The Crown Prince of Yanping was somewhat unwilling.
Lu Cheng shook his head at him.
The Crown Prince of Yanping said nothing more.
If we had known better, we should have let them go. Why did we stop them for so long?
Xie Jingyan looked at the Xiliang assassins, "I, Prince Ling, always keep my word. Once you're outside the city gates, release Prince Cheng, and no one will pursue you. You can return to Xiliang unharmed. If you dare not release him..."
The Western Liang assassin laughed, "King Cheng is in my hands, what can you do to us?"
Xie Jingyan smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can try."
The Western Liang assassin looked at Xie Jingyan and saw that he was not at all concerned about the life or death of the Prince of Cheng, so he knew that the Prince of Cheng's life was not a threat to him.
Without further ado, the Western Liang assassin mounted his horse.
The Crown Prince of Yanping waved his hand, and the city patrol officers who were blocking the path of the Xiliang assassins made way for them. The Xiliang assassins led the Prince of Cheng straight out of the city.
The Western Liang assassins were extremely fast. Xie Jingyan mounted his horse and gave chase.
Prince Yanping and Tang Ze also mounted their horses and followed Xie Jingyan.
They still didn't believe Xie Jingyan would let the Xiliang assassins leave.
It was also due to their incompetence that the assassins escaped into Prince Cheng's residence, giving Prince Cheng the opportunity to help the Xiliang assassins get away.
After leaving the city, the Western Liang assassins did not release King Cheng, so Xie Jingyan and the heir of the Prince of Yanping pursued them relentlessly, and the heir of the Duke of Maoguo was also there.
After running all the way, the Western Liang assassin led King Cheng to abandon his official post and onto a small path.
Xie Jingyan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the path.
He reached out to Du Cheng'an, "Give me the bow and arrows."
Without much thought, Du Cheng'an tossed the bow and arrows to Xie Jingyan.
Xie Jingyan caught the arrow and aimed it at the assassin.
Swoosh.
An arrow pierced the sky.
It shot straight at the assassin's heart.
Seeing this scene—
Du Cheng'an and the Prince of Yanping were all dumbfounded.
King Cheng and the assassin rode together on one horse.
This arrow will kill the assassin, but it will also surely wound King Cheng.
Wasn't it said that if the assassin had actually injured King Cheng, they wouldn't be able to explain it to the Empress Dowager?
How did he hurt himself?
Du Cheng'an's bow and arrows were bestowed by the emperor and had an extremely long range.
Xie Jingyan's arrow pierced through the assassin and wounded King Cheng.
The moment the arrow struck, the horse lurched to the ground, throwing the assassin and King Cheng off.
Just a few steps away is a cliff.
The assassin carried King Cheng through two tumbles on the ground, and they were about to roll off the cliff.
Xie Jingyan grabbed Cheng Wang's hand, and the Xiliang assassin fell to the ground, the arrow piercing his heart and staining it with blood.
The Prince of Yanping and his companions were completely bewildered.
What exactly is Prince Ling doing?
With that arrow, King Cheng would surely die, but he held onto King Cheng to prevent him from falling off the cliff.
Is this to leave King Cheng with a complete corpse?
