A long sword flew out swiftly as if in slow motion, piercing the chest of one of the assassins.
Realizing that something was wrong, the assailants did not face the counterattack, but continued to charge toward Gu Jiao.
The owner of the long sword leaped into the air, positioning himself in front of Gu Jiao.
Both sides began to fight fiercely, while Gu Jiao quickly pulled up the Consort of Prince Rui.
The Consort of Prince Rui, already frightened and at her wits' end, fainted in Gu Jiao's arms after calling out "Prince Ning."
So it was Prince Ning.
Gu Jiao, cradling the Consort of Prince Rui, turned her attention back to the fight.
At this point, Prince Ning had killed three of the assassins and one fled after realizing the situation was not in his favor.
Prince Ning barked a command, "Capture him! Alive!"
The guards from Prince Ning's Mansion chased after the fleeing assassin.
