Chapter 120 Huo Xingzhi Killed the Princess
The more Princess Yan Ning thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
She looked at Duke Gao and said, "No matter what, this woman cannot stay any longer."
"Since we Jingche can't get her, let's destroy her as soon as possible to prevent any more trouble."
Duke Gao got up from the bed and began to put on his clothes.
"I know about this. I will ask Concubine Gao to test her a little."
He glanced outside the wing room and whispered, "It's getting late, and I have to attend the morning court tomorrow, so I'll go back first."
"I'll see you another day."
After Duke Gao finished speaking, he turned around and left the wing room and went directly to the side door of the mansion.
He got into a carriage and left.
At the same time, a group of black-clad guards surrounded the entire mansion.
The black-clad guards followed Bai Ze's instructions and poured scented oil around the house.
Just one order and this place will be reduced to ashes.
When Huo Xingzhi brought Bai Ze here, a black-clad guard hurried over.
"Your Majesty, I just saw a man enter this house and come out two hours later."
Huo Xingzhi stood in the jungle, looking towards the house, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can you see clearly? Who is that man?"
The black-clad guard shook his head: "I didn't see clearly, but judging by his build and age, he should be around forty or fifty years old."
Huo Xingzhi frowned slightly.
Forty or fifty years old.
Who is it?
Could it be that he is Princess Yan Ning’s adulterer?
Huo Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Forty or fifty years old? I guess my good aunt just can't stand the loneliness."
"ignition!"
Huo Xing waved his hand, and several black-clad guards holding torches lit the incense oil outside the house.
Princess Yan Ning was sleeping soundly in the side room when she was awakened by a burst of hurried footsteps.
"Princess, Princess, something happened!"
"The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"
Princess Yan Ning's expression changed, she hurriedly put on her clothes and got up from the bed.
She hurriedly opened the door of the compartment, and what came into her sight was the flames rising into the sky.
There was also the sound of swords and sabers.
Several men in black rushed into the house like ghosts and killed all her guards and maids with a single knife.
Princess Yanning was frightened and panicked.
"What's going on?"
"Who is it! Who is it?"
As soon as she walked out of the room, a streak of bright red blood instantly stained her face.
"ah!"
A scream escaped from his throat, and Yan Ning got up from the ground in a panic, groping in the dark.
She returned to her room, found a black dress to put on, and went out through the dark hole in the south.
Trying to leave the house through the dark hole.
But when she reached the end of the dark cave, she realized that it had been blocked.
It seems that these people came prepared.
Who on earth wants her life?
She returned the same way and saw flames rising from the courtyard, and fireworks set the wing rooms on fire.
Countless men in black entered the yard and slaughtered everyone in it.
She stepped back in fear, and just as she was about to hide in the secret passage, a familiar voice came from behind her.
"Long time no see, my dear aunt."
His heart suddenly trembled, Yan Ning turned around, and saw a man in black holding a longbow not far away.
The man was like a ghost in the night, so cold that it made people feel cold all over.
The sharp arrow was aimed directly at her head.
"Huo...Huo Xingzhi."
"Zhi'er...I'm your aunt, are you going to kill me?"
Huo Xingzhi stepped forward step by step, with an indescribable coldness at the corner of his lips.
"Aunt? Princess Yan Ning is really my aunt?"
"Where was Princess Yanning when my mother died?"
Yan Ning's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Huo Xingzhi in disbelief.
"Zhi'er, what do you mean? What does your mother's death have to do with me?"
"How can it not be related?" Huo Xingzhi snorted coldly.
"If my guess is correct, you are from Qin, not the real Princess Yanning!"
"This is also the reason why you killed my mother. Do you think I am right, my dear aunt?"
Princess Yan Ning's face was pale and she looked a little unbelievable.
She grinned.
"I didn't expect you to know all this?"
"When did you find out?"
"Huo Xingzhi, what else do you know?"
Huo Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, "I also know that you were closely involved in General Shen's death. I also know that you secretly assisted the Shen family's daughter in being transferred to the Su family!"
"A woman from Qin State is trying to overthrow the Great Yan State."
"My dear aunt, let Dayan be your burial place!"
"Swish!" A sharp arrow shot out from the air.
It shot straight towards Princess Yan Ning's forehead.
Princess Yan Ning dodged to the side, and countless sharp arrows flew towards her like lightning, shooting straight at her.
In an instant, Princess Yan Ning felt tingling all over her body and collapsed.
Huo Xingzhi had no expression on his face and put down the longbow in his hand.
"Turn this place into ashes."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The black-clad guards received orders and set the entire house on fire, and the flames soon shot up into the sky.
Countless thick smoke rose into the sky.
Gao Guogong was leaning back in the carriage and dozing off when he heard the voices of guards outside.
"Master, there's a fire."
Seeing that the person inside did not respond, the guard shouted again.
"Master, there's a fire."
Duke Gao finally woke up from his dream and mumbled, "What does the fire have to do with me?"
The guard said, "Judging from the direction of the fire, it should be Princess Yan Ning's residence."
As soon as the guard finished speaking, Duke Gao's expression changed and he immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Not far away, flames shot up into the sky.
Thick smoke filled the sky.
"Quick...quick, change direction."
"go back!"
"Yes, master!" After receiving the order, the guard quickly turned the horse around and rushed directly to Princess Yan Ning's residence.
Duke Gao sat in the carriage, trembling all over and beginning to mutter to himself.
"No way, no way, no way!"
At the same time, after Huo Xingzhi ordered the guards to leave, the black-clad guards disappeared directly into the dense forest.
He and Bai Ze jumped on their horses, whips in hand, and rushed towards Yanjing.
When passing by an official road, he saw an inconspicuous carriage coming towards him from afar.
Huo Xingzhi glanced at the carriage.
The carriage was very ordinary and had no flaws.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Huo Xingzhi said: "Nothing, maybe I am overthinking it."
"Let's go, Heng'er is still waiting for me to return."
The master and servant held long whips in their hands and headed directly towards Prince Li's Mansion.
Duke Gao in the carriage lowered a corner of the curtain, his whole body trembling.
"Could it be Prince Li? Was it Prince Li who set the fire?"
When they arrived at the house in their carriage, it was already reduced to ashes.
Even the bodies of the servants were burned to ashes.
"No...no, Yan Ning!"
"Yan Ning!"
"Impossible, impossible!"
