Chapter 223: A Paroxysm of Epilepsy (1/2)
Translator: Madesmoiselle V.
She came to Prince Jing’s Mansion for figuring out the identities of the invisible guards in Prince Jing’s Mansion. So she directly knocked senior Prince Jing unconscious to lead the invisible guards out!
Although these invisible guards were superior in martial arts, they were somewhat inferior to those in Lord Freedom’s Mansion. There was nothing special with them. And those so-called all-conquering, undefeated and mysterious invisible guards Prime Minister Xie described would definitely not be them!
“It seems that senior Prince Jing have not taken over the invisible guards.” Murong Xue blinked and looked up at Ouyang Shaochen: “Let’s go!”
“Fine!” Ouyang Shaochen nodded, held Murong Xue’s soft hand and walked forward slowly.
One of the men in dark, who was fighting, narrowed his stern eyes and threw out a small white ball. It exploded with a “bang” and thick white smoke pervaded everwhere instantly.
The invisible guards of the Prince Jing’s Mansion quickly waved away the smoke. But they only saw the surrounding area was empty and the four men in black had disappeared...
Ye Yichen came with strides, looking at the messy road and the unconscious senior Prince Jing. His look was sullen and dreadful: “What’s happened?”
One of the invisible guards came up and said courtly: “Your Highness, there was someone who sneaked into our mansion and intended to assassinate senior Prince Jing.”
Ye Yichen narrowed his eyes: “How is my father’s injury?”
“Your Highness, the senior prince just took the sleeping-drug. There was nothing serious with him, and he would be fine after tonight.” The invisible guard had carefully examined the body condition of senior Prince Jing and said courtly.
“Good.” Ye Yichen breathed a sigh of relief with his sharp eyes narrowing slightly. If they really wanted to assassinate his father, they would use poison directly. Why did they only use the trivial sleeping-drug? Things would never be as simple as they seemed.
As the sky turning bright in the east, Murong Xue felt the cool breeze while she was walking slowly in the street, muttering: “General Lu, General Qi and senior Prince Jing had not taken over the invisible guards. And none of the soldiers in my father’s troops suddenly became stronger or was promoted to higher rank. It seems that the token is not held by anyone of them.”
She had never seen the token and did not know whether it was long, wide, round or flat. And she had no idea whether it was made with wood, iron, porcelain or jade. She did not even know where it was. It would be like dredging for a needle in the sea if she tried to find it.
Looking at her grim face, with a pure smile flashing cross Ouyang Shaochen’s face, he said lightly: “It is not easy to find the token. You can try to look for the invisible guards first. If you can find them, you will figure out what the token is.”
“It’s easy for you to say so. But the Qingyan Country is broad and there are so many people. Where can I find those invisible guards?” Murong Xue stared at him and sighed lightly.
“The invisible guards were trained by your father and they were loyal to him only. Even if your father passed away, they wouldn’t be too far away from your father.” Ouyang Shaochen said lightly with his eyes, which were as deep as ponds.
Murong Xue suddenly turned solemn: “You mean that the invisible guards are in the capital city or at least close?”
“It is highly possible!” Ouyang Shaochen nodded gently.
