I, make my own

Chapter 19 Wang Xihe, Strange Ambushes
Prestige Palace.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

In the study, Zhou Lan cursed angrily, with an ugly expression on his face.

"That's more than 300 monsters! How can you lose such a conspicuous target?!"

The more Zhou Lan spoke, the angrier he became, he raised his hand and threw the inkstone on the table, smashing one of the kneeling people to disfigurement.

The man trembled in pain, blood dripped from his cheeks, but he didn't dare to say a word.

As for the others, they even touched their heads to the ground, and no one dared to lift them up.

Zhou Lan stared at them bitterly for a long while before sitting back with a sullen face.

"How did you lose it, tell me!"

"Yes!"

The man in black kneeling in the middle hurriedly raised his head and replied respectfully:
"My lord, we don't know what's going on, we obviously watched them all the way, but...but after turning around three streets, the convoy caught the attention of the patrolling soldiers and Jing'an Division, and they jointly stopped them for interrogation."

"It wasn't until then that we realized that the supplies in the convoy were all ordinary supplies, and there wasn't even a single monster!"

Shi Chenghai, the head of the palace, frowned slightly, cupped his fists at Zhou Lan, and said softly: "My lord, they should have been prepared long ago, our people are not too close, and they have a chance to arrange a holiday in the alley on the way." The convoy, and then Li Daitao froze."

"Speaking of which, this Tianji building is extremely mysterious. If its stronghold is discovered so easily, the subordinates will feel a little abnormal."

"Therefore, you don't need to be too angry, the prince will have a bright future."

Zhou Lan's face turned pale, and the anger in his eyes dissipated a lot.

He naturally knew this truth, and sent someone to follow him just in case.

The reason why he was furious was actually because the nameless fire in his heart had nowhere to vent.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"My lord, the princess is here."

Zhou Lan bent her fingers and glared at the man in black kneeling on the ground.

"roll!"

"Yes, my lord calm down."

The five men in black hurriedly got up, bowed their heads and left quickly.

Zhou Lanfu turned his head again and stared at Cheng Hai.

"I'll give you three days to find out the dark man in the Tianji Building! And the concubine mother, I'll let you know!"

"Yes!"

Cheng Hai didn't feel too much pressure, because there are quite a few people who know about those three things, as long as they check one by one carefully, they can always be found out!
Not long after Cheng Hai left, a woman wearing a pink double-breasted skirt with a long jade neck and fair skin entered the study.

She is Princess Wei——Wang Xihe.

"My lord, why are you so angry?"

Wang Xihe looked at the blood-stained inkstone on the ground, frowned slightly, and looked at Zhou Lan in confusion.

It's good that she didn't mention this, but Zhou Lan's suppressed anger rose again when she asked this question, and she glared at Wang Xihe coldly with a sullen face.

"What color are you wearing today?"

Wang Xihe couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, feeling a little dazed in his heart.

Although there is no one else in the study, is this kind of question asked in this kind of place?

He slandered in his heart, but he was worried that he would offend Zhou Lan who was angry again, so he blushed and said it in a low voice.

"It's pink... If the prince wants to see it, he can go to sleep with the concubine and rest..."

Zhou Lan still had a gloomy face, unmoved.

"This king has not been happy with Xihe for five days, so Xihe is hungry and thirsty?"

Wang Xihe's pretty face changed, and she stared at Zhou Lan incredulously.

"My lord, why did you say that?!"

"Why? Hey!"

Zhou Lan sneered and gritted his teeth softly.

"What did you do on the sleeping bed before, don't you know?"

"What is the reason why the prince asked this? The concubine's body is limp, what else can she do if she doesn't sleep? It's just that she was a little bored before going to bed, so she just hummed a tune...huh?"

Wang Xihe said inexplicably, at this point, his expression froze suddenly, and then his eyes widened and he glared at Zhou Lan angrily.

"My lord! You actually suspect that my concubine is flirtatious and unfaithful to you?!"

Wang Xihe's eyes were full of inconceivability and humiliation, and his pretty face was even more blue and red, which made him feel ashamed and angry.

"Good! Good! Good! Very good!"

Wang Xihe gritted his teeth and spit out a few words of "good". After glaring at Zhou Lan hatefully, he turned around and trotted away without saying another word.

After Zhou Lan said it, she regretted it a little, and also realized that she seemed to have misunderstood Wang Xihe because of the vague words of the man in Tianjilou.

However, he is a self-righteous and lofty person, and at this time, he couldn't bear to redeem himself, let alone apologize, he just sat in his original position with a cold snort.

A quarter of an hour later, when Zhou Lan finally calmed down and was thinking about going to a concubine to rest, a maid suddenly ran in in a hurry.

"My lord, it's bad! The concubine left the mansion angrily!"

Zhou Lan was taken aback for a moment, then shrugged his nose nonchalantly.

"Why are you screaming? The princess must be missing her family, so she should go to her younger brother's residence."

"But, my lord, my concubine packed a lot of things, and the people she took away were all married from her natal family. She didn't bring any of the people in the mansion..."

The maid spoke quickly, her expression anxious.

Zhou Lan frowned, grinning and patting her temples.

"Come here! Quickly call Cheng Hailai!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, Cheng Hai hurried over.

"My lord, I heard that the princess..."

"Immediately send a team of hidden guards to chase after them, just let them protect secretly, don't show up."

"Yes!"

……

It was the hour of Haizheng, and there was only half an hour left before the midnight curfew.

On the stone road next to a secluded forest somewhere in the north of the city, a team of more than thirty people was walking slowly.

At a certain moment, a figure suddenly rushed from the front, and the team stopped in place immediately.

On the only carriage in the middle of the team, Zhou Xin frowned and asked.

"what happened?"

"Master Hui, there are two parties fighting one mile ahead!"

Xia Ze walked quickly to the side of the carriage and replied respectfully.

"Oh? How many people are there? Do you know the origin?"

Zhou Xin asked in surprise.

"There are still more than [-] people left on the defending side, and more than [-] people on the attacking side."

"The attacking side has completely covered up its appearance, and there is no sign, so it is temporarily impossible to judge the origin. However, the defending side has a female family member, and looking at the sign of the carriage, it seems to be someone from the Weiwang Mansion..."

"In addition, there are also concealers among the defenders, who should be secret guards."

The outposts who went out to explore the road were obviously quite experienced, and this was the only way to get so much information in a short period of time.

"Oh? Prince Wei's Mansion, female relatives... Hehe, this is really interesting."

Zhou Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and within a very short period of time, he had thought of several ways to disrupt the situation.

However, the specifics will not be determined until the immediate troubles are resolved.

"Xia Ze."

"exist!"

"You take half of the people there in person, except for the people in the car, the rest of the people on both sides will be wiped out!"

"Remember, no one alive can escape!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Xin wasn't too worried about whether Xia Ze could complete the task.

You know, the Tianjiwei beside him is the most powerful among the "unknown people", and Xia Ze is even a ninth-rank master.

Unless there are also ninth-rank masters there, otherwise it is unlikely that there will be accidents.

But since the battle between the two sides is not one-sided, it means that there are no ninth-rank masters among them.

As for each of the two sides having a ninth-rank expert, the chances of this are too small, after all, it is just an ambush against the female family members of the palace.

……

A quarter of an hour later, when Zhou Xin's carriage arrived on the battlefield, the battle was over.

Stepping off the carriage, looking at the bloody scene in front of him, Zhou Xin's expression under the mask did not fluctuate.

"My lord, it's all settled. No one has escaped. Every corpse has been repaired to make sure there are no omissions."

Hearing Xia Ze's report, Zhou Xin nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the woman leaning against the wheel of the bloody carriage not far away.

The woman was wearing a pink double-breasted skirt and a red silk cloak on the outside. Although her face was not clearly visible, her figure looked pretty good.

At this moment, the woman was leaning there motionless, apparently knocked out.

"Do you know her identity?"

"Master Hui, she is... Princess Wei Wang Xihe..."

Xia Ze responded softly, with a strange expression on his face.

Not long ago, they sent people to investigate Princess Wei's night activities, unexpectedly, they saw themselves very soon...

Zhou Xin couldn't help being taken aback, his eyes revealing surprise.

He thought it was Zhou Lan's concubine, but he didn't expect that it was Princess Wei!
"interesting."

Zhou Xin spit out two words with a smile, and continued to ask questions while walking towards Wang Xihe.

"Where is the origin of the attacker? Have you found anything?"

"Master Hui, yes, and it's rather bizarre..."

"Strange? Tell me."

"Yes! My lord, we found the imprints and badges of the Dark Scale Guards on eight of them, but on the head of the late eighth-rank person, we found the guardian token of the Nine Nether Demon Sect!"

Zhou Xin couldn't help but pause, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The Dark Scale Guard is a dark guard raised by the General's Mansion and directly under the General.

It is not surprising that they appear here, after all, the two parties are hostile factions.

But what the hell is the protector of the Nine Nether Demon Cult?

Did the Nine Nether Demon Cult collude with the Great General? ? ?
While Zhou Xin was thinking rapidly, Xia Ze spoke again.

"My lord, there is one more strange thing."

"The attacker has clearly gained the upper hand, and they only need to kill the last seven or eight guards to succeed. But they stopped at the last moment and wanted to evacuate right away. They didn't even want to take their own corpses."

"The subordinates were worried about being taken away by them, so they didn't have time to think about it at the time, so they directly ordered to enter."

"Ok?"

Zhou Xin's eyes flashed, and he said thoughtfully: "But you were discovered?"

Xia Ze thought for a while, then shook his head hesitantly.

"Shouldn't be, the young master is also aware of our ability to hold back and hide, and there is no ninth-rank powerhouse among them."

"It seems that there is only one possibility."

Zhou Xin held his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

"Their real purpose is not to kill or capture Wang Xihe alive, but to send the corpse!"

"Send the corpse?"

Xia Ze was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up suddenly.

"My lord, you are saying that the real intention of their ambush this time is to leave the corpses of those dark scale guards here?"

Zhou Xin cast an appreciative look and nodded slightly.

"That's right, keep talking."

"In that case, it seems that the real mastermind behind this ambushes should be the Nine Nether Demon Sect, and their purpose is to provoke a fight between the prime minister's line and the general's line?"
