Xiao Jinxing swiftly pulled Ye Qichi into his arms.
The assassin's sword missed its mark.
Before the assassin could react, Xiao Jinxing, dragging Ye Qichi, dashed forward frantically.
Ye Qichi was also somewhat astonished that Xiao Jinxing would save her life.
According to Xiao Jinxing's nature, shouldn't he have let her take the sword hit?!
Forget it, regardless, fleeing now is correct.
The assassin was stupefied momentarily before catching up.
The first realization was that King Chen had not been rescued. He had originally chased after other assassins, and while chasing, he suddenly remembered the King of Chu's command—to kill King Chen and also King Chen's wife. But clearly, only one guard took King Chen, which meant King Chen's wife was still at the post station. So he immediately turned back to kill King Chen's wife, yet unexpectedly, he found that King Chen's wife was already at the doorway.
He stabbed forward without hesitation, only to suddenly see King Chen.
