After the guard saw off the seventh prince, he brought back the news: "Your Majesty, Wu Sunang has escaped as expected."

Si Moli nodded, and while opening the scroll of the map, he asked: "But he has been forced to go on the planned route."

"Yes, Your Majesty, everything is under control." The guard whispered back.

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

The guard nodded and flew away.

At this moment, Wusun'ang was rushing towards the place pointed out by Si Moli. He was proud of himself, thinking that King Li was nothing more than that and had not allowed him to escape all the way.

Ever since he caught Jiang Miaodan secretly adding salt, he had been feeling very uneasy, and for some reason, he always felt like someone was secretly observing him in the dark, as if waiting for an opportunity to kill him.

Wusunang thought about it and felt that that idiot Jiang Miaodan must have evil intentions, and the people she brought must not be safe, so he went directly to Jiang Miaodan's room that night, pressed her against the bed, and threatened her: "If you don't do it again,

To be honest, I will just leave you to a few of my guards and let them do whatever they want. Anyway, just keep your life and come back with me to get married."

Jiang Miaodan was so frightened that he trembled all over: "I am your princess after all, don't you care about my innocence?"

"Tsk, what's the use of your innocence?" Wusun'ang sneered and pulled off her clothes, looking at her with disgust: "I don't even have the slightest interest in you looking like this. If you don't say anything, I will now

I’ll just strip you naked and throw you out!”

"I said, I said." Jiang Miaodan was in tears, 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 don't know anything. Please let me go."

Bar."

Wusun'ang frowned, and became even more disgusted when he saw her nose was covered in snot, so he just walked away from her.

Sure enough, King Li was behind it.

After confirming this, the next day, he pretended to be cold, asked a guard to pretend that he had been staying in the carriage all day, and secretly ordered others to help him cover up, so that people would misunderstand that he was still in the team.

And he himself took three of his confidants and took a detour from another road.

It went very well at first, so he relaxed his guard a little, but soon he encountered the first batch of assassins. Although he managed to escape, he lost one of his guards. Later on, he became more careful on the road and successfully avoided another assassination.

.

"Eldest Prince, Pingde County is ahead of us. If we go around two mountains and take the shortcut here, we should be able to return to Northern Li Kingdom in about the same time as the envoys." The guard analyzed with the map.

"Very good." Wu Sunang was somewhat proud: "I will reward you when you return to Beili Kingdom."

"This is what a humble job should do."

With the remaining two people, Wu Sunang successfully passed through the county town. The dilapidated house on the mountain where he slept directly at night was probably a temporary resting place for hunters.

A few of them lit a fire and took turns keeping watch, but everything was peaceful all night long.

In the early morning, when the sun was about to come out and it was the coldest time, the guard threw a piece of firewood into the fire. Looking at the burning flames, he thought that when he returned to Northern Li Kingdom, he would be rewarded by the eldest prince.

A beautiful maid is comfortable when hugged by a warm quilt.

With a hiss, an arrow shot out from the darkness and hit his shoulder.

"Ah! There is an assassin!" The guard stood up, covering his shoulders. Wu Sunang and another guard also woke up suddenly. The three of them turned their backs and looked around warily.

More arrows were shot out, and some of them tore up wooden boards and hid behind them, secretly looking for a breakthrough.

Several masked men wearing night clothes appeared in the woods. They stabbed them directly with swords. Different from the previous two times, this time the killer's skills were particularly good. The two guards were stabbed by the swords at once, and blood spilled all over.

land.

"First Prince, run!" one of them shouted, and the next second, the sword pierced his heart, his eyes widened, and he fell down.

Upon seeing this, Wusunang stopped fighting and ran directly towards the depths of the woods.

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

But here, Wu Sunang had just run out not far when he was overtaken by others and surrounded.

He shouted: "Who are you? Are you sent by King Li? I am the eldest prince of the Northern Li Kingdom. If you kill me, aren't you afraid that the Northern Li Kingdom will fight again?"

However, these people didn't even say a word to Wusun Angduo, they just picked up their swords and stabbed him.

Although Wusun'ang's martial arts was pretty good, he had already injured his arm just now, and it was difficult for him to fight with four hands with one punch. Soon a sword slipped through his neck, and blood suddenly spurted out.

He covered his neck, knelt on the ground, and looked at the masked men in front of him with hatred. He wanted to say something, but he could no longer speak.

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

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

After checking the corpse, the county government office found the token on Wusunang's body and some other things on the bodyguard, and immediately shouted something bad.

The news was spread all the way back to Kyoto. The eldest prince of Northern Li Kingdom died outside Pingde County.

The emperor was shocked at first, and then immediately realized something was wrong: "Logically speaking, their route should not pass through Pingde County. Check it, check it carefully!"

In order to find out the truth of the matter, the members of the envoy were intercepted and returned to Kyoto.

Jiang Miaodan naturally came back with her. She didn't expect to be able to return to Kyoto and hide in the Marquis's mansion without being called out.

"I don't know why. The eldest prince has always suspected that someone in the team would plot against him, so he deliberately planned to leave. How could he have thought that he would die on the road like this." The faces of the envoys were pale. The eldest prince was dead, and they returned

I'm afraid it won't end well in Northern Li Country either.

"You must give us an explanation. How could the eldest prince die because of his great martial arts skills?" someone shouted, trying to shirk responsibility.

The emperor sneered: "We have arranged guards to protect you along the way. Will anything happen if you stay well? It was your eldest prince who insisted on leaving the team and covered up the traces. It was self-defeating. Now that something happened to you, who can blame you?"

The members of the envoy group looked at each other, and then said: "But who killed the man? We must give us an explanation at least. At least we must catch the murderer. Could it be that people were killed for no reason."
