Chapter 136: Falling into a Trap

Each long sword stabbed towards the chest of a person.

After the long sword stabbed in, the four of them were stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong.

They looked at each other, and a sense of foreboding welled up in their hearts.

This strange situation made their faces instantly become solemn, and a trace of fear rose in their hearts.

They wanted to see what was going on, but the light in the carriage was too dim and they couldn't see clearly.

Despite this, they could still sense the presence of a humanoid figure before them.

This humanoid object sat there quietly, without making any sound or movement, but it made people feel an inexplicable tension and fear.

But when the sword stabbed in, they found that it did not penetrate the opponent's body as easily as they had imagined.

On the contrary, they all felt a strong resistance, as if the sword was blocked by some hard substance.

But when they tried to pull out the sword, they found that no matter how hard they tried, the sword did not move at all, as if it was firmly stuck inside.

They were very confused and surprised because this situation was completely beyond their expectations.

Could it be that the people in the carriage were wearing some special armor that could protect them from sword attacks?

Several people looked at each other, and looked at the figure in front of them with some confusion and vigilance.

However, at this moment, they suddenly heard a rapid sound coming from the body of the figure in front of them: "Ding ding ding ding ding ..."

The sound was clear and loud, like some kind of alarm.

The four people's faces changed and they all stepped back, with a trace of panic in their eyes.

Suddenly, each human figure exploded from the inside, and loud noises broke the silence.

The shock wave generated by the explosion spread in all directions at an alarming speed, raising billowing smoke and raging flames.

The air was filled with a pungent smell and smoke, making it impossible to breathe.

The flames licked everything and soon engulfed the entire carriage.

The assassin who was holding the reins outside the carriage saw the carriage suddenly break into pieces as if it had been blown up, and there were screams from inside.

He was so frightened that he jumped down and fled from the carriage.

After the explosion was over and the fire subsided, he came back to check and found that all four soldiers were dead.

He found that there was no one else in the ruins except his accomplices.

He walked back a distance and found the driver who had been kicked to the ground by him, only to discover that he was actually a dummy.

The mannequin is wearing clothes, but the body wrapped inside the clothes is made of wood.

It seems that the people in the carriage were also dummies.

The assassin was horrified, it seemed they had fallen into a trap.

Noon, Prince's Mansion.

Chu Tianxing was having lunch when Li Yong walked in in a panic.

After the surviving soldier returned to the imperial capital cautiously, he did not dare to go directly to the Prince's Mansion. It was already noon when he passed the news to Li Yong.

Li Yong did not dare to delay and hurried to inform Chu Tianxing.

As soon as Chu Tianxing saw Li Yong's expression, he immediately lost his appetite.

He put down his chopsticks and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Yong pondered for a long time before saying, "Your Highness, I'm afraid we have fallen into a trap."

"How many died?"

"Four of the five assassins died, and only one returned."

"Where's the other party?"

Li Yong opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Chu Tianxing said unhappily.

"The other party... doesn't have one."

Chu Tianxing raised his eyebrows, "None of Chu Tiancheng's men died?"

"Your Highness, the assassin who came back said that there was only one carriage, and the driver and the people inside were all dummies.

It was too dark for them to see clearly, and when the four men rushed into the carriage, it caught fire and they were all burned to death.”

"dummy?"

Chu Tianxing repeated it several times.

Suddenly, he slammed the table and said, "It was Qin Rubing who did it!"
