The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 65: Blood Tower

"court death."

At this moment, another loud shout was heard.

Ning Quan's eyes blurred and a figure passed by him.

Before Ning Quan could react, several assassins were knocked to the ground in an instant.

Only then did Ning Quan realize that the person who came was Xiang Yu.

At this moment, Xiang Yu's eyes were red, and he stared at the assassins like a ferocious beast. A strong murderous aura emanated from his body, which made people feel scared.

Among all the generals in Ningquan, Xiang Yu is the most inconspicuous one.

It's not that his martial arts skills are not good. On the contrary, his martial arts skills are the highest among everyone, definitely at the peak of the ninth rank, comparable to a martial arts master.

It’s just that Xiang Yu never liked to talk much, and he didn’t like to show up in public.

Ning Quan knew his character, so he rarely assigned him any tasks and always used him as a secret guard.

Now it seems that Xiang Yu did not disappoint Ning Quan. He defeated the four assassins with one move and made a great contribution.

Xiang Yu subdued the four assassins and his eyes immediately fell on the short-bladed assassin.

At this moment, the assassin was still fighting with Zhang Fei.

This person was obviously extremely skilled in martial arts, at least ninth rank, otherwise Zhang Fei would not have been able to defeat him for so long.

"Let Xiang come."

Xiang Yu shouted loudly, took a step forward, and instantly appeared beside the short-bladed assassin.

Then he slapped out with his palm, hitting the short-bladed assassin on the shoulder and knocking him down.

"Puch."

After the short-bladed assassin fell to the ground, he instantly spit out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.

Then, Xiang Yu stepped on the short-bladed assassin's chest.

"Cough cough..."

The short-bladed assassin coughed violently, his face as pale as paper.

"Who are you to attack His Majesty?"

Xiang Yu asked sternly.

"Haha, you thought I would tell you?"

The short-bladed assassin laughed loudly, then blood gushed out of his mouth and eyes, and then he became motionless, apparently having died from severed meridians.

"Quickly subdue these four assassins and don't let them commit suicide."

Ning Quan shouted hurriedly.

"Yes."

Before he finished speaking, Li Cunxiao immediately rushed forward and severed the meridians of the four assassins.

Seeing this, Ning Quan felt relieved.

"Your Highness, I am incompetent and failed to protect your safety."

At this time, Zhang Fei stepped forward to apologize.

Zhang Fei was very upset that he failed to capture the assassin and had to rely on Xiang Yu to help him.

"Haha, it's not your fault. The opponent's skills are no worse than yours."

Ning Quan smiled and patted his shoulder.

"oh....."

Zhang Fei nodded dejectedly.

"Say, who sent you?"

Li Cunxiao asked, picking up the collar of an assassin.

"Humph, you don't want to know."

The assassin said stubbornly.

"Still being stubborn, well, I'll let you experience the pain of having your bones torn apart."

Li Cunxiao sneered and pointed several fingers at the assassin, who immediately let out a miserable scream.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Li Cunxiao continued to ask.

"Ah... I don't know. We're just following orders."

The assassin wailed in pain.

"You don't want to tell me, right? Then just continue to enjoy yourself."

"Please... please let me go. I'm telling the truth. Someone paid us to kill His Highness. We were just carrying out our mission..."

"Pay you to assassinate the king?"

"Are you a killer organization?"

"Who was the dead man? Why did he have such skills?"

Ning Quan asked immediately.

"We...we are from the Bixue Tower. The person who died was our Third In Command. He was the one who was in charge of this mission."

The assassin said quickly.

After hearing the assassin's words, Ning Quan suddenly understood.

Ning Quan knew everything about Bixuelou, a killer organization that specialized in assassinations.

Countless people die at their hands every year.

Since the assassin who died was the third in command of the Bixue Tower, it is not surprising that he had such skills.

In addition, Ning Quan understood that he would definitely not be able to find out who was behind the scenes.

It’s not that these four assassins are unwilling to confess, but that they really don’t know.

"Take them all back and interrogate them separately."

Ning Quan thought for a moment and then gave the order.

Regardless of whether you know the truth or not, let’s interrogate him first.

"promise."

Li Cunxiao immediately took the order and ordered the soldiers to carry the four people away.

"Husband, are you okay?"

At this time, Li Wanyue, who got the news, also hurried over and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, my lady, I'm fine."

Ning Quan smiled and waved his hand.

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay. I was so scared."

“How could there be an assassin?”

Li Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief and then asked.

"Haha, I was surprised too."

"But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. Is the assassination different anywhere?"

"I was wondering why I didn't encounter any assassins along the way. It turns out they were waiting for me here."

Ning Quan chuckled.

"Husband, you better be careful next time."

Li Wanyue said worriedly.

"Well, I know, don't worry."

"Your Highness, what should we do with this guy?"

At this time, Xiang Yu stepped forward and asked.

"Search him for any clues, then throw him in a mass grave."

Ning Quan glanced at the corpse and said calmly,

"promise."

Xiang Yu immediately accepted the order.

"Your Highness, it was my fault for allowing the assassin to sneak into the city. I beg Your Highness to punish me."

Zhang Tinggao suddenly knelt down and apologized.

Of course he had to apologize. His Highness was assassinated in Hulun City, and he was responsible.

"Get up, this is none of your business. I brought so many people with me, you can't tell who is who."

Ning Quan shook his head.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness."

Zhang Tinggao stood up, but he was full of guilt.

At this time, Li Jing, Zhang Liao and others also rushed over after hearing the news.

"Your Highness, I am incompetent. Please punish me!"

Everyone knelt on the ground and apologized.

"Everyone, get up! What does this have to do with you? Who could have predicted such an assassination?"

"Alright, everyone go about your own business and don't worry about me."

"Wanyue, let's go back."

Ning Quan said to everyone, and then Wanyue returned to the county government office.

"Ah."

Li Wanyue nodded obediently.

"Your Highness, we have interrogated all four of them. What they said is basically true. We can confirm that they are the killers from the Bixue Tower."

"But they really didn't know who was behind it, they were just following orders."

After returning to the county government office, Li Cunxiao reported.

"Well, that's to be expected."

"In that case, let's deal with all four of them."

Hearing this, Ning Quan said coldly.

"Here."

Li Cunxiao responded and turned to leave.

"Your Highness, it seems you must be careful about your safety from now on."

"If there's a first time, there's a second time. Madam, you should be careful, as there's no guarantee someone won't attack you."

Zhuge Liang reminded from the side.

"Yes, I know."

"General Zhang, General Xiang, from now on, whether this prince or my wife travels, you must always stay by my side."
