Your Highness, Please Love Me Tender

105. A Sudden Change

Translator: Flying Lines

The two words, ‘Sharp Sword’, more or less affected the bearings of the remaining assassins. After all, the Sharp Sword was Prince Qin’s best and most secretive man of sacrifice. When they heard these two words, the shadows, who were still alive, all subconsciously looked at Su Jie–

So the Sharp Sword, who had always been crowned as the best assassin, was a handsome young man?

Every move of a master made could result in death. The shadows’ actions had cost them a lot. Xiao Shengnian also offed an assassin, and Zhui Xing used the opportunity to heavily injure another. At this point, the assassins were in a disadvantageous position. It was only a matter of time before they were all wiped out.

If they couldn’t complete the mission, what would the men of sacrifice choose to do?

The men’s choice was ‘an eye for an eye’. Even if they were to die, they would also injure the opposite party.

They became more ruthless. If in the beginning, they harbored a thought of leaving here alive, then that hope had now withered away. The men of sacrifice completely let go of reservations, uncaring of their lives.

Especially after they knew that their assassination target was the Sharp Sword, the men who aimed for Zhui Xing decided to overlook everyone else except for the Sharp Sword. Even if all twelve of them died here today, as long as the Sharp Sword died, then their sacrifice would be worth it!

The Sharp Sword! They must kill the Sharp Sword!

Quite a few of the assassins’ revealed a crazy glint in their eyes. In their eyes, as a man of sacrifice, it would be the highest honor if they could kill the Sharp Sword, who was the strongest.

Even though the Guqin Master could hurt any men of sacrifice he wanted, the Sharp Sword… was different.

When he saw all these men of sacrifice rush towards Su Jie, Xiao Shengnian was unnaturally unhappy. Despite not having killed a lot of people, his martial arts were quite good. Also, he was the nearest to Su Jie, so he shared Su Jie’s burden to lessen the pressure on Su Jie.

At this time, the doors of the mansion were pushed open, and noisy footsteps sounded. Ten or so young men, all wearing different colored robes, rushed in. When they saw Zhou Zaiyue, they paused and heard Zhou Zaiyue say, “What are you waiting for? Go save them!”

Hearing this, a few men who were good at lightness skill, rushed towards the blue-robed assassins. Between them, some were holding… a rolling pin?

Yu Jiang was stupefied. There were all kinds of people in the group who entered the mansion for no apparent reason. There were pot-bellied men wearing greasy aprons and men in elegant clothing holding fans. There were also people dressed in ordinary civilians’ clothing. Some were even holding candy in their hands…

Who were these people?

Yu Che, who was gasping for breath, was stunned. He even saw someone holding a teacup.

The person holding the teacup finished his tea in one gulp. Then, he immediately rushed forwards and smashed the cup onto the head of a blue-robed assassin.

It was a mess. The men of sacrifice would never have thought that their advantage in numbers would disappear so quickly. In the blink of an eye, a group of people all wearing different robes joined the fight. Also, despite how strange the weapons in their hands were, they still used them to whack the men of sacrifice.

Su Jie was also frightened by this sudden situation. Originally, he was killing to his heart’s content. After entering this mental state, Su Jie was dealing with the assassins with ease though still unable to kill them all in a while. Yet, the situation changed rapidly when these people joined. Although these people’s moves were messy and had terrible teamwork, their lethality shouldn’t be underestimated.

It seemed like only a while had passed when all the men of sacrifice were lying on the floor, devoid of life.

Zhou Zaiyue rushed to Su Jie’s side immediately to inspect the wound on Su Jie’s right arm. Because Su Jie kept moving around, the wound never stopped oozing blood. Small, dark-colored blood clots came out with the blood. Zhou Zaiyue inspected the wound for a bit and applied an unknown ointment to it. Then, he bandaged it up simply.

When all the blue-robed assassins fell to the ground, those young men who appeared out of nowhere left without even saying hello.

“Who… are they?” Su Jie asked as he stared at their retreating backs.

Zhou Zaiyue answered without lifting his head as he continued to bandage Su Jie’s wound. “They are the helpers I found at the last minute. Even though there aren’t a lot of them, they are still somewhat good at fighting.”

Su Jie’s expression was a little strange. He answered, “Hm… They are indeed good at fighting.”

“How else could I stay by your side? Perhaps I can’t protect you personally, but I can still call upon some helpers.” Zhou Zaiyue’s tone was very gentle. He was angry because Su Jie got hurt. State Yanling’s precious crown prince was hurt time and time again in State Yanhui! This, Zhou Zaiyue could not bear. He must leave State Yanhui with the crown prince immediately!

They would leave tonight!
