Chapter 2105 The Real Purpose

There's a problem!

Duan Wanming's heart sank.

The abnormal behavior of these people in black made him feel quite uneasy. As long as there was no problem with his brain, in this situation, what these people in black had to do was to break out, but they did not do so, then... There is a problem.

Then, why do these people in black still fight to the death here even though they know they are outmatched?

Duan Wanming's mind was spinning crazily, and he quickly thought of a possibility:

The eldest prince, Zhao Xuan!

Yes, it must be because of the eldest prince Zhao Xuan!

Nowadays, the most important thing in the entire Yanfeng Kingdom is the selection of the new emperor. This is a matter that affects the interests and even lives of many people. Almost all the ministers in the court are paying attention to this matter and even participating in it. , the three new emperor candidates are also the focus of everyone's attention.

Duan Wanming already knew why the eldest prince escaped from the capital. With what the eldest prince had done, he was very likely to be retaliated against. Not to mention, as a competitor, the other two princes would not let him go. Therefore, the two princes and his men are very likely to take action against the eldest prince.

The eldest prince had just entered his mansion when a man in black sneaked in. There was no guarantee that the two incidents were not related.

Thinking of this, Duan Wanming broke out in a cold sweat. If something happened to Zhao Xuan, then the Duan family would be in danger of being wiped out, let alone seeking more rights and a higher status.

"Zeguang, Zeyun, take people quickly to protect the eldest prince!" Duan Wanming ordered his son.

Duan Wanming's two sons immediately responded after hearing what their father said, and then led people to the place where the eldest prince Zhao Xuan lived.

Duan Wanming's words were not only heard by his two sons, but also Hou Zhong who was fighting with him. After hearing Duan Wanming's words, Hou Zhong's heart skipped a beat. He did not expect that Duan Wanming would react so quickly. At this time, I also thought of Zhao Xuan.

Hou Zhong didn't bring many people. Although they were not weak, if they were surrounded by the guards in the city lord's palace, it would still be difficult to survive, let alone kill the eldest prince Zhao Xuan.

Seeing Duan Zeguang and Duan Zeyun leading people to protect Zhao Xuan, Hou Zhong finally became anxious.

bump!

Hou Zhong slapped a palm to repel Duan Wanming. This time, he did not continue to attack Duan Wanming like before, but wanted to leave. He wanted to follow Duan Zeguang and Duan Zeyun to kill the eldest prince Zhao Xuan.

However, Duan Wanming had been guarding against him for a long time, how could he let him get away?

"Sure enough, I guessed it right. You are really coming for the eldest prince!" Duan Wanming rushed over and said with a smile: "Your real target is the eldest prince. In this case, you are not the second prince's people. , he is the Third Prince’s person.”

Hou Zhong had always been calm before, and even fought in a leisurely manner, without the slightest panic of being surrounded. But now, after hearing that he had arranged people to protect the eldest prince, Hou Zhong became very anxious. As a result, It is naturally not difficult for Duan Wanming to judge their true purpose.

Seeing that Duan Wanming was entangled again, Hou Zhong did not dare to be careless. After all, his strength was only between Duan Wanming and Duan Wanming. If he was careless in the slightest, he might end up here.

"Hmph! So what if you guessed it right? Today, the eldest prince will die!" Seeing that his thoughts were guessed, Hou Zhong simply stopped hiding it.

It is completely unnecessary to continue concealing it at this time.

Hearing Hou Zhong's words, Duan Wanming was shocked and said, "Have you sent someone to find the eldest prince?"

Hou Zhong sneered again and did not deny it.

Duan Wanming felt a little heavy in his heart. Although he guessed that the target of these people was the eldest prince, it was too late after all. If these people had just sneaked into the city lord's palace, someone had gone to find the eldest prince, the eldest prince might not have returned at this time. Still alive.

"I hope it's not too late!" Duan Wanming prayed in his heart.

"I hope they have succeeded!" Hou Zhong was also praying in his heart.

Duan Wanming was worried that Hou Zhong's people had succeeded, and Hou Zhong was actually in a bad mood. After all, the city lord's palace was not small, and he was not sure that his people had found Zhao Xuan. What's more, even if he didn't know that he and others would Come on, Duan Wanming should have sent people to protect Zhao Xuan, so it is not easy to assassinate Zhao Xuan.

Although the two of them were holding hands, they had their own plans in mind. Thinking about their own concerns, the movements of their hands unconsciously slowed down.

Just when everyone on Hou Zhong's side was losing everything, Duan Zeguang came back.

"Dad! Someone assassinated the eldest prince. Fortunately, we arrived in time and the bandits did not succeed. The eldest prince only suffered some injuries and his life is not in danger." After Duan Zeguang came back, he said to Duan Wanming: "The second brother is leading People are there to protect the eldest prince.”

"Okay!" Duan Wanming looked happy when he heard his eldest son's words.

After all, the things he was worried about did not happen. Duan Wanming finally felt relieved. As long as the eldest prince did not die, Duan Wanming did not care if he was injured. What he wanted was the eldest prince's name. As long as the eldest prince did not die, even if he was seriously injured. Or disabled, he wouldn't care.

Compared to Duan Wanming's joy, Hou Zhong's heart sank.

He also heard Duan Zeguang's words. Hou Zhong understood that tonight's operation failed after all. With the protection of the guards in the city lord's palace, it was no longer possible to kill Zhao Xuan.

Hou Zhong acted very decisively. After realizing that things were hopeless, he took advantage of Duan Wanming's distracted moment of joy and suddenly accelerated his offensive to seize the initiative. After that, before Duan Wanming could react and regain the rhythm, Hou Zhong had already used all his strength and slapped Duan Wanming with a heavy palm, and then, without any hesitation, he broke out.

As for the remaining few men, Hou Zhong didn't care about them. He couldn't care whether they lived or died.

The guards in the city lord's mansion reacted quickly. Seeing that Hou Zhong wanted to escape, they immediately shot arrows at his figure. Countless arrows instantly enveloped Hou Zhong. Hou Zhong exerted his strength to the extreme and dodged most of the arrows, but he was still hit by two arrows. He endured the pain and fled the city lord's mansion with injuries.

"Ze Guang, block the city immediately and search every house for me. You must find him!" Duan Wanming said in a deep voice, holding his aching chest.

"Yes, Dad." Duan Zeguang responded and immediately led his men to chase after him.

Duan Wanming looked at the remaining bandits and said, "Try to catch them alive. I want to know their specific identities."
