Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 381 What exactly is going on in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?

Lu Beimo pursed his lips and said calmly, "Eastern Zhou."

"Eastern Zhou?" Chu Yueli and Huo Qing's hearts tightened.

The thunder and flowing clouds were all taken aback.

"The assassins from Dongzhou actually joined forces with these people from Dongling to deal with you, Your Highness?" Liu Yun thought for a moment and was immediately filled with fear: "But we had no defenses against the Third Prince of Dongzhou at all. Fortunately, he did not do anything reckless to Your Highness."

"Foolish!" Jing Lei couldn't help but glance at him, her face full of disdain: "Does Dong Zhou only have the Third Prince?"

Liu Yun blinked and said nothing more.

It seems I've realized how foolish I've been.

"They are royal assassins of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This unique martial art is specifically used by the Eastern Zhou royal family to deal with assassins... What are you doing?"

Lu Beimo's eyes darkened, and he immediately squatted down and took Chu Yueli's hand.

She actually went to take off the clothes of those assassins.

Chu Yueli looked up at him and said seriously, "I just want to check it out."

"Dirty!" Lu Beimo snorted, his cold gaze falling on Liu Yun.

Liu Yun suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

The prince knows it's dirty, yet he won't let Miss Li do it, but he makes him do it instead! How can the prince be so biased?

Lu Beimo narrowed his eyes: "Any objections?"

"No, no, no, I wouldn't dare! I have no objection whatsoever! Heh, heh heh..."

Liu Yun quickly squatted down and swiftly stripped the three of their clothes off.

Actually, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It's just a dead person; it's not like I haven't seen them before.

The prince had just said they were dirty and wouldn't let Miss Li touch them, but then immediately made her touch them herself. This contrast made her heart sink.

Chu Yueli squatted down, put on special gloves, and examined several corpses.

Lu Beimo watched, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

That wicked woman, she even went and touched those stinky men's chests, why doesn't she want to touch his?

It's not like I won't let her touch me...

"Your Highness." Chu Yueli had no idea what the man behind her was thinking. After checking him over, she said, "They just arrived in Dongling. I'm afraid they'll stay in Xishan for no more than five days."

"You even managed to find out how long they've been here?" Liu Yun's eyes widened in astonishment. What kind of divine ability was this?

"The trees in the Xishan area are unique, and the surrounding mountains form a closed loop, making the environment inside particularly humid even in late autumn."

Chu Yueli stood up and glanced at Liu Yun: "Their skin is still a bit dry. If they had been here longer, it definitely wouldn't be this dry. Since you came here, have even the dry skin on your lips disappeared?"

These words made everyone think carefully, and afterwards, they were all filled with admiration.

When I was in Beijing, my lips were often chapped. As late autumn approached early winter, the weather was dry and my skin was very dry. My calves would even occasionally peel and itch.

But after arriving here and being trapped in the Stone Forest for several days, although my lips were chapped from lack of water, my skin was not so dry.

It is indeed a very magical thing.

"Therefore, these assassins from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not remain hidden in the Eastern Mausoleum all along; they came here after receiving a mission."

Jing Lei lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before looking at Lu Beimo: "Your Highness, I'm afraid the Third Prince hasn't arrived in Dongzhou yet."

Therefore, the current situation in Eastern Zhou is probably worse than they imagined.

I wonder how chaotic the internal power struggles within the royal family have become.
