How can one be undefeated?
"You also saw those people Murong Xiao personally selected just now. If they are tortured, will they betray the master?"
The black man thought for a moment and said firmly, "No, we will serve the Lord till death."
"That's good. Tomorrow I will tell Qian Yeming that it was Qian Yeyao who assassinated the crown prince. But..." Zhu Sui glanced at the man in black on the ground: "You just..."
The man in black bowed his head and said, "We swear allegiance to our Lord until death. We only ask that the Lord treat our families well."
"Don't worry, the Lord is merciful and will definitely treat your family well. People from the capital will be arriving in a few days, so you should rest well these few days, eat when you need to, sleep when you need to, and no one will come to disturb you."
"Thank you, Master Zhu."
Zhu Sui sighed and walked out of the dungeon, followed by Pang Mo.
"My lord, it seems that King Li does not completely trust you."
Zhu Sui sighed and said helplessly, "Yes! He only sent someone to tell us that he had asked Anye to assassinate Qian Yeming, but he didn't tell us that he had sent someone else besides Anye."
"Do you think he already knows our details?"
"Our dealings with Lord Ye are secret, so he probably doesn't know. King Li himself is not someone who trusts others easily, so it's normal for him to be wary of us."
Pang Mo sighed.
"Now I just hope that the people on the prince's side can stand the test, otherwise you and I..."
"Don't worry, the people the Lord sent this time are all die-hards, and their families are also under strict control. Even if they don't do it for themselves, they will do it for their families!"
"Sir, how come this prince is so lucky? He survived two assassination attempts and three waves of assassins, and yet he wasn't even hurt."
"Humph!" Zhu Sui sneered, "Do you think Qian Yeming is really a hopeless case? If it weren't for his poor health, his position as Crown Prince would probably be secure.
Aside from the powerful forces behind him, let's just talk about him. He looks like a sickly person who might die at any moment, but hasn't he been doing well all these years? Although his health has been deteriorating due to a cold in his body, look at all the assassination attempts he's made in the past few years, and he hasn't been in trouble in any of them.
Pang Mo was surprised and said, "Sir, you mean... the prince is also a master?"
"He's certainly not a physical expert, but he certainly knows some basic martial arts. And look at the guards around him, which one of them isn't first-rate? Not to mention Murong Xiao is beside him now. I've heard she's quite skilled!"
"Alas... Now I only ask that you and I not be dragged into this. My Lord, do you think the Emperor will punish us for our inadequate protection?"
"Of course not! Do you think the Emperor really wants this prince to live? If he did, how could these princes dare to be so arrogant?"
After a peaceful day, on the second night, another assassination attempt took place in the prince's bedroom in the prefectural mansion.
This assassination was different from the previous ones. If Qian Yeming could remain expressionless and feel nothing when facing those assassinations, then this assassination was definitely enough to make him extremely depressed.
Because the assassins who killed people with their swords were not hired by Qian Yeyao and Qian Yechen brothers, but the top-notch Jinyiwei.
