Boom!
Hualala!
Suddenly, a dull thud was heard from the roof, and a huge hole appeared in the roof in an instant. Shattered tiles fell down like rain, and a masked man in black jumped down from the hole, stabbing fiercely at Ying Zheng with a rapier in his hand.
"Zheng 'er, be careful."
Lady Zhao's reaction was extremely fast. The moment she heard the commotion, she instinctively pulled Ying Zheng into her arms and turned her back to shield him.
Clang!
The moment the roof shattered, a figure that looked like a cheetah had already leaped in. He held a thin sword in his hand and blocked the killing sword. In the next moment, a stream of blood splattered from the throat of the black-robed man opposite him.
"There are assassins! Protect Madam and Young Master!”
At the same time, the voice of the guards outside could be heard, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching.
However, it quickly turned into shouts of killing.
Clearly, someone was pestering them outside.
They blocked the soldiers outside, giving the assassins enough time to sneak in.
……
"They can't get in."
A cold voice rang out from behind him. Soon after, two more people jumped into the hole in the roof, surrounding Ying Zheng, Lady Zhao, and the Startling Salamander.
"It wasn't easy for the Crown Prince of the Qin country to reunite with his wife and children. If you were to send your heads over to him, I wonder how Ying Zichu would react?”
A tall, masked assassin holding a rapier laughed coldly.
His killing intent soared.
"How dare you! Who sent you to attack the Great Qin Royal Family?”
Concubine Zhao hugged Ying Zheng tightly and shouted at the same time without showing any fear.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
Ying Zheng struggled slightly. At this moment, he was no longer the weak young man he used to be.
After getting out of Lady Zhao's arms, Ying Zheng held her jade-like hand with one hand and looked at the killers with a calm expression. Even in the face of danger, he was still as calm as ever." No matter who sent you, if you dare to assassinate the royal family of Great Qin, you will be sentenced to death.”
"Little brat, you're boasting. Let's see if you still dare to be arrogant after my sword pierces through your neck.”
"Do you think you are worthy of killing me?"
Ying Zheng was expressionless.
The fact that the Startling Salamander was not in a hurry meant that it was confident in killing these three people.
Therefore, Ying Zheng was not worried at all.
There weren't many first-rate experts. He didn't think that the person behind the scenes would be willing to send such an expert just to kill him, a young master of the State of Qin.
There weren't many experts like this in the Six Nations, but they were all very famous. How could they easily become assassins controlled by others?
If he was now Great Qin's Crown Prince, perhaps the other party would think so highly of him.
However, his current status was clearly not enough.
"Hmph, you think a little girl can protect you?”
The killer sneered disdainfully. Although the Startling Salamander had killed one of them before, it was obvious that it still did not put him in its eyes.
With their eyes, they naturally didn't know what a genius was.
"Kill them!"
With a shout, the three of them attacked at the same time.
Zhao Ji's body tensed up, ready to block the sword for her son at any time.
But in the next moment, something shocking happened.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the three experts had their throats cut.
The Startling Salamander had already returned to Ying Zheng's side.
From the beginning to the end, she did not say a word.
His expression did not change at all. All of this was done as if he was eating and drinking.
"What powerful strength. He really didn't lie to me!”
Zhao Ji came back to her senses and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
His heart was filled with joy.
Lu Buwei was still trustworthy.
"First-rate experts are indeed stunning.”
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up as well. That kind of speed had long surpassed the limits of the human body.
"Young Master's courage is equally stunning.”
The Startling Salamander sheathed its sword, hesitated for a moment, and unexpectedly replied.
Ying Zheng was a little surprised by this. He had thought that the Startling Salamander would remain silent.
Ever since Jing Li had first arrived at the Crown Prince's residence, he had teased him once. Jing Li had stopped talking to him and acted like he didn't want anyone to come in, which made him lose a lot of fun.
He didn't expect the Startling Salamander to answer this time.
This was considered an improvement.
"I'm not someone ordinary people can compare to!”
Lady Zhao rubbed Ying Zheng's face with a proud look.
At this moment, the fighting outside had stopped.
"Greetings to Madam and Young Master."
"I came late to save you, please punish me!”
Seeing that Ying Zheng and Lady Zhao were safe, the guard heaved a sigh of relief, then knelt down on one knee and said with his head lowered.
"Clean up the courtyard and continue to rest.”
Ying Zheng took a step forward and said lightly.
"Aren't we going to continue investigating?"
"There's no need."
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he shook his head." You guys will handle the garrison in the city. My mother and I are going to rest now.”
"Yes, Young Master."
When the guard saw this, although he did not understand, he did not say anything more.
"Zheng 'er, why didn't you investigate?"
"These people are audacious. They actually dared to attack and kill us.”
After changing to another room, Zhao Ji was still indignant. Her expression was filled with anger and fear.
Although they were used to being frightened in Handan, they were still in the Qin country, and it was still the Qin country's ancestral land. It was simply intolerable for them to encounter an assassination attempt.
When she thought about how the sword was so close to her son and how he would have been stabbed if he had taken another step forward, she still felt a lingering fear.
She did not dare to imagine what she would do if her Zheng 'er was really hurt.
She had painstakingly raised the child for so many years. If she lost him, she would go crazy.
However, Ying Zheng's expression remained calm as he said gently,""Mother, since they dare to come, it means that they have packed up their tails. We won't be able to find any useful information even if we investigate.”
These people were all third-rate warriors, so Ying Zheng knew that this was just a test.
The identities of these people were definitely very clean and would not leave any traces.
"Let them have it easy. If Mother finds out who attacked us, she will definitely get your father to avenge us!”
He said hatefully.
Ying Zheng knew that Lady Zhao was worried about him.
The Startling Salamander didn't speak from the beginning to the end.
He looked on coldly and guarded outside.
For an expert of her level, staying up for a few days and nights without sleep was very easy.
