I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 272 What kind of monsters are around the prince?

"Escort!"

Wei Kang and Guo Zhen's faces also changed drastically. They immediately drew their swords from their waists and protected Liu Ju behind them, one on the left and one on the right.

In fact, before Liu Ju entered the guest hall of the county government, the accompanying Qimen warriors had already searched the place. However, no one had expected that there was a tunnel dug under the guest hall, hiding so many assassins.

And these people were so cruel as to assassinate the crown prince!

But this is obviously a backup plan.

Whether it is Houjing County Magistrate Jia Xun or these assassins, they are now "pawns" who are sacrificed to protect the king.

Once they were exposed, they would have no way out and could only try their best to cut off the clues and prevent Liu Ju from continuing his investigation.

As for what happens next, they are definitely not going to survive today, so they just want to save the most important people. Why would they care about the flood that may happen to other people?
"That 'do it' was directed at me!"

Fortunately, when Liu Ju heard the word "take action", he had some doubts in his heart.

Although these assassins appeared extremely suddenly and unexpectedly, Liu Ju did not lose his mind. He immediately stood up and jumped forward, jumping over the table full of dishes in front of him, then turned around and kicked the table over, using it as a shield in front of him.

As a prince, he had no habit of carrying weapons.

But there was no need for that, because under normal circumstances he would never have the opportunity to take action himself.

Even though the incident happened suddenly, there were already Qimen warriors guarding outside the hall. As long as he, Wei Kang and Guo Zhen could hold out for a few breaths, these most elite Qimen warriors would be able to rush to his side to protect him.

By then, let alone these dozen assassins, even if there were ten times more, they would never be able to get close to Liu Ju.

However, these few breaths are also extremely dangerous.

"kill!"

As he was speaking, a dozen assassins had already approached.

Wei Kang's martial arts skills were obviously lacking. In a panic, he swung his sword to block an assassin's sharp blade, but was forced back a step by the more domineering chopping force of the ring-handled sword. He had no choice but to wave his sword around randomly, protecting Liu Ju while fighting and retreating.

Guo Zhenze was much more ferocious. He immediately deflected the oncoming knife and took advantage of the situation to duck and stab the attacker under the armpit, easily knocking one of them down. Then he used his sword to block left and right. Although he was not very skilled at it, the several assassins who came with him were unable to break through for a while.

Under such circumstances, the pressure naturally fell on Wei Kang's side.

"Be careful, cousin!"

Seeing two assassins taking the opportunity to go around to the side, they attacked Wei Kang from above and below, who was caught off guard.

Liu Ju was quick to act and immediately lifted up the table to block it.

"Bang! Bang!"

After blocking the two sword attacks as he wished, Wei Kang finally realized how dangerous he had been in, and his face was filled with shock.

However, at this moment there were still assassins attacking from the front. He had no time to catch his breath, let alone express his gratitude to Liu Ju.

And at this moment, a gap appeared in front of Liu Ju.

Seeing this, an assassin immediately rushed forward with a knife.

"Your Highness!"

Guo Zhen immediately turned around to rescue him, but Liu Ju also dodged sideways.

But suddenly, something flew over from the side and behind, and hit the assassin head-on with a "bang", blocking the knife with force.

That looks like a seat!
at the same time.

A figure rushed up closely behind him, pounced on the assassin who was about to attack again, grabbed the assassin's knife-holding arm, and wrestled with him barehanded.

Only at this moment did Liu Ju see clearly the identity of this person.

This person was no one else but Wei Chen, the governor of Hejian County. He was not only fighting for Liu Ju, but also for himself...

"Shh!"

An assassin nearby saw this and slashed at Wei Chen's shoulder with a knife, causing blood to immediately flow out of his shoulder.

Unfortunately, he rushed forward so recklessly that Liu Ju had no time to rescue him.

Fortunately, Gongsun Jingsheng had already rushed to the other side at this time, and attacked the assassins from the side like a tank. With only two slashes, two assassins flew backwards with blood spurting out.

However, Wei Kang was still under considerable pressure. Seeing that the situation was not good, the three assassins attacked with their swords even more desperately.

"hiss!"

As Wei Kang screamed in pain, his right arm holding the sword was injured and he could hardly hold the sword in his hand.

The three assassins were encouraged upon seeing this, and they all brandished their swords and tried to force their way past Wei Kang and take Liu Ju away before he died. How could Liu Ju let them do as they wished? He immediately raised the table in his hands to resist.

at this time.

"ah!"

Accompanied by a sharp whistle.

Another slender figure suddenly rushed up from the side of the three assassins, and knocked the three of them more than ten feet away with one move, and then fell to a ball with a "bang".

"Yi Shuo?!"

Liu Ju was shocked.

Although Yi Shuo possesses extraordinary powers, he is unarmed and should not join in the fun at this time.

Moreover, although the situation seemed dangerous at the moment, Liu Ju knew what was going on. Gongsun Jingsheng had already charged into the enemy camp, and some Qimen warriors had also rushed to the front. He only needed to use the table to block the final attack of the three assassins, and everything would be over...

However, after Yi Shuo pushed the three men out, his momentum remained unabated.

In just two steps, she caught up with the three assassins who were knocked unconscious by the collision, and quickly stretched out her right hand to poke and wipe the three people. Then, before the three people could react, she quickly retreated and returned to Liu Ju in an instant.

"?"

Liu Ju had no idea what Yi Shuo had just done.

It was not until Yi Shuo stood in front of him with her back to him that he noticed that her legs were trembling and her right hand was stained with bright blood.

"Snapped!"

A drop of blood dripped from her right hand and hit the ground with a slight sound.

Yi Shuo is injured?!

at the same time.

"呲-"

Liu Ju was about to ask when he heard a strange noise and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw that among the three assassins who were knocked to the ground by Yi Shuo, two of them were struggling to stand up.

But the faces of these two men were visibly paler, and one had his arm and the other had his thigh, and two streams of blood were spurting out like water guns.

The remaining assassin was desperately covering his neck, but he couldn't stop the blood from gushing out.

"This is……"

Liu Ju seemed to understand something.

Looking at Yishuo's right hand which was dripping with blood, he suddenly saw a small scalpel between the fingers!

at the same time.

Gongsun Jingsheng and the Qimen warriors who rushed forward shortly after had completely taken control of the situation. Liu Ju and the others were also surrounded and protected, and no one could threaten them anymore.

Most of the dozen or so assassins had already died, and the rest were lying on the ground groaning and unable to move.

At this moment, they were also staring at the three assassins who were spraying fountains of human blood, and for a moment they had not figured out what had just happened to the three assassins.

Just a few seconds later.

The assassin lying on the ground with his hands covering his neck had completely gone limp, and his hands slowly loosened and dropped to the side. Although he hadn't closed his eyes yet, the rise and fall of his chest had become smaller and smaller.

"Plop!" "Plop!"

The other two assassins who were standing suddenly went limp and fell on their backs to the ground.

"This……"

Gongsun Jingsheng walked forward and kicked them twice. After confirming that there was no hope of saving them, he squatted down and carefully examined the wounds of the three people.

Only then did he realize that except for a one-inch-wide cut on one person's arm, the other two people only had small wounds about one finger wide on their necks and thighs.

Gongsun Jingsheng was immediately shocked and turned around in surprise to look at Yi Shuo who was standing beside Liu Ju.

It's not that he had never seen blood, nor had he never seen blood spurting, nor had he never seen people being stabbed to death by a sword. However, the method of spurting blood like a fountain with every sword blow like the one before him, such a simple blow that could ensure that the enemy would bleed to death, was something he had never heard of or seen before, and it was simply astonishing!
What's more, the person who did this was a beautiful, quiet and gentle female doctor? !

"..."

At this moment, the situation has been completely stabilized, and everyone in the hall has finally recovered from the sudden change just now. Then, they all look at Yi Shuo in surprise and doubt like Gongsun Jingsheng.

Indeed, there were many breathtaking scenes just now.

But what impressed them most was the fountain of human blood spurted out by the last three assassins.

Even on a battlefield where blood and flesh were flying everywhere, such a gorgeous and bloody scene was extremely rare.

Just as Gongsun Jingsheng had previously cut off one of Jia Xun's arms, blood splattered everywhere and flowed all over the ground in an instant, but it only lasted for a moment. How could it be so uniform and lasting like the three assassins?

the most important is.

This is not an art, it is a killing skill that kills with one blow!

"Gulu!"

Guo Xuanzi's small, heart-pounding pupils trembled even more violently.

She looked at Liu Ju, Yi Shuo, Gongsun Jingsheng, and the people guarding Liu Ju... She felt a deep powerlessness and an indescribable sense of fear lingering in her heart. Even Liu Che had never made her feel this way.

At this moment, she hoped that she had really inherited the art of physiognomy from her grandmother Xu Fu.

In this way, she should be able to see clearly what kind of person Prince Liu Ju is, and also figure out what kind of monsters are hiding around Liu Ju.

If she could see these clearly, perhaps she wouldn't have come to this point today.

"Uh……"

Hejian County Magistrate Wei Chen was lying on the ground, feeling a burning pain from the knife wound on his shoulder.

He was very glad that those assassins did not have the art of Yi Shuo or the bravery of Gongsun Jingsheng, otherwise he would have been dead by now.

At the same time, he felt at ease.

This blow was a good one and worth it.

Now the prince is unharmed. If his injury can be cured, there should be a chance to save his life. If it cannot be cured... he should be able to save his family.

After all, something like this happened. Even if the prince was safe and sound, he, as the county magistrate, would certainly be to blame.

You have to choose either the assassin's knife or the emperor's knife.
