"So, none of you saw the Princess?"
Xie Zhun questioned.
Xuanfeng knelt and replied, "Your Highness, General Zheng and I led men to break in..."
Chaos reigned within the palace; bullet holes were found in the bodies of the General of the Cavalry, the Empress, and the Crown Prince...
But the princess was nowhere to be seen.
Xuanfeng's implication was clear: only Ning Xier had broken in, and only she was capable of wielding a gun...
"Are you sure they've searched the entire palace?"
After pondering for a moment, Xuanfeng replied, "Your Majesty... after Emperor Xiaowen passed away, and the Empress, Crown Prince, and all others perished..."
The second and third princes led men to massacre palace servants under the guise of an attempt to cover up the truth...
Later, they fought each other again, and fires broke out all over the palace...
General Zheng led his men into battle against the Imperial Guards...
My duty is to ensure General Zheng's safety and prevent him from searching around...
really......"
Xuanfeng couldn't continue.
"What about outside the city? Is it possible to leave?"
Although this possibility is almost impossible.
Knowing he would worry, Xie Zhun couldn't believe that Ning Xi'er would leave alone without leaving any clues...
Unless, when she was taken away, she was powerless or unconscious...
Xie Zhun composed himself, his face pale with worry and heartache, but he remained calm.
We can't let her efforts go to waste.
"Before entering the city, General Zheng arranged for two hundred men to monitor various sections of the city wall in preparation for receiving the princess."
"Wasn't there a restriction before? Is it still there?"
If so, his first priority is to find the person who set it up and smash their head in!
Xuanfeng answered truthfully, "Your Highness, there isn't any right now."
We are incompetent; we are unable to perceive the restrictions...
Besides the princess, helicopters, transport planes, and other aircraft will also be affected...
Xie Zhun had started early on. The restrictions set up by the sorcerer could only affect those with supernatural abilities and objects within the space.
Xuanfeng continued, "Before entering the city, the young general instructed me to fly the transport plane high in the sky to sense the changes in airflow..."
Midway through the journey, the impact on the transport plane suddenly disappeared...
"This humble servant immediately descended and reported to the young general. The young general then led this humble servant, and together we stormed into the palace..."
Seeing Xie Zhun remain silent, Xuan Feng lowered his head and finally spoke about the most difficult part:
"actually......
The young general led his subordinates to search every corner of the entire town...
Although the princess was not found, but...
But before we entered, apart from the bodies of Emperor Xiaowen and the Empress, no one else had broken into the main hall...
But at the time, we found a line of bloodstains under the outer wall of the hall, which had dried recently...
"I found a few strands of long hair on the wall..."
Xie Zhun's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"Where is he? Has he been found inside the palace or elsewhere?"
Xuanfeng stated frankly, "The chaos is not over yet. Before Your Highness arrived, this humble servant was still searching..."
Besides the visible areas, there are many hidden places within the palace where people are imprisoned...
If Zheng Ye only brought his men, they would still have to fight against the second and third princes' forces...
Finding people is simply not enough.
"Let's go! Let's go see the people the princess saved!"
Xie Zhun, Qin Yuan, Xuan Feng, and others arrived at the resettlement point outside the city.
Upon arrival, the Protector of the Nation was persuading the rescued minister.
Upon seeing Xie Zhun, the Duke of Huguo was completely taken aback, not expecting him to arrive so quickly.
"Your Highness, now is not the time..."
The Duke of Protectorate stood up and said.
Xie Zhun's gaze swept lightly over the high-ranking officials who had just been persuading the Duke of Huguo...
The expression on his face hadn't even had time to fade...
Xie Zhun said meaningfully, "Grandpa, now is the perfect time."
At this moment, a minister stepped forward, who had previously spoken on their behalf when the Prince Cheng's residence and the Duke of Huguo's residence were raided...
However, all the other ministers who helped to offer advice were punished, after Xie Zhun sent someone to remind them...
He didn't insist on it, but his stance remained firm, awaiting Xie Zhun's counterattack...
However, to everyone's surprise, His Highness Prince Cheng was able to stand up again!
"Your Highness! This old minister has waited far too long for you!"
The minister was overcome with emotion and tears streamed down his face.
Several more ministers stepped forward.
In a court controlled by Emperor Xiaowen, the Crown Prince, and Shen Tuo, it was already quite an achievement to have preserved these few high-ranking officials...
The other high-ranking officials looked at each other, some with hesitation, others with difficulty...
Xie Zhun never expected to see a familiar face...
