Even though Xu Ji Mo repeatedly said those words, he could only hide behind the imperial guards. Luckily, when the situation became worst, General Chen came to the rescue, blocking the a.s.sa.s.sins' path towards him. Xu Ji Mo looked at Chen Zi Tao with contempt in his eyes. if Chen Zi Tao was a second late, he, Xu Ji Mo, would have died already. Instead of being grateful towards Chen Zi Tao, Xu Ji Mo cursed him for being late.

The situation between the a.s.sa.s.sins and the imperial guards were not improving. Little by little, the imperil guards died one by one, even Chen Zi Tao was having difficulties defending Xu Ji Mo.

Xu Ji Mo was standing behind Chen Zi Tao when he saw that someone was planning to stab him. Without any single thought, he stretched his hands and pushed Chen Zi Tao, who was busy fending off the attacks of the a.s.sa.s.sins, towards the sword, making him his s.h.i.+eld.

'Show me your loyalty!'

A malicious glint pa.s.sed inside Xu Ji Mo's eyes. If Chen Zi Tao died, then it would be good.t Too bad, he was only pierced on his arm.

After the event, Xu Ji Mo could not help but feel angry while looking at Chen Zi Tao who was clutching his arm.

"Your Majesty… Are you okay?"

'You should have died!'

Xu Ji Mo silently cursed but he still showed a face that was full of grat.i.tude.

"Zhen is ok. Zhen is very grateful to you, ah, for saving Zhen's life."

"This general is only doing his best to protect His Majesty."

Chen Zi Tao said but his eyes turned dark.

Xu Ji Mo did not care if Chen Zi Tao hated him. He would die sooner or later anyways.

Since Xu Ji Mo's plan did not succeed, his anger towards the a.s.sa.s.sins intensified. Thus, When he saw that the first group retreated, all his fury was redirected to the second group who arrived.

"KILL!!! KILL THEM ALL!! LISTEN TO ZHEN'S ORDER!! KILL THOSE a.s.sa.s.sINS!! KILL THEM ALL! ANYONE WHO CAN KILL THOSE a.s.sa.s.sINS WILL RECEIVE A THOUSAND GOLD COINS!!!!"

XuanRong saw that the situation was not good. She flicked her hand and threw a small red bead towards An Wei without others noticing her movement. When An Wei saw the small red bead on his feet, he immediately understood. He waved his head without saying anything and jumped towards the roof, running away from the palace hall. When An Wei retreated, the others also followed him and left, making Xu Ji Mo mad with anger.

"SEARCH!! SEARCH EVERYWHERE!! KILL THOSE b.a.s.t.a.r.dS! KILL THEM ALLLLL!!!"
