Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 249

Chapter 249 Mutated Regeneration
Everyone in the room had stiff expressions, embarrassed faces, and terrified gazes.

How could there be officers and soldiers?

They didn’t know how many years it would take for an officer and soldier to be investigated in the West City, but how could there be an officer and soldier here now?

Or was it heading straight for their courtyard?

Mama Zhao’s expression was the most embarrassing. She walked over to Zhou Jingyan with a surprised expression and knelt down without saying a word. “Noble lady, please, save us, save us …”

Not to mention the business they were doing, just that there were still two corpses lying in this room today, this matter could not be settled properly.

Although they weren’t the ones who killed them, if they died here, they wouldn’t be able to entrust it to them.

As for the noble lady in front of him, as long as he said something, he might be able to avoid this calamity.

Zhou Jingyan looked at Mama Zhao, who was kneeling at his feet. His expression was a little impatient, and he secretly became vigilant in his heart.

Today’s matter was definitely not done by County Lord Huining. Thinking about it, County Lord Huining was also set up by someone, so he was lured to come here.

This matter had been planned by someone from the beginning to the end. This scheme was intertwined, causing people to unconsciously fall into a trap. Such a large sum of money was definitely not something a brainless person like Hui Ning could do.

However, who was it? Just in time, he could grasp his temper and make this interlocking plan.

Now was not the time to think about this. Zhou Jingyan calmed himself down and looked at the two dead people lying on the ground with a blank expression. His gaze was tightly knitted, “Let’s deal with these two people first.”

Not to mention how we will investigate the case later, just seeing these two corpses alone will not be so easy to uncover today’s matter.

Since someone had specially set up this trap for him, he had to think of a way to break it.

However, it was too late to think about how to break the situation.

Hearing that, Zhang Qing frowned. He took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom and quickly poured it on one of the people. The medicine spilled on the person’s body and Er Mei’s body quickly melted into a pool of blood.

However, at this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open. The door slammed heavily against the door frame behind it, producing a “bang” sound.

After the door swayed left and right, it landed on the ground again with a bang.

The imperial guards who kicked open the door shouted anxiously, “Stop!”

The other guard turned to look at the young man in a navy green robe who was following behind him. “Your Highness, please.”

Mama Zhao originally thought that the noble person in front of her would intercede. The noble person would destroy the corpse and exterminate the traces. Those people would definitely have nowhere to trace what happened today. However, she never expected that the person who came would be the current Crown Prince’s Palace, Zhou Jingchen.

Zhou Jingchen strode in. Immediately, he saw two corpses on the ground. One of them was turning into blood at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this moment, Zhang Qing was still holding the medicine bottle in his hand, wanting to pour the medicine onto the other corpse.

That Zhang Qing’s reaction was extremely quick. Seeing that someone had already entered, he was so anxious to put the medicine bottle into his embrace.

At the same time, Zhou Jingyan also moved. He quickly walked forward and kicked the man away. He coldly said, “How dare you? Who are you? How dare you destroy the corpse!”

Zhang Qing also quickly understood Zhou Jingyan’s thoughts. He hurriedly turned around and fought with Zhou Jingyan. The two of them fought inseparably. For a time, wood chips flew everywhere in the room.

Looking at this chaotic scene, Mama Zhao couldn’t hold back and fainted when the Crown Prince, Zhou Jingchen, ordered them to surround the house and the courtyard.

After Zhou Jingchen entered the room, he sized up the surroundings. His eyes were tightly knitted together and he coldly instructed, “You guys, help His Highness the Third Prince at this moment. Don’t hurt His Highness the Third Prince.”

With his orders, a few imperial guards immediately rushed forward and joined the battle.

Since Zhang Qing could be Zhou Jingyan’s hidden guard, his intelligence and martial power were naturally excellent. He swayed his hand and stabbed towards Zhou Jingyan. This sword had just stabbed Zhou Jingyan’s shoulder.

Zhou Jingyan’s expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said with difficulty, “Grab … grab!”

However, before he could finish his sentence, he fainted.

Seeing that Zhou Jingyan had fainted, Zhang Qing saw that half of the Imperial Guards had gone to support Zhou Jingyan. He had just given himself a chance. With a fierce sword strike, he swayed his hand and grabbed the window.

The Crown Prince frowned tightly and immediately instructed, “Take good care of the Third Prince. Quickly call the doctor. The others, quickly capture the assassin!”

The Imperial Guards were well-trained. Some of them took care of Zhou Jingyan. Even if two Imperial Guards went out to call for a doctor, on the other side, there were quite a few Imperial Guards running behind to hunt down the assassins.

However, Zhang Qing did have some difficulties in running at this moment.

Zhang Qing had just escaped from the windowsill when a figure suddenly descended from the roof, blocking Zhang Qing’s path.

Zhou Jingxu wore a pale green robe and held a longsword in his hand. Although he was not much taller than the longsword, he held the longsword firmly without the slightest tremor.

Zhou Jingxu snorted coldly when he saw that the person was about to escape. “How dare you kill someone in broad daylight? Let’s see how Yours Truly captures you.”

As he spoke, he immediately rushed forward and fought with Zhang Qing, but he did not seem cowardly at all.

Yun Xiao, who was on the tree, felt a headache when she saw this. This Zhang Qing was someone that Zhou Jingyan had focused on nurturing, and his hand was excellent in all aspects. Zhou Jingxu, a little boy under ten years old, actually dared to hold a longsword in front of him. He really didn’t know the heavens and earth were thick.

Yun Xiao’s heart ached from anger, and Zhou Jingxu was also having a hard time.

The scald on his arm hadn’t been completely healed yet. Normally, he would have no problem holding the sword five times or a few times. But now, he was already injured. After holding the sword for a long time, he immediately had a difference of superiority and inferiority.

He felt the tiger’s mouth go numb. If he didn’t come to the rescue, he felt that he would die here.

At this time, he was extremely regretful that he had jumped off the beam so impulsively.

Seeing that the sword was stabbing towards his chest, Zhou Jingxu could only roll on the ground and dodge this move. However, before he could get up, Zhang Qing’s sword had already slashed towards him.

The sword was raised high up, and under the sunlight, it emitted a gloomy and cold light that reflected on Zhou Jingxu’s eyes.

Zhou Jingxu reflexively raised the sword in his hand to block the threatening sword. However, the sword in his hand shattered at this moment, breaking apart from the middle.

Zhang Qing sneered as he raised the sword in his hand and stabbed at Zhou Jingxu.

At that moment, a long sword suddenly flew over and blocked Zhang Qing’s castration.

At this moment, many guards with swords ran over from the front. When those guards saw the scene in front of them, their brows broke into cold sweat. If they came any later, the Emperor’s favorite prince would die here. At that time, none of them would be able to live.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly raised his sword to block it.

Soon, the Imperial Guards and Zhang Qing began to fight. Only then did Zhou Jingxu let out a sigh of relief and looked up at the only big tree in the courtyard. However, at this moment, there were no traces of Yun Xiao on the tree.

He was certain that the sword that saved his life just now had flown over from this tree.

Since Yun Xiao had left, there was no need for him to worry.

His eyes shone as he looked at Zhang Qing. He had seen everything in the room just now. Everything was done by Zhou Jingyan. He didn’t expect that the most filial third brother, who usually pretended to be filial, would be so ruthless when he attacked.

However, as a teenage soul, he naturally knew that if he couldn’t capture Zhang Qing and find any evidence, Zhou Jingxu would not only not be convicted, he would also be beaten backwards.

Thinking of this, a light flashed in Zhou Jingxu’s eyes.

Today, no matter what, he had to capture Zhang Qing.

“All of you, serve dessert and capture it alive! It’s fine if you get hurt.”

With Zhou Jingxu’s words, the crowd no longer hesitated.

“Ninth brother, why are you here?” When Zhou Jingchen heard the sounds of fighting in the front yard, he immediately came here. He saw a small figure among the group of figures. Even though his face turned cold, it was as if it was not an agreement at all.

Zhou Jingxu also had a surprised expression, “Brother Crown Prince, you’re here too.”

Zhou Jingchen strode over and looked at Zhou Jingxu’s body. Seeing that he was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhou Jingxu said a few more words before asking, “Brother Crown Prince, what happened before?”

“Then Mama Zhao and Mama Hui have already been captured. Some of the two women who died have already recognized them. As long as the murderer is caught, they can be convicted.” Zhou Jingchen’s tone was extremely heavy as he spoke of the murderer.

Zhou Jingxu nodded heavily and looked at the field with Zhou Jingchen. He saw that Zhang Qing had been in a stalemate with the Imperial Guards and his expression was extremely cold. If this continued, how could he catch Zhang Qing?

Fortunately, a few more Guards Legion Corps came from the front yard to join the battle. Only then did the situation relax a little, and the advantage had already fallen in the direction of the Guards Legion Corps.

Within a few rounds, there were already many wounds on Zhang Qing’s body. These wounds were all covered in blood. In just a short moment, there was a messy patch of red blood on the ground.

Not long after, Zhang Qing finally couldn’t hold on and was kicked to the ground, pointing his sword at his neck.

Zhang Qing revealed a hint of a sneer. When the Imperial Guards stepped forward to capture the man, they bit the poison that had been hidden in their mouths.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingxu immediately understood Zhang Qing’s intentions and said anxiously, “Hurry up and stop him! We can’t let him die!”

The Imperial Guards rushed forward and opened Zhang Qing’s mouth. However, it was too late. Zhang Qing had already spat out black blood and died.

Zhou Jingxu’s expression was cold. They had wasted so much effort and were waiting for them here. Who would have thought that if someone caught them, they would still be killed?

How could a dead man identify an accomplice?

But there was nothing they could do.

Zhou Jingchen stepped forward to inspect it. Zhang Qing is indeed dead. He frowns. Seeing Zhou Jingxu looking at him with a gloomy expression, he hurriedly says with relief, “Ninth Brother, don’t worry. We just need to carry someone to the Third Prince’s Mansion. As long as someone recognizes Zhang Qing as someone from the Third Prince’s Mansion, even if he doesn’t admit it, it won’t do. Besides, there’s still a mother in this courtyard alive.”

Zhou Jingxu had no choice but to nod.
