"Young Master, I feel that His Majesty was not testing you earlier. If you had agreed to the position of Crown Prince, you might already be the Crown Prince now.”
After coming out of Xianyang Palace, Zhang Liang looked at the imperial edict in his hand.
He then looked at Ying Zi Xuan who was lying on the Crystal Salamander's legs, his legs crossed.
There was a hint of regret in his eyes.
After all, after listening to Ying Zixuan's description, Zhang Liang was basically certain that Ying Zheng really wanted to make Ying Zixuan the Crown Prince.
Unfortunately, he rejected her.
"I know Imperial Father didn't mean to test me, but at the same time, I didn't mean to brush him off.”
Ying Zi Xuan looked at Zhang Liang whose eyes carried a bit of regret, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Everything I said is the truth. The position of Crown Prince is now in my hands, and it can only be considered a burden.”
Although Zhang Liang didn't want to admit it, what Ying Zi Xuan said was also the truth.
"That's right. The position of Crown Prince is not currently in place, so those restless forces can still hold some hope. However, if the position of Crown Prince falls, then their tolerance for Young Master might…"
"Husband, something is wrong. Someone is following us."
Just as Zhang Liang was about to say something, the Crystal Salamander's voice suddenly sounded.
After hearing her voice, Ying Zi Xuan's expression also immediately became serious.
Zhu Long's voice sounded from outside the car window.
"Young Master, there's a group of people following us. They don't seem to have good intentions. You have to be careful."
As he spoke, Zhulong had already opened the wooden box behind him and pulled out two long knives.
The Crystal Salamander also grabbed the sword by its side and focused.
"Did someone attack me? In this busy city?"
Regarding safety, Ying Zi Xuan naturally wouldn't think that the Crystal Salamander and Torch Dragon would joke around.
Since they were so sure that someone had been following them all this time…
It was obvious that today's matter might be a little exciting.
"Do you have the confidence to deal with it?"
Zhang Liang didn't turn back to look, but quietly thought of a countermeasure.
If the other party really came prepared, then today was probably not good.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, but... He was afraid that Young Master would suffer…Young Master, be careful. Furen, take care to protect Young Master."
Zhulong spoke halfway when a carriage suddenly rushed out from the street in front of them, directly blocking the road ahead of Ying Zi Xuan's carriage.
Behind them, a carriage was also driving toward them.
Ying Zi Xuan's carriage was instantly sandwiched in the middle.
Zhu Long saw that things were not looking good. He took out a special whistle from his pocket and blew it loudly.
As for himself, after doing all this, he stood in front of the carriage with two sabers in his hands.
He looked around vigilantly.
The Crystal Salamander's slender hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
If there was an unexpected situation, she would immediately take action to protect Ying Zi Xuan.
As for Zhang Liang, all the muscles in his body tensed up.
If there was a hidden arrow, he would not hesitate to pounce in Ying Zi Xuan's direction.
"There's no need to be so nervous. It's not like I'm really powerless…"
Ying Zi Xuan looked at the extremely nervous Crystal Salamander and Zhang Liang, and he rolled his eyes somewhat speechlessly.
He had been practicing martial arts since he transmigrated, and he had also taken the Bodybuilding Pill.
To put it bluntly, even three to five elite soldiers of Great Qin were not his match.
As a result, the Crystal Salamander and Zhang Liang were so nervous that he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Master, or be careful,""Master." Young Master, be careful…"
While Zhang Liang was speaking, a burst of air-piercing sound suddenly sounded. On the roofs and pavilions on both sides of the street, a dozen masked men holding strong crossbows suddenly stood out.
Soon after, they shot towards the carriage Ying Zi Xuan was in.
The sharp arrow pierced the wall of the carriage with a sharp whistling sound.
The sound of metal and metal clashing rang out.
Those crossbow bolts that could easily pierce through wooden planks were actually all blocked by Ying Zi Xuan's carriage outer wall.
This scene stunned the masked men on the roof.
What was going on?
"There's something strange about his carriage. Let's end this quickly."
While they were still in a daze, a black clothed man who looked like the leader suddenly let out a low growl, then directly threw away the crossbow in his hand, grabbed the bronze short sword at the side and jumped towards Ying Zi Xuan's carriage.
Following his order, more than 20 masked men rushed out from the surroundings.
A large number of masked murderers also rushed out from the two carriages.
One by one, they rushed towards Ying Zi Xuan's carriage as if they were unafraid of death.
Zhu Long looked at the assassins who were rushing over from all directions, and his expression could not help but become a little solemn.
There were too many people. He could not guarantee that he could protect the safety of the carriage!
"Just let go. Try to leave a few alive to prevent the other party from taking poison to commit suicide.”
Just as Zhulong was hesitating, Ying Zixuan's voice rang out from the carriage.
Zhu Long nodded silently after hearing that.
Then, he jumped off the carriage.
The steel blade in his hand flashed with a cold light as he slashed at the two assassins who were charging at the front.
The two daggers in his hands slashed out, and two large heads flew into the air.
However, the others did not seem to have seen their companions die.
He continued to charge at Zhulong crazily.
There was no hesitation in his eyes.
After a short exchange, Zhulong immediately knew the identities of these people.
"Young Master, be careful, these people are all death warriors!”
This kind of fighting style that was close to risking his life, if it wasn't a death warrior, then what was it?
Zhulong only had time to shout this before he was entangled by the dare-to-die warriors who rushed up crazily.
These lunatics did not dodge his attacks at all. They even wanted to rush up and hug him.
No matter how high the martial arts level of the Mastery Stage was, it would not be able to unleash such a move.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards guarding the back of the carriage were in a similar situation as Zhulong.
If it were not for the fact that the few of them were facing the enemy together, they would have been forcefully replaced by the other party long ago.
After the guards were all held back, a dozen black clothed people directly rushed towards the carriage Ying Zi Xuan was in.
Their goal was clear:
to kill the person sitting in the carriage.
As long as he could kill him, it would be worth it even if all the people who came today died.
"Ignorant people. Sometimes, you don't even know what kind of enemy you're facing.”
"Zhulong, pay attention to dodging."
Just as those black clothed people were about to rush to the side of Ying Zi Xuan's carriage, Ying Zi Xuan's voice suddenly sounded from within the carriage.
Then, a few small windows suddenly opened around the carriage.
A few strange-looking things peeked out of the window.
After Zhulong heard Ying Zi Xuan's voice, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately swept his blade twice. After getting rid of the entanglement, he jumped onto the roof of the carriage.
Then, dozens of short arrows suddenly flew out of the carriage like a storm.
The frequency of their attacks was so fast that it was as if there were more than 20 archers hidden in a small carriage.
The masked men who had just approached the carriage did not even have time to think about what was going on.
The arrows had already pierced through his chest or limbs.
After dodging the first arrow rain, he only took a few seconds to catch his breath.
Another volley of arrows whistled through the air.
After the rain of arrows stopped, a group of people dressed in all kinds of clothes and holding standard long knives rushed over from the surrounding alleys.
The masked Assassins who had been stunned by the sudden rain of arrows instantly turned from being surrounded to being surrounded.
"Retreat quickly. If you can't retreat, you'll be defeated..."
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, one of the masked men wanted everyone to retreat quickly. If they couldn't retreat, they would just take poison and commit suicide.
However, before he could finish his words, Zhulong flew towards him from the top of the car.
Then, the calloused hand grabbed his chin accurately.
He pushed it to the side.
Since he had directly dislocated his jaw bone.
At the same time, he raised his leg and kicked the other party's kneecap like a heavy hammer.
With a crisp crack, the other party's knee was directly dislocated.
He didn't forget Ying Zi Xuan's order to leave one or two alive.
It didn't matter if it was complete or not, as long as it was still alive.
At this moment, in the carriage, Zhang Liang and the Crystal Salamander looked at the ordinary-looking weapon in their hands in a daze. Their eyes were filled with shock.
Such a strange weapon that could even be described as ugly had actually shot out ten sharp arrows in two breaths. Moreover,
after simply filling it with pills, another ten sharp arrows had shot out.
This weapon was completely made for killing!
