"You better not lie to me." Jianchen glared at the old eunuch and threatened.
The old eunuch's body trembled slightly and his entire body fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with fear as he said in a trembling voice, "This servant wouldn't dare, this servant wouldn't dare."
"Where did the second prince go?" Jianchen believed that with the second prince's character, he must have exaggerated the matter in front of the king of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom and nearly caused a calamity to befall the Changyang Prefecture. Therefore, Jianchen would definitely not let the second prince off. Moreover, back in the palace of the Kingdom of Gesun, Jianchen and the second prince had some grudges.
"The second prince, the second prince, the second prince left the palace two days ago. This servant heard from His Majesty that he seemed to have gone to the Luoyun Kingdom." The old eunuch's voice trembled as he answered Jianchen's question.
"What?! The second prince has already left the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom? " Jianchen frowned slightly. If the second prince had really left the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, it wouldn't be easy to find him.
"Yes, yes. This servant heard it from His Majesty. It … it shouldn't be false." The old eunuch said.
Jianchen frowned and pondered for a while. Then, he had two soldiers from the Eastern Deity Sword Legion take the old eunuch away.
"This second prince is quite clever. I didn't expect him to escape. Jianchen, what do you plan to do?" Ming Dong asked. He also held a grudge against the second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.
"I won't let him go, but there's no need to rush right now. Once we figure out the second prince's whereabouts, we can come up with a plan. Let's wait here for now. The people who escaped through the secret tunnel will be brought here very soon," Jian Chen said.
Currently, the palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was in chaos. Although the king of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had been captured and the palace had been occupied, there were still tens of thousands of imperial guards in the palace.
Although a large portion of the imperial guards had surrendered, there were still a few loyal imperial guards who fought with their lives on the line. They fought fiercely with the soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion, causing the sounds of fighting to ring out everywhere in the palace.
However, how could these imperial guards be a match for the elite troops of the Qin Empire? Although there were a few Earth Saint Masters among the imperial guards, the Eastern Deity Sword Legion also had them, and their numbers were several times greater than the imperial guards. Therefore, although the resistance of the imperial guards were fierce, they were powerless and easily defeated by the Eastern Deity Sword Legion..
........ with the Eastern Deity Sword legion of the Qin Empire's Deity Sword Legion of the Heavens and Deity Sword Legion of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion only suffered with the Deity pay..
After completely defeating the resistance in the palace, the soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion also carried out a final clean-up of the palace. However, they also obeyed Jianchen's orders and only captured the members of the imperial family and a few important people. They did not make things difficult for the maids and servants.
Under this carpet like search, many of the extremely hidden basements of the palace were searched. They discovered a large number of nobles hiding inside, and in the end, they even discovered an extremely hidden secret passage. Afterwards, the soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion immediately formed groups and searched along the secret passage. Moreover, with the Earth Saint Masters leading the way, they carefully and cautiously searched inside.
Not long after, they reached the end of the secret passage and captured over a thousand members of the imperial family who had been trapped inside due to the collapse of the passage. They were all escorted to the central hall to await the Imperial Protector's orders.
In the central hall of the palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, there was an extremely spacious area outside the hall. At this moment, there were over two thousand members of the imperial family in various attire kneeling there. There were men and women, old and young, and all of them had faces of fear as their bodies trembled. Everyone thought that it would be difficult for them to survive. The fear of death filled their hearts, causing many of them to sob softly.
This was because on the Tian Yuan Continent, all the rulers and subjects of a fallen nation would be mercilessly killed by the enemy. Even the concubines and children of the king were no exception. Very few of them would survive. This was a method of eliminating the source of trouble.
Around the members of the imperial family, several hundred soldiers in silver-white armor stood there like statues. They formed a circle around the two thousand members of the imperial family who were kneeling on the ground.
Jianchen calmly stared at the group of people kneeling on the ground and said, "Next, I will ask you a few questions. The first person to answer will be immediately released and will keep his life."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Soon after, they were filled with excitement. Their originally dead hearts were reignited with the flames of hope. Although Jianchen seemed extremely young and they did not know who Jianchen was, they were not idiots. Their eyes were bright as snow. Seeing so many people of high status and Qin Wuming and his sons standing behind Jianchen, they knew that he was the leader of this group of people. Such a great figure would always keep his word. In front of so many people, how could he joke with a group of prisoners like them?
"How many princes does the king of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom have in total?" Jianchen immediately asked the first question.
"Three!"
"Three!"
"There are three!"
…
As soon as Jianchen finished speaking, many people scrambled to answer. Their voices were extremely noisy, but the content was completely the same. Now that the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had reached its end, in order to survive, they had already tossed their loyalty to the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom to the winds.
Seeing that the effect was actually much better than he had expected, Jianchen could not help but reveal a satisfied smile. He said, "Very good, everyone is very cooperative. If you continue to cooperate, I might be happy and release everyone."
"Sir, is what you said true? If we cooperate with you, are you really willing to release all of us? "A voice rang out from the crowd. His voice was filled with satisfaction and concealed excitement.
Jianchen had a gentle smile on his face, but in the eyes of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom's royal family, this smile was extremely terrifying. It was like the smile of a demon.
Jianchen pointed to the group behind him and said, "Everyone has seen it, right? The people around me are either the monarch of the Kingdom of Gesun or the commander-in-chief of the Qin Empire's army. In front of so many people, how could I speak without thinking and not keep my promise?"
Jianchen's words had undoubtedly reassured them. Perhaps they did not have enough faith in the monarch of the Kingdom of Gesun, but it was different for the commander-in-chief of the Qin Empire's army. Such a status was even more intimidating than the monarch of the Kingdom of Gesun. His status was much higher than the monarch of the Kingdom of Gesun.
And now, even the commander-in-chief of the Qin Empire's army could only stand behind this young man. It was easy to imagine just how high this young man's status in the Qin Empire was.
Jianchen continued, "Of course, I will only let a few people stay."
The meaning behind Jianchen's words caused the two thousand people kneeling on the ground to immediately think of the princes of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom and some of their direct relatives.
"I wonder if the princes of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom are here?" Jianchen asked.
"Yes, yes, he is here! He is the First Prince!"
"This is the Third Prince!"
…
As soon as Jianchen's words fell, many people immediately pointed out the First Prince and the Third Prince. The two princes' faces instantly paled, without a trace of blood.
"Bring them out!" Jianchen ordered in a low voice. Immediately, a few soldiers in silver-white armor pointed out the princes and forcefully brought them to Jianchen.
Jianchen sized up the two princes. Perhaps they were hiding their identities, wearing the clothes of a servant. Their clothes were stained with mud from the tunnels, and their hair was disheveled. They looked like beggars on the streets. Of the two princes, one looked to be nearing thirty years old, while the other looked to be in his twenties. They looked about the same age as Jianchen.
The two princes stood in front of Jianchen with their heads lowered, trembling with fear. They did not even dare to look at Jianchen.
"You are the First Prince and Third Prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom?" Jianchen asked.
"Yes … yes!"
The two princes were greedy and afraid of death. They did not possess any pride. When faced with Jianchen's question, they trembled as they answered.
"Tell me, where did the Second Prince go?" Jianchen asked.
"He went to the Sunset Kingdom." The one who spoke was the First Prince. He did not hesitate to reveal the Second Prince's whereabouts. Although he was related to the Second Prince by blood, he did not have a good relationship with the Second Prince. Who knew how many small conflicts they had in secret? Naturally, he wished for the Second Prince to die.
Jianchen frowned slightly and asked, "What did the Second Prince go to the Sunset Kingdom for?"
"I … I don't know. I'm afraid that only … only Royal Father knows the answer to this matter. If you want to know, then … then go ask him." The First Prince stammered, pushing all the blame to the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom's King.
Jianchen muttered to himself for a while and said, "Take the two princes away and keep a close watch. As for this group of people, check their spatial belts and spatial rings. Then, let them all go."
The two princes were taken away. Then, the two thousand or so members of the royal family were all searched by the soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion. As a wealthy kingdom, the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom's wealth was much greater than the Kingdom of Gesun. The total wealth of these royal family members was also a terrifying figure.
Jian Chen did not kill them all. He left a path of survival for the members of the imperial family. He only took away most of their wealth, leaving behind a small portion for them to survive. Afterwards, he kept his promise and let them all go.
After dealing with the two thousand royal family members, Jianchen turned to Qin Wuming and his two sons and said, "Qin Wutian, immediately take a group of people to the Sunset Kingdom to pursue the Second Prince who escaped. You must capture him." This matter could be said to have arisen entirely because of the Second Prince. Jianchen would definitely not let the Second Prince off.
"Yes! I'll immediately mobilize the men. " Qin Wutian replied and immediately went to mobilize the troops. Then, he led a small elite group of a hundred people to the Sunset Kingdom.
At this moment, a soldier in silver armor came to Jianchen and knelt on one knee. He said, "Reporting to the Imperial Protector, Lord Jianchen, we have discovered the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom's treasury!"
Jianchen's eyes lit up. He waved his hand and said, "Lead the way immediately!"
