Chapter 38: Oath and Allegiance (3)
Two days later.
Wang Ye and Xue Han worked together to perform a precise treatment on Zhou Yan. The treatment process was very long, starting in the morning and not ending until sunset. Han Ji led the people to ensure that the operation went smoothly ...
The operation was still going on until late at night. When everyone was still busy, dark shadows flashed on the roof of [Prince Jing's Mansion], avoiding the sight of the patrolling guards. The dark shadows came to [Lanyuan] where the operation was being carried out.
"Fire, fire—"
Amid the noise in the distance, the guard team led by Zuo Yu to protect [Arashien] also began to stir...
"Go see what's going on!"
"yes!"
In order not to interfere with the operation, Zuo Yu asked someone to check the situation, and the others stayed where they were. Xue Han had reminded them that during the operation, no one should disturb them, otherwise all the previous efforts would be wasted, so of course they had to be cautious in everything...
After a while, the guard who was sent to check the situation came back and reported to Zuo Yu: "My lord, the stable is on fire!"
"What?"
The stable was on fire? This had never happened before. Moreover, at this moment, just as Zuo Yu was thinking, a breathless guard came running to report: "Your Excellency, an assassin has sneaked into the prince's study——"
"study?"
Zuo Yu immediately thought, could there be a purpose?
"You guys come with me, the rest of you stay behind!"
"yes!!"
Anyway, Zhou Yan's study was usually heavily guarded because important documents were there. To be on the safe side, Zuo Yu had to go there in person and took half of the guards away. When the remaining guards were distracted by the commotion and Han Ji and others were not around, several dark shadows quietly sneaked into the brightly lit room...
On the inside of the screen, Wang Ye and Xue Han were concentrating on the operation. Because the operation required cutting the skin, Zhou Yan had been given an anesthetic injection in advance. Maybe it was too long and Zhou Yan had fallen asleep. The black-clothed men who entered the room approached the screen very lightly. Just as they were about to attack, several silver needles shot out from the screen. Three black shadows immediately fell down and just happened to fall on the screen and hit it, causing a sound. The other two assassins no longer cared about sneak attacks and swung their swords to attack Wang Ye and Xue Han directly...
Wang Ye and Xue Han both fought back against the assassins' attacks without affecting the operation. Perhaps their actions were too sudden, and the two assassins were caught off guard and kicked away by Wang Ye and Xue Han. This time, they knocked over the tables and chairs, and the noise was even louder...
"What happened?"
At this time, the guards who heard the noise also arrived. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two assassins immediately broke through the window nearby and escaped. The first one escaped, and the second one was shot by Wang Ye with a silver needle just before jumping out of the window and fell down...
"stop--"
The guards rushed out in a hurry to chase the fleeing assassin. No one would have thought that with only two doctors present, they could deal with the assassin who had successfully sneaked in in a short time, right? However, judging from the expressions of Wang Ye and Xue Han, they seemed to have expected this.
"The rest is up to you—"
After leaving Zhou Yan, Wang Ye did not forget to instruct Xue Han before walking towards the knocked down assassins. Xue Han did not say much and concentrated on the suturing work. In fact, the operation had been completed shortly before the assassins came in. All that was left was the suturing and bandaging work. Wang Ye gloriously handed this task to Xue Han and walked towards the assassins himself, not lifting the veil but taking off his clothes?
After checking each person one by one, there were very conspicuous black wolf marks on different parts of their bodies. After seeing these, Wang Ye still did not feel any surprise, but he was a little confused...
By the time Zuo Yu realized that it was a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain, he rushed back immediately. Except for the one who escaped, the other five assassins had been subdued, three of them were confirmed dead, and only the last one was still breathing. This was the survivor who was left behind to find clues. Zhou Yan had no feeling or reaction due to the needle, and he had fallen asleep long ago. Although the operation was over, he would not feel anything if he was not awakened naturally. It was impossible to disturb him right after the operation? Zuo Yu followed Wang Ye's words and kept the assassin under strict surveillance, and had done sufficient precautions to prevent him from committing suicide.
Zhou Cheng after receiving the news that Zhou Yan was assassinated again.
"Who is it? Who wants to kill Yan?"
Even though Zhou Yan's behavior would bring disaster upon himself, he still couldn't figure out who the murderer was, and why he took advantage of the surgery to do it? Not many people knew about this, and Zhou Cheng had already strengthened his care for Zhou Yan. The assassin was able to break through the heavy guards and get in. He was known to be someone powerful, but who was behind it?
"The only survivor has been killed. We have no way of knowing—"
"The other party also broke through the tight defense to kill the living person, right?"
"yes!"
It was really helpless. They had already strengthened the supervision on the assassin and sent heavy troops to guard the place, which had prevented the possibility of the assassin committing suicide. However, they did not expect that he would be silenced by the foreign invader. This was something that Xue Han and others had not expected.
"How's Yan's condition?"
"Your Highness is fine, the operation went very smoothly, and he will recover immediately after resting well!"
"Does that mean his hand can be restored?"
"Yes, maybe you won't be able to use it so easily at the beginning, but if you practice well in the future, you should be able to recover your previous flexibility soon."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"Your Majesty, you are too kind!"
Xue Han still maintained his usual attitude of not being shaken by anything, and Zhou Cheng began to have some doubts.
