Under the night sky, two figures covered in blood hurriedly ran to Jiangbei City and landed on the city wall. They turned around and looked at the darkness behind them. Then, they sat there paralyzed and gasped for breath.
Here, they were finally safe.
"Who are you?" The two of them jumped onto the city wall and immediately alerted the guards and patrolling winged cavalry warriors.
"I'm Shan Yu from Qingjiang Sect. I was ordered by Sir Ren to investigate the Wang Estuary. Inform Sir Ren that we were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. Only the two of us escaped! There were people chasing us before, but they retreated when we were close by. "
The soldiers on the city wall didn't dare to delay and quickly arranged for someone to inform the guards. Three patrolling winged cavalry warriors jumped off the wall and rushed into the darkness. They returned without success after a while.
"Ambushed? Only two of them managed to escape? " Ren Baqian had already laid down in his room to rest when he suddenly heard the news from the guards. He hurriedly put on his clothes and went out.
"Where are they?"
"On the southern wall. I've already sent someone to bring them here," Gong Zheng said beside Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian's face was gloomy. How could they be ambushed with more than 30 Earth Wheel experts and Zuo Cheng? Furthermore, only two people escaped?
Did they just stand there and let others kill them?
What about Zuo Cheng?
After walking around the courtyard a few times, Ren Baqian's gloomy face gradually calmed down.
It seemed that the other party was well prepared. When he and the others arrived at Jiangbei, they were already prepared and set up a trap for him to fall into.
Fortunately, he had arranged for these people to investigate. If the winged cavalry had gone, there would have been many casualties even if they won.
Even so, he still felt the pinch as these people were still very useful to him. Putting aside the idea of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he still counted on these people to appease the people.
After all, they were the local tyrants of Tianjing Basin, and it would be much easier for them to appease the people.
However, there were so many casualties now. How could he not feel the pinch?
After waiting for a while, someone informed him, "Sir, they are here."
"Bring them to the front hall," Ren Baqian said as he walked toward the front hall.
By the time he arrived, he already saw two people covered in blood and injuries standing there.
"Sir Ren, we were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. Only the two of us managed to escape." One of them stepped forward upon seeing Ren Baqian enter, and his tone was filled with anger and grief. "Sir Ren, please avenge us!"
Ren Baqian glanced at the two of them. He had some impression of the person who spoke. He was an expert from the south. Because of his pair of peach blossom eyes, Ren Baqian had a deep impression of him.
After all, a big man with an unshaven beard and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes looked strange no matter how one looked at it.
"What's your name?" Ren Baqian asked coldly.
"Sir Ren, I'm Shan Yu from Qingjiang Sect," the man replied.
Ren Baqian nodded and asked, "What exactly happened? How did you get ambushed? How many people did they have? Where is Zuo Cheng? "
"There's a traitor among us. He lured us into the ambush." Shan Yu's expression was twisted and ferocious as he gritted his teeth.
"Who is it?" Ren Baqian asked sternly, his entire body overflowing with murderous intent.
The ferocious look on Shan Yu's face disappeared and was replaced by a smile. His figure flashed, and he slapped his palm toward Ren Baqian's forehead.
"It's me!"
Ren Baqian's expression changed drastically. Shan Yu was only three meters away from him. For an Earth Wheel expert, this was a distance that could be covered in the blink of an eye.
Ren Baqian could only watch helplessly as the hand got closer and closer to him. He could even feel the wind blowing against his face. He could imagine what would happen to him if this palm hit him.
He definitely wouldn't look any better than Sachima.
His brain was warning his whole body, but his body couldn't move at all.
He finally realized that the human brain's reaction was much faster than the body's, especially in a life and death crisis like this.
However, it was useless. Even though countless thoughts were going through his mind, his body couldn't keep up with the current reaction.
"F * ck! I was too careless! "Ren Baqian gritted his teeth. Who did I offend? Why am I always getting assassinated?
As he was thinking about this, he saw from the corner of his eye that a man covered in blood not far away from him almost at the same time as Shan Yu. The man raised his hands, and between the gaps of his hands were six daggers. He blocked Gong Zheng, who realized that something was amiss and was rushing over.
"Courting death!" Gong Zheng bellowed anxiously. If Ren Baqian was assassinated, he would be finished.
He gathered all the strength in his body, completely disregarding the daggers in his opponent's hands, and threw a punch at Shan Yu.
However, Shan Yu had already made the first move. Seeing that his palm was about to land on Ren Baqian's head, Gong Zheng could only avenge Ren Baqian.
Shan Yu felt the wind from the punch behind him, but a smile appeared on his face.
He came here with no intention of going back alive.
His senior wasn't afraid of death and used his own head to exchange for this opportunity. What did he have to fear?
As long as he killed this person in front of him …
At this moment, Shan Yu felt a little regretful.
The ambush on the mountain was originally prepared for the winged cavalry, but Ren Baqian's sudden arrangement of these people to investigate messed up their plans. If they allowed them to investigate, the arrangements that they had made would inevitably be exposed.
As a last resort, they had no choice but to change their target. After this incident, he was also exposed. Therefore, he took advantage of the opportunity to assassinate Ren Baqian before those people escaped back.
In the eyes of the southern volunteer army, Ren Baqian was Qi Zixiao's number one evil dog, and he was even more dangerous than Xi Wanya. It was precisely his proposal to pledge allegiance that caused the entire south to be in a state of panic and unrest among the various sects.
Unfortunately, he was pitifully weak, and assassinating him was the easiest way to succeed.
Without him, the pledge of allegiance naturally couldn't be carried out. The aboriginals' ruthless style would presumably incite the resistance of the entire Tianjing Basin. Even those who had surrendered previously would rebel again. At that time, the southern volunteer army's chances of winning would increase greatly.
Shan Yu's thoughts were all flashing in a flash. With a smile on his face, his palm was about to hit Ren Baqian's head. He could already see the scene of Ren Baqian dying under his palm. Presumably, Qi Zixiao would go crazy, right?
He suddenly wanted to laugh out loud and opened his mouth, but the next second, the sharp pain in his hand caused his eyes to widen, and his laughter got stuck in his throat.
He saw the tip of a spear drilling out from the top of Ren Baqian's head and directly piercing through his palm.
An iron chain wrapped around his hand along with the spear, and then wrapped around his neck before wrapping around his body. It was like a giant python wrapping around him tightly.
"Heaven-grade weapon? Spirit Wheel? How is this possible? " Shan Yu opened his mouth wide and wanted to shout, but before he could speak, Gong Zheng's fist had already landed on his body.
The sound of bones breaking could be heard as Shan Yu smashed through the wall like a cannonball.
Gong Zheng had six wounds on his body, and blood was spurting out.
When the Earth Wheel expert who had just injured Gong Zheng saw the golden patterned spear and the iron chain, he was shocked and shouted out what Shan Yu wanted to shout, "Heaven-grade weapon? Spirit Wheel? How is this possible? "
When Mount Wu besieged the empress, almost everyone had seen Ren Baqian, but no one knew that he was actually a Spirit Wheel expert and had condensed a Heaven-grade weapon!
One had to know that other things could be deceived, but Heaven-grade weapons couldn't!
"Die!" Gong Zheng was ecstatic as his huge body waved his arm and swept toward that person.
That person's face was filled with horror. Without saying anything, he fled to the courtyard and ran out of the courtyard.
"Kill him!" Ren Baqian was still in shock and subconsciously shouted. Then, he shouted again, "Let him go."
Just now, he was almost smacked into the scene of a car accident, causing his heart to almost stop beating. The moment the iron chain and the spear appeared, his heart began to beat at a speed that was as if it was about to explode.
After shouting "Kill him," he suddenly realized a problem. Letting this person go was a good opportunity.
How many times had he been assassinated by assassins every day and every month? Did they think that he was easy to bully?
Spirit Wheel experts were almost at the peak of this world. Except for the top few experts, it was almost impossible to assassinate a Spirit Wheel expert. Ren Baqian wanted to borrow Gong Zheng's mouth to spread the news that he was a Spirit Wheel expert. Who would dare to assassinate him then?
Others could play the pig to eat the tiger, but he couldn't. In terms of strength, he was a f * cking pig …
As long as his strength hadn't increased to a certain level, there would always be all kinds of people who had designs on him. There might even be his accomplices among the surrendered practitioners in the city! If he didn't want this to happen again, he might as well play the tiger to eat the pig …
