The fight outside the door was in full swing, six men in black rushed in through the window, and killed Xiao Rui and the others.

Two people killed Xiao Rui, two people killed Yan Linglong, and the other two were Du Juan and Xiao Feng.

The seemingly reasonable assassination structure made Xiao Rui frowned. Of course, he couldn't care less about thinking so much now. When two second-rank assassins approached him, he quickly pulled out the dagger at his waist and started to deal with it.

Assassins are worthy of being masters of assassination, their methods are cruel and insidious, even at the expense of death, this is no longer an assassin, but a dead man. Fortunately, Xiao Rui had broken through to the second-rank realm, otherwise he would have died immediately, and even so, he would have been injured in just one round.

Yan Linglong's situation is not good either, she was also injured by the attack of two dead soldiers, she is also at the second rank, but she is a girl after all.

Du Juan's situation was better, barely coping with an assassin.

Xiao Feng didn't panic even more, an assassin couldn't hurt him.

Seeing that he was invincible, Xiao Rui made a false move and went out through the window. It is more dangerous to stay in the house, Yan Linglong also understood this, and immediately broke out of the window.

In the courtyard outside the house, the heavy rain poured down on Baiyun Mountain and the fifth-rank assassins fought more intensely. Wu Zhanfa was entangled by a fourth-rank assassin, and the other assassins were surrounded by the forbidden army.

Seeing that Xiao Rui and Yan Linglong came out through the window and they were safe and sound, Bai Yunshan roared angrily: "Protect the princess and King Xian!"

Only then did the forbidden army react, and immediately protected Xiao Rui and Yan Linglong, and stopped besieging and killing the assassins.

Seeing that the assassination was hopeless, the fifth-rank assassin immediately wanted to escape, so he pretended to attack Yan Linglong in order to assassinate Yan Linglong, and immediately deceived Baiyun Mountain, and fled outside with a feint.

Baiyun Mountain didn't go after him, and it was basically impossible for him to keep the fifth-rank master who had made up his mind.

But leaving other assassins behind is a piece of cake.

So as Baiyun Mountain led people to encircle and suppress, all other assassins were killed.

The heavy rain washed away the blood, staining the pool water in the entire courtyard red.

Bai Yunshan knelt in front of Yan Linglong and Du Juan, and said: "The last general is not doing enough to protect me, I implore Your Highness to punish him."

Because Xiao Feng was still there, Yan Linglong didn't reveal her identity, but Du Juan said: "Thanks to the commander, otherwise his life would be in danger. Who would have thought that these assassins would be so cunning, they would take advantage of the heavy rain to strike, what do you think, King Xian Your Highness?"

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "This matter is because our Great Xia didn't protect well, and even let the assassin sneak in, which surprised Her Royal Highness. Don't worry, the identity of the assassin will be found out, and the fifth-rank assassin who escaped will be caught." .”

Du Juan nodded and said, "Your Highness is also injured, please treat him quickly."

Xiao Rui was stabbed, and Yan Linglong was also stabbed. Fortunately, the assassin didn't apply poison, otherwise he would have died. Thinking about it now, it's really a blessing in misfortune.

After Xiao Rui was bandaged up, Zhang Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei who came after hearing the news, ordered someone to check the assassin's body, and finally reported to Xiao Ruihui: "Your Highness, these assassins were sent by the Great Zhao Kingdom. The one who escaped should It is Cao Lu, the Assassin King of Great Zhao Kingdom!"

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "Okay, then I will trouble Mr. Zhang to search the whole city and find him! Every day he is in the capital is a day of danger. If he sneaks into the palace to assassinate His Majesty, what should we do?"

Zhang Yu also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will personally lead people to search, and I will do it now."

After Zhang Yu left, Xiao Rui went to find Yan Linglong.

She also bandaged her wound and was drinking tea alone in the house.

"How is Your Highness injured?" Yan Linglong asked.

Xiao Rui raised his arm and said, "I got stabbed, I'm glad the other party didn't poison the knife."

Yan Linglong froze while drinking tea, then put down the teacup, and said, "Fortunately, the assassin is not as vicious as His Highness, otherwise today would be our memorial day."

"That's right, going to hell together is a pair of wild mandarin ducks." Xiao Rui said casually.

Yan Linglong glared at him, and finally began to ask: "His Royal Highness, what are you doing with your fourth brother? Are you deliberately playing tricks on me?"

Xiao Rui shook his hands quickly, and said: "This has nothing to do with me directly, I am only responsible for helping, who told you to pretend to be a female officer, and you are so beautiful."

"But the assassins seem to know my true identity!" Yan Linglong said suddenly.

Xiao Rui was silent, yes, the assassins knew it! During the assassination just now, two assassins assassinated Xiao Rui. He was serving as an envoy, which is understandable, but why did two assassins come to Yan Linglong instead of Du Juan?

"His Royal Highness has come to the capital, pretending to be a female official. There are very few people in my Great Xia Kingdom who know your true identity, so is it because the gangsters around Your Highness colluded with the Zhao assassin? So the assassin knows your true identity?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Linglong said: "It's also possible! After all, I don't dare to confirm whether there are other black hands in the mission. In addition, I see His Highness is frowning, seems to have something on his mind?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Of course I have something on my mind. I can't guarantee the safety of the princess. It's like a sword hanging above my head. I can't sleep or eat well."

Seeing that he was unwilling to tell the truth, Yan Linglong stopped asking, and said: "After this incident, I expect the assassin to calm down for a while. I want to complete the alliance as soon as possible and return as soon as possible."

"Okay! I will enter the palace tonight and report the matter to my father, and we will try to complete all the procedures for the alliance within five days." Xiao Rui agreed.

Afterwards, the two chatted a few more words before Xiao Rui left.

Wu Zhanfa was seriously injured, so he was left in another courtyard to rest. Wei Guang drove and escorted Xiao Rui back to the mansion under the protection of the forbidden army.

Recalling all the details of the assassination in the afternoon in his mind, Xiao Rui's closed and contemplative eyes suddenly opened.

"Do you have any questions? Am I suspicious, or are you really hiding something?" Xiao Rui muttered to himself, and then said to Wei Guang: "There is no need to go back to the mansion, just go directly to the palace."

Xiao Rui went to the palace to face the saint, and Emperor Xia summoned him.

Emperor Xia was drinking tea in Nuan Pavilion, when he saw Xiao Rui coming in, he waved his hand and said, "Come, sit down, there is no need to salute."

Xiao Rui walked over and sat opposite Xia Huang, and Hai Dafu made tea for him.

"How is the injury?" Emperor Xia glanced at Xiao Rui's arm.

Xiao Rui said: "My father is worried, my son is fine, just some minor injuries. My son came here to report to my father some key points of work discussed with Dayan's envoy today."

"Oh, I heard from King Jin that he just left not long ago." Emperor Xia laughed.

Xiao Rui: ...

Xiao Lie's rush attack is in place, is it necessary? You are the deputy envoy, no matter how much credit you give, it will not be your turn.

"Your idea of ​​having trade relations is a blessing to the Great Xia Kingdom. Ore is far better than a few million taels! It seems that it is the right choice for me to let you take charge of this matter." Xia Huang said.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "It's my father who taught me well."

Emperor Xia said: "Among you brothers, you are the first to start training in major national affairs. I was still worried that you would not be able to grasp it. Now it seems that I have underestimated you. Next, I will give you a few more Add burden."

"This is the responsibility that a prince should do." Xiao Rui said respectfully.

Xia Huangdao: "Continue to discuss with Dayan according to your ideas. Since you have been given decision-making power, you can use it well."

"My son understands." Xiao Rui replied, and then he left the palace.

Seeing that he was about to arrive home, Xiao Rui suddenly received another task from the system.

"Ding dong, the new task is open."

"New task: kill Zhao Lu, the king of assassination, complete the descending value +20, time: 5 days. If the task fails, let Cao Lu come to you for a private chat."

"Current advent value: 60/100."

Xiao Rui's sleepy eyes opened instantly.
