[PS: Brothers, the reviews are a little too little. I'm kneeling down to the reviews!]
That night, there was no wind.
The drunk Zhu Gaochen and Yu Qian, who also reeked of alcohol, parted ways at the entrance of Lihua Garden.
With Zhao Yun's support, Zhu Gaochen dragged his exhausted body slowly towards the Southern King Mansion.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
Just as Zhu Gaochen and Zhao Yun were about to arrive at King Nan Manor…
Suddenly, a few black shadows dashed out of the alley and surrounded Zhu Gaochen and Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun reacted quickly and knew that these people were not friendly. She quickly shielded the sleepy Zhu Gaochen behind her.
Sweeping his gaze around, he found that there were six people in the other party. Moreover, they were all holding longswords, wearing night clothes, and wearing veiled scarves on their heads.
"How dare you. Do you know who we are?”Zhao Yun shouted and pulled out a dagger from her waist.
Because she was in the Ying Tian Prefecture, Zhao Yun rarely brought her own weapon out. Most of the time, she would carry a dagger.
"I don't care who you are. We were ordered to kill the people behind you. If you know what's good for you, hand over the people behind you and I'll spare your life.”
Among the six people, the one who spoke was a burly man. He stared at Zhu Gaochen with killing intent in his eyes.
As the other party was wearing a masked scarf, Zhao Yun had no idea what he looked like.
However, it could be inferred that the burly man was the leader of the six of them.
At this moment, Zhu Gaochen was completely immersed in his dreams.
Suddenly, he felt some noise in his ears. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw a few masked men holding long swords in front of him.
A gust of cold wind blew past. Coupled with the danger that his sixth sense sensed, Zhu Gaochen immediately sobered up.
"What happened?" Zhu Gaochen, who had sobered up, frowned and asked Zhao Yun.
"Your Highness, these people are here to assassinate you.”
Zhao Yun held a dagger in her hand and stared at the six people in front of her vigilantly. She did not dare to slack off.
"Oh? I didn't expect someone to remember me.”Zhu Gaochen was a little surprised and glanced at the six masked men in front of him with interest.
The leader of the masked men saw that Zhu Gaochen had woken up and suddenly shouted,""Attack!"
He knew that if he didn't end the battle quickly, if Zhu Gaochen shouted, the patrolling soldiers of Yingtian Prefecture would arrive at any time.
Once they lost this opportunity, it would not be easy for them to assassinate Zhu Gaochen again.
As soon as the masked man finished speaking, his subordinates raised their swords and charged at Zhu Gaochen and Zhao Yun.
Just as the other party charged over.
Zhao Yun handed the dagger in her hand to Zhu Gaochen, allowing him to protect himself with a weapon while she faced the criminal head-on with her bare hands.
Although the six masked assassins were wielding swords, the agile Zhao Yun did not take them to heart.
After a few exchanges, the six masked assassins were clearly no match for him.
The masked man realized that not only was Zhao Yun skilled, but she was also extremely difficult to deal with.
After much thought, he could only order his subordinates to hold Zhao Yun back while he seized the opportunity to grab Zhu Gaochen and charge over.
Zhao Yun saw the burly masked man rushing towards Zhu Gaochen while she was entangled by five assassins.
In desperation, Zhao Yun shouted at Zhu Gaochen,""Your Highness, run!"
Zhu Gaochen didn't listen to Zhao Yun's words and run away. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he watched the masked man charge towards him.
"Are you scared silly? That's good too, save me the trouble of chasing after him!"
Seeing Zhu Gaochen standing there without moving, the burly man thought that he was scared out of his wits.
Thinking of this, the burly masked man stabbed the sword in his hand straight at Zhu Gaochen's heart.
Just as everyone thought that Zhu Gaochen would be pierced by the sword…
A miraculous scene happened.
A crisp 'ding' sound was heard.
The sword in the masked man's hand did not hurt Zhu Gaochen at all.
Moreover, no matter how hard he stabbed, he could not move Zhu Gaochen at all.
"Are you stupid?" Zhu Gaochen grinned.
He was wearing a black tight-fitting robe that had been strengthened by the system. Ordinary swords could not pierce through it.
"This…"
The masked man's eyes revealed a hint of shock.
Before the masked man could react, Zhu Gaochen raised the dagger in his hand and slashed at the masked man's neck.
Ding!
The sword in the masked man's hand fell to the ground, and a crisp sound rang out.
Then, the masked man clutched his neck tightly, and blood kept pouring out from the gaps between his fingers.
After a few breaths, the masked man's body went limp and he fell to the ground, dead.
Seeing that the masked man was dead, his subordinates were instantly thrown into chaos.
At this moment, Zhu Gaochen threw the dagger in his hand to Zhao Yun. The latter reacted quickly and caught the dagger steadily.
"Leave only one alive. Kill them!" Zhu Gaochen ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zhao Yun's figure disappeared on the spot. In the darkness, a few cold lights flickered.
The remaining masked assassins fell to the ground and died.
Following Zhu Gaochen's instructions, Zhao Yun left behind a short masked criminal who was trembling in fear.
At this moment, the only surviving masked criminal felt extremely regretful. In just a short while, his accomplices were all dead.
And it was in a crushing manner!
"Don't... Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything!”
Looking at the corpses of his accomplices on the ground, the short masked criminal hurriedly took off his scarf and begged Zhu Gaochen and Zhao Yun for mercy.
"Bring him back to the residence!"
Zhu Gaochen looked around and ordered Zhao Yun to bring the short criminal back to the mansion for interrogation.
As for the corpses on the ground, the patrolling soldiers of Yingtian Prefecture would naturally discover them later. It was not within his scope of concern.
