The man stood trembling in place for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing maniacally.

"Haha, I'm still alive...... I'm still alive......"

The man shouted a few words in a frenzy, then turned around, ran two steps forward, suddenly paused, as if remembering something, the man turned back, squatted down, stripped off the burlap clothes of a man on the ground, and put it on his body.

After that, the man limped forward.

In the darkness of the night, two black shadows followed behind the man.

After a while, two more "corpses" on the ground crawled up, but instead of stripping others of their clothes from the ground, they left in a hurry.

This time, three of the released assassins were alive, and all three left under the watchful eye of the guards.

The guards followed the three men all the way to a silent courtyard on the outskirts of Wanjing City.

This courtyard is not in front of the village, there is no store in the back, it is a very private place.

The three of them entered the courtyard one after another, and when they saw a black figure in the study, they jumped in from the window one after another, and then knelt in front of the black figure.

Xiahou Yuan had just come back not long ago, before, the hunting ground was closed, he had no choice but to find a way to hide in the hunting ground, and waited until the hunting ground was lifted before he secretly came out of the hunting ground and ran all the way back to his stronghold.

When he came back, he found that there was no one in the courtyard, and he knew that something was wrong, and those assassins, this time, I was afraid that they were all arrested.

He went to the study, ready to pack his things and leave here for a while.

After all, when the assassin was caught, the people of Tianchi Kingdom must have tried every means to ask the Empress Mu's mastermind, and even though they had been specially trained, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would leak this place.

However, as soon as he packed up a little something, he saw three people flying in through the window one after another, and the three of them knelt in front of him, dripping blood all over their bodies, and they looked embarrassed.

"Your Highness, your subordinates are incompetent and have failed to complete their tasks." The three men in black knelt on the ground and confessed their mistakes.

Xiahou Yuan looked at the scars all over their bodies and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

One of them said: "We were arrested by the Taiwei of Tianchi Country and tortured to extract confessions, but we didn't say who Mu Hou, but the Taiwei said that someone else had already said His Highness, so as soon as I was free, I immediately rushed to report to His Highness and protect His Highness." ”

"And how did you get out?" A flash of doubt and danger flashed in Xiahou Yuan's eyes.

In the capital of Tianchi Kingdom, they were caught, how could they escape so easily?

Did they buy their freedom at the cost of betraying themselves?

The assassins hurriedly explained: "Because the captain said that they already knew about the people of the queen, they killed us, and the other of our companions were killed by them, and several of us were seriously injured and unconscious, probably they thought that we were going to die, so they threw us in the mass grave, and we were able to escape." ”

Another assassin said, "Your Highness, we are now isolated in the Tianchi Kingdom, what are Your Highness going to do now?" Do you want us to escort His Highness back? ”

"Not yet." Xiahou Yuan said: "Tomorrow, I will go to Prince Huan's Mansion to inquire before making plans." ”

"Yes."

Xiahou Yuan saw that they were covered with injuries, so he said: "You go down to rest first, and take care of your body as soon as possible, maybe there will be tasks in the future." ”
