Bai Yaoyu's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Bai Zhi'er spread her small hands and clutched her brother's arm tightly.
"Wuu~ Third Brother, Zhi'er is scared~ That Zian, there's so much blood!"
Bai Yaoyu quickly pulled his sister into his arms to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, Zhi'er. Third Brother will protect you."
His sister must have been frightened out of her wits.
She even got Wei Zian's surname wrong.
Soon, a few attendants of the noblemen and the guards of the archery field managed to subdue the assassin together.
They discovered that besides a dagger, the assassin also had a packet of knockout drugs and three silver needles with blackened tips, evidently poisoned.
As the assassin was being taken away, he shouted angrily at Wei Zian—
"You Wei Family, treating lives like weeds! Abusing power to cause harm! You're officials, wretched officials!"
Wei Zian was surrounded by his attendants, pressing a clean handkerchief to his bleeding eye.
