The concubine was charming and alluring, and the ruthless prince coaxed her day and night.

Chapter 73 is absolutely insane.

Jin Gang was extremely skilled. In just a few breaths, she led Xu Jiaojiao to the top of the city wall and found a safe high point to stand on.

With a wide view from here, Xu Jiaojiao realized that the group besieging Prince Chen was not just the few people next to the statue of the Weaver Girl; there were others nearby providing support and assistance.

These people were cleverly positioned and well-trained, making them particularly conspicuous among the chaotic fleeing civilians.

Xu Jiaojiao was so frightened that her hands and feet turned ice cold.

crazy!

It's crazy!

Today is the Qixi Festival, and tens of thousands of people have gathered at Zhengyang Gate. How dare these people assassinate Prince Chen here!

It is unknown how many innocent people will be implicated and lose their lives this time.

Beneath the city wall, the towering flames from the statue of the Weaver Girl illuminated the entire Zhengyang Gate.

Sparks flew everywhere, and screams and wails filled the air.

The guards stationed at Zhengyang Gate gradually became confused in the crowd.

Chaos was everywhere they looked. They didn't know where to begin to quell the chaos before them. In fact, their limit was simply trying to keep themselves from being pushed over by the crowd.

Amidst the chaos, Prince Chen and Shadow One were still locked in combat with the enemy.

Xu Jiaojiao subconsciously clenched her fists and stared at them without blinking. Every time the assassin nearly injured Prince Chen, her heart would tremble.

There were only two people, Prince Chen and Ying Yi, against so many opponents. It was impossible for two fists to fight against four hands. No matter how powerful Prince Chen was, he was still just a mortal.

If this continues, Prince Chen will be in grave danger.

No, Prince Chen must not be harmed!

All her current support rests on Prince Chen alone. If Prince Chen dies, all her previous efforts will have been in vain.

Xu Jiaojiao frowned and immediately looked at Jin Gang.

With King Kong's strength, assisting Prince Chen is definitely not a problem. She is in a safe place now, so she can send King Kong down to help.

At this moment, King Kong was also staring intently at Prince Chen's movements, his eyes filled with anxiety.

However, her master's task for her was to protect Xu Jiaojiao, and she dared not leave her post without permission.

Seeing that Prince Chen's arm had been slashed by a sword, Jin Gang's pupils shrank, and he almost blurted out "Master!"

Xu Jiaojiao, standing beside him, also felt a pang of anxiety, her eyes instantly reddening: "Jin Gang, I'm safe here, you go and help the Prince!"

Jin Gang had wanted to go down for a long time. Now that she had received the order, she immediately looked at Xu Jiaojiao and nodded slightly before jumping off the city wall.

While entangled with the enemy, Zhao Yunzheng caught a glimpse of Jin Gang out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils immediately widened in shock: "What are you doing here?! Where's Jiao Jiao?"

King Kong sensed the anger in his master's tone.

As a shadow guard, her primary concern should be the safety of her master. If her master were gone, what would be the point of her guarding those missions?

Jin Gang knew she would be punished afterward, but she did not regret it or back down.

She drew a concealed soft sword from her waist and replied succinctly, "Master Xu is in a safe place. I will go back to find her after I have killed these assassins."

Zhao Yunzheng frowned, veins throbbing on his forehead, and his swordplay became somewhat chaotic, almost allowing someone to find an opening and stab him.

"Buzz!"

The longsword groaned as Zhao Yunzheng raised his sword and brought it down, reaping the life of the man before him.

He flicked his wrist, twirling his sword to shake off the blood, and moved on to the next enemy. At the same time, he spared a moment to order King Kong: "Get back to Jiao Jiao's side immediately! Don't make me say it twice!"

King Kong's eyes dimmed slightly.

Rather than protecting women, she longs for a more expansive and unrestrained battle like Shadow One.

With a helpless stab, she pierced the nearest assassin through the neck with her sword, then replied, "Your subordinate obeys."

After saying that, she turned and ran towards the city wall, but when she looked back, she found that Xu Jiaojiao was gone from the high place.

The city wall was very high, and Xu Jiaojiao, a woman who was completely helpless, would have had a hard time getting down without my help.

King Kong was startled.

Oops! !

……

Half an incense stick's time.

Not long after Jin Gang jumped down, Xu Jiaojiao had an idea. She also used her hands and feet to flip from the highest point to a slightly lower place and continued to crouch down to observe the situation below.

After observing for so long, she had figured out some clues.

Although Prince Chen was on the defensive, his figure and movements revealed that he was not flustered at all.

This feeling is the same as when I was assassinated at the previous welcome banquet.

Xu Jiaojiao guessed that the current situation should also be under the control of Prince Chen, but the situation was really dangerous this time, and she was not sure what to do.

After much deliberation, Xu Jiaojiao realized she needed to prepare two options.

One path leads to success, the other to ruin.

The so-called path to success is the same as what happened at the welcoming banquet. She will first remain hidden in a corner to observe, and when the time is right, she will find an opportunity to get close to Zhao Yunzheng to win his favor and make his love for her even stronger.

The next option was that Prince Chen was unfortunately killed, allowing her to quickly take the money and leave the capital. She would then find a quiet, secluded place to hide until the matter of Prince Chen's death was completely settled, and then find a prosperous town to settle down and make a living.

She looked around at her current location and realized that it wouldn't be too difficult to go down into or out of the city.

Xu Jiaojiao got tired of squatting, so she simply sat down.

These assassins are all after Prince Chen. As long as she doesn't actively attract their attention, she'll be fine.

The thought had barely formed when a masked man scaled the city wall, his sharp eyes scanning left and right.

Xu Jiaojiao choked up and immediately hid behind the other people.

However, the colorful gauze dress was so eye-catching that the man quickly fixed his gaze on Xu Jiaojiao.

As the man approached, Xu Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, they're really after me!

She had barely sat down, not even had her bottom warmed up, when she immediately stood up again, ready to run away.

However, the well-trained assassin was very fast. He didn't give Xu Jiaojiao any time to escape before he appeared next to her.

He grabbed Xu Jiaojiao's shoulders: "Behave yourself if you don't want to die!"

Xu Jiaojiao raised her hands, completely cowering: "Okay!"

The assassin held a dagger to Xu Jiaojiao with one hand and shoved her with the other: "Get down!"

Xu Jiaojiao turned around, bewildered, her eyes filled with clear naivety: "Where are we going?"

The assassin's temple twitched twice clearly: "Go down to the city wall!"

Xu Jiaojiao nodded in sudden realization: "Oh, okay!"

She immediately ran to the city wall and began to climb down using both her hands and feet, her movements quite clumsy.

No sooner had they moved than the assassin nearly exploded with rage: "Climb over to the inner city!"

Xu Jiaojiao trembled in fright, blinked innocently, her eyes filled with fear, and upon closer inspection, one could easily discern a hint of resentment mixed within that fear.

The assassin was practically rolling his eyes.

This woman is beautiful, but she's completely brainless!

I never imagined that a woman like that could become Prince Chen's favorite concubine.

The Prince Chen's residence is truly deserted!

At that moment, the assassin himself didn't realize that he had completely let his guard down around Xu Jiaojiao.

Just as Xu Jiaojiao was walking blankly towards the other side of the city wall, she suddenly turned around unexpectedly, raised her hand swiftly, and stabbed the assassin hard in the neck...
