Zhou Huailing howled. He did not want to stay here. He pointed at the monster in the pit and said, “Just kill it, kill it so that it won’t kill anyone else!”

Zhou Huailing was extremely frightened at this moment, obviously.

He had been frightened, but then he felt lucky before being frightened again. Now his head started to get muddled.

His heart stiffened.

Junyi was obviously frightened as well. He had never seen this thing in real life before, and he had never expected how horrible it would be and what methods he could do to deal with it.

However, just a moment ago, he witnessed the danger…

He was a strategist, after all, so of course he was going to be frightened.

Because of the fright, he reacted after a while. “Crown Prince, let’s go back to the office first. It is too dangerous here. You have to stay safe.”

Then he stopped the guards and decided to head back.

That was right…

Junyi did hope that the Crown Prince could do the work at Li Village personally, so that the civilians would know how devoted the Crown Prince was and Prime Minister Chu could see how sincere the Crown Prince was.

However, that was only going to happen when the Crown Prince was still alive.

He was going to get killed, if it continued like this. If the Crown Prince was dead, there was no use in getting the civilians’ trust and Prime Minister Chu’s help!

None of this would matter.

Their lives mattered above all.

Junyi got everything ready at the fastest speed and then left with Zhou Huailing.

Prime Minister Chu could not help shaking his head, seeing them dashing off. They were just too cowardly! They were afraid of death!

However, it was totally understandable under that circumstance.

It was good that they were gone.

Prime Minister Chu was going to see how to control this monster.

Also, since one of the monsters was trapped here, the other monsters would come to attack, he believed. He was going to get everything ready so that they could catch them all.

He was not going to allow the monster to injure the civilians. Prime Minister Chu thought emotionally.

Then he told his men to inform the villagers to stay alert and not come out.

As for the villagers… They were the first injured group, and though they were safe at the moment, they were still baits for the court. In order to avoid letting them get hurt, the court decided to let the civilians stay here instead of leaving. They were supposed to attract those things.

Prime Minister Chu found it cruel to treat civilians like this, but there was nothing he could do.

That was what they had to do just to deal with this matter. He was an officer, and he would do whatever he could to help civilians, but there was still a lot he could not do.

Prime Minister Chu sighed and started to get down to his own business.

***

Zhou Huailing and Junyi’s wagon had arrived at the office of Li County.

“Crown Prince, this is the office.” Junyi reminded him.

He had just said this, but there was no sound coming from the wagon.

Junyi reminded him again, but there was still no move inside.

Junyi was very worried that some accident had happened on the way.
