Just when Ming Prince Wu Ming felt that he was troubled, an ominous premonition came to his mind. A loud sound broke the silence of the night, and Ming Prince Wu Ming saw an arrow shooting towards his forehead. A soldier on duty saw this scene. He was only a few meters away from Ming Prince and was able to clearly see that Ming Prince was almost assassinated right in front of his eyes. If it weren't for the old servant next to the prince pulling him, most likely the entire allied army would have been blamed for protecting the Royal Family. This soldier on duty was deathly pale, the ghost-like wailing sounds of the arrows were still incessant. All the arrows shot towards Ming Prince, and the soldier on duty finally squeezed out a few words: Protect His Highness Ming Prince! Protect the Ming Prince!

An assassin! Be careful of the assassin! A violent roar sounded.

Sir! Ming Prince Wu Ming suddenly felt someone tugging on his clothes with a huge force, causing his entire body to fall backwards. It just so happened that Sun Xuanqing, who saved him, if it were not for Sun Xuanqing, he would have been shot through the head by the arrow.

This was not an enemy attack, but someone trying to assassinate the prince. Sun Xuanqing whispered into the ears of the Ming Prince Wu Ming. Sun Xuanqing then quickly used his hand to receive the second arrow that was flying towards Ming Prince. Ming Prince Wu Ming looked at it, the arrow was impressively carved with the symbol of the allied army, its arrowhead shining coldly under the moonlight light, which meant that the person who tried to assassinate him tonight was one of the members of the allied army.

With Mister by my side, This King is not afraid.

Your Highness, these people are cultivators. Right now, I'm not sure if there are any other assassins in the army. It's too dangerous for you to stay in the army. Run! Sun Xuanqing quickly took off the Ming Prince Wu Ming's purple cape, took off the black clothes on his body, and draped it over the Ming Prince Wu Ming's body. Sun Xuanqing explained, but his hand still held onto the arrow: This arrow is an arrow shot from the army, there are assassins in the army who want to harm His Highness. For a few days the prince will be able to go out and hide. For a few days he will be able to go to the Changping town, where we passed by when we came here, and then the old man will come to meet him after he has cleaned out the assassins in the army. As Sun Xuanqing spoke, he quickly donned the Ming Prince Wu Ming's purple cape. At the same time that Sun Xuanqing donned the cape, all the arrows that were flying with the Soul Power cultivators all flew towards Sun Xuanqing as soon as he donned the purple cape. Sun Xuanqing no longer reached out to catch the arrows, but these arrows were unable to pierce through his old and wrinkled skin that was as hard as steel. If he wanted to use the arrow to pierce through Sun Xuanqing's body, he would need at least the cultivation of Great National Scholar, and tonight, the archer's cultivation would at most be at the early stage of National Scholar. Just now, Sun Xuanqing had blocked the arrow because he wanted to avoid harming Ming Prince. The current Ming Prince was still too weak. These arrows were useless to him but could easily take the life of the Ming Prince.

After Sun Xuanqing wore the Ming Prince's purple cape, he used his Soul Power to push the Ming Prince to a haystack twenty metres away. It was not that he couldn't say that the Ming Prince had been sent even further than that because he was worried that the Ming Prince would be injured because of this. After pushing away the Ming Prince, the old man used a speed that did not match his own body to quickly leave the Ming Prince Wu Ming's side, flying towards the direction of the arrow.

The Ming Prince Wu Ming found a horse in the darkness and rode towards the direction that Sun Xuanqing pointed to. The cold night wind blew past Ming Prince Wu Ming's face. It had only been a little more than a month since he had left the sword, but he had experienced so much, and had personally witnessed someone losing his life in front of him. This was the first time he felt that he was so close to death. The cold night wind was like a sharp knife that sliced at Ming Prince Wu Ming's face, but he felt that his heart was even colder and more in pain. If not for his master's constant protection, he would have died countless times in the night.

This was the first time Wei Lian appeared to be angry in the army. His white hair seemed to be bulging because of the Soul Power, but he still asked in disbelief: "What?!" Someone had planted a spy to assassinate the Ming Prince in the alliance? How dare they? How dare you plant an assassin in this old man's army?

Li Chang Zai stood in front of Wei Lian, his mouth still slightly raised upwards: Yes, Grand Commandant!

Who is it? Who would be so daring? You dare to assassinate in my army?

Grand Commandant wouldn't kill his own son.

Wei Lian looked at Li Chang Zai, whose mouth was raised. Although Li Chang Zai did not directly give his answer, his answer was obvious: Is it the Empress?

Li Chang Shan lowered his head in silence. Wei Lian looked at him and understood something and asked: You knew about this beforehand?

I didn't want to make things difficult for Grand Commandant, so I made a decision on my own. Li Chang Zai admitted to it.

Could it be that since the Ming Prince died in the army, the allied forces did not need to bear the responsibility of protecting the Royal Family?

When she heard that the Ming Prince was the product of an alien Demon Concubine, the empress had always wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible. When I made my move, I intentionally arranged some people to stay near Ming Prince, so that it would be easier for Ming Prince to leave after he was discovered being assassinated.

Demon Consort of another race? That was just a woman's opinion. The Deng Family has actually set their sights on this old man! Humph! The momentum of the Deng Family had increased in these few years, and there were even a few juniors who had arranged some Deng Family in the army. How could they learn how to march and fight when they were guards and lieutenants? Ming Prince... Is Ming Prince okay?

Ming Prince has an expert by his side. Now that Ming Prince has temporarily left the army and Ming Prince has left the allied army, it is no wonder that he is despicable. These things have nothing to do with Grand Commandant, it will make it easier for us to explain it to the Empress.

These things are for you to do, you have been wronged.

This is His Majesty's family matters, so let this humble one handle these matters. Grand Commandant treats this lowly one like a son, this lowly one is willing to do anything for the Grand Commandant.

"Hmm ?" The Queen must not be offended, and the Ming Prince must not die in our army. You're right, this is a family matter for His Majesty. It's not yet time for me to have a falling out with them. Wei Lian's tone was filled with helplessness and unwillingness, he did not care which prince had obtained the upper hand, the only thing he cared about was Emperor of Great Sheng, this man with unparalleled authority, who had bestowed him with authority and reputation. He did not care which prince would inherit the throne in the future, as the Emperor of Great Sheng was currently in his prime. It was likely that the emperor would still be alive after he died, and only by following the Emperor of Great Sheng would one be able to preserve the honor and status of their clan.
