Chapter 184 Bingzhou City
However, none of these things caught Yang Ling's eye the most. What really drew her attention was a wooden basin placed there.
The wooden basin was full of water, but there were traces of blood on the edge of the basin, which looked very strange.
"This bloodstain..."
Yang Ling was a little puzzled because the blood hadn't dried yet, and there didn't seem to be much blood on it.
This was obviously leaked not long ago.
"There's another line of blood here!"
Suddenly, Yang Ling noticed a bloodstain and immediately followed it.
As he moved forward, more and more bloodstains appeared, making it seem as if someone had been stabbed there.
Yang Ling continued walking forward, but her brows furrowed more and more tightly.
He felt the bloodstains were very strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with them.
Yang Ling shook his head and continued walking forward. Soon he arrived at the door of a room with the door open, and then he saw a person lying on the bed.
"Is this the person I've been looking for?"
Yang Ling said with some surprise, because the person lying on the bed looked to be only in his twenties.
Moreover, his entire body was wrapped in bandages, indicating that he was seriously injured.
However, he was lying motionless on the bed, as if he were already dead.
"what on earth is it?"
Yang Ling said with some surprise, then walked to the bedside, wanting to find out what was going on.
Just then, a figure suddenly darted out.
"It's you!"
Yang Ling recognized the man at a glance. Wasn't this one of the Crown Prince's men? Sure enough, the Crown Prince had already noticed this side. In the end, she was still a step too late.
"Your Highness, how have you been?"
The man cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Yang Ling, a disdainful smile on his face.
"Hmph, you guys are really persistent."
Yang Ling snorted coldly and then walked towards the door.
"Your Highness, please stay!"
That person blocked Yang Ling's path.
"I never said I was leaving. Since you are the Crown Prince's man, then sit down and have a proper chat."
Yang Ling said nonchalantly, then found a place to sit down, completely ignoring the man.
"Your Highness, you're being rather arrogant."
The man frowned slightly as he spoke, clearly dissatisfied with Yang Ling's attitude.
"Heh, you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Yang Ling retorted without backing down.
"Then may I have the honor of knowing what brings Your Highness here?"
The man didn't dwell on those things with Yang Ling any longer and went straight to asking about the matter at hand.
"I am here on important business, so you should not ask too many questions, lest things get complicated later."
Yang Ling said calmly.
The man frowned slightly, clearly not wanting to let Yang Ling off so easily.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you'll have to give me an explanation today."
The man said with a cold laugh, clearly dissatisfied with Yang Ling's statement.
"Hehe, what are you planning to do if I don't give it to you?"
Yang Ling said coldly, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
The man didn't say anything, but simply clapped his hands, and several men dressed as imperial guards immediately came out from behind him.
"You want to do something?"
Yang Ling frowned slightly as she spoke.
"Your Highness, please don't blame me today."
The man nodded to Yang Ling, then gave the Imperial Guards a wink.
The Imperial Guards immediately rushed towards Yang Ling and surrounded him.
"Your Highness, I've arrived!"
At that moment, Li Qing's voice suddenly rang out.
However, the man frowned slightly and glanced at the doorway with some surprise.
"Your Highness, I've come to save you."
When Li Qing saw Yang Ling surrounded, he immediately shouted, clearly wanting to help Yang Ling out of the predicament.
As soon as he spoke, a group of Imperial Guards rushed out and surrounded Li Qing.
"Your Highness, what should we do?"
Li Qing said with some helplessness, he never expected that he would fall into someone else's hands so soon.
Yang Ling looked at Li Qing, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.
However, given the current situation, he has no choice but to deal with this immediate problem first.
"Li Qing, you'd better not speak, lest someone cut out your tongue."
Yang Ling had a faint smile on her lips; there was no need to panic at a time like this.
Looking at Yang Ling's relaxed demeanor, Li Qing couldn't help but smile wryly. He wondered where Yang Ling got so much confidence, since they had absolutely no chance of winning.
The man frowned slightly as he looked at Yang Ling's nonchalant expression.
He simply couldn't see through the prince before him.
"Your Highness, you'd better just surrender obediently."
The man said calmly.
"Really? You're confident you can win me over?"
Yang Ling glanced at the man with some surprise, a slight contemptuous smile on her face.
"I am naturally very confident."
The man answered without hesitation, his face brimming with confidence.
"But why should I surrender?"
Yang Ling said casually, a faint sneer playing on her lips.
"Ninth Prince, are you playing me for a fool!"
The man said angrily. He was genuinely angry now, not expecting that this guy wouldn't listen after he had spoken so well.
So at this point, his patience was completely worn out, and he wanted to teach Yang Ling a lesson!
"Grab him! Don't let him get away!"
The man said coldly.
Without a word, the Imperial Guards charged straight at Yang Ling.
Seeing this, Yang Ling's face also showed a hint of helplessness.
He had originally intended to have a proper chat with them, but he hadn't expected the Crown Prince's men to be so impolite. If he were to remain polite, it would be rather unreasonable.
Yang Ling said with a cold smile, a chilling killing intent in his eyes.
"Ninth Prince, you really are the type to refuse a polite toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
The man frowned slightly, clearly not expecting that even at this point, Yang Ling would remain so stubborn.
Yang Ling ignored him completely and directly took out the pistol that was on her body.
The faces of the Imperial Guards changed when they saw the silver-white gun in Yang Ling's hand.
Because they could feel the chilling killing intent emanating from the gun.
"Your Highness isn't trying to scare us with a fire poker, is he?"
The man also cried out in terror, looking at Yang Ling in disbelief. At that moment, he felt as if he had offended someone he shouldn't have.
Should I praise you for your intelligence, or should I call you foolish?
Yang Ling smiled faintly, then moved his hand, and the muzzle of his gun was immediately pointed at the Imperial Guards in front of him.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better stay put."
