Chapter 208 - 208 Silencing



The sharp blade cut through the wind!

Duan Nian’er was forced into a corner. She had no choice but to draw the soft sword hidden at her waist.

She swung the soft sword and wrapped it around the No Return Saber like a snake.

!!

She wanted to take the No Return Saber from Xiao Juan.

Xiao Juan directly activated his internal energy and flipped the hilt of the saber. The No Return Saber suddenly shook.

The soft sword wrapped around the saber broke into several pieces and fell to the ground with a clang.

The saber that had broken free stabbed toward Duan Nian’er.

Duan Nian’er’s pupils trembled and her breathing almost stopped. The blade grazed her neck and stabbed into the wall behind her. A thin line of blood appeared on her neck.

The Sword of No Return only had to move an inch to take her life.

Duan Nian’er froze in place. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with fear. For the first time in her life, she was close to death.

Duan Hanyi and Madam Zhao saw that the situation was bad and wanted to escape, but it was too late. They were surrounded by the Eagle Guards and could not escape even if they had wings.

Looking at the stern-looking Eagle Guards, Duan Hanyi and Madam Zhao were deeply shocked.

Madam Zhao asked in disbelief.

“Weren’t you guys already drugged?”

Meng Xizhou grinned and said smugly.

“Your knockout powder is too inferior. Our Lord Little Lo is proficient in medicine and immediately discovered the strangeness in the ginger soup.

The prince thought this was a chance to lure the snake out of its hole, so he wanted us to beat you at your own game and pretend to be drugged.”

Lo Pingsha looked at him blankly. “Don’t call me Lo.”

Meng Xizhou smiled even more brightly. “Okay, Little Lo. No problem, Little Lo!”

Lo Pingsha was speechless.

His fists hardened immediately.

At this moment, Madam Zhao and Duan Hanyi’s faces suddenly turned pale. Then, they spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell straight down.

Lo Pingsha’s expression changed. “Oh no, they poisoned themselves!”

He and Meng Xizhou rushed forward and forcefully pried open Madam Zhao and Duan Hanyi’s mouths. They realized that both of them were missing a molar.

The two of them had obviously pulled out a molar and stuck the poison sac in it so that they could kill themselves with poison at any time.

Lo Pingsha shook his head at Meng Xizhou.

“The poison is too strong. It’s hopeless.”

Duan Nian’er regained her senses and knew that her mission had failed.

She could not let herself fall into the hands of Duke Lang. She was also prepared to bite through the poison sac and kill herself.

Unfortunately, she was too late.

Xiao Juan grabbed her chin and forced her mouth open.

He called out to Little Lo.

This time Lo Pingsha didn’t argue about the title.

He quickly ran to Duan Nian’er and reached into her mouth with the forceps he carried with him. He took out a small poison sac from the gap between her molars.

Duan Nian’er looked at them with wide eyes, her heart filled with despair.

She didn’t even have a chance to die.

Xiao Juan let go of Duan Nian’er and got someone to lock her in the woodshed for interrogation.

He had to know who the instigator behind her was.

Duan Nian’er was trussed up by the Eagle Guards and dragged away roughly.

Xiao Juan sheathed his saber and glanced coldly at Shen Xu, who was sitting on the ground.

Half of Shen Xu’s face was still swollen. The corners of his eyes and his nose were red. His clothes were torn, and he looked dazed. He looked like a young lady who had just been ravaged.

It was not until Xiao Juan called him that he came back to his senses.

He hurriedly got up and shouted anxiously.

“Those people came for me and my father. They wanted to kill my father and control me. They did not succeed this time. There would definitely be a next time. You must keep us safe!”

If Shen Xu had thought that Duke Lang was a living King of Hell before, he would be terrified if he took another look.

However, after the torture just now, Shen Xu immediately felt that Duke Lang was emitting a holy golden light.

How was he the living King of Hell? He was clearly a living Bodhisattva who saved people!

Xiao Juan glanced at him coldly. “Help your father to the bed. I’ll leave first.”

Shen Xu hurriedly stopped him. “Where are you going? Can’t you stay?”

Xiao Juan felt that there was most likely something wrong with this person’s brain.

“Do you want me to share a room with you?”

Shen Xu said shyly, “It’s not impossible…”

He only felt safe by Duke Lang’s side.

...

As long as he could ensure his own safety, it was fine to spend the night in the same room as Duke Lang.

At most, he would sleep on the floor!

Xiao Juan would be crazy to leave the delicate and cute princess to spend the night with a big idiot. He did not look at Shen Xu again and turned to leave.

Shen Xu shouted several times but could not stop him. He was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

He wanted to chase after him, but his father was still lying on the ground. He could not leave him alone. He could only watch as Duke Lang walked away.

Xiao Juan planned to interrogate Duan Nian’er himself.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door of the woodshed, he suddenly heard a scream coming from inside.

“Ah!”

It was Duan Nian’er’s cry.

Xiao Juan immediately saw a tall and thin figure flash past not far away.

Although he only took a look, Xiao Juan recognized with his sharp vision that the person was the old Taoist priest who opened the door for them.

...

Xiao Juan chased after him.

Unfortunately, he was too late.

When he ran past, the old priest was gone, and there was only a bow lying quietly on the ground.

Xiao Juan picked up the bow and looked at it, his gaze turning colder.

He immediately ordered the Eagle Guards to search for the old Taoist priest!

An Eagle Guard rushed out of the woodshed. He looked anxious.

He was about to look for Lo Pingsha when he saw Duke Lang walking over.

He said hastily.

“Your Highness, Duan Nian’er has been killed!”

Xiao Juan walked into the woodshed with a dark expression.

He saw Duan Nian’er lying on the ground, trussed up.

Her eyes were wide, her face white as a sheet. Her expression was one of horror. There was an arrow in her heart.

Xiao Juan ordered someone to call Lo Pingsha over.

Lo Pingsha hurried over.

Yu Niaoniao came with him.

When Yu Niaoniao heard that Duan Nian’er had been killed, she was a little worried that Duke Lang would be in danger, so she followed him.

She looked Prince Lang up and down and was relieved to see that he was safe.

After some testing, Lo Pingsha confirmed that Duan Nian’er had died from poison.

Lo Pingsha drew the arrow and pointed it at the bloodstained arrowhead.

“It’s smeared with poison. Even if this arrow doesn’t hit her vitals, she’ll die if it hits any part of her.”

Yu Niaoniao leaned over curiously.

Although she practiced archery, she was not very good at it.

Therefore, she looked left and right but could not see anything special about this arrow.

Xiao Juan took out the bow he had picked up earlier.

Comparing the bow and arrow, the material and workmanship should be the same.

The person who shot the arrow at Duan Nian’er should be the old Taoist priest.

His goal was clear, too. To silence her.
