The power of Yang Yuhuan's shout was definitely not inferior to Aimu's. The assassins were also shocked by Yang Yuhuan's shout and froze.
Just as Yang Yuhuan was shouting, a figure flashed past them like the wind.
Li Yao ran out of Ayi Mu's room and closed the door behind her.
Li Yao rushed to Yang Yuhuan's side before the assassins made their move. She looked at the assassins and said,""Come on! Are you guys going to fight alone or together?”
Those people looked at Li Yao as if they were looking at a corpse.
Didn't Li Yao also look at them in the same way?
Just as these people were about to pull it out and attack, a burly man suddenly appeared behind them. He was wearing leather armor and holding a spear in his hand. He had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. He was valiant and mighty.
This burly man was none other than Ashina Sheer, who Li Yao had drawn tonight.
Ashina Sheer didn't waste any time talking to the assassins. He raised his spear and started killing in the crowd.
The guards of the Imperial Residence of E heard the commotion in the garden and ran to the garden in an attempt to save the Emperor. However, they came a little late, and Ashina Sheer finished them off in a short while.
"Old Ah! Leave him alive!" Just as Ashina Sheer was about to kill the last person, he was interrupted by Li Yao.
Ashina Sheer stopped the spear that was about to stab the assassin, but the assassin did not stop because of Ashina Sheer's mercy. He still raised his saber and rushed towards Li Yao.
Ashina Sheer saw this and couldn't help but get angry. He ended the man's life with a spear.
Li Yao didn't even have time to stop him.
"Sigh…It seems like this person is deliberately seeking death. Men, search the bodies of these people and see if you can find anything!”Li Yao said with a frown.
"Alright, alright, they're all dead. Don't be afraid. You've been on the battlefield. Isn't the battlefield scarier than this?”Li Yao hugged Yang Yuhuan, who was still in shock, and comforted her.
" Where... where did they come from..." Yang Yuhuan asked with a trembling voice.
"There will be an answer soon." Li Yao looked at the corpse on the ground meaningfully and said,""Come, let me help you back to rest.”
"Who can still sleep? Accompany me back to my bedroom." Yang Yuhuan said with some fear.
"Alright, I'm not going anywhere." Li Yao smiled dotingly. "Clean up the garden after you've searched the corpses.”
Li Yao held Yang Yuhuan in her arms as she commanded. Then, he brought Yang Yuhuan back to his bedroom and comforted her,"It's okay. I'll stay here with you. Sleep peacefully.”
Yang Yuhuan, who had calmed down, asked about the fragrance on Li Yao's body. She smiled and asked,"Did you go look for Princess Ayimu just now?”
"Just now, the assassin came down from her house. I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I rushed in to protect her. Don't think too much. Go to sleep." Li Yao said.
He did not want to be snubbed and tell Yang Yuhuan about the good scenery he saw at Ayimu's place.
After a while, Yang Yuhuan finally fell asleep again.
"Your Highness, there's a result." The guard captain whispered to Li Yao at the door.
"Alright, this king will be there immediately."
In the hall, the sabers used by the assassins were neatly placed on the ground.
There were more than 20 waist tags on the table in the lobby. There was no order or pattern in the numbers on them.
"Your Highness, after we carefully searched these people, we didn't find anything other than these waist tokens and these knives.”The guard captain reported.
"Is there any evidence on their bodies that can tell us where they came from?”Li Yao asked.
"No, Your Highness. We searched them thoroughly, but there were no marks or marks on their bodies that could prove their origins.”The guard captain said after thinking for a moment.
"Alright, bring some people and put away these knives and waist tokens. Remember not to wear them outside tonight. Take advantage of the fact that the sky is still dark to clean up these corpses on the mountain outside. Be careful, don't let anyone find out." Li Yao instructed.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness." As he spoke, the head guard led his men out.
Li Yao stayed in the lobby alone, wondering who sent these people.
Others might not be able to see it, but Li Yao knew it herself.
It was obvious that someone wanted to prevent him from seeing Emperor Xuanzong, or to prevent Ayi Mu from seeing Emperor Xuanzong.
Li Yao could easily guess who this person was.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of Li Yao'E's palace.
The person the butler led in was none other than Guo Ziyi.
"Big brother, why did you come back first? Old General Feng had returned with his army?”Li Yao was surprised to see Guo Ziyi.
"General Feng is still outside Tongguan with his army. However, a few days ago, something happened in the army. We all felt that it was not simple, so the three of us discussed it and sent me back to inform you first.”Guo Ziyi said.
"Don't be anxious. Come in and we'll talk slowly.”Li Yao looked at Guo Ziyi, who was anxious.
"Second brother, why do you have a murderous aura?”Guo Ziyi keenly sensed it.
"Just a moment ago, there were twenty or so assassins who barged into the Imperial Residence of E at night. They were all killed by the guards of the Imperial Residence.”Li Yao said calmly.
"What? You also encountered an assassin?" Guo Ziyi stood up in shock.
"Who else was assassinated?" Li Yao asked.
"A few days ago, Old General Feng and the witnesses we found were assassinated by a group of assassins of unknown origins.”"Fortunately, they were discovered by General Li, who led his men to search the camp. Old General Feng was safe and sound, but…" Guo Ziyi frowned.
"But what?" Li Yao asked hurriedly.
"The witnesses we found in the barracks were burned by those assassins.”Guo Ziyi looked dejected.
Li Yao didn't react as Guo Ziyi had expected.
When he heard that the military camp had also been attacked, he knew what he would lose.
"Did those people only have knives and waist tokens?”Li Yao asked calmly.
"That's right. It seems like these people are in cahoots with the assassins from the Imperial Residence of E.”Guo Ziyi nodded and said," Second Brother, in your opinion, who sent these people?”
"I'm willing to believe that Li Linfu is behind this, but I don't have any evidence.”Li Yao said," I don't know if you've noticed, but when there's only one person left, they will continue to assassinate even if they have to die.”
"Old General Feng wanted to keep one of them alive, but in the end, he was forced to kill the last of them.”Guo Ziyi shook his head helplessly." It's obvious that they're a group of death warriors.”
"Looks like I underestimated Li Linfu.”Li Yao narrowed her eyes as she looked at the sky that was gradually brightening up." Li Linfu is indeed a honey-mouthed man with a sharp heart. He's so cunning behind my back.”
Guo Ziyi pondered over Li Yao's words and also fell into deep thought.
