Chapter 8: The Assassins

Before Shen Quan finished speaking, he found a dart flying from the window and shooting towards the prince of Xiang.

With a sound of "dang", Shen Quan flew forward and pulled out the true martial sword to pick up the dart. Then two assassins broke through the window, and Shen Quan could only stop one of them, and the other went straight to kill the prince of Xiang. The two assassins were both realm martial artists, although Shen Quan's swordsmanship was exquisite, but Shen Quan couldn't break through the defense under the protective body, but the person who fought with him couldn't help Shen Quan, so the two of them fought.

Shen Quan could only hope that the secret guards of the prince of Xiang would come as soon as possible, after all, Shen Quan would not be able to support it for long, and when his true qi was exhausted, Shen Quan's swordsmanship would be powerless no matter how exquisite it was.

Shen Quan, who was fighting, suddenly found that the prince of Xiang was still sitting calmly and drinking. In front of him was the young girl fending off the Assassins. Shen Quan didn't see that this delicate girl was actually a realm master, and the assassin was slowly falling into disadvantage in his hands.

"Leave that human realm kid alone, go and solve the target. ”

Hearing this, the assassin who had fought with Shen Quan immediately got rid of Shen Quan and killed the prince of Xiang. Shen Quan watched helplessly as the man killed the prince of Xiang, but Shen Quan couldn't stop him. secretly wants that the prince of Xiang will die here, and hopes that the king of Xiang will not be angry with him, otherwise he Shen Quan can only die in the world.

Just as the assassin's dagger was about to stab the prince of Xiang, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the prince of Xiang, and two rough fingers caught the assassin's dagger.

Shen Quan was shocked, that person was actually the groom, only to see the middle-aged groom in sackcloth with an expressionless face to break the dagger with his fingers, and stabbed the dagger blade into the assassin's head with his backhand. Another Assassin was horrified.

"Heavenly ...... Heavenly Realm powerhouse...... is willing to drive for others and be a groom. ”

The Assassin quickly got rid of the girl and sped to the side of the boat, jumping into the boat.

"Hehe, I still want to escape from my grandfather. The groom grinned, picked up the soft whip from his waist and threw it at the assassin. The Assassin had barely jumped out of the boat and was halfway into the water when he was tied to his waist with a soft whip and pulled up.

The Assassin found that there was no escape, and was about to bite through the poison hidden in his teeth when he was pinched by the groom, who pressed lightly. There was a "click", and the Assassin's jaw was dislocated.

The groom reached out his large, rough hand into the Assassin's mouth, pulling out the poison along with his teeth. At the mention of it, he brought the Assassin to the Prince.

"Ben Shizi, I don't ask who sent you, anyway, I can guess it. Shen Quan looked at the assassin and said coldly, then said to the horseman, "Senior Xu, I have worked hard today, and I bother you to take him to the water prison for torture." ”

The horseman surnamed Xu hugged his fist at the prince of Xiang and disembarked with the assassin on board.

"Brother Shen, I'm sorry, today's wine has disturbed these blind-eyed assassins, and next time I'll get drunk with Brother Shen. The prince of Xiang smiled bitterly at Shen Quan.

"It's okay, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, now, Your Highness will definitely have a lot of things to do, so don't worry about it anymore, I'll just go back by myself." Shen Quan shook his head and said.

"That's fine, it's just that it's curfew time now, Brother Shen will take the carriage when we came, and I'll send someone to send Brother Shen back, so that no one will check it." The prince of Xiang said to Shen Quan after a moment of silence.

"Then I will take my leave. Shen Quan hugged his fist to the prince of Xiang.

As soon as Shen Quan got off the boat, he found that the entire street had been blocked by soldiers.

"Yes, after all, the prince of Xiang was assassinated here, and no one knows if there are assassins lurking, and the Xiang Wangfu will definitely dig three feet into the ground to search at this moment. Shen Quan thought to himself.

At this time, a soldier drove over the carriage that Shen Quan was riding in when he came and stopped beside Shen Quan. The soldier jumped out of the carriage and said respectfully to Shen Quan: "Shen Shaoxia, please get into the carriage." ”

"This soldier's eldest brother, when he came before, did the groom who drove the car always drive for His Royal Highness the Prince?" After getting into the carriage, Shen Quan thought about it and lifted the curtain to ask the soldier who was driving.

"Shen Shaoxia, you're talking about Lao Xu, he hasn't always driven for the prince, he only drives for the prince, and today is the first time I've seen him drive for the prince. Why did Shen Shaoxia ask about this. The soldier turned and touched his head.

"Oh, nothing, just asking. ”

Shen Quan put down the curtain and sat back in the car, thinking that today's assassination of the prince of Xiang was so calm and calm, and all kinds of responses were also in order, so the prince of Xiang must have received the news in advance and would make all kinds of arrangements. Even that Jingqing girl is a master of the realm, so today's Prince of Xiang invited him to Lan Yafang may also be part of his plan. The prince of Xiang may have recruited him intentionally, or it may have been improvised. But no matter what, the new one of the prince of Xiang tonight is a success.

"What a good idea!"

Back at the Xiangwang Mansion, as soon as Shen Quan walked to the door of the small courtyard of the guest room, he saw Liu Yingxue's mother and daughter sitting in the corridor watching him coming.

"Auntie, Yingxue, you haven't slept yet!" Shen Quan said a little embarrassed, at this moment he was a little weak-hearted, he felt like a man fooling around outside in the middle of the night and was blocked at the door by his wife and mother-in-law, although they didn't have this relationship now.

"I heard that the virtuous nephew and the prince of Xiang were assassinated in Lan Yafang, are you okay?" Mrs. Liu asked Shen Quan with concern.

Shen Quan saw that Liu Yingxue's gaze was still cold, but he still noticed a trace of concern, so he happily replied: "Auntie, Yingxue, I'm fine, the assassins have been caught, so you are worried." ”

"It's okay if you're alright. When Mrs. Liu heard that Shen Quan was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"This prince of Xiang is really a heroic figure. Shen Quan suddenly sighed in a low voice, and then told them everything that happened tonight.

"This kind of matter between emperors and princes is better to be less involved in the future. You two, let's leave tomorrow! Although the rivers and lakes are also dangerous, they are not as turbulent as the undercurrents here. After listening to this, Mrs. Liu said to her daughter and Shen Quan.

"Mother!"

Liu Yingxue heard that she was going to separate from her mother who depended on her life at this moment, although she had a cold personality, her face couldn't help but show a trace of reluctance.

"Ying Xue, don't be reluctant to give up your mother, it's good to have good clothes and food in Xiangwangfu, there is no war now, and there will be no dangerous tasks for my mother to do. Even if he met an assassin like today, Yi Niang's martial arts could still handle it. Mrs. Liu saw that her daughter was reluctant, so she comforted.

"Okay, let's go back and rest! Shen Xian's nephew also rested early. Mrs. Liu saw that it was not too early, so she led her daughter to the courtyard next door.

Shen Quan watched the two leave, and suddenly Mrs. Liu turned around and said to Shen Quan: "Shen Xian's nephew, in the future, it is better to go to that kind of place less." After speaking, without waiting for Shen Quan to answer, he left directly.

Shen Quan was embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly replied: "Okay, in the future, the virtuous nephew will never go again, and the aunt will go slowly." ”
