At night, in a valley five miles outside Wannian County Village.

Fifty masked assassins wearing night clothes were lying here.

The leader is a thin middle-aged man, who is the best kung fu around Cui Yan.

He used to be a captain in the army.

After quitting the army, he stayed with Cui Yan.

Killing is the easiest thing for him.

"All of you are doing well. The head of the family has an order. This time, the action against Zhao Chen is only allowed to succeed and not fail."

"At the first moment, we set out. All living things in the village were killed, and no one was left. Do you understand?" the middle-aged man shouted softly.

"I understand." Everyone responded in unison.

Everyone has a military crossbow arrow in their hands.

Although the Boling Cui family is not as good as before, these things can still be obtained.

However, seeing these things can also tell how much hatred Cui Yan has towards Zhao Chen.

"Sir, don't worry, then Li Ruoshuang's martial arts skills are no match for so many of us. Besides, we still have crossbow arrows. At that time, they will be stabbed into hedgehogs in a round of volleys." Some assassin looked relaxed and looked at him.

and the middle-aged leader said.

"I heard that Li Ruoshuang is a stunning beauty, but unfortunately, she will be killed tonight."

"Hehe, if we don't kill her, our mission will not be completed. The head of the family said that we must let Zhao Chen watch and everything he cares about disappear one by one before Zhao Chen dies."

"I'm right. I should be humiliated by our Boling Cui family in this way, so I must be prepared to die."

The assassins were a little excited, but they didn't look much nervous.

For them, the entire village was only about twenty families, and they could kill them all in one round trip.

The only thing that is troublesome is Li Ruoshuang.

But they brought crossbow arrows just to deal with Li Ruoshuang.

Under such circumstances, today's assassination result has long been destined.

"Stay for a while, don't be careless." The leading middle-aged man said lightly.

Everyone then calmed down.

...

"Brother Cui, do you really want to leave Chang'an overnight?"

Outside Chang'an City, several heads of aristocratic families looked at the large and small carriages of the Boling Cui family in front of them and sighed.

The leader of the dignified family was forced to leave Chang'an.

Who knows that the Boling Cui family today is not the future?

"Everyone, the operation was successful tonight. Regardless of whether there is any evidence or not, the emperor will definitely be furious. Staying in Chang'an, I will never escape."

"The foundation of my Boling Cui family is still there. If he leaves Chang'an, he will not send people to Boling to chase me."

"I don't know when I will meet again today. If I have the chance in the future, I will have a drink and chat with my brothers again." Cui Yan smiled and bowed to several heads of aristocratic families.

"Brother Cui, the journey is smooth!"

"Brother Cui, walk slowly!"

Several heads of aristocratic families bowed to Cui Yan.

Cui Yan turned around and the carriage, and the convoy slowly moved forward and walked towards the official road.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the head of the Kui family in Boling was forced to withdraw from Chang'an." The head of the Cui family in Qinghe said in a deep voice.

"None of us took Zhao Chen seriously at the beginning. We didn't expect that he would be attacked by him. We underestimated him."

"But fortunately, Zhao Chen is about to die today. Finally, he understood the resentment in our hearts. But he, the Boling Cui, should not think about coming back all these years."

"It's a bit inappropriate to leave this night." The head of the Cui family in Qinghe looked at Cui Yan's team that had disappeared at the corner and frowned.

"Why, are you still worried that they will encounter robbers on the way?" someone smiled.

"Haha, that's right, this is Chang'an. Some robbers have been wiped out by the army long ago. Don't worry." Someone also echoed.

"That's right, go back." The head of the Cui family in Qinghe nodded, his expression also calmed down.

...

"Sir, it's been a moment." In the valley, an assassin and a middle-aged man reminded.

"Well, go." The middle-aged man nodded.

Everyone jumped up and walked towards the village with a swagger.

They have explored the village before and are very familiar with the situation in the village.

It was midnight, everyone went back to rest.

It is impossible to meet people.

So they are not worried at all.

"Send the order and send thirty people to surround Zhao Chen's residence to prevent them from escaping, and the rest of the people will slaughter the entire village."

"Remember, the greater the movement, the better. The head of the family said that Zhao Chen must taste this torment." The middle-aged man said expressionlessly.

"Yes, sir!" Everyone answered.

Five miles away, and with the moonlight, everyone is not slow to walk.

Not long after, I saw the outline of the village appearing ahead.

Several low houses stand in front of them.

"Sir, these guys probably don't know why they died until they die." The assassin said to the middle-aged man with a relaxed face.

"Don't be careless, don't kill these farmers then." The middle-aged man said lightly, still expressionless.

"Hehe, don't worry, sir, these are just these rural guys..."

"puff--"

Before the assassin could finish his words, a sharp arrow pierced his throat, and blood squirted the middle-aged man in the lead.

"If there is an ambush, retreat!" The middle-aged man used to be a captain in the army. Such a sharp arrow would be impossible for ordinary people to shoot it.

Only soldiers in the army, and those elite, can have such a sharp arrow.

At the first moment, he knew that these people were ambushed.

If you do not retreat, you will definitely be wiped out here.

The other assassins never thought that those who were preparing to assassinate others were suddenly assassinated by others.

Looking at the suddenly falling companion and hearing the shouts of the middle-aged man in the lead, everyone was panicked.

Run desperately towards the direction I just came.

"Sir, how could there be an ambush?" an assassin asked in a panic look.

"I don't know, let's retreat first, and it's okay to retreat into the mountains." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

As an assassin, all you need is a killing one blow.

At this moment, they were already ambushed in advance, and I don’t know how many people there were on the other side. If they took action rashly, they would definitely be wiped out.

There was no scream behind him, and no arrows flew over, which made the leading middle-aged man feel very puzzled.

Since there is an ambush, why don’t the people behind you come to pursue?

But before he could come to his senses, he saw someone beside him fall to the ground.

Under the moonlight, the black armored war horse was blocking the front, and the leader was wearing black iron armor, and even his face was wrapped under a thick helmet.

A hard bow in his hand faces him.

"Sir, we are surrounded." An assassin surrounded the middle-aged man in the lead, his face full of panic.

A large number of iron-armored soldiers appeared in front of them, surrounding them in a circle.

The thick sound of iron hoofs came from behind.

Even if you have wings at this moment, you can't escape death.

"Sir, why is this happening? How could a cavalry appear?"

"What are these people coming from to protect Zhao Chen?"
