Chapter 40 Infiltrate the palace to kill the prince
Qin Zhan was just stunned for a moment, and then said: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I only found out today."
"That's right!"
Lan Xiuyuan said nothing more, and the two of them just walked towards the outer courtyard.
Qin Zhan looked at Lan Xiuyuan carefully and remembered what Meng Zhang said in his mind.
"Your Highness, I have something to say. I wonder whether I should say it or not?" Qin Zhan decided to trick the other party's words first and wait for an opportunity.
Lan Xiuyuan smiled slightly: "Master Zhao, please tell me."
"Does His Highness the Third Prince have any grudge against Prince Wu's Mansion?" As soon as Qin Zhan said these words, Lan Xiuyuan's face condensed, and there was something strange in his eyes.
"What do you mean, Master Zhao? Do you want to drive a wedge between the royal family and Prince Wu's Mansion?" Lan Xiuyuan's face looked a little ugly.
"I don't dare, but since His Highness the Third Prince has no grudge against Prince Wu's Mansion, why did he send people to intercept and kill the Crown Prince of Prince Wu's Mansion?" Qin Zhan went straight in, and with one sentence, Lan Xiuyuan's face suddenly darkened.
"What did you say?" Lan Xiuyuan's face was instantly filled with murderous intent, and he stared at Zhao Ritian.
"I asked you why you cooperated with the bandits and sent people to intercept and kill the prince of Prince Wu's palace." Qin Zhan said word by word.
Qin Zhan's words made the atmosphere tense instantly.
Lan Xiuyuan stared at Qin Zhan, his eyes flashing with strong murderous intent.
"Mr. Zhao, do you know what you are talking about?" Lan Xiuyuan said coldly.
Your prime minister's grandson dares to question the prince face to face. Isn't this looking for death?
Besides, the Prime Minister's Palace and Prince Wu's Palace have always been sworn enemies. You, Zhao Ritian and Qin Zhan, have been fighting since childhood. What do you mean by asking this question?
Do you want to use this as a lever to hold this prince hostage?
"I know what I'm talking about." Qin Zhan continued: "I just want to confirm."
"Zhao Ritian, are you looking for death?"
Lan Xiuyuan was completely murderous.
"I don't dare, I'm just curious." Seeing Lan Xiuyuan's reaction, Qin Zhan had already made up his mind.
There is indeed some connection between Lan Xiuyuan and Meng Zhang.
Although Lan Xiuyuan didn't know what Zhao Ritian meant when he suddenly said this, he knew that his secret had been leaked.
Thinking of this, Lan Xiuyuan moved his fingers slightly, and several figures suddenly appeared around him.
These people are all his personal guards, and they are highly cultivated.
"What are you doing, Your Highness? Killing people and silencing them?" Qin Zhan didn't show any fear on his face.
Lan Xiuyuan said coldly: "Zhao Ritian, you are seeking death yourself, don't blame me, take action."
Whoosh!
As soon as Lan Xiuyuan finished speaking, four killers attacked at the same time.
The target is Qin Zhan!
But how did they know that the Zhao Ritian in front of them was completely fake.
These four killers are all in the Xiantian realm, blocking all Qin Zhan's escape routes and striving to kill him with one blow.
Faced with the sudden attack, Qin Zhan did not dodge and directly chose to fight head-on.
Now, his cultivation has reached the advanced stage of Xiantian, and his physical strength is enough to overwhelm all enemies in the same realm.
He can even kill Meng Zhang in the Mountain and Sea realm, let alone the four innate realms.
Under Lan Xiuyuan's shocked eyes, Qin Zhan only used four moves to kill all four of his personal guards.
When Lan Xiuyuan saw this, his expression changed again and again: "You..."
As the third prince, he knows the princes of the imperial family very well.
Everyone knows that Zhao Ritian of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a dandy.
But today, Zhao Ritian is completely different.
I always felt that something was wrong with Zhao Ritian.
Now seeing how brave "Zhao Ritian" was, Lan Xiuyuan suddenly reacted: "You... you are not Zhao Ritian."
Qin Zhan smiled sternly: "I am indeed not Zhao Ritian."
"Who are you?" Lan Xiuyuan asked.
"The person who killed you."
After saying that, Qin Zhan punched directly.
Lan Xiuyuan's face darkened, and he quickly dodged, trying to fight Qin Zhan.
This Lan Xiuyuan is also a Xiantian realm warrior. Among the many princes, he is one who endures hardships more. Otherwise, he would not have been able to cultivate to the Xiantian realm at such a young age.
But he met Qin Zhan today...
Lan Xiuyuan had no power to fight back in front of Qin Zhan.
He only needed one punch to defeat Lan Xiuyuan's defense.
boom!
This punch directly knocked Lan Xiuyuan away.
Lan Xiuyuan's body bent into the shape of a shrimp and fell heavily to the ground.
"You...poof..." Lan Xiuyuan opened his mouth and spat out a breath of blood, instantly losing his fighting power.
The sound of fighting here instantly attracted the surrounding guards.
"There are assassins." After these guards discovered it, they hurriedly attacked.
But Qin Zhan was not in a hurry. He jumped up like a roc spreading its wings and killed another guard with one impact.
Then, the other guards arrived, drew out their long knives, and chopped him down mercilessly.
But the cultivation level of these guards is too low, they are only in the spiritual realm, so they are no match for Qin Zhan.
In just a moment, they were all injured by Qin Zhan and lay on the ground screaming.
After taking care of the guards, Qin Zhan walked towards Lan Xiuyuan step by step.
Seeing Qin Zhan approaching, Lan Xiuyuan instinctively moved his body back: "You...who are you?"
Qin Zhan did not answer, but picked up a long sword on the ground and stabbed it out.
puff……
Lan Xiuyuan's shoulder blade was instantly pierced, and blood continued to flow down the wound.
Qin Zhan said coldly: "Tell me, why do you want to cooperate with the bandits to intercept and kill the prince of Prince Wu's palace?"
Lan Xiuyuan was not stupid either. When Qin Zhan asked this question again, he seemed to understand something.
"You...are you Qin Zhan?"
Qin Zhan smiled sternly: "Not too stupid."
"Bold Qin Zhan, you dare to disguise yourself as someone else and assassinate my prince. Aren't you afraid of being exterminated?" Lan Xiuyuan scolded angrily.
"Exterminate the clan?" Qin Zhan smiled disdainfully: "Just you?"
"Qin Zhan, stop immediately, I, the prince, can..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Zhan pierced Lan Xiuyuan's other shoulder blade with another sword.
Qin Zhan approached Lan Xiuyuan: "Answer my question, why did you send someone to intercept and kill me?"
Lan Xiuyuan's eyes were horrified. He didn't expect Qin Zhan to be so bold and dare to attack him, the prince, in the palace.
This is a crime of great rebellion and injustice, and it would not be an exaggeration to punish the nine clans.
But Qin Zhan still dared to do this!
Where did he get the confidence?
However, under Qin Zhan's intimidation, Lan Xiuyuan, a dignified imperial prince with both civil and military skills, had no choice but to lower his arrogant head at this moment.
He had no doubt that if he didn't say anything, Qin Zhan would slit his throat with his third sword.
This person dared to attack him, the prince, in the palace. What else could he not dare to do?
"explain……"
Qin Zhan roared again, completely breaking through Lan Xiuyuan's inner defense.
So, he had to tell his purpose.
After listening to Lan Xiuyuan's words, Qin Zhan was furious.
The reason why Lan Xiuyuan asked the bandits to intercept and kill Qin Zhan was just to put the blame on the prince.
In addition to putting the prince and Prince Wu's palace in complete opposition, more importantly, it is necessary to let the world know that the dignified prince of the empire actually colluded with the bandits.
In this way, Lan Xiutu's position as prince will definitely be shaken, and he will have the opportunity to ascend to the throne of prince.
It is said that the royal family has no family ties, and when I saw them today, it was indeed true.
"Master Qin, this prince was instigated by a villain for a moment and has no intention of becoming your enemy." Lan Xiuyuan had to lower his posture at this moment in order to save his life.
"Lan Xiuyuan, the fighting within your royal family is your business. I, Prince Wu, have no interest in participating, but you dare to let people intercept and kill me..."
Speaking of this, Qin Zhan's eyes flashed with crazy light.
Qin Zhan took action to kill.
Lan Xiuyuan also felt a strong murderous aura locked on him.
Qin Zhan wants to kill him!
Thinking of this, Lan Xiuyuan hurriedly said: "Master Qin, as long as you let me go this time, I promise that I will not deal with you again, and I will ensure that you will be rich and noble throughout your life, and you will be promoted to a higher position."
"A lifetime of wealth? A promotion to an official position?"
Qin Zhan sneered disdainfully: "Do you think I care about these bullshit?"
"Then what do you want?"
"What do you think..."
Whoosh!
As soon as Qin Zhan finished speaking, he raised the knife and instantly cut Lan Xiuyuan's throat.
Lan Xiuyuan wanted to open his mouth to speak, but found that he couldn't make any sound at all?
Tsk tsk...
Suddenly, blood spurted out from his throat, and Lan Xiuyuan tightly covered his throat with both hands.
"help me……"
Lan Xiuyuan never thought that he would die in such a painful way.
