Their tempers were explosive, "We've let him go once already, and now he wants us to let him go a second time?!"
The assassin remained silent.
The knife in his hand edged three inches closer to the Eldest Prince's neck.
Marquis Dongxiang didn't take the assassin's threat seriously at all.
A few days ago, he was threatened because the Eldest Prince wasn't present, but now that the Eldest Prince was here, if they were successfully threatened again, his years as a bandit would be for naught.
The assassin demanded that Marquis Dongxiang release Duke Chong, promising to free the Eldest Prince as soon as Duke Chong was safe.
Unfortunately, Marquis Dongxiang ignored him.
He approached with the Eldest Prince step by step. The assassin became anxious, "Release him!"
Before he finished speaking.
An arrow shot towards him, hitting the assassin right in the temple.
The assassin died instantly.
