Chapter 241 The Third Prince Dies and the Plan Is Ruined
Immediately, the soldiers who came with him surrounded him.

More than ten people fighting against more than a hundred people, it is easy to imagine what the outcome will be, but the other side is desperate to tear open a gap, as if they are trying their best to ensure that the leader leaves.

The more he did this, the more it showed the importance of the leader, so Yue Sheng did not dare to take it lightly. He immediately had someone throw a drug bomb. The drug was in sufficient quantity and quickly knocked down the group of spies.

When Yue Sheng approached and tore off the leader's human skin mask, he found that there was a person under the mask whom he did not recognize. He had met many people from the Southern Tang royal family when he followed the major general, but he had no impression of this person.

For a moment he wondered if he had made a wrong judgement, but before he could get up, an escort lying next to him suddenly opened his eyes, stabbed the poison needle in his hand into Yue Sheng's neck, and then jumped up and swept away the relaxed soldiers with his overwhelming force.

He tore a hole in the hole, jumped on his horse, and was about to escape. It seemed that he had succeeded, but the horse had not run more than ten meters when the man on the horse was hit by an arrow in the chest and fell off the horse.

He rolled several times before stopping, with blood dripping from his mouth and a look of unwillingness in his eyes.

The person who shot him was Pei Ziyao who had drawn the bow.

With a solemn look on her face and dressed in black, she was obviously a woman under 20 years old, but at this moment she looked like a god descending from heaven. Yue Sheng's face turned blue and black. Fortunately, he had a life-saving pill on him, otherwise he would have died from this blow.

Pei Ziyao rode his horse forward and looked down at the man who was still struggling on the ground.

He was dressed like a farmer, with a dark face and even dirt and chapped wounds between his fingers. You could tell at first glance that he was a man who worked in the fields for a living. But no one expected that he would have such a skill.

There was no pity in her eyes, and she asked calmly.

"Let me guess, are you the eldest prince or the third prince? Did Nan Tang stage such a big show just to send someone for us to kill?"

Her words made the man on the ground look a little panicked, but more of it was anger. He wanted to struggle to leave, but Pei Ziyao's arrow was so fierce that it not only pierced his left chest, but also prevented him from dying for a while.

I could only ask intermittently without giving up.

"How...how did you...know?"

"Maybe it was God's blessing. Ten days ago, when you were about to enter the city, you were bumped into by my brother and I. You were almost deceived by the leader at that time. But you hid so many thoughts, but in the end you forgot one thing."

"Is...what is it?"

"I heard that the Southern Tang royal family is proud to eat ice toads. That thing has a special taste, so people who have used it will have a faint hidden fragrance on their bodies. It just so happens that my eldest brother knows about this, so from the beginning he didn't target the so-called leader, but you!"

Hearing this, the people on the ground sneered.

He actually failed at this point. He covered his chest and looked at Pei Ziyao intently. He had countless things to say, but he didn't know where to start.

The blood was flowing more and more, and he never thought that he, a prince, would be defeated by this woman. For a moment, his blood was boiling, and finally he died with his eyes wide open in anger outside the city he had wanted all his life.

After he died, Pei Ziyao stepped forward and personally took off the human skin mask.

Sure enough, under the mask of old age and mediocrity, there was a face that was pampered and lived a life of luxury. It was the Third Prince who was poisoned by the First Prince in the legend. Pei Ziyao had seen this man before, so he recognized him very clearly. "After putting on such a big show, he ended up sending his head thousands of miles away. The fate of the Southern Tang Dynasty is indeed over."

Yue Sheng has recovered a little now. He was careless and lost Jingzhou. It was a joke that he was so cautious on weekdays but he made a mistake here.

His face was still a little pale, and the black blood from the wound had already been released, so the wound looked a little hideous. When he saw Pei Ziyao, he immediately knelt on one knee and apologized.

"I am incompetent and almost let the Third Prince go. I hope that Pioneer Pei will punish me."

In this expedition, Pei Ziyao and Pei Zimiao were respectively given the titles of left and right vanguards, so it was no problem for Yue Sheng to address them that way. Pei Ziyao helped him up and then said.

"The people of Nan Tang are cunning by nature, and it is possible that they were not careful for a while. I only discovered it after receiving the guidance of Big Brother. Now the person has been shot and the news has not leaked out. Bring everyone back and wait for Big Brother to decide!"

"Yes, Pei Xianfeng."

A silent slaughter was going on quietly outside the bustling city.

No one knew what was happening outside, only that the city was peaceful.

At this moment, in the dungeon of Deputy General Tang's mansion in Fancheng, screams continued, and the details of this action gradually came together. By the dawn of the next day, the complete narrative had been placed in front of Pei Zisu.

He read it carefully and felt that it was God's will to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was why there was such a good opportunity!

It is true that there was internal strife in Southern Tang.

The cause turned out to be that the Third Prince had drunkenly defiled one of his father's favorite concubines, and so the Southern Tang Emperor, in a rage, ordered his men to cut off his offspring. He fled in a hurry, originally thinking of taking this opportunity to come to Fancheng to investigate the whereabouts of Pei Zisu.

After all, Pei Zisu had "disappeared" for a long time, and people in Southern Tang were very curious about him. He originally wanted to use this news to get the support of the emperor of Southern Tang and catch Da Sui off guard.

In the end, he died before he could accomplish his mission, and all his dreams became a joke.

After reading these books, Pei Zisu immediately gave the order.

"We can change the excuse for this matter. We can tell the outside world that the Southern Tang royal family ignored the previous armistice agreement and sent the third prince to assassinate this general. However, he was discovered by Pei Xianfeng and shot dead. I was seriously injured. You are crazy and want revenge, so you have sent a large number of troops to attack. You can take Xuncheng, which Tang Yu and you have long coveted, as the main attack point. We must take it within half a month!"

"Order!"

After holding back for such a long time, they can finally face the enemy head-on. Pei Ziyao and all the soldiers of the Pei family army, as well as the soldiers guarding Fancheng, are all ready to fight.

This time, they wanted to seek justice for their general, so they fought aggressively outside Xuncheng.

The Southern Tang royal family was still recuperating from the internal strife when they heard the result that Xuncheng had been lost. At the same time, the body of the third prince was hung outside Xuncheng to prove that Dasui had sufficient reasons to send troops!
When the Southern Tang Emperor heard that his son, whom he had been pursuing for a long time, was suddenly gone and was also accused of assassinating General Pei, he didn't know for a moment whether to mourn his son's death or hate his son for not fighting back!
