The assassin was unaware.
The palace guards had already secretly followed him.
If anything were to happen to the little princess.
The secret guards will take immediate action!
The assassin followed Zhao Jieyu's instructions.
He took Ye Qianqian to the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city.
Many beggars lived in this dilapidated temple.
After the assassin led Ye Qianqian inside.
The beggars quickly noticed Ye Qianqian.
The leader of the beggars walked over.
"You don't look like a beggar. This baby girl must have a very special background."
The assassin frowned.
“This is my daughter.”
“This baby girl doesn’t resemble you at all. Although this place is a beggar’s den, we live by begging.”
"But it also doesn't allow human traffickers to come in."
Other beggars also gathered around.
It seemed they intended to drive the assassin away.
The assassin said immediately.
"I'm only staying here for a few days after someone asked me to."
The beggar elder said.
"First, explain the origin of this baby girl."
"If this baby girl was abducted and sold here by you, we will take you to the gate of Dali Temple tonight!"
[Oh my! Although he's a beggar, this elder looks quite righteous and dignified!]
[Wow, so vigilant! Wait! What did I just see?!]
[In less than fifteen minutes, a heavy snowfall will begin. This dilapidated temple has been in disrepair for years, and the snow will collapse it within an hour! Then, all these people, including myself, will be crushed to death inside!]
No, we have to get out of here right now!
Ye Qianqian quickly burst into tears.
The assassin panicked.
When I kidnapped you just now, you didn't cry, you were even smiling at me.
Now you're starting to cry.
Never mind.
You should hide somewhere else.
The assassin had no choice but to take Ye Qianqian and prepare to leave.
However, Ye Qianqian reached out and grabbed the elder's sleeve.
The elder was taken aback.
I just pulled my sleeves out.
Ye Qianqian caught it again!
Because you were willing to save me just now, I'll save your life too!
The elder thought Ye Qianqian was asking him for help.
He gave a wink to someone nearby.
The beggars immediately surrounded and killed the assassin.
They gave him absolutely no way out.
The assassin said helplessly to the elder.
"You're just a beggar, all you need to do is have enough to eat!"
"Why are you meddling in other people's business?! Or are you just too full?!"
The elder said earnestly.
"Put down this baby girl and you can leave."
The assassin panicked upon hearing this.
My little princess is my lucky charm!
I must keep a close eye on the little princess's movements so that Consort Zhao in the palace knows where she is hiding, and then lead people to rescue her and gain merit!
If I lose my little princess, I'll lose my life too!
The assassin immediately drew his knife!
"Since you won't move aside, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Swords and blades are merciless, so don't blame me for splattering blood here!"
The elder sneered.
Suddenly, the other beggars pulled out knives from under their straw mats and pointed them at the killer.
The assassin immediately chickened out.
Wow!
This is no ordinary beggar!
This is definitely a gang!
Who knows, some powerful person might be disguised as a beggar and planning something big!
We can't afford to mess with them!
But since he's a man who does great things, why is he meddling in the little princess's affairs?
The assassin just felt a headache coming on!
As expected, this mission was a real hot potato.
It's something you can't accept now, and you can't throw it away either!
Even if you outnumber me, I am not afraid!
"In short, if I live today, this little—baby girl—will live!"
"If I die, she must die too!"
[What the hell! If you want to die, die on your own! Who wants to die on the same day, month, and year as you?! What kind of class do you think you are, daring to be killed on the same day as this princess?!]
[Having met such tragic ends in my previous eight lives, I, this princess, will absolutely not suffer a miserable end in this final chance of rebirth!]
[Seriously, the current standoff isn't the point! The point is, it's about to snow! This place is going to collapse in an hour!]
The most important thing is to get out of here and save your life!
We're all just strangers struggling to survive in this dilapidated temple. Let's hold hands and make up!
No one here can read the little princess's heart.
These are the words of the little princess.
I can only listen to it myself.
The elder sneered.
"Do you really think you can handle all of us?"
"He's just Wang Tiezhu, ranked 999th on the assassin's list!"
"Although I don't know who assigned you the assassination mission, the person who would pay you to do it is probably not a high-class individual!"
Zhao Jieyu: I feel offended!
Wang Tiezhu was taken aback.
"You actually know me!"
Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but sigh inwardly!
Those who make it onto the assassin's list are all people whose names are known throughout the martial arts world!
However, only the top 1,000 people are eligible to have their names written down.
Those ranked after one thousand are all replaced with Zhang San, Li Si, or so-and-so!
Originally, Wang Tiezhu had been working as an assassin for ten years.
He has always been an unknown figure, ranked outside the top 1,000!
It was a real struggle to get onto this list this year!
Moreover, it was because the 1001st person had diarrhea while on a mission.
