Chapter 1086: Final Verdict?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to ask Xue Yan anything.

Xue Yan was sure that the secret lockdown was going to be a great purge. The only off thing was that someone had sneaked into Prince Weimin’s fief, and it was the same day that the six men were brought over. He was sure that it was one of Prince Yi’s men.

This was because Prince Ying and Prince Weimin were sworn enemies. If it was any other day, if Prince Ying sent someone to secretly enter Prince Weimin’s fief, it would be seen as them being sworn enemies.

The Emperor had sent six a.s.sa.s.sins back to him to punish him. How could Prince Ying possibly be in the mood to send someone to Prince Weimin’s fief?

As for Princess Jin, he had never seen her in his previous life.

Even if he had, he never had a clear look on her face.

Everyone thought that he knew what Princess Iin looked like. This was because he and many others had personally witnessed Prince Ying stab Princess Jin to death with his own hands and push her corpse into a sea of fire, burning it beyond recognition.

However, he knew that it was not Princess Jin.

Back then, before he had his army surround Prince Ying in the sea of fire, he accidentally b.u.mped into two people who were secretly escaping with a woman who looked unconscious.

He did not get a chance to look at her face because she was facing the other way. However, he could recognize that one of the two people was Prince Ying’s trusted aide.

These two people were protecting this woman. Moreover, the moment they saw him, they were ready to fight him in order to protect this woman.

He a.s.sumed that this was Prince Yings precious daughter, Princess Jin.

It was said that Princess Jin was very skilled, and the fact that she had been knocked unconscious was most likely because it was done by Prince Ying. No ordinary person would have been able to make Princess Jin so unguarded and knock her unconscious so easily.

In addition, he had heard quite a bit about her before he had led his troops to Jingyue to capture Prince Ying.

He knew that this princess was upright and intelligent, and that many men could not compare to her. Even Prince Ying, who had become muddle-headed in his old age, no longer listened to her words. He began to raise his army and revolt, causing the people of Da Ling to suffer. Even the people in his fief began to have setbacks. She constantly persuaded the troops to stop and dealt with them. She worked very hard to make sure that her people did not suffer.

Therefore, before the two of them could even take out their swords and attack him, he pointed to a direction that was different from where they were rushing off to and told them to run in that direction.

The two of them hesitated, but they still believed him. They cupped their fists and thanked him, then hurriedly took the unconscious woman into the direction he pointed.

After that, Prince Ying stabbed a woman to death with his own hands and pretended that it was Princess Jin that went into the sea of fire. He went along with the flow and said that Princess Jin had died this way.

He wasn’t the only one who had seen Prince Ying push Princess Jin into the sea of fire. There were others who had seen it, and everyone thought the same thing, so the matter of Princess Jin’s death was closed.

Thinking of this, Xue Yan asked Zou Ba and Zou Shisi not to rush to Jingyue. He made them go and take a rest first.

Prince Ying was already purging his fiefs when Zou Yi and the other secret guards had sensed that something was amiss. If they could not stay in Jingyue any longer, they would immediately come back. If that was the case, Zou Ba and Zou Shisi would have been the last to return..
