“Come with me to help on this, then.” After the Third Prince finished speaking, he left the tent.

The couple knew the villagers had been captured and immediately followed him.

The Third Prince asked the leading general, “Have you brought everyone?”

“Yes, I brought everyone from the village.” The general nodded.

The Third Prince nodded and sat on a carriage parked at the side.

When the general saw this, he went forward and swept his gaze across the crowd. “This is the Third Prince; he will let you all go as long as you tell the truth. Otherwise, don’t blame us for giving you a taste of your own medicine.”

At this moment, Zhou Ying spread her spiritual senses to ‘look’ at everyone.

Most of them had panicked looks on their faces, and their eyes were filled with despair. Only two people looked afraid, but their eyes were filled with coldness and a murderous intent; there was no hint of panic.

Soon, someone came with a bucket of water. The general pointed and said, “Look at how clear the water is, but it was poisoned by you all. What a pity.”

“We didn’t…” an old man raised his head and refuted angrily.

When Zhou Ying saw him, she remembered that he had been monitoring the captain as he drew water in some ruins.

She poked Gu Chengrui, and he immediately thought of the old man she had mentioned before. Thus, he went forward and scooped out a bowl of water. “Very well. Drink this bowl of water, and I’ll believe you.”

The old man snorted coldly. “Child, how can you be so rude? I’m already so old. If you let me drink cold water, wouldn’t that make me have a stomachache?”

“How do you know it’s cold water? It’s boiled, and it just cools down. You won’t get a stomachache. Don’t worry.” After finishing speaking, Gu Chengrui lifted the bowl to the old man’s mouth.

When the old man saw this, he immediately took a step back. When the general saw this, he immediately understood that the old man had probably participated in this sabotage. He went forward to take the bowl from Gu Chengrui’s hand and then gave a soldier who was holding the old man a look.

The soldier understood this and held him down tightly. When the general saw this, he pinched the old man’s chin, pouring the bowl water into him.

Although the old man struggled with all his might, he was still forced to drink a few mouthfuls.

Another person hiding in the crowd saw this and shook off the soldiers beside him. He then quickly rushed out of the crowd.

He pulled an iron hairpin from his hair and quickly rushed out of the crowd to stab the Third Prince.

The Third Prince was slightly surprised but still dodged to the side and simultaneously kicked the assassin in the chest.

Although the assassin managed to dodge the kick in time, he staggered back a few steps before stabilizing his body.

When the soldiers saw this, they immediately protected the Third Prince behind them, then raised their swords and rushed over.

When the assassin saw this, he knew he no longer had a chance. He took a bag from his pocket and was about to throw it at everyone. When Zhou Ying saw this, she immediately shouted, “Step back!”

She then used her slingshot to shoot at the assassin’s hand holding the bag of powder.

Although the assassin had thrown the bag of powder out, it didn’t get very far. Instead, the bag of powder fell around him.

At the same time, the soldiers retreated.

They later saw the assassin suffocating. He clasped his chest tightly and laid down stiffly a moment later.

“What’s this? Why is it so poisonous?” At this moment, a soldier curiously took two steps forward and exclaimed when he saw the assassin who was instantly poisoned to death.

“If you don’t want to die, stay away.” Gu Chengrui warned.

“Dig up a trench and bury him immediately,” he ordered.

A few soldiers close to the assassin felt their hair stand on end when they heard that. They immediately took an iron shovel to the side and buried the body and powder.

“Doctor Gu, do you know what kind of poison it is?” The Third Prince asked..
