Chapter 492 I can’t fight anymore
The sharp tip of the knife pierced Xuan Qianfeng's chest, and the deep red stain on his chest quickly spread.
Xuan Qianfeng's last look at Xuan Zheng was filled with resentment and endless worry. Then, under Xuan Zheng's terrified gaze, Xuan Qianfeng's body collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
The clash of swords and the sounds of gunfire continued all around, but in Xuan Zheng's world, everything froze.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out; it felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her throat.
Then, a piercing scream finally broke through her throat: "Father!"
Xuan Zheng trembled violently and scrambled toward Xuan Qianfeng's corpse, her face contorted with sobs.
Xuan Zheng's desperate cries had no effect on the overall situation.
The killing and being killed continued unabated.
Cheng Wan was no exception.
Although Xuan Qianfeng's death surprised Cheng Wan, at most she only thought to herself that Prince Jing would even use his own people as scapegoats, and had no other thoughts.
She's currently trapped in enemy territory and can't even take care of herself, so how could she have the time or energy to think about anything else?
Besides, Cheng Wan hadn't forgotten how Xuan Qianfeng had taken advantage of her before!
"Jinjin, how's the situation at Cheying?"
There were too many assassins, and they were too dangerous. It was practically impossible for Cheng Wan and Shan Qing to kill them all on their own. They could only protect Prince Jing and leave the place first.
To leave this place quickly, you need a horse.
The horse is in the carriage camp.
From the moment Prince Jing appeared, Shan Qing had been consciously protecting him and retreating towards the Cheying camp.
However, the assassins are too troublesome, and they have not yet reached the camp.
"It's just as chaotic as this place," Jin Jin succinctly summarized.
The vehicle camp was where the horses, carriages, and the large amount of supplies carried on the journey were properly housed and protected.
Normally, the wagon camp is heavily guarded, but tonight, the heavily guarded wagon camp was one of the first places to be attacked.
The assassins' purpose in attacking the camp was clear: to cause chaos in the camp, attract more people to quell the unrest, and then seize the opportunity to kill Prince Jing.
The facts have proven that the assassin's plan was successful, and very successful.
Even now, some of Prince Jing's men are still entangled with assassins in the carriage camp and cannot get away, resulting in a severe shortage of manpower to protect Prince Jing.
Cheng Wan used her knife to block a knife that was being slashed down by an assassin, gritted her teeth, raised the knife sharply, kicked it out, and quickly took a few steps back to steady herself: "Jin Jin, can you show me the way?"
Cheng Wan was truly exhausted and unable to continue fighting.
No matter how strong she is, it can't stop her from being physically unwell.
"North... Wait! Master, two of Cai Shu's men are sneaking close here!"
Cai Shu was a man of Guo Xiangsong, the governor of Liangzhou, and was responsible for leading the birthday celebration delegation to the capital with Cheng Wan to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
"The birthday celebration delegation has caught up?"
Cheng Wan's eyes widened instantly, and the knife in her hand became even more sharp.
"No other members of the birthday celebration group were detected."
Cheng Wan's heart eased slightly. These assassins were ruthless and even dared to assassinate the emperor's son. She was genuinely afraid that if the entire birthday celebration delegation followed them and got close to this place, these assassins would go so far as to kill the entire delegation in order to silence them.
It's just two constables sneaking close to observe, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Once they see what's going on here, they'll definitely go back and report first.
Just then, Jin Jin's voice rang out again, but her tone was somewhat inexplicable: "Master, Prince Jing's face... is injured."
Ok? !
Prince Jing has been disfigured?!
