Dugu Xiu noticed the anger in Yun Sheng's eyes. His lips curled up, and his smile widened.
When his palm landed, Dugu Xiu suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why was it hard?
It turned out that in a split second, a dazzling golden figure had blocked in front of Dugu Xiu, ruining the mood.
"Tycoon Jin, stop him." Yun Sheng ordered, and Tycoon Jin tangled with Dugu Xiu.
There was another person?
Dugu Xiu had seen clearly that Yun Sheng and her accomplice were only two people.
He didn't sense the aura of a third person.
Where did this person come from?
Dugu Xiu didn't know that Tycoon Jin wasn't even human, so how could he have any aura?
Tonight was a coincidence. Yun Sheng and Abandon used the identity of Hunter's Guild guards to patrol Dong Zhao Temple. After finding out where Ling 'er's house was, they planned to investigate it secretly.
Who knew that they would bump into Gufeng and Dugu Xiu.
In a hurry, Yun Sheng and Abandon could only take the risk of a night attack to lure Dugu Xiu out.
Yun Sheng had been warned by Ye Beiming earlier, so she had been careful.
She knew that it would be difficult for her and Abandon to save Ling 'er and Gufeng, so she ordered Tycoon Jin to hide in the dark. Once they confronted Dugu Xiu, they would catch him off guard and attack him.
However, Yun Sheng didn't expect that the other party would see through her and Dugu Xiu's identities.
When Dugu Xiu saw that Tycoon Jin had ruined his plans, he was enraged. He wanted nothing more than to split this Assassin in half with a single palm strike.
Since the other party wasn't Yun Sheng, he wouldn't be merciful. His attacks immediately changed, and he attacked Tycoon Jin's vital points.
He thought that he could kill the other party in a few moves.
Who knew that after exchanging a few moves, Dugu Xiu suddenly realized that this "bodyguard" with a blurred face and a strange robe was very difficult to deal with.
Moreover, even if his opponent was swept by his Dou Qi, he would be able to recover quickly.
Dugu Xiu was entangled with Tycoon Jin. How could the guards on the ground be a match for Yun Sheng and Abandon? The two of them were like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, killing many guards.
When Qi saw that Madame Chi Bi was holding Ling 'er hostage, he ordered her to hand her over.
Madam Chi Bi covered her mouth and chuckled, "If you want to save someone, you have to get past me first."
A crimson red snake slithered out from her sleeves and pierced towards Abandon's wrist like an arrow.
The crimson snake was extremely fast and its teeth contained a strong poison. Even if a Martial Sage was bitten, his entire body would immediately fester and turn into a puddle of rotten water.
Madam Chi Bi had already used this method to kill quite a few enemies. She originally thought that once she bit down, that male mage assassin would definitely fall to the ground and die.
Who would have thought that the other party was completely undecided. The scarlet snake bit his hand, and the latter reached out with his finger and caught the small snake in his hand.
"Courting death." A cold glint flashed past the eyes of the male mage. The small crimson snake was clamped into two by him.
Madam Chi Bi was so scared that she retreated a few steps.
Using this chance, Abandon snatched Ling 'er over.
On the other side, Yun Sheng had already saved Gufeng.
The courtyard was brightly lit, and many archers holding heavy crossbows were on standby, aiming at Yun Sheng and the others.
These archers were all personally trained by Dugu Xiu. Their bows and arrows were specially made with the bones of demonic beasts, and the arrowheads of each arrow were coated with poison.
As long as Dugu Xiu gave the order, these archers would immediately turn into a hornet's nest.
They were the best tools to kill assassins.
However, Dugu Xiu didn't give the order. Even when the four of them disappeared in the fluctuation of magic, the archers could only wait.
"Crown Prince, why did you let that assassin go?" Madam Chi Bi was extremely anxious. He could obviously kill those assassins, so why didn't he give the order?
Also, when he was fighting with that thin and weak mage just now, why did the crown prince suddenly retreat?
Madam Chi Bi knew Dugu Xiu's skills the best. That assassin just now, although his magic was a bit tricky, with Dugu Xiu's current strength, it was enough for him to capture the assassin within three moves.
Moreover, Dugu Xiu also let people save Donghuang Ling 'er.
This was completely unlike Dugu Xiu's style of doing things.
Dugu Xiu remained silent, and his gaze was still fixed on the place where the four of them disappeared.
"Send people to seal off the news. No one is allowed to spread the news of the princess going missing." Dugu Xiu's eyes couldn't help but be covered with a thick layer of darkness.
"Does Donghuang Ling 'er still have the snake parasite that you planted in her body?" Dugu Xiu asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, as long as this slave activates the snake parasite, she will listen to my control. Crown Prince, are we going to kill those assassins who don't know what's good for them? " Just now, Madam Chi Bi didn't go head to head with those mages, because she was confident in finding Donghuang Ling 'er.
"Immediately send people to find the Left Prime Minister." Dugu Xiu noticed that Yun Sheng and the others were very familiar with the layout of the temple.
Moreover, the timing of Yun Sheng's appearance tonight was too coincidental.
Yun Sheng was a citizen of Zhou State, so it was impossible for her to be so familiar with the Dongzhao Temple in the Eastern Capital. Someone must have cooperated with her from the inside.
After the Left Prime Minister got the news, he climbed down from the bed of his favorite concubine and hurried over.
"Your Highness, I heard that there were assassins?"
"Who set up the defense of the Dongzhao Temple?" Dugu Xiu was sure that Yun Sheng and the others were definitely still in the Eastern Capital.
"The Right Prime Minister invited people from the Hunter's Guild to set up the defense. Your Highness, you suspect that the assassins tonight were done by the Right Prime Minister and the Hunter's Guild." After the Left Prime Minister heard this, he hurriedly sent people to investigate.
"These damn assassins are really bold. They even dared to kidnap the princess. Your Highness, don't worry. Even if I have to turn the whole Eastern Capital upside down, I will catch these assassins and cut them into pieces," the Left Prime Minister vowed solemnly.
He had thought that the princess's marriage was already settled. Who would have thought that a group of assassins would appear halfway?
"Don't hurt them. I want them alive." Dugu Xiu's words surprised the Left Prime Minister and Madam Chi Bi.
Madam Chi Bi and the Left Prime Minister looked at each other.
This was not like the Dark Crown Prince's style. It should be known that anyone who offended the Dark Crown Prince would end up in a miserable state.
Especially the assassins. The last assassin who tried to assassinate Dugu Xiu was cut into pieces and fed to the demon beasts.
Or could it be that this group of people had some special background?
However, the Left Prime Minister did not dare to ask Dugu Xiu even if he had ten times the courage of a leopard.
The Left Prime Minister searched the whole city that night. Neither the Right Prime Minister's Mansion nor the Hunter's Guild found any news about the princess, Gufeng, and the others.
Those people seemed to have disappeared from the world. There was no trace of them in the inns, restaurants, or houses.
The Left Prime Minister had no choice but to secretly release the news and order the whole city to be locked down. They had to find the princess and the others within three days, which was the time for bathing and burning incense.
