Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 441 Searching for the Sixth Prince

Following Lin Chuan's order, the wolf-like soldiers began to search the palace carefully, and the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets was heard everywhere. The interior was brightly illuminated by torches, and women's screams of terror continued to be heard.

The soldiers were still searching, Lin Chuan moved a chair, Da Ma Jin Dao sat there waiting for the results of the search, but his sharp eyes scanned the palace ladies and concubines surrounded by soldiers with swords He looked, but soon he looked away, because he didn't find anything.

"General, nothing was found." Soon, the search was over, and Li Qiye reported to Lin Chuan with a sullen face.

Lin Chuan frowned and asked, "Have you searched carefully?"

Li Qiye replied: "I have searched all the darkrooms and storage rooms, but the sixth prince, Long Qing, was not found."

"General, did he run away?" Thunderstorm guessed in a low voice.

"Hmph, the gate of the imperial city has been blocked by us, and it is not so easy to escape." Lin Chuan snorted coldly: "Send orders to the various ministries to carry out a blanket search of the imperial city, I don't believe that a living person just disappeared out of thin air like this gone."

Now that the main force of the Zhenxi Army is about to return, it is obviously impossible for Lin Chuan to block the Zhenxi Army from Wang Jing with this little force in his hands, but it will be different if he captures the sixth prince, Long Qing. I have taken the initiative, captured the thief first, and captured the king first. As long as the sixth prince Long Qing is in my hands, then I will deploy a hundred thousand troops to suppress the west. Not caught at all, Lin Chuan is in a bad mood now.

The imperial city was full of hustle and bustle throughout the night. The Nanchuan soldiers carrying torches searched the entire imperial city like a carpet. Every palace, every garden and pavilion was spared. The soldiers of the Zhenxi Army conducted a careful screening, but there was still no result until dawn.

After tossing and tossing the imperial city all night, there was no result at all. All the places where people could hide were searched, but the sixth prince, Long Qing, seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

"General, we searched twice in a row, but found nothing." Xiao Zhan looked a little frustrated.

Sith also had a heavy heart: "General, we have carefully identified all the personnel in the imperial city, and the sixth prince, Long Qing, was not among them.

The sky was getting brighter, and as people from all walks of life came back to report, Lin Chuan's face was extremely ugly. He invaded the imperial city so quickly and let the sixth prince Long Qing run away. Thinking that his plan to capture the thief first and the king failed, Lin Chuan was in an extremely bad mood when he had to face the Western Army of Hundred Thousand Towns alone.

"General, what do you do with the concubines and concubines in Feilong Hall?" Lei Tian came over and asked.

"Let's go to Feilong Hall." Lin Chuan strode towards Feilong Hall.Many of these concubines are relatives of Ninth Prince Long Han, so if they are not handled properly, Ninth Prince Long Han will be dissatisfied.

When Lin Chuan, who had been busy all night and his eyes were red, stepped into the Feilong Palace again, his bad mood about not catching the sixth prince Long Qing completely broke out in his heart.

"Tell me! Where is Long Qing!" Lin Chuan's face was extremely impatient, and he locked a maid's throat with one hand, staring at him with wide eyes and questioning loudly.

"I don't know, I don't know." Because Lin Chuan's arm was too strong, the maid's throat was stuck, her face was flushed red, and she couldn't speak.

"Tell me! Otherwise, I'll kill you!" Lin Chuan's voice was cold, and his body was full of murderous intent. Under the anger, Lin Chuan looked extremely terrifying, and even the soldiers who had been following Lin Chuan were as quiet as cicadas at the moment , dare not stop Lin Chuan.

Seeing that the maid was about to be strangled to death by the angry Lin Chuan, a concubine stood up from the crowd: "You let her go, I'll tell you."

Lin Chuan turned his head to look at the beautiful concubine, and loosened his hand, the maid fell to the ground, panting loudly, if the concubine took a step back, she would have already gone to see Lord Hades.

"Tell me, where is Long Qing?" Lin Chuan walked slowly to the beautiful concubine, and asked with his head close to her.

Facing the strong smell of blood emanating from Lin Chuan, the concubine took a few steps back in fear, took a deep breath, suppressed the fear and panic in her heart and said: "You want to ensure the safety of all of us, I will tell you you."

"Are you bargaining with me? Believe it or not, I ordered you all to be killed!" Lin Chuan warned coldly.

Thunderstorm made a cooperating voice: "General, it's a pity to kill them. Brothers haven't touched women for a long time. Why don't you, Heihei."

Seeing the hostile expressions on the faces of the soldiers with knives around them, the surrounding maids and concubines screamed in fear, and the concubine who was talking to Lin Chuan flashed a trace of panic on his face, he did not She didn't doubt Lin Chuan's warning, because a few months ago, she witnessed her good sister being raped to death.

"Tell me what you know, and I can let you go." Lin Chuan said.

"Really, will you really let us go?"

Lin Chuan showed an impatient look: "Are you going to say it or not—"

"There is a secret passage over there." Facing the murderous Lin Chuan, the concubine pointed to the red pillar not far away, and said with a trembling voice: "I have already said, you must ensure our safety."

"Take them all down." Lin Chuan waved his hand, and a large number of Nanchuan soldiers in strong and sharp clothes took action immediately. Regardless of the panic shouts of these court ladies and concubines, they were taken out of the palace. Lin Chuan did not intend to kill them, after all These are all members of the royal family, and he is now under the command of the Ninth Prince Long Han, so he still needs to save some face for the members of the royal family.

Under the red pillar, Thunderstorm finally found a loose floor with his own hands. As the war hammer fell, a dark hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Seeing the dark hole, Lin Chuan secretly scolded himself for being careless. Send someone to order Murong Ke outside the imperial city to seal the city gate and start martial law on the streets, while preparing to send people into the secret passage to investigate.

"General, let me go." Thunderstorm took a shield from a Nanchuan soldier, held a torch and jumped into the dark passage, followed by more than a dozen guards, and entered the dark passage.

After Thunderstorm and others entered the secret passage, there was no news. Although it had only been more than ten minutes, Lin Chuan felt that it had been as long as centuries. Finally, Lin Chuan was going to enter the secret passage in person. Although Xiao Zhan Sith and the others tried their best to persuade him, but Lin Chuan was impatient at the moment. Regardless of their objections, he led the guards into the dark tunnel.

The air in the secret passage was thin and narrow, allowing only one person to pass through. Lin Chuan and the others finally saw the light in front of them after walking around for more than 20 minutes. The house, but at the moment everyone is controlled by the thunderstorm that arrived earlier, after careful screening, they did not find the sixth prince Long Qing inside.

Just when the clues were about to be cut off, Qin Tian, ​​the deputy head of the banner, ran happily to report to Lin Chuan: "General, I have captured a prince!"

Qin Tian, ​​the deputy head of the banner, was originally a member of the imperial guards. He had lived in Wangjingcheng for a long time, so he was familiar with the nobles in Wangjingcheng. He set up checkpoints on the street according to Lin Chuan's order. It caught his attention, because the behavior of this group of refugees was too abnormal. Although the clothes they wore looked dirty, their behavior was the same as the nobles Qin Tian had seen, without the slightest sloppiness of refugees, so Immediately detained them for questioning, did not expect to catch a prince.

When Lin Chuan arrived at the checkpoint, more than 30 refugees were surrounded by heavily armed soldiers. A young man in a yellow robe was yelling at the soldiers: "I am the prince, please let me go!" , or my Brother Nine Emperors will not let you go."

"Is it the sixth prince, Long Qing?" Lin Chuan turned his head and asked a bound nobleman.

The nobleman shook his head: "It's not His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, this is the No.30 Seventh Prince."

Lin Chuan showed a look of disappointment when he heard the nobleman's answer. When his peripheral vision swept over the other 37 people squatting on the ground with the [-] princes, his gaze stayed on a person with disheveled hair. Commanded the soldiers: "Bring him to me—"

When several soldiers were about to walk into the crowd to bring out the man with disheveled hair, the rest of the refugees who had been squatting obediently on the ground quit immediately, and stood up one after another to block in front of the guards, as if they wanted to protect Who is disheveled.
