"Don't use water! Use a dry cloth!"

Fortunately, Xuanye was knowledgeable and knew that this was quicklime, which would generate heat when it came into contact with water, so he quickly reminded loudly.

The others followed suit in a hurry.

Jun Lintian used the shadow body technique, so the people below could not see his figure at all. They could only notice a large piece of quicklime falling from the sky.

As for Xuanye's soldiers who were higher up, they were obviously confused after seeing this scene.

Although they could see the scene below from their high vantage point, they could not hear the sounds below.

These people suddenly became chaotic, and their people were mixed up with the Second Prince's people, so they didn't dare to shoot arrows at will.

So all we can do is watch things unfold below.

What no one expected was that Jun Mengyao, dressed in black, took advantage of the panic and flew directly into the crowd, holding the second prince by the collar and flew away.

The army that Xuanye brought to attack the second prince this time was merely veterans with some experience.

But in terms of cultivation, it is not particularly high.

So when Jun Mengyao kidnapped the second prince, they could only see a black shadow flash by, and had no idea who it was or what it did.

After everyone came to their senses, Xuanye quickly asked his men to count the number of people.

He was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, so he knew clearly that no one dared to take advantage of the situation.

But he was not quite sure what the other party was trying to do by suddenly spreading quicklime.

But at this moment, Xuanye turned his head and suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait! Where's the Second Prince!"

There was no trace of the Second Prince among the dozen or so centurions.

“Escaped?!”

Xuanye was stunned. You know, all this just happened in just a few breaths.

After all, his cultivation was quite good, and after the quicklime touched his eyes, it only took him a short while to return to normal.

But who can rescue the second prince in such a short time?
Xuanye's eyes couldn't help but look at the centurions of the second prince's legion.

"Tell me! Where are the people?"

He asked coldly, "Hand over the Second Prince immediately, and I will give you an intact corpse!"

Although Xuanye looked calm on the surface, he was terrified in his heart.

You know, Emperor Wu gave him a death order. If he fails to complete the task, he will be beheaded when he returns.

Xuanye just felt a little strange, because originally he seemed to have a sure win.

The Second Prince's soldiers and guards are all a bunch of good-for-nothings and don't have such great abilities at all.

But the quicklime that fell from the sky just now was indeed strange, and there was obviously a person's voice, but he didn't know who it was.

But if you think about it carefully, it must have been for the purpose of saving the second prince.

The centurions of the Second Prince's legion heard Xuanye's words and looked at each other. Indeed, they did not see the Second Prince. They looked at each other, feeling a little horrified.

When they set out this time, they already knew that there would not be any reinforcements.

So, who rescued the second prince just now?

To be honest, they themselves didn't know what had happened because their eyes were also hurt by the quicklime.

But everyone looked at each other again, and after exchanging glances, they understood what to do.

Since the second prince has disappeared, there is a high probability that he has been rescued by someone, and they just need to buy time.

"Hahaha, if you want to know the whereabouts of His Highness, you're dreaming!" A centurion suddenly burst into laughter.

The other one glared at Xuanye and cursed: "A loser like you wants to kill the Second Prince? Dream on!"

"Give up! The Second Prince has been rescued by a master now. Forget about finding him again!"

"No matter who you are or what faction you belong to, once you come to the Great Zhou Dynasty, you can't do whatever you want!"

Xuanye ignored the scolding from these people, and instead, he and the people around him quietly watched these centurions.

He soon discovered something was wrong, and the men beside him also looked solemn.

The subordinate said solemnly: "No, they are obviously a little guilty."

Xuanye also sneered: "They don't even know where the second prince went."

"Take a hundred people with you to search, I'll wait here!"

"I want to see who can kidnap the Second Prince?"

He rode a horse and came in front of the centurions with an unhappy look on his face, then swung the sword in his hand.

The leading centurion's head fell off in an instant, rolled to the ground, and rolled a long way.

The other centurions were all shocked. They didn't expect that this man would kill people as he said.

Xuanye raised his hand and immediately called the others over: "Kill all these people for me!"

"The rest of you go out and conduct a carpet search. I am warning you, if you cannot find the Second Prince, Emperor Wu will not let any of us go when we return."

The faces of the soldiers of the Xuanwu Empire all changed, and they quickly bowed in response.

"Order!"

What no one knew was that under the pile of dead bodies, there was a slightly injured soldier of the Guards.

And he heard everything Xuanye said just now.

Only then did he understand that all this was a conspiracy of the Xuanwu Empire. The Emperor Wu had actually sent so many people to ambush in secret to kill them!

He couldn't help but think that he must not die, and he must bring this news back to the court and to His Majesty!
at the same time.

Several of Xuanye's deputy generals drew their swords from their waists and came to the sides of the centurions.

Before they could make a move, these centurions refused to surrender and rushed towards them with weapons in hand.

"Kill! Kill these bastards!"

"I'd rather die standing! The soldiers of the Second Prince and the Great Zhou Dynasty are definitely not cowards!"

"Brothers, follow me!"

However, this is just a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
They had traveled a long distance, and had just been ambushed, so their bodies were covered with wounds. At the moment they were unable to exert their full fighting power.

Even before they came in front of these people, they had already been stabbed through the heart by swords.

------

In the narrow sky.

The ground was a sea of ​​red, and the long and narrow valley was littered with corpses piled together, with almost no place to step.

Judging from the scene before us, it is not right to call it a mass grave.

After all, this kind of killing scene is extremely rare even on the battlefield.

After Xuanye sent his men out to conduct a carpet search, he did not leave but stayed in the valley.

He needs to think about who that person was and why he kidnapped the second prince. (End of this chapter)
