Returning to the small inner court, returning to Zhu Minglang's courtyard, Zhu Huo was still in a daze.
Although the assassination attempt had been dangerous, it was not as frightening as what Zhu Minglang had said to him.
Was there really a traitor among the highest levels of the Zhu Clan?
Zhu Huo carefully pondered over the words that Zhao Yinge had accidentally blurted out, and connected them to some of the unimaginable things he had encountered in the past.
"Unfortunately, there is no evidence. I don't know how to tell Uncle Wangxing about this," Zhu Minglang said.
The last time they went to the secret realm, Zhu Minglang could see that Zhu Wangxing respected the four elders, including the female hall master who did not speak much. Zhu Wangxing also referred to her as a peer.
If he had no evidence to tell Zhu Wangxing that there was a traitor among the eight, Zhu Wangxing would instead be wary of him. After all, he had just removed Zhu Huo from the core members.
Zhu Huo suddenly knelt down and said seriously, "Young Master, you just came to the small inner court and don't know much about the situation here. If Young Master trusts me, Zhu Huo, then let me investigate this matter. If Young Master didn't say anything, I wouldn't have dared to think of a more terrifying place. When I was investigating Wang Xiao and Miao Sheng, I actually found something very suspicious. Considering that I had to get rid of Zhao Yinge for Young Master, I didn't investigate further."
"You are still injured …" Zhu Minglang said.
"This small injury is not a problem. Setting up a banquet to murder Young Master means that there is a problem within our small inner court. If the secret of the Earthvein Scar is stolen by others, how can our small inner court establish itself in the Ni Sea? I'm afraid that we will soon be defeated by the surrounding factions and be nibbled away! "Zhu Huo naturally realized the seriousness of the matter.
"That's fine. I will be in the light, and you will be in the dark. We need to find the traitor as quickly as possible. We should go to the Earthvein Scar again in a few days to get the fire. If these people are really coveting the Earthvein Flame Essence, they will definitely choose that time to make their move," Zhu Minglang said.
Zhu Huo nodded. Just as he was about to elaborate on his investigation of Wang Xiao and Miao Sheng, a pigeon suddenly flew to the roof of the house from a distance.
This night pigeon had a pair of amber eyes. It stared at Zhu Huo, and after a while, it flew from the eaves to Zhu Huo's shoulder. It was like a sentient pet of Zhu Huo.
Zhu Huo's eyes lit up when he saw the Night Pigeon. He said to Zhu Minglang, "Young Master, this subordinate has completed the mission you gave me!"
Zhu Minglang was a little confused.
Zhu Huo squeezed out a smile on his scorched face and said, "This time, I've made two preparations for the assassination of Zhao Yinge. If I fail, one of my brothers who has gone through fire and water with me will strike when Zhao Yinge lets down his guard."
"It's done?" Zhu Minglang asked in surprise.
"Yes, my original plan was to throw a stone to test the waters. In fact, I couldn't be sure that the person meeting with the little princess was Zhao Yinge himself, and I couldn't be sure if the meeting was a trap. However, if I didn't make a move, I would never know where Zhao Yinge was, and I wouldn't be able to predict his journey … … "said Zhu Huo.
"So you were the stone that was thrown, and your brother was the real assassin?" Zhu Minglang's eyes were filled with praise.
"Yes, I was prepared to die. After all, it was worth it to exchange me, Zhu Huo, for the little prince's life. I didn't think that Young Master had been secretly observing and even saved Zhu Huo's life," said Zhu Huo.
As expected of someone that Zhu Wangxing thought highly of. He actually had a backup plan and really took down Zhao Yinge!
"Is he still alive?" asked Zhu Minglang.
"He's alive. This little prince must have some valuable information," said Zhu Huo.
… …
Zhu Huo led the way. The two left Qin City and walked along the towering cliffs. Finally, they saw the brother that Zhu Huo had risked his life for in a lighthouse facing the ocean.
The man was silent and had a scar on his forehead. He looked a little ugly. When he saw Zhu Huo, he immediately showed an excited expression. It seemed like he had been worried about Zhu Huo's life.
"I'm fine. Wu Peng, how did you catch him?" Zhu Huo glanced into the room. The room with a brazier was a little dim, but he could clearly see a burned man chained to a pillar … …
Wu Peng was a mute. He used sign language to tell Zhu Huo how he had snuck into the clinic and knocked Zhao Yinge unconscious when the other guards weren't paying attention, then kidnapped him.
Zhao Yinge had been burned by the fire liquid. Wu Peng, who had been observing in secret like Zhu Minglang, first hid in a famous clinic in Qin City.
"The temperature of the fire liquid is abnormal. Only the divine hands of the Wei Clinic can remove the burning pain. You're smart, hiding in there first. They wouldn't have thought that there was an assassin in the clinic that they decided to go to at the last minute. Well done, Wu Peng!" said Zhu Huo happily.
Zhu Minglang's opinion of Zhu Huo had changed greatly.
Not only did he dare to take responsibility for his actions, he was also brave and resourceful. An Qingfeng and Zhao Yu were probably going crazy. Not only did they not catch the small fry they were talking about, they even lost the little prince, Zhao Yinge!
"Young Master, Wu Peng said that if it wasn't for the fact that the other person's cultivation was higher and he didn't dare to take the risk, he could have even captured the other person as well," said Zhu Huo.
Zhu Minglang nodded. One Zhao Yinge was enough. An Qingfeng was King An's son after all. Even if he was injured, he was not a pushover. Wu Peng was wise not to be greedy.
"Do you have water? Splash it on him. His limbs are all artificial. Splash it on him," said Zhu Minglang.
Wu Peng immediately fetched a basin of water. He aimed at the red hot spot on Zhao Yinge's body and poured the water on the wound!
Pouring water on the wound was not to lower Zhao Yinge's temperature. In fact, the fire liquid could not be extinguished by normal cold water. It would even worsen the wound!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
The cold water reacted with the remnants of the fire. Immediately, the cold water boiled and boiled Zhao Yinge's wound. The unconscious Zhao Yinge was immediately awakened by the pain. He screamed, but someone poured a scoop of cold water into his mouth, causing him to choke and cough violently!
"Where is this?"
"Who are you!"
"Do you know who I am? I'm Zhao Yinge, the prince of the dynasty!"
After Zhao Yinge woke up, he realized that he was in an unfamiliar place. Moreover, he was facing an ugly person with a scar on his forehead. He began to panic.
However, very quickly, Zhao Yinge saw Zhu Minglang and Zhu Huo.
His eyes couldn't be any bigger!
Wasn't he at the clinic?
How did he end up in the hands of these two people?
"Zhao Yinge, this isn't the Royal Capital. You no longer have the death-exemption medallion!" sneered Zhu Minglang.
"You … What are you trying to do? Are you trying to murder the prince of the royal family? This is a crime punishable by death!" said Zhao Yinge in terror.
