Chapter 390 Liu Su Silences the Witness

It's late at night.

In the Yangxin Hall, it rained heavily for most of the night, and finally it gradually became lighter and stopped in the second half of the night.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the hall.

The disgusting smell of blood filled the air and wouldn't go away for a long time.

Surrounded by ruins and craters, the once glorious and luxurious palace has become a purgatory on earth.

The remaining imperial guards were cleaning up the battlefield, methodically clearing away the corpses outside the central hall of the courtyard.

In the hall, Li Cunning, dressed in brocade and white robes, was still sitting in front of the soft couch. The flickering lights made his face look even paler.

He looked absently outside the hall, wondering what he was thinking, and there was a bit of worry in his brows.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have captured all the rebels tonight!"

The general in black armor stood respectfully in front of Li Cunning, reporting on the situation tonight.

"The third prince had an affair with the Imperial Guards General Sun Wu at the South Gate. He entered the palace from the South Gate and tried to control the Imperial Guards in the palace. His subordinates waited for a long time and fulfilled their mission to catch them all..."

"The garrison in the city had already evacuated in accordance with His Highness's order. When the rebels broke into the military camp, they were caught in a trap... There is no news from the city yet, but I think it's a trap..."

"Together with many rebel ministers including the third prince, we have also captured them. The palace in the capital is safe..."

Li Cijing listened quietly to the reports of his subordinate generals, with no emotion on his face.

This result was already within his expectation.

Or perhaps it could be said that this was originally a game he had set up a long time ago. From the beginning to the end, the third prince had no chance.

Even without Situ Yan, he would have absolutely no chance of success.

"Ahem!"

Li Cunning coughed twice and looked weaker. He waved his hand: "You guys can go down first."

"yes!"

After the generals in the palace left, Li Cunning slowly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man not far away in the room.

"Thanks a lot."

Situ Yan lowered his head and said respectfully, "It is my subordinate's duty to serve His Highness."

Li Cunning smiled and said, "Without you, I don't know how much trouble tonight would have caused."

"You have really worked hard these years!"

Situ Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is wise. His Highness the Third Prince did not listen to dissuasion and insisted on going his own way. His subordinates have tried to dissuade him many times, but His Highness the Third Prince remained unmoved..."

Before making the decision, Situ Yan had also tried to persuade the third prince. However, the third prince obviously couldn't listen.

For Situ Yan, he had anticipated the ending from the beginning. The third prince had no idea what kind of opponent he was facing.

Situ Yan didn't know how many back-ups His Highness the Crown Prince had, but he knew that His Highness the Crown Prince's people were everywhere.

From the beginning, the third prince had no chance of winning!

But he had no choice!

He could only silently follow His Highness the Third Prince and watch him step into the abyss.

Until tonight…

"That's his own choice, Gu has given him many opportunities!"

Li Cunning's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Your Highness..."

Situ Yan seemed to have thought of something and stopped talking.

"Tell me?" Li Cunning glanced at him.

Situ Yan was silent for a moment, and then asked: "His Royal Highness, the Third Prince, has committed a heinous crime this time. How do you plan to deal with him, Your Highness?"

Li Cunning did not speak, just raised his head and looked at him quietly.

Situ Yan's heart sank and he said: "The third prince tried to kill his father and brother, and he deserves death... But after all, he is your compatriot, Your Highness. If you kill him, Your Highness, I'm afraid it will leave a bad reputation... "

Li Cunning narrowed his eyes: "You want to plead for him?"

Situ Yan fell to his knees with a plop, sweating profusely: "I don't dare!"

"How to deal with him has to be decided by the father. I have no right to deal with him!"

Li Cunning calmed down his emotions slightly and stared at Situ Yan, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face.

"You have been with the Third Prince these years, and he has placed great trust in you. Are you aware of all his plans?"

Situ Yan didn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly asked this, but he still nodded: "Exactly, I have informed His Highness all the purposes and plans of His Highness the Third Prince..."

"Yeah?"

Li Cunning slowly stood up from the soft couch, dressed in a brocade and white robe, which looked extremely dazzling in the dark night.

He calmly looked at Situ Yan who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly said: "Then, why didn't you inform me in advance about the rebellion in the north?!"

As soon as these words came out, Situ Yan trembled all over and his eyes widened in shock.

…

Night, in the imperial city.

There was light rain floating in the sky, pattering.

Inside and outside the brightly lit palace, rapid footsteps came and went.

In the deep alley, rows of heavily armed imperial guards were escorting the surviving rebels to the prison.

This rebellion was eventually put down. Most of the people who participated in the rebellion died, and the few remaining survivors were taken to the sky prison.

The fate that awaits them is self-evident.

Guaranteed fun for all nine tribes!

There was a heavy atmosphere in the air. Occasionally, you can still hear the screams and wails of the escorted rebels, as well as the desperate sounds of painful cries.

The rebellion failed!

This is the end!

Among the crowd, the third prince, with his hair disheveled, his body in a mess, and his eyes blank, was escorted by dozens of fully armed imperial guards and rushed to the prison!

Just behind these dozens of imperial guards, a figure followed silently.

In the darkness, she concealed her figure and approached slowly.

Approaching!

Just as these dozens of imperial guards passed through an alley in the palace, she took action silently.

With a flash of cold light in her hand, the long sword was unsheathed, and the figure turned into a residual shadow and rushed straight into the crowd.

The speed was extremely fast, like a meteor!

In an instant, the two guards closest to them were easily cut in the throat by this cold light before they even reacted.

Died tragically on the spot!

"Is there an assassin?!"

As soon as this movement came out, the rest of the imperial guards were alert.

No one expected that at this time, someone would dare to assassinate? !

"Protect the third prince, stop the assassin!"

The next moment, the rest of the imperial guards present drew their swords in unison, lined up around the third prince, and stared vigilantly.

The third prince, who had been dazed, raised his head slightly.

Assassin?

Where did the assassin come from? !

In the darkness, the black shadow, who was ready to kill with one strike, quickly retreated and hid in the darkness. When the imperial guards in front of her were ready, she launched another sneak attack.

"Swish!"

The sharp sound of sword flowers pierced the air and swept towards the third prince in the crowd.

"Stop her!"

A sharp shout sounded, and the imperial guards stood in front of the black shadow in unison, trying to stop her.

But as soon as they met, these imperial guards felt a sharp cold wind whistling and instantly knocked them away.

"Bang!"

The black shadow, holding a sword, rushed into the crowd like a meteor.

These imperial guards, who were extraordinary and had strong martial arts skills, fell down without even seeing the other party's appearance under the impact of this black shadow.

No one could stop the sharp cold light wherever it went!

"There is a master!"

The imperial guards soon found something wrong!

The assassin's martial arts skills were very high!

But by the time they reacted, it was too late.

The imperial guards in the formation were instantly torn open. The black shadow rushed into the formation, strolling in the garden as if entering an empty space.

The cold light in his hand passed by, and no one dared to approach.

The black shadow did not want to fight at all, and killed a bloody path and went straight to the third prince in the crowd.

"Stop her!!"

A sharp shout sounded.

This must not let her rescue the third prince!

At this moment, the third prince finally came to his senses. He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him who rushed into the crowd and killed a bloody path towards him.

Who is this?

Could it be...

is here to save him? !

As if realizing something, the third prince's eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, he knew that they would not go back on their words!

Still, there is still hope!

At this moment, the desperate Third Prince seemed to have grasped the last straw, and hope rekindled in his eyes!

"Come and save..."

The Third Prince wanted to speak with a hoarse throat.

But before he finished speaking, it seemed to be cut off.

In his sight, he saw the black shadow masked figure in front of him, walking towards him quickly.

From the figure and temperament, it seems to be a woman!

But it doesn't matter, what matters is...

The look in this woman's eyes!

When the Third Prince looked into the eyes of the masked black shadow, his heart trembled suddenly!

He looked into a pair of cold and murderous eyes, cold and resolute!

The cold made the Third Prince tremble in this winter, and suddenly reacted!

No!

This is not to save him!

But to... kill him! !

Silence? !

The Third Prince was startled, and he suddenly remembered some terrible idea, and his face turned pale again.

They want to silence him? !

At this moment, the third prince said in fear: "Quick, stop her, she wants to kill me!"

The sudden life-and-death crisis made the third prince's instinctive desire to survive emerge.

But at this moment, Liu Su was approaching.

She had no expression on her face, and broke through the obstruction of the imperial guards with a sword, and killed the third prince.

Looking at the third prince in front of her, who was in a mess and terrified, and who was not as elegant as before, looking at her in fear, she subconsciously wanted to retreat and avoid.

But at this moment, there was no way to retreat!

The imperial guards around him had no time to save her.

Liu Su had no expression on her face and raised the long sword in her hand. Her mission goal tonight was to kill the man in front of her.

Liu Su raised the sword, and the sword fell. The cold light passed by and went straight to the throat of the third prince.

She always killed people in a straightforward manner.

"Ding!"

The expected scene of the third prince's head falling to the ground did not appear.

Liu Su's eyes suddenly focused.

Just as she drew her sword, a thin figure appeared in front of the Third Prince.

This was a short, skinny man, like a skinny monkey, wearing a pair of gloves made of special materials, and blocked Liu Su's sword.

The swords collided, and the cold sword collided on the gloves, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

The thin-faced monkey seemed to have suffered a lot of impact, and took a few steps back, his face pale, and his teeth bared.

His eyes were horrified!

"What a powerful woman!"

"You almost ruined the big thing!"

The face of the thin-faced monkey changed slightly, as if he didn't expect that the woman's martial arts were so powerful!

Liu Su stared at this person coldly and frowned suddenly. This person seemed familiar.

However, she did not hesitate at all and approached with the sword again. Her target was the third prince, and she would kill him first!

"Third prince, be careful, go!"

The face of the thin-faced monkey changed. He did not expect that this woman's method was so straightforward. She only wanted to kill the third prince and did not give him any chance to delay time.

The third prince survived a life, as if he had survived a disaster. Looking at the thin-faced monkey in front of him, his eyes were full of doubts. However, the instinct for survival made him run back in a mess.

At the same time, Liu Su's sword came again.

The face of the thin-faced monkey was also pale. He gritted his teeth suddenly and waved his boxing gloves to try to stop her steps.

"Ding!"

Another crisp collision sound was heard.

The thin-faced monkey was directly blown away by the huge internal force, fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, and trembling all over.

He struggled to get up, looked down, and saw that his hands were covered with blood. The gloves in his hands, which should have been invulnerable to swords and knives, were now broken.

His hands trembled, and he felt numb all over. His hands lost strength for a short time.

"Too cruel!"

The thin-faced monkey was pale. The opponent's martial arts were too high!

He couldn't bear it at all and almost lost his life here. Seeing Liu Su approaching again, the thin-faced monkey turned around without hesitation, got up and ran!

He had tried his best!

Who would have thought that there would be a top master of at least quasi-second rank here? !

No one told him in advance? !

If it weren't for his martial arts improvement some time ago and the protection of such a rare pair of gloves, his hands would have been cut off just now.

If he didn't run, he would die here!

The thin-faced monkey was extremely agile and disappeared into the darkness in a flash.

Although he failed to stop Liu Su, he successfully delayed time. When Liu Su wanted to chase the third prince again, the third prince had successfully hidden behind the imperial guards.

At the same time, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the alley. It was obviously the fight just now that attracted the attention of the guards outside.

At the same time, several masters of the inner family with strong auras in the darkness were converging here.

Liu Su's face changed slightly.

Originally, no one could stop her in a sneak attack. She killed the third prince with one blow and then retreated safely. No one could stop her.

Unexpectedly, this sudden appearance of the thin-faced monkey disrupted her plan.

At present, the palace guards have surrounded her, and there are many masters among them. If she is delayed, she may not be able to leave tonight.

Even if she is confident, she dare not say that she can fight against the masters in the entire palace.

And now, the other party is on guard, and it is impossible to kill the third prince again.

Thinking of this, Liu Su did not hesitate any more and turned to retreat.

"The assassin ran away!"

"Catch her, don't let her run away!"

"Emergency alert... There are still assassins in the palace, everyone be careful, seal the palace gates, don't let anyone out!"

"..."
