With the Zangxiang Tower as the center, screams and exclamations quickly spread through the night, and within a short while, the entire Daqian capital exploded.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see teams of government officials and teams of city patrol guards rushing towards the Zangxiang Tower from all directions.
Large numbers of sergeants were also gathering in the four school grounds in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
Many of them didn't know what happened yet, but based on intuition, many people guessed that something big must have happened tonight.
The second floor of an inn.
Hearing the noise outside, Yang Jue, who was drinking alone, opened the window, glanced at the armed patrol guards on the street, and asked with confusion: "What happened?"
Lu Mansion.
A housekeeper hurriedly came outside Lawrence Lu's room and shouted: "Third Young Master, something big has happened!"
Lawrence Lu, who was full of decadence, opened the door: "What's wrong?"
The butler stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
Lawrence Lu was immediately shocked: "What!?"
Dragon Temple.
Looking at the brightly lit Tibetan Incense Tower in the distance, Zhu Youyou, an old temple man, sighed: "You are young and energetic after all!"
Cheng Hu, who was standing aside, also looked at the Tibetan Incense Tower with a longing expression: "I'm not as good as him."
On the eaves of a tall building.
Xia Ying, who was twisting the wine bottle and smelling of alcohol, murmured to herself: "Today is the day of his wedding to the princess, how could he..."
There is no doubt that because there were too many witnesses when Chu Fan assassinated Prince Rui, the news spread extremely quickly, and many dignitaries learned of the incident immediately.
In Daqian, members of the royal family were assassinated, which is a strange event that can hardly be found several times in history books.
Not to mention that the Crown Prince Rui who was assassinated this time has been confirmed to be adopted into the name of the emperor and will be named the Crown Prince of Daqian next month.
Therefore, Prince Rui is not only a member of the royal family, but also the quasi-heir to the throne of Daegan.
It was undoubtedly the first time in the history of Daqian that such a noble figure was assassinated, so no matter who it was, they were shocked from the bottom of their hearts when they heard the news!
Prince Rui's Mansion.
Wow...
Valuable ceramics, famous paperweights, jade brushes, everything on the table were overturned to the ground by the furious King Rui.
The surrounding attendants were silent, with their heads lowered, fearfully avoiding the sight of King Rui.
"How dare that little beast!"
King Rui was furious and his beard was growing, and his expression was ferocious.
At this time, a palace steward hurriedly entered the study and reported: "Your Majesty, the city gate has been closed, and Long Xiang's army is searching everywhere!"
"You haven't caught it yet?" King Rui picked up an exquisite vase and smashed it out, shouting: "Trash! A bunch of trash!"
Another palace steward in the room wiped the sweat from his forehead: "My lord, don't worry! He won't be able to escape this time!"
King Rui gasped and ordered: "Did the guards who escaped back check clearly? When that little beast made a move, Panlongbi really didn't react at all?"
"yes!"
One of the attendants nodded.
King Rui didn't even think about it, and immediately ordered: "Those fools who failed to protect my son should die. Go and chop them all down!"
The attendant nodded quickly, turned around and left the study.
King Rui then sat down and whispered: "How could your Majesty hold a ceremony for that little beast so quickly? This is ridiculous!"
Immediately, King Rui raised his head and glanced at everyone in the room: "Where is your Majesty?"
A palace steward replied: "I heard that His Majesty was already drunk at nightfall."
King Rui rubbed his temples: "Where do you think that little beast will escape?"
"The city gate was closed before nightfall, and now there are Longxiang troops stationed there. He can't escape from the city!"
"He can hide in every neighborhood for a while, but not forever!"
"Could he have hid back to the princess' mansion first?"
Several palace stewards discussed it.
King Rui said with a sullen face: "What arrangements do you have at the Princess Mansion?"
The steward quickly replied: "If you commit a crime worth less than ten thousand kilograms and assassinate the prince, even the princess can't protect him. Don't worry, prince, we have surrounded the princess's palace. If he hides inside, he will never escape. If he
If you haven’t hid in it, there’s no way you can hide in it again!”
King Rui waved his hand arrogantly: "I don't care how you arrange it. Before dawn, the head of that little beast must be placed in front of me, otherwise, you will all commit suicide!"
No one dared to disobey the furious King Rui, so they all had to say yes.
Soon, one guard after another sent back the news.
A large number of royal guards and patrol guards searched the city, almost street by street, but they searched most of the capital, but no trace of Chu Fan was found.
After killing Prince Rui, Chu Fan seemed to disappear out of thin air.
King Rui's face became increasingly gloomy, and he sat there like a hungry beast eating people.
"Where did that Niu Wanjin hide?"
"With this city full of arrests, where can he hide?"
"Is it really in the princess's mansion!"
"You shouldn't be hiding in the palace, right?"
All the stewards in the palace were also running around anxiously at this moment.
King Rui couldn't bear it anymore and walked out of the study with his knife drawn.
A large number of stewards and attendants quickly followed and asked: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
King Rui, who had already walked into the courtyard, said angrily: "That little beast must be hiding in the princess's mansion. I will go and find him out personally!"
A guard hurried over and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from the princess's mansion that Niu Wanjin is not in the princess's mansion!"
King Rui shouted: "Then where else can he hide?"
"Oh..."
Suddenly, a chuckle came from the courtyard.
Everyone followed the laughter and saw a figure holding a long knife walking out of the shadows of the courtyard.
After seeing the person clearly, everyone was shocked.
The person who appeared in front of them with a knife was none other than Chu Fan, whom they had been arresting all over the city. However, they never expected that Chu Fan not only did not hide, but came directly to kill him.
King Rui was also stunned, and then gritted his teeth: "How dare you come here?"
Chu Fan kept walking and said calmly: "He said you would avenge him."
King Rui pointed at Chu Fan with his sword: "Little beast, you are throwing yourself into a trap. You killed my son. Do you think Panlongbi will continue to protect you? Today I will cut you into pieces.
Vent your hatred!"
Knowing that Chu Fan had lost the protection of Panlongbi, the palace guards in the courtyard drew their swords and surrounded him.
In their opinion, the situation is very clear. Chu Fan does not have the protection of Panlongbi. No matter how powerful he is, there is only one person. However, King Rui has the protection of Panlongbi. There is no need to worry about his safety. So as long as they kill Chu Fan with all their strength, they will have merit.
No fault.
At this moment, Chu Fan lunged forward, broke through the siege of the palace guards, and slashed at King Rui with one knife.
In an instant, a golden dragon shadow fell from the sky, covering King Rui just like it had covered Chu Fan in the Hidden Incense Tower.
Whoa...
A ray of mirror light suddenly flashed across, and just as the dragon's shadow was about to cover King Rui, it barely intercepted the dragon's shadow in mid-air.
Chu Fan looked like a ghost. Taking advantage of the moment when the dragon's shadow was intercepted by the mirror light, he slashed King Rui with a knife. In King Rui's frightened eyes, he said: "It's a pity that you can't get revenge!"
