Chapter 340 The Door is Full of Corpses
The leader of the men in black continued, "We are from the underworld. We are just taking money and helping others to get rid of disasters. We have no deep hatred with you. Please give us brothers a way out..."
Baili Qingqu's mouth revealed a cruel smile. "This Divine Doctor and Huo Li have no grudges against each other. Why would she want to capture me? What will she do after capturing me?"
The leader of the men in black thought for a moment before speaking again, "Rumor has it that the princess is the apprentice of the 'Poison Lord'. She is ruthless and possesses unparalleled poison skills. Perhaps she's afraid you'll ruin her plans!"
After hearing these words, Baili Qingyun's eyes turned slightly, like the most cunning stars in the night sky, turning several times in a row.
No wonder they have been searching for that master of poison skills in the capital, but it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and they can't find him!
Now the fox's tail is finally revealed.
During this period of time, in addition to Bai Wuji, several officials and military generals were also harmed by the poison. He and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have always suspected that there is a master of making and using poisons hidden in this shocking city, but they have searched everywhere to no avail.
But I didn't expect that she was a weak girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, and also a princess of extraordinary status.
This is really unexpected!
Now, they have finally found the exact target and will not allow her to continue using poison to harm people.
Then, there is a reasonable explanation for her behavior of poisoning Lin Pianran, but the reason for the poisoning may require further investigation.
Now that we have a goal, everything will become extremely simple and all difficulties will be solved.
A faint smile of disdain appeared on Baili Qingyun's lips, but that indifference disappeared in an instant, replaced by a face as cold as frost.
In an instant, his face seemed to be possessed by a bloodthirsty Yama, and a strong murderous aura filled his body, which made people shudder.
He picked up the two axes that were shining with cold light, and like a god of war rushing out of hell, he chopped down the remaining men in black without mercy. The flying axe shadows showed his decisiveness in killing.
In just a quarter of an hour, Baili Qingyun slaughtered all the men in black.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Baili Qingyun's face was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice.
He sent out a signal, and then bandaged the wounds of the two secret guards who were protecting him. Fortunately, the injuries of the two were very minor, just some superficial wounds.
After bandaging the wound, he slowly wiped the blood off the golden axe, and then carefully placed the golden axe into the medicine box.
He then slung the medicine box over his shoulder and whispered, "The other secret guards will be here to help soon. Gather all the bodies and throw them at the gate of Prince Jing's mansion!"
"As a courtesy, it is reasonable for us to return the body to Prince Jing's Mansion."
The two secret guards nodded in agreement.
After giving the order, Baili Qingyun picked up his medicine box and rushed to the Prince's Mansion at lightning speed.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight quietly peeked through the window and gently brushed Lin Pianran's eyelids, she slowly opened her eyes.
At the same time, Huanxue's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. She ran into the room with brisk steps and began to tell her the news outside.
"Miss, something big happened last night."
Huanxue deliberately kept the suspense and stopped after saying one sentence.
Lin Pianran just thought this girl was funny, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up. She also cooperated very well, pretending to be ignorant and asked, "Huanxue, tell me quickly, is there any important news?"
Huanxue then said with a smile, "The Wang family's mansion was raided by a notorious thief. A large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and valuable treasures were stolen. Early in the morning, the Wang family went to the Dali Temple to complain."
"They extorted 100,000 taels of silver from us yesterday, but to our surprise, they were robbed clean at night. It's so satisfying! Evildoers will surely be punished."
Lin Pianran was not surprised at all by what she had done. Everything was within her expectations.
What made her even happier was that her action actually brought such a brilliant smile to Huanxue's face, which was something she had never expected.
Huanxue then continued, "Last night, not only was the Wang family's mansion robbed, but even Prince Jing's mansion was visited by thieves. It's just that they were lucky. Only the backyard and storeroom of Prince Jing's mansion were looted. Fortunately, the valuables in the front yard were saved."
"I just didn't expect that not only was there a fire in the backyard of Prince Jing's mansion, but there was also a horrific incident in the front yard."
Lin Pianran quickly pricked up her ears and kept urging, "Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me..."
Seeing that the young lady was urging her, Huanxue didn't dare to keep it a secret any longer.
"I heard that early this morning, twenty or thirty assassins' bodies were piled up at the gate of Prince Jing's mansion, completely blocking the main entrance..."
"The blood at the gate could be described as a river. The scene was extremely tragic, horrifying and appalling."
This piece of news was beyond everyone's expectations, and it aroused Lin Pianran's strong interest.
She opened her red lips slightly and asked the person beside her in shock, "Do you know what happened to those killers' bodies?"
"Those people were assassins hired by Huo Li. They went to assassinate Divine Doctor Baili last night, but were eventually killed by him. Then Huo Li ordered the secret guards to pile up all the bodies at the gate of Prince Jing's mansion. He wanted to scare them to death and give them a warning."
After hearing what happened, Lin Pianran felt extremely happy.
This Huo Li is really asking for her own death. Not only did she secretly poison her, she even dared to hire a killer to assassinate Baili Qingyun. She really thought that she was a princess and that knowing some poison techniques was a big deal.
Don't you know that there is always someone better than you? If she and Baili Qingyun fight back easily, she will be killed without a trace of armor left.
He really doesn't know his place and is simply courting death.
Thinking about Huo Li, who was fed three kinds of poison by her last night, Lin Pianran was so proud that she almost laughed out loud.
The disaster in Prince Jing’s Mansion has just begun, the best is yet to come!
Just wait!
Lin Pianran asked again, "Did anyone go to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case last night?"
Jingyu was surprised for a moment, then quickly said, "There were about thirty or forty ragged people who ran to Jingzhao Prefecture to report to the authorities in the middle of the night."
"They said they were captured by the young princess of Prince Jing's mansion and taken to the basement to be used for poison testing. Each of them had scars from the poison, and they were all tortured horribly."
