The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 135 - 70 Journey to Chongqing (2) Danger Arises_4

Chapter 135: Chapter 70 Journey to Chongqing (2) Danger Arises_4

Little Wu was rendered speechless by Ye Qichi’s words.

"Rest assured, your Prince is not so easy to kill," said Ye Qichi.

If the main character is dead, what’s the point of anything!

"Will the Princess desperately protect the Prince?" Little Wu asked with anticipation.

"Generally, a scourge lasts a thousand years," Ye Qichi answered.

"..." Xiao Jinxing’s face darkened to the color of soil.

Little Wu also... was at a complete loss for words.

He had no choice but to leave swiftly and go find Yuan Wenkang.

Although he couldn’t accept leaving the Prince, since it was something both the Prince and Princess agreed on, he would certainly obediently follow their orders.

Yuan Wenkang was brought into the room by Little Wu.

Kneeling on the ground, Yuan Wenkang paid his respects, "This subordinate pays his respects to the Prince, and to the Princess."

"Commander Yuan, rise."

"Thank you, Prince."

"Little Wu," signaled Xiao Jinxing with a look.

Little Wu understood the signal and immediately left the room, clearly to check if there was any eavesdropping outside.

"Commander Yuan, today I have called for you to discuss an urgent matter," said Xiao Jinxing.

"This subordinate will strictly follow the Prince’s orders."

"Tonight, you will secretly escort myself and the Princess away from the inn," he said.

Yuan Wenkang was somewhat amazed.

"Prepare three swift horses at the hour of Hai and wait one hundred li from the inn for myself and the Princess."

"Is the Prince..." Yuan Wenkang still couldn’t help but inquire.

"Just follow the instructions. Make sure not to tell anyone, and do not alert the enemy. This matter is only known by myself, the Princess, and you, I do not allow a fourth person to know," insisted the Prince.

"This subordinate obeys!" Yuan Wenkang naturally did not dare to ask further questions.

"If you understand, then go prepare."

"Yes."

"Also," Xiao Jinxing called to him as if remembering something.

"This subordinate is here."

"You cannot have dinner."

Yuan Wenkang looked at Xiao Jinxing in surprise.

"Just obey the order."

"This subordinate obeys."

Xiao Jinxing let Yuan Wenkang leave first.

Ye Qichi still felt somewhat impressed by Xiao Jinxing’s decisiveness.

Is he really not worried that she’s purposely harming him?!

Xiao Jinxing seemed to notice Ye Qichi’s gaze as well.

He returned the look.

He was obviously annoyed by Ye Qichi’s direct stare.

"Is there something else?!"

"Nothing." Ye Qichi shifted her gaze away.

She yawned and walked towards the bed in the room.

Watching her get into bed, Xiao Jinxing’s expression clearly changed.

"It will still be quite some time before we leave; I will rest to gather energy," and with that, she closed her eyes, leaning against the bed to sleep.

Xiao Jinxing scrutinized Ye Qichi.

This woman is so calm in the face of danger, one may describe as being unflappable in emergencies...

Who in the world is she?!

And after all, is she foe or ally!

Xiao Jinxing shifted his gaze away.

No matter if it’s friend or foe, a day will come when the truth emerges!

...

The hour of Hai.

The inn, on the contrary, became somewhat lively.

The moans heard outside indicated someone was enduring unbearable stomach pain, but the latrines were limited.

Outside the house.

Suddenly someone shouted loudly, "Assassins!"

This shout made the restlessness outside even worse.

"Everyone protect the Prince, protect the Prince!" The voices outside were loud.

It seemed absolutely chaotic.

At this moment, everyone was in a state of diarrhea and simply could not fight properly!

Inside the room.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi were sleeping on the bed, both remaining ever vigilant.

"Prince, Princess, be careful!" Little Wu suddenly bellowed.

In an instant, countless arrows shot into the room.

An arrow struck just above the bed where Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi laid, merely 2 centimeters away from Ye Qichi.

Damn it, they really aren’t taking any prisoners.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi immediately took cover behind the bed.

They were also somewhat furious; the assassins had made their move so quickly.

Even if the majority of the guards outside lacked the ability to fight, they were still numerous; it was implausible for them to be annihilated so quickly unless, some among them were already Prince Chu’s men, no, it wasn’t just some of them, it was a significant portion.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi held their breaths and kept calm.

As planned, Little Wu, with a person-shaped bundle of quilts on his back, charged out of the room.

Soon the sound of galloping horses grew distant until it disappeared.

After Little Wu broke out.

The assassins immediately pursued Little Wu.

Mistaking that the figure wrapped on Little Wu’s back was indeed Xiao Jinxing.

Little Wu successfully led them away, and Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi came out from behind the bed.

Without hesitation, Ye Qichi walked out of the room.

"Take this," Xiao Jinxing suddenly passed a dagger secretly to her.

Ye Qichi was surprised.

When did he acquire such a weapon for self-defense?

Of course, Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t explain either.

After giving the dagger to Ye Qichi, he quickly moved to exit the room.

Ye Qichi hesitated for half a second, then followed suit.

Outside the room, bodies lay everywhere.

The dead were presumably those who truly wanted to protect him.

Of course, Xiao Jinxing did not have any sense of compassion in his heart.

In the times of ancient imperial rule, lives were as cheap as weeds, dead meant dead.

The two cautiously left the inn.

At that moment, with the dead and injured, they easily avoided the sight of others and departed.

Finally, they emerged from the inn’s main gate.

"Be careful!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly pulled Ye Qichi into his embrace.

Ye Qichi was startled.

Just in that moment, she saw a man stab directly at her with a sword!

How could it be... The assassins have circled back!

Given Little Wu’s skills, it was impossible for him to be subdued so quickly!

And even if subdued, they wouldn’t return with just one person.

As expected.

Xiao Jinsen is truly shrewd; if he weren’t so arrogantly self-assured, he likely wouldn’t be much less cunning than Xiao Jinxing, which is no surprise, as the Emperor holds such high expectations for him!

To the extent of taking a risk to depose the Crown Prince for his sake!
