Chapter 622: Counterattack
Xie Chuxue helped Prince Xiling out of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, but was stopped by Luo Yunxuan.
Luo Yunxuan pressed, "Where is my mother? Where did you hide her?"
The palace is in chaos right now, and Concubine Rou is a cowardly person. If she encounters danger, she will definitely not be able to protect herself.
Xie Chuxue comforted her, "Don't worry too much. I have already sent someone to escort Concubine Rou out of the palace. We will be able to see her after we leave the palace."
Luo Yunxuan was skeptical: "Really?"
Xie Chuxue asked back: "It's already this time, is there any need for us to lie to you?"
In order to find Concubine Rou, Luo Yunxuan could only patiently continue to deal with them.
Under the protection of the death squad, the three escaped from the palace through another gate.
Late at night, horse-drawn carriages sped along the streets.
Luo Yunxuan asked: "Didn't you say that I could see my mother when I entered the palace? Where is she?"
Xie Chuxue said, "I told them to wait for us at the palace gate, but you also know that the city is full of the prince's men. If we are not careful, we will be discovered. They must be afraid of being discovered, so they left the city first. We just need to go out of the city and meet them."
Luo Yunxuan stared at her, his eyes gradually becoming gloomy.
"Are you guys kidding me?"
Xie Chuxue looked innocent: "I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe me, forget it."
Prince Xiling held his chest, his face turning pale.
Xie Chuxue noticed his abnormality and knew that the poison had taken effect again, so she quickly took out the medicine bottle, poured out the powder, mixed it with water and fed it to him.
Luo Yunxuan looked at them gloomily.
After drinking the medicine, King Xiling felt much better.
He asked softly, "Have the people from Canglan Garden withdrawn?"
Xie Chuxue: "I've asked them to withdraw."
"Where's Fang Wujiu?"
Fang Wujiu has been staying in his own courtyard to recuperate since his last injury, and rarely shows up unless necessary.
This time when Prince Xiling and Qin Zhong launched a coup, they did not bring Fang Wujiu with them, so he was left in Canglan Garden.
Now that the coup has failed, Prince Xiling is preparing to flee back to Xiling County.
He didn't plan to take Fang Wujiu with him.
Because he already suspected that the other party had no alcohol.
Although what Qin Zhong said before was due to impulse, if you think about it carefully, it is not completely unreasonable.
How could a smart person like Fang Wujiu not know that we have to uproot the grass at its roots?
But he always found reasons not to kill the prince, giving the prince a chance to reverse the situation.
Who would believe that he did it unintentionally?
In fact, none of this matters to King Xiling.
Regardless of whether Fang Wujiu's mistake was unintentional or intentional, King Xiling did not want to use him anymore, and his only value now was the clues about Xuanmen he carried.
Prince Xiling was poisoned and had not much time left. Even the palace doctors were helpless.
Originally, he wanted to use the imperial power to find a way to detoxify after seizing the throne.
But now that the palace coup has failed, he can only try another method and go find the legendary Xuanmen.
It is said that there are methods of seeking immortality and asking for the Tao in the Xuanmen sect. As long as one seeks the Tao, one can achieve immortality.
King Xiling doesn't want to die.
He wants to use Fang Wujiu to find Xuanmen and seek the method of immortality!
Xie Chuxue answered truthfully, "I have followed your instructions and asked Han Li to take Fang Wujiu out of the city. If Fang Wujiu refuses, just cut his tendons, knock him unconscious and tie him up. We will meet outside the city later."
Han Li is a assassin carefully trained by King Xiling. He is highly skilled in martial arts and is particularly good at assassination.
For the past six months, Han Li had been secretly keeping an eye on Fang Wujiu, and Fang Wujiu was completely unaware of it.
As long as Han Li takes action, Fang Wujiu will definitely not be able to escape.
…
In fact, even Han Li himself thinks so.
It can be seen from the fact that he followed Fang Wujiu for such a long time without being discovered that his martial arts skills are far superior to Fang Wujiu, and it is easy for him to subdue Fang Wujiu.
After receiving the order to arrest Fang Wujiu, he immediately rushed into the room where Fang Wujiu was.
However.
The room was empty, Fang Wujiu had disappeared long ago.
Han Li couldn't believe it.
He saw Fang Wujiu enter the room with his own eyes, and Fang Wujiu never came out again. How could he disappear? !
Could it be that Fang Wujiu knows how to escape underground?
Just when Han Li was puzzled, he suddenly heard a calm voice behind him.
"Are you looking for me?"
Han Li turned around suddenly and saw Fang Wujiu appearing behind him at some point.
It was a hot day, but Fang Wujiu was wrapped up tightly, leaving only his face exposed.
As soon as Han Li saw him, he immediately drew his sword and rushed towards him!
Fang Wujiu did not dodge or evade. Instead, he swung his gloved right hand violently and sprinkled a handful of white medicine powder.
Han Li immediately covered his mouth and nose and quickly stepped back.
His reaction was so quick that he hardly inhaled the white powder.
But he underestimated the toxicity of the white powder.
The back of his hand became itchy and painful immediately after just some powder touched it, and his eyes also began to feel burning and painful because a little powder flew in.
He subconsciously wanted to rub his eyes, but ended up rubbing the powder on his hands into them, making his eyes hurt even more.
He couldn't help but let out a scream of pain, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
Fang Wujiu slowly took out a mask from his arms and put it on his face.
He picked up the knife that Han Li had thrown to the ground.
He walked towards Han Li step by step.
There was still a lot of white powder floating in the air, but because Fang Wujiu was wrapped tightly, the powder did not hinder him.
He walked up to Han Li leisurely.
Han Li couldn't see with his eyes, but he could hear footsteps. He hurriedly stepped back, trying to distance himself from the other party.
The back of his hand had been burned by the powder and was bloody. His eyes were red and swollen, with blood oozing from the corners of his eyes.
The identities of both parties have been completely reversed.
Han Li, who was supposed to be a hunter, has now become a prey forced into a desperate situation.
Fang Wujiu suddenly transformed himself from a prey into a real hunter.
Han Li waved his hands wildly in the air and roared.
"You actually noticed me a long time ago, right? You pretended not to notice me so that I would let my guard down. You are so insidious!"
Fang Wujiu's face was hidden behind the mask, and no one could see his expression at this moment.
He looked at the prey in front of him that was already at the end of its rope, and his tone was still as calm and steady as ever.
"Did King Xiling ask you to kill me?"
Before Han Li could speak, Fang Wujiu added another sentence.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter whether it happens or not. My mission has already failed anyway."
"You still have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't said that the prince cannot be killed, the prince would have killed him long ago. Without the prince getting in the way, the coup will surely succeed!" Han Li stalled for time with him while moving towards the door.
"I underestimated the prince, so I failed in my mission. I have paid the price for my underestimation, and you will also pay the price for your underestimation."
After Fang Wujiu finished speaking, he stabbed Han Li’s heart with a knife!
