Meng Yuan's eyes became sharp in an instant, and he shielded Zhao Ling.

"Ling'er, be careful."

"Assassins!!! Protect the prince and princess." This was Yan Mo's voice.

Zhao Ling sighed in her heart. Her day couldn't really be more colorful and lively since assassins were now trying to kill them. She wondered why she couldn't find peace for a moment. She just want to go home, why did she meet an assassin?

There was a sound of weapons connecting outside, and it seemed that Yan Mo and the others had already started a fight with the assassins.

She suddenly thought that Lv Zhu was alone in the carriage in front of her. She was timid and must have been extremely frightened.

"A-Yuan, I'm going to see Green Bamboo." Zhao Ling wanted to get off the carriage.

Meng Yuan grabbed her. "Don't worry, Ling'er, someone will protect her."

Seeing how confident he was in his reply, Zhao Ling felt relieved.

The fighting continued for a long time, and it sounded that the battle was still fierce. It seemed that these assassins were not amateurs either. Zhao Ling thought to herself. The dark guards of the Xuanwang Mansion were all carefully selected elites in the Feiyun Cavalry. Whether fighting alone or in groups, they are all first-class, but these assassins could persist for so long.

Meng Yuan had been protecting her firmly. After a long time, the outside gradually returned to his previous calmness.

Yan Mo reported outside the carriage: "My lord, the assassin had been subdued, please handle it."

"Yeah." Meng Yuan agreed coldly.

Lifting the curtain, Zhao Ling got out of the car first, pushed the wheelchair from Chang Dong's hand, and helped him sit on it.

Luzhu also climbed out of the carriage tremblingly at this time, and when she saw Zhao Ling, she rushed in front of her and called out "Miss" nervously. Seeing that she was all right, she felt a lot more at ease. Suddenly, she felt scared and almost cried. out loud.

Zhao Ling patted her on the back to comfort her. "It's alright, don't be afraid."

Seeing her lady's calm and calm appearance, Lvzhu really admired it. She couldn't help but scold herself for being useless. She couldn't protect the young lady in a critical moment, and she also wanted the young lady to comfort her. Thinking of this, she wiped away her tears and calmed down.

Eunuch Li, who accompanied them back to the palace, also jumped out of the carriage, his face pale and seemed to be quite frightened.

If he had known that he would encounter such a great danger when he came to make an oral declarations, he should have pretended to be sick and bedridden at that time. Eunuch Li wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, regretting in his heart.

After the five black-clothed assassins were subdued, they knelt side by side on the open space in front of them, and were held by the guards of Xuanwang's mansion with knives around their necks.

Zhao Ling pushed Meng Yuan forward. Although Meng Yuan was sitting in a wheelchair, his back was straight, his eyes were sharp, his tone was cold, and he had the air of a king.

"Who sent you to assassinate this king?"

"We are just nearby bandits. Seeing that your caravan is prosperous and well-dressed, it must be a rich family, so we came to rob."

Several assassins spoke in unison, insisting that they were just bandits. .

"Hmph, is this king a three-year-old child?" Meng Yuan snorted coldly, "Yan Mo, let them tell the truth."

The excuses of these assassins are too lame. Zhao Ling smiled inwardly. At first glance, these few people were true assassins, well-trained, how could it be so simple for them to be a bandit.

However, although their excuses were lame, they were all tough guys. No matter how severely Yan Mo tortured them, he couldn't pry their mouths open.

Meng Yuan's patience was limited, he couldn't ask anything, and he didn't want to entangle him, so he gave the order neatly. "Kill them."

"Hold on, A-Yuan, let me try."

Seeing that Meng Yuan seemed to disagree, Zhao Ling patted the back of his hand resting on the armrest of the wheelchair, indicating that she was at ease, her face was always confident and calm.

She stepped forward slowly, glanced condescendingly at the assassins who were kneeling on the ground in front of her, and quickly chose one of the assassins who was a little younger with flickering eyes, and calmly commanded Yan Mo: "Leave him. Take the rest of the assassins down first."

Yan Mo took the order and gestured to the other four guards. The guard picked up the other four assassins and quickly retreated.

The remaining young assassin saw that all his companions were taken away, leaving him alone, his eyes narrowed, and he raised his head and shouted angrily to Zhao Ling: "If you want to kill me, you need to kill everyone of us, so why do you want to make fun of it? means!"

Zhao Ling ignored him and said to Yan Mo, "Yan Mo, open his mouth to see if there is anything."

These killers and so on, most like to hide poison in their mouths so that they can kill themselves if they miss, she doesn't want to waste her efforts.

Yan Mo understood and stepped forward to forcefully open the assassin's mouth. Sure enough, he found a small black plastic pill between his teeth.

The young assassin struggled desperately, his eyes bursting with anger, and he glared at Zhao Ling fiercely.

Zhao Ling ignored his anger, squatted down, took out the scalpel that she carried with her, and turned it skillfully in her hand with ease, her movements were calm and graceful.

Then she fixed her eyes firmly on the assassin and said slowly: "I know you really want to die now, but unfortunately, I won't let you die for the time being. You know why? Because what I want to do is to let you live rather than die."

"What do you want to do?"

Zhao Ling gave him a gentle smile. This smile was like a spring breeze, and the young assassin was stunned on the spot. There was only one thought in his mind, which was, this woman in a light blue skirt and elegant dress was really beautiful!

But what this beautiful woman said next made him tremble with fear.
