"Boom…"
The arrow was nailed to the carriage, almost piercing through the wooden board.
"Kill…!"
Immediately after, dozens of men in black wearing bamboo hats and wielding swords charged toward the carriage.
"Assassins!"
"Protect the Crown Prince!"
Seeing that there was an assassination attempt, the guards following the carriage drew their weapons and formed a battle formation in an orderly manner, protecting the carriage in the middle.
They were all black-armored internal guards who had been transferred from the Imperial Palace. Each of them was an elite who had experienced hundreds of battles!
He didn't panic at all when he was ambushed!
This was also the reason why Meng Yi left Ying Ziye's side without worry.
With these guards around, ordinary assassins would be courting death!
"They really came quickly!"
Ying Ziye grabbed the Tianwen sword, lifted the curtain, and got off the carriage.
Looking at the assassins in black rushing over from all directions, there was no panic or fear on his face. He always looked calm and composed.
He had just been appointed as the Crown Prince, and he had only started to raid the homes of the aristocrats two days ago!
The people who wanted to kill him were Zhao Gao and the anti-Qin remnants who had close ties with the aristocrats.
Zhao Gao's entire family had been exterminated by him!
It was obvious that the person who had tried to assassinate him was an anti-Qin traitor!
"Your Highness?"
Xuewu also lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage. When she saw Ying Ziye's calm and composed appearance, she was slightly relieved.
"Can you tell who these assassins are?”
Ying Ziye asked with his hands behind his back.
"They…"
Xuewu was about to shake her head, but she suddenly realized something and her beautiful eyes widened in shock." Reporting to the Crown Prince, some of them might be assassins sent by the Mo Family!”
As she spoke, she looked up at Ying Ziye. When she found that he wasn't angry, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Go back and tell Ziyi that this prince has given her one day to clear out all the Mo family's strongholds in Xianyang City!”
"Annihilate all the disciples of the Mo family within ten days!”
"If one of them escapes, this prince will kill one person from the Drunken Fragrance Manor!”
"If you don't complete the mission on time! There was no need for the Drunken Fragrance Restaurant to exist!”
"You can look for Meng Yi and Zhang Han to dispatch the troops. They will assist Drunken Fragrance Manor!”
Ying Ziye lightly gave the order.
He seemed to be talking about an insignificant kid, and his tone was extremely calm!
However, Xuewu could clearly sense the dense killing intent from his body!
She had a premonition that if she could not complete the mission, the people of Drunken Fragrance Restaurant would die without a burial place!
"Yes, sir!"
Xuewu sighed in her heart and helplessly cupped her hands to accept the order.
She was once a disciple of the Mo family.
However, she still had some feelings for the Mo Family!
She had the intention to let the Mo family off, but if she did that, the sisters of the Drunken Fragrance Brothel would suffer!
She had no choice but to cooperate with Drunken Fragrance Brothel to deal with the Mo Family!
Ding ding dang dang…!
At this moment, dozens of assassins had already rushed forward and started fighting with the black-armored elites.
Although these people had the advantage in numbers, with the tacit cooperation of the guards, they could not get close to the carriage at all!
"Giddyup!"
"Protect the Crown Prince!"
Right at this moment, Meng Yi led his troops and charged over.
With just one charge, almost a hundred assassins in black were left.
"Leave a few alive!"
Seeing that the battle was coming to an end, Ying Ziye gave an order, then boarded the carriage and returned to the Crown Prince's residence.
The remaining mess was left to Meng Yi to deal with!
……
"I wonder how the situation is?"
In Xianyang City's Jixia Learning Palace, a square-faced man with a sword strapped to his waist was pacing back and forth. He would occasionally glance at the main gate, appearing rather anxious.
"Don't worry. This time, the scholarly faction and the Mohist faction have joined forces. This evil creature will definitely not survive!”
Yan Qingyuan, the great scholar of Jixia Learning Palace, stroked his beard and said confidently.
"By the way, is the person you're looking for reliable?”
The man seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly stopped and asked with a frown.
"They are all outlaws. They only care about killing people for money and never ask who they want to kill!”
"It should be reliable!"
"Moreover, the person who contacted them is one of my disciples!”
"Even if they were caught, who knows who hired them!”
Yan Qingyuan nodded and said confidently.
"I hope so!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, just as he finished speaking, the door of Jixia Learning Palace was knocked open. A man who was pretending to be a man ran in in a panic.
"Not good, Commander Gao, we failed!”
"That little devil ran away!"
The man in tight-fitting clothes wiped the sweat off his forehead and panted.
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
Yan Qingyuan's eyes widened. The scholarly faction had spent a lot of money to find dozens of fugitives.
Moreover, he knew the number of guards around the Crown Prince. How could he have failed?
"Although that kid doesn't have many guards, they are still protecting him with their lives.”
"Not long after we attacked, Meng Yi led his troops over.”
"Two of them were captured alive. To prevent any accidents, this subordinate suggests that we immediately move out of the city.”
"If they confess, it will be too late for us to leave!”
"In addition, in addition…"
The man in the tight-fitting outfit seemed to have some misgivings as he looked at the square-faced man and hesitated.
"What else?"
"Hurry up and say it!"
The square-faced man frowned slightly and urged impatiently.
"In addition, I saw Commander Xue standing beside that little demon, but she didn't make a move!”
The man paused for a moment and continued,""Looking at how respectful she is to the Crown Prince of Qin, it seems that she has already betrayed the Mo family. Commander Gao, please make a decision as soon as possible and retreat from Xianyang City as soon as possible!”
"Evacuate?"
"I was wondering what it was. So it's this matter!”
"This is a good thing!"
"If I'm not wrong, that little devil isn't far from death!”
To the man's surprise, not only was his commander not afraid, he even laughed.
"The two righteous men have been captured, and Commander Xuewu has defected to the Crown Prince. This old man also feels that we shouldn't stay here for long and should evacuate as soon as possible!”
Yan Qingyuan, who had been confident just a moment ago, immediately panicked when he heard what the man in tight-fitting said.
"I sent her a letter the night before yesterday, ordering her to choose an opportunity to assassinate the Crown Prince!”
"If she had sided with the Crown Prince, how could we still be alive?”
"I'm afraid they would have been wiped out long ago!"
"She got close to that kid most likely to gain his trust and take action at the right time!”
"As for the two people who were captured, they might be those fugitives!”
"The disciples of my Mo family always carry poison with them. If they are caught, they will definitely commit suicide by taking poison!”
"So, don't worry at all!"
"There's no need to evacuate Xianyang!"
After the square-faced man analyzed the situation, everyone was relieved.
"We can't retreat from Xianyang before the great event is completed!”
"Once they leave Xianyang, that group of people will be without a leader!”
"Continue to gather information and prepare to act according to the plan!”
The square-faced man placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and ordered coldly.
