Chapter 56: Dagger (Extra Update)

On that day as he was being chased and assassinated, Yan Huisheng's guards were scattered by the assassins along the way. Eventually, only he himself remained, with two assassins hot on his tail. In reality, he had very little energy left and was in the middle of wilderness. Accepting his fate, he started thinking that perhaps his death would relieve his father, the Emperor, from considering him a threat. He wondered if his father would grieve for him.

To his surprise, things took a positive turn. He saw a woman fishing by the river. As she turned around to the noise, he realized he should spare her from getting involved. If the assassins killed him, they would surely not spare this witness.
