The wind assisted the fire, which kept approaching everyone. Without any time to delay, Emperor An Xi shouted and rushed towards the east first.
As soon as he emerged from the woods, Emperor An Xi's expression darkened. As he expected, the enemy had already opened his pockets here. Twenty assassins masked in black scarves were already ready.
These assassins are by no means simple. They are all at the fourth level of cultivation. The leading assassin wearing a purple scarf has reached the peak of the fifth level and can be regarded as a first-class master in the Tianyun Empire.
With a sea of fire behind them and twenty powerful assassins with murderous intent in front of them, Emperor An Xi and his party were instantly put in a desperate situation. [
"You are so brave!" Princess Anqin shouted loudly, stalling for time while thinking hard, hoping to come up with a safe way to escape.
"Hmph... My Princess Anqin, after reaching this point, why are you still so angry?" The purple-turbaned assassin sneered again and again.
"Take off your purple scarf and let me see who you are!" Emperor An Xi was in danger, but he was not at all confused and his majesty remained the same.
"At this point, I don't think there's any need to hide it. If you want to see it, then go ahead and see it." The purple-turbaned assassin was happy and took off the purple scarf directly.
Seeing the purple-turbaned assassin's face clearly, Emperor An Xi frowned immediately, snorted coldly, and said, "My guess is indeed right!"
"Trek!? You...how do you have the courage to assassinate the current emperor!?" Du Yong suddenly became excited, waving the sword in his hand, wanting to rush forward and chop him with one sword.
"Needless to say, Tu Zexin must have given him the courage." Princess Anqin sneered.
Cui Ke, the deputy commander of Qianlong Guard, is one of Tu Zexin's two closest confidants. Since its establishment, Qianlongwei has regarded the Golden Warrior as its mortal enemy. Cui Ke and Du Yong are both deputy commanders, and they are even more rivals with each other. They can be called old enemies.
Cui Ke was a man of high cultivation and deep scheming. He was a very difficult master to deal with. Du Yong suffered a lot from him. But even though Du Yong hated Cui Ke in his heart, he never thought that Cui Ke would have the courage to assassinate Emperor An Xi. At this time, he was filled with shock and anger.
"So what? The Imperial Master is talented and full of strategies. He is the best choice for the emperor. He is many times better than you, An Xi. If I were you, I would give up the throne to the Imperial Master early. People, lest the country be humiliated and the people suffer due to their own incompetence." Cui Ke seemed to have convinced Emperor An Xi, and he spoke frankly about everything. And this is indeed the case. Even though Emperor An Xi's teeth were filled with hatred due to Cui Ke's words, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Trick, do you really want to kill the king, bear this eternal infamy, and be despised by the world?" Princess Anqin shouted.
"The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit! Whoever wants to bear the infamy of the ages depends on how history writes it."
"You... you despicable villain!" Princess Anqin was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Cui Ke smiled coldly, looked at Emperor An Xi and said, "You are the king of a country. I can leave you some dignity and allow you to commit suicide!"
"Trick, I think you are crazy! As long as I, Du Yong, am here, you can't even think of hurting His Majesty!" Hearing Trek's rebellious words, Du Yong couldn't hold back anymore and shouted sharply, holding the sword in his hand. Thousands of cold lights, like stars in the night sky, headed towards Trixa.
