Chapter 285 The Person Has Been Caught
When Wei Xun left the inn, he secretly passed on the message, instructing Zhou Ruiyuan to send people to guard the new inn.
There weren't many people at the new inn; Zhou Ruiyuan and his constables had already filled the first floor.
Seeing the crowd gathering around, the princess looked at Wei Xun in surprise and asked him coldly, "What have you done?"
Wei Xun slowly walked to Zhou Ruiyuan's side. "You poisoned someone to death, a crime deserving of death. It's not wrong for me to report you to the authorities, is it?"
The princess gave a cold laugh. "Do you think a mere county magistrate from Xuan Yue Kingdom can control me? I am a princess of the Northern Di!"
Zhou Ruiyuan sat upright in front, completely disregarding her arrogance. "Princess? What princess? I only see a poisoner here."
Having said that, he waved his hand and said, "Men, arrest them all."
The princess brought a small number of people, but each of them was highly skilled in martial arts.
They quickly surrounded the princess.
The princess looked coldly at Zhou Ruiyuan and Wei Xun, and said with a sinister smile, "You think you can take me down?"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the guards suddenly collapsed one by one.
She was shocked. "What's going on?"
Wei Xun covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and replied, "Unfortunately, I had Lord Zhou light some sleeping incense in the room long ago."
The princess was horrified. She kicked the person lying on the ground hard, yelling, "Aren't you all supposed to be highly skilled in martial arts? How come you've been knocked out by such a small amount of sleeping potion? Get up! Get up now!"
The guards lying on the ground remained motionless.
Wei Xun sneered, "You don't need to waste your time; they won't wake up anytime soon."
Aunt Zhou made incense, and Du Wanchun learned the craft and started making sleeping incense.
Aside from her self-made antidote, virtually no one can counteract her sleeping potion.
"Wei Xun, I never imagined you would become so despicable." The princess said through gritted teeth as she looked at Wei Xun.
Wei Xun took the antidote from the constable, swallowed it in one gulp, and then slowly walked to the princess's side. "I learned all these methods from you."
The princess gripped the whip tightly, ready to strike him, but just as she raised her hand, she suddenly felt dizzy.
Wei Xun snatched the whip from her hand. "You've used this whip to kill quite a few people. I'll keep it for now."
The princess, clutching her head, half-squatted on the ground, "You dare kill me, your mother..."
Wei Xun interrupted her, "I will write to my father to tell you that it's good for you to be with me."
The princess stared at him with wide eyes, incredulous.
Wei Xun slowly said, "We are currently in a small village in Xuan Yue Kingdom. Whatever happens here is just a matter of a word from me. When we get to Bei Di, I will say that you encountered bandits on the road and accidentally fell off a cliff. When you die, your father will not dare to say a word."
To deal with such a ruthless person, you have to be even more ruthless than her, follow her path, and she will have nowhere to go.
"You...Brother Xun..." The princess's expression softened, revealing a pitiful look, but she quickly fainted.
Zhou Ruiyuan walked over and asked, "What do you plan to do with these people?"
Wei Xun said slowly, "Find the princess and lock her up in a dungeon. Kill everyone else."
Zhou Ruiyuan did not refute, and then asked, "You took a risk today. If Wanchun hadn't asked me to come with you, you probably would have been captured by her."
While Wei Xun and the princess were arguing at the inn, Zhou Ruiyuan deliberately hid in the room next to them to listen. Otherwise, relying solely on Wei Xun to relay the message, it would have taken who knows how long it would have taken for him to arrive here.
Wei Xun bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhou."
