After Shui Lingshi returned to the mansion, she immediately sent her family slaves to report the news, asked Shui Qianzhou to rush back immediately, and organized the guards in the mansion to strengthen defense.

Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, the Eight Princes could only act in advance. 20,000 elite soldiers came out in full swing, hoping to capture Shui Lingsi and threaten Shui Qianzhou to surrender.

But the guards of the Shui family's mansion were not mediocre, and they actually blocked the Eight Princes' guards and delayed the time.

Then he dragged it to Shui Qianzhou to lead the elite troops back.

Commander Qin showed regret and said, "It's a pity that... you can leave peacefully. Since you have to seek death, I will fulfill your wishes."

Shui Qianzhou snorted angrily and said, "Hmph, just you guys want to destroy my Shui family. Are you a little too arrogant?"

"Is that true? I don't think so."

Elder Liu walked out of the crowd, showing anger on his face and his eyes full of murderous intent.

During the battle that day, he was seriously injured by Xiaobai. If he hadn't had many healing pills on his body, he wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

Now that I finally have the opportunity to take revenge, of course I have to come here to solve the problem with the Shui family in person.

"It's you!"

The battle between Elder Liu and Xiaobai was earth-shaking. Shui Qianzhou naturally recognized Elder Liu. He was also afraid of such an immortal-level master.

Shui Lingshi: "What, do you think that you can destroy my Shui family by yourself? Don't forget that my Shui family is protected by immortal beasts."

Elder Liu laughed and said, "Hahaha... the guardian of the immortal beast? Just because you wait for mortals, you also want to own the immortal beast, don't hide it. That immortal beast is not a thing of your water family at all, but a spirit beast belonging to another young man. I'm right."

Only some direct descendants of the Shui family know about this news, but it is impossible for outsiders to understand how Elder Liu learned about it.

Shui Lingshi looked shocked and said, "How did you... know?"

Shui Qianzhou understood something and said angrily: "There are your traitors among my direct descendants of the Shui family!"

The Eighth Prince laughed: "Hahaha, so what? Your Shui family has no chance of turning around."

"Who is it, who is it..." No matter how Shui Qianzhou thought, he couldn't even think of who was a traitor.

The Eight Prince sneered and said, "It's okay to tell you, let your heart be convinced. Come over quickly. If you don't come, don't blame me for being cruel. You will kill you together at the same time."

The scene suddenly became silent. After a while, hundreds of guards rushed into the enemy camp without hesitation.

These guards are almost all guards of the inner courtyard of the Shui family. The head guard is also the confidant of the Cao family of the Shui family.

Seeing these people betrayal, Shui Qianzhou and Shui Lingshi's faces changed drastically, and the traitors were already obvious.

The traitor of the Shui family turned out to be Shui Qianzhou's favorite concubine - Cao.

When Shui Qianzhou was shocked, the Cao family had already mixed into the crowd and walked to the Eighth Princess and said, "Cao Man, the eldest daughter of the Cao family in Qingfeng City, has met the Eighth Princes."

The Eight Prince said happily: "Very good. The task assigned to you by the Prince is done well. I will fulfill my promise. After the Shui family is destroyed, your Cao family will succeed as the city lord and stay there."

Shui Qianzhou showed murderous intent on his face and shouted: "Bitch! Why... I treat you very well, why do you betray the Shui family?"

Cao Man has never looked at Shui Qianzhou from beginning to end, and I don’t know if it’s because of shame.

The Eight Princess is now content and is very willing to answer Shui Qianzhou's doubts, saying, "What? I can't figure it out, then... I will tell you with great mercy that the reason why Cao Man rebelled was because she... was the murderer who killed your first wife."

Shui Qianzhou and Shui Lingshi were stunned. The assassination 5 years ago turned out to be Cao Man's plan. Could it be that she wanted to become the official wife of the Shui family?

"No... it's impossible. At that time, there were also doubts about this bitch, but those assassins had never contacted this bitch, and this bitch had never contacted anyone else. She could not have contacted the killer." Shui Qianzhou was not stupid either. After his first wife was killed, the first target of suspicion was the many concubines in the inner courtyard.

For this reason, he investigated the actions of all concubines in detail. Cao Man was the most suspicious, and Shui Qianzhou naturally investigated in detail, but various signs showed that Cao Man had never contacted outsiders at all, and it was impossible for him to contact the killer.

Even the Cao family is impossible. Although the Cao family has some reputation in Qingfeng City, they are not strong in their own strength and there are no masters in the family.

"Those killers have nothing to do with Cao Man, because those killers are my prince's people."

“…………”

Could it be that 5 years ago, the Eight Princes had connections with the Cao family?

"Don't guess, 5 years ago, I had nothing to do with the Cao family. Back then, I just envied the warships of the Shui family because the emperor wanted to form an imperial navy and explore the boundless sea area. In order to compete for credit, I wanted to present the construction drawings of the Shui family warships to the emperor."

A few years ago, the Emperor of the Empire suddenly became interested in the boundless sea area and was preparing to secretly form a navy. After Prince Eight learned the news, in order to please the Emperor, he thought of presenting the drawings of the Mizu family warship to the Emperor to seek credit.

The Shuijia warship is not only strong, but also has very good performance. It is one of the best warships in the empire.

It was because of this warship that the Shui family had achieved military merits and obtained the title of nobles.

Therefore, the method of casting the Shui family warship has always been an unknown secret of the Shui family.

Back then, the Eight Prince had signaled to Shui Qianzhou, hoping that Shui Qianzhou could give the method of casting warships to the Eight Princes, and the Eight Princes were willing to give the Shui family a wealth.

But Shui Qianzhou pretended to be stupid and didn't take it seriously, so the matter was left alone.

In order to obtain the method of casting warships, the Eight Princes sent many masters to sneak into the water house to steal.

The masters divided into two waves, one wave sneaked into the water house to create noise, and the other wave was responsible for stealing warships to cast drawings. However, the infiltration plan was unexpected.

Because the first wave of killers accidentally slandered the Shui family's wife, it caused too much riot, and asked Shui Qianzhou to order to search and hide the entire mansion and block all the doors of the mansion. The masters hidden in the dark had no chance to steal drawings.

"That night, because the Shui family's wife was injured, a large number of masters were dispatched by the Shui family. The masters sent by the king had no chance to take action, so they could only hide in the dark and wait for the opportunity. But they never expected that they would see a big show."

The Eight Prince laughed: "Hahaha, at that time, the masters sent by the king intended to cast drawings for warships, and never thought of killing people at all, so the hidden weapons on them were all poisonous."

Shui Qianzhou was only enlightened at this time. He looked at Cao Man and said angrily: "It's you, it's the poison you put on."

"That's right, it's your good concubine. Taking advantage of the chaos in the inner courtyard, your wife was injured and applied the poison she carried with her to the hidden weapon. Cao Man is the murderer who killed your first wife! @All this is clearly seen by my subordinates."
