Zhao Qingbei truly admired these assassins; not only did they dare to take on any job, but the problem was that they didn't even know the market rates.

This serious crime, which could exterminate nine generations of a family, happened to only cost the perpetrator 1,000 taels of silver.

Stupid, isn't it?

It's no wonder that an assassin organization that doesn't have its own intelligence network and knows nothing can't make a name for itself in the underworld.

They're not even that bright, why bother building an organization? They might as well just go work for someone else; that's safe and secure.

As long as you don't sell yourself, you can leave at any time.

Working is the most secure way of life.

If they're capable of killing people, wouldn't it be better to find a wealthy family to be their instructor?

Even the slowest assassins noticed something amiss from the expressions on the Zhao brothers' faces.

The leader, enduring the sharp pain in his leg, asked in a trembling voice, "Do you recognize the person in the painting?"

Zhao Qingbei nodded, "Of course I know you. I've seen bold people, but I've never seen anyone as bold as you."

"Does the person who hired you have a grudge against you? They're really good at using someone else to do their dirty work."

Just as Zhao Qingbei was about to continue speaking, the person who had been sent back to the city to report to the authorities arrived with the military officers.

Following closely behind was another carriage that looked ordinary, but whose timber was clearly very valuable.

The officers from the Military Command arrived, wearing heavy shackles.

The original plan was to also put iron chains on the assassin's feet.

Just by looking at their legs, one could see that they were either bent abnormally, or cut off, or cut off but not completely severed, with only the tendons and veins severed.

This saves the trouble of wearing shackles.

They immediately locked her hands again. As for whether she could walk, the only option was to carry her away.

The people from the Military Command were either kidnapping people or getting information from Zhao Minggeng's family, taking notes on the whole story.

For the time being, no one paid attention to the bound assassins. With their legs broken, where could they possibly run to?

The fact that the officers of the Military Command ignored them doesn't mean that these assassins didn't look for advantageous terrain to escape.

Even if it means falling off a cliff, it's better than being captured by the soldiers.

While surveying the terrain, the assassins spotted a group of people walking down the official road.

It wasn't until they got closer that they realized the kidnapping target had arrived, and they were already prisoners—how ironic!

But there's more horror waiting for them.

The group of people approached, and everyone, including the officers from the military headquarters, knelt down upon seeing the woman, saying, "Greetings, Princess."

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

No wonder they say the person who hired them had a grudge against him, ordering them to murder the reigning princess. What a joke.

Even if the imperial court and the martial arts world are not involved,

However, if someone in the martial arts world breaks the rules and offends someone in the imperial court, the imperial court can issue a kill order against them.

Once the kill order is issued, it's a fight to the death.

If the princess were truly kidnapped, and the imperial court were to become enraged, regardless of the martial arts world, the court would certainly take action to purge the martial arts community.

At that time, those who have offended the interests of the imperial court will likely be hunted down by various sects even if they live in the martial arts world.

At that time, they would have to bear the infamy for all eternity.

Besides, no one is born from a crack in a rock.

Once they are investigated, even long-lost relatives will likely be implicated.

That would be a huge sin. Even if the King of Hell showed mercy, they would probably be fried in oil a thousand times over when they arrived at the King of Hell's palace.
