C20 Men of Sacrifice

Hearing that there was an assassin outside, the First Prince was only slightly startled before he regained his composure.

Seeing that there was no change in Lu Jun's expression, the First Prince was slightly surprised.

One should know that South Marquis's son was famous for being a coward. It was already good enough that he wasn't scared to death by such a big incident, but he seemed even calmer than South Marquis.

"Young Master Lu, are you willing to go out with me to take a look?"

The First Prince purposely wanted to test whether Lu Jun was really brave or just pretending.

Lu Jun nodded and said, "Alright."

"Royal Elder Brother, don't go out... It's too dangerous outside. It's safer in the trunk." little princess heard the loud noises outside and her face turned pale. Seeing that the First Prince wanted to go out, she hurried over to stop him.

The First Prince said, "Yu'er, stay in the carriage and don't come out. It's fine. We will come in later."

The carriage of this carriage was made of black iron and was extremely hard. Even though the Cloud Piercing Arrow was powerful, it was hard to penetrate it.

Swoosh!

As soon as the two of them came out of the carriage, a Cloud Piercing Arrow shot towards them. The First Prince did not dodge or evade, and he caught the arrow like a bolt of lightning. When the Cloudbreaker arrow met with resistance, it would quickly explode. Thus, very few people dared to use their hands to catch it.

Bang!

Sure enough, the Cloud Shattering Arrow exploded in the First Prince's hands, but it was not injured.

Lu Jun also found it strange at first. When he found out that the First Prince was wearing a pair of silver-white gloves, he finally understood the reason.

The First Prince wasn't wearing any ordinary gloves. Instead, he was wearing a protective treasure.

The Mystic Silk Glove was made from the silk that the Skyhill Ice Silkworm spat out, and it had been inscribed with several defensive Inscription by the artificer. It possessed the ability to not fear ice, fire, and sharp blades.

The First Prince threw the Cloud Breaking Arrow that had exploded onto the ground and shouted, "How dare you assassinate me! You must capture this bunch of villains!"

"Yes!"

Under the orders of the First Prince, six guards immediately spread out and went to catch the assassins, leaving only two guards to protect them.

Little princess stuck her head out and glared fiercely at Lu Jun. After that, she complained to the First Prince, "Royal Elder Brother, I told you not to let this detestable person get into the carriage and cause such a big trouble."

Bang!

A Cloud Breaking Arrow exploded beside the carriage door, scaring little princess so much that she quickly hid her head inside.

Lu Jun did not think that these assassins would even dare to attack the First Prince and Princess. It could be seen that their background was not small and that they had great courage. Since that was the case, there was no point in staying here any longer. He immediately decided to find another place to escape.

After taking a few steps, four men in black suddenly appeared from the darkness.

Each of them held a shining sharp knife in their hands, and they threw themselves at Lu Jun with killing intent.

Lu Jun was about to fight to the death when he felt a whirlwind fly past him. Then, he saw the First Prince's figure appear in front of him, fighting with the four assassins in black.

The First Prince was at the sixth level of the Martial Path, and he relied on the protection of the Ice Silkworm Mystic Silk Gloves to attack without any worries.

In just a moment, he had killed three people.

"Who ordered you? Tell me and I'll spare your life." The First Prince pointed at the remaining person and shouted.

Seeing that the situation was bad, that person was so frightened that he immediately turned around and fled. But before he could even take a few steps, the First Prince had caught up. The Ice Silkworm Mystic Silk Gloves had just struck his back when he heard a scream. The man fell to the ground and died.

Seeing that the man was dead, the First Prince turned to Lu Jun and asked, "Young Master Lu, are you alright?"

Lu Jun replied, "I'm fine. Thank you for saving my life."

Although he could use the Hundred Poison Divine Palm to deal with those assassins, since the First Prince had taken the initiative to help him, it was only right for him to express his gratitude.

The First Prince said, "These people are looking down on the law of the country. How dare they kill people in Yan Liang City? They are lawless. As the current First Prince, I am naturally responsible for the safety of the city. This is my duty. There's no need to be polite."

At this moment, they heard the sound of intense fighting coming from nearby.

It was likely that the guards under the First Prince's command had tracked down the hiding place of the cold arrows, which was why they had started fighting.

The six guards that were sent out were at least at the fifth level of the Martial Path, and one of them was an expert at the seventh level of the Martial Path. From the sound of it, even though those archers were all extremely skilled in archery, however, their Martial Path seemed to be slightly inferior, and from time to time, they would hear miserable screams.

After a while, the surroundings returned to normal.

At this time, all the guards had gathered and returned. After the intense battle just now, one of the guards had died. The others had more or less suffered some injuries, but one of them had no injuries all over his body. It was the seventh level martial artist, Tai Zheng.

Tai Zheng reported to the First Prince, "First Prince, the enemy has 14 archers. Twelve of them were killed and two were captured alive. Unfortunately, Gao De was unfortunately killed. "

The First Prince frowned and said, "Bring those two up here."

"Yes!"

Very quickly, the two guards brought a black-clothed man with them. All of them had panicked expressions, and they seemed to be extremely terrified.

The First Prince looked at Lu Jun and said, "Young Master Lu, do you know them?"

Lu Jun replied, "No."

The First Prince nodded and shouted, "How dare you kill people in King City? Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?"

"This..." The two assassins wanted to say something but stopped themselves.

Suddenly, the bodies of the two killers spasmed for a moment before foaming at the mouth. Both of them fell to the ground.

Tai Zheng quickly went up to check and replied, "First Prince, they bit the poison pill that was prepared in advance in their mouth and committed suicide."

This was no longer an ordinary assassin, but a suicide soldier.

Only a suicide soldier would commit suicide after failing the mission in order to not reveal the secret. Of course, they might not really be willing to die, but if they did not die and were forced to confess, their outcome would be even more tragic than death.

As the last two survivors died, the identity of the mastermind would not be known.

"Carry them down!" the First Prince ordered.

Suddenly, the two corpses began to emit black smoke as their bodies began to rot.

The air was filled with a pungent smell, and the First Prince and the others took a few steps back to avoid breathing in the poison gas. The smoke dissipated, and the two corpses were gone.

"What a powerful poison!" the First Prince exclaimed.

Lu Jun said, "The other party thought that this method would allow us to have nowhere to investigate, but they didn't know that they had exposed themselves instead."

The First Prince asked curiously, "Young Master Lu, could it be that you know who the mastermind is?"

Lu Jun said, "This poison is called the Corpse Life Seizing Pill, and it comes from the Five Poisons Sect of Miaoyi. It's not difficult to find out who it is based on this clue."

The First Prince looked at Lu Jun strangely and said, "I didn't expect Young Master Lu to have studied poison as well."

Lu Jun smiled faintly and said, "My father has been fighting with Miaoyi all year round and is familiar with their method of transporting poison. I happened to hear my father mention the name of this poison before, so I remembered it. I didn't do any research on it."

"Young Master Lu, you are too modest."

Lu Jun's words were reasonable, but the First Prince didn't doubt it. He turned to Tai Zheng and said, "Tai Zheng, quickly go and check if there are any disciples of Five Poisons Sect in Yan Liang City."

Tai Zheng thought for a while and said, "First Prince, I heard that Chang Wuming came from the Five Poisons Sect."

"Chang Wuming?"

The expression on the First Prince's face became more and more serious. He squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Zhu Ru!"

Everyone knew that Chang Wuming was the Crown Prince's subordinate. If these assassins were sent by Chang Wuming, the Crown Prince naturally wouldn't be able to escape responsibility. He was afraid that only the Crown Prince would dare to kill someone in King City. It wasn't a secret that the Crown Prince had become enemies with South Marquis and Lu Mansion, so it wasn't strange for him to send someone to assassinate Lu Jun. However, even the First Prince dared to do so. This matter had become much more serious.

Lu Jun was secretly delighted when he saw a trace of killing intent flashing between the First Prince's brows.

The Crown Prince and Chang Wuming had tried to kill him time and time again. Lu Jun naturally hoped to get rid of them as soon as possible to prevent future troubles. If it was because of this matter tonight, it might not be a bad thing to use the First Prince's strength to deal with the Crown Prince.

"Little marquis!"

At this moment, a figure rushed over. It was Uncle Fu, who had come to find him.

Seeing that Lu Jun was safe and sound, a big stone in Uncle Fu's heart finally fell. After that, he walked to the front of the First Prince and kowtowed, "Thank you, First Prince, for saving my young master's life."

Little marquis wasn't a noble title, he was just an honorific in the Lu Mansion. In front of the First Prince, he naturally couldn't be addressed in such a way.

The First Prince said, "You don't have to be polite. I know General Zhou's name. Get up quickly."

When he heard that the First Prince knew his name, Uncle Fu felt a little flattered.

"Thank you, First Prince."

Uncle Fu stood up and carefully sized Lu Jun up. When he saw that ___ didn't have any injuries on his body, he said sentimentally, "What a lucky day. This old servant's heart is about to jump out of my throat. little marquis, have you found out who did this? If this old servant finds out, I will definitely kill all of them. "

Lu Jun said," Those assassins have already been killed by the First Prince's men. Uncle Fu, let's go back and talk about this later. "

"Alright!"

The First Prince said," Although these assassins are dead, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any other assassins along the way. For safety's sake, why don't you let me send you back to the prefecture? "

Uncle Fu said, "How would I dare? We appreciate the First Prince's good intentions. He has caused such a huge ruckus. Everyone in Lu Mansion had already made arrangements along the way to ensure the safety of my young master. I will definitely remember the First Prince's life-saving grace today. "

The First Prince nodded and said, "In that case, I won't be sending you off."

Lu Jun bid farewell to the First Prince, then returned to the prefecture with Uncle Fu.

Sure enough, there was a large number of experts from Lu Mansion along the way. Even Lu Tianshou and the other three leaders had come out personally.

Everyone was extremely worried. In their eyes, Lu Jun was a national treasure, and they couldn't allow anything to happen to him. When they saw that he was safe and sound, all of them were wild with joy, and at the same time, they were amazed.

Under the protection of numerous experts, they smoothly returned to Lu Mansion.

Everyone dispersed.

Lu Tianshou and the other two leaders stayed behind and asked Lu Jun about what had happened. When they found out that it was the Crown Prince's doing, they were extremely furious.

"It really is him!" Lu Tianci gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Lu Tianshou said, "With the Crown Prince making such a big fuss, our Lu Mansion isn't a place to be bullied. Let's go and find South Marquis to discuss our countermeasures. " After that, he turned to Lu Jun and said, "little marquis, when South Marquis found out that something happened to you, he was so anxious that he didn't fall asleep yet. Hurry up and tell him you're safe. "

Lu Jun said, "Just tell him when you go. I still have something to do." After saying that, he left alone.
