Hearing Mu Chan say this, the eldest prince stopped immediately.
"What's going on? Shouldn't we surround you this time? It's always me who gets hurt!"
Mu Chan almost rolled his eyes. Wasn’t it him who rushed forward to act as a shield last time?
But strangely enough, when the first attack occurred, the eldest prince rushed forward and was truly invulnerable and invincible.
Later it was discovered that the eldest prince was worried about getting hurt, so he put on a layer of black iron armor.
I don’t know if the assassins learned their lesson, and when they attacked the eldest prince, they specifically cut at the joints.
This time the archery was even more of a coincidence, as an arrow actually hit him directly in the knee.
Seeing a group of people surrounding them, the eldest prince didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked them to pay attention outside.
"Don't look at me anymore. Find a way quickly. We can't let them surround us and kill us here!"
There was no other way at the moment, Mu Chan could only propose temporary surrender.
After a while, the yellow smoke completely dissipated and people outside gathered around.
Seeing Mu Chan, the eldest prince and others throwing down their weapons and standing there like lambs to be slaughtered, the person behind the scenes finally stood up.
But this man was very careful and even covered his face with a mask, but it still couldn't hide his arrogance and complacency.
"Master Mu, you've been so impressive all the way here. You've been granted special permission by the Emperor to execute first and report later, accompanied by the Prince and protected by the Royal Guards. But what can you do? There are consequences for what you do!"
Mu Chan sneered and said, "It seems that the person behind you is quite powerful. Since he knows our identities, he still dares to send people to hunt us down like this."
"Master Mu, that's wrong," the other man said, his hands behind his back, very conceited. "Regardless of the size of the power, as long as I can guarantee that you die here, everything will be safe. This has nothing to do with power."
"That's not necessarily true." Mu Chan said as one hand secretly touched the lower back: "After all, people with less power don't have the courage to do it!"
Before he finished speaking, Mu Chan suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist, took a step forward and put it directly against the masked man's neck.
Seeing this, the others drew their swords and charged at him, but Mu Chan shouted, "Put down your swords, or I'll kill him!"
As soon as these words came out, the masked man, no matter how arrogant he was just now, now became as cowardly as he was. "Master Bie Mu, let's talk it out. Don't you just want to leave here? Don't kill me, we can talk it out!"
Seeing that he was intimidated, the eldest prince limped over and tore off his mask.
What a coincidence, this person is actually an acquaintance.
"It's you. Weren't you captured and imprisoned, awaiting execution? You're here anyway. Who let you out?"
Only then did Mu Chan notice that this man was the corrupt official they had defeated last time, and this corrupt official was extremely cruel and vicious.
They levied taxes indiscriminately in the local area, withheld disaster relief funds from the people, and even when distributing porridge, the porridge was so clear that there were not even a few grains of rice in it.
The people were suffering terribly, and those sick with the plague were almost committing suicide, yet this corrupt official actually took out delicacies from land and sea to treat the eldest prince and himself.
In a rage, the two men detained all the local officials, interrogated them one by one, and finally sentenced the official to death by beheading in the autumn.
However, they didn't expect that this person was released just after they left. It seems that the person behind this is not that simple.
Seeing his mask being taken off, the man panicked and was about to explain, but was instantly silenced by someone standing not far away.
The other party held a dart and stabbed it straight into his heart.
The corrupt official suddenly vomited black blood, his expression was distorted and he lay limply on the ground.
Mu Chan and the eldest prince both widened their eyes and looked straight at the person who threw the dart.
The other person was also wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen clearly, but his powerful aura and steady steps made it clear that this person must be of great importance.
"Kill, leave no one alive!" The man's voice was cold and without any nonsense, he gave the order to kill.
Mu Chan was shocked and hurriedly picked up the sword on the ground to block the eldest prince.
The guards also stood back to back, surrounding the eldest prince and Mu Chan.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, but soon, as the eldest prince's manpower gradually decreased, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The eldest prince was injured in one of his legs and accidentally fell to the ground, and was stepped on hard by someone.
"Ah, are you really going to step on my knees? You won't stop until I'm crippled!"
Damn plot!!
At the critical moment, a long arrow suddenly flew over and pierced the assassin's throat.
This scene made the eldest prince and Mu Chan stunned at the same time. When they turned around, they saw a group of people dressed as servants riding fast horses and galloping towards them.
They were rushing in their direction while shooting arrows, and these people had superb swordsmanship so there were almost no accidental injuries.
However, it was only the eldest prince who was so unlucky that he was injured by mistake, as he was almost never injured by mistake.
Moreover, after one person was shot to death, he fell straight down, and coincidentally, he fell on the eldest prince's leg.
The arrow, which was originally not inserted very deep, was pierced through by the impact.
"ah!!"
A deafening roar scared away a large number of birds in the forest. The poor eldest prince turned pale and fainted from the pain.
When Mu Chan saw this scene, he just hoped that the eldest prince would not come to trouble him after he woke up. After all, it was he who prevented the eldest prince from pulling out the arrow.
After the eldest prince fainted, this group of people finally rushed over. Mu Chan was a little wary at first, but when he saw that they had a token with "Fu" written on it hanging around their waists, he immediately understood that these must be people sent by the third prince.
"Are you Lord Mu? We are the guards for the merchants under Prince Fu's name. The prince ordered us to come and escort you."
Mu Chan breathed a sigh of relief. He was truly lucky to have survived a disaster.
Finally, these people took them to a merchant's house. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, although the eldest prince's injuries were serious, as long as he was carefully taken care of, he would be fine.
Mu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the eldest prince did not suffer any sequelae, otherwise he would have committed a serious crime.
In the palace, the emperor received the news that the eldest prince and Mu Chan were being hunted, and he immediately sent people to protect them, and also brought a large amount of medicine.
If the palace couldn't do without Doctor Wen, he would have wanted to kidnap the old doctor as well.
What he didn't know was that if he let Doctor Wen go now, it would be real trouble.
Because he was entangled by Qin Xuezhen.
