The two guards dragged Shang Ningshen away, and one of them asked, “Your Highness, are you alright?”
Shang Ningshen was shocked.
Could they not tell if he was alright? He had been stabbed several times, and a sharp arrow had pierced his chest. Would he be alright?
“Move! Don’t stop!” He gritted his teeth and managed a few words.
The two guards did not dare to stop. Although their companions were blocking the shadow guards’ paths, there were too many of them. They could stall them for a while, but not forever.
“Where are our people? Why aren’t they here yet?”
After fleeing for a while, Shang Ningshen finally could not take it anymore and asked the two guards.
He had arranged for many people to be stationed outside the city, just in case. But now that word of him had spread, why was no one coming to his aid?
“This… I don’t know.”
How could the two guards know where their people were?
Having fled the palace with Shang Ningshen, they were not much more knowledgeable than him. If Shang Ningshen did not even know where their people were, how could they know anything?
He reckoned only the heavens knew.
“Everyone is useless!” Shang Ningshen cursed softly.
The people who had promised to protect him vanished at this critical moment. He could not rely on people who were not his.
They might have received orders from his father to kill him in Daqing Kingdom.
Why hadn’t he thought of this earlier?
As they fled and spoke, the shadow guards finished off the guards blocking them and chased after them quickly.
Just as they were about to catch up, another sharp arrow flew through the air.
This time, it did not reach Shang Ningshen. It was not because the aim was bad, but because someone had stopped it suddenly.
Yan Nuo grabbed the arrow that tore through the air. He loosened his grip, allowing the arrow to fall to the ground, before turning around to look at the shadow guards.
“Finish everyone,” he ordered calmly.
“Retreat!”
The shadow guards had met Yan Nuo, Qian Jiyun’s capable subordinate from the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.
They sensed danger when they saw this person. They did not care if Shang Ningyi was dead or alive. The leader ordered them to retreat, and the shadow guards wanted to leave.
But how could Yan Nuo let them leave just like that?
The people he had brought rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, the shadow guards, who had overpowered Shang Ningshen’s guards, were killed.
By the time Shang Ningshen and the two guards reacted, Yan Nuo had arrived in front of them, his eyebrows raised.
“Second Young Master Shang, come with me.”
“Yan Nuo!” Shang Ningshen gritted his teeth.
He finally understood why there was barely anyone on his side. Yan Nuo’s people had probably killed everyone.
There was a reason why Yan Nuo did not attack the two guards beside him.
After all, Shang Ningyi had to be sent back to Shang Kingdom. He had to have two people by his side, right? Otherwise, how could a young master like him return to Shang Kingdom safely?
Although the Emperor of Daqing Kingdom did not successfully kill Shang Ningshen, Emperor Shang tried to kill his son to frame their master, Qian Jiyun.
Their master would never take the blame for this.
