Chapter 532 Calculation
Luo Qinghan walked towards the man lying in a pool of blood.
He always felt that this man was strange, and he wanted to see if there were any clues on him that could prove his identity.
At this moment, an arrow suddenly broke through the air and shot towards the direction where Luo Qinghan was!
Luo Qinghan reacted very quickly.
He took a step to the side and just missed the arrow.
The arrow missed and stabbed into the ground.
Zhao Xian shouted: "There is an assassin, protect the emperor!"
The Yulin Guards immediately gathered in the direction of the prince.
Seeing this, Luo Yechen quickly squeezed over.
Soon many more arrows were shot out from the depths of the forest.
Arrows rained down.
The Yulin Guards had no armor to protect them, so they could only wield their swords to block the arrows, but many of them were still shot and fell one after another.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Luo Qinghan immediately gave the order.
"withdraw!"
The Yulin Guards immediately escorted the prince as he retreated.
They ran down the mountain in one breath.
Looking back, I found that no one was chasing me.
Luo Yechen breathed a sigh of relief, he finally escaped!
However, Luo Qinghan's expression looked extremely bad.
Because he saw thick smoke coming out from deep in the mountains.
The direction from which the thick smoke came was exactly where the mysterious villa was located.
Luo Qinghan had already realized by now that he had fallen into a trap.
Those people shot arrows just now not to assassinate him, but to force them away and then take the opportunity to set fire to the villa.
As for why we do this?
Of course, it was to destroy the body.
There must be a secret hidden in this villa. The owner behind the villa does not want others to discover the secret, so he can only use this simple and crude method to cut off clues, making it impossible for others to investigate further.
Luo Qinghan said with a sullen face: "Zhao Xian, take a few people and sneak back to check the situation of the villa."
"Yes."
Zhao Xian called five Yulin Guards and quickly ran towards the villa.
The others were divided into two groups. Those who were injured immediately returned to the city for treatment, while the rest stayed where they were to protect the safety of the prince and the King of England.
Soon Zhao Xian and his group came back.
"Your Highness, the villa was on fire. It was completely burned from the inside out. The bodies were all cleaned up. No trace was left."
Luo Qinghan was not surprised at all.
Those people really wanted to destroy the body.
He looked at Luo Yechen and asked in a deep voice, "How did you find this villa?"
Luo Yechen didn't think much about it and answered truthfully: "One of my men found it, but I don't remember who it was."
He hired hundreds of people to help search the mountain, many of whom he had never even seen before and couldn't tell who was who.
Luo Qinghan: "Call that man here. I have something to ask him."
Luo Yechen asked someone to call one of his advisers over.
This strategist was responsible for hiring people to search the mountain. After hearing the King of England's request, he immediately opened the list he carried with him and started searching quickly.
However, he flipped through the entire list and still couldn't find the person the King of England was looking for.
The counselor said with a strange look on his face: "Your Majesty, did you remember it wrongly? Among the people we hired, there is no such person as you mentioned."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Qinghan's heart sank to the bottom.
The worst outcome occurred.
This matter was a setup from beginning to end.
Someone deliberately lured them to the mysterious villa in the name of King You.
Everything that happens next should also be within the calculations of the person behind the scenes.
Invisibly, they became pawns in the hands of others.
Luo Yechen was still arguing with his adviser.
"I can't remember it wrong. It was the man named Wang Er who told me that there was a manor in the mountains and that there were people hiding in the manor. He also pointed me in the direction, and I found the manor based on the direction he pointed. If it weren't for him pointing the way, how could we have found that inconspicuous manor in such a large forest?!"
The counselor said with a stiff face: "Don't worry, I don't doubt your intention. Maybe there is some misunderstanding in this matter."
Luo Yechen said angrily: "I don't care what misunderstanding there is. Anyway, you must find that guy named Wang Er. I just don't believe that a living person can disappear just like that! In broad daylight, can I really see a ghost?!"
Luo Qinghan said quietly: "Maybe I really saw a ghost."
Luo Yechen: “…”
He is not afraid of anything else in his life, except those ghostly things.
When Luo Yechen heard the prince's words, a layer of white sweat immediately broke out on his back.
He stiffened his neck and shouted cowardly, "Do you think I will be scared by you just because you said that? You are dreaming. There are no ghosts in this world. Don't even think about showing me your weakness!"
Luo Qinghan: "What I mean is that maybe someone is doing something behind the scenes."
Luo Yechen was stunned and asked hurriedly: "What do you mean by this? Do you know something? Tell me quickly."
Luo Qinghan: "You are already an adult. You can't expect others to answer your questions whenever you encounter a problem. You have to learn to think independently. If you want to know the answer, go find it yourself. That Wang Er is the clue. You should find a way to find him first."
Luo Yechen: "That person has disappeared, how can I find him?"
Luo Qinghan: "Aren't you rich? As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. If you spend a little more money, there will always be someone willing to provide clues."
Luo Yechen touched his chin. He might not be good at other things, but he was good at spending money!
An idea quickly came to his mind.
When Luo Qinghan returned to the East Palace, the sun had already set.
He went directly to Qingge Palace.
Because he had been busy in the forest for most of the day, his shoes were inevitably stained with some mud, and his clothes were torn in several places by tree branches.
Although he had packed up simply on the way back, he still looked a little disheveled compared to his usual appearance.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Xixi asked curiously.
"Where are you going to rob? Why don't you take me with you?"
Luo Qinghan said expressionlessly: "I was tricked today."
He recounted his experiences in the mysterious villa and said at the end.
"There's definitely something fishy about that man's background. He looked like he knew me, but I didn't. And the look he gave me when he died made me feel uncomfortable."
Xiao Xixi comforted him, "Maybe you're thinking too much. Maybe that person recognized the wrong person? Maybe it's all just a coincidence? Before there is definite evidence to prove that person is related to you, you'd better not think too much and just do your own thing."
Luo Qinghan whispered: "If that person really has something to do with me..."
Xiao Xixi held his hand.
"Most of people's troubles come from their own fantasies. The more you think, the easier it is for you to get yourself into trouble. Instead of scaring yourself here, why don't you help me think about what gift to give to the Queen Mother on her birthday?"
