"Save them." Xiao Yi answered briefly. From Xuan Li's description, he had already guessed that the one who made the move must be the Crown Prince's man.
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, the group headed towards the place where the fight was taking place, with Xuan Li naturally leading the way.
When Nan Wusi and his group arrived at the scene of the battle, they found that the Third Prince was leading a group of people to resist the attack of the men in black, and Wu Qingzi and her brother were among them.
Wu Qingzi was the first to spot Nan Wusi and his group, and shouted, "Wusi, come and help us!"
Wu Qingzi's roar immediately drew the attention of all the men in black to Nan Wusi and his group, making her scalp tingle.
Wu Qingzi was really reckless, shouting and yelling like that, which directly caused Nan Wusi and the others to lose the opportunity to make the first move.
"Second Brother, Prince Yi, and Seventh Prince, you all stay here. Xuanli and I will go." Nan Wusi said to everyone. She was unwilling to risk the lives of those she cherished in order to save the Third Prince.
"Little sister, be careful." Nan Wuyu nodded.
"Be careful." Xiao Yi only said two words, but his tone was full of concern.
"Miss Nan, please be careful," Xiao Hengye said.
Nan Wusi nodded to the crowd again, then called Xuan Li and rushed forward.
Since returning from the disaster relief mission, Nan Wusi has changed the material of his soft whip.
Her weapon is now a long, thin iron chain with barbs, greatly increasing its lethality. However, it's no longer suitable to carry around, so Nan Wusi usually doesn't take the chain out. It just so happens that this hunt has given it a purpose.
Nan Wusi wielded the iron chain with formidable power. After suffering several losses, the men in black realized the chain's strength and began to attack more cautiously.
After the leader of the group of men in black was wounded, he ordered a retreat and disappeared into the jungle.
After the assassins had all retreated, Nan Wusi slowly began to tighten the chains, which terrified the spoiled young men standing by.
The barbs on the iron chain still had flesh and blood clinging to them, and some people with poor mental fortitude were already feeling nauseous.
The Third Prince was also shocked, but he always knew how to hide his emotions. So when he saw Nan Wusi's actions, he not only did not avoid her, but stepped forward and bowed to her, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Miss Nan."
"Third Prince, there's no need to be so polite. I was just doing it on a whim." Nan Wusi raised his eyelids and looked at Xiao Jing. "But how does the Third Prince intend to thank me?"
Xiao Jing was speechless for a moment. He hadn't expected Nan Wusi to actually ask for a reward. However, after seeing Nan Wusi's gaze lingering on their prey, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Qingyuan, give some of our prey to Miss Nan."
"Yes." Wu Qingyuan didn't waste any words and handed all the prey in his hands to Nan Wusi.
Nan Wusi then gestured for Xuan Li to take it, and Xuan Li naturally complied.
At this moment, Xiao Yi and the Seventh Prince also came over.
"Royal Uncle, Seventh Prince." The Third Prince greeted Xiao Yi and Xiao Heng.
"Hmm." Xiao Yi simply nodded as a greeting, while Xiao Heng obediently called out, "Third Imperial Brother."
"Seventh Prince, you've found some excellent helpers today," the Third Prince said to Xiao Heng with a meaningful look.
"Third brother, you jest. I don't have the ability to find a helper like Miss Nan. I only asked Miss Nan to take me in," Xiao Heng said with a shameful smile, making no attempt to hide his lack of ability.
"It's quite an achievement that you managed to get Miss Nan to take you in; at least your life won't be in danger," the Third Prince Xiao Jing said meaningfully.
"Does Third Brother know who sent them?" Xiao Heng asked, following Xiao Jing's words.
"You don't need to know that." Xiao Jing shook his head. He knew it was most likely an assassin sent by Xiao Mu, and he wouldn't let this matter go so easily.
"What are your plans next, Third Brother?" Xiao Heng asked.
“Naturally, we will continue to venture deeper, after all, I am determined to win first place,” Xiao Jing said.
"Then I, your younger brother, wish my third brother all his wishes come true." Xiao Heng smiled.
The two teams then parted ways, heading deeper into the distance in different directions.
"Xiao Yi, do you think this assassin was sent by the Crown Prince?" Nan Wusi asked in his mind.
"It's pretty close," Xiao Yi replied.
"He's incredibly audacious, daring to assassinate someone openly in the hunting grounds." Nan Wusi still found it hard to believe. The emperor was still here; if something really happened, how could Xiao Mu guarantee he could clear his name during the investigation?
“He probably didn’t think he could succeed in the assassination either,” Xiao Yi said.
"If the assassination fails, what's the point of planning it?" Nanwu thought, puzzled.
"He's definitely aiming for success, but even if he fails, the Third Prince won't expose him because there's no evidence. So, it's worth it to cause some trouble for the Third Prince and lose first place," Xiao Yi analyzed.
However, what he didn't say was that he had also prepared men. If Xiao Mu and Xiao Jing didn't kill each other, he would act as a mediator, instigate a conflict between the two sides, and then frame them.
However, Xiao Yi did not intend to tell Nan Wusi all of this; he hoped that she could continue to simply enjoy life.
They continued deeper into the territory, reaping a considerable amount of prey along the way. Of course, most of it belonged to Nan Wusi, while Nan Wuyu and Xiao Heng had only contributed a small amount of effort.
However, based on Nan Wusi's observation, Xiao Heng's hunting movements were always very clean and efficient, and his hit rate was also very high. Nan Wusi suspected that he was deliberately hiding his true abilities.
So on several occasions, Nan Wusi deliberately missed a few prey, just to see Xiao Heng's reaction. Sure enough, he quickly caught those prey.
Now Nan Wusi could confirm that Xiao Heng was also very skilled, but he had been hiding his abilities.
At Nan Wusi's prompting, Nan Wuyu also began to secretly observe Xiao Heng, and came to the same conclusion as his younger sister.
Although Nan Wuyu himself was not very strong, he was born into a family of martial arts practitioners and had some insight. He remembered his younger sister saying that Xiao Heng might be hiding his true abilities, and it turned out to be true.
As Nan Wusi and the others continued forward, they heard loud fighting sounds and cries for help ahead. They exchanged glances and headed in that direction.
Nan Wusi and his group cautiously approached the center of the fight. This time, they were careful to conceal their figures so as not to be seen from a distance as before and lose their advantageous opportunities.
However, Nan Wusi regretted it as soon as she walked over and saw the fighting scene. Could someone tell her why there was this weird thing in the hunting ground?
