Chapter 696: Death of Wu Xian

"Your Majesty!"

A guard next to Wu Xian screamed, and then stabbed another guard with the long sword in his hand.

And this other guard was the one who had just stabbed Wu Xian with a sword!

"Haha, I killed the emperor of Nanping, I killed the emperor of Nanping!" The guard shouted in joy after stabbing Wu Xian.

"Puchi!"

"Uh..."

His surprised cry did not last long, and he was stabbed by the guard next to him. He was in ecstasy and had not even reacted before he was stabbed.

"Come and save the emperor!" The guard shouted loudly after stabbing the murderer.

The sudden situation here also shocked everyone at the scene. Even Wu Fan and the other two did not expect this to happen. The guard responsible for protecting Wu Xian's safety was actually an assassin in disguise, and he actually succeeded in assassinating him.

The guards who besieged Wu Fan and others retreated in panic. At this time, they no longer cared about continuing to besiege Wu Fan and others. Saving Wu Xian was the most important thing.

"Doctor, go call the doctor." One of the generals came to Wu Xian and said loudly while checking Wu Xian's injuries.

Then a soldier ran out in a hurry, obviously to find the doctor.

"What's going on?" Wu Ya asked blankly.

"I don't know either." Wu Fan shrugged. This time he didn't hide anything from Wu Ya, but he really didn't know why.

"Don't panic, His Majesty is just injured, and his life is not in danger for the time being." The general said after checking Wu Xian's condition.

The assassin heard the general's words and said with disbelief: "This is impossible, this is impossible, I have killed him, he is dead!"

"Don't kill him, ask him who asked him to come." The general said.

It's a pity that the guard was very ruthless in anger just now, so the assassin struggled to say a few words and then died, but his face was full of unwillingness after death.

"I think I know his identity." Wu Fan whispered to himself.

"What did you say?" Wu Ya asked Wu Fan.

"Nothing." Wu Fan said.

Just now, Wu Fan knew the identity of the assassin through the identification technique. Although there was no introduction about the mastermind behind him in the introduction of the identification technique, there was a sentence that attracted Wu Fan's attention.

He is from Yanfeng Country!

Based on this sentence alone, and thinking about his mission this time, Wu Fan can almost be sure that the other party and he are here for the same purpose, and the person who gave the other party this assassination mission is likely to be the old emperor of Yanfeng Country!

"I should have thought that the old emperor would definitely have other arrangements. It seems that this time he has found more than me to assassinate Wu Xian, and the person who accepts his test is definitely not the only one." Wu Fan thought in his heart.

In fact, it feels normal to think about it. After all, assassinating the emperor of the enemy country is not a trivial matter. The old emperor is not familiar with Wu Fan. It is impossible for him to be confident and bold to only give this task to Wu Fan, and to be sure that Wu Fan can definitely complete the task. There will be other arrangements, which is also expected.

Wu Ya looked at Wu Xian not far away and said bitterly: "He is so lucky. Why didn't the assassin just kill him? It's such a pity."

Wu Ya, who already knew the truth of that night and understood Wu Xian's true character, now wanted Wu Xian to die immediately. Seeing that Wu Xian actually survived the disaster, she felt very upset.

"Don't worry, he won't survive." Wu Fan said lightly.

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, Wu Xian suddenly twitched a few times like a last breath, opened his mouth and said a few words, but the voice was too low and no one could hear clearly. After that, he rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and died completely.

Wu Xian is dead!

The general had actually known that Wu Xian was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He said that because he hoped that the imperial physician could come and save Wu Xian's life, and also to stabilize the soldiers on the scene. After all, they were not safe yet. There were still many enemies around them. Once they were in chaos, those enemies would take advantage of the situation and they would all die.

Unfortunately, Wu Xian died before the imperial physician arrived, and he died in front of many soldiers.

"Your Majesty has passed away?!"

"Your Majesty has passed away!"

"Your Majesty has passed away!"

...

Soldiers shouted one after another, and then knelt down to Wu Xian.

Wu Ya looked at Wu Xian, who had no breath, with a complicated expression. Although she had wished that Wu Xian would be killed immediately before, when Wu Xian really died, she still felt a little sad.

After all, he was a brother who had been very good to her. Even if the other party was good to her with a purpose, at least she did feel warmth and care from him.

Moreover, there were only two of them in the entire royal family of Nanping. Now that Wu Xian was dead, she really became the only one left in the royal family of Nanping. She could not help but feel lonely.

Wu Fan looked at Wu Ya and felt fortunate that he did not "grab the head" just now.

In fact, when Wu Xian was dying, Wu Fan could have shot an arrow to kill him. In this way, he could have completed the mission of the old emperor of Yanfeng. He believed that after returning, the old emperor would definitely reward him.

But if Wu Fan really did that, Wu Ya might have a rift with him in her heart, and the relationship between the two might never be as close and trusting as before. Although the death of the royal family of Nanping was related to Wu Xian, it was not Wu Xian's own action after all. Moreover, Wu Xian and Wu Ya were siblings after all, and blood was thicker than water. Wu Ya seemed to want to kill Wu Xian, but when Wu Xian really died, she must have been touched.

In addition to the factor of Wu Ya, the opinions of the ministers and people of Nanping also made Wu Fan decide not to "finish the job". No matter how wrong Wu Xian was, he was still the emperor of Nanping. If Wu Fan really wanted to kill Wu Xian, the ministers and people of Nanping would definitely have opinions about him. In the eyes of outsiders, Wu Fan was Wu Ya's bodyguard. Once Wu Fan killed Wu Xian, it was very likely that Wu Ya would be blamed, and some people and ministers would have opinions about Wu Ya, which would hinder Wu Ya's enthronement.

It was precisely because of these two reasons that Wu Fan restrained himself and did not take action when he had the opportunity to kill Wu Xian and complete the task assigned by the old emperor.

"It's good now. Wu Xian is dead, and Wu Ya's chance has come. Moreover, she doesn't have to bear the crime of killing her brother. What we need to do next is to help her get promoted." Wu Fan thought to himself.
