Xiao Yang followed behind Xiao Yuan, looking at the strangers behind the First Prince:
"Cousin, don't you think there's something off about those gangsters?"
Xiao Yuan: "What did you figure out?"
Xiao Yang thought for a moment and then said it:
"I feel like they're looking at us like we're their enemies, and they're looking at the eldest prince the same way!"
Xiao Yuan: "Are you sure you didn't see wrong? They were sent by the First Prince!"
Xiao Yang thought for a moment:
"There shouldn't be any mistake. The two older ones in front are well hidden, but there's a slightly younger one behind them!"
Xiao Yuan glanced at Xiao Yang:
"What do you want me to do?"
Xiao Yang...
"I'm just stating what I saw; what you do next is your business!"
Xiao Yuan chuckled softly:
"You don't need to be so formal with me. No matter what our future status is, you'll always be my cousin! But let's go back and keep an eye on things. If our eldest brother dies here, it won't be a good thing for us!"
Emperors have always been suspicious! Therefore, the eldest prince cannot die here!
Next, Xiao Yuan's group split into two!
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yang followed silently behind the eldest prince!
The time for the spring hunt was fast approaching. Seeing that the First Prince was already on his way back, while the others had not yet made a move, Xiao Yang and Xiao Yuan exchanged a glance!
Both of them looked extremely grave. Having followed the eldest prince all the way, they had seen the actions of those people clearly. Why hadn't they made a move yet? Were they waiting until they reached the emperor before taking action?
But the emperor has a lot of people protecting him, so it's impossible to succeed. I really don't know what these people are thinking!
Soon, when the eldest prince was about a hundred meters away from the emperor, the martial arts practitioners behind him made their move!
He directly pressed a dagger against the Crown Prince's neck!
Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yang...
I considered countless possibilities, but I never expected it to turn out like this!
However, this group of people still don't understand the royal family. The royal family is the most ruthless. Who do you think you are threatening with this?
The two then decided to play it by ear! So they quietly took a few steps back, trying not to be discovered!
The people around the emperor also noticed what was happening and immediately informed the emperor!
The Emperor frowned: After all, he was his eldest son. Although he wasn't very capable, he was still the one he had the most expectations for!
He gave a look to the person next to him and slowly walked this way!
Just as the emperor was about to speak, several short arrows gleaming with a cold light shot straight at him from the front. They were extremely fast and vicious. Fortunately, the people around the emperor reacted quickly and turned around in an instant, carrying the emperor and rushing forward themselves. The short swords pierced through his arm!
One hand immediately changed color:
"Your Majesty, be careful! It's poisoned!"
The emperor was instantly surrounded by the crowd. Looking at the hand of the guard who had saved him, the emperor's face grew increasingly gloomy!
"Slaughter the entire Western Shu royal family! Charge!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several more arrows flew rapidly from a distance!
"Protect the Emperor!"
At this moment, a dozen guards began to approach the emperor. At first, Xiao Yang didn't think anything of it, but then he suddenly noticed that one of the guards looked very similar to the martial arts man who had just been by the eldest prince's side!
not good!
There was no time for Xiao Yang to think, so he grabbed Xiao Yuan and ran into the crowd!
He explained to Xiao Yuan as he ran:
"These guards are imposters!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan understood the importance of the matter and, without Xiao Yang pulling him, began to move quickly!
When the two arrived, they saw the group of fake guards desperately trying to get closer to the emperor, as if they were trying their best to protect him!
Xiao Yang and Xiao Yuan exchanged a glance, not daring to be too reckless. They pretended to block the arrows flying from all sides while quickly walking towards the Emperor's side!
When the Emperor saw the two of them, he gradually noticed their expressions, and his heart sank!
The two quickly arrived in front of the Emperor, and Xiao Yang and Xiao Yuan immediately surrounded him from the front and back!
Without saying a word, he immediately started fighting with the fake guards!
Fearing the Imperial Guards might misunderstand, Xiao Yang shouted loudly, "They are imposters! Protect the Emperor!"
Once the imposter realized he had been exposed, he stopped pretending and immediately started fighting with the group!
Xiao Yang had been at level nine for several years, so he could handle anyone who wasn't too strong! Xiao Yuan had been at level eight for several years, plus the Imperial Guards!
Therefore, the war quickly came to an end!
Looking at the group of people lying down, the emperor gave a look to the person next to him:
"Find out how they got in here!"
Since the Emperor still needed to oversee the overall situation, he glanced at Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yang and then turned and left!
"I thought I could make a name for myself, but I didn't expect these people to be so useless. With such poor martial arts skills, how dare they attempt to assassinate the Emperor? Are they just courting death!"
Xiao Yang muttered a helpless complaint!
If I had known these people were so bad, I should have gone hunting!
Xiao Yuan...
"Be careful, the walls have ears!"
Xiao Yang glanced around; it was just the two of them! He breathed a sigh of relief!
Just think, if someone with ulterior motives heard what I said, they might think I wanted the emperor to be harmed!
Since there was another event coming up, a horse race, the two quickly headed towards the racetrack!
When the two arrived, the racecourse was already packed with people!
Xiao Yuan gave Xiao Yang a meaningful look: "The people of the Western Liao are very skilled in horsemanship and archery, so you should be careful, especially you!"
