"good."
As Xiao Yanchu was helping Su Ruojin walk out, they encountered Fei Molong, who had rushed back.
A look of surprise flashed across Femoron's eyes again. Chen Fu had assured him that everything would be foolproof.
Where exactly did things go wrong?
But now that Chen Fu is dead, he has nowhere to ask.
A surge of anger welled up within Fei Molong, and he was somewhat exasperated. "Xiao Yanchu, you killed my men, and you think you can just leave?"
He had been relieved that Xiao Yanchu hadn't caused any trouble tonight, only sitting and drinking, which made it easier for his men to take action against Su Ruojin.
Looking back now, I realize that Xiao Yanchu was unusually quiet, not like him at all.
Xiao Yanchu glanced at Fei Molong, then looked at Su Ruojin, "It seems someone from the Valiant Prince's Mansion has died."
Su Ruojin replied with a smile, "So, since the Valiant King can't catch anyone, he's going to blame it on us?"
The two of them sang in unison, completely disregarding Femoron.
"Xiao Yanchu!" Fei Molong drew his sword in anger.
At this moment, everyone else in the room saw their prince draw his sword, smashed their bowls, and all drew their own swords, glaring angrily at Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin.
Hu Qing immediately drew his sword and attacked.
Xiao Yanchu remained unfazed. "Warrior King, you're saying I killed your men? I've been drinking with you in this room all night. I'm sure everyone here saw it, unless they're blind."
"In that case, I humbly request that you, Valiant King, tell me how I can commit murder without anyone watching? Moreover, I still don't know who has died in your household."
Femoron was speechless for a moment, then a general shouted, "You can have your men do it."
Xiao Yanchu glanced at the person who spoke and sneered, "This is in Bei Li, not Da Chu. So you're saying that my men can openly kill people at will in the Xiaoyong Prince's mansion in Bei Li? I wonder if this general thinks too highly of me or looks down on your Xiaoyong Prince?"
The general was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, this is our own territory. It's shameful to let outsiders kill someone from our own household.
Su Ruojin spoke up, "The Valiant King keeps saying that we killed people, so please tell us, who exactly did we kill? Even if you want us dead, you should at least let us die knowing why."
Su Ruojin's words were tantamount to saying that Fei Molong deliberately framed them. They didn't even know who was dead, so how could they kill anyone?
Femoron had suspected that Su Ruojin was behind it, but his men were always watching Su Ruojin's room, and they would know even if a fly flew in or out.
All night long, Su Ruojin didn't come out of her room after entering it. During that time, only their people brought her food, and someone was watching her the whole time, so there was no way anything could go wrong.
But Fei Molong felt that Chen Fu's death was inextricably linked to Xiao Yanchu and his group.
Since joining his cause, Chen Fu had lived a secluded life in his residence, rarely venturing out, let alone offending anyone.
Feimolong had investigated Chen Fu, so he naturally knew his background.
Therefore, looking at the entire Northern Li, apart from Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin, no one could possibly have a grudge against Chen Fu.
But there is indeed no evidence at present.
Looking at Fei Molong, who was speechless for a moment, Xiao Yanchu said to the guards outside, "Go back and tell the king that the Valiant King won't let us leave."
The guards outside were the same ones Wanyan Da had sent to follow them.
Seeing this scene, they looked troubled. Finally, one of them gritted his teeth and stepped forward to whisper to Feimoron, "Your Highness, we have been following them all night and have not found anything wrong. If this matter is brought to the King's attention, Your Highness will probably have a hard time explaining it."
"Why don't you let us take them back to the palace first, Your Highness? They're all already there; they can't escape."
