The welcoming team outside the city was still beating with loud gongs and drums.
Wait for the convoy to approach.
Fan Wenbai led the crowd in shouting, "I welcome the princess!"
"Welcome to you princess!"
After shouting several times, the motorcade stopped, but the Crescent Princess did not show up.
Fan Wenbo raised his head in confusion.
At this moment, a masked man suddenly jumped out, holding a sharp sword, and attacked the carriage. His movements were not unpleasant.
Fan Wenbo was startled at first, and then immediately shouted, "Escort me, protect me quickly!"
The officials and gentry below were also shocked.
But what surprised them even more was, could it be that the city lord took action?
Although they acted panicked, they were actually secretly happy.
The Lord of the City is indeed the Lord of the City, but he is just an assassin, so that’s a bit missing. .
However, they were not allowed to think too much at this moment. Although they shouted for escort, they were also deliberately creating some chaos and slowing down the officers and soldiers.
The masked man's movement was very fast. Although he was caught off guard, as soon as he got close to the carriage, he was pushed back by a sword light coming out of the carriage.
The accompanying guards also rushed over.
The masked man missed the target, and seeing that the opportunity was lost, he flew away without any desire to fight. When the officers and soldiers from Crescent City gathered around to rescue him.
The masked man had disappeared from everyone's sight.
A heavy cold snort also sounded, "Is this the defense of Crescent City? If the princess hadn't been prepared, wouldn't she have been killed by an assassin today?"
Alan, the princess's personal guard, sheathed his sword and snorted coldly.
It was she who came out of the carriage just now to fight off the masked man.
Fan Wenbo said in panic, "I have neglected my duty. I wonder where the princess is now?"
Obviously the Crescent Princess was not in the carriage, nor did she see Li Qian, and an assassin suddenly appeared, which made him very uneasy.
"I am the commander of the princess's bodyguard. From now on, I have given the princess the order to take over the defense of Crescent City. Where is the defense commander of Crescent City?" Alan did not answer Fan Wenbo, but glanced at the officials of Crescent City. .
The city defense commander secretly glanced at Fan Wenbai and saw that Fan Wenbai lowered his head and said nothing, so he had no choice but to walk out.
"I am the city defense commander Bi Jun."
"As a city defense commander, I have seriously neglected my duties and shall be dismissed and investigated!" Alan said coldly.
Bi Jun's voice became a little louder when he heard that dismissal was not counted as being dismissed, but was still being investigated. "The presence of an assassin is indeed considered a dereliction of duty, but you are not a princess, so why should I be dismissed and investigated?"
"I said just now that I gave orders to the princess, and now I am representing the princess!" Alan said coldly, "From now on, all city defense will be at my command!"
Bi Jun wanted to argue a few more words, but Fan Wenbo's eyes stopped him.
He had no choice but to hold back his anger and swallow his words.
When other officials saw that Princess Crescent had not shown up yet, they dismissed Bi Jun from his post. This was equivalent to taking away the military power of Crescent City at once, which was beyond their imagination.
The key is that they really can only watch.
Originally, the appearance of the assassin made them feel a little happy, but now, they just feel that this matter has become really troublesome.
They also secretly glanced at Fan Wenbo with some resentment.
Lord City Lord, just send an assassin, why don't you even know that the princess is not in the convoy?
The gong and drum team has naturally been withdrawn.
Although the Crescent Princess was nowhere to be seen, no one dared to be sloppy and even seemed cautious when the assassins made trouble.
After welcoming the convoy into the city.
Fan Wenbo saw the cronies who had stayed in the city lord's mansion coming in a hurry.
This also confirmed his guess. He sighed secretly, he had the head start!
