There was actually nothing in the mushroom.
However, in the eyes of greedy people, there was a precious piece of gold hidden inside.
The assassin kept it.
He planned on fooling this girl first! As for the decision to see if they should let her go or not would still be up to his boss!
When Gu Nuo’er saw him putting away the mushroom, she quickly said, “No! You can’t put it at your waist. Otherwise, it might fall out.
“They would definitely ask you why you were hiding a mushroom for no reason! You mustn’t take out the gold either. It is relatively small. If it falls out, it will be lost!
“Uncle, don’t hesitate. Hurry up and put it into your mouth! No one will ask you what you’re eating! You can take it out after the situation stabilizes!”
The child had completely taken the initiative in the conversation.
Before the assassin could react, he could only be led on by her quick-thinking.
After Gu Nuo’er finished speaking, he felt that what she said was very right.
Although he usually risked his life with his brothers, he still wanted to take the lion’s share when there was gold like this.
If their boss were to find out, this gold would definitely all go to their boss and he wouldn’t get a single cent.
Therefore, he quickly stuffed the mushroom into his mouth and held it in his mouth.
Fortunately, the mushroom was small and it wasn’t difficult to keep it in one’s mouth.
The assassin said, “Let’s go. Since you’ve found out, then I don’t wish to hurt you either. You’ll suffer less if you come with me obediently!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Nuo’er reached out her small hand and suddenly pushed him.
He wondered where a little girl like her got such strength from.
The assassin was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Just as he was about to scold angrily, he realized that the slippery mucus on the mushroom had slid down his throat!
The assassin felt discomfort in his throat and knelt on the ground, coughing dryly.
Gu Nuo’er placed her hands on her hips, her eyes bright as she said fiercely, “Hmph, how dare you want to kidnap me! Go die!”
Then, the child shouted in a high voice, “Elder Brother Siming, save me! Someone’s stealing a child!”
The group of assassins hiding in the bushes not far away saw their companion suddenly fall.
They had no idea what tricks the little princess had used!
Moreover, the little girl was still shouting. Sooner or later, she would attract the imperial guards!
Lord Xue frowned and hurriedly said, “This is bad! Hurry up and catch her! That Young Master Ye is skilled. Don’t let him make it here in time!”
The assassins quickly got up and ran toward Gu Nuo’er.
One of the assassins ran the fastest. He reached out his hand and was about to grab Gu Nuo’er’s small shoulder.
Suddenly, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the forest and hit his shoulder blade!
The assassin immediately let out a cry and fell to the ground, twitching. Blood kept flowing from his shoulder.
“Gu Nuo’er, squat down.” Ye Siming’s cold voice sounded. The child squatted down obediently and blinked her glass-like eyes.
At the same time, an arrow flew over her head!
This time, he hit the second person’s left leg.
Agonizing screams kept on ringing out and dying off. There weren’t that many assassins, to begin with.
Who would have thought that dealing with a three-year-old princess would be so tricky?!
The scar-faced man, who was the fiercest among the assassins, immediately raised his voice and instructed, “The two of you, go and attack this guard. The rest of you, follow me to capture the princess. It doesn’t matter if she’s dead or alive. Damn it, let’s fight it out with him! I don’t believe that I can’t defeat a brat!”
As he spoke, he pulled out the saber at his waist and swung it at Gu Nuo’er!
Ye Siming’s black shoes moved slightly and he picked Gu Nuo’er up in the blink of an eye.
Although he was very fast, the scar-faced man was closer to Gu Nuo’er.
The moment Ye Siming picked Gu Nuo’er up and retreated, he protected Gu Nuo’er in his arms. However, the assassin’s blade wind brushed past his cheek.
A few drops of blood seeped out of the slender wound.
Ye Siming’s gaze immediately turned cold.
