ly right that he should die! However, I beg your Highness to show mercy on the Duan family, who have served for three generations, with only one son to carry on the lineage.""As for bumping into me, i...Chapter 355: Assassination

The guards came over, but they didn't seem to take it too seriously.

Just outside the East Palace gate is a main road. Occasionally, some commoners would quarrel here. The guards would usually drive them away with words, and if things escalated, they would call nearby constables to arrest them. However, most of the time, these were just trivial family matters among commoners.

They thought that today would be no different.

And a fat and a thin man, faced with Wan Jiaojiao's scolding, seemed not to hear anything, until they approached the carriage within ten steps. Wan Jiaojiao stood up on the carriage and shouted loudly: "If you come any closer, I will call the guards!"

At this moment, the two guards who were walking over also recognized Wan Jiaojiao.

Knowing that Wan Jiaojiao served the Crown Prince, they immediately reacted. Wan Jiaojiao personally drove the carriage, who else could be in the carriage

These two guards immediately rushed over and shouted, "You two damned things, do you know who is in the carriage Be careful not to die!"

But at this moment, Li Chen also climbed out of the carriage, frowning and saying, “What's going on”

Before Wan Jiajiao and the two guards could reply, the two men, one fat and one thin, saw Li Chen in person. They suddenly roared with ferocious expressions, "Dog Prince, come die!"

As soon as the words fell, in the world blanketed by heavy snow, on the plaza before the East Palace Gate, killing intent surged like mercury, flooding and cascading down relentlessly.

Li Chen widened his eyes, seeing only a flash of snow-bright blade light from the waists of the two men rushing towards him with blinding speed. In the blink of an eye, it would fill his entire field of vision.

Li Chen's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

He had once imagined that someone might attempt to assassinate him, but he hadn't expected an assassination to come so suddenly and without warning.

At this juncture, there is no reason for either side to take such a step, yet, here we are!

In the blink of an eye, Li Chen, who had never faced an assassination attempt before in his life, didn't even have time to react as the blade flew towards his throat.

"Your Highness!!!"

A scream pulled Li Chen's thoughts back, and then he felt a soft body crash into him.

Li Chen fell off the carriage and saw the blade plunging into Wan Jiaojiao's body, replaced by a handful of scalding blood.

The crimson blood splattered onto Li Chen's face.

It was still warm.

Li Chen, falling from the carriage, reached out with one hand and hugged Wan Jiaojiao.

While Wan Jiaojiao, with a deep slash on her shoulder exposing bone, was barely clinging to life.

"Kill the Dog Prince!!!"

The surrounding shouts of killing rose into the sky. Li Chen raised his eyes and looked around, more than ten figures charging towards him from all directions, each stepping carelessly, their weapons shining brightly in their hands, with a surging murderous intent.

And the two guards, were already lying dead in a pool of blood.

Li Chen stood up, facing this inescapable predicament, his heart turned as cold as ice.

This kind of predicament, it seems he has nowhere to go.

The fat man who made the first move still had Wan Jiaojiao's blood on his knife. He stared at Li Chen with a crazed grin and said, "Dog Prince, you escaped the first blade, but can you escape the second"

Take a deep breath, as long as there's still a chance to speak, it's good!

Li Chen was confident that he could delay some time. The commotion here would immediately attract the rescue of the East Palace guards and the secret agents from the Dongchang who were following behind him.

Li Chen sank his voice and said, “You, why do you want to kill this palace”

"Fatty, stop wasting time with him. The night is long and dreams can be broken!"

A tall and thin man killed two guards, shouted something, and then thrust his long sword towards Li Chen's throat.

"Take my life!"
