Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, all of his soldiers and guards turned red in the eyes.
Although they were really unwilling to accept it.
Then, Zhu Yunwen said to the burly man from Chechi Kingdom:
"Now you can rest assured and get started."
At this moment, the people of the Ming Dynasty who heard these words clearly understood what was going on.
One of the elderly men said in a trembling voice:
"This is the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty... The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty has returned! He actually chose to be killed by these villains in order to save us..."
Another middle-aged man also spoke up:
"How can this be? How can we let the Crown Prince's life be exchanged for ours?"
A young scholar suddenly realized:
"I understand now. These hateful fellows are trying to threaten His Highness the Crown Prince with our lives. How utterly despicable, how utterly despicable..."
The people all understood. Looking at Zhu Yunwen, who was resolutely moving forward step by step, even though he could be killed at any moment, they were both moved and admired him.
Immediately afterwards, an elderly man, his body trembling, stood up and said:
"Your Highness, you cannot die. You are the hope of our Great Ming Dynasty. You are the future of our Great Ming Dynasty, the support of millions of people, and indeed all the people of the Great Ming Dynasty."
How could you possibly sacrifice your life for the lives of us lowly commoners?
After the old man finished speaking, many other people also stood up.
There were men and women, old and young, and even children.
In the past year or two in the Ming Dynasty, no one was unaware of His Highness the Crown Prince, and everyone enjoyed the benefits and improved lives brought about by His Highness the Crown Prince.
Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince is their belief, their faith.
The death of the Crown Prince was something they absolutely could not bear.
Moreover, to die at their hands is something they absolutely cannot tolerate.
Therefore, they would rather die in place of Zhu Yunwen.
However, this scene once again shocked the assassins from Chechi Kingdom.
It wasn't just Zhu Yunwen's subordinates who were willing to die for him; they were dying willingly and with genuine emotion.
Even ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty are like this?
This completely shattered the cold hearts of these Chechi Kingdom assassins.
How could they not yearn for such a ruler?
What a pity...
Even the burly man from Chechi Kingdom shed a tear. Not only him, but all the hundreds of assassins behind him showed complicated expressions.
Then the burly man spoke:
"What a pity, what a real pity. In this life, we always end up doing things we don't want to do, but today I want to try breaking that rule..."
After saying that, the big man decisively released the bowstring.
The next moment, an arrow shot towards Zhu Yunwen with a whoosh.
Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes...
At the same time, he sensed a figure trying to shield him.
He knew that it was Zhao Qingzhu.
He wouldn't allow Zhao Qingzhu to do such a foolish thing, so he was prepared. The moment that body appeared in front of him, Zhu Yuntong suddenly pushed Zhao Qingzhu away forcefully.
As expected, the arrow struck him just as he had planned.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist, and then his body flew backward more than half a meter before crashing heavily to the ground.
The arrow was stuck in his waist.
The next moment, gunshots rang out, shouts of battle erupted, and at the same time, Zhao Qingzhu's panicked voice rang out:
"No…………"
A cacophony of sounds mingled together, and amidst this chaos, Zhao Qingzhu spoke angrily:
"Get out of here... What else do you want?"
She seemed genuinely angry, and launched an attack while raging.
In a daze, Zhu Yunwen seemed to see the burly assassin from Chechi Kingdom charging towards him.
Zhao Qingzhu was held back by many assassins...
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yunwen became somewhat delirious from the pain.
I just felt like I was being lifted up by someone.
Then came a rapid, frantic sprint.
Soon, Zhu Yunwen lost consciousness.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he slowly woke up. When he did, the scene that greeted him shocked him.
He was in a thatched hut somewhere, and it was unclear where he was.
Before him, a burly man was tending to his wounds. The key point was that this burly man was the leader of the assassins who had tried to kill him in Chechi Kingdom.
Beside him was an assassin from Chechi Kingdom, holding a bowl of water and looking at Zhu Yunwen with adoring eyes.
Zhu Yunwen was shocked. He slowly sat up and then looked down at the injury on his waist.
To his shock, the wound on his waist was not an arrow wound, but a small, shaped impact wound. It looked as if something had struck him with such force that it tore open, leaving the wound.
It's not serious.
He slowly began to speak, looking puzzled:
What's going on?
The burly man from Chechi Kingdom sighed helplessly and said to Zhu Yunwen:
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, we apologize, but we had no other choice but to resort to this measure. You are a worthy ruler."
To be honest, if we weren't forced by threats against our family, we would never have gone against our conscience to kill someone like you. But there are some things we simply had no choice but to do.
