"You have people in the Jinyiwei, right? Otherwise, how would you know they were going to assassinate me today?"
At this moment, Murong Xiao's voice was heard, neither loud nor soft, and it sounded particularly harsh amid the flashing swords and the collision of weapons.
The team, once a united force, once a perfect sword, froze for a moment after hearing Murong Xiao's words. The Prince's Palace guards immediately took advantage of this moment of silence and charged into the perfect sword, attempting to break up the formation.
After a brief moment of confusion, surprise, and daze, the Jinyiwei reacted, immediately and angrily regrouped their formation, and rushed towards Qian Yeming at a rapid speed.
These people were all top-tier masters, so their Qinggong skills were naturally no problem. When the first Jinyiwei took off, all the others behind him followed suit, protecting each other with their wings, leaving only the tip of their swords to stab Qian Yeming.
"Jinyiwei, why don't you take action now?" Murong Xiao shouted the order and quickly retreated with the prince, who looked a little frail, under the protection of the guards.
As soon as Murong Xiao finished speaking, the Jinyiwei who had already flown up to attack Qian Yeming froze again because of Murong Xiao's words.
At this point, they already believed Murong Xiao's words. From the very first sentence she said, they believed her. Because if there were no traitors among them, the guards at the prefectural governor's mansion today would definitely not be so powerful, and they would not protect Qian Yeming so tightly.
Because of Murong Xiao's words, the Jinyiwei slowed down again, and Murong Xiao also pulled Qian Yeming to stand farther away.
"Is everything settled now?" This time it was Qian Yeming who spoke.
From the moment he attacked the Imperial Guards, he had truly committed to his father, the Emperor. Once he did so, there was no turning back. This move also marked the official beginning of his bid for the throne. On this path, for his wife, for the child he hadn't been able to bring forth in his previous life, he could only win, not lose!
After hearing Qian Yeming's words, the Jinyiwei's expressions changed instantly. They had been busy for a long time, and the prince was only now saying he wanted to deal with them. Could it be that he was just joking with them?
Just when everyone was secretly feeling that something was wrong, the formation suddenly fell into chaos.
Suddenly, one of the Jinyiwei in the middle turned against the enemy and stabbed his sword into the body of his companion who was closest to him and was still protecting him.
His companion's eyes widened as he watched the sword at his heart being pulled out mercilessly. His body softened, and he could not believe that he would be killed by his companion without any resistance.
As he fell, he saw his companions falling one after another.
"He's a spy..." This was the only sentence the Jinyiwei uttered before his death, revealing his resentment and unwillingness.
It is one thing for everyone to know that there is a spy in the team, but it is another thing when the spy really exists and suddenly attacks one's own people.
The appearance of this spy caused the entire golden sword team that was attacking Qian Yeming to quickly disintegrate.
The target was certainly to be killed, but the spy was even more detestable. Almost simultaneously, everyone separated from the spy at top speed, then split the team in two. The front half continued to assassinate the target, while the back half dealt with the spy.
