Yuan Tang, who was being hunted, fled frantically all over the place. How could he still be bothered to think about what kind of suspicion he just had on his head.

Usually, he would go out with his subordinates in tow, but whenever he came to Liu Yishengʼs place, he always came alone. That was because Liu Yisheng disliked being disturbed. He didnʼt even want to see Yuan Tang., let alone his subordinates.

Who could have expected that after so many incidents, he would meet with an accident today?

The assassins came fiercely, and each one was skilled and powerful. He could barely defend himself.

At first, the assassins only intended to shoot him, but after missing their shots several times, they no longer cared if there were others in the room. Several arrows almost hit Gu Jiao and Liu Yisheng.

In order to avoid implicating them, Yuan Tang gritted his teeth and said, ”Iʼll leave first!”

As Yuan Tang left, the assassinsʼ movements gradually subsided. It seemed they went to chase after him.

Liu Yishengʼs expression became grim.

Gu Jiao didnʼt know if he remembered something or simply worried about Yuan Tangʼs situation.

Indeed, Yuan Tang was in a difficult situation. The other party seemed determined to spare no expense in killing him.

No matter where Yuan Tang escaped to, he could feel the relentless pursuit of those people.

His martial arts might not be on par with the Dragon Shadow Guards, but he was at least among the top ten experts of the State of Chen. He believed he could hold his own against this group of assassins in single combat.

But there was a saying that went, ”Few cannot withstand many.”

The way back to the palace was completely blocked. It was clear the assassins didnʼt want him to return to the palace to get reinforcements.

”How despicable! If I catch whoever is behind this, Iʼll skin them alive!” Yuan Tang exclaimed.

He had no choice but to escape in a different direction.

He didnʼt know how long he had been chased until night fell, until the lights of the city were far behind him, and until his internal strength was depleted, leaving him unable to run any further.

He found himself trapped in an empty street corner.

As the day of the Mid-autumn Festival approached, the full moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool and chilly light on Yuan Tangʼs sweaty cheeks. His eyes emitted a sharp and icy gleam.

”Who are you people? Who sent you to kill this prince?” He asked coldly.

However, no one answered. Over a dozen black-clad assassins simply tightened their grip on their long swords and attacked him without hesitation.

Yuan Tangʼs folding fan turned, triggering a mechanism that produced countless small blades to block the swords that were aimed at his head.

At that moment, a sword also attacked from his side.

Yuan Tang promptly caught the sword with his left fingertips!

But it wasnʼt over yet; another wave of terrifying attacks came from behind him.

Yuan Tangʼs forehead throbbed.

There was no way to dodge it...

But just as things seemed dire, there was a sudden loud bang, and the black-clad assassins attacking him from behind let out tragic screams.

Everyone was startled by this sudden turn of events. People were always curious and fearful of the unknown. Because they didn’t know its exact lethality, they were hesitant to confront whatever it was and risked their lives.

The actions of the remaining assassins paused for a moment.

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Jiao threw several black gunpowder balls, forcing the other assassins who were about to surround and kill Yuan Tang to retreat.

Yuan Tang regained his senses and used his inner strength to repel the remaining four assassins around him.

Afterward, he felt exhausted.

Gu Jiao quickly stepped forward and supported him by the arm.

Yuan Tang knew that he couldnʼt reveal any weakness during the critical moment of the battle, otherwise they would surely pursue them relentlessly.

He stabilized his mind and tried not to let himself fall.

He stared at the assassins with hawk-like gazes and whispered to Gu Jiao, ”Thank you. Today, I owe you my life.”

Gu Jiao glanced at him indifferently, ”Is your life worth much?”

Yuan Tang replied, ”The future Crown Prince of the State of Chen—— don’t you think such a person’s life is valuable?”

Gu Jiao: ”Oh.”

”What did you use just now? Why was it so powerful?”

”Hidden weapon.”

Yuan Tang: ...I know it was a hidden weapon, but can you tell me what kind of hidden weapon it is?

Forget it. Now wasn’t the time to discuss this. Their priority was to quickly deal with this group of assassins.

Earlier, Gu Jiao injured three of them with her hidden weapon, but there were still eleven left. The problem was, Yuan Tang had exhausted all his strength while escaping, and now he could barely stand, let alone have a chance in a real fight.

Helpless, Yuan Tang said, ”I can only rely on you, Physician Gu.”

”Stand back.” Gu Jiao said.

Yuan Tang took a few steps back and stood by the wall.

The opponents still had eleven experts on their side. Yuan Tang didnʼt expect Gu Jiao to handle them all alone. He only hoped she could delay them for a while, giving him a chance to catch his breath and regain some strength to rejoin the battle.

To Yuan Tangʼs surprise, before he could catch his breath, half of the assassins on the opposite side had already fallen.

For real?

This girl was actually this good at fighting?

Gu Jiao was using a random long stick, not drawing any blood, but knocking people unconscious with the techniques taught to her by Old Marquis before he left.

She never expected it to be so effective.

The old man was truly quite impressive.

And she was quite impressive too.

”Wow, at this rate, do I even need to intervene?” Yuan Tang crossed his arms, feeling like this girl could handle the whole situation on her own.

But the next second, Yuan Tang realized he was celebrating too early.

”Stop! Otherwise, Iʼll kill him!”

With a fierce shout, a masked man in black appeared, pressing a sword against Liu Yishengʼs neck.

Yuan Tangʼs eyes darkened.

Cousin!

Gu Jiao threw one of the black-clad assassins in her hand and calmly looked at Liu Yisheng and the masked man, a dangerous glint appearing in her eyes.

”Let him go.” Gu Jiao said.

The tone of her voice brooked no doubt.

The fact that such a strong aura could emanate from a little girl surprised the masked man, but it was only a momentary surprise.

He coldly said, ”Daring to injure so many of my brothers, you have guts! Hand over that guy, and you can keep one of your hands as well, then this matter is settled.”

Liu Yisheng remained expressionless as he said, ”If it were you two who were captured right now, I wouldnʼt do anything.”

”You little brat! Shut your mouth!” The masked manʼs sword suddenly pressed closer to Liu Yishengʼs neck, the blade grazing his fair skin.

Gu Jiaoʼs gaze turned icy as she said, ”If you dare to harm even a single hair on him, Iʼll make sure you pay with your life!”

Both Liu Yisheng and Yuan Tang were stunned.

Neither of them expected Gu Jiao to say something like this.

A hint of complexity flashed in Liu Yishengʼs eyes as he looked at Gu Jiao, and Gu Jiao met his gaze.

Without hesitation, Liu Yisheng closed his eyes.

At the same time, Gu Jiaoʼs arm trembled slightly, and a dagger slid into her sleeve. No one saw how she did it, but before they could react, she had already shot the dagger out with overwhelming force!

The masked man saw that the dagger was about to hit the center of his forehead and hurriedly swung his long sword to block it. The dagger was deflected, but Liu Yisheng took this opportunity to escape!

”Damn it!” The masked man gritted his teeth!
