After unexpectedly getting hold of such information, Zhan Tianming could not help but snort in his heart.

He did not understand why Camel wanted to test his strength. Or rather, who was the one who guided Camel to attack him? No matter what, this feeling of being tricked wasn't that comfortable.

Although there was a trace of displeasure in his heart, Zhan Tianming did not immediately flare up.

After all, this was the County Prince Palace.

Furthermore, just the strength of that Camel was enough to kill him.

"I'm still too weak!"

"No, I can't stay here forever. If this drags on, how long will it take for my strength to increase?"

This kind of feeling where his life was not in his hands made Zhan Tianming feel really uncomfortable.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately looked at the servant.

"I wish to seek an audience with your highness."

Very quickly, under the lead of the servant, Zhan Tianming arrived at Zongzheng Qingxuan's study.

"Your Highness, Young Master Zhan requests an audience." The servant respectfully shouted towards the study room.

Unfortunately, there was no response at all.

"Your Highness, Young Master Zhan requests an audience." The servant repeated.

However, there was still no reply.

"Master, this is bad. There is the smell of blood coming from the study room." Little Purple's solemn voice came out.

Immediately, Zhan Tianming's face changed slightly.

"There's a smell of blood inside. Quickly open the door and take a look." Zhan Tianming asked anxiously.

"What?" The servant was stunned.

The smell of blood came from the study room. What did that mean?

Could it be that something had happened to the king?

However, as a servant, he didn't dare to open the door of the study without having received the news. Otherwise, if he were to be blamed by the higher-ups, even if he had ten heads, he wouldn't be able to protect himself.

Seeing that the servant was hesitating, Zhan Tianming did not care anymore, directly walking up to him and opening the door of the study.

Whoosh!

A strong stench of blood gushed out from his body.

Zhan Tianming frowned slightly.

When the servant smelled the scent of blood, his face changed drastically.

The two of them quickly walked in.

Looking ahead, Zongzheng Qingxuan who was dressed in brocade robes was already lying in a pool of blood, with blood flowing all over the ground.

"Wang... "Prince …"

The servant was completely dumbfounded.

Then, when he came back to his senses, he shouted loudly.

"Oh no, the prince has been assassinated!"

"This is bad, the prince has been assassinated. Someone come quickly …"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhan Tianming frowned, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Zongzheng Qingxuan was actually assassinated?

How could it be such a coincidence?

She had just wanted to look for him, but he was suddenly assassinated.

Furthermore, judging from the fact that the blood on the ground had yet to congeal, it was obvious that this had happened not long ago.

In next to no time, the entire manor was alarmed.

Zongzheng Wanyou also rushed over.

Seeing the familiar figure lying in a pool of blood, tears immediately rolled down her face.

"Father... Father... "

Zongzheng Wanyou's voice was choked with emotions.

She could not believe this was real. She felt as if something had blocked her throat. It was very uncomfortable, so much so that she wanted to use a knife to cut open her throat and then take out the foreign object that had blocked her throat.

Her body was also trembling slightly.

She had lost her mother at a very young age, and now, even her father was gone. It was as if a sharp blade had pierced into her heart.

Not only was it painful, it was also bleeding.

"Father!"

Finally, a loud shout came out, Zongzheng Wanyou rushed towards the corpse that no longer had any signs of life, shaking it, crying it out, as though it was trying to wake it up.

However, no matter how heartbroken she cried or how mournful her cries were, the people on the ground didn't move in the slightest.

He was dead. He really was dead.

"What's going on?" Feng Wushuang also rushed over, and could not help but ask Zhan Tianming.

Zhan Tianming shook his head.

Lu Mingyan, Feng Lejiang and the rest also rushed over. They all knew that Zhang Bao was going to bring people for the betrothal gift, so they specially rushed over to join in on the fun. And it was precisely because of this that they all stayed in the Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, seeing Zongzheng Qingxuan lying in a pool of blood, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Lin Shangjun's County Prince was stabbed to death?

This time, the whole of Lin Shangjun was afraid that he was in chaos!

Whether it was Lu Mingyan, Feng Lejiang, Feng Wushuang or the others, they all knew very well about the situation with regards to Sky Wind Country.

The royal family would not interfere in matters between the seven counties.

In other words, if Lin Shangjun did not have a leader, it was entirely possible for the other six countries to divide Lin Shangjun up.

No! It should be said that it was inevitable.

Lin Shangjun was going to fall into chaos soon, and the iron hooves of the other six counties would soon enter Lin Shangjun's territory.

And now, there was one last question.

A very important question.

Would Zongzheng Wanyou marry Zhang Bao?

If Zongzheng Wanyou marries Zhang Bao, then Jiuyuan County will naturally take over Lin Shangjun's arms.

If she doesn't marry.

Then, the other six nations will definitely divide Lin Shangjun up.

Now, even if Zongzheng Wanyou was willing to marry Zhang Bao, the other counties' princes would definitely not agree, and would definitely use their strongest opposition to stop him, and would definitely not watch the Jiuyuan County's County Prince take Lin Shangjun in.

Battles were already unavoidable.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Mingyan and the rest were ready to send the message back shortly.

Feng Wushuang touched Zhan Tianming, and asked softly: Who found out first?

"Me." Zhan Tianming said.

Hearing that, Feng Wushuang, Lu Mingyan, Feng Lejiang and the rest all turned to look over in shock.

"You found it first?" Feng Wushuang was surprised.

Zhan Tianming nodded.

He then briefly explained the situation to them.

Not far away.

Zongzheng Wanyou cried until tears fell and the cicada blossomed in the rain.

Her beautiful face was wet from the tears.

That cry conveyed the sorrow in her heart.

As for her, she sat within the pool of blood, completely ignoring the fact that the blood had already dyed her dress blood-red. Because, to her, all of this was no longer important. It was no longer important at all, really … It didn't matter at all.

"..." Father... In the end … Who did this to you? "Sob, sob …"

"Father... "Say something …"

"County Princess, don't cry anymore … County Princess... " Xiang Er consoled her continuously from the side, but Zongzheng Wanyou didn't hear her at all. She only cried until her eyes turned red.

Zongzheng Wanyou's cry made Zhan Tianming's heart hurt.

Zhan Tianming really could not sit still and do nothing.

He walked forward and prepared to comfort Zongzheng Wanyou.

But right at this time, Zongzheng Wanyou who was covered in tears suddenly turned around, and looked at Zhan Tianming with a pair of eyes filled with overflowing rage, his trembling lily-white hands suddenly pointing towards him.

"It's you!" You are the one who caused the death of my Father! "
