Chapter 391
Wuma An and Che Hongliang hurriedly followed. Not long after they walked, they saw the crown prince vomiting. He wasn’t the only one as a lot of soldiers.
The people have enjoyed peace since time immemorial. Most of the soldiers have never seen such a scene in their entire life, thus resulting in them vomiting their intestines out.
After Wuma An and Che Hongliang saw it, they couldn’t help but vomit.
Looking at the entire front yard, this tragic situation is indescribable. Everyone was in pieces with not a single complete body.
The air smelled of a bloody stench. After all, some of the intestines were exposed, alongside many other body parts.
Zhu Zhengqing couldn’t take it anymore and ran outside. He unexpectedly stumbled upon something.
His face sank into a person’s belly… the problem was that the belly was split open.
“Prince!”
“Prince!”
Suddenly a group of people rushed over, and many people fell down. The blood on the ground was viscous and had a lubricating effect.
Several guards helped the unconscious prince, and hurriedly carried him to his palace and ordered an imperial doctor to diagnose him.
Che Hongliang and Wuma An calmed down and the two walked silently toward the palace.
It turns out the outside was just an appetizer. The inside was even more terrifying.
“Elder Che, Lord Hou should have died!” Wuma An said lightly, covering her nose.
Che Hongliang frowned deeply. Many people benefited from Prince Hou’s death, such as the prince’s faction, as well as his own faction.
“Report!!! We found Prince Hou’s body!!!” A soldier covered in blood ran to report. All the soldiers’ armor was stained with blood.
Che Hongliang said in a deep voice, “Bring it here!”
When they saw Hou Xuelin’s body, Wuma An and Che Hongliang were stunned.
They know the strength of Prince Hou! His body was divided into three pieces. The right half of the head was attached to the head, and the head was divided into two halves. From the wound, it looked very neat and was cut by a sharp blade.
Just this morning, the three of them were still talking, and now he’s dead.
The two couldn’t help wondering if they would be one of these corpses if they hadn’t gone back.
The answer was obvious.
Not long after, the soldiers found Hou Xuelin’s sword.
Che Hongliang and Wuma An knew about this sword, an ancient godly artifact! It was not easy to come by!
The weapon that Prince Hou regarded as a treasure was cut in half. Who the hell did this?
“Elder Che, even if the Emperor is resting now, he has to interfere!”
“Well, let’s go together.” Che Hongliang also knew the seriousness of the matter.
The Tianfu Palace was heavily guarded, with more than 100 buildings of various sizes. The surrounding buildings looked like a guard of the largest palace in the middle
However, today’s night was different from the past. There were many times more soldiers on patrol, and the main hall, which should have been lit out, was also lit up.
On both sides of the palace stood guards with knives.
According to the rules, guards are not allowed to bring knives into the hall, but today the situation was different.
On the throne was a handsome middle-aged man with a mole on the corner of his mouth, which looked very unique. He was wearing a yellow robe.
Four people were standing below. Three of them were Crown Prince Zhu Zhengqing, Wuma An, and Che Hongliang. The other one was the Celestial Master, Ying Wei!
This old man had white hair. He was holding a long wooden stick in his hand. It looked as if it was chopped directly from a big tree. It looks very rough and carried an eccentric aura!
There was also Hou Xuelin who was covered with a white cloth.
The dim light made the atmosphere in the entire hall very heavy. There was a feeling of breathlessness.
Zhu Chengxuan murmured, “Bloody glow!”
Ying Wei cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, the appearance of bloody glow is an ominous prophecy. To avoid danger, I believe that the royal hunt should be canceled.”
Zhu Chengxuan said in a deep voice: “Let’s not mention hunting for a while, and instead try to find out the cause of Prince Hou’s death first!”
“Your Majetsy, Prince Hou was cut into three pieces by a sharp blade!” Che Hongliang said respectfully.
“Open it for this emperor to see.”
Zhu Zhengqing hurriedly said: “Imperial father, Prince Hou died tragically…”
“Prince, according to the order of age, you have to call him uncle. Even this Emperor had to call him big brother.”
“Yes!”
Wuma An bowed and lifted the white cloth. Although they were all pieced together, the mark was still there. Everyone couldn’t help but frown.
Zhu Chengxuan was relieved when he saw Hou Xuelin’s body, ‘he died well! What a wonderful death!’
That’s right! In the past, they were brothers, but this Hou Xuelin didn’t even have the royal family in his eyes. If Hou Xuelin tried to usurp the throne one day, Zhu Chengxuan would not be too surprised.
“Where’s Prince Hou’s primordial spirit?”
“Reporting to my Imperial father, Prince Hou’s primordial spirit is dissipated. I felt some strange fluctuation when I woke up, and thus went in to check the situation.” Zhu Zhengqing was also considered to be smart. It seems that he wants to eat all the credit.
Zhu Chengxuan said lightly: “You did a good job.”
Che Hongliang frowned slightly. Although Zhu Zhengqing looked very unruly, he was still smart this time.
“Has the murderer been found out? Is it a man or a woman? Is he tall or thin?” Zhu Chengxuan asked. He was just pretending, he even wished to to reward the murderer. ‘You have done a good deed and helped this emperor to get rid of my competitor.’
Ying Wei said respectfully: “Judging from the strength and viciousness of the murderer, he should be a man, and his weapon must be a blade.”
“That’s right. Is there not one living person in the Hou’s mansion?” Zhu Chengxuan asked curiously.
“Today is Prince Hou’s birthday, thus many guests were present in addition to Prince Hou’s family members, but none of them survived!”
After hearing this, Zhu Chengxuan sighed and murmured: “In thousands of years, there has never been such a tragic incident in Tianfu. We must investigate this matter to the end!”
“Yes!”
“Also, bury the prince well, after all, he was this Emperor’s elder brother!”
“Yes!”
Wuma An cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, Prince Hou is dead, and the planes under his jurisdiction cannot be left unsupervised!”
Che Hongliang wanted to say something, but Zhu Zhengqing was even quicker: “Imperial father, your son is willing to take over his planes for temporary bases. I’ll keep it in check until the Imperial Father finds the right candidate.”
Che Hongliang scolded him for being shameless, and hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, Crown Prince already has a jurisdictional plane, I’m afraid he will be overworked.”
“Elder Che, as the prince and the future heir, if I can’t even handle this little responsibility, how will I handle the future hurdles?” Zhu Zhengqing said with a powerful tone.
