After sensing the dangerous aura around Nangong Kaige, Ye Chen suddenly sighed.
Fortunately, he came here, otherwise Nangong Kaige would most likely have died tragically on a busy street of the imperial capital because of his arrogance and frivolity.
If this is true, it will not only become a major event for the Yongan Empire, but also a shame for the Nangong royal family.
After all, the second prince, Nangong Kaige, had guarded the country's borders for decades and repelled the Black Seal Empire's attacks countless times.
With such outstanding achievements, if they died on the streets just after returning to the empire, how would the public view the Nangong royal family?
"More than a dozen emperor-level warriors and three quasi-emperor warriors!"
"In order to assassinate the second prince Nangong Kaige, the battle array deployed is quite large!"
Feeling the spiritual power fluctuations of the man who was secretly spying on Nangong Kaige, Ye Chen quickly made a judgment.
However, he did not take action immediately, but secretly followed behind the three Quasi-Emperor Realm warriors.
He wanted to see who wanted to kill Nangong Kaige.
After these people followed Nangong Kaige to a street with few pedestrians, the quasi-imperial warrior with the highest level of cultivation suddenly made a gesture of wiping the necks of several of the emperor-level warriors.
Those people understood and immediately rushed out, attacking Nangong Kaige in the quickest way.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
For a moment, the sword light pierced the void and arrived around Nangong Kaige in an instant.
At this speed, if the reaction was slower, he would definitely die on the spot.
However……
"Buzz!"
Nangong Kaige seemed to have been prepared for it. His body shook, and his spiritual power immediately spread out from his body, and in an instant it condensed into translucent spiritual shields.
Every piece is golden and looks extremely thick.
"Keng clang clang!"
Although the swords of those sneak attacks were sharp, they were bounced away one after another when they struck the spiritual shield.
"You are so brave, how dare you be elected to attack and kill this prince?"
After blocking the attack in one fell swoop, the second prince Nangong Kaige roared angrily, lifted up his cloak, and glanced at the assassins around him with piercing eyes, "Who on earth sent you?"
Those people didn't say anything, but launched another more violent attack.
One person on each side, blocking all of Nangong Kaige's paths.
Seemingly wanting to deal with Nangong Kaige in the shortest possible time, these people started their attacks with deadly moves, being sharp and cunning.
Even though Nangong Kaige was able to cope with it for the time being, facing such a fierce and intensive offensive, he began to feel a little stretched and overwhelmed.
"Are you sent by the eldest prince Nangong Lie?"
While dealing with the assassinations of several emperor-level assassins, Nangong Kaige asked angrily.
Unfortunately, what we received was not an explanation from these assassins, but an even more fierce offensive.
Darkly.
Several quasi-imperial assassins sneered.
"This second prince is indeed as arrogant and arrogant as the rumors say!"
"Yes, this kind of character may have a deterrent effect in the army, but in this chaotic imperial capital, it is simply a fatal drawback!"
"If he had stayed at the border of the Western Region, commanded the 300,000 troops, and not gotten involved in the struggle for the throne, no matter which prince came to the throne in the end, he should have been given a small favor and given him a prince or something. Unfortunately, he
But I made an extremely stupid decision!"
"As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty and only harbors guilt. If he returns to the imperial capital at such a critical moment, even if he has no intention of competing for the throne, the other princes will not be able to let him go!"
"With his cultivation level, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long!"
"Until he did, he probably didn't know how he died!"
"To avoid long nights and endless dreams, let's take action together!"
"Okay, let's make a quick decision so we can go back and recover!"
As they spoke, the three quasi-imperial assassins were ready to take action themselves.
But then, their movements froze again.
Because at the moment when they were about to take action, they unexpectedly felt an extremely dangerous aura.
Right from behind them!
It was as if they were being targeted by some monster that chose and ate people, sending chills down their spines and making their hairs stand on end.
In fact, they didn't even dare to act rashly.
Because this sense of crisis is too strong!
It was so strong that they had no doubt that once they made a move, what awaited them would be an absolutely devastating attack.
This is the agile perception that only warriors who have reached the quasi-imperial realm can possess.
Although I haven't seen who it is yet, I don't know the other party's specific cultivation level.
But just from this strong sense of crisis, they can be sure that the warriors who are targeting them are definitely far superior to them in cultivation.
If the other party is willing, their lives can be taken away before they even have time to escape or make any resistance.
"I ask, you answer!"
A hoarse and difficult voice came from behind them at the right time.
"Okay, if you ask, as long as we know something, we will definitely answer it!"
One of the quasi-imperial assassins said tremblingly.
"Who sent you here?"
Before the other party could answer, Ye Chen reminded him: "Remember, I just want to hear the truth. If you dare to make excuses to delay time, or try to lie to me, today next year will be your death anniversary!"
"Okay, I say!"
The quasi-imperial assassin said in panic: "The general sent us here!"
Another quasi-imperial assassin echoed: "Yes, we are guests of the General's Mansion. The General learned that His Highness the Second Prince has returned from the border of the Western Region, so he asked us to get rid of him secretly!"
"oh?
Is the General sensitive to light?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.
Although he had long guessed that General Long Guangzheng had turned to the other princes, he still felt a little complicated when he heard these people say it with his own ears.
The most fickle thing in the world is indeed the human heart!
According to Nangong Kaige, it was General Long Guangzheng who suggested that the former go to the border of the Western Regions to join the army ten years ago.
Its purpose was to win over the morale of the military, firmly control the 300,000 troops in the west, and lay the foundation for future competition for the throne.
It's good now, Nangong Kaige has done it.
However, General Long Guangzheng, who was originally thinking about Nangong Kaige, no longer had his original intention.
This result cannot be said to be sad!
As he thought about it, he asked again: "Which prince does the general serve for now?"
"Of course it's the Fourth Prince!"
The quasi-imperial assassin responded without thinking.
"oh?
The Fourth Prince Nangongyuan?"
Ye Chen's heart moved.
He thought it was the eldest prince Nangong Lie just now.
Now it seems that I still guessed wrong.
The fight for the throne should not be dominated by the eldest prince Nangong Lie's family.
In addition to the eldest prince, the fourth prince Nangong Yuan also seems to have a powerful background.
Not to mention anything else, just having the support of the General's Office is a powerful source of support.
