Chapter 681; Chaos

Author: Ran Xi Nian

"What?"

"Come here, take down the three of them."

After the words fell, twenty or thirty people immediately rushed out from the dense forest and captured all three of Zhen Guo Gong in a few seconds.

"Everyone says that Duke Zhen Guo is a character, but I never thought he was also a person who talks nonsense."

"You are so outrageous. Everything my father-in-law said is true."

"My brothers have already checked it out, and you still have the nerve to tell the truth."

"I think it's you who has an evil plot to kill my second son. You old dog. Without me, Prince Li, you are about to be beheaded. Now you come out and dare to kill my second son."

"No, I didn't kill Xiao Cheng."

The Duke of Zhenguo roared angrily.

"Stop making excuses. Someone come and chop off this old dog's head so that we can go back and give an explanation to His Highness."

After saying that, someone was about to take action. Duke Zhen Guo was frightened, and just when the sword was about to fall, the mutation happened again.

"My lord, go quickly."

Another group of people came and immediately fought with Gu Jian's people.

The Duke of Zhen also took advantage of the chaos and ran away.

Just when he was about to enter the dense forest, a cold arrow came out of nowhere and hit him.

"ah!"

Holding back the severe pain in his back, Duke Zhenguo's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and ran desperately.

He knew very well at this moment that if he didn't run, he would have no chance and would definitely be killed by these people.

He still had big things to do and revenge to avenge. Emperor Hongwen and Prince Li were both hated by him at this moment.

Especially the latter, that was the person who almost killed him.

As for Emperor Hongwen, he was already an enemy. One point more and one point less. Their relationship was a life-and-death relationship. It was reasonable for them to arrange for people to hunt him down.

"When I enter the North Land, I will definitely have your head on your neck."

The Duke of Zhen Guo gritted his teeth and stumbled as he ran wildly.

After he escaped far away, the sound of fighting in the dense forest gradually stopped.

Gu Jian and Yan San looked at each other and said with a smile, "There should be no problem this time."

That's right, when the voice came back, Lord, hurry up, it was Yan San who came with his people. The two sides put on a show, allowing Duke Zhen Guo to escape.

"It's not finished yet, we still need to complete the layout over there."

"You don't have to worry about this. Tianziwei is very professional and they have already taken care of it."

Gu Jian nodded, and the group restored the scene here and disappeared into the dense forest.

On the side of Xiao Cheng's body, most of the corpses of the Zhen Guo Gong's men and horses have been cleaned up. This is setting up a scene where the Zhen Guo Gong killed Xiao Cheng.

"Is everything done?"

"It's done."

"Then withdraw, hide nearby, and see what's going on behind."

Soon Tianziwei and others also left, and the originally bustling jungle soon returned to calm.

Three days passed, and the second batch of reinforcements from Prince Li finally arrived.

When they arrived in the dense forest, they saw corpses everywhere. Most of them were those of their own people, as well as those of the second young master, Xiao Cheng.

It's just that many corpses have been destroyed by wild beasts in the forest, and even Xiao Cheng's corpse has become dilapidated.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the reinforcements turned pale and took a deep breath.

"Look around to see if there are any clues left behind."

The group of people spread out and searched. About a quarter of an hour later, someone shouted, "There's something here, boss."

The leader immediately went over and saw a corpse lying over there. Judging from the clothing, it should be the corpse of one of their own. It looked like it was running away, with an arrow in the back.

But underneath the corpse was a blood-stained package, which also contained Xiao Cheng's identity badge.

When he opened the package, he saw a blood-stained letter lying inside.

The leader opened the letter, and when he saw it, his whole body trembled.

"You stay here and collect the bodies of the second young master and all the brothers. I have to rush back immediately. I'm afraid something will happen if it's too late."

Others agreed one after another.

The leader immediately mounted his horse and returned to the north.

"Mr. Zhen Guo, good, very good. I, Prince Li, and you are incompatible with each other."

In the military tent of the Northern Army in Beidi Town, Prince Li looked at the blood-stained letter in his hand, his face was livid, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Where is the second young master?"

"My subordinates found this letter and were worried that something might happen if it was too late, so they rushed back immediately, while the other brothers gathered the body behind."

Prince Li nodded and continued to ask, "How is the situation at the scene?"

"The Duke of Zhen Guo made it clear that he had already taken precautions. Not only did he intercept and kill all of our first group of people, he also added many more people around him."

"The situation at the scene is almost one-sided. Our people don't have much room to fight back. The second young master still has a look of disbelief on his face. His subordinates think that there is a high probability that the Duke of Zhen will suddenly take action. Our people have not yet

Just have time to react."

After hearing this, Prince Li's complexion became even more livid, and veins appeared on his arms when he clenched his hands into fists.

"What a great prince. He thinks that when we get to the north, we won't be needed anymore."

"Go and arrange for people to strictly guard all the entrances to the Northland for me, and check them severely. I will make sure that even if he reaches the gate of the Northland, he will not be able to get close."

"Also, deal with all the people we have investigated who are related to the town government."

Although he came to Beidi not long ago, he also found out many people who were related to Zhen Guogong.

I originally thought that I would wait until I got hold of the Duke of Zhen, and then slowly take all these people into my own hands.

But now the Duke of Zhen Guo actually turned against him and killed his younger brother. He couldn't just let this blood feud go.

The Duke of Zhen has not been found yet, but he needs to get rid of these people first, so as to collect some interest for his second brother's blood feud.

As soon as his order came down, the Northland immediately became trembling with excitement. People were deployed at all the important roads and even at some checkpoints that few people used.

In the Northland, many local officials, gentry, and even young generals in the army have sprung up to suppress the Northern Army.

Blood and screams arose one after another. In just two or three days, more than a dozen officials were massacred in their residences, and more than a thousand people lost their lives.

Prince Li's move frightened many people in the North, and many people did not dare to go out for fear that they would be mercilessly killed.

As for his actions, Gu Jian, Yan San, and the Emperor Wei who were paying attention to the situation here all heard about it.

There is even an impeachment memorial on its way to the capital.

How come so many officials were killed, and they were all from the Zhenguo Gong faction? Some of them were well hidden, so naturally it was impossible to let Prince Li and the Crown Prince off like this.

He had to pay the price for killing so many people for no reason.

"It seems that our layout is good. If Prince Li does this, both of them will have no room for maneuver."

Yan San nodded with satisfaction.

"Where is the Duke of Zhen, how is the situation now?"
