章 616: Chapter 605: Chaos

The masked assassin didn't even glance at him, his sword aimed directly at the Prince of Yizhou standing at the front...

The Prince of Yizhou was alarmed. While pushing Envoy Zhang away, he retreated backward...

The royal guards had been momentarily distracted by the lively scene of distributing rice dumplings and were a step late. Fortunately, the Prince of Yizhou wasn't completely defenseless; he knew some martial arts.

The guards rushed forward, but then people wearing ghost masks jumped onto the stage. Five or six theatrical actors, armed with weapons, flew upward and attacked the Prince of Yizhou together...

One of them shouted, "Li Chengzhi, today I will avenge the tens of thousands of Yizhou citizens. You embezzled funds meant for the river dykes, causing the deaths of countless folks from Shu Prefecture, you deserve to die!"

The Prince of Yizhou dodged left and right but was carelessly nicked by a sword.
