"What happened?" Shen Yi asked in shock, reaching out to feel the man's breath, "No matter how we tortured him, he didn't feel anything, as if he was dead. Your Highness, how did you do it?"
Mo Rongzhan's face darkened and he did not speak. In the palace, he had already heard from Murong Ke that no matter what kind of punishment was used on these two men of sacrifice, it would be useless. That was why he used his spiritual power to stimulate the most painful acupuncture point in his body. To his surprise, he only fainted and did not even make a sound.
This person … was probably not as simple as being trained as a death warrior.
"The poison is too deep and can't be cured. They won't say anything." Mo Rongzhan said calmly and walked in front of another person. This time, he did not directly use his spiritual energy. Instead, he held that person's hand and checked what kind of poisonous gas was on his body.
How could a mortal's body withstand such a powerful poison?
These two people's bones were filled with poison. No matter how skilled the imperial physicians were, they would not be able to cure them.
"Wangye, perhaps Wangfei can cure them of the poison," Shen Yi said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan was silent. If it was Ye Zhen's Spirit Spring, it might be possible, but he was still puzzled. How could there be such a poison in the human world? He had never heard of anyone with such an ability before.
"Have you tracked where they came from?" Mo Rongzhan asked lightly.
"I've checked. They're not from the capital, but I found this on them." Shen Yi flipped one of them over and pulled up his shirt to reveal his back. There was a scar the size of a bowl on his back. It looked like it had been deliberately ironed there to hide something.
Shen Yi didn't say what it was, but Mo Rongzhan understood what he meant.
The predecessor of Qian Luocha was the Thousand Imperial House. The Pavilion Master of the Thousand Imperial House was originally the previous dynasty's emperor, Huangfu Xiu. Later, after he ascended to the throne, the Thousand Imperial House ceased to exist. However, the assassins of the Thousand Imperial House all had a fist-sized tattoo on their back, which couldn't be washed away no matter what.
He had seen that tattoo before. The position and size were similar to the one on the assassin in front of him.
After Thousand Imperial House was disbanded, many killers were captured by Qian Luocha. Therefore, no one could guarantee whether these two people were the remnants of Thousand Imperial House or Qian Luocha's. Therefore, before the secret guards investigated this matter, they didn't dare to report it to Murong Ke.
Not long ago, Murong Ke had already cleaned up the remnants of Qian Luosha in the capital city. If he found that there were still fish that had escaped the net, and these assassins did not seem to be just remnants, there might be a bigger organization and conspiracy.
"Thousand Royal House …" Mo Rongzhan frowned as he looked at the scar. This assassin organization had disappeared for over a hundred years. It shouldn't still exist.
"Your highness, this is something we discovered this morning and have yet to inform the emperor." Shen Yi said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan said calmly, "Quickly go to the palace and tell the emperor. Later, bring him to King Qin's Residence."
Shen Yi respectfully answered, "That's right, Wangye, Beitang Yu is imprisoned next door. Do you want to see him?"
"There's no need to see him." Mo Rongzhan said indifferently. He turned around and left the hidden guard station. Beitang Yu was currently a prisoner of the Jin Kingdom. If anyone wanted to see him, it would be Murong Ke. His status was rather awkward. There were many people in the imperial court who were eyeing him covetously. He did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Just as Mo Rongzhan walked out of the hidden guard station, he saw his former right-hand man, Wang Qu, standing beside the carriage with a smile.
"Your highness!" Wang Qu called out. He had practiced calling him "Your highness" countless times in his heart. He was a careless person and was afraid that he would accidentally call out "His Majesty". If that happened, it would instead cause trouble for King Qin.
"Why are you here?" Mo Rongzhan asked calmly. His gaze fell on the youth behind Wang Qu. This person … looked somewhat familiar.
Wang Qu said, "This general heard that Your highness has returned and specially came to pay my respects. Your highness, you are still the same as before. There is no change at all."
"Weren't you in Canghai City?" Mo Rongzhan asked. He remembered that Wang Qu was in Canghai City.
"Yes. This time, I came back to report on my work. Previously, Canghai City suffered from the earthquake and was rebuilt. I also eradicated a group of rebels. I came back to report to His Majesty." Wang Qu said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan nodded slightly. "Since you are free, let's go to King Qin's Residence for a drink."
Wang Qu grinned. "Alright."
"Why is he here?" Mo Rongzhan walked in front. His low and deep voice seemed even colder in the night.
"Your highness is talking about Guan Jie. I met him in Canghai City …" Wang Qu had already roughly understood the origin of Guan Jie. He touched the tip of his nose. "Young Master Mingxi asked me to take care of him, so I brought him to the military camp. This child doesn't remember anything, and his brain isn't very good. Only his martial arts are exceptionally good, so I let him be a bodyguard by my side."
Guan Jie doesn't remember anything?
Mo Rongzhan looked back at him. Guan Jie had seen Mo Rongzhan before. At this time, facing Mo Rongzhan's gaze, he just looked at Mo Rongzhan calmly without any expression.
"Your highness, he also saved Princess Ming Yu. Last time at the city wall, if he hadn't helped …" Wang Qu was afraid that Mo Rongzhan would kill Guan Jie like Murong Ke, so he hurriedly explained.
"I know." He had heard that Ming Yu was saved by someone, but he didn't expect it to be Guan Jie.
Wang Qu scratched his head. "I will take him back to Canghai City in two days. I will not let him come to the capital in the future."
Mo Rongzhan didn't comment. When he returned to King Qin's Residence, he learned that Ye Zhen had not returned yet.
"Your highness, the princess sent someone back to inform me that she went to the medical workshop and would come back later." The housekeeper saw Mo Rongzhan return and hurriedly came forward to report.
"Prepare some wine and food and send it to the study." Mo Rongzhan was not surprised that Ye Zhen would go to the medical workshop.
Guan Jie was left outside the study by Wang Qu.
"Sit down, don't be shy." Mo Rongzhan said to Wang Qu, who was standing.
"Your highness, Jin Lou and the others miss you very much. They have been wanting to see you." Wang Qu said in a low voice. The few of them had followed Mo Rongzhan since they were young and had followed Mo Rongzhan to conquer the empire. In their hearts, the Qin Wangye in front of them was their emperor. They did not know what Mo Rongzhan was thinking in his heart. Did he still want to sit back in that position? If he had that intention, they would definitely do their best to help him.
Mo Rongzhan said, "There is no need to be in a hurry. There will be opportunities to meet in the future."
Wang Qu scratched his head. He couldn't say anything else too clearly. Looking at the prince's words, it seemed that he didn't intend to ask them to do anything.
"Sit down, why are you still standing?" Mo Rongzhan glanced at him.
"Yes, yes." Wang Qu sat down and looked at Mo Rongzhan opposite him. He smiled, "Your highness, is there anything you need us to do?"
Mo Rongzhan looked at him indifferently. "What do you want to do?"
