Chapter 50: Targeted
Your Highness?!
I was really shocked!
These two words are titles that can only be used by princes, and there is only one prince in Nanjing City at this moment, that is the current crown prince, the fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty who ascended the throne more than a month later, Zhu Zhanji of Ming Xuanzong!
But how did this crown prince who lived in the deep palace know about the existence of me and Xue'er, and what were you looking for when you sent these people?!
Doubts followed, I always felt as if I had overlooked something, and I was frowning and thinking about it, when I heard the Black Shadow One speak again: "Commander Zhang said that these two women are not ordinary, could it be that you have been noticed by them when you followed them out of Fangwei Zhai?"
Yes, I finally know what I have overlooked!
It's that young man, he is the crown prince Zhu Zhanji!
I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I just thought that his identity was not ordinary, but I didn't expect it to be one person under ten thousand people!
But I don't understand, what is there in me that this crown prince wants?
Since you can't figure it out, it's better to ask for an understanding, and I lowered my voice when I came to Xue'er's ear: "Wait a minute, you remove the enchantment, let's work together, and strive to take down these four people in one fell swoop!"
Xue'er nodded and said, "Okay, but I don't need my sister to do it, I'll be enough for myself" As she spoke, she got up suddenly, and her body swept out like lightning while her finger seal was waved.
Seeing the four black shadows fall to the ground before they could react, I swallowed back the slow words on the tip of my tongue.
"Alright," Cher said, looking back at me, grinning innocently.
I swallowed my saliva, 20,000 years old really didn't live in vain.
After getting out of bed and lighting the lamp, I hurriedly stepped forward to see the four men in black lying on the ground.
Although I often deal with demons and monsters, this is the first time I have encountered a night attack by mortals, and looking at these people who are unconscious on the ground, I don't know what to do for a while, so I finally decided to tie them up first.
Since I didn't have ropes with me, I had to untie the belts of the four people into a long rope, and then worked with Cher to tie them to the foot of the table, and searched them by the way.
By the time I retrieved the guard's waist tags from these four people, the young man's identity as the crown prince was confirmed.
"Can you wake them up?" I asked Xue'er, wiping the fine sweat on my forehead, "Wake them up one by one"
Xue'er squatted in front of the four of them and asked me, "No problem, which one does my sister want to wake up first?"
Judging from the performance of the four people when they came in, the Shadow Two should be the person in charge of this operation, so let's start with him, I pointed to the Shadow Two.
Xue'er immediately raised her hand, "Smack!"
Looking at the black shadow No. 2 whose cheeks were immediately red and swollen after being slapped by Xue'er, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva again, I didn't expect this little girl's way of waking up to be so simple and rude!
However, the effect was immediate, and the corners of Black Shadow No. 2's mouth twitched and took a breath of cold air, waking up!
I guess I didn't expect that I was still a knife warrior one moment, and the next moment I turned into fish meat inexplicably, and the black shadow No. 2 opened his mouth slightly after opening his eyes, and looked at me and Xue'er with a shocked face.
After admiring his shocked look of hell, I asked my first question, "What are you looking for?"
Shadow Two: "......"
I don't know if I was stupid by Xue'er's slap, or I was stupid by my situation at the moment, but after listening to my question, Black Shadow No. 2 is still the same as when he first woke up. I had to bend down and shake it in front of his eyes and ask the question again.
Shadow Two finally came back to his senses and said in horror, "Who are you?"
I already know the answer, but I think it's up to me to ask, "Who are you?"
Shadow Two was silent, and I guess he didn't dare or be embarrassed to say it.
Since the crown prince was able to send them, it means that they should have some ability, but now not only did they not get things done, but they were tied up into zongzi by our two weak women, which is really embarrassing to think about!
I didn't embarrass him, I just asked the first question again.
Black Shadow No. 2 was still silent, and I was not in the mood to accompany him to be silent, so I said coldly: "Since you don't want to say it, then I have to help you!"
I deliberately walked slowly to the table, picked out the dagger I had just captured from them, and then slowly crouched down in front of him, and shook the dagger in my hand in front of his eyes.
Shadow Two's eyes flashed when he saw the dagger in my hand, but he still refused to speak, and twisted his head to the side.
It seems that I don't cry when I don't see the coffin, I imitate the villain on TV, pull out the dagger inch by inch and say: "Do you think I use this dagger to pierce your left leg first to make you speak?" Or pierce your right leg first to make you speak?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Shadow II's legs tremble slightly, I was a little proud, and continued to threaten: "Why don't I cut off one of your ears first, anyway, I told you so much, you don't seem to hear it, and it shouldn't be much use to keep your ears!"
Shadow Two listened to me, and although his whole body trembled a little this time, he stubbornly twisted his head and refused to speak.
Seeing that he was so ignorant of current affairs, I decided to give him a little bitterness, but I took the dagger and gestured at him, but I really didn't know where to start. When facing demons and monsters, I can swing my sword without hesitation, but after all, I am a mortal in front of me, and I really can't do it.
So I raised the dagger in my hand and turned back to Xue'er and said, "Why don't you come?"
Cher nodded, and immediately bent down to take the dagger from my hand, and half-crouched down in front of Shadow Two.
Thinking of the extent of the damage caused by this girl's shots, I think it is still necessary to remind him, and hurriedly said: "He's still useful, don't hurt his life first"
Cher nodded, and then without blinking her eyes, she raised her knife and fell.
Black Shadow Two immediately responded: "Ah!"
Looking at the blood hole in Black Shadow No. 2's right leg, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, Xue'er, this girl is really ruthless.
After tasting the bitterness, I thought that this man should also know how good I am, and should be able to speak, so I asked him again, "What are you looking for?"
Not wanting to listen to my words, Black Shadow No. 2 said to me very resolutely although he had a cold sweat on his face: "If you want to kill, you can kill anything, I don't know anything!"
I was sighing in my heart, so I heard Xue'er say, "Sister, do you want to give him a knife?"
"Ahh
Looking at the blood spilled from the leg of Black Shadow No. 2, I couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly said, "No need, no need, let him faint first"
"Oh!" Cher nodded and said, "Isn't it time to wake this up?"
Seeing that Cher was pointing to Shadow One, I nodded.
It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as I clicked on this head, Xue'er turned her head and stabbed it.
Me: "......"
Seeing that Black Shadow No. 1 was violently trembling violently by this sudden knife and then stopped moving, I was suddenly startled, and hurriedly bent down to touch his pulse, beating not fast or slow, it seemed that he just fainted in pain.
I breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retrieved the blood-stained dagger from Cher's hand, "I'd better do it!"
Let the girl do it again, these unlucky ghosts are estimated to have only half a life left if they don't die.
Looking at the bloody holes in the legs of Black Shadow No. 1 and Black Shadow No. 2, I felt that torture was not suitable for me, who was kind-hearted, and I still had to think of other ways.
After getting some blood from Shadow Two's leg and smearing it on his neck and face, I jumped over Shadow Three to Shadow Four, and then reached out and pinched his middle hard.
"En......"
Shadow Four's head shook a few times and slowly opened its eyes, then let out a short scream.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't give him a knife like Cher, I just dangled the blood-stained dagger in front of his newly opened eyes.
Shadow Four looked at me and Cher in a hurry, then looked around again, and his body shook violently as his eyes fell on Shadow One and Shadow Two.
Seeing that it had caused enough visual and psychological impact on him, I put the dagger on his neck and said coldly: "What did the crown prince ask you to find, say!"
"Y-how do you know about the crown prince?!"
Hearing this, I sneered and said, "Of course your companion told me!"
Hearing this, Black Shadow Four immediately glared and said, "What?!"
I pointed at Shadow One and Shadow Two with my dagger and said, "Of course it wasn't the two of them who told me, so I've already slaughtered the two of them!"
Listening to my words, Black Shadow No. 4 shook violently again, and I put the dagger back on his neck and said lightly: "It was the one next to you who told me, so I temporarily spared his life" said that his subordinates worked hard again, and said in a cold tone: "But I don't think what this kid told me may be the truth, so I want to ask you, if you two say differently, then I can only send you to accompany your brother!"
Hearing this, Black Shadow Four trembled for about a minute before speaking, "The crown prince asked us to find a serpentine ring!"
I raised my hand in surprise and looked at the ring I was wearing, I never imagined that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had made such a big formation for the ring on my hand!
Even if this ring is as powerful as Xue'er said, Zhu Zhanji is just a mortal, could it be that he actually knows that this ring has spiritual power?!
I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I pressed the dagger in my hand hard again, and said coldly: "It seems that you are tired of life, and you dare to lie to me?!"
Black Shadow Four suddenly trembled, and said urgently: "What I said is the truth, the order we received is to bring back a serpentine ring!"
It seems that Zhu Zhanji asked them to find the ring on my hand, so he asked: "Why is he looking for this ring? If he dares to lie, he will kill you immediately!"
Black Shadow No. 4 is estimated to be not very bold on weekdays, but at this moment, he was so frightened by me, his whole body trembled like chaff, and cried: "I don't know, we are just acting on orders, Your Highness only said let us find this ring and bring it back, and also explained that we can't hurt you and your sister! I don't know anything else!"
Seeing that he was frightened like this, I thought that he really didn't know, so I took the dagger.
Looking at the ring on my finger, I couldn't help frowning, how did Zhu Zhanji know the difference between this ring? Could it be related to the spiritual power thing that Xue'er said he was carrying?!
