The prince is very cruel

"If it were me, I'd be nervous too. Just talk it out."

"Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Lou Xinyue."

Lou Xinyue nodded. She was very cold to outsiders.

"Lou Xinyue?!" someone exclaimed, and at least a dozen pairs of eyes widened.

"Master Guan, your wife's name reminds me of someone." Luo Zhongtian smiled bitterly and kept looking at Lou Xinyue, wanting to recognize her but not daring to.

"It's the person you heard of." Guan Ning said with a smile.

boom!

Luo Zhongtian and others stepped back in shock, a cold sweat breaking out on their backs.

"Lou Xinyue, number two on the Jianghu Assassin Rankings?"

"Prince Guan..."

Guan Ning nodded.

In an instant, their scalps went numb and their eyes changed when they looked at Lou Xinyue.

Fortunately, she didn't take action just now. If she had done so, would she be able to kill him?

"It's our fault that we are short-sighted and fail to recognize the heroes of the world!" Luo Zhongtian felt ashamed and bowed again.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "We can't really call ourselves heroes, it's just that we all have a common enemy."

"You're right, Zhao Tai is a thief, hated by both humans and gods!"

"With the two of you joining us in the assassination of Zhao Tai, we'll be even more powerful and sure to win!"

"That's right!" Everyone around was eager to make a move, and felt more confident.

Guan Ning did not refuse, but glanced at the cliff: "How are your preparations going?"

Luo Zhongtian extended his hand and made way for him: "Prince Guan, please come this way."

"We arrived last night and have been preparing for a day. We plan to roll back the boulders and logs tomorrow when Zhao Tai's army passes by, cutting off the enemy army and making it impossible for them to support each other and rescue."

"Then we'll take advantage of the opportunity to set fire to them, disrupt their formation, jump down with ropes, and assassinate them."

"After the matter is completed, leave from the back mountain and go all the way to Sanlai Wharf to take a boat out of the country."

Guan Ning took a look and saw that there were a lot of stones and trees, which could indeed cut off the enemy troops.

"Originally we were worried about whether we could succeed, but now with you two joining us, we feel much more at ease." Luo Zhongtian said with a smile. It can be seen that they are very optimistic.

But at this moment, Guan Ning frowned and looked at Lou Xinyue, as if neither of them was optimistic.

"Brother Luo, forgive me for being blunt, but if we assassinate him this way, the most we can do is kill some of Zhao Tai's close associates. Killing him is not realistic."

"Besides, we might be wiped out."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the ambitious crowd, and their smiles disappeared in an instant.

Luo Zhongtian frowned: "Sir, what do you mean?"

After all, this was no joke, so Guan Ning didn't mince words: "That's too idealistic."

"How do you know that Zhao Tai's chariot will lead the way for the army?"

"How can you ensure that these rolling stones and huge trees will fall where you want them?"

"Even if everything goes well, how can you be sure you can win and escape safely? From what I know, Zhao Tai has at least 40,000 troops on this trip, and he has many experts with him."

Hearing this, their faces looked a little unhappy.

Some upright people complained, "Prince, we came here to eliminate the treacherous ministers and to die for the people. Since we dared to come, we have never thought of going back!"

"You're giving the enemy too much credit by saying that!"

"that is!"

"We respect you as a hero, but we didn't expect you to be such a coward!"

"Humph!"

When Lou Xinyue saw that her man's kind reminder was counterattacked, her beautiful eyes turned cold and she turned into a husband-protecting demon and was about to retort.

But he was stopped by Guan Ning again.

He was not angry, but said with an open mind: "I know that you, the righteous men, are determined to die, but the world is in such a state right now, and people are suffering. If you remain useful, you can still give this world a little hope."

"If you can escape unscathed, why sacrifice yourself heroically?"

Suddenly, the other party was speechless.

Luo Zhongtian cupped his hands and said, "Sir, they have straightforward tempers, please don't bother with them."

"Since you think it's not possible, then may I ask if there is a better way, Your Highness?"

"Although our method is a bit reckless, it is indeed the only way. Once Zhao Tai returns to Guangling City, assassination will be much more difficult."

"That's his base camp. He's extremely cautious. No strangers can appear within a hundred meters. Only his trusted followers can get close to him. There are also various secret signal sentries."
