The secret guards took the order and quickly rushed through the rain like arrows.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
The rain was so loud that they couldn't hear the sound from far away, but the sound of the soldiers reporting numbers penetrated the rain from time to time.
With the sound of the counting, the number of arrows that shot over gradually decreased.
A sharp whistle sounded.
Then, the archers hiding in the dark all stood up and retreated while fighting with the secret guards.
"Don't chase after them."
Luo Qingyan's voice sounded. Soon, the secret guards retreated and surrounded the assassins who had approached the camp at the beginning.
"Kill them all."
Luo Qingyan was very clear that even if such a daredevil was caught, he wouldn't be able to find out anything, so he chose to kill all of them.
About a quarter of an hour later, the secret guard returned to Luo Qingyan.
"Your Majesty, there are fifty-seven assassins in total."
"Okay." Luo Qingyan nodded, "Dispose of the corpse."
The assassination tonight was finally over. Luo Qingyan ordered the secret guards to dispose of the corpse and turned back to the camp.
As soon as Liu Wenan lifted the curtain of the camp, Luo Qingyan sensed something wrong.
There was a strange fragrance in the camp. When they opened the curtain, they smelled it.
Liu Wenan quickly responded, "It's knockout smoke."
However, he didn't take any precaution. As soon as he uttered the three words, he fell down.
Luo Qingyan held his breath and lifted Liu Wenan up.
The secret guards had rushed into the camp and opened the windows and doors to let the smoke dissipate quickly.
The secret guards that he asked to protect Chengye were all knocked out.
On the bed, the quilt was a little messy, but there was no one on the bed.
Luo Qingyan trembled and clenched his fists in his sleeves. He rushed into the room and touched the quilt.
In the winter, the heat dissipated quickly, and the quilt was slightly cold...
Luo Qingyan's lips moved slightly. "I thought that the whistle was sent by the assassins as a signal to retreat because they suffered a great loss. But it turned out that... It turned out that they had already got what they wanted."
The secret guards had quickly applied the antidote to the secret guards who fell on the ground. The secret guards woke up one after another and knelt down. "I'm sorry that I didn't protect the Crown Prince well."
