Chapter 491 Blocking the Knife
The assassin rushed toward Prince Jing.
"Protect the prince!"
"Protect the prince!"
Upon hearing the call, Jing Wang's men rushed towards Jing Wang's location like madmen, but unfortunately, some of them were entangled by the surrounding assassins.
"Protect the prince!"
"Stop them!"
......
One side desperately tried to protect Prince Jing as he fled, while the other side used every trick in the book to try and keep him there.
The two sides clashed so fiercely that the sky darkened as soon as they opened fire.
Inside the tent, the two guards who had been able to keep a steady eye on the situation outside were starting to get restless.
They are people who live on the edge, risking their lives, and it's clear that the current situation is very unfavorable for Prince Jing.
One of the guards suddenly turned to look at Cheng Wan, who had her eyes closed, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Take Marquis Zhaoping with us, let's go meet up with the Prince!"
The other guard nodded almost immediately.
The prince was being escorted outwards, while they remained here to guard Marquis Zhaoping, offering no assistance to the prince who was now in danger.
Moreover, if an assassin were to come this way, it would be difficult for the two of them to protect the life of Marquis Zhaoping.
It would be better to take Marquis Zhaoping with you to meet up with the Prince.
Firstly, it could help protect the prince; secondly, it fulfilled the prince's task of keeping a close watch on Marquis Zhaoping; and thirdly, in case of emergency, it could even be used to shield the prince from harm.
The two acted immediately. One continued to closely observe the situation outside, while the other quickly returned to Cheng Wan's side, picked her up, and carried her on his shoulder.
This person was preoccupied with Prince Jing and resented Cheng Wan for delaying things, so his actions were very rough, almost causing Cheng Wan, who was pretending to be asleep, to groan in pain.
Yes, Cheng Wan was pretending to be asleep.
Jin Jin had already woken Cheng Wan up when the assassins attacked the camp.
After Cheng Wan regained consciousness, she listened to Jin Jin describe what had happened outside.
An assassin? Coming to Prince Jing?
If Cheng Wan hadn't been pretending to be asleep and unable to move, she would have adopted a contemplative posture: Who could it be?
Things are getting really interesting.
In fact, it is not easy for a person who is fully conscious to pretend to be completely asleep, especially since Cheng Wan is currently being carried on someone's shoulder by a bodyguard who is very knowledgeable about the human body.
If this bodyguard hadn't been focused on the approaching Prince Jing, he probably would have already noticed that Cheng Wan was acting strangely.
It was precisely because the attention of this bodyguard and the bodyguard next to him was elsewhere that Cheng Wan had the opportunity to "stir things up".
"Jinjin, I need a small knife."
In the darkness, unseen by anyone, a small knife appeared in Cheng Wan's left hand.
Cheng Wan was being carried, her body swaying uncontrollably, and her right wrist was fractured.
In order not to hurt herself, Cheng Wan could only use her left hand to carefully and single-mindedly control the knife to cut the rope tied to her wrist.
Jin Jin was on guard for Cheng Wan from every angle.
In a fleeting moment, Cheng Wan's wrist was finally freed.
Cheng Wan lowered her head, gripped the rope tightly, and swayed it slightly, pouting as she whined to Jin Jin, "Jin Jin, it hurts so much~"
Jin Jin was heartbroken and was about to gently comfort Cheng Wan when her voice suddenly cracked: "He's going to throw Master out to take the knife! Be careful, ahhhhh!"
Before Cheng Wan could react, she felt as if she had been thrown into the air.
"Holy shit...!"
Cheng Wan couldn't help but swear. Just as she was about to collide with the knife, she used all her strength to twist her body and kicked her legs hard, saving her life in time.
Cheng Wan rolled several times on the ground before regaining her balance. She picked up a large knife and decisively cut the rope binding her ankles.
"call!"
Cheng Wan, her body aching all over, got up from the ground and instinctively looked in the direction where she had been thrown.
“Master, you were thrown out just now to shield Prince Jing from the knife; otherwise, Prince Jing would already be wounded.”
well.
Cheng Wan smiled, gritted her teeth, and then charged towards Prince Jing with the knife in her left hand.
"Stop her!"
Still shaken, Prince Jing saw Cheng Wan charging towards him with murderous intent, sword in hand, and immediately shouted an order.
But where would they find the manpower to stop Cheng Wan?
If there were enough people, that guard would never have done something like throwing Cheng Wan out to shield Prince Jing from a knife attack.
After all, they were well aware of how much Prince Jing valued Cheng Wan.
Thus, amidst the jubilation of the assassins and the grim expressions of Prince Jing, Cheng Wan was getting closer and closer to Prince Jing.
But then, something unexpected happened.
Cheng Wan suddenly swung her knife down at the assassin.
Cheng Wan didn't come to kill Prince Jing; she came to help protect him!
Cheng Wan's action greatly surprised Prince Jing; he never expected that Cheng Wan would actually help him.
However, Prince Jing quickly figured out the key point.
He was a prince, the emperor's son, his own son, while Cheng Wan was the emperor's subject.
Therefore, no matter how much Cheng Wan hated him in her heart, she dared not "stand by and watch him die".
Having figured this out, Prince Jing took a deep look at Cheng Wan, who was bravely fighting the enemy.
At that moment, he was certain that Cheng Wan was a loyal subject.
The loyal minister Cheng Wan had no idea what Prince Jing was thinking. If she had known, she would have given Prince Jing a big thumbs up.
That's right, Prince Jing is absolutely right.
If it weren't for the fact that Prince Jing was the emperor's own son, Cheng Wan would have been out of her mind to risk her life to join this deadly fight.
Cheng Wan wouldn't dare!
Cheng Wan dared not gamble. If she survived tonight's events, but something happened to Prince Jing, would the Emperor take his anger out on her?
Don't say anything about what she has to do with Prince Jing's attack. She was kidnapped by Prince Jing's men.
If her son gets into trouble, will his father be able to listen to her reasoning rationally and calmly?
What's more, this father is the emperor, the supreme ruler.
They could make harmless jokes with the emperor to amuse him. They could even act out or "throw a tantrum" in front of the emperor to achieve their goals.
But that was all because the emperor's own power and interests were not harmed, so the emperor could sit on the dragon throne and listen to her speak.
If something were to happen to Prince Jing, then...
Cheng Wan was panting heavily as she desperately fought off the assassin in front of her.
She was already injured, and quite badly so. After all that ordeal, it was a miracle she didn't collapse.
Although he had practiced using the knife with his left hand, it was not as comfortable as using his right hand, and his combat effectiveness plummeted.
All Cheng Wan can do now is try her best to block two or three assassins. It's impossible for her to dominate the field and carry the team like before.
"My lord, be careful!"
"Zheng'er!"
What's real and what's fake?
After Cheng Wan dealt with one of the assassins, she glanced back and saw the doctor who had treated her earlier being dragged along by Prince Jing and forced to take a knife for him.
