The eyes of these men in black all focused on Ziyun. In their opinion, this little girl should be as good as Zhao Rui, otherwise how could the drug be useless?
The panic in the eyes of this group of people was even worse. One Zhao Rui was enough for them, and now a similarly skilled master came out.
The leading man in black couldn't hold himself any longer and knelt directly on the ground.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, we are here under orders, it is none of our business!"
Zhao Ruike didn't care, he grabbed a handful of stones from the ground and threw them out. The knees of all the men in black, including the old housekeeper, were instantly pierced and they fell limply to the ground.
Then he walked up to Princess Yaoyue in front of them, stretched out his finger and touched her forehead.
In less than a moment, a burst of white smoke appeared from Princess Yaoyue's body, and she immediately woke up.
Zhao Rui's medical skills were already very good, and with the addition of three hundred years of internal strength, he could force out the poisonous smoke along the meridians of Palace Master Yao Yue with just a slight push.
As soon as she woke up, Princess Yaoyue was shocked by the scene in front of her.
"What's going on? Who are they?"
Zhao Rui found a token from a corpse, which seemed to belong to Ma Liangcai, the Prime Minister of Chen and Song Dynasties.
"Of course they are the ones who came to kill you! Your Highness the Princess was so careless that she didn't realize that the old housekeeper beside her was also sent here by someone else!"
Princess Yao Yue's dark jade-like eyes trembled slightly, staring intently at the old housekeeper who was lying beside him, wailing.
"This is impossible. This old housekeeper followed me out of the palace. He has been in the princess's house as long as I can remember. How could he be a spy sent by the enemy?"
Zhao Rui's body shook violently. It seemed that someone had already coveted the entire Lu Zhou many years ago.
He walked directly to the old butler, pulled out a long knife and put it on the other man's neck.
"You'd better tell me everything, or you'll die here!"
The old housekeeper swallowed his saliva. Zhao Rui's skill just now had already shocked him. It was easy to kill him just by reaching out like this.
When the knife was placed on his neck, he felt a thousand pounds of weight and his whole body couldn't help but sink.
"I was sent to Jiujiang King City thirty years ago. There were many people who were sent here with me, but we couldn't easily contact each other! But as far as I know, there seem to be people like me every year
I really don’t know how many people were sent here.”
"Who sent you here?" Zhao Rui's voice was cold to the bone, and the domineering air coming from it made the old housekeeper's body tremble.
"It's Ma Xiang, Chen Song's Ma Xiang!"
Zhao Rui glanced at the old housekeeper coldly, and then walked towards the bodies of the men in black. Sure enough, everyone had the same badge. It seemed that they were all sent here by Ma Liangcai.
"This old boy is really scheming. He has been planning for so many years to annex Lu Zhou."
Princess Yaoyue couldn't sit still anymore, so she forced herself up, and with her still weak body, she rushed to the old housekeeper and slapped her hard.
"You old servant, don't I treat you badly? Why do I do this?"
The old housekeeper didn't know what to say. He had indeed been kind to him by inviting the princess over the years, but his family was in Ma Liangcai's hands. If he didn't obey, everyone in his family might be killed.
"Princess, now is not the time to say these words!" Zhao Rui sheathed the sword: "I just want to know if the secret road map of Jiujiang Palace is on you?"
