Lu Zheng immediately made a judgment: "Xue Er, you send someone to intercept that team. Xin Xin and I will chase after them from another direction. Yun Haiwang and Ajir are definitely not in that team. They couldn't possibly be without their finances. I prepared a large amount of finances for them before. Given time, they will definitely not give up."
Xue Qianyu nodded: "You two be careful, and bring more people with you."
After Xue Qianyu left, Lu Zheng pulled Gu Xin and broke through the encirclement, leaving the palace.
After running around for a while, Gu Xin roughly guessed where Lu Zheng was taking her: "Brother Yuanyuan, are we going to Princess Agil's residence?"
Lu Zheng nodded: "That's right. A large amount of valuables are in the princess's residence. If they escaped, they must have started from there. We might be able to find some clues. Most importantly, perhaps they escaped directly through a secret passage in the princess's residence. I suddenly remembered that there's a place in the princess's residence that no one can enter except Agil. There's definitely something fishy going on there."
After leaving the palace, Gu Xin called Bai Si and Mo Fei, asking them to lead a team to follow.
If they really were fleeing with a large amount of valuables, it certainly wouldn't be that father and daughter; there would definitely be many people following them. Even if the two of them caught up, it would probably take some effort. Therefore, they would have to bring people with them.
Upon arriving at the Seventh Princess's residence, it was just like the royal palace, filled with many mindless, pulseless zombies.
Lu Zheng recognized most of the people here; they were all servants from the Seventh Princess's former residence.
Some of them, judging by their clothing, are ordinary people.
The team led by Bai Si and Mo Fei was just right to deal with this group of people.
Lu Zheng led Gu Xin to the forbidden area of the princess's residence.
Actually, Lu Zheng had wanted to sneak in and investigate before, but there were always people guarding this place, and he was worried about exposing his identity, so he didn't make any rash moves.
The two rushed inside and encountered a set of traps, but fortunately they reacted quickly and were not hit by the poisoned arrows.
Suddenly, they heard a rustling sound. Looking in the direction of the sound, they both felt a chill run down their spines as sand snakes crawled out of a pit.
The pit was covered with a net, and some of the poisoned arrows were shot from there. As the arrows were shot out, a gap appeared in the net, and the snakes crawled out through the gap.
“Brother Yuanyuan, this is also a mechanism. When we opened the door, it triggered the poison arrow. The arrow fired, which triggered a switch and emitted a strange smell. These snakes must have come out because of this smell,” Gu Xin said after closing the door.
"Too many. These snakes are extremely venomous. How did they manage to catch so many?" Lu Zheng frowned.
“This must have been caught by Agil. Didn’t you say she was immune to all poisons? By the way, where is the pharmacy in the princess’s residence? Agil can’t possibly take care of these snakes every day; there must be someone specifically looking after them. It’s inevitable that she would get bitten. The pharmacy must have medicine to counteract the poison. I can go and see if there’s any medicine that can make them all disappear!” Gu Xin asked.
"The pharmacy is right next door. Come on, I'll take you there!" Lu Zheng led Gu Xin to the pharmacy at the princess's residence.
After confirming that there was no danger inside, Gu Xin asked Lu Zheng to guard outside the forbidden area. If the smell wafted out, the sand snakes would definitely crawl out, and she would try to stop them.
Once this thing comes out, I wonder how many soldiers will be injured.
