Lu Zheng felt that Ajir was acting very strangely today. He wanted to stand at the door so that he could hear the sounds inside even if the door was closed, but before he could even stand still, he was told to move away.
Standing far away from the room, with the door closed, Lu Zheng couldn't hear what was being said inside at all.
Looking around him, he saw Yunhai soldiers standing with their swords drawn, not the usual palace guards.
Lu Zheng calmed down.
A moment later, the door opened, and Agil called someone in. She glanced at Lu Zheng from afar, her expression a half-smile.
Lu Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
As expected, the four Bai brothers, Bai Er, Bai Liu, Bai Ba, and Bai Shi, were brought before Lu Zheng shortly afterward.
Cloud Sea King and Agil came out.
"Tie him up too!" Agil pointed at Lu Zheng.
"Princess! What mistake have I made?" Lu Zheng asked in surprise.
“You know perfectly well what I’m asking!” Agil glanced at him. “They know my Cloud Sea so well, all thanks to you!”
"I don't understand what the princess is saying!" Lu Zheng said, feeling wronged.
"Is that so?" Agil took out a dagger, stepped forward, approached Lu Zheng, and pressed the dagger against Lu Zheng's stomach. "This dagger of mine is poisoned, and there is no antidote in the world. Do you want to show your loyalty by letting me stab you?"
“Fine! I testify! My loyalty to the princess is as clear as day and night! If I die, I hope the princess will bury me properly!” As Lu Zheng spoke, he took a step forward and plunged the dagger into his stomach.
The action was so fast that almost as soon as he finished speaking, the dagger pierced Lu Zheng's stomach.
Not only Agil, but everyone around was stunned.
“Did you think I was deliberately testing you? This dagger is really poisoned.” Agil released his grip.
"I don't think the princess is testing me. Since the princess thinks I'm disloyal, then I can only prove my loyalty with my death." As he spoke, blood trickled from the corner of Lu Zheng's mouth, and his body slumped to the side.
Agil hugged Lu Zheng.
Bai Er and the others: General Zhou, you're finished. We'll tell the Third Miss.
"Agil, it seems you've guessed the wrong person!" King Yunhai walked over and said with a frown.
“Father, it’s either him or them. These people cannot be let go. Lock them up in prison, and we’ll take them with us when we attack the Quicksand,” Agil said with absolute certainty.
Yun Haiwang looked at Bai Er and the others, especially Bai Er.
Yunhai also has generals who can lead troops into battle, but their abilities are not as good as Yunna's, the eldest prince's, the queen's, or Ajier's. Bai Er is barely acceptable. In his heart, he is unwilling to believe that this is a spy sent by the other side.
"Guards, take him back to the princess's residence!" Agil summoned guards, who carried Lu Zheng out of the palace.
"Father, I must return to the palace now. As for the specific plan, just do as I suggested," Agil said to King Yunhai.
"Ajir, tell your father, do you want to get married?" King Yunhai looked at Lu Zheng, who was being carried away and hadn't gone far.
“No. I just don’t want any disloyal people around me. Now that I’ve tested him, he is indeed loyal. Although he has no martial prowess, I trust him to stay and handle the trivial matters. Father, I take my leave!” Agil clasped his hands in a salute, turned, and left.
King Yunhai stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.
After a long while, he looked up at the sky, wondering if their Cloud Sea could survive this ordeal. He had no idea.
After losing his beloved son and his wife of many years, King Yunhai began to doubt himself. Could it be that Yunhai could no longer dominate the west?
