"Kill the other thief as well!"

Until Jing Ke was stabbed full of holes by the guards who arrived shortly after, the ritual official hiding behind the pillar trembled and pointed at me, stuttering and trembling.

I really intended to help Jing Ke.

Since I knew I probably didn't have the ability to save Princess Hu, I could at least kill the King of Qin and give her a slim chance of freedom.

But after entering the great hall, that invisible terror made it impossible for me to control my body.

Until now.

However, at this moment, the King of Qin was already surrounded by the guards. After the ritual official shouted, two men with swords in hand separated from the group and approached me menacingly.

My death was imminent.

Facing the oncoming blades, I could only stand still, close my eyes, and wait for the irresistible end to come.

"Stop."

Just as the sharp edges were about to reach me, the voice of the King of Qin resounded in the distance, saving my life.

"I have a question for him."

I opened my eyes and looked at the tall figure, pushing aside the guards in front of me, step by step, walking towards me.

Although his clothes were disheveled and his crown had fallen off earlier, he still exuded an undeniable majesty.

"What is your name?"

"Lu Sheng."

"Good, Lu Sheng. I ask you," the King of Qin raised his right hand in front of me, there was a faint bloodline on the back of his hand, barely noticeable unless you looked closely, "Did the person's sword just now injure me? Am I in danger?"
