Li Ru, on the other side, also rushed over and punched one of the assassins on the head.

Although Li Ru knew some martial arts, he was no match for the assassin and was easily evaded.

Then the man flipped his long knife and slammed it hard into Li Ru's chest. Li Ru felt a sharp pain in his chest and staggered back two steps before falling to the ground.

"Ugh, you two bastards..."

After shouting, the constable struggled to his feet despite the pain, gripped his long knife tightly, and charged towards the assassin.

"Hmph~ You're courting death!"

The assassin leader snorted coldly and brought his long sword down again, striking the constable in the shoulder.

The constable felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and with a ferocious expression, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed the blade.

"Go to hell..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the constable swung his long sword at the neck of the assassin leader, but another assassin rushed forward and knocked the sword out of his hand.

With a "thud!" sound, another assassin's long knife pierced the constable's abdomen.

"Ah~....."

Seeing that he had succeeded, the other assassin was about to draw his long knife when the constable suddenly reached out and grabbed it with his right hand.

"Magistrate Li, run! Run!"

At that moment, the constable gripped both the long knives that had pierced his shoulder and the knife that had stabbed him in the abdomen, while blood continued to flow from his chest.

Just as Li Ru collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest and trying to get up, he heard the shouts and looked over to see the constable's lips and teeth already soaked in blood. The constable was staring at him, telling him to run for his life.

The scene before him made Li Ru's eyes widen in fury.

"You audacious assassin! Prepare to die!"

Just then, Li Hu rushed in with his men, followed by four other constables.

It turned out that Li Hu and his men had secretly sneaked into another room from the beginning. When the assassins rushed in, they were subdued by Li Hu and his men, so the other constables were not harmed.

In Li Hu's original plan, the guards should be able to hold out for a while. As long as they dealt with the other assassins first, there shouldn't be any accidents when they arrived.

In the end, he miscalculated. Seeing the miserable state of the yamen runners inside the room, Li Hu couldn't help but roar and rush forward.

Li Hu and the other constables followed closely behind, all of them attacking in anger, showing no mercy whatsoever.

At this moment, Li Ru also came to the side of the yamen runner. Looking at the yamen runner, who was pale and covered in wounds from protecting him, Li Ru couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

What are you trying to say?

Seeing the bailiff's lips moving, Li Ru assumed he had some last words, so he quickly put his ear close to the bailiff's mouth.

"Magistrate Li...I want to believe...you are...a...good...good official!"

After the constable finished speaking intermittently, he closed his eyes and remained motionless.

Li Ru remained frozen in that position, his lips slightly parted, unable to utter a single word, while a tear slid down his cheek.
