Chapter 109 Staying Elsewhere: Something Strange
"Ninth Prince, did you ever imagine that you would become our prisoner today?"
The newcomer had a fierce look on his face. Yang Ling was doomed to die today, but after hearing his words, Yang Ling not only showed no panic, but also sat there calmly eating as if he did not see the danger around him.
Seeing Yang Ling's composure, the assassin leader frowned. As expected of a prince, he could remain calm in this situation, which did not disappoint him.
Mingyue and the others were ready to go. As soon as Yang Ling gave the order, they would go up and fight these people to the death.
Although we can't kill the enemy with 100% certainty, we can cover the Ninth Prince's safe escape from here.
However, after waiting for a long time, Yang Ling did not speak, which greatly angered the assassin leader.
The knife is already at his neck, what is he still pretending for?
"Ninth Prince, today I will take your life!"
As he spoke, he roared and drew the curved sword from his waist, ready to fight to the death.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Yang Ling smiled calmly, wiped her hands, and slowly stood up.
"Let me guess where you come from!"
Yang Ling appeared completely fearless as she slowly walked up to the man, a look of utter disdain in her eyes.
The assassin leader chuckled coldly upon hearing this. The Ninth Prince really loves to put on an act.
But what's the point of pretending now? He could be killed in a heartbeat.
"Since Your Highness wants to guess, then guess. I want to see what Your Highness can guess."
The assassin leader was arrogant; the group in front of him was already his, so he naturally had no worries whatsoever.
Yang Ling glanced at the man indifferently, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. Although he appeared calm as always, he was actually a little nervous inside.
"Although I don't know which side you belong to, I can guess that you're doing this to frame those people in the imperial court. Even if you can't kill me today, you can at least make me wary of them. Am I right?"
Yang Ling knew perfectly well that now that he was here, Chang Qing and his gang would definitely not attack him again.
Those who are still preparing to take action now are none other than people from a few other countries.
Then they would frame the crown prince and his associates, and if they died, everything would be fine.
If I were to survive by sheer luck, the entire Liang Dynasty would fall apart because of this incident.
This group really played their cards well.
Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, the assassin leader burst into laughter.
Everyone says that the Ninth Prince is exceptionally intelligent, and I never expected that seeing him today would prove it to be true.
"But even if you guessed it, so what? Today I am 100% confident that I can kill you."
The assassin leader had a faint smile on his lips. He had already laid a trap here, originally intending to make his move from the front, but he hadn't expected that the Ninth Prince would be stationed here.
Although it was somewhat different from what they had expected, it was undoubtedly a good opportunity.
After all, there would be absolutely no danger in making a move here.
Yang Ling smiled faintly upon hearing his words. This assassin leader was indeed quite confident. Even though Yang Ling had already guessed his identity, he remained so calm.
After the man finished speaking, he waved his hand, and all the assassins behind him rushed forward.
"Your Highness, be careful."
When Mingyue saw the other party raise his knife to kill Yang Ling, she quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
A fierce battle broke out in an instant, but it was clear that Yang Ling's group was no match for the assassins.
The opposing force could be considered the elite of the entire country, and their numbers far exceeded theirs.
Yang Ling was so well protected that the other party couldn't get close at all.
"Since you're so eager to die, I'll send you on your final journey."
Yang Ling held up his gun, looked at the assassin leader who was locked in combat with Mingyue, and decisively fired the shot the next second.
However, Yang Ling's marksmanship was really lacking; if that person were standing right in front of him, he would have been able to hit them 100%.
However, the two fighters moved very fast during the exchange, and they also had to consider Mingyue's safety, so their marksmanship was somewhat off-target.
Fortunately, the blow landed on the opponent's shoulder, so Mingyue didn't have to exert too much effort.
"Tianba, Tianba, why aren't you here yet!"
Yang Ling glanced into the distance. Li Tianba should have arrived with his men by now, as she had specifically instructed him to do so.
It's already this late, why hasn't this old guy shown up yet?
If they don't come soon, the group of people we've managed to gather will probably be wiped out.
Just as Yang Ling was looking anxious, a horn suddenly sounded in the distance.
Then came the sound of galloping hooves and shouts of battle.
Yang Ling frowned slightly. These weren't his men? Could they be here to kill him again?
"I was careless! I was careless!"
Yang Ling felt a lingering fear; this was a step he hadn't anticipated.
Just as he was filled with fear and anxiety, the cavalry charged at the assassin.
Seeing this, Yang Ling quickly had Mingyue bring her men to her side to prevent them from being killed by the sudden cavalry attack.
In just half an incense stick's time, all the assassins were killed without exception.
"This humble general, Zhang Liao, commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, pays his respects to Your Highness."
The man came up to Yang Ling and knelt down on one knee.
Zhang Liao?
Yang Ling felt that the name sounded familiar. Wasn't this Cao Cao's general from his era?
How can there be people with the same name in this time and space?
"Get up, all of you. We really owe you a lot this time."
Yang Ling reached out and helped Zhang Liao up, looking at him with a gratified expression. He had heard of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry before; in the original owner's memories, this elite force was Emperor Liang's trump card. It seemed that this deployment was at Emperor Liang's behest.
"His Majesty has ordered us to come and welcome Your Highness back as soon as possible. Please come back to the capital with me quickly."
Zhang Liao spoke in great haste, which touched Yang Ling somewhat. It seemed that she still held some place in the heart of the Liang Emperor.
"it is good."
Yang Ling nodded. Although the assassination attempt had been somewhat chaotic, he hadn't been seriously injured. However, he was still a little worried about Li Tianba. The kid hadn't shown up yet; could something have happened to him?
Before leaving, he gave Mingyue a wink, signaling her to take a few men to track down Li Tianba, while he returned to the capital with Zhang Liao.
However, they had only just arrived in the capital city and hadn't even had a chance to enter the palace when they were blocked by palace eunuchs.
