Chapter 1353: Prince Li’s Extra: Uncle
After listening to Murong Kai's words, the Duke of Zhenguo and Murong Kai's guards understood that since this was a "long-planned" assassination, you assassins who pretended to be dead should be killed.
When Murong Kai's guards killed the assassins lying on the ground, the Duke of Zhenguo also instructed: "Leave two alive, go back and ask who is so bold that he dared to attack the prince and princess in broad daylight."
Zhen Junran, who had been stunned just now, was even more shocked at this moment. If he killed him, he would not be able to explain to that person. If he left him alive...
Zhen Junran didn't care about anything else. He looked at the assassins on the ground and took action. He killed them with one knife and left no room for them. He wanted to kill them all now. If there were no survivors, he would have a better explanation.
However, there were too many people who took action. In the end, two leaders were left. Murong Kai's guards took care of them personally. Zhen Junran wanted to take action several times, but seeing that they were covered in blood and on guard, he finally gave up.
However, the Duke of Zhenguo saw him looking at the assassins with a flickering look in his eyes, and couldn't help but tease him: "Young Master Zhen's skills are not good enough, and the people he killed were only slightly injured."
Zhen Junran could only smile awkwardly and follow behind this group of people. Even if he had great courage, he couldn't say that he was deliberately letting them go, otherwise they would put him and the assassins together.
What Zhen Junran didn't know was that even if he tried to pretend to be indignant, everyone present already knew that he was the insider of this group of assassins. The fight that made them feel that they were on the verge of life and death just now was just a good show directed by him, Zhen Junran.
When everything settled, the endless snow was already covered with bloodstains, but most of them were assassins in black clothes. It was not that they were not as skilled as others, but that they were discovered and crushed to death without waiting to resist.
Murong Kai's personal guard walked to his side and asked softly: "Young Master, we..."
"Who asked you to come back?" Murong Kai's eyes were cold and fierce.
The guards bowed their heads and dared not answer. They wanted to come back on their own. Their master was here.
But the master asked them to protect Princess Aman. They left Princess Aman and came back, which was disobedient. If the master pursued this, they would be severely punished.
"I know my fault. I will accept the punishment from you." Several guards said in unison. As long as they could ensure that their master was safe, they would be willing to accept any punishment.
"Aman asked them to come. If they didn't come, Aman would come in person. Why, do you want Aman to come here for you?" The Duke of Zhenguo listened to Murong Kai blaming the guards and spoke softly.
Murong Kai looked at the Duke of Zhenguo. When he looked at him before, his eyes were full of vigilance, but today, when he looked at him, he was more loving, and his words were like an elder scolding his younger generation.
Obviously, when he was on the verge of life and death just now, he gave his clothes to Aman and asked his guards to escort Aman away, which made the Duke of Zhenguo change his rejection and defense against him.
"Duke Zhenguo, even if Ah Man requested, they shouldn't... leave Ah Man in danger. If Ah Man had any chance..."
"Ah Man won't have any chance. He's safe now. Nan Feng and the others stayed to protect her. She was worried about you, so she asked us to come."
"Duke Zhenguo..." The guards couldn't be exempted from punishment this time. Murong Kai wanted to continue arguing with him. After all, he had led troops and knew the importance of enforcing orders.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the Duke Zhenguo said dissatisfiedly: "Duke Zhenguo, Duke Zhenguo, don't you have any other name for me?"
Murong Kai was stunned for a long time before he reacted and tentatively called out: "Uncle."
His voice was very low, and the Duke Zhenguo did not agree. It was just the smile at the corner of his mouth that betrayed his mood at the moment.
