If someone else said Xie Yuanlong wouldn't live past tonight, he might not believe it. After all, the other party was a commander of the Imperial Guards, and who would dare to touch him easily?
But since Li Zhu said it, he believed it 80% of the time…
"Your Highness, please come with me..."
Ma Zi ultimately chose to believe Li Zhu and led him straight to the military camp…
The main tent was brightly lit, and the sounds of drinking mingled with the sweet laughter of women. The military camp, such a solemn place, had actually turned into a brothel, which made Li Zhu very angry. If such a reputation were to spread, the new Tang Dynasty would lose all face!
Li Zhu lifted the curtain of the large tent and went inside. Xie Yuanlong sat at the head of the table, and besides the centurion, some Jie people were drinking with him...
The moment Li Zhu saw the Jie people, he knew why he couldn't find them even after searching the entire city of Luoyang. They were hiding in the military camp; how could they possibly be found?
At this moment, Xiao Liu was kneeling on the ground, his face as pale as paper, and his breath had become extremely weak. He was clearly not far from death...
The moment Li Zhu lifted the curtain, Xie Yuanlong stood up, glaring angrily at Li Zhu…
Xie Yuanlong glared at Li Zhu and questioned him.
"Your Highness, I won't even mention your intrusion into the military camp at night, but isn't it a bit excessive to cut off the hand of one of my soldiers without even asking what happened?"
Xie Yuanlong first turned the tables, arguing that most of the Jie people weren't here, and those remaining were unimportant. Even if there was an investigation, he could use the excuse that these Jie people were just a caravan to exonerate himself!
"Xie Yuanlong, you still know I am the Crown Prince, how dare you speak to me like that?"
Li Zhu stared at him coldly. If the Marquis were here, he would really like the Marquis to slap him and humiliate him first!
"Your Highness, let me choose him..."
Seeing Li Zhu's anger, Wang Yanzhang walked out with a gun in his hand and gestured in the air, as if he wanted to poke two holes in Xie Yuanlong!
"Calm down. What kind of behavior is this, fighting and killing? I'm an upright and innocent person. We should resolve this through proper means..."
Li Zhu said with a smile!
"Follow the rules? Your Highness, what are you joking about? The Imperial Guards are the Emperor's personal troops, and no one is allowed to interfere in their affairs, not even you, the Crown Prince. Your intrusion into the military camp at night is already a serious crime. Does Your Highness want to lock yourself up in the Imperial Prison?"
Xie Yuanlong said with a sneer that the moment Li Zhu barged into his tent, the two of them had essentially broken off all pretense of civility, so Xie Yuanlong had absolutely no respect for Li Zhu!
"Guards, seize these uninvited guests!"
Xie Yuanlong immediately ordered Li Zhu to be arrested. He didn't care whether Li Zhu was the Crown Prince or not. Even if the matter went to the Emperor, he would still be in the right!
Upon hearing Xie Yuanlong's order, dozens of axemen rushed in, all wielding sharp blades and exuding murderous intent. They had clearly been preparing there for some time, which made Li Zhu realize that this was a trap. And it all started with that mysterious black-clad assassin infiltrating the Eastern Palace!
"Brother Zhuzhu, I'm so scared..."
Yuwen Yingying was startled by the sudden appearance of dozens of burly men. Unlike Wang Riqing, who practiced martial arts, she was naturally much less daring. Even in this chaotic world, this was the first time she had ever seen so many vicious men wielding sharp weapons. Terrified, she grabbed Li Zhu's arm and pitifully said...
Everyone inside the tent stopped and stared at Yuwen Yingying after hearing that sentence. Several people even had nosebleeds...
"Brother Zhuzhu, they're naughty, staring at me like that, waah..."
Terrified, Yuwen Yingying actually started sobbing…
If the men in the tent didn't react the first time, the second sound was like a nuclear bomb exploding directly in their minds...
They couldn't believe that there were people in the world who could speak so sweetly. It was as if a new world had opened up for them, and their longing for Yuwen Yingying reached its peak!
"Your Highness, leave the woman behind you, and we'll let you go today..."
Xie Yuanlong, exuding an air of complete control, spoke with great authority!
"General Xie, you mustn't! Our goal is to capture the Crown Prince. How can we abandon our objective for two women?"
The Jie people immediately jumped out to stop them, saying!
"This is my territory. I decide what I do, and it's none of your business to tell me what to do. I'm going to have this woman..."
Xie Yuanlong fiercely rebuked the Jie people, forcing them to shut up!
Hearing Xie Yuanlong's audacious words, Li Zhu's face darkened. He could tolerate Xie Yuanlong making advances towards him, but he couldn't tolerate the other party daring to make a move on his whiny self...
"I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you. I'd like to see why you won't let me go..."
Li Zhu looked at Xie Yuanlong with icy eyes and said!
"Stubborn fool, I'll arrest you. The woman behind you is mine too. Get her... hahaha..."
After Xie Yuanlong finished speaking, he burst into laughter, already considering the three women behind Li Zhu as his own!
"You truly deserve to die. I have no qualms about killing you this time..."
It can be determined from his conversation with the Jie people that Xie Yuanlong had a deal with the Jie people. Whatever the deal was, the other party was suspected of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country!
"Kill me? Think about how you're going to survive first..."
After retorting to Li Zhu, Xie Yuanlong loudly ordered the soldiers...
"Grab him!"
Xie Yuanlong didn't have the guts to kill the crown prince, so capturing him alive was his goal!
Most of the soldiers wiped the blood from their noses before rushing towards Li Zhu, but because Yuwen Yingying was beside him, they dared not use force, afraid of hurting her…
"What are you doing? Haven't you eaten?"
Seeing his own people not putting in any effort, Xie Yuanlong couldn't help but roar!
Li Zhu couldn't bring himself to kill them, so he mostly used the back of his blade. Wang Yanzhang could only use his spear like a club to avoid accidentally killing the soldiers...
However, both of them possessed strength exceeding a thousand pounds, and each strike would inevitably knock a soldier away, leaving him lying on the ground unable to continue fighting!
In just a few moments, all the soldiers who had entered the tent were lying on the ground, rolling around and groaning in pain…
That's it?
Li Zhu pointed at the soldier lying on the ground and looked at Xie Yuanlong with disdain. At this moment, the other party was also looking at Li Zhu with a shocked expression. It was the first time he had seen such a fierce prince. He did not understand how someone without internal strength could be so fierce.
Li Zhu just made a move using pure force, which made Xie Yuanlong subconsciously think that Li Zhu had not developed internal strength. Little did he know that Li Zhu possessed a dark power that was even more powerful than internal strength!
"you…"
Xie Yuanlong was so angry at Li Zhu's arrogant remarks that he was speechless...
