Chapter 288 What happened?
Chapter 288 What happened?
"what!"
The leading cavalryman screamed in pain, and he couldn't hold the sword in his hand steadily, and it fell directly to the ground.
Lin Congyun seized the opportunity and pulled out the whip in his hand like lightning. With a crisp "snap" sound, the leading cavalryman was directly whipped away.
The leading cavalryman drew a long arc in the air like a kite with a broken string, then fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body instantly became listless.
The other cavalrymen were horrified upon seeing this. They had never imagined that the Second Prince's strength was so terrifying.
The old man not far away saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but Lin Congyun had already seen it and whipped him away.
The old man staggered and was almost hit by Lin Congyun's whip. He looked back in horror, only to see Lin Congyun's eyes were as cold as ice, and he chased after him without any hesitation.
The old man knew that he could not escape today, so he just gave it a try, took out a hidden weapon from his sleeve, and threw it at Lin Congyun regardless of the consequences.
Lin Congyun stretched out his body and easily avoided the hidden weapons that were flashing with cold light, like a fish avoiding the waves. At the same time, he shook his wrist and the soft whip came out like a snake out of a cave, instantly wrapping around the old man's ankle. With a strong pull, the old man lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
"Humph, you think you can show off your mere tricks in front of me?" Lin Congyun smiled coldly and took a few steps forward. "Tell me, who sent you here?"
"Hmph, I'm just doing this for money, why bother asking so many questions?" The old man gritted his teeth and tried to delay time with words.
Lin Congyun curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, and suddenly tightened the whip. The old man cried out in pain, and his ankle was already bruised.
The old man's face was pale, with cold sweat on his forehead, but he still looked like he would rather die than surrender, and his eyes were flashing with determination and cruelty.
Seeing this, Lin Congyun's eyes became even colder. She slowly squatted down, looked at the old man at eye level, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Do you think that if you don't tell me, I can't do anything? Don't forget, this is a battlefield, and life and death are only a matter of a moment. If you want to die quickly, you'd better be sensible."
When the old man heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed across his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by determination. He clenched his teeth and kept silent.
Lin Congyun sighed softly, as if she was helpless about the old man's stubbornness, but she did not give up. Instead, she took out a small silver needle from her bosom and shook it in front of the old man's eyes. Her tone was full of unquestionable majesty: "This silver needle is coated with a special poison that can make people reveal all their secrets in extreme pain. If you don't want to try it, then tell me who is behind this."
The old man's pupils suddenly shrank, obviously he had heard about the power of the silver needle. His lips trembled, but he still refused to let go.
Seeing this, Lin Congyun no longer hesitated, and with a slight movement of his wrist, the silver needle accurately pierced an acupuncture point on the old man's arm. The old man immediately let out a shrill scream, and his whole body trembled violently, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his flesh and blood.
"Say it or not?" Lin Congyun's voice was as cold as ice, making people shudder.
The old man finally broke down. Tears streamed down his cheeks, and he shouted hoarsely, "It's...it's...it's the Third Prince! He...he was afraid that the Second Prince's power would grow and threaten his position, so...so..."
"So what?"
"so……"
As soon as these two words came out of the old man's mouth, a sound of breaking air was heard in the air.
The leading cavalryman endured the pain, clenched his hands, and suddenly threw out two hidden weapons that flashed with cold light from his sleeves. His movements were so fast that they were like meteors across the night sky.
The first hidden weapon, with a sound of breaking through the air, went straight towards the old man.
The old man was already injured and had also inhaled a drug. He was frightened by the sudden attack and his face turned pale. He wanted to dodge but was unable to do so.
The hidden weapon hit the old man right between his eyebrows. Before he could even scream, he gasped and fell backwards staggeringly.
The second hidden weapon was shot at Lin Congyun.
Lin Congyun's eyes flashed, but her body moved lightly like willow catkins in the wind, and the hidden weapon brushed past the corner of her clothes, leaving only a faint silver light.
Then, she swung her hand back, and the whip in her hand sprang out like a venomous snake and directly wrapped around his neck.
"what……"
He fell to the ground without even being able to utter a full scream.
"Second Prince, are you okay?" At this time, Feng Lieyang also ran over. Seeing the scene in front of him, he was also shocked.
"I'm fine." Lin Congyun's face looked very ugly. "See if there are any survivors."
"Yes." Feng Lieyang started checking immediately.
Unfortunately, there were no survivors.
These people were all death warriors, with poison hidden in their mouths. After the mission failed, they immediately committed suicide by taking poison.
"Second Prince, what should we do with these corpses?" Feng Lieyang asked.
"Search him first to see if there are any clues, then throw him over to the tomb and burn them together." Lin Congyun said thoughtfully.
"Yes." Feng Lieyang immediately led the remaining guards to take action.
-------------------------------------
At the same time, the Third Prince's Mansion also received the news.
"Third Prince, something bad has happened at the villa!"
The Third Prince's expression changed. "What happened?"
"There was a sudden fire at the villa. The cavalry leader got the news and led his men to investigate..."
When the guard said this, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
"Why are you hesitating? Speak now!" the third prince shouted sternly.
The guard was startled and said quickly: "They were all killed too!"
Bang!
The teacup in the third prince's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
"What did you say? Say it again!" The third prince's face turned pale and he spoke word by word.
The guard gritted his teeth and repeated what he had just said.
"Bastard!"
The third prince flew into a rage and kicked the guard away.
"Come on, follow me to the villa!"
The third prince and his men hurried to the villa, and all they saw was a ruin, with the entrance to the tomb still burning.
"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!"
The third prince shouted loudly, with a tremor in his voice.
The guards quickly fetched water to put out the fire. After a long time, they finally put out the fire at the entrance of the tomb.
At this moment, the entrance of the tomb was burned black, and it was emitting thick smoke and heat.
However, you can vaguely see the entrance that is sealed tightly with rubble.
"Move all these stones away!" said the third prince gritting his teeth.
The guards rushed forward to move the stones, but soon they discovered something was wrong. There were...
The Third Prince looked at the scene in front of him and was furious. "Who did this? How dare they be so bold!"
