Chapter 913: Choices, different from other couples
Whether Xiao Tianyao was a man or a god, no matter how powerful he was, no matter how high his force value was, there was a limit. One against five was barely enough, and he had no spare strength to deal with other assassins.
Except for the personal guards brought by Xiao Tianyao, the rest of the people have no martial arts skills at all. Lin Chujiu was a little better, but her strength was only good at facing ordinary people. She also has no power to fight back against assassins with high martial arts skills.
In this case, Xiao Tianyao was still at a disadvantage with one against five. Lin Chujiu and the young prince fell into the hands of the assassins, dragging Xiao Tianyao back.
The assassin didn't want their lives. After taking down Lin Chujiu and the young prince, the assassin put away his offensive and said to Xiao Tianyao, "Xiao Wangye of Eastern Country, if I were you, I would give up without a fight, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties."
To prove his words, the killer put the knife on the necks of Lin Chujiu and the young prince, and pressed two inches inward, and a bloodstain appeared on their necks instantly.
The knife cut through the skin, and there was a muffled "poof". The tingling pain made the young prince furious: "Presumptuous, I am Xuanyuan Yu, the Seventh Prince of the Central Empire, you dare to hurt me."
“Idiot!” Xiao Tianyao cursed as soon as the young prince’s identity was revealed.
The young prince was upset, but before he could speak, the assassin laughed loudly: "It turns out that there is a prince from the Central Empire among you. That's great, a big fish was caught."
"What? You don't know my identity?" The young prince Xuanyuan Yu was stunned.
Didn't they come for him? So why they don't know his identity?
"We now know your identity. With the young prince of the Central Empire here, the emperor is willing to bleed." The assassin laughed triumphantly as if mocking Xuanyuan Yu's IQ.
"Don't you want money? Didn't you come to kill us?" These people didn't come after him. Xiao Tianyao's reputation in the Central Empire was greater than his, and Xuanyuan Yu felt that his self-esteem had been hurt.
"Kill you? Why should I kill you? Your Highness, did you think that we came here to take Xiao Wangye's and everyone's lives? Why do I want your lives? What use is it to us? Your Highness, are you a pig brain? You can’t figure out such a simple question?” The assassin still had a mocking tone, looking at Xuanyuan Yu with disdain, as if he disliked his stupidity.
"Bold, I am the prince of the Central Empire, how dare you insult me?" As the young prince of the Central Empire, how has he ever been insulted like this? Even if Xiao Tianyao didn't take him seriously, he would not dare to insult him.
These assassins deserve to die!
*Pa-* The assassin didn't take the young prince seriously at all, and slapped him: "So what if you are the prince of the Central Empire? If you fall into the enemy's hands, you have to be obedient. Otherwise, I'll sell you to the enemy country, let's see if you can still act like a big-shot prince."
The young prince was beaten so much that his head was turned away. His cheeks were instantly red and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. He immediately looked at the assassin with hatred. Seeing this, the assassin raised his hand and was about to slap him again, but before he could slap him, he was stopped by Xiao Tianyao: "That's enough. Since you are looking for money, don't hurt him. If he dies or becomes disabled, you won't get anything."
"Hmph…" The assassin snorted coldly and retracted his hand: "This is quite reasonable. For the sake of Xiao Wangye's face, I will let him go for the time being."
"I won't be grateful to you." The young prince pretended to be tough when he was beaten in front of his subordinate and rescued by the prince of a subordinate country. After all, this event greatly hurt his self-esteem.
Without even looking at him, Xiao Tianyao said to the assassin: "What do you want?"
“Of course, I want you to surrender, Xiao Wangye.” The assassin repeated, looking confident.
"If you want money, there must be someone who goes out to raise money for you." Xiao Tianyao tried to bargain with the assassin, but the assassin completely ignored him: "No need, with you and the little prince of the Central Empire here, the Central Empire will naturally pay to redeem you. Xiao Wangye, obediently swallow this pill and follow us, otherwise… I can't guarantee if your wangfei will be missing arms or legs."
The assassin's knife was resting on Lin Chujiu's arm as if he would cut it off immediately if Xiao Tianyao refused.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine." After being caught by the assassin, Lin Chujiu doesn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Even if the blade was cut on her arm at this moment, she never frowned, never cried, and asked Xiao Tianyao to save him. There was no trace of fear or uneasiness on her face. She simply looked at Xiao Tianyao calmly. There was no pleading or uneasiness in her eyes, only fearlessness!
It was not that she didn't care or didn't worry, that's why she was fearless. But no matter what decision Xiao Tianyao makes, she can face fearlessness.
Seeing Lin Chujiu who was calm and self-restraining, the young prince, Xuanyuan Yu blushed instantly.
Compared to Lin Chujiu's calmness, he was like a child who hadn't grown up yet, crying and fussing, so ignorant.
The young prince took a deep breath, reflected on his behavior, tried his best to ignore the pain on his face, kept calm, and looked at Xiao Tianyao calmly like Lin Chujiu. He didn't interfere with his decision and did not cry and beg Xiao Tianyao for help.
He knew that there was no point in crying at this time. If Xiao Tianyao could save them, he would have saved them long ago.
"What kind of medicine is this?" Xiao Tianyao didn't take the medicine, nor refused.
"Don't worry, it's just temporarily making you lose your fighting power. Your strength makes us have to guard against it." The assassin glanced at the five martial saints in front of Xiao Tianyao, and his meaning was very clear.
They dispatched five martial sages, but they couldn't take Xiao Tianyao down. It can be seen how difficult Xiao Tianyao was. If he is not restrained first, there will be endless troubles.
"Bewang doesn't believe you." Xiao Tianyao still didn't take the medicine, but he didn't refuse.
"Take a pill and show it to Xiao Wangye." The assassin casually threw the medicine in his hand to the martial sage next to him. The martial god grabbed it, poured out a pill, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it like noodles, and put it forward to Xiao Tianyao.
"Are you satisfied now?" The assassin asked coldly, showing a hint of impatience.
"Bring it." Xiao Tianyao didn't refuse this time. He took the medicine bottle handed by the martial god, poured out a pill, and took it in front of the assassin!
The young prince wanted to tell Xiao Tianyao not to eat it, absolutely not. Xiao Tianyao was the only one among them who had combat power, and also the only one who could make assassins fearful. If Xiao Tianyao lost his combat power, they would be slaughtered like a fish.
Seeing the knife on Lin Chujiu's arm, the young prince obediently shut up again.
Along the way, he could see that the relationship between Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu was very good. Unlike a normal imperial marriage, where the husband and wife respect each other like guests, although these two people didn't do anything out of the ordinary, the deep affection between them cannot deceive anyone. Xiao Tianyao would never risk Lin Chujiu's safety… …
