The Demonic Crown Prince

"Tell me about it." Li Yuan nodded.

"The assassins on Lingcui Mountain confessed that they were ordered by the Second Prince Li Jun."

The two dwarfs confessed that they were instructed by King Li Duo of Qi.

The assassin in the bushes confessed that he was ordered by King Li Yu of Wu…

Wang Dahai said slowly.

Even he himself was a little overwhelmed by the thought!

"Wow, it's really lively! They've brought everything in. Is anyone else here?"

Li Yuan kept sneering.

Because everything was within his expectations.

"Based on the current interrogation results, there is no such finding."

Wang Dahai shook his head.

He looked up at Li Yuan, his gaze deepening. "Could it be that someone else is plotting to harm the Prince?"

"There are probably many who want to harm me. But it doesn't matter."

This time, it's time for a counterattack. Otherwise, always having to react passively like this is really frustrating.

Li Yuan's eyes were cold and sharp.

After thinking for a moment, he looked up again and said, "Eunuch Wang, if we catch them red-handed this time, I have a small request, may I?"

"Your Majesty, please speak." Wang Dahai nodded in a businesslike manner.

"Keep those fighting slaves for me; I have a great use for them."

Li Yuandao.

"Okay." Wang Dahai nodded directly.

"Thanks!" Li Yuan clasped his hands in thanks, said no more, and turned to leave.

Standing in the courtyard, watching Li Yuan's figure gradually disappear through the gate, Wang Dahai's eyes filled with admiration, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is how a crown prince should be."

"Master, it's too hot outside. Talking too much will drain your energy."

Footsteps sounded beside him, and an old eunuch, leaning on a cane, walked up to him and stood there.

"I'm just telling the truth," Wang Dahai said with a smile.

"As you said, our Imperial Factory is only responsible to the emperor on the Dragon Platform. As for who the emperor on the Dragon Platform is, that's none of our business."

The old eunuch tapped his cane, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

"Understood, Master!" Wang Dahai exclaimed in surprise, bowing deeply.

"However, to be honest, I actually quite like the current King of Qin; he even knows how to fight back."

What an interesting kid!

The old eunuch turned and went into the room, a low chuckle coming from behind him.

Wang Dahai also smiled, but the smile was no longer as tense as before, and it carried a hint of vague warmth.

……

The day passed quickly.

That night, Li Yuan, along with Wang Wanquan and several other carefully selected experts, went to Black Wind Corner again and met Fang Li.

This time, he simply covered his face with a duster, without disguising himself.

"Are you the buyer?"

Fang Li looked at Li Yuan. With her sharp eyes, she naturally recognized that the person in front of her was Li Yuan from yesterday, which made her even more certain that he was indeed the former crown prince and now the Prince of Qin!

The thought of killing a prince and clearing the way for the Third Prince filled her with indescribable excitement, but on the surface she remained calm and composed.

"That's right, I just disguised myself yesterday," Li Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Ten, is that right?" Fang Li asked.

"Ten, the best ones. How much?"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Can."

"Follow me!"

After quickly agreeing on the price, Fang Li led Li Yuan down the second floor and headed deeper into the warehouse.

Wang Wanquan and his group originally wanted to go over, but they were stopped. Li Yuan also told them to follow the rules, so they had no choice but to stay!

Walk through a long, narrow corridor filled with oil lamps and push open the door in front of you.

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed immediately.

What I saw were rows of prison cells enclosed by iron bars on both sides.

Each room contained a fighting slave.

Most of them were shirtless, their bodies covered with crisscrossing scars.

Some people were tediously hitting the hanging sandbags, again and again.

Some people lean against the wall and close their eyes to rest.

Upon hearing footsteps, the fighting slaves all raised their heads and stared at the person who entered with the eyes of wild beasts.

However, when they saw Fang Li, their eyes visibly froze, and they deliberately avoided him.

These people, who are so numb that they are not even afraid of death, are terrified of Fang Li!

Li Yuan's gaze swept across their faces one by one, and he stopped in front of a cell.

The fighter inside was extremely tall, with broad shoulders and a wide back. He had a scar on his left cheek that stretched from his forehead to his chin. It was the same ruthless character he had witnessed killing his opponent with a single punch on stage yesterday.

To kill someone with one's bare hands signifies immense strength and martial skill.

He was very impressed with this guy.

"What's your name? What did you do before?" Li Yuan asked.

The slave looked up at him and said in a hoarse voice, "My name is Scarface Three. As for the past... I don't remember."

When he spoke, there was no emotion in his eyes; for them, it was simply a matter of living one day at a time.

Li Yuan nodded, about to ask something else, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at Fang Li beside him. Fang Li seemed very honest, but intentionally or unintentionally took two steps back from him.

"I'll take this one." He sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, continuing to walk forward and selecting a few more people.

Just as he reached the end of the corridor, the iron gate behind him suddenly slammed shut with a loud bang.

At the same time, the iron bars on both sides of the cell slowly rose.

The slaves in the cells began to have bloodshot eyes, standing at the cell doors, staring intently at Li Yuan.

Deacon Fang said that whoever is the first to kill Li Yuan can leave this damned place.

Almost instantly, it was like hundreds of wolves simultaneously eyeing a single prey!

As soon as the cell door opens, the wolf-like fighting slaves will rush out and tear Li Yuan to pieces!

Fang Li, who had been following behind, had long since disappeared.

With a "whoosh," a round observation port on the iron gate opened, revealing Fang Li's face. Standing outside, she smiled sweetly, "Your Highness, I'm sorry."

"You recognize me?" Li Yuan stood at a distance, his face showing no sign of panic, and asked Fang Li with his hands behind his back.

"King Qin is a peerless hero, how could I, a lowly concubine, not recognize him?" Fang Li smiled even more charmingly.

"Whom do you work for? Even if I'm going to die, I'd rather die knowing why." Li Yuan stared at Fang Li.

"This is a difficult question. Actually, Black Wind Horn belongs to the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince, but I am actually... the Second Prince's man."

So, Your Highness, you may think whatever you want.

"Now, can I die?"

Fang Limei smiled.

At this moment, all the iron bars had been raised, and one by one, strong fighting slaves came out and gathered together. The dense crowd was like a river, and if they rushed over, they would instantly drown Li Yuan.

"Whoever kills him will gain freedom!" Fang Li shouted.

The next moment, a roar like that of a wild beast rang out, and all the fighting slaves rushed towards Li Yuan madly, ready to tear him to pieces!
