So, in this critical moment, I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I deliberately shot an arrow that struck the token at your waist. Fortunately, my archery skills haven't deteriorated, and I managed to hit the token.
The sturdy token blocked the arrow, although it pierced the token itself. Fortunately, it didn't cause you much damage, saving your life.
Perhaps this is the most perfect solution? If the two of us take you away, everyone in the world will think you're dead. After all, so many people are watching…”
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a while before he realized that the assassin from Chechi Kingdom had a change of heart in the end and couldn't bear to kill him, so he created a false impression in public.
Everyone thought he had killed him, but in the end he took him away and saved him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen was also somewhat moved, and said to the assassin from Chechi Kingdom:
"You're not exactly bad people either. Some things, as you said, were indeed forced upon you. By the way, where is my Crown Princess? And my guards, and your other assassins?"
Upon hearing this, the burly man from Chechi Kingdom remained silent for a moment before finally speaking with a sigh:
“We are suicide squads, we are destined to die at any time. In order to make the plan succeed and to ensure the safety of our families, we deserve to die this time.”
So I killed you, to make your men think you were really dead. At that time, they launched a fierce attack on us, and countless of our assassins were killed or wounded.
Your Crown Prince's wife is too formidable. We couldn't let anyone know you weren't dead, so some of our assassins held her off with all their might. That's what gave us two chances to bring you out.
Now, apart from the two of us and yourself, probably everyone in the world would think you're dead.
Zhu Yunwen was stunned, but after a long while, he could only give a bitter smile.
He knew that perhaps this method was indeed the best outcome.
Because he also knew that these assassins would definitely not survive.
However, these assassins couldn't bear to kill Zhu Yunwen, so they were willing to be misunderstood and killed, and risked it all to make Zhu Yunwen fake his death once.
In this way, their families would be spared from being killed because they completed their mission.
But in reality, Zhu Yunwen did not die.
To be fair, this assassin leader does have some brains.
Zhu Yunwen admired Zhu Yunwen's ability to make a decision immediately under those circumstances, devise a countermeasure, and quickly reach a consensus with the other assassins.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen said:
"It's just a pity that your assassins shouldn't have made such a pointless sacrifice. Actually, there might have been a better solution back then..."
For example, we can sit down together, have some tea, and then plan together how I can act out a scene where I'm already dead.
Perhaps it might even fool the king and prince of your Chechi Kingdom.”
The leader of the assassins from Chechi Kingdom gave a bitter smile and said:
"Sometimes, you have to make the act real. Otherwise, no one will believe you."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, and remained silent for a moment before saying:
“I respect you as men. If your family members hadn’t been threatened, you wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Don't worry, after this is over, I will send people to Chechi Kingdom to find a way to rescue all your family members.
"So that you can rest easy and those innocent killers who died can die in peace..."
