The twenty-odd assassins all looked at their leader, their eyes asking inquiries:
Boss, what should we do?
The leader of the assassins twitched his lips, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
He waved his hand fiercely and said in a deep voice, "We are suicide squads. If we fail to complete the mission, we will die. Charge!"
At the command of the lead assassin, the remaining assassins immediately split into two groups:
A group of five or six people charged towards Shang Beiyu halfway up the mountain;
A group of more than twenty people attacked Ji Fengyao and her three servants at the foot of the artificial hill.
"So you're assassins, Ninth Princess, be careful!" Shang Beiyu instinctively retaliated, uttering a very naive remark.
Upon hearing this, the assassins who were charging towards him couldn't help but roll their eyes in unison:
The third prince has been neglected for many years, and his mind is no longer functioning properly.
If they weren't assassins, what would they be doing hiding here?
But soon, their smiles faded.
Who can tell them who this neglected third prince learned such excellent skills from?
The six of them surrounded him, but they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes!
Shang Beiyu originally intended to strike hard from the start, crushing these lowly bugs in two moves.
Because most of these assassins had been sent to surround and kill the young female bandit, he feared that she would be outnumbered and injured.
But he glanced at the little female bandit while he was away, and the guards that Shang Xiye had sent to the little female bandit came out from the shadows in time, and their numbers were no less than those of the assassins.
The little bandit girl, along with her three maids and the secret guards sent by Shang Xiye, couldn't even share the assassins with them.
Shang Beiyu: "..."
The group of assassins: "!!!"
I feel incredibly miserable.
Empress Dowager, you are truly our beloved Empress Dowager!
You freaking have no idea that the Ninth Princess Consort has so many people around her?
Moreover, they are all capable of taking on three people. You sent out these few guys? Are you sure you didn't intend for them to be delivered as food?
Seeing that her share of the sandbag had been snatched away, Ji Fengyao flew towards Shang Beiyu's side, saying, "I'm going to help the Third Prince!"
"Miss, wait for me, I'm going too!" Magpie realized that her sandbag had also been stolen, so she immediately followed.
Shang Beiyu, who had been fighting quite leisurely, immediately became flustered when he saw Ji Fengyao and Xique approaching, and even (voluntarily raised his arm) took a blow from a cleaver.
The assassin N, who had missed his attack and withdrawn his sword, was completely dumbfounded.
What the heck?
What just happened?
Upon closer inspection, the Third Prince, who had been so graceful just moments before that you couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes, had now become a living punching bag that you could reach.
Six assassins: "???"
When Ji Fengyao and Xi Que saw that Shang Beiyu had been killed, they were immediately alarmed.
The two charged forward like two angry leopards, attacking from both sides and forcing back the six bewildered assassins surrounding Shang Beiyu.
The magpie finally had a chance to take out her short whip, which she swung with a whooshing sound: "Miss, please check the Third Prince's injuries first, and leave these people to me!"
Ji Fengyao knew that these assassins weren't particularly skilled.
With Xique's skills and the advantage of her short whip, taking on six people at once was no problem at all. She trusted Xique's abilities and agreed.
Pull Shang Beiyu out of the battle.
Ji Fengyao tore open his blood-stained sleeve and saw a wound about two inches long and deep enough to see the bone. She frowned and said, "With your skills, how could you have taken such a heavy blow when dealing with these small fry?"
"I saw you and your maid coming over, and I was worried you might get hurt, so I was distracted and neglected you for a moment," Shang Beiyu said calmly.
