EBE Chapter 223 Interception
Chapter 223 Interception
"She met the Third Prince on the road, and then they arrived in Malacca together. The Third Prince must have taken a liking to her and agreed to help her buy food."
"Also, the King of Johor is planning to host a banquet to entertain the Third Prince tonight."
Xiang Yu reported.
"Do you know how much food Ning Jun wants to buy?"
"I know. I heard it's one million koku."
"It's only one million koku. I thought it was much more."
Ning Quan curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.
If it was several million stones, Ning Quan might still hesitate, after all, it was related to the life and death of more people in Daqian.
But it doesn’t matter if it’s only one million shi. At worst, I can just make up for it in full.
"Should we take action?" Xiang Yu asked.
“Of course we have to.”
"But let's stick to the original plan and do it tomorrow night."
"We'll leave right after we're done."
Ning Quan snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
"Yes."
Xiang Yu agreed respectfully.
"Let's go, let's go back first and come back tomorrow."
Ning Quan got up and left the teahouse.
Half an hour later, Ning Quan and others returned to the port.
Then they began to prepare and arranged for soldiers to enter the city and lie in ambush in advance.
Ning Jun brought hundreds of guards with him, so Ning Quan couldn't be careless.
......
The evening of the second day.
After everything was ready, Ning Quan led his men into the city, ready to take action as soon as dark.
As night falls, the night sky of Malacca is dotted with stars, like a sea of stars.
The streets are still bustling with people, and all kinds of shops are lit with lanterns, which makes it look very lively.
Ning Quan and his men sneaked quietly into the vicinity of the post station, waiting for the opportunity.
At this time, in the post house.
Ning Jun sat at the table drinking tea, in a happy mood.
Kim Hyo-joo sat aside with a complicated look in her eyes.
Although Ning Jun looks sunny and gentle, Kim Hyo Joo always feels that Ning Jun gives people a sinister feeling.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable.
But Kim Hyo-joo didn't show it on her face.
She also counted on Ning Jun to help her buy food.
Although Southeast Asian countries have not suffered from drought, their food production is not large, so it is not easy to purchase large quantities of food.
Although she was a princess of Silla, how could Silla be compared with Daqian?
At the banquet last night, the King of Johor did not agree to raise food for her.
So she can only rely on Ning Jun for this matter.
But she also knew very well that if she wanted Ning Jun's help, she would probably have to pay something.
Jin Xiaozhu was not a fool, so she could naturally see the lustful look that Ning Jun gave her from time to time.
But she would never give herself to Ning Jun, even if she couldn't buy food.
While Kim Hyo-joo was thinking, Ning Jun was also thinking about how to win her over.
Kim Hyo-joo is extremely beautiful, and it would be a great pleasure if she could be brought to bed.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly a noise was heard, disturbing Ning Jun's thoughts.
Ning Jun raised his eyes and looked outside, his expression suddenly changed.
Because he saw hundreds of masked men climbing over the wall of the inn.
"Come here, there's an assassin, protect me!"
This scene frightened Ning Jun, and he yelled,
In fact, the guards had already reacted without his orders and rushed towards the assassin.
Dozens of other guards quickly came to his side and surrounded him.
"Bang! Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, the assassin and the guards fought
For a moment, screams and wails were heard one after another, blood splattered everywhere, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Kim Hyo-joo was also shocked. She didn't expect that an assassin would break into the inn and assassinate her.
In a panic, she quickly retreated into the house under the protection of the guards around her.
"Princess, don't panic. You are not our target."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Kim Hyo-joo stopped and looked up, and saw a masked man standing not far away and speaking.
Although the man's appearance could not be seen clearly, he had a very good temperament and was handsome and elegant.
"You... who are you to dare to assassinate this prince?"
When Ning Jun heard this, he immediately realized that the assassin was coming for him, and he shouted angrily.
"Haha, you'll soon find out who I am."
"Hurry up, everyone, and get this done."
The masked man sneered and urged.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the assassins accelerated their attacks.
Several assassins also went straight towards Ning Jun.
"ah......"
Ning Jun's face changed drastically when he saw this. He screamed in fear and then backed away desperately.
But how could he run away? An assassin stopped him and knocked him unconscious to the ground with a palm strike.
The dozen or so guards in front of him were unable to stop the assassin and fell one after another.
After a few more minutes, the assassins had taken care of all of Ning Jun's guards, and all the servants in the inn were also under control.
At this time, the masked man slowly walked into the living room.
At this time, Ning Jun was lying on the ground and had already lost consciousness.
"who are you?"
"Why did you want to assassinate the third prince?"
Seeing the masked man approaching, Kim Hyo-joo looked at him warily, her heart beating wildly.
"You don't need to know who I am. But Your Highness, I heard that you are here to buy food."
The masked man chuckled and asked back.
"how do you know?"
When Jin Xiaozhu heard this, she was shocked.
"Haha, this isn't a secret, so why would you be surprised if you knew it?"
"Your Highness, are you interested in doing business?"
The masked man slowly walked forward, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Kim Hyo Joo and said.
"What business are you in?"
Kim Hyo Joo asked warily.
"What kind of business? Of course it's food business."
"I have food, lots of food, are you interested?"
The masked man said slowly.
"How can I trust you have food?"
"How do you know you're not up to any bad intentions?"
Kim Hyo-joo's eyes lit up, but then she became alert.
"Ha ha......"
Upon hearing this, the masked man threw his head back and laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
Kim Hyo Joo wondered.
"I laugh at Her Royal Highness the Princess for being so naive.
The masked man sneered.
"you......"
Kim Hyo Joo's pretty face turned red with anger.
"What do you mean by 'you'? If I had any ill intentions towards you, I would just arrest you. Why are you using so much nonsense?"
The masked man said sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Kim Hyo-joo was speechless.
What the masked man said was true. The inn was under control of the enemy. He only had a dozen guards with him, so it would be effortless to capture her.
"Of course, the choice of whether to trade or not is yours."
"If you want food, follow me. If not, forget it."
"Someone, evacuate quickly."
The masked man said this and waved his hand, signaling his men to retreat.
"and many more."
"I'll go with you."
Kim Hyo-joo hesitated for a moment, but decided to take a gamble.
After all, the people of Silla were still waiting for food to save their lives.
It is definitely not possible to rely on the third prince, he can't even protect himself.
"Very good, then follow me."
The masked man nodded and told everyone to retreat.
Kim Hyo-joo quickly followed behind him.
Soon, everyone left the inn and came to a house not far away.
Here, Ning Quan and others changed their clothes.
