"Your Majesty, we can go to the border to defend the city today." Prince Liang's personal guard said.

"Okay, let them hurry up." King Liang hurriedly urged the guards.

After a bumpy journey, at noon, King Liang's motorcade finally arrived at the city guard station, where his subordinates had been waiting for a long time.

After getting off the carriage, King Liang hurried to the general's camp to listen to his subordinates' report.

"General Wang, what do the people over there in Wu'an County say?" King Liang asked.

"Reporting to the prince, my subordinates have already asked them, and they insisted that this matter has nothing to do with them." General Wang said.

"Well, if it is true that they did not do this, then let me ask you, are there any other organizations or sects nearby?" Prince Liang asked after thinking deeply.

"Your Majesty, there is a group of bandits in the nearby mountains, but they have never had any conflicts with us. I don't think it was them who did it, right?" General Wang said with an incredulous look on his face.

"General Wang's words are wrong. What if they were ordered by others?" King Liang asked.

"This..." General Wang could not answer at this time.

At this time, the soldiers outside came in and reported that the king of Wu'an County invited King Liang to come to their place for a banquet and wrote a letter in his own hand.

The general meaning of the letter is that the recent attacks on soldiers have nothing to do with Wu'an. Now that King Liang is here, Wu'an specially arranged a banquet to entertain King Liang, in order to ease the tense situation. In addition, let's see if we can find any clues to solve the case, so that we can get back together as soon as possible.

After reading the letter, King Liang felt that there must be something fishy about the matter and decided to go to the banquet tonight.

"General Wang, please make arrangements and go with me today. This matter must be investigated to the bottom of the matter."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your orders." General Wang agreed.

At this time, the maids on the Queen Mother's side reported back that Master Shen Tingyu and Miss Rong Ruo came to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother hurriedly invited the two of them to the Tianxi Palace as guests.

Ask the maid to prepare wine and food and wait for their arrival.

After a while, Shen Tingyu took Rong Ruo into the main hall. Rong Ruo looked towards the hall, and saw a graceful and luxurious old lady sitting in the hall, with two maids serving beside her. Shen Tingyu hurriedly shook her hand when she saw the Queen Mother. Rongruo's hand signaled the two of them to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

"Tingyu and Rongruo meet with the Queen Mother."

"Get up, no need to be polite, please sit down." The empress dowager walked down from the bench with the help of the maid, came to Rongruo's side, and looked at her carefully.

"Are you the girl that Ting Yu always praises? You are indeed pretty and cute. No wonder Ting Yu is so devoted to you." The Queen Mother looked up and down carefully and said.

Rongruo didn't know what to say for a moment and lowered her head shyly.

"Auntie, don't stare at her like this. It makes me so embarrassed. We agreed that I will bring you this person. You must honor your promise to me." Shen Tingyu rushed with a playful smile. The Queen Mother said.

"This girl is really popular, no wonder." He said and ordered the maid to pour wine.

"Please stay with me for a while today. I usually don't have many people here, and I don't have many people to talk to. It's just a good time for us to chat about home affairs."

"Okay, as long as my aunt is happy, you can decide how long we will stay with you." Shen Tingyu said with a smile.

"Really? How about this? I think Miss Rong Ruo is well-educated and reasonable. I just need someone to chat with me. How about letting Rong Ruo accompany me these days? It will take ten days and a half. What do you think if I send her back to you again?" The Queen Mother said to Shen Tingyu seriously.

"Queen Mother, are you trying to kill me? What should I do if you let Rongruo accompany you? This is not possible. You should make some other suggestions." Shen Tingyu said with a silly smile.

"Well, who said just now, as long as I am happy, you can stay with me anytime. I just want Miss Rong Ruo to chat with me and stay for a few days. You reacted like this, and you don't mean what you say. !Ha ha"

"Auntie, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

Then Shen Tingyu said: "When will you do what you promised me?"

"I wonder what Tingyu is talking about?" The Empress Dowager deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"Ah, why did you forget?" Shen Tingyu tugged on the Queen Mother's sleeves and begged.

"You promised well yesterday."

"Haha, you kid, how could I forget? I just asked Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Rites to prepare a gift list and send it to Mei Mansion according to my wishes. At this moment, maybe you two are negotiating with the prince at the palace. What about people’s marriages?”

"Auntie, are you telling the truth?" Shen Tingyu asked in disbelief.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" the Queen Mother said with a smile.

"I knew that my aunt was the best to me." Shen Tingyu and Rongruo looked at each other and smiled.

In the evening, King Liang came to Wu'an County, and the king of Wu'an County came out to greet him. A banquet was arranged in the main hall, and after both parties took their seats, the prince once again stated their position. He also promised to cooperate with King Liang to investigate the matter thoroughly.

At this time, the maids poured wine one after another, and everyone raised their glasses. After thirty years of drinking, General Wang saw that King Liang was a little drunk, so he said goodbye to the prince and sent King Liang back to the camp.

On the way back, King Liang suddenly woke up. In fact, King Liang was not drunk at all, he just pretended to be drunk on purpose.

"General Wang, do you think what the prince said today is sincere and true?" King Liang asked.

"According to my subordinates, I think it's true. Didn't they also promise to cooperate with us to find the murderer? Let's wait and see."

General Wang replied.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and dozens of masked men in black surrounded the carriage. The masked man did not make a sound, but rushed directly towards the carriage.

Since they were still in Wu'an, the entire force consisted of the twenty or so people who followed King Liang to the banquet. Those masked men in black were very well-trained and killed the twenty or so people in a short time. No scraps of armor remain.

"Your Majesty, come with me quickly." General Wang said and took Prince Liang and ran towards the station. However, because it was too dark and foggy, it was difficult to find the way back.

The men in black chased them one by one. General Wang resisted in front, trying to find a way out. Unexpectedly, these men in black held on tightly and could not break through. When King Liang and him stood back to back, When we were together, King Liang panted and said to General Wang: "General Wang, please leave me alone. It is me they want to kill. You should take the opportunity to escape."

"No, my lord, my subordinates will definitely protect you. I will be here when you are here." General Wang's eyes turned red, and the blade and hands were covered with blood.

"You hurry up. If you don't leave, it will be too late. I am too old to escape. I have figured it out. This matter must be related to King Kang. He wants to seize power." Before King Liang could finish speaking, a knife stabbed him. The heart of King Liang.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." General Wang shouted.
