Zhou Changshou's hair was disheveled and he was almost sitting in a pool of blood.
His body was intact, but Caihe, who was lying in his arms, had a shocking stab wound on his chest.
The knife wound was so deep that the bones were visible, and Li Chen could even clearly see Caihe's ribs in the blur of flesh and blood, as well as the beating internal organs through the pleura.
Light pink blood foam gushed out from the corner of Caihe's mouth. Even though she was trying hard to breathe, everyone could tell that she was beyond saving.
It could be seen from the scene that the assassin had already been ambushing him in the yard, waiting for the right moment before taking a decisive blow and killing him.
The assassin's primary target was obviously Zhou Changshou, but Caihe helped Zhou Changshou block the knife, causing the assassin's assassination plan to fail.
With a livid face, Li Chen quickly walked up to Zhou Changshou, glanced at Cai He, who was as angry as silk, squatted down, and said to Cai He, whose eyes were gradually dimming, "Can you still speak?"
Caihe's eyes moved and turned to Li Chen with difficulty.
Seeing it was Li Chen, she seemed to have regained a little strength.
"Don't worry, I will find the best imperial doctor to treat you."
Although he said this, everyone knew that these were just words to comfort Caihe.
Such an injury is impossible to save under current medical technology.
Just heavy bleeding can kill Caihe immediately.
Caihe tried his best to smile, and then opened her mouth to say something, but her voice was too soft. Li Chen leaned over and leaned close to her lips and said, "Speak, I listen."
"Your Highness, I recognize those people..."
Cai He's energy was like a gossamer, but he still used his last strength to convey the message, "They are the killers around Prince Ning who have been trained for a long time."
The intermittent words were not clear, but Li Chen still understood what she meant.
Taking a breath, Li Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry about these things. Do you have anything else to say?"
Caihe looked at Zhou Changshou.
She moved her lips, but in the end she lost her last bit of strength and died suddenly.
The moment her eyes closed, Zhou Changshou felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He seemed to have come back to his senses at this moment, hugged Caihe tightly, pressed her increasingly cold body against his chest, and cried loudly.
Li Chen stood up, his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
To be honest, he has no feelings for Caihe.
Of course it is not the love between men and women, but there is not much of even the most basic feelings.
I just feel that this woman dares to love and hate. Although she has a bad fate, she is still a strange woman.
In this feudal era, such a woman can somewhat remind Li Chen of something from his past life.
Therefore, he had a deep impression on Caihe and was willing to help her find happiness when he could.
Otherwise, when he was full and full, he tied up Zhou Changshou and gave it to her.
But she is dead now.
Li Chen was not sad about her death.
But Li Chen was angry.
Because this was Prince Ning's most thorough provocation against him.
"Prince Ning wants to kill you."
Li Chen said to Zhou Pingan and Zhou Changshou.
"Kill you first, and then deal with me."
"His heart is worthy of death!!!"
"If we don't get rid of this beast, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
"Xu Wei!"
Li Chen gave a sharp shout, turned his head and ordered: "Immediately send an order to Wu Qingcang to surround the camp of the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun, and then send people to find Prince Ning and bring him to Crescent Pass to see me.
