780 Kill (5)
That was the crown prince’s personal guard!
Huangfu Hao was shocked and afraid. At this moment, he finally realized that something was wrong. The crown prince had brought his guards, but his guards were left on the mountainside. Huangfu Hao shouted angrily, “What are you doing?”
The crown prince looked at him expressionlessly. “I’m sorry.”
A few guards pounced at Huangfu Hao at the same time. Huangfu Hao shouted in despair, “Fu Xiuyan! If you kill me, the State of Qin won’t let this matter rest! Fu Xiuyan!”
Fu Xiuyan was the crown prince’s name.
His voice stopped abruptly when the sword went right through his chest. The blood that slowly seeped out was stuck to the thin ice on the ground.
Yi Feng Pavilion was next to the valley, and Huangfu Hao’s high-pitched roar resounded through the valley.
It spread like ripples at the surface of the water.
On the other side, the crown prince and the others, who were rushing towards Yi Feng Pavilion, suddenly stopped. They were on their way up the mountain from the back side, so they couldn’t hear the echo clearly. The crown prince frowned and said, “Was someone shouting my name just now?”
The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The crown prince thought for a moment and said, “I probably heard wrongly.”
In the world, other than the emperor and the empress, no one dared to call him by his name. Moreover, at this moment, there should be no one in Yi Feng Pavilion. The time agreed on the invitation was nine o’clock. However, the crown prince had a habit of arriving early on every occasion, so he should be the first to arrive.
At the thought of this, he felt that he was mistaken. However, for some reason, the crown prince felt a little uneasy and couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
When he arrived at Yi Feng Pavilion, he saw someone sitting in the pavilion with his back to him from afar. Judging by the back figure, it was clearly Huangfu Hao. The crown prince was a little surprised. He did not expect Huangfu Hao to come so early. He smiled and went forward to greet him. “I didn’t expect Brother Huangfu to come so…”
Before he could say “early”, the crown prince’s hand had just patted Huangfu Hao’s shoulder when Huangfu Hao fell to the ground with a bang. The crown prince was shocked and immediately reached out to pull Huangfu Hao. As he pulled, Huangfu Hao turned his face, facing him. The crown prince immediately screamed and let go.
Huangfu Hao’s eyes and mouth were wide open, as if he was extremely angry and shocked. However, his clothes were wet and cold, because at his chest, his silver robe was already dyed red with large patches of blood.
“What’s going on?” The crown prince panicked and was instantly stunned. Huangfu Hao was dead?
How was this possible!
Before he could react, a large group of people suddenly rushed in from outside. They were all dressed as guards. Seeing that Huangfu Hao was lying on the ground, they shouted angrily at the crown prince, “How dare you murder our master! Pay with your life!” Without a word, they pounced on the crown prince.
The crown prince also brought his guards, and his guards naturally would not let him be hurt, so they fought with those guards. Only then did the crown prince understand that these people who drew their swords at him were Huangfu Hao’s guards. But where were Huangfu Hao’s guards just now? Why did they rush out all of a sudden?
The crown prince explained and shouted, “Brother Huangfu was already dead before my arrival! I didn’t do it!”
When one of the guards who looked like the leader heard this, he said hatefully, “Nonsense! Just now, we were waiting for our master’s order at the mountainside when we heard him shout that you were trying to kill him! We couldn’t arrive immediately because there was some distance. Now that we have caught you red-handed, we won’t let you get away with it!” With that, he raised his sword and rushed over.
