His hair stood on end instantly, and an extreme panic swept through his body. He instinctively stepped back and narrowly avoided the lottery. He subconsciously reached for the small musket he had developed himself at his waist, but found nothing. When he was tied up, the thing had already been taken off by the King of Wu. His heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley.
Shout for help loudly.
But the soldier had a backup plan and had already used soundproofing instruments.
At the same time, several vines emerged from the ground and tied Wu Dan's legs tightly.
The next moment, the three darts turned into three cold arcs and flew towards Wu Dan, locking Wu Dan's throat and two temples respectively.
The series of actions were completed in one go, taking only two breaths.
Obviously a specially trained killer.
Wu Dan's face turned pale, and his mind went blank. He could only stand there waiting to die.
But at this moment.
"bite!"
"bite!"
"bite!"
With three crisp sounds, the three darts turned into powder out of thin air.
The killer's face changed drastically and his eyes were filled with horror. There was another person in the tent, but he hadn't noticed it.
He was very sure that this person's cultivation was far higher than his own.
The assassin's rule is to flee immediately if you miss the first strike.
He ran away.
However, unexpectedly, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere, and the next moment he seemed to be suppressed under the mountain.
An extremely huge black iron sword smashed half of his body.
Half of the body was intact, but the other half was stuck in the mud and couldn't be dug out.
Blood spurted out and he died on the spot.
The killer's eyes widened, a look of fear fixed on his face.
"Tsk! I still can't control it!"
The woman holding the sword smacked her lips, wiped the blood off the sword with her sleeve, and put the heavy sword back on her back.
The huge sword body looks very incongruous with her slim figure.
The woman turned around and looked at Wu Dan teasingly: "How dare you, a person like you who can't even walk in the martial arts world, compete for the position of crown prince?"
When Wu Dan saw the woman's face clearly, he was stunned for a moment.
"Pick……"
He regained consciousness and looked much more serious: "Li Caitan, why are you here?"
Li Caitan curled his lips: "Do you think I want to be here? Isn't it because Ying Wuji is worried about your safety that he forced me to come here to protect you?"
This statement is half true and half false.
It was indeed the result of her discussion with Ying Wuji.
But she was the one who took the initiative to bring this up.
Wu Dan had a complicated expression, but he thanked her politely: "Thank you very much!"
"If you want to thank someone, thank Ying Wuji!"
Li Caitan waved her hand. For some reason, she felt unhappy: "Be more careful next time. At least use your brain. How long has your father been gone and you have a freshly roasted rabbit for you?
Only the fire-attributed Qi can achieve this speed!
I advise you not to fight for the throne. You'd better die ten times before your brain is enough."
"fart!"
Wu Dan was furious: "I have no one to protect me. When I return to Wu, there will be experts by my side. How could this happen..."
Li Caitan waved his hand to interrupt him: "What happens to you afterwards is none of my business. I will complete my mission by sending you back to Wu."
After saying that.
Turn around.
Waved at him.
The figure disappeared into the air again.
Wu Dan felt a little stuffy in his chest.
I don’t know if I was holding back the words because I only said half of them.
Will you leave if you send me back to Wu?
Wu Dan looked at the corpse that was half beaten into a meat paste on the ground, then looked at the barbecue next to it and sighed softly.
He wanted to go back to Li.
I live a fulfilling life every day. After work, I can brag with my coworkers, and when I have free time, I can find Brother Wuji to grill meat with me.
Such a wonderful life, I wouldn’t trade it even if I were a god.
But think about it, that kind of life can never become the norm for the people in today's world. Eventually, everything will have to return to the normal life of war and deception.
Brother Wuji once said that he wanted to make that kind of life accessible to every citizen.
What a great ideal.
But change your mind.
Are you also working hard for this great ideal now?
In other words, although our group of people have different divisions of labor, they are all doing the same thing.
Wu Dan took a deep breath, bowed to the empty tent, and said solemnly: "Thank you Miss Caitan for seeing me off!"
No answer.
There was only a faint chuckle.
…
Half an hour later.
King Wu came back exhausted but excited. When he saw the corpse on the ground, his face suddenly changed. Then he looked at Wu Dan snoring on the bed safely, then he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Wu Dan up from the bed.
"Father."
Wu Dan rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Have you finished talking?"
King Wu did not answer immediately, but looked at the body on the ground: "What's going on?"
Wu Dan spread his hands and said, "Some people don't want me to return and inherit the throne!"
"oh……"
The King of Wu did not expect Wu Dan to speak so directly. Now, apart from the Zhao family and Wu Qu who was competing with Wu Dan for the position of crown prince, it seemed that no other forces would take action. Although the Zhao family was coming with great momentum, their obvious strength was overwhelming, so they would not resort to assassination.
Moreover, if they want to seize the core technology, killing Wu Dan alone is not enough.
This guy made the right judgment.
He looked at Wu Dan with a hint of admiration in his expression: "So what are you going to do?"
Wu Dan pointed at the body on the ground and said, "That's what we'll do!"
