With a panic in his heart, the man couldn't help but clenched his hand hanging by his side.

But after looking around, Qi Yan felt a little relieved when he found that Qianye and Mo Feng and Mo Yun who were hiding in the dark were not there either.

Qianye can be his personal bodyguard, so it goes without saying that he has martial arts skills.

Mo Feng and Mo Yun were also the two most skilled among all his secret guards. With the three of them following, there would be no danger.

But he couldn't see anyone, which made him feel uneasy. He dispatched some of the Imperial Guards who were handling the scene to look for people. At the same time, he himself also searched around.

"Your Majesty, all of our injured people have been taken away for treatment by our brothers. Among the assassins, there are still two alive. It is up to Your Majesty to decide how to deal with them!"

There were many people, so the inspection was quick. About a quarter of an hour later, Yin Lang, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, walked up to the man and handed over his hand to report.

And the two men in black he mentioned had also been kidnapped by Wu Hua Da.

The veils covering their faces had already been pulled down by the guards, revealing their true faces.

One of the thin, older men in black had a shoulder injury, and the other, a tanned but younger man, had a knee injury. Their wounds were still bleeding outwards.

"Who sent you here?" Qi Yan spoke condescendingly towards the two of them, with his usual cold and cold tone.

"Hmph," the thinner man in black sneered and raised his lips, "You are in charge of the government, covering the sky with one hand, and the lives of others are nothing in your eyes.

Qi Yan, can you count how many people have died at your hands over the years?Even if I said it, can you really remember it? "

"How dare you call the prince by his name!" The guard on the side slapped the man in black on the face.

His head was hit to the side, and a trace of blood slowly flowed down the corner of his mouth, but the man in black still kept his sneer.

"Thief, you have a lot of blood on your hands. Sooner or later, you will receive retribution!"

After the words fell, he moved his mouth, wanting to bite the poison bag hidden in his mouth and kill himself. However, the man was one step ahead of him, leaned forward and pinched his chin.

"Do you think you can divert my attention by talking about him?" Qi Yan's lips curved into a cold smile, "It's not that easy to commit suicide in front of me."

After saying that, he used his hand to remove the man in black's chin with a "click".

"Take out the poison bag from his mouth." Taking the handkerchief handed by the guard, Qi Yan ordered while wiping the blood stains on his hands.

Looking at the other man in black kneeling beside him, he quickly added in a low voice, "And him."

The guard followed the order and did as he was told. At this time, another wave of soldiers who were sent to look for the person came back. The leader stepped forward, knelt on one knee and replied to the man: "My lord, no, the princess was not found."

Although he didn't dare to look up, the soldier leader could feel the chill coming from above his head, and his teeth were chattering as he spoke.

His eyes suddenly turned sinister. Qi Yan raised his eyes and saw his personal bodyguard walking not far away with a silver lamp.

Without waiting for the other party to report, he couldn't wait to ask first, "Where is the princess?"

"Wang...Princess?" Looking at the man's gloomy expression, Qianye instantly understood that the princess must have disappeared.

"The princess is worried about her personal maid, so she asked her subordinates to go search for her. I..."

It is true that he left his post without permission, and there is no explanation. Qianye pursed his lips and knelt down to apologize, "It was my subordinate who neglected his duty and failed to take good care of the princess. Please punish me!"

"Don't give these useless words to me. Find someone! If anything happens to the princess today, none of you will survive."

Afterwards, Qi Yan ordered the Lianhua Lake to be cordoned off, counted the guests present today, and at the same time told the guards to interrogate the two arrested men in black on the spot. With all instructions in place, he turned around and went to find them himself.

The so-called interrogation in the man's mouth is simply torture.

The whip used for torture had barbs on it. When the whip was struck, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

After only ten whips were struck, the clothes on the man in black were already in tatters, and the whip marks on his back seeped into the flesh, dripping with blood.

But there is also a skill in the use of this whip. It can kill a person with three lashes, or it can only damage the skin and flesh without moving the muscles and bones. Even if it takes [-] lashes, the person will not be able to breathe anymore, but it depends on how the executioner starts.

The man gave a clear order not to let these two people die. The guards naturally knew how to fight them.

The originally lively and peaceful hall was now completely silent, with only the sounds of whips hitting flesh and the shrill screams of men in black echoing in the air.

A bloody fight had just ended, and before everyone could recover from the shock, the place turned into another Shura field in an instant.

The timid noble girl had been frightened to tears, but she did not dare to cry loudly, so she could only sob.

the other side.

Qi Yan quickly searched the entire front hall and found no one, so Qi Yan quickly walked to the remote backyard.

Those assassins were obviously coming for him. Holding her during the fight would inevitably affect his performance. The sword had no eyes. He was afraid that he would accidentally hurt her, so he asked the guards to protect her.

Unexpectedly, that guy Qianye actually lost someone to him.

It was also his fault. In the final analysis, he failed to keep an eye on her.

If he had known this, he should have hugged her and never let go for a moment.

Full of annoyance and self-blame, the more he couldn't find anyone, the more random thoughts Qi Yan couldn't help but think about.

Was he caught by someone with ulterior motives?Or was it because she wanted to run away, so she found an excuse to send Qianye away?

If it was the former, there was no way there would be no news from Mo Feng and Mo Yun. His heart suddenly sank, and Qi Yan's steps began to become messy.

But then I thought about it, if it was the latter, wouldn't it mean that at least she was safe now?

But what he was most afraid of was that the girl had some evil idea to trip or stun Mo Feng and Mo Yun, and then ran away and encountered danger. After all, the little girl had been very weird since she was a child.

Although the man in black just talked nonsense just to divert his attention, what he said was indeed good.

Along the way, there was countless blood on his hands, and there were enemies all over the place. It was not safe to just say that she was the regent princess, not to mention,

She is so good-looking, and just because of her appearance, it is easy for people to get distracted when walking on the street.

It was because she had responded so much to him these days and was so kind to him that he completely relaxed his guard, and gradually forgot how that girl had avoided him in the past.

Whether she ran away from him or encountered some danger, he couldn't bear to lose her in any way.

But now he was more worried about her safety. The bloody scenes in his memory kept replaying in his mind. Qi Yan had a splitting headache and veins popped up on his arms.

"Your Majesty," at this time, a soldier leader stepped forward. He wanted to report, but found that the man seemed not in a good state.

"Prince? You, are you okay?" He asked cautiously and tentatively.

The voice coming from his ears brought Qi Yan out of his painful immersion. He suddenly opened his eyelids and uttered one word with scarlet eyes, "Speak!"

"That, that," seeing the man looking like he was about to kill someone, a chill ran down the soldier's head, and he felt his tongue was tied.

"Prince, the guests have been counted. Except for a few injured people who were sent for treatment, the only ones who are not present are,"

"His Royal Highness Prince Ding and the maid beside the princess, Bi Luo." Quietly looking at the man's face, the soldier leader lowered his voice and carefully completed the rest of the words.
