These special forces soldiers resumed what they hadn't finished before: some were grilling meat, some were eating meat, and some were resting with their eyes closed.
After the danger was over, Li Xiaochen pulled Lin Yuxin and Cheng Tinghao back to sit on the rock and continued eating roasted rabbit.
They didn't take the assassination attempt seriously at all, leaving Qiu Jingfan standing there dumbfounded, still not having recovered his senses.
What's wrong with him?
Lin Yuxin looked at Qiu Jingfan, who was still on guard duty, and asked, thinking that he had been acupunctured and could not move.
"Oh! You must have been a little upset, it's nothing! You'll be fine in a bit, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold!"
Li Xiaochen glanced at it briefly, then stopped looking and told Lin Yuxin to eat quickly.
"oh!"
Lin Yuxin looked away and continued eating the meat. One bite of rabbit meat followed by a bite of fruit she took out from her spatial storage was simply divine!
Qiu Jingfan was quite surprised when these special forces soldiers started lining up, and the subsequent battle left him dumbfounded.
Qiu Jingfan looked at the soldiers. He had witnessed their battle just now. They had taken down these assassins effortlessly, without harming themselves or killing the enemy.
Moreover, he had just clearly seen that the strategies, plans, and abilities displayed by this group were no less than those of a general. Any one of them could become a general!
Qiu Jingfan was speechless with shock.
When did the Xia Kingdom acquire such a team? Why? There hasn't been a single word about it.
When he left the capital, he thought these people were just ordinary soldiers. No matter how powerful they were, they were just members of the Zhao family army, sent by the emperor to protect Lin Yuxin and the others.
He also helped him out, because he brought very few people, only about a hundred. At first, Qiu Jingfan even thought that Li Xiaochen and the others were not sincere in their cooperation with him.
Now he understood that it was because they had the strength that they could fight ten people at once and kill enemies with their bare hands. They were simply a great weapon!
I really didn't expect them to give him such a surprise.
Thinking of this, Qiu Jingfan suddenly turned to look at Lin Yuxin. He hadn't misheard; Li Xiaochen had said that these people were trained by Lin Yuxin.
No wonder the soldiers treated Lin Yuxin with the same respect as Li Xiaochen, and sometimes even more so.
If these people were trained by Lin Yuxin, then everything makes sense.
Suppressing his surprise and doubt, Qiu Jingfan walked over and sat down next to Lin Yuxin. Unable to hold back, he asked:
"Princess Regent, who exactly are these people?"
Lin Yuxin heard Qiu Jingfan speaking to her, and amidst her busy schedule, she looked up and asked in confusion:
"Who? Who?"
"They're not ordinary soldiers, are they? And they don't look like Zhao's army! Who exactly are they?"
Qiu Jingfan asked in a deep voice. This time he couldn't help but ask directly, because with such a powerful person by his side, he wouldn't be able to sleep if he didn't find out the truth.
"Oh! Them? They're a new unit from Xia Kingdom, called the Xia Kingdom Special Forces. How about that? Impressive, right?"
Lin Yuxin took another bite of the rabbit meat in her hand, and said smugly as she chewed.
Lin Yuxin brought them out this time with no intention of letting them hide anything; the sword was about to be drawn!
"You... trained them?"
Upon hearing Lin Yuxin's words, Qiu Jingfan asked the question he most wanted to know.
"Really? What's wrong?"
Lin Yuxin nodded calmly, then gave him a strange look. What? Couldn't she train soldiers?
"No! I just think you're amazing! You're unlike any other woman I've ever met!"
Qiu Jingfan's words were a heartfelt compliment; Lin Yuxin had repeatedly refreshed his understanding of women along the way.
"Really? Well, thank you for the compliment!"
Lin Yuxin readily accepted the praise.
Seeing Lin Yuxin's proud expression, Qiu Jingfan's excited and tense heart relaxed, and he chuckled, teasing her:
"You woman, you get all cocky after I just complimented you a couple of times!"
Lin Yuxin glared at him with displeasure, then complained to Li Xiaochen:
"Ah Chen! He's bullying me!"
Li Xiaochen, the fiercely protective husband, immediately gave Qiu Jingfan a sharp look, leaving Qiu Jingfan speechless.
"Fine! If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?"
He finally understood that the couple were in cahoots, bullying him, a lone individual!
Because they've already captured a group of assassins, the rest shouldn't be coming so quickly, so they're not in a hurry to leave for now.
Another hour passed, and almost all of the twenty-odd assassins woke up.
The veils on their faces had been removed, but no one could recognize them, because their faces were now unrecognizable.
The Xia Kingdom's special forces were too ruthless, specifically targeting the face, sometimes making it impossible to distinguish the nose from the eyes.
After an hour of settling, it was swollen like a pig's head, and many of its noses were crooked. It might be disfigured!
Lin Yuxin, who had just finished eating and drinking, glanced over and saw the miserable state of the assassins. She shook her head with sympathy.
"I don't think I taught them to slap each other so hard, did I?"
Lin Yuxin glanced at Li Xiaochen with some uncertainty as she spoke, seemingly hoping to hear a word of approval from him.
Li Xiaochen pursed his lips and chuckled, whispering the most honest thing he had ever said in his life:
"Yes! Xin Xin didn't teach them this! They learned it on their own, so it's not your fault!"
Qiu Jingfan: ...?
The soldiers standing nearby behind: ...?
Your Highness, could you two please keep your voices down? They heard you!
"Kill us or torture us, it's all up to you. What's the point of binding us?"
After the assassin leader woke up, he looked around and found that almost all of his men were still alive and tied up. He immediately looked warily at the two soldiers guarding them closest to him and asked...
The two special forces soldiers guarding them were named Wang Bao and Little Potato, because they had been sent there after losing a game of rock-paper-scissors.
Otherwise, who would want to look at these twenty-odd pig heads? They'd rather have a few more sips of hot soup.
Little Potato glanced at the assassin indifferently, didn't move, and calmly said:
"Whether we kill you or not depends on the prince's decision. We're just here to keep an eye on you. Stop struggling; you can't escape anyway. Just stay put! Otherwise, you'll get beaten even worse!"
"you!"
The assassin leader was furious. He, the top assassin of Zhao, had been humiliated like this? Treated so poorly by a mere soldier? Truly, a tiger fallen into the plains was bullied by dogs!
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, ' what do you mean, ' not assassinating our princess,' you think you're so lucky?"
Wang Bao has a rather imposing name, but he's a chatterbox. Now that he's found a topic, he squats down and starts to berate the assassin leader.
