Chapter 10: A Small Group of Thieves

Fearing that the mysterious black-clad assassin would return, the group rested for a moment and set off for a mountain town closer to the city. Jiang Yuan and Li Gao hurried away, while carefully guarding the surroundings.

"Brother Li, you say, who sent the assassins?" Jiang Yuan had never encountered such a strong opponent, and at this moment, the enemy was dark and the situation was very unfavorable. Li Gao was also a little unsure, assassinating the soldier of the military department, it stands to reason that it was either the Dongchang killer or the Wara death, but this assassin was too strange and suddenly withdrew when he was about to succeed, which made Li Gao puzzled.

Li Gao said: "No matter who sent it, we must protect Lord Yu." Before dark, we must rush to Jozan Pass, where there are thousands of soldiers and horses, and it will be safe when we get there. The guards knew how powerful the Assassins were, and they quickened their pace.

Hurry up and hurry, everyone finally arrived at Dingshan Pass before dark, and the guards heard that Yu Qian was assassinated halfway, so they immediately transferred the elite soldiers to guard the palace, personally put on a strong and stubborn edge, and arranged for the soldiers to defend.

Night falls. Yu Qian and the guards expected that the assassins would come to attack tonight, so they laid a net and waited. Yu Qian sat in the hall and read by candlelight, and the door was open.

At the third watch, more than a dozen men in black climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard. Jiang Yuan went to draw the long sword with his backhand, but was unexpectedly pressed down by Li Gao behind him. At the same time, Li Gao signaled the guards in the shadows not to act rashly. Jiang Yuan was puzzled, and Li Gao whispered: "You and I don't want to make a move first, it is equivalent to adults tricking the origin of these people." Also, that person hasn't shown up yet, wait. Li Gao calculated, with the strength of the guards, coupled with the intention of calculating, it should be enough to deal with these people.

The assassins broke into the room, completely oblivious to Jiang Yuan and Li Gao, who were in ambush on the beams. Yu Qian raised his head and said calmly: "How much is my Yu Qian's head worth?"

The assassins were stunned for a moment, and walked out of a leader-like humane: "Lord Yu said that he laughed, how can the head of the soldier be measured by money?"

Yu Qian said: "Since you know that I am a soldier of the military department, how dare you assassinate me twice?"

The leader was stunned again, and said with a smile: "Twice? It seems that Lord Yu Qian has blocked the way of more than one person." ”

Jiang Yuan and Li Gao on the beam of the house were shocked, couldn't these two groups of people be in the same group?

Yu Qian is worthy of being the military servant of the imperial court, and the assassin is close in front of him, so he can still calmly pour himself a cup of tea: "Oh? Then tell me, whose way am I in the way? And who asked you to kill me?"

The assassin laughed, "You know who is in your way." As for who sent us, I'm afraid my lord can guess a few points. It's not too early, don't delay the time for adults to get on the road. After that, he waved his hand left and right, and motioned to his subordinates to step forward: "Send Lord Yu on the road!"

Yu Qian looked up to the sky and laughed, threw the cup in his hand on the ground, and said, "I'm afraid I can't let you get your wish!"

Yu Qian and the guards agreed to throw a cup, and at this time, dozens of guards walked out of the screen, the dark wall, and the alley, and Yu Qian was tightly protected in the center, and in turn surrounded the assassins. Hearing the movement in the palace, the guards who were ambushed outside the government raised torches one after another, surrounded the government office, and shouted for a while.

The Assassins found themselves in an ambush, but did not panic, and formed a formation of four and confronted the guards carefully, neither rushing to retreat nor to attack. Yu Qian sighed, these people are worthy of well-trained dead soldiers, and the people who take the lead are even calmer, and they don't show any panic in such a desperate situation.

Yu Qian said: "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know who your master is." With an embroidered spring knife on your waist, you are Wang Zhen's person, right?

The leader of the assassins looked at the Dao on his right hand and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency is really good-eyed, and your guess is not bad at all. However, the rules of our East Factory may not be known to adults, and when we perform tasks, once we are recognized, we must die. It's a pity that I've managed to get to where I am today, my lord, come and carry me back!" With that, he waved his long knife and rushed forward, and the assassins, not knowing whether they were motivated by the leader or knowing that they were dead, also rushed forward together, and fought with the guards.

The dead soldiers secretly cultivated by the East Factory are really extraordinary, and they are still fighting the trapped beasts under the siege of the guards. Depending on the situation, the guards will not be able to win in a short time.

Jiang Yuan was in a hurry to see the beam, and wanted to jump down several times, but Li Gao pulled him tightly, so he had to give up. Jiang Yuan was helpless, turned his head to Li Gao and said, "Brother Li, I don't think that mysterious assassin will appear, let's not wait, right?"

Li Gao stared at the battle situation tightly, and said: "At this time, the guards have the advantage, it is a matter of time before we take down the assassins, and it is the same if we can't make a move, but in case they have any backhand, we can also respond, brother, we have to calm down." Jiang Yuan smiled, a little disapproving.

Besides, at the moment, the guards have forced the dead soldiers of Dongchang to death, and they are about to be killed, the leader saw that the situation was critical, and suddenly shouted loudly: "If Mr. doesn't make a move, when will he wait?"

Jiang Yuan was shocked in his heart, and sure enough, as soon as the leader's voice fell, a black figure rushed in, and as soon as it appeared, more than ten guards were shocked, showing the master's style.

"It's coming!" Jiang Yuan waited for a night, and he was already impatient. Jiang Yuan knew that his opponent's martial arts were far above him, so he didn't dare to be careless, he only hoped that he could hold off the opponent and prevent him from supporting the dead soldiers of Dongchang or assassinating Yu Qian. Without waiting for Li Gao's cooperation, Jiang Yuan rushed to the man in black with an arrow step, and slashed the opponent's throat with a sword. The man in black was not surprised by Jiang Yuan, who suddenly came out, stretched out two fingers and clamped it steadily, effortlessly. Obviously, Li Gao's appearance was also expected by the man in black, only to see the long sword he was holding in his two hands pushed from the side, and the light side of his body made Li Gao hit the air. Li Gao struck the air, the empty door behind him was wide open, and Jiang Yuan immediately used his sword to force the enemy back, and the two cooperated seamlessly.

The man in black didn't know where to come from, and he always refused to use his own martial arts, but even so, under the siege of the two masters, he still attacked more and defended less, and he swayed freely with one move, and even forced Jiang Yuan and Li Gao to dodge again and again, which was quite embarrassing.

Although they fled in embarrassment under the hands of the man in black, Jiang Yuan and Li Gao were not worried, this person always refused to leak the details, he must have some scruples, and it was very likely that he was a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, and was pulled by Dongchang to act as a thug. The two teamed up to try their best to hold down the mysterious man in black, preventing him from interfering in the battle between the guards and the dead soldiers of Dongchang, and buying precious time for the guards to deal with the dead soldiers of Dongchang.

The two of them were fighting with a strong enemy, and when they had no time to take care of him, the guards behind them suddenly shouted: "Be careful, adults!" The two were taken aback, and when they looked back, the leader of the dead soldiers had killed the guards in front of them and had rushed to Yu Qian!

The two of them didn't care about the strong enemy in front of them, and hurriedly turned around to rescue Yu Qian, but the knife of the leader of the dead man had already been raised high, and they were about to be slashed by Yu Qian!

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan's ears sounded two swishing sounds of breaking the air, and the leader of the dead man suddenly splashed two blood flowers on his left leg and right arm, and fell to the ground fiercely! Jiang Yuan arrived, without thinking about it, he held the long sword in both hands, stabbed down in the heart after the leader of the dead man, and entered the ground for three points, and the leader of the dead man was silent immediately!

The two solved their worries, and the dead soldiers were all annihilated, and they were about to join forces to take down the man in black, but who knew that the man in black actually jumped out of the encirclement with three or two steps, and disappeared into the vast night in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yuan looked at the direction where the man in black went, suddenly remembered something, and turned back to ask Yu Qian: "My lord, this person's martial arts are so high, how can you escape his pursuit during the day?" Yu Qian was stunned and said, "You mean he can kill me during the day? I don't understand martial arts, so why doesn't he do it?" Jiang Yuan and Li Gao couldn't figure it out, Yu Qian twisted his beard and said: "This matter is still unclear, don't spread it first." The two nodded yes.

Jiang Yuan returned to the room, lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, as long as he closed his eyes, the figure of the leader of the dead soldiers and the appearance of the dead man dangled in front of him. Although Jiang Yuan has fought a lot, it is the first time to kill someone, and he has no time to be afraid when he makes a move, but at this time, in the dead of night, it is when the past strikes, Jiang Yuan is not afraid of the dead, but he can't help but be a little uneasy at this time.

People in the rivers and lakes will have to face these one day. Jiang Yuan thought silently.
