The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

Palace, torture chamber.

This is a separate courtyard, very remote and desolate. Even if the moonlight is as clear as water, it cannot illuminate this gloomy place.

The last time, the doctor Sun from the palace who was arrested for murdering the princess died inexplicably after only being here for half a day. No one could find out who did it, which added some ominous rumors to the torture room.

The crows on the branches cried, their short and hoarse voices adding to the sadness.

Chu Suifeng was as nimble as a cat, his black clothes blending into the night, and he landed silently in the corner. He listened carefully and heard footsteps from time to time in the yard of the prison, which should be someone patrolling.

He took advantage of the gap, flew up, and landed on a thick old tree outside the yard. He looked down and had a clear view of the situation in the yard.

Several people dressed as guards were holding lights and shining them everywhere, then they gathered in the corridor and talked in low voices.

Chu Suifeng observed for a moment, his eyes fell on the only room with the light on. He took out a stone he had picked up before and tentatively threw it in the opposite direction. The guards immediately became alert when they heard the noise.

"what sound?"

"Who?"

"I don't know, wild cat?"

The guards scanned the area with lanterns and were not nervous at all.

This is not right!

Chu Suifeng frowned. Their reaction didn't seem like there was someone locked up inside.

Could it be that Mr. Huang is no longer here?

In order to verify this guess, he deliberately made some noise to lure several people away, climbed over the wall, and quickly approached the torture room.

He didn't go in, but just poked a hole in the window paper and looked inside. There was an oil lamp lit on the table. There was no Mr. Huang in the room, not even a single hair.

How could this be?

"No one……"

“It’s not really a wild cat, is it?”

The footsteps of the guards were getting closer. Without having time to think too much, he slipped away the same way before the guards came back.

After leaving the prison compound, Chu Suifeng stood under a tree for a while, took out the paper Rong Heqing gave him, thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the side door of the palace.

Liu Mansion, study.

"What did you say? The person was sent to the South City Jail?"

The man with his back to the desk suddenly turned around, revealing a pair of shrewd and calculating eyes. It was none other than the Lord Liu mentioned by the lady in the market during the day - Liu Yiqing, the co-magistrate of Nancheng.

The candle flame flickered, and the dim light reflected in his eyes, revealing a somewhat strange luster.

The man in black standing in front of the desk said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, it was quietly transported out through the corner gate when it got dark."

"Are you sure that's Huang Zhong?"

Liu Yiqing frowned.

The man in black said anxiously, "I saw it clearly. Huang Zhong was beaten to a pulp. He looks like he's dying. I don't know if we can do anything about it, but he's still a potential threat. Sir, why don't we just -"

He raised his hand and stroked his neck, making a gesture to silence someone.

Liu Yiqing pursed his lips and said hesitantly, "If we confessed, why would Rong Hegui remain silent? Is he waiting for us to fall into his trap?"

The man in black was startled. "But what if he hasn't made a move yet? As long as he's alive, he's the biggest hidden danger to us."

Seeing that Liu Yiqing was somewhat shaken, the man in black continued to persuade him: "My lord, Huang Zhong should have died long ago. No matter whether he confessed or not, he must not be kept alive. Although there are risks, my lord, don't forget that the South City Prison is our territory. As long as he dies, there will be no evidence, and my lord can rest assured!"

Liu Yiqing remained silent, his eyes moving rapidly.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth, pounded the table and said, "You are right, but we cannot do this."

The black-clothed man's eyes flashed, "Your Excellency means..."

Liu Yiqing stroked his mustache and smiled sinisterly, "Haven't there been several distinguished guests in South City recently? We've treated them to delicious food and drinks over the past few days, and it's time for them to return the favor."

The man in black hesitated. "But if we do this, we will have to board their ship. There is no chance to regret it."

Liu Yiqing raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he snorted and laughed, "You are still too naive. The prerequisite for getting on the ship is to have a ship. If the ship is gone, what else can we get on?"

After a moment of silence, the man in black suddenly realized what was going on and said admiringly, "Your Excellency is still the best! I'll do it right away!"

*

After a while, several dark shadows rode out of the back door of Liu's mansion and headed straight to the north.

In the dark alley, Chu Suifeng leaned back and pressed against the wall, holding his breath and listening to the noise outside. He waited until the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away before he slowly walked out from the darkness.

Glancing at the direction the group of people left, Chu Suifeng thought for a moment, then leaped onto the roof, using the force of his leap to follow them closely.

It was late at night, the streets were empty, and the sound of horse hooves was extremely clear. Even though Chu Suifeng fell behind, he was not afraid of losing him.

*

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Suifeng looked at the sparsely guarded South City Prison in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment he understood everything. The King of Annan was using Mr. Huang as bait to lure him into a trap.

The men in black had dismounted their horses early and were approaching the prison from all directions.

It was time for the jailer guarding the gate to change shifts, and he was talking about something with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, several dark shadows jumped out from the darkness, with sharp swords in their hands.

The jailer was startled: "Who is it?"

The man in black was wearing a black cloth mask, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes, and he raised his knife and started slashing!

Before the jailer could react, his arm was chopped and blood was gushing out.

"Someone, come quickly, someone is breaking into the prison!"

There was a sudden chaos at the prison gate. More and more jailers rushed over and surrounded the black shadows. The black shadows fought and retreated, leading the jailers away. At the same time, the remaining four black shadows quickly jumped into the prison.

Chu Suifeng subconsciously wanted to step forward, but shrank back the moment he appeared.

No, since they were setting him up for an ambush, he couldn't act rashly. Otherwise, if he was caught, he would have trouble explaining to the princess and it would also cause trouble for her.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Suifeng chose to wait and see.

In less than a cup of tea, chaos broke out inside. There were constant roars in the prison, which were vaguely audible, but soon three black shadows jumped out.

A group of people dressed as guards followed closely behind.

The killer in black pulled something out of his arms and threw it hard on the ground. Instantly, white mist filled the air and a foul odor filled the air, successfully blocking the guards' pursuit.

Chu Suifeng covered his mouth and nose and followed silently.

*

"Damn it, King Annan was indeed prepared."

"Stop talking and leave!"

"Leave? Where else do you want to go?"

A cold voice interrupted, and the three killers were startled and stopped immediately.

Suddenly, several masked dark figures appeared from the empty street corner and blocked their way.

The killers looked at each other, and their hearts skipped a beat.

"Who are you? Do you know who we are?"

No one paid any attention. The masked man on the opposite side raised his hand and suddenly pressed down. The others immediately stepped forward with swords in hand and surrounded him in silence.

In the narrow alley, flashes of swords and shadows of knives flashed alternately, and the sound of sharp blades entering flesh was terrifying.

Chu Suifeng hid in the dark, his heart in a mess.

Who is this third force?

Seeing that they were about to be wiped out, the three killers looked at each other and exchanged glances. Two of them desperately held the masked man, and the last one broke free and fled into the distance.

Chu Suifeng's heart was moved and he followed immediately.

"Don't let him get away, chase him!"

Several masked men followed closely behind, chasing him relentlessly. The man in black was breathing heavily and disorderly, and he chose to go to remote and chaotic places.

However, he was exhausted and soon slowed down. Seeing this, the masked man raised his arm and shot a hidden arrow at his back.

"Whoosh-"
