After finishing their meal, Prince Liebeck took the little boy into the carriage and prepared to return the way they came.
Inside the carriage, the little one rubbed his round belly and couldn't help but yawn, "A little sleepy."
People tend to feel sleepy after a full meal, so taking a nice nap at this time is naturally a great idea.
Prince Liebek glanced at him and said, "You can take a nap. I'll wake you when we get there."
Upon hearing this, the little guy didn't hesitate, closed his eyes, and fell asleep happily.
Prince Liebker looked quite worried. "I wonder how things are on the Lord's side?"
He knew that Ying Zheng had sent troops, and naturally he was somewhat worried.
Just then, the carriage came to a sudden stop, shaking the carriage violently. The little boy almost fell off his seat, but Prince Liebowke caught him in time.
Prince Liebker asked, puzzled, "What's going on?"
A voice rang out from outside, "Who are you? What do you want?"
The coachman looked panicked as he saw the people blocking his way.
He has been running this route for years. Even those who used to like to rob and plunder have been wiped out by the surrounding armies. Peace has been long-standing.
I never expected that such a situation would occur again today.
The leader blocking the road didn't answer. With a gesture, the man beside him raised his bow and shot an arrow, instantly piercing the coachman's throat, and he fell to the ground.
"kill!"
The leader's eyes were cold. At his command, several of his followers drew their bows and arrows and shot them into the carriage.
Sensing the impending danger, Prince Liebk reacted quickly, scooping up the little one and rolling him out of the carriage before fleeing rapidly to the rear.
But after walking only a few steps, they saw that the area behind them was also full of archers, their sharp arrows gleaming coldly in the light.
Upon seeing Prince Liebeck appear, all of them fired their bows and arrows.
The little guy was also taken aback when he saw the arrow flying towards him at high speed. "What's going on?"
He just ate a good meal, then had a nice sleep, and didn't do anything heinous, so why did someone want to kill him the moment he opened his eyes?
Prince Liebeck reacted quickly, rolling over with the little one in his arms to dodge the incoming arrow.
However, due to her own instability, the hand holding the little one slipped, causing the little one to fall to the ground.
The next moment, the pursuers arrived, and several arrows flew towards them. Prince Lieberke dodged to the side, but one arrow went straight for the little guy's face.
Prince Liebeck's lips twitched, and he quickly stepped forward to block the little guy, the arrow flying past and instantly piercing his arm.
Blood streamed down his arm, and Prince Liebherr frowned, knowing that this time the odds were against him.
He blocked the little guy's path, saying, "Their target is me. Find your chance to escape!"
As he spoke, he broke the arrow in half, gripped the blade in his hand, and prepared to fight to the death.
Although his martial arts skills were not particularly profound, as a prince, he had been practicing since childhood and had some skill.
Even if we can't win against so many people, we can at least buy some time.
Seeing his appearance, the little guy was quite surprised, "You're about to die, and you're still thinking about letting me escape."
The little guy could tell from the direction the arrows were coming that their target wasn't him, but Prince Liebherr beside him.
At this critical moment of life and death, Prince Liebk's idea of ​​preserving a sliver of hope for him was quite unexpected for the little guy.
Prince Liebk's eyes were resolute. "Having chosen to follow my lord, I should naturally protect the young master!"
Without further hesitation, he moved swiftly forward, instantly reaching an archer and thrusting his arrow down, piercing the archer's throat in a flash.
The little guy was quite surprised to see this, "He's quite loyal."
Seeing this, the leader no longer hesitated and stepped forward to fight Prince Lieberk.
She sidestepped Prince Liebeck's attack, then kicked him in the chest, the violent force sending him flying.
He was a trained martial artist, and his skills were naturally superb. With one kick, Prince Liebk immediately coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground in pain.
Without hesitation, the leader drew his dagger and lunged forward, appearing in front of Prince Lieberke in the blink of an eye, raising the dagger high towards Prince Lieberke's chest.
Just then, the little guy appeared in front of Prince Lieberke.
Seeing this, Prince Lieberke panicked, "What are you doing?! Get out of the way!"
The leader was ruthless; even he was no match for him. For the little guy, with his small frame, going up there would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
But in the next instant, the dagger in the lead suddenly stopped in mid-air, unable to advance even an inch.
It was a barrier that protected the little guy.
The leader gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, trying desperately to break through the barrier, but he couldn't advance an inch.
Upon seeing this, Prince Liebk was utterly shocked. "You actually know high-level magic?!"
Such a powerful barrier was undoubtedly an extremely powerful magic in his eyes.
Seeing that they could not break through, the leader retreated. Then, with a gesture, all the archers fired their arrows. The arrows flew from all directions towards the two, but they could not break through the barrier and were blocked outside.
The little guy glanced at them calmly, "You guys started it, so don't blame me!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and made a sweeping motion. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the void, as if a passage had been opened up through some kind of space.
The little guy yelled at the man, "Sixth Brother, someone's trying to kill me!"
The next instant, endless yin energy surged from the opening, whipping up a raging wind that made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
The leader stared at the man in shock, "What's going on?!"
He could feel an extraordinary, extremely powerful force emanating from that opening.
As soon as the words were spoken, a black-robed youth stepped out from the void rift.
The newcomer had a cold and sharp gaze, and his body was surrounded by a billowing aura of yin energy. His tattered black robe fluttered in the wind, making him look like a demon god descending.
Ying Liu stood in the void, his gaze cold and sharp as he stared down below. "Who?"
The little guy pointed to the people around him, "Them!"
Sensing the aura emanating from Ying Liu, the leader felt his heart tremble uncontrollably, as the oppressive force of death swept over his entire body.
Without hesitation, he shouted, "Run!"
After saying this, he turned and fled into the void.
But in the next instant, a sharp claw suddenly shot out from the void in front of him, instantly piercing through his entire body.
The remaining archers were also suddenly surrounded by sharp claws, which pierced through their bodies in an instant.
In just a moment, more than a dozen assassins were killed.
Seeing this, Prince Liebherr was utterly shocked. "What...what's going on?!"
Everything happened so suddenly and so contrary to his understanding that he was unable to calm down for a long time.
