Feng Zhiyao lowered his head to look at Guan Ren, who had been tied up tightly by his whip. He used his fan to prop up his chin and smiled from ear to ear. "Isn't this settled? We'll take this Guan guy away. You just need to go back and report the truth. Don't worry, he won't be coming back. "
The soldiers hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they still opened up a path. Originally, Guan Ren had not obtained the approval of General Jing Bian, the commander stationed in the Southwest. Instead, he had received Mo Jingqi's secret edict to act in secret. Therefore, if they went back and reported that Guan Ren had been taken away, General Jing Bian would not punish them. This way, they would not have to fight with the Prince Ding Mansion. It was the best of both worlds. The soldiers felt satisfied, but Guan Ren did not feel the same way. Guan Ren naturally understood the meaning behind Feng Zhiyao's words. If he was really taken away by Prince Ding, his life would be over. "You dare! When this general returns, I will definitely report this to the Emperor and have all of your families executed! "It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he finished speaking, the soldiers retreated even faster. The deputy at the very back even cupped his hands towards Feng Zhiyao and the others. "This matter concerns the lives of several thousand of our soldiers. I ask that Prince take the trouble to deal with this." Mo Xiuyao narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I will not implicate you." The deputy was delighted. "Many thanks to Prince."
Seeing the Da Chu State soldiers retreat, Feng Zhiyao held Guan Ren and turned around to ask, "Prince, should we leave this place first?" Several thousand soldiers had entered the city. Such an important matter could not be concealed. It was better for them to leave this place first.
Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "If you've eaten, then let's leave."
The group of people dragged Guan Ren, who had been turned into a dumpling, out of the city. While they were still at the inn, Guan Ren had been cursing non-stop. Feng Zhiyao found his cursing unbearable and casually picked up a rag from the table and stuffed it into his mouth. Guan Ke's eyes rolled back from the greasy cloth and she could only whimper.
Less than ten miles out of the city, Qin Feng, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. The people behind him naturally stopped as well, vigilantly watching everything around them. Qin Feng sneered and said, "Come out. You can't even hide properly, yet you still want to follow others and launch a sneak attack?" Before his voice died away, several sharp arrows whizzed towards Qin Feng. Qin Feng didn't even bother to get off the horse. He sat sideways on the horse's back and dodged the arrow. Many black-clothed and masked figures jumped out from the trees on the surrounding hillsides. Feng Zhiyao leaned against Zhuo Jing and muttered to himself. "I knew that this trip to Nanzhao would not be so satisfying. But … is it really okay to wear black clothes and cover your face for half the day? "In broad daylight, what color was more eye-catching than black? The corners of Zhuo Jing's mouth twitched. He distanced himself from Feng Zhiyao and said coolly, "Assassins usually like to wear black clothes and cover their faces."
"Nonsense. The Yanwang Chamber has so many assassins. When have you ever seen them wear black clothes and cover their faces?" Feng Zhiyao retorted. The Yanwang Chamber was known as the number one assassin organization in the world, but they never wore uniforms. This meant that uniform clothing was more harmful than beneficial to an assassin organization.
"Third-rate assassins," Zhuo Jing said calmly.
Listening to Feng Zhiyao and Zhuo Jing's mocking and ridiculing each other, the atmosphere that should have been austere and tense became inexplicably funny. Although the expressions of the black-clothed assassins could not be seen because their faces were covered, their eyes that seemed to emit fire was enough to show their anger. Feng Zhiyao smiled and looked at the assassins across from him. He smiled carelessly and said, "Actually, other than third-rate assassins, there is another kind of person who must cover their faces in broad daylight."
Ye Li asked with a smile, "What kind of person?"
Feng Zhiyao smiled and said, "People who can't be seen. For example … imperial bodyguards!"
The assassins were silent, but they still couldn't hide the astonishment in their eyes. Mo Xiuyao stepped forward and looked at the assassins surrounding him with his hands behind his back. He smiled coolly and said, "Imperial bodyguards? Mo Jingqi's actions are just to cover up his name. It's really unnecessary. " Feng Zhiyao smiled and said, "Isn't that so? Our Prince Ding Mansion has already cut off all ties with the Da Chu State. If Mo Jingqi wants to kill our Prince, he can just directly send people over. Isn't it good just like what happened in the city? Why does he have to be so sneaky? However … "
Qin Feng said coldly, "We will think that the Da Chu State wants to provoke the Mohist army."
The assassins hesitated. The leader pointed his blade at Mo Xiuyao and said harshly, "Prince Ding ye, there's no need to say more. We are here on orders. If we can't bring back the Prince and Wang Fei's heads, our own heads will fall to the ground. Sorry for the offense! "With that, he waved his saber and everyone pounced on Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao's expression was indifferent. He casually flicked his sleeve and a strong wind blew two assassins to the side. Once Mo Xiuyao moved, the others naturally would not stay idle. Instantly, the quiet road was filled with the sounds of fighting.
The few assassins besieged Mo Xiuyao but to no avail. With a thought, they turned their target to Ye Li, who was protected in Mo Xiuyao's embrace with one hand. Four assassins worked together to use all their strength to divert Mo Xiuyao's attention. The other two assassins took the chance to point their swords at Ye Li. Ye Li was being protected by Mo Xiuyao and could not move. Seeing that the two swords were about to hit Ye Li, the assassin holding the swords was overjoyed. But his body suddenly froze. He felt his chest light up. The Princess Ding who had been in Mo Xiuyao's arms had disappeared. There was a cold dagger in his chest. A slender hand gripped the hilt of the dagger and pulled it out without hesitation. Instantly, blood spurted out. The assassin who slowly fell down looked with blurry eyes at the beautiful and gentle Ding Wang Fei who was like the most elegant young lady in the Chu capital holding a dagger that was stained with her own blood. She turned around to dodge another attack and like a light green wind, a thin red mark appeared on his companion's neck … …
Killing two people in the blink of an eye, Ye Li casually flicked the fresh blood off her dagger and frowned. These few years, she had not trained enough and her movements were not as nimble. It seemed that even though she had learned qinggong and neigong in this life, she would not be able to return to her peak state in her previous life. However … Ye Li lifted her head to look at Mo Xiuyao who had cleared out most of the assassins nearby. Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled. This life was different. Even if she could not return to her peak state, it did not matter, right?
After Mo Xiuyao cleared out the assassins near him and Ye Li, he did not make any more moves. The guards around them also automatically separated the assassins from the Prince and Princess Consort. Thus, Ye Li and Mo Xiufeng became the most leisurely people present, except for the occasional one or two that slipped through the net.
"They are stalling for time." Ye Li looked at the assassins surrounding the guards and said with a frown. Mo Xiuyao said lightly, "They probably did not expect that trash Guan Jie would let us out of that small town. They do not have enough people right now, so they can only stall for time. " If they wanted to deal with the guards of the Prince Ding Mansion, especially when there was Qi Lin among them, it would be impossible to deal with them without at least three to five times the number of people. The hundred or so people in front of them were not even enough to make them grind their teeth. Ye Li lifted her head to look at him and said, "You want to …"
