Prince An understood what Jiang Chi meant. As for those strange women in Nanxiang Country, they could even cook and eat living people, which showed how cruel they were.

"Everyone has weaknesses. You and I will take turns interrogating them. We will always be able to pry useful information out of them."

Prince An lowered his eyes to glance at the poison arrow wrapped in a cloth and held it tightly in his palm.

Jiang Chi agreed with what Prince An said, but they both knew that Lin Luoling's poisoning was imminent and they had no time to mediate and extort words from these women from Nanxiang Country.

Therefore, the two of them exchanged glances and headed for Prince An's Mansion at a very fast speed.

When they arrived at Prince An's mansion, Prince An and Jiang Chi hurried to the secret cell. Prince An had a solemn face and gave an order. The guards took all the torture instruments in the secret cell to the interrogation room.

When the female director of the Nanxiang State's Siwu Department was brought in by the guards, Prince An looked at her in surprise for a long time before confirming that it was the same person.

He never expected that the female director of the Food Department, who had no flower petals to eat, would age so quickly. She looked like a girl of eighteen or nineteen before.

But the female director of the Property Management Department in front of him had wrinkles around her eyelids, her eyes were slightly cloudy, and her face skin was obviously sagging.

She looks just like an old woman in her fifties or sixties.

The female director of the Department of Stuff's legs trembled slightly, and she begged for mercy, "Please let me go. I have said everything I need to say. Many of these things are secrets known only to the royal family. How could a manager like me know them?"

An Wangchen glanced at the female director of the Department of Materials, walked forward, spread out his palm, lifted the cloth wrapped around the poison arrow, and asked, "Do you recognize this arrow feather?"

Prince An carefully observed the female director of the Siwu Department and found that when the female director saw the poison arrow, her turbid eyes suddenly flashed a fleeting light.

The next moment, the female director of the Ministry of Things asked in shock, "Did the princess bring people to Xuzhou?"

Last time, Prince An and Jiang Chi learned from the female director of the Siwu Department that the Nanxiang Kingdom also established the eldest son as the heir, and the eldest princess was in charge of the female generals and soldiers of the Nanxiang Kingdom.

Prince An raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did you know that it was the Princess of your Nanxiang Kingdom who brought people here?"

The female director of the Stuff Department said without hesitation: "This arrow is only owned by our eldest princess's left and right guards. The bows and arrow feathers were specially made for them by the eldest princess."

"Oh?" Prince An's ears moved, and he asked again: "How many guards does your princess have?"

"The princess has three guards. They are extremely good at archery and are well-known in our Nanxiang country. Moreover, they are descendants of the royal family. This is an ancestral archery skill that has not been passed down to outsiders."

Although the number of people matched, Prince An only believed three-tenths of what the female director of the Siwu Department said.

He said, "Since they are the princess's guards, how could they only be proficient in archery? Your Nanxiang country is surrounded by mountains and shrouded in fog. There are no birds or beasts. They usually make a living by fishing and picking mushrooms and flower petals. Why do they practice archery so hard?"

Jiang Chi fanned himself and stood up lazily, laughing sarcastically, "You praised them too much, saying that their archery skills were amazing and accurate. It was such a coincidence that the three of them just happened to meet me, and I captured them alive before ten moves. I wonder if your eldest princess will cry out in grief after losing these three capable men."

Upon hearing this, the female director of the Department of Stuff blurted out, "What the hell, how could you possibly catch them? They can Apparition. Not to mention that you can't catch them, even if I lead all the servants of the Department of Stuff, I can't catch even one of them."

After saying this, the female director of the Property Management Department pretended to be regretful, lowered her head, and said nothing more.

Upon seeing this, Prince An turned around and exchanged a glance with Jiang Chi. After distinguishing the truth from what the female director of the Property Department had just said, they both understood one thing: the eldest princess should have more than three guards, and what they were proficient in was not archery, but the art of apparition.

Now Prince An finally understood one thing, why neither he nor He Hongkun heard the sound of bows and arrows. At that time, in order to accurately shoot Prince An, they used the art of apparition to draw bows and shoot arrows outside the curtain of the carriage.

The bows and arrows used by these guards are specially made by the Nanxiang Kingdom, and there is no sound when the bow is drawn.

Thinking of this, Prince An couldn't help but feel fortunate that he and Lin Luoling reacted in time, otherwise, they would both be shot in the carriage, and He Hongkun would not even notice it.

Prince An suddenly remembered that the first arrow shot into the carriage and scratched his left arm. At that time, he clearly heard the whistling sound of the arrow.

Prince An asked with cold eyes: "What kind of poison is used to temper the arrow feathers?"

The female director of the Stuff Department raised her head and asked, "Young Master, was shot by an arrow?"

"Hehe..." With a cold smile, Prince An stared at the female director of the Ministry of Items with his hands behind his back and said, "If I were shot by an arrow, would I still be able to stand in front of you?"

The female director of the Bureau of Items looked Prince An up and down, and then looked carefully at the half-arrow feather in Prince An's hand, and said, "This arrow feather is not poisonous. Even if the young master was shot by the arrow, as long as the injury is not fatal and it has been bandaged, how can I know it?"

"It seems that you don't speak much truth." Jiang Chi picked up a red-hot iron and said, "Anyway, I have already captured the three guards. Since you refuse to tell the truth, why don't I burn your mouth first, then use the torture instruments here on you one by one, and then send you to see the King of Hell with my own hands."

Prince An nodded slightly and said, "It is useless to keep her. Just deal with her as you wish."

After saying that, Prince An walked out.

Seeing the red-hot iron getting closer and closer to her face, the female director of the Department of Items shouted in fear: "Even if you capture them alive, you can't get anything out of them. They carry 'Ice Fragrance Soul-Stirring' with them. Just one drop will kill them within a quarter of an hour.

The life and death contract they signed with the princess means that if they are caught, they will lose their lives on the spot. If they take the 'Ice Fragrance' and bite the enemy, the enemy will die within seven hours."

Upon hearing this, Prince An stopped immediately and turned to look at the female director of the Siwu Department.

He suddenly realized that the first arrow shot by the Princess of Nanxiang's guards failed to kill him, so they must have dropped a drop of "Ice Fragrance" on the tip of the second arrow, and then used the Apparition Technique to shoot the second arrow.

Jiang Chi held the red-hot iron in front of the mouth of the female director of the Department of Property Management, smiled, and asked casually:

"Such a powerful poison? Are you bragging again? Just now you said that the three of them were great archers and that they were proficient in the art of Disapparition. They were so powerful that they could be captured alive by this prince. Now you are saying that 'Ice Fragrance' is a difficult poison to cure.

Tsk... it's just a lie."

As he spoke, the branding iron held by Jiang Chi moved an inch closer to the mouth of the female director of the Materials Department.

The burning sensation came over her face, and the female director of the Department of Items hurriedly said, "I am not lying, this is true. 'Ice Fragrance' is a poison that only the female monarchs and princesses of the Nanxiang Kingdom have. It is used to control these guards. Moreover, there is no antidote for 'Ice Fragrance'. Once taken, death is certain."
