Suddenly, a group of men in black jumped out from the second floors of the streets on both sides, holding sharp weapons in their hands, and stabbed at An Xin and Jiang Xuan who were sitting in the carriage.

This time Jiang Xuan did not pretend to be weak. He drew out the soft sword from his waist and blocked the weapon that was stabbing at An Xin.

An Xin already held a dagger that was shining with a cold light in his hand and raised his eyebrows, "You are not going to pretend anymore."

General Chen, who was guarding both sides, shouted, "There is an assassin. Protect the envoy."

This group of assassins were obvious and had a clear goal. They did not get entangled with the soldiers guarding the carriage, but all swarmed towards An Xin's carriage.

Leng Xiangbai and Jiang Zhou, who were behind, realized that the assassins were targeting their own chief, so they took out their weapons and came to help.

An Xin looked at the assassins who were rushing towards her carriage without caring about their lives. They were holding a crescent-shaped scimitar in their hands. Her eyes paused slightly...

She was originally puzzled. Although her appearance was average, it was not to the extent that people would hate her when they saw her.

The only person she has here is Xiao Wenrou, who wants to kill her and was just caught by Si Han when he attacked her in the palace.

In order to maintain her gentle and delicate character in the heart of the new king Si Han, Xiao Wenrou would not be so anxious to take action again even if she wanted her to die.

Now they saw the weapons in the hands of the assassins outside the carriage that were intercepted by General Chen and Jiang Xuan.

It was obviously made of the same style as the weapon used by the assassin in the woods outside Lindu City.

How could An Xin not understand? This group of assassins should have been carried out by the City Lord Liao or by the message he sent back, instructing the Liao family in the capital of Beiming.

The "clang, clang, clang" sound of weapons colliding seemed unusually crisp and intense in this dim street.

Kong Xun and Li Ziyu were worried about An Xin's mission to Beiming this time. They sent General Chen, who volunteered to lead the guards, and General Gao to lead the team to protect An Xin's safety.

This group of guards were selected from the group of elite royal soldiers who had gone to Lingnan with Kong Xun.

With this group of elite soldiers blocking the way outside, there is also General Chen, who is calm and capable, and General Gao, who is brave in battle. These two are veterans with real skills.

Even if the group of forty or fifty assassins attacked An Xin's carriage at the same time, they were stopped ten steps away by the airtight defense and could not advance an inch.

Apparently, this assassination made the people hiding in the dark very unhappy. In a private room on the second floor of a certain restaurant, a man in black striped clothing snorted coldly, "Trash."

He knew that if he continued like this, since there was no curfew today to celebrate the coronation of the new emperor, and to prevent any accidents, the extra patrol teams sent out by the Capital Defense Battalion would soon discover the fighting here.

At that time, not only will they fail to kill the female official from Daqian who caused so much harm to the two masters of their Liao family, but people may also find out that this matter is related to their Liao family.

After all, the female official from Daqian had just arrived in Beiming, and it was impossible for her to have any deep hatred with anyone. As long as people knew that she was intercepted by her own uncle and not allowed to pass the checkpoint when passing through Lindu City.

My uncle was also assassinated during that period and was seriously injured. If the new emperor is determined to investigate, he will definitely find the Liao family.

It is just as people think.

The people from the defense camp who were ordered to maintain the security of Beiming Kyoto tonight were told that they heard fighting when they passed by here, so they rushed here after hearing the news.

Just when a few of the assassins broke through the siege and attacked An Xin in the carriage again, they heard the guards shouting loudly: "Who dares to cause trouble and kill people tonight?"

Even when the assassins saw the people from the defense camp coming, the leading assassin was only slightly stunned, glanced towards the restaurant in the darkness, and did not stop killing.

It was not until a loud whistle was heard that the assassins retreated like a flood.

The people in the defense camp looked grimly at the bodies of more than a dozen men in black lying on the street.

They saw that these people were not killed by An Xin's guards, but by the assassins who, after hearing the whistle, took action themselves to kill those of their own people who were injured and unable to retreat in time.

More than a dozen people from An Xin's guard team were also injured.

The leader of the defense camp came to the outside of An Xin's carriage, bowed awkwardly and said, "Your Excellency, I am sorry to frighten you. It is getting late. How about we escort you back to the embassy to rest?"

An Xin frowned slightly. He disagreed with the defense battalion's approach of avoiding the main issue and trying to keep things quiet, but he didn't say anything.

When An Xin and his team returned to the embassy, ​​Kong Xun sent an imperial physician to follow them. An Xin went to see the injured guards and ordered the imperial physician to use the best medicine to treat them.

Now that I am in another country, it would be better for my injuries to heal as quickly as possible.

An Xin's attention to the guards also warmed the hearts of the guards.

But not all superiors are so concerned about the guards who are injured while protecting them.

The guards also know that their duty is to protect the people they are supposed to protect. Casualties are inevitable during the mission, but these guards are still very happy to have a superior who cares about them.

An Xin waited until the guard's injuries were treated by the imperial physician before she took Leng Xiangbai and the others away to rest.

General Gao watched An Xin walk out of the guards' quarters and muttered, "Didn't Lord Fuguo say before that we didn't bring much money with us this time and were very poor? We can't even afford three days of food, so how can we have money to buy these good herbs to treat the guards' injuries?"

General Chen chuckled at his old friend.

I ignored this idiot.

When Chief An Xiaoshan said that, he was just angry that the delegation was stopped there for three days, and he also wanted to cheat others out of their money and give benefits to his own people.

This stupid guy actually took this thing seriously.

Si Han, who had just returned to his own palace to rest, heard that An Xin and his companions were assassinated on their way back from the banquet. His face was gloomy, "Someone dared to assassinate the envoys I invited. That's great."

He ordered: "Investigate, investigate for me, and hand over all those found to the Ministry of Justice for punishment."

"promise."

In the Liao family mansion in the capital of Beiming, an old lady with a gloomy face slammed the teacup in her hand.

"You are useless. You can't even kill a foreign envoy. What use are you?"

The middle-aged man kneeling below trembled slightly, "Old Madam, please calm down."

It would have been fine if this person didn't say anything, but after he opened his mouth, the old lady became obviously even angrier.

He snorted heavily through his nose.

When he looked at the middle-aged man, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

After all, he was not his own illegitimate son. Even if he was asked to contact his family's usual assassin organization to kill a foreign female envoy, he would still fail to complete the task with great effort.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still obedient, why would I allow a bastard to live in this world, Old Madam Liao thought viciously.
