C29 Night Assault Inn

When night fell, Gu Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep. The day had been too exhausting for her. However, the Qi King was tossing and turning in his bed, unable to fall asleep. His heart was filled with the events of today's assassination.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly heard a slight rustling sound. Could it be because of what happened today that it felt strange to hear anything that happened …?

Sighing, the Qi King turned around and decided to take a good rest.

The sleeping Gu Xiaoxiao was much quieter than usual, but the sounds from outside could not escape her ears.

After being an assassin for so many years, Gu Xiaoxiao was very sensitive to such voices. She was even certain that there was someone with excellent martial arts skills outside.

From the sound they made as they walked, one could tell they were definitely extraordinary martial artists.

"Could it be that the group that tried to assassinate the Qi King is here again?" Besides the Qi King, she couldn't think of anyone else who could alert an expert of this level.

After all, Mu Zhaoyang was an idle prince. It was unlikely that anyone would want his life.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed into Gu Xiaoxiao's room. Gu Xiaoxiao cried out in alarm, but before she could even make a sound, that person had already covered her mouth.

Gu Xiaoxiao was furious. She already knew who had come, but she was still tricked?

"Just who are you!"

The person behind him laughed and asked, "It looks like you already knew there was an assassin outside." As he spoke, the man also lowered his hand.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked back and saw Mu Zhaoyang.

"It seems like even the Yi King knows. Right now, the most dangerous person is His Highness the Qi King. Why would the Yi King come to my place?"

Mu Zhaoyang snorted coldly. These princes in the capital had always cared about their lives. Who knew how many hidden guards there were? Today, the Qi King's illness had flared up and he was still able to escape from the hands of those people. It could be seen that the hidden guards he raised were all extraordinary.

When Gu Xiaoxiao saw that Mu Zhaoyang did not react, she became anxious. The Qi King was the only card in her hand right now. She could not let the Qi King suffer any harm.

"Prince Qi is your nephew, why don't you go visit him?"

With that, Gu Xiaoxiao crouched down and slowly made her way to the door. Mu Zhaoyang sighed. Although he was a little unwilling, he could only move slowly behind her.

When had he, the dignified King Yi, ever done such a covert thing?

Gu Xiaoxiao was alert, but she didn't expect to attract the attention of the group of assassins. For a moment, the inn was in chaos.

As soon as the Qi King fell asleep, he was woken up by all sorts of noises. As he opened his sleepy eyes, he knew that he had been ambushed again.

The group of Dark Guards that he raised were also fighting with those assassins. The ears of the Qi King were already filled with the sounds of fighting and wailing.

In the end, the secret guards were still unable to defeat the assassins who had already made plans beforehand. The assassins all broke through the window and entered the Qi King's room.

Looking at the ferocious expressions on their faces, the Qi King felt a chill run down his spine. This was the first time he felt that death was so close to him.

"Just who are you? Who gave you the order to dare to harm me so many times?"

The group of people had no intention of paying any attention to the Qi King. Their current situation was extremely good. As long as they could kill this prince in front of them, that would be enough.

The Qi King was already prepared to resist, but because he had just recovered, his physical strength was still unable to keep up.

In the end, during the fight, the Qi King was stabbed. At this moment, Gu Xiao and Mu Zhaoyang finally arrived. They saw the situation before them and did not dare to delay any further.

Seeing Mu Zhaoyang, the Qi King felt as if he had seen his savior. Mu Zhaoyang's martial arts were famous in the Subordinate Country. Who didn't know that the idle prince Yi was actually a martial arts fanatic?

"Royal Uncle, you've finally come." The Qi King was excited, but he ignored the assassins.

Gu Xiaoxiao was a bit annoyed. When small talk wouldn't work, but when there was such a dangerous time. She shouted "Be careful!" at the Qi King, but he didn't respond at all, as if he was deaf.

Gu Xiaoxiao took three steps forward and ran in front of him. Just like that, the knife that was going to stab into the Qi King's heart now stabbed straight into Gu Xiaoxiao's arm.

Looking at her arm, Gu Xiaoxiao sucked in a breath of cold air. Although she had been wounded in all sorts of ways in her previous life, the pain this time was unbearable.

Mu Zhaoyang had also witnessed what had happened. His hand speed increased and he did not dare to delay any longer.

The assassins seemed to have recognized Mu Zhaoyang as well. They were a little unwilling as to why Mu Zhaoyang was suddenly mixed up with the Qi King.

The lead assassin noticed that the situation was getting worse and worse. If this went on, let alone taking the life of the Qi King, they would probably die here today. He glared fiercely at Mu Zhaoyang and said, "Retreat!"

Seeing that the assassins were gone, the king of Qi was relieved. Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao's bleeding arm, he quickly helped her to a chair and ordered the guard to find a doctor to apply the medicine for her.

"Miss Gu, it's all thanks to you today. Otherwise, I might have died here."

Gu Xiaoxiao waved her hand. She had no mood to listen to what the Qi King had to say about government affairs. " "We should thank His Highness King Xie Yi. Those assassins all have top-notch martial arts. If it were just the two of us, how would we have been able to chase them away?"

Hearing the word 'assassin', the Qi King threw the teacup in his hand onto the ground. "Who is the one that isn't afraid of death? How dare he provoke us again and again."

"The purpose of this group of people is too obvious. They are obviously trying to take your life." Before investigating this power, you should be careful, don't fall into their trap. "

The Qi King sighed. In a few days' time, he would have to follow the emperor south. He wasn't worried about these people making a move, but this matter still needed to be investigated.

"In a few days, I will follow royal father to the south. I really don't have time to investigate this matter in the capital. If Miss Gu and Uncle Huang are willing, then help me investigate. When I return to the capital, I will definitely be greatly rewarded. "

"Must you pay me back for this?" Gu Xiaoxiao's expression was full of amusement. She hadn't thought that the Qi King would ask her to investigate this matter together.

The Qi King nodded. He'd always thought that Gu Xiaoxiao was a silly little girl, but from what had happened tonight, she could be considered an expert.

"As long as the two of you are willing to help, This King will try his best to fulfill any request."

Gu Xiaoxiao was tempted by the attractive conditions. After teleporting over, she didn't even have a weapon she wanted. Since the Qi King had already spoken, she felt too embarrassed to refuse again. She might as well make use of this opportunity to make good use of him.
