The girl was completely stunned by the flashing of swords and she couldn't remember anything Wen Zhimiao had said to her before.

The hand holding the dagger was shaking, but my mind was completely blank and I couldn't remember anything.

Wen Zhimiao saw out of the corner of her eye that a killer was about to swing a knife at her.

Turning around, he cut off the killer's wrist with his sword, and Shi Wanyue cooperated to protect her.

Wen Zhimiao approached the girl, held her hand, pulled her forward, and inserted the dagger directly into the killer's throat.

"You can't just stand there and wait for someone to save you. Fear and begging for mercy won't save you."

The cold words fell into the girl's ears, and seemed to explode in an instant.

She pulled back the dagger violently, muttering "Kill you" like a madman.

Wen Zhimiao let her go and just barely protected her, while he put more energy into dealing with the killer.

She was more ruthless than Shi Wanyue, but Shi Wanyue did not fall behind thanks to her skills and calmness.

After fighting for such a long time, both sides have lost a lot of people. It can be seen that they are evenly matched. Now they are fighting hard, almost trying their best.

If today's large-scale assassination fails, these killers will not survive if they return.

If these guards cannot protect Wen Zhimiao today, even if they survive, they will have no chance of survival when facing the emperor's accountability.

Chu Qiu was dealing with the most powerful leader among the killers and had no time to care about Wen Zhimiao for a while.

Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue have always been together and have never been separated.

Occasionally, Wen Zhimiao would help the guards around him out of trouble.

"Protect His Highness!" A group of unfamiliar figures broke in. Shi Wanyue finally breathed a sigh of relief after looking at the clothes on those people.

"People from the Supervisory Council are here." Shi Wanyue said softly to Wen Zhimiao.

Wen Zhimiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't have to die." The battle just now was overly intense, and there were a few moments when Wen Zhimiao really thought he couldn't escape today.

But the next moment, Shi Wanyue was attacked by two killers at the same time. Compared with Wen Zhimiao, her skills were slightly inferior, and she was attacked by two top killers at the same time, and she was unable to cope with it for a while.

Wen Zhimiao's heart instantly rose to his throat.

The two killers swung their knives at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.

Shi Wanyue blocked the attack from the left and had no time to fight back.

Wen Zhimiao suddenly swung his sword, put his arm around Shi Wanyue's waist, and brought her out of the siege, without paying attention to what was behind him.

"Miao Miao, behind me."

Wen Zhimiao stopped retreating immediately after hearing this.

He immediately retreated to the right, and Wen Zhimiao handed the long sword in his hand to Shi Wanyue. Then he quickly took the dagger from Shi Wanyue and threw it back.

Shi Wanyue also grasped the sword tightly and turned around, and the sword slashed the throat of the killer behind him.

The killer behind Wen Zhimiao was stabbed in the abdomen by a dagger, and at the same time a sharp dagger was inserted into his neck.

The spurting blood dyed the face of the girl behind him red.

Wen Zhimiao retracted his sword, but his arms were still tightly around Shi Wanyue's waist.

The situation just now was really thrilling. If it weren't for the tacit cooperation between Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue, Shi Wanyue would have been injured by now.

Wen Zhimiao's heavy breathing fell into Shi Wanyue's ears, as did her rapid heartbeat.

The people from the Supervisory Office cooperated with the original guards and took the opportunity to protect Wen Zhimiao tightly.

The girl who had just helped Wen Zhimiao was also surrounded in the middle, still holding the dagger tightly in her hand.

There was a bright fire outside the post station. Wen Zhimiao stood in the crowd and said coldly, "Kill without mercy."

The soldiers outside surrounded the post station. With the help of the Supervisory Council inside the post station, the assassins gradually lost the upper hand.

The situation was gradually under control. Wen Zhimiao walked to the hall, and the leader of the soldiers who came to rescue her knelt down in front of her: "I am late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Wen Zhimiao bent down and helped him up: "General Tang, you are too kind. It is a great thing that you can come."

"Where is the city defender now?" Wen Zhimiao asked indifferently.

"The City Guard House has been taken under control. Your Highness, do you want to ask for punishment?"

Wen Zhimiao laughed: "Ask, why not ask."

"Prepare the horses and go to the city defense mansion." She still held the sword in her hand, and the blade was still stained with blood.

Bian Ruitong and others also came out from the corner. Seeing Wen Zhimiao was about to leave, Bian Ruitong hurriedly followed him: "Your Highness, take me with you."

Wen Zhimiao laughed: "What do I bring you with me for? I'm here to protect them."

But just as she finished speaking, a white hand grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Mother and His Majesty are afraid that Your Highness may act impulsively, so they asked me to keep a closer eye on Him." Shi Wanyue looked at Wen Zhimiao, her tone calm, as if she was just doing her job.

Wen Zhimiao sighed helplessly: "Sister..."

"Your Highness, this is the order of His Majesty." Shi Wanyue looked at her with a firm gaze.

Wen Zhimiao sighed: "Okay."

Shi Wanyue held her hand tightly and never let go.

The warhorse stopped at the entrance of the post station. Wen Zhimiao climbed onto the horse, and Shi Wanyue followed suit, even hugging Wen Zhimiao's waist.

General Tang was stunned. Before he came, he had never thought that someone could be so arrogant in front of this young prince.

Wen Zhimiao rode his horse to the outside of the city guard's mansion, and the soldiers who accompanied him stood in an orderly manner at the entrance of the city guard's mansion.

Shi Wanyue followed Wen Zhimiao into the City Guard Mansion, and everyone in the mansion gathered in the courtyard.

When they saw Wen Zhimiao coming in, they all trembled, only two of them looked relatively calm.

One of them was the City Guard Wen, and the other was a young girl in the crowd who looked about the same age as Shi Wanyue.

Wen Zhimiao sat down lazily on the entrance steps.

There was a lot of blood on her body, and she looked ferocious.

Shi Wanyue stood next to her. Although there was a lot of blood on her body, she still looked more frail.

"Wen Chang is a branch of the Wen royal family. He was exiled here after Wen Huai's death. During his tenure, he was strict in his administration and fair in his administration. The people all praised Wen as an upright official."

Wen Zhimiao spoke slowly, her eyes calmly looking at the man in the lead. The man was dressed in a gray official robe, and he kept his back straight even when facing Wen Zhimiao.

"Your Highness, I welcome you." Wen Chang did not answer her question first, but bowed respectfully.

Everyone in the palace followed suit and kowtowed.

"Get up." Wen Zhimiao said coldly.

Wen Chang stood up and looked at Wen Zhimiao: "Your Highness, the late emperor is your father."

"You shouldn't call him by his name like that." Wen Chang corrected Wen Zhimiao with a serious face.

Wen Zhimiao laughed and waved his hand lazily: "I have disowned him since I was a child. It is better not to have such an incompetent father."

What she said was too straightforward, and Wen Chang was speechless for a moment.

"I took a walk around the city this afternoon."

Wen Zhimiao suddenly changed the subject and even asked about government affairs, without mentioning at all that Wen Chang had colluded with outsiders to murder her, the princess of the current dynasty.

After chatting for a long time, Wen Zhimiao stood up again: "The city defender has worked hard to govern the city and has made great contributions. I will report to the Queen Mother and commend her for her contribution."

She glanced at the families in the yard, and finally smiled: "I have been traveling along the way and found that there is a house in Fu'an City. The family of the city lord should like it."

"I heard that you are very obsessed with medicine. Dean Lu of the Imperial Medical Bureau is still in need of a disciple. I wonder if you are interested?" Wen Zhimiao looked at the women in the crowd and asked with a smile.

The woman's eyes brightened a little when she heard that, but she didn't dare to answer.

He glanced at his father cautiously.

Wen Zhimiao saw it all but said nothing, still smiling and waiting for her answer.
