Outside the inn, Li Mo didn't see the Ninth Prince and Xiao Ting, so he rushed forward very anxiously.
Suddenly, a powerful impact erupted, sending him flying.
The flames shot up into the sky, the gate was blown away, and three people came out from inside, lined up, with long swords in their hands dripping with blood.
There were red bloodstains all over his head, and there were many wounds on his body. The flames behind him were soaring into the sky. Looking in through the gap, it was already a sea of fire.
"Shoot the arrow!" Fang Jian was not in front of him, but reacted faster than Li Mo, and immediately shouted when he saw a few people.
The soldiers guarding outside were not at all chaotic, feathered arrows shot towards them like a tide.
After only a sweep, two of them were caught off guard and were crucified there.
The flames soared into the sky and soon engulfed them.
Seeing this, the other man waved his sword to block it, and even though he was not dead, he was forced to retreat in.
It's hard to take a step out of the gate of the inn.
This yard is full of fires, and the places separated from other yards have been set up with fire belts. There are soldiers standing underneath, and they are still in a team of five, keeping their positions, and there is no chaos at all.
Li Mo was injured by the air wave just now, he stood up with his sword on his chest, and wanted to rush in.
"Li Youwei!" Fang Jian couldn't let him in no matter what he said, just by looking at it, there were probably not many living people inside.
"What kind of people are the concubine and the prince, how can something happen, and it's useless for you to go in at this moment."
Li Mo kept his face cold and turned a deaf ear to his words.
"You forgot the prince's instructions." Fang Jian persuaded loudly.
At the same time, there were more and more people rushing out, some of them were directly burning people, and the team outside the inn was dispersed in an instant.
The sword has no eyes, and it is another melee.
The Ninth Prince shuttled through the inn alone, with an indifferent expression, entering and leaving one by one at an extremely fast speed, looking for Xiao Ting.
However, the place is so big, he has searched it several times, but still found nothing.
There was chaos inside and outside the inn, and the adjacent yard ran away from the very beginning.
Some of them didn't even wear any clothes, and they were basically wearing underwear. Not far away, there was a field of white flowers, which was very dazzling.
Xiao Ting stood in the crowd, looking at the chaos in surprise, there was no familiar person in the crowd.
She is not tall, so she can only shuttle through the crowd, and in a short time, she came to the edge.
She saw Fang Jian and Li Mo in the chaos ahead, and was about to run forward.
But he was pulled back by a person behind him, "Girl, we can't go there now."
"How is this going?"
After she escaped, because she didn't see the Ninth Prince and the others, she went directly to the City Lord's Mansion, but was told that the Ninth Prince and his party did not come here.
Xiao Ting can only go back, every time she goes back and forth, this place becomes like this.
"I heard that there is a prince living here, and he must have offended someone, so he was killed."
"You're wrong. This is obviously a plan designed by the prince. Those who didn't see them are all outside, and those inside are all those who broke in."
There are objections.
Xiao Ting frowned, at the moment she rushed over, it was really of no help, but she didn't see the Ninth Prince in the crowd.
This made her a little uneasy.
His gaze scanned the crowd again, but he still didn't see it.
"Then, have you seen the prince?"
Ninth Prince and Xiao Ting have lived here for half a month, and already know many people.
But at the moment Xiao Ting didn't wear her hair in a bun, her clothes were a little messy, and the sky was dark, so no one recognized her.
But Ninth Prince is different.
A person like him, no matter what the situation is, as long as he appears, he will become the focus of everyone.
"I heard that the prince didn't come out."
"It's not just the prince, we were close to each other just now, and when we passed by, we heard the two adults arguing, saying that the prince and the concubine were both inside."
"No way, such a big fire, if they are inside, how can they survive?"
"It's true, haven't you seen that the two adults are still arguing?"
Xiao Ting looked over, Li Mo and Fang Jian were surrounded by people.
They were all trying their best to block the door, and their intention was obvious that they would not let anyone leave.
But Li Mo's posture was more direct. He held a cold sword, one sword at a time, without showing any emotion at all, and rushed straight in.
Although Fang Jian was still fighting, he blocked him from time to time, intending to stop him.
Xiao Ting wanted to understand, knowing that the Ninth Prince must be inside, otherwise Li Mo would not act like this.
She quickly got away from the crowd and ran along the edge.
Not long after he came to the carriage, Fang Jian saw her for the first time and said happily, "Princess, it's the concubine."
Li Mo was the closest to him, turned around and came closer, seeing Xiao Ting, his face was no longer so tense.
"Princess, have you ever seen the prince?"
Xiao Ting shook her head, "Is he inside?"
Li Mo nodded.
Without saying a word, Xiao Ting reached the other side of the carriage in a blink of an eye, and it was too late for Li Mo and Fang Jian to stop her.
Watching her helplessly, he slipped into the compound.
Xiao Ting naturally didn't want to seek her own death, but she also understood that if the Ninth Prince couldn't find her, he would be worried and anxious.
Of course, she was most afraid that he would suddenly go berserk and kill everyone.
That way, his physique may be discovered immediately, what he has to do has not been done, and this is not the time yet.
Relying on her small stature, she turned east and west, and came under a wall.
Seeing that it was her, the people guarding there were stunned for a moment.
"Has anyone come out here yet?"
Several people nodded, before they opened their mouths, Xiao Ting slid across the silver rope in her hand, took it straight to the top of the pillar, and then she reached the wall in a flash.
Without the slightest hesitation, she jumped straight down.
"It's hot as hell."
Xiao Ting pinched her nose, lowered her waist and carefully entered the nearest room.
She only took one look at the situation inside, and then spit it out with a wow.
Blood corpse, blood-stained corpse, living corpse.
There were four people lying on the ground in a mess, one of them had his chest open and his heart had been dug out, but he was not dead yet, and he was digging the ground with his fingers, trying to move forward.
The other people also lacked organs. Look at the wound, it wasn't a sharp knife, it was dug out abruptly.
A figure drifted past outside the house, Xiao Ting's expression changed.
The person went to the window, but saw nothing. She jumped out of the window, her feet were weak, and she almost fell.
She quickly took a few steps, stabilized her figure, and looked back, feeling nauseated again.
There was a man leaning halfway there, with his back against the wall, all four limbs were intact, but his face was blurred for a while, his eyeballs were gouged out, leaving only two blood holes, his mouth was whimpering, but he couldn't say anything.
Obviously, the throat is abolished, and less air is taken in and more air is released.
"My lord..."
Xiao Ting didn't care about anything else, and hurried forward to chase, she was right, the figure just now must be Chu Li.
He is crazy!
She chased three houses in a row, and then she came to the end, and the road was full of dying people.
Xiao Ting didn't go to look anymore, the flames were burning outside, the screams were gone, and the place in Nuoda seemed to be a dead place.
She went all the way to the house where she lived before finding the Ninth Prince.
He was standing beside the bed with his back to Xiao Ting, and there were three corpses under his feet.
Xiao Ting stepped across the threshold softly and called out, "Chu Li."
The Ninth Prince stood there without responding. He maintained a strange posture, with his head lowered, and seemed to be holding something in his hand.
"Chu Li, can you hear me?" Xiao Ting took a few steps forward, not daring to speak too loudly.
She still remembered that time when he was in the underground palace of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, the Ninth Prince turned into another person for the first time and almost killed her.
He clearly knew her identity, and really almost strangled her to death.
Without mercy, without any scruples, he wanted to kill her.
Xiao Ting stopped three steps away from the Ninth Prince.
She didn't look at the ground, those people must have died, "Chu Li, I'm Xiao Xiao."
Her voice was trembling, for fear that the Ninth Prince would suddenly show that wanton smile.
It was a look that annihilated all emotions in the world.
She was afraid of him like that.
Ninth Prince's body froze, and then slowly turned around.
His face was as pale as a piece of white paper, his black hair had long been scattered and draped over his shoulders, there was a raging smile in his eyes, and his mouth was covered with blood.
Xiao Ting felt a chill in her heart.
The whole person is shaking.
in his hand...
Outside the inn, after the chaos, no one came out. All those who rushed out were killed. There were several teams there to make up for the omissions, not wanting to let anyone go.
Soon soldiers came over with a flatbed cart, and a team of two loaded all the corpses onto the cart.
Stack them together and quickly transport them out of the city.
Everything went on in an orderly manner without any chaos.
Li Mo ran in immediately, but Fang Jian subconsciously stopped him.
"Stop me again, we'll never die." Li Mo swung his sword across Fang Jian's neck, with awe-inspiring sword aura, leaving a bloodstain on his neck.
Fang Jian quickly raised his hands, "Let's go find the prince and concubine together."
The others left behind to deal with the aftermath, Li Mo and Fang Jianbing split into two ways and began to search, shouting at the same time.
"My lord..."
"Princess, where are you?"
But even the two of them broke their throats, but they didn't get an answer.
Li Mo discovered these strange corpses immediately, he frowned slightly, and went straight into the main building.
He quickly shuttled through it, and soon found the room where Xiao Ting was.
About to open the door and enter, suddenly, Fang Jian's violent shout came from below, accompanied by fury.
Someone was not dead, hid, and started a fight with Fang Jian, and Fang Jian was not his opponent.
Li Mo didn't even think about it, he just jumped down and wrestled with that person.
"It's you?"
Li defaulted on this person, joined hands with Fang Jian, and made a fierce attack.
"Li Youwei is looking for someone?" Although the visitor was besieged by two masters, he was not at all nervous and said in a leisurely manner.
Li Mo's face was ashen, and his heart was anxious, "Cheng Yunyi, I have run away so many times, this time I must take you down."
Cheng Yunyi first worked as a counselor in the Jiangnan Prince's Mansion. Later, when the Jiangnan King became seriously ill, his eldest son Chu Tiankuo quelled everything, revealed Cheng Yunyi's identity and reported it to Emperor Renxiao, so that the Jiangnan Palace was preserved.
Afterwards, he has been active around the imperial city, had an intersection with Prince Rui's residence, and disappeared without a trace.
The Ninth Prince ordered that there is no need to pay attention, and Li Mo never saw this person again.
But he never thought that Cheng Yunyi would appear here and face the assassination plan.
Now that the life and death of the prince and concubine are uncertain, he must take this person down.
