The guards of the Seventh Princess's residence have surrounded the people who kidnapped her.
Lu Zheng ran over to watch the commotion, but didn't go to the front; he wanted to maintain his image as someone who was powerless.
He hid behind a rockery. As soon as he stood firm, the rooftops around the courtyard were covered with people holding bows and arrows. Because it was too dark, he couldn't tell whether they were Yunhai's or Liangjing's people.
Lu Zheng picked up something casually to use as a shield later. Whether it was Yunhai's people or Liangjing's people, he was dispensable to them. These arrows didn't have eyes!
"Release the arrows!"
A cold snort came from the rooftop, and then arrows rained down without warning.
Many of the guards in the Seventh Princess's residence were shot down without warning.
Normally, there would be negotiations between the two sides in such situations, but the other side completely deviated from the expected approach and simply shot arrows.
Lu Zheng was glad he had picked up something to defend himself. Now that everything was in chaos, he managed to escape into the house through the crowd.
Princess Agil, who was tied up and had her mouth covered, saw Lu Zheng's figure. This didn't seem like a lucky escape; this guy was quite skilled!
However, she couldn't care less about Lu Zheng at the moment. Based on the reaction of the people who captured her, she judged that the person who shot the arrow was not the same as the people who captured her. So who was the person who shot the arrow?
If it's not from Liangjing Kingdom, then is it from Gorz or Salin?
The group seemed to have deliberately given the robbers a chance to escape. After the robbers successfully escaped with the Seventh Princess, the group of archers also disappeared into the darkness.
Those still alive in the Seventh Princess's residence immediately ran to the palace to report the news.
Before long, the eldest prince arrived and summoned all the stewards of the Seventh Princess's residence for questioning.
Now, Lu Zheng is a minor steward in the Seventh Princess's residence. He learned the general outline of what happened from the answers of these people. However, he still doesn't know what Liang Jingguo's sudden appearance to kidnap people is for.
All the stewards knew was that the Seventh Princess had gone to bed early tonight, and that the maid had suddenly shouted that there were kidnappers, and that they claimed to be from Liangjing Kingdom. The guards heard the shouts and immediately went out to help.
Could it be that the Yunhai tribe has already made a move against Liangjing Kingdom?
That's not right. All of Yunhai Tribe's troops are currently in the tribe. There haven't been any large-scale departures. Could it be that Yunhai Tribe has other troops that haven't appeared yet?
The eldest prince kicked the head steward of the manor: "You can't even guard the gate properly, you're useless, utterly useless!"
After kicking the man, he immediately turned to the Seventh Princess's maid: "How did you know the kidnappers were from Liangjing Kingdom?"
The maid said tremblingly, "It was Your Highness, the princess guessed it, and the other party did not deny it."
The eldest prince threw her, and the maid was slammed against the wall, bounced back, and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely. She was dead.
No one dared to utter a sound.
Lu Zheng remained silent among the group of managers.
After venting his anger, the eldest prince immediately returned to the palace.
The head steward then told everyone to tidy up and go back to await further instructions. He then ordered someone to carry out the maid who had been killed by the eldest prince.
After returning to his room, Lu Zheng immediately changed into a set of night clothes and headed to the Cloud Sea Palace.
With the Seventh Princess kidnapped, Yunhai will definitely take action. Since the Seventh Princess isn't at home, he has no way of knowing anything, so he has to investigate himself. Fortunately, he's been sneaking into the palace these past few months and already knows its layout.
