The Invincible Sixth Prince

Shen Kuan's sudden roar woke up everyone who was still guessing riddles.

The next moment, two sleeve arrows shot at Shen Kuan, making a slight "ding-dang" sound.

"Protect His Highness!"

"Catch assassins!"

The guards who reacted immediately rushed downstairs, and several of them quickly stood in front of Yun Zheng and others.

Miaoyin, Shen Luoyan and Jiayao rushed out almost at the same time and jumped down from the second floor, leaving Lan Hua stunned.

Are all the women around Yun Zheng so powerful?

Mrs. Shen and Wei Shuang quickly stood up and rushed to the door behind them to protect the children in the room.

The sudden assassination instantly plunged the scene into chaos.

"Run!"

"Help me..."

"Get down, everyone get down!"

The first floor of the inn was in chaos, with panicked people everywhere.

Yun Zheng's face suddenly fell, and he stood up and looked at Shen Kuan, "Is anything wrong?"

"fine."

Shen Kuan shook his head, "Both sleeve arrows hit the armor."

Yun Zheng was relieved. Seeing Mingyue about to rush down, he pulled her back and said, "Take good care of the children and don't join in the fun!"

Turning back, Yun Zheng ordered Shen Kuan in a stern voice: "Seal the inn immediately, no one is allowed to leave without permission! The princess and the others are not wearing armor, let her three come back first."

"Yes!"

Shen Kuan shouted loudly and quickly called out to his guards: "Pass the order down, seal off the inn immediately..."

Soon, several guards quickly blocked the front and back doors of the inn.

Downstairs, Miaoyin and the other two had intercepted an assassin.

"Leave this to me, and go catch the other assassins!"

Jia Yao ordered Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin to quickly pull out the whip tied around their waists.

The assassin looked at Jia Yao sternly and quickly pulled out a dagger.

"Snapped!"

Just as the assassin drew out his dagger, the whip in Jia Yao's hand had already swung over.

However, the assassin was quite skilled and dodged Jia Yao's whip with a quick move.

However, before he could launch an attack on Jia Yao, Jia Yao's whip attacked again like a snake.

It was too late for the assassin to dodge.

Jia Yao's whip quickly wrapped around the assassin's neck. Jia Yao tightened it hard, and the assassin immediately swung his knife to cut off the whip.

But Jia Yao seemed to have anticipated this move. The moment he made his move, Jia Yao shook the whip in his hand upwards and avoided the attack of the dagger.

At the same time, Jia Yao moved quickly and came behind the assassin.

As Jia Yao continued to tighten the whip, the strong feeling of suffocation made the assassin unable to hold the dagger in his hand steadily, and the dagger fell to the wooden floor with a "bang".

On the other side, Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin were also chasing the other two assassins. The assassins were desperately trying to squeeze into the crowd, trying to escape with the help of the chaotic crowd.

However, the two of them would never give them a chance to escape.

The two men quickly rushed into the crowd and headed straight for the fleeing assassin.

Seeing them chasing after him, an assassin suddenly attacked Shen Luoyan with a hidden arrow.

Shen Luoyan dodged the attack from the sleeve arrow.

Taking advantage of this gap, the assassin escaped again.

Just as Miaoyin and the others were chasing the fleeing assassins, Shen Kuan and his men rushed over to stop them. "Princess, Madam Miaoyin, these assassins have hidden weapons on them. You are not wearing armor, so leave these assassins to us!"

Shen Luoyan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay! You guys be careful too! Also, try not to hurt other people by mistake!"

"Yes!"

Shen Kuan took the order and immediately went to hunt down the assassin.

The assassin was quickly blocked by the guards.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the assassin simply grabbed a civilian and held him in front of him, pressing a dagger to the civilian's throat.

"Don't come here. If you come here again, I'll kill him!"

The assassin growled viciously and retreated continuously, using the civilians to shield his own body.

"Put down your weapons and surrender, and I will give you a quick death!"

Shen Kuan looked at the assassin coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"dream!"

The assassin snorted coldly, "Come here if you have the guts. Even if I die, I will take a few people with me!"

Facing the assassin's desperate resistance, Shen Kuan couldn't help but frown.

If they rushed over now, they would definitely be able to capture the assassin easily.

But most of those held hostage by the assassins could not escape death.

This happened in public, disregarding the lives of civilians in order to catch the assassin, which would more or less affect the reputation of Yun Zheng and the Royal Guards.

Just when Shen Kuan was hesitating, Yun Zheng upstairs suddenly spoke up: "Shen Kuan, take your men back! Don't hurt the civilians!"

While Yun Zheng was speaking, Miaoyin had already picked up the sleeve arrow that had failed to kill Yun Zheng just now, and was quietly making preparations.

After receiving Yun Zheng's order, Shen Kuan raised his hand unwillingly, signaling the people surrounding the assassin to retreat.

Seeing Shen Kuan and the others retreat, the assassin immediately revealed a smug grin on his face.

Taking advantage of the moment when the assassin relaxed his vigilance, Miaoyin suddenly waved her hand and an arrow from her sleeve flew into the air.

"Whoosh!"

Miaoyin was looking down from a high position, and the arrow from her sleeve accurately shot the assassin's arm.

The assassin felt pain and subconsciously let go.

Shen Kuan seized the opportunity and pounced forward, pulling the hostage away and kicking the assassin back...

Half a quarter of an hour later, all three assassins who had appeared were caught, two of them were captured alive, and one, seeing that he could not escape, committed suicide due to serious injuries.

Although the three assassins were caught, the blockade of the inn was not lifted.

The Guards will continue to search to see if there are other assassins hiding in the inn.

After something like this happened, the Lantern Festival naturally could not go on.

"Your Highness, I..."

Zhang Xu looked at Yun Zheng in a daze, not knowing what to say.

"Alright! Can I still doubt that you arranged an assassin to kill me?"

Yun Zheng glared at Zhang Xu.

What is this birdman thinking?

Can I still doubt him?

"I'm not afraid that His Highness will suspect me." Zhang Xu said bitterly, "I just feel that I didn't check these people well enough, and I almost..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Yun Zheng interrupted Zhang Xu, "Didn't you see that these people were carrying short swords and hidden arrows? The people checking at the city gate couldn't find them out, so how could you find them out?"

"..."

Zhang Xu opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

"Alright, don't say anything!" Yun Zheng patted Zhang Xu's shoulder, "It has nothing to do with you in the first place, so don't blame yourself!"

"Well, you arrange for someone to send Mr. Wu and his men back home, and I will take these assassins back for interrogation first."

"Also, appease the people in the inn and tell them that we are only investigating assassins. As long as they have nothing to do with the assassins, I will never make things difficult for them!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Xu nodded in agreement, and then said to Yun Zheng viciously: "Your Highness, hand over that dead bastard to me."

Yun Zheng was puzzled: "What do you want a corpse for?"

"Whip the corpse!"

Zhang Xu said this viciously, staring at the assassin's body with a ferocious look on his face.

"..."

Yun Zheng was speechless for a moment...
