The Eagle Shooting Heroes: From Golden-Knife Prince Consort to Emperor Guangwu of the Great Zhou Dyn

The news of the emperor and his uncle's murder spread throughout the palace in an instant.

At this moment, the palace was in chaos.

Guo Liqing and Nashita leaped across the rooftops of the royal palace, one after the other.

"Ah! Help!"

The two stopped in their tracks. Nahita asked, puzzled, "Is someone calling for help?"

Guo Liqing recognized the voice as a woman's, but before he could make a move, who was calling for help?

"Let's go! Let's go down and take a look!"

Following the direction of the sound, Guo Liqing rushed into a palace, where he saw the corpses of two palace maids lying inside, and a thin man pinning a woman to the bed.

"Stop!" Nahita shouted first.

Clearly, the thin man was about to assault the woman.

The man turned around, smiled wickedly, and asked, "Who are you?"

He heard Nahita's voice; it was a woman's, so he didn't pay it any mind.

The woman on the bed took the opportunity to hide in the corner of the bed and cover her body with the blanket.

Judging from her gorgeous attire, she doesn't seem to be a palace maid; she must at least be a princess.

"To be here in the palace so late at night, you must be one of the Western Xia's own people!"

Upon hearing Guo Liqing's voice, the thin man was taken aback, clearly having not noticed Guo Liqing's presence earlier.

Nashita roared, "He bullies his own people! There's no point in keeping him alive. Let me kill him!"

"Wait!" Guo Liqing stopped Nashita, but then turned around and struck out with a palm.

The powerful energy struck the thin man, severely injuring him.

Guo Liqing walked over, first applying pressure to the acupoints, then grabbing the skinny man by the neck and lifting him up.

"Who are you? Why are you assaulting this woman!"

The thin man was being choked by Guo Liqing and couldn't speak for a moment.

Seeing that the other person was scared, Guo Liqing put him down.

"explain!"

"I am a warrior of the Western Xia First-Rank Hall, here to protect the Emperor!"

"Is this how you protect me?"

"I heard the emperor is dead. This princess is so beautiful, what's wrong with me taking a bite?" The skinny man stared at Guo Liqing, then realized, "You...you're those two assassins!"

Guo Liqing looked at the man and said, "Take us to the Crown Prince, and I'll spare your life!"

The thin man stared at Guo Liqing and said, "You have to keep your word!"

"good!"

Guo Liqing released half of his acupoints and let him lead the way.

Nahita and Guo Liqing followed behind. Nahita asked, puzzled, "What kind of organization is this Yipintang? Why would they target their own princess?"

Guo Liqing laughed, "The Western Xia First-Class Hall is an organization established by the Western Xia royal family to recruit martial arts masters to serve the royal family. However, the Western Xia royal family hasn't recruited many masters. Last time, they recruited the Four Evils! They were all notorious villains!"

The skinny man said, "The Four Evils joining the First-Rank Hall was over a hundred years ago."

Guo Liqing ignored him and instead said to Nashita, "This guy must have been a womanizer before! Similar to the likes of Yun Zhonghe!"

Seeing that he was no match for Guo Liqing, the skinny man could only suppress his displeasure.

Before long, he led Guo Liqing and the other person into the Crown Prince's bedroom.

Upon seeing the thin man, the crown prince immediately cried out, "Master Yun, there are assassins in the palace! Quickly protect me..."

Before the prince could finish speaking, he saw Guo Liqing and Nashita dressed in black.

He was stunned.

The thin man looked at Guo Liqing and said, "Hero, this is Li Dewang, the Crown Prince of Western Xia. You promised me you'd spare my life!"

Guo Liqing looked at the thin man, drew an arrow, and shot it directly, piercing the thin man's head.

When they died, their eyes were open; they died with their eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace!

"Would I keep my word with someone like you?"

Guo Liqing then walked towards the Crown Prince, saying as he went, "You just called this person 'Master Yun,' could he be a descendant of Yun Zhonghe?"

"Well...it seems so!" the prince stammered. Now, there was no escape, and he could only pray that the person before him wouldn't kill him.

"Great hero, please don't kill me! I'll give you anything you want!"

Guo Liqing sighed and said, "Originally, I only needed your royal family to surrender and I would have spared your lives. However, the Emperor of Western Xia, and Li Yanbo, were both killed by me. We have become mortal enemies! The hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of losing one's country! These are difficult to resolve since ancient times, so... I'm sorry!"

Guo Liqing fired another arrow, piercing the prince's head.

He believed that such a death should be painless.

The political leader in the palace is dead; it's time to deal with the military leader outside.

Tie Ying discovered the chaos in the palace from the city wall and was worried about the safety of Guo Liqing and the other person.

Soon, Guo Liqing appeared and said directly, "Let's go, take me to kill those two generals!"

If Guo Liqing is safe and sound, it means he succeeded.

Tie Ying looked at Guo Liqing with more admiration.

Where in the world is there such a brave person who would rush into someone's palace and kill the emperor!

Just as the three were about to descend the palace walls, lights suddenly flickered in the distance.

Upon hearing of the disturbance in the palace, Yeli Changjun, the commander of the city defense command, immediately led his troops to provide assistance.

Upon seeing the Yeli Changjun army ahead of the reinforcements, Tie Ying quickly said to Guo Liqing, "Marshal, the person leading this army is none other than the Yeli Changjun army, the commander of the city defense command!"

"Oh?" Guo Liqing looked and saw that although it was night, he could barely see people.

"Perfect timing!" Guo Liqing nocked an arrow onto the bowstring!

"call out!"

The arrow pierced the air and shot Yeli Changjun off his horse.

"My lord! My lord!!"

The surrounding soldiers shouted, but the arrow pierced their throats; even a miracle couldn't save them.

The soldier looked up, wondering where the archer was.

However, apart from a palace wall in the distance, there were no other high points.

The soldier was stunned on the spot.

At night, from 100 meters away, a single arrow to the throat!

What kind of archery is this?

Guo Liqing wasted no time and followed Tie Ying to the residence of another high-ranking military officer, Wei Minglingfu.

Judging from his name, this person should be Weiming Linggong's brother or cousin.

However, when Guo Liqing arrived at Weiming Lingfu's residence, he did not find this person.

Even after capturing his subordinates, they still couldn't find out his whereabouts.

Seeing that the capital was in chaos, Guo Liqing immediately prepared to return.

Guo Liqing and Nashita used their lightness skills to run wildly from inside the royal city all the way out.

Soon, they arrived at the outer city wall of the capital.

Nahita asked, "Should we open the city gates and let the army in?"

Guo Liqing waved his hand, "No rush, let it ferment in the city!"

"Fermentation?"

Guo Liqing led Nashita down from the city wall, met up with the people waiting outside the city, and rode back to the camp.

Upon learning that Guo Liqing had gone to assassinate the Western Xia emperor, Tore was very worried and stood guard at the entrance of the camp.

Upon seeing Guo Liqing and his companion return on horseback, Torre immediately shouted, "Anda!"

Guo Liqing reined in his horse and stopped abruptly, saying, "Torre, what are you doing here?"

"I'll be waiting for you here. How will your journey go?"

"It's a success!"

"The Western Xia emperor is dead?"

"Not only the emperor, but the crown prince is dead too!"

Torre exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful! Let's take advantage of the chaos and attack the city now!"

"No rush!" Guo Liqing said calmly.

Why?

"Let's wait and see!"

Genghis Khan was overjoyed to learn of Guo Liqing's successful assassination attempt.

Like Torre, he advocated for an immediate attack on the city, but Guo Liqing stopped him.

Genghis Khan summoned Guo Liqing and Tolui into his tent for a meeting. Also in the tent were Chagatai, Jebe, Chilaun, and many other generals.

Guo Liqing told them to wait for news.

At dawn, a messenger came to report...
