Chapter 131: Failed Assassination
Ruyin was entangled by the guards protecting Mao Wenlong, and she couldn't get close to Mao Wenlong's body at all, so in a hurry, she directly threw her hand and flew out of the sword.
Facing the flying sword that came straight to the door in front of him, Mao Wenlong was as indifferent as ever, such a low-level attack, even if he relied on his own ability, he could easily dodge, not to mention that he also had four first-class guards by his side.
I saw a flash of cold light, and a saber suddenly appeared in front of Mao Wenlong, and the sharp sword that flew straight to him accurately flew away.
"Ding!"
After a crisp sound of gold and iron, the sharp sword thrown by Ruyin broke into two sections and fell at Mao Wenlong's feet.
The four guards quickly exchanged glances, and then two of them flashed out, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the entangled Lan'er and Ruyin.
The two guards did not hesitate, and the saber immediately swept away, and two cold lights flashed.
"Dingding......
The powerful saber was not at all able to withstand the long swords in the hands of the two girls, in a series of tinkling sounds. The long sword in the hands of Ruyin and Lan'er suddenly broke into several knots, and they could no longer be used.
The two of them immediately changed their complexions, knowing that they were not opponents, and after exchanging glances, Ruyin and Lan'er did not hesitate to shake off the remaining knife in their hands.
After slightly blocking the two guards, both of them jumped back at the same time, and hurriedly fled under the cover of many of his subordinates behind them.
The two guards were about to chase after them with their knives, but Mao Wenlong shouted to stop them.
Now that the enemy is in the shadows, I don't know if there is an ambush in the woods, and it is not worth the danger easily.
A sudden fight quickly subsided, and the Fusang Sect directly threw down more than a hundred corpses, and then fled in panic. If it weren't for Mao Wenlong's forbiddenness to them to pursue, he would definitely kill some more Fusang warriors.
Chen Jisheng led the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then escorted Mao Wenlong to continue on the road. This time, he didn't dare to be careless, let alone say anything nonsense about walking slowly.
Ruyin and Lan'er didn't run far, they hid at the edge of the woods, watching Mao Wenlong and their men gradually move away, and their eyes showed unwillingness.
"Sister Ruyin, what should we do?" After all, Lan'er is still young, although she has been walking with her master for two years, but she has never really taken care of things, so when she encounters tricky situations, she always seems to be a little dispossessed.
Ruyin retracted her farsighted gaze, the hatred in her eyes was hidden, and she said lightly: "There are many masters around Mao Wenlong, we must not be so careless again." The next time you assassinate him, you must be completely prepared, and now spare his life. ”
Lan'er was very unwilling in her heart, but she had no choice but to listen to Ruyin's opinion. sent someone to follow Mao Wenlong, and then hurriedly retreated.
Since the sneak attack, Fuso has not been seen for the next day. Seeing that Ye Xian had appeared in sight, Chen Jisheng began to become bored.
Along the way, he was always waiting for Fusang to come to attack again, and then he could happily slaughter a few more Fuso warriors again.
However, Ye County had arrived, but the Fusang warriors had not appeared again, and Chen Jisheng suddenly became listless.
After entering the city and returning to Mao's mansion, Mao Wenlong, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan chatted for a while, and then immediately called Chengzuo and Liu Guangzuo to ask about the situation of the four families in the city.
Before Mao Wenlong left, he explained that the four families would fight, and a month would pass, and I don't know what the four families have become?
Liu Guangzuo stepped forward and replied: "Chief soldier, the four families have developed from a battle of words and tongues to now directly fighting with knives and guns. We have been following your instructions and not letting either side lose too quickly, so the four families have all reached the point where the edifice is about to fall. Now we can replace them at any time, and without God knowing. ”
Mao Wenlong didn't care much about the farce of the four families, but he was worried that he couldn't eradicate it directly, so he needed such trouble. Now that they're clearly in disrepute, there's nothing to worry about.
Mao Wenlong immediately ordered: "Since this is the case, then replace them as soon as possible, and start cleanly, so as not to leave any trouble." ”
"Yes, Commander!" Liu Guangzuo and Cheng Zuo immediately took the order to retreat.
After dealing with the affairs of the four families, Ye County also means that he is really under the control of Mao Wenlong. This is the place where Mao Wenlong took off, and it is also the rear of all the Dongjiang Army.
But there was a matter on his mind, and Mao Wenlong remembered that he hadn't gone to see Hong Chengchou, who had been escorted back for some time.
At present, there is an extreme shortage of manpower under Mao Wenlong, and if Hong Chengchou is willing to surrender, it will definitely be a great help. It's a pity that this guy is very stubborn, and his loyalty to the monarch is too strong, and he is treated like this by Chongzhen, but he still refuses to submit.
Hong Chengchou lives in Mao's mansion, and he lives in the same courtyard as Hong Ziyan. Hong Ziyan also read the letter given to her by Mao Wenlong.
She knew that Mao Wenlong wanted to win over her father to do big things together, and Hong Ziyan supported Mao Wenlong very much. After learning what happened to her father, she didn't have any good impression of the court.
Hong Ziyan also hopes that her father can come to Mao Wenlong's side, so that she can not only break the previous estrangement between the two, but also make her Mao Wenlong's wife rightfully.
Therefore, at this moment, Hong Chengchou is restricted to activities in the courtyard, but Hong Ziyan is also supportive. And he took the trouble to persuade his father.
When Mao Wenlong arrived, Hong Chengchou stayed in his house and read, and he was used to the comfortable life these days. didn't make any noise to go out or take Hong Ziyan back to her hometown.
Hong Chengchou heard the movement of opening the door, looked up, and found that it was not his daughter, but Mao Wenlong, who he hadn't seen for nearly a month.
The face that was still smiling turned gloomy: "What are you doing here?" ”
Mao Wenlong didn't mind Hong Chengchou's bad tone at all, he made himself a cup of tea, and after looking around at the house where Hong Chengchou lived, he smiled and said, "It's good, it's quiet, how about it?" Are you used to living here? ”
Without the expected persuasion, Hong Chengchou's gloomy face improved slightly, but there was still no smile on his face: "Being grounded, even if you live well and comfortably, what's the use!" ”
Mao Wenlong smiled: "Actually, whether you will be grounded or not is not entirely up to your choice." ”
Hong Chengchou was silent, and his heart was in turmoil at the moment. These days have been leisurely, giving up all the things before, not to mention, he really enjoys this time.
But Mao Wenlong is here, which means that his time has come to an end, and now he is facing the time to make a choice.
