After leaving the city, Ye Chengguan went straight to the He family outside the city.
Judging from the account book given by the mysterious man, it contains detailed evidence of the former ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, He Yan, helping the Zhuo family to transport iron ore.
It's just that this person's official position is not high, and the role he presumably plays is just a small minion. If this person is captured in a big way, those who interact with him will definitely be on guard.
However, he heard that He Yan was always cautious. When he was working for the superiors, he would secretly grasp some information about others to save his life. If he could sneak into the He family and collect some clues without anyone noticing, it would be very helpful for continuing to thoroughly investigate the Zhuo family.
It will be of great benefit to you.
After a long and dusty journey, he finally arrived at the Dehe family's house around evening.
It's just that the whole house looked eerily quiet, so he had to be more vigilant.
After finding a secluded spot, he turned over and entered the He family's yard. Seeing that everything was clean and spotless, he guessed that there must be someone in the house.
But until he carefully sneaked deep into the courtyard, he couldn't hear any sound.
Ye Chengguan began to have a bad feeling in his heart.
When he found He Yan's study room, when he opened the door, he saw an old man leaning on the master's chair at the desk inside, with blood stains all around him.
He then pushed open a door next to him, and the thick smell of blood hit his face. Dozens of corpses filled the whole room like a pile of Arhats.
Ye Chengguan couldn't help but tighten the sword in his hand. Before he could react, he saw many black shadows coming out of the window. The eaves and corridors were immediately filled with silhouettes, and the cold light of the sword came directly in front of him.
Looking closely, he saw dense crowds of people approaching his position, at least hundreds of them.
The corner of his mouth turned up with a cold smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Fu really spent a lot of money to deal with me."
The men in black who were coming from all over did not give him a chance to delay, and directly drew their swords and charged at him fiercely.
Ye Chengkui knew that he was alone and weak, and he was not willing to fight. He drew his sword and tested it with the first few people who rushed up. He realized that these people were not simple in skills. They were all well-trained and powerful soldiers.
Before the assassins figured out their way out, they overturned a few people and fled straight out of the hospital.
The assassins discovered that this man's skills were really extraordinary, and they did not dare to be careless anymore. They chased him and vowed to get rid of him.
As soon as Ye Chengguan rushed out of the yard, he saw another group of people rushing out of the woods in front of him. About twenty or thirty people surrounded him.
He stirred up the sword again and started fighting with the intruder.
After killing five or six people in a row, I saw that all of these people were extremely strong, but they were only those who could use brute force. Their martial arts skills were completely different from those of the assassins in the yard.
"So many people want to kill me?"
Ye Chengguan was shocked.
You really underestimated yourself, it seems that you are really capable of offending others.
Seeing that the assassins in the yard were chasing him out one after another, he had no choice but to make up his mind to fight with all his strength.
But the number of assassins was too great, far beyond his imagination. He repelled the attack of one group, and another group followed.
Obviously, these people had already planned it, and they were probably waiting for this perfect opportunity to kill themselves in a wheel battle.
He fought and retreated among the crowd, fleeing all the way into the depths of the jungle, using the complex terrain in the forest to escape the entanglements of some assassins.
Hua Rujin and Zhu Zhiye took their three little ones to stroll around the city until late at night. Watching the lanterns come on and the crowds of people everywhere, she couldn't settle down to watch the lively lantern market quietly.
Just when she was extremely hesitant, she suddenly saw a familiar figure striding in from outside the city.
It was an extremely cold winter day, but the man was sweating profusely and had an anxious look on his face. Hua Rujin couldn't help but rush forward to stop the man, and asked quickly: "Ting'an, what are you doing?
Where have you been and why are you in such a hurry?"
Ting'an was only on his way and didn't see Hua Rujin. Suddenly he saw her blocking him in front of him. He had to stop and replied breathlessly: "Miss Hua, my young master is afraid that he has met an assassin. I have to go to the feudal lord immediately."
Mr. Tai, please send someone out of the city to look for my young master."
"Assassinated?"
Hua Rujin was shocked when she heard this. She pulled him and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
"I am not sure as well."
Ting'an was so anxious that he was at a loss: "The young master went out in the morning. The old lady was worried, so she asked me to follow him. But I followed him all the way to He's house outside the city. I saw corpses everywhere and there were signs of fighting.
, except that the young master is nowhere to be seen, I am very weak on my own, so I have to rush back first to ask for help from Lord Fantai."
Hua Rujin sounded a little angry. This guy kept everything secret from her and acted alone. He never treated her as one of his own.
But looking at Ting'an's extremely anxious look, she was afraid that the assassin Ye Chengkui met was not an easy one. She was also anxious in her heart and hurriedly begged Zhu Zhiye: "Please come forward in person and go to Lord Fantai for more information."
Find some help."
After saying that, he spotted a big black horse nearby, and without even having time to ask the owner, he grabbed it, got on the horse and galloped away from Juechen.
Before Zhu Zhiye could stop him, the girl had already disappeared at the city gate. He shook his head helplessly and told Ting An: "Take the three little guys back first, and we'll leave the matter of moving the reinforcements to you."
Give it to me."
Later, he also imitated Hua Rujin and grabbed a horse in the busy market and went straight to the Chief Envoy's residence.
Ting'an had no choice but to comfort the three little Doudings and rush back to Hua's house.
Hua Rujin whipped her horse and hurried out of the city. Under the hazy moonlight, she hurried all the way, first heading towards the He family.
I don’t know how far I have traveled, but the horse neighed loudly under my feet. The horse suddenly raised its hooves and refused to take another half step forward.
She realized something was wrong, and looked around with vigilant eyes. Suddenly, she saw black shadows running out of the woods, surrounding her.
She quickly took out the dagger for self-defense from her arms, but seeing the dense crowd of people, there were as many as forty or fifty people, she couldn't help but feel panicked for a while.
Just as rays of cold light were gradually approaching her, a loud sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the forest.
The shaking of the earth and the sound of horse hooves also made the besieging assassins panic, and some of them started to rush to attack before anyone showed up.
Hua Rujin's heart trembled as she saw several assassins galloping towards her horse. However, she saw several sharp arrows whizzing past her and piercing the chests of the oncoming assassins.
"Don't hurt my lady."
Following a low shout, Hua Rujin looked back, and happened to see a group of soldiers wearing silver armor galloping towards her, and they were beside her in the blink of an eye.
The leader gathered his bow and arrows, bowed his hands to her respectfully and said, "General Qi Feng has come here on orders from the Grand Governor to protect the safety of the young lady."
Hua Rujin looked closely under the moonlight and immediately saw the face of the man clearly. He was the bodyguard beside Luo Chuhuai.
"Thank you."
Hua Rujin was a little surprised in her heart. She didn't know she would encounter an assassin, and she didn't expect Luo Chuhuai to predict the situation.
Qi Feng did not explain much. He reined in his horse and faced the leading assassin. He sternly reprimanded, "Lu Zhen, you are so brave. You dare to hide this from the Governor and harm the young lady."
When the man named Lu Zhen saw that his identity was revealed, he did not hide it. He took off the cloth and sneered: "General Qi, this is the princess's wish. Do you want to disobey the princess?"
Qi Feng had always only obeyed Luo Chuhuai's orders, not caring about the princess. He signaled to Hua Rujin: "Miss, I'll leave this to the general. You don't have to worry."
When Hua Rujin learned that it was Princess Zhengning who wanted to kill her, she was worried about Ye Chengguan's safety, so she didn't bother to pay attention anymore. She lightly ordered her horses and continued to rush forward.
