Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 1279

"Die!"

Jleb!

"KYaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Your Majesty!"

The sudden chaos was unexpected. They had already checked the gift before and determined that it was nothing more than a scroll made out of skin that was big enough to paint the map of the northern area.

Who would have thought that there was a knife hidden at the deepest scroll?

"Damn it!"

Emperor Yang Zhou saw the sudden movement and jumped to the side. The knife was pierced towards the chair as he evaded to the side. With his past and experience, his reaction speed was considered quite fast.

"Protect His Majesty!" Prime Minister Lan yelled in anger.

No one would bring weapon into the main hall because it was the rules. He had to call the Imperial Guards who were waiting outside before he could properly protect the Emperor.

The representative knew that the distance was quite far, which was why he tried to cross the distance as fast as possible. But who would have thought that this was not enough as Emperor Yang Zhou had good reflex and easily avoided it?

His expression turned hideous.

There was no need to be a genius for him to know that he would die if he failed. He had to succeed because if he didn't, the end result for him would be the same.

It would be death.

"Die!"

The representative pulled the knife and swung it towards Emperor Yang Zhou once more.

Swish!

This time, it didn't hit as Emperor Yang Zhou scrambled to the side. He gritted his teeth as he felt that he should have brought his sword along. These officials in the main hall were all unreliable as many of them didn't even know martial arts.

Even if they knew, who among them would be so brave to face a knife head on?

They didn't want to lose their lives yet.

'How useless.'

At this moment, there was a shadow from the official's side approaching before a smack could be heard.

Smack! Brush!

Powder of unknown materials were thrown towards the representative from Fan Yi Kingdom, who was also an assassin. The man couldn't react in time and it was at this time the other officials rushed to help.

One of them kicked the knife away.

One of them used their weight to sit on the assassin's back.

Another one was trying to restrain the other arm.

Another one was pulling the assassin's leg.
