Chapter 1010: Deceived
No matter how she called out, there was no response.
She quickly jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly towards the fire.
She saw many palace soldiers lying on the ground, soundly sleeping.
She raised her foot and kicked hard, but the man only groaned a few times and didn't open his eyes.
She couldn't help but throw her head back and laugh: "Hahaha, I didn't expect the drug given by the Jiaodong King was so effective. It can actually make these people sleep like dead pigs!"
At this time, Gao Yuzhe said anxiously: "Mother, I want to go find Princess Youyi. Is she asleep too? I have to drag her to our carriage quickly!"
Queen Gao hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Why are you so anxious? How can she escape? The only thing we can do now is to quickly send a signal to those assassins arranged by the King of Jiaodong, and have them come and kill us!"
Without hesitation, she quickly blew the bronze flute that she had hidden long ago.
About a cup of tea later, many men in black appeared in front of Queen Gao.
She said with joy, "Now that you're here, go and kill those palace soldiers! They're all sleeping like dead pigs, and they don't have the slightest ability to resist!"
The man in black stepped forward quickly and was about to take action when he saw Mo Lingyue, with a grim expression on his face, suddenly walk out from the darkness.
He asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The man in black looked at Queen Gao with a questioning look, which frightened her so much that she shuddered all over.
She explained anxiously: "I didn't expect that he was not unconscious, but he is the only one left and can't do anything. You guys kill him first!"
Just as the man in black was about to take action, he saw a number of arrows flying towards him from behind.
Immediately afterwards, the unconscious soldiers jumped up from the ground and chopped off their legs with their swords.
"Ah!" Queen Gao and her son screamed in fear and fell to the ground.
It was almost a one-sided crushing. In just a moment, all those black-clad warriors were captured by the 3,000 elite soldiers led by Zhan Yan.
The man in black looked at him in disbelief: "Marquis Zhan Yi, why are you here?"
Zhan Yan said contemptuously, "Why can't I come? Do you really think we're only using 500 palace soldiers to escort Princess Youyi to Jiaodong Island?"
A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the leader of the death squad. He knew that he had been fooled this time.
He wanted to commit suicide by swallowing poison, but Shadow Soul broke all his teeth.
He fell to the ground in pain, his face full of frustration and determination.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You can kill us or chop us up as you please. We will never betray our master!"
The other assassins also shouted: "Yes, we will never betray our master even if we die!"
Zhan Yan said slowly: "Since you are so determined to die, then I will grant your wish and shoot you all on the spot without sparing a single one!"
Queen Gao was shocked. She and Gao Yuzhe could not die!
She immediately shouted, "Marquis Zhan Yi, you can't kill us. It was the Prince of Jiaodong who told me to drug the guards at the Princess's Mansion. He also threatened me that if I didn't cooperate, he would kill me and my son on the way back to Gaoyou Country. He could kill us without anyone noticing!"
Gao Yuzhe also spoke up: "Yes, my mother was forced. I am the little prince of Gaoyou Kingdom. You have no right to shoot me!"
The leader of the assassins regretted it deeply. If he had known that Queen Gao would accuse his master, he should have killed her in advance.
Now, Zhan Yan has obtained the evidence of King Jiaodong's guilt.
As expected, Zhan Yan spoke coldly, "Alright, since Queen Gao has said so, I will send a letter to Prince Li right away, asking him to capture Prince Jiaodong as soon as possible to serve as a warning to others!"
Zhan Yan sent Yinghun back to the capital at full speed, but the King of Jiaodong, who had not received any news for a long time, began to worry.
He thought his plan was foolproof, but there might be omissions.
Just then, a secret guard hurried in and said, "Your Highness, I have learned that Marquis Zhan Yi has left the capital with three thousand elite troops at the west gate!"
The King of Jiaodong's expression suddenly changed. He must be secretly escorting Princess Youyi.
He angrily slapped the secret guard in the face: "Why didn't you come back and report earlier?"
The secret guard argued aggrievedly: "I hadn't heard this news before. I just happened to find out from a beggar!"
The Prince of Jiaodong did not dare to delay and quickly asked his staff to notify the old princess and Nangong Yuan to pack up the gold and silver jewelry.
After a moment he said again: "No, no need to pack up, let's go first!"
The four of them hurriedly got into the carriage and left Beijing overnight.
The old princess sat in the carriage, tears welling in her eyes. She asked in a trembling voice, "Son, how did it come to this?"
The King of Jiaodong also wanted to know how he had come to this point. When he was on Jiaodong Island, he was a local emperor and was very powerful.
But now, he was fleeing the capital in such a hurry like a stray dog.
He must rush back to Jiaodong Island before Mo Lingyue and Zhan Yan, and let his confidants prepare for the storm.
He said in a hateful voice: "Mother, Jiaodong Island was taken back by my father. What right does the Sheng Dynasty royal family have to take it away?"
The old princess spoke in a panic, "Son, given the current situation, we can no longer be angry with the royal family. Why don't you take this opportunity to find a beautiful place with clear water and mountains, and live in seclusion with A Yuan?"
The King of Jiaodong shook his head with difficulty. "No, I won't accept this. Why should we give up the place that my father and I worked so hard to build? Mo Lingyue is not worthy of this. He can't even govern his own Jingcheng, so how can he lay his hands on my Jiaodong Island?"
The old princess felt bitter, but she also knew that she could not persuade her stubborn son.
She had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "No matter what decision you make, your mother will be with you!"
The Prince of Jiaodong looked out of the carriage with a ferocious look in his eyes. He murmured softly, "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely be able to take back Jiaodong Island. Zhan Yan and his men will never come back!"
The carriage sped along and soon disappeared into the night.
The commander of the Imperial Guards broke into the Jiaodong Palace, but found nothing.
He did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered someone to deliver an urgent report to Zhan Yan.
Lin Yiwan and Princess Youyi set off late, and they brought a carriage full of children.
The boys include Ye Qian, Ye Li, Zhan Mu, and Zhan Xuan, and the girls include Zhan Qingning and Zhan Miao.
The little ones had never seen the sea, so they insisted on going to Jiaodong Island to see it for themselves.
Lin Yiwan disliked their noise and let them ride in the carriage alone.
Unexpectedly, conflicts began to arise soon.
Ye Qian and Mu Xijing also fought. Even when they were traveling, they didn't want to fall behind in their studies, so they spent their free time reading.
But Zhan Xuan is different, he is lively and active.
In addition, Ye Li also practiced martial arts now, so the two guys began to practice martial arts in the carriage.
As the fight went on, innocent people were affected, and Zhan Mu and Ye Qian couldn't concentrate on reading at all.
The two of them joined the battle together.
Seeing the chaos in the carriage, Zhan Miao shouted at the top of his voice: "Help! There's a fight! Help! Come quickly!"
When Lin Yiwan heard the noise, she immediately ordered the carriage to stop.
When the carriage door opened, she saw four young men lying in a pile with bruised faces and noses.
