Chapter 177 The Death of Wusun Ang

After the guards sent away the seventh prince, they brought back the news: "Prince, Wusun Ang has escaped as expected."

Si Moli nodded and asked while opening the scroll of the map, "But he has already forced him to take the scheduled route."

"Yes, prince, everything is under control." The guard replied in a low voice.

"Then kill him here." Si Moli pointed out a mountain range on the map: "Remember, the body must be left behind, and it will make the noise more."

The guard nodded and flew away.

At this moment, Wusun Ang was rushing towards the place pointed out by Si Moli. He was proud and felt that King Li was just like this, so he had let him escape all the way.

Since the last time he caught Jiang Miaodan secretly putting salt, he has been very uneasy. For some reason, he always feels that someone is secretly observing him in the dark, as if he is waiting for an opportunity to kill him.

Wusun Ang thought about it and felt that Jiang Miaodan must have a strange intention, so the person she brought must be unsafe. So he went straight to Jiang Miaodan's room that night, put her on the bed, and threatened her: "If you don't tell the truth, I will throw you to the guards under you and let them deal with it at will. Anyway, I'll save my life and go back to marry me."

Jiang Miaodan was frightened by him and trembled all over: "I am your princess at least. Don't you care about my innocence?"

"Tsk, your innocence? What's the use?" Wusun Ang sneered and pulled her clothes away, and glanced at her disgust: "I don't even have any interest in this way. If you don't say anything, I will strip naked and throw you out now!"

"I said, I said." Jiang Miaodan burst into tears and was unable to resist at all: "It was King Li. King Li asked me to do this, but he didn't tell me why. I really didn't know anything. Please let me go."

Wusun Ang frowned, and when he saw her snot, he looked even more disgusted, and he threw her away.

It was indeed King Li who was making trouble behind.

Having confirmed this, the next day, he pretended to be cold and asked a guard to pretend that he was staying in the carriage all day, and secretly ordered others to cover it up, which made people misunderstand that he was still in the team.

He himself brought three confidants and took a detour from another road.

It was very smooth at the beginning, so he relaxed his vigilance, but soon he met the first batch of assassins. Although he successfully escaped, he lost a guard. Later, he became more careful on the way and successfully avoided another assassination.

"The eldest prince, Pingde County is ahead. If you go around two mountains and take the shortcut here, you should be able to return to Beili Kingdom almost as long as the envoys." The guard took the map and analyzed.

"Very good." Wusun Ang was a little proud: "I will reward you when I return to Beili Kingdom."

"This is what a humble job should do."

With the remaining two, Wusun Ang successfully passed through the county town. At night, the one who stayed in the broken house on the mountain should be a place for hunters to take a temporary rest.

Several people ignited fires and took turns to watch, but they were all at peace all night.

In the early morning, when the sun was about to come out, it was the coldest. The guard threw a piece of firewood into the fire. Looking at the burning and jumping flames, he thought that when he returned to Beili, he would definitely let the eldest prince appreciate him a beautiful maid and hugged him in a warm bed.

With a soothing sound, a feather arrow shot out from the darkness and hit his shoulder.

"Ah! There is an assassin!" The guard stood up with his shoulders covering his shoulders. Wusun Ang and another guard also woke up suddenly. The three of them looked around with their backs to their backs and vigilantly.

More feather arrows were shot out, and a few pulled the wooden board and hid behind, secretly looking for a breakthrough.

Several masked men in night clothes appeared in the woods. They stabbed them with swords directly. Unlike the two times before, this time the killer was very good. The two guards were stabbed by the sword at once and blood was spilled all over the ground.

"Big Prince, run!" One of them shouted, and the next second, the sharp sword pierced his heart, his eyes widened and fell down.

Seeing this, Wusun Ang stopped fighting and ran towards the depths of the woods.

The other man barely resisted for a while, and was stabbed to death by several swords and fell to the ground.

And here, Wusun Ang had just run away not far, but was caught up and surrounded by others.

He shouted, "Who are you? Did King Li send me? I am the eldest prince of Beili Kingdom. If you kill me, aren't you afraid that Beili Kingdom will come again?"

However, these people didn't say a word to Wusun Angduo at all, and just picked up the sword and assassinated him.

Although Wusun Ang's martial arts skills were pretty good, he had just injured his arm, and he could not beat four hands with one punch. He was soon slid through his neck with a sword, and blood suddenly gushed out.

He covered his neck and fell to the ground, looking at the masked people in front of him with hatred, wanting to say something, but he can no longer speak.

Several people looked at each other and took Wusun'ang's body from the woods to the main road leading to the county town, and placed it across the middle of the road with the bodies of the other two guards.

It was getting darker, and someone soon passed by and found the body and went to the county town to report the case.

After checking the body of the county government office, he found a token on Wusun Ang's body and found something else on the guards, and immediately exclaimed that something was wrong.

The news was spread all the way back to Kyoto, and the eldest prince of Beili Kingdom died, outside Pingde County.

The emperor was shocked at first, and then immediately discovered something was wrong: "Their route should not be passed through Pingde County. Check it out and check it carefully!"

In order to find out the truth, the people from the messenger group were intercepted and returned to Kyoto.

Jiang Miaodan naturally came back with her. She didn't expect that she could really return to Kyoto and hide in the marquis's mansion and never go out.

"I don't know why. The eldest prince has always suspected that someone in the team would plot against him, so he deliberately made a move to leave. How could he think of dying on the road like this?" The people of the envoy's group looked pale. The eldest prince died, and they might not have a good end when they returned to Beili Kingdom.

"You must give us an explanation. How could the eldest prince die if he is very skilled in martial arts!" Someone shouted, trying to shirk responsibility.

The emperor sneered: "The guards were arranged along the way. Will something happen if you stay well? It was your eldest prince who insisted on leaving the team, and he also covered up his traces and made a mistake. Now that something happened to him, who can blame him?"

The people from the messenger group looked at each other and then said, "But who killed the person? I have to give us an explanation. At least I have to catch the murderer. Could it be that someone will be killed for no reason?"
