Just then, the assassin who had been rammed by the golden war chariot struggled into a seated position by leaning on a pillar. However, the other guards quickly rushed over and aimed their weapons at his neck. They also sealed all of his acupoints so he couldn't move at all.
The assassin knew he couldn't escape, so he didn't vainly try to resist. Instead, he stared at the Golden Crow Crown Prince and asked, "Did you not enter the trial just now?"
"Of course not," the Golden Crow Crown Prince said proudly. "If I had done that, how would I have made you two take the bait?"
"You knew we were going to do something from the start?" the assassin replied, looking regretful. If the assassins had known things would turn out that way, they would have waited a bit longer and made their move when the crown prince completely entered the trial.
