Chapter 16: The Slayer

Sure enough, on the second day of the first lunar month, Nie Mingshang and his servants refused to accept the silver gift from Feng Wuhen. Her words were very firm, "The concubine has no relatives and the son for no reason. He had already received your benefits when his father died. How dare I accept the gift again?" She said while wiping her tears, "If the young master is determined to only hope that you can return the concubine to justice. After a year of family, the husband will be the one who is not dead, and his heart is still unbearable, but the in-laws' family will expel the concubine from the house. The innocent concubine knows that the young master is a noble person, so he begs the young master to bring the concubine back to Beijing together!"

The words were very touching. Even Feng Wuhen felt that this woman was suspicious and felt thrilling in his heart. He was about to answer, but Xu Chunshu was ahead, "Miss Nie, my young master is in charge of important matters in the capital, so he is very likely to have to travel all night. You are weak and that Yuanwang is old, so it is so difficult to handle. If you can wait for a while, my young master will send someone to pick you up after entering the capital."

Xu Chunshu said this perfectly, and all the listeners praised it in their hearts, even Feng Wuhen felt it was reasonable. He coughed lightly and was about to follow the truth, but Nie Mingshang laughed bitterly and pulled out a dagger from his sleeve. Several guards thought she was about to take action, but immediately felt like they were facing a great enemy. Xu Chunshu rushed forward and wanted to take off the dagger in her hand. Unexpectedly, she pressed the dagger into her throat, completely begging for death.

"I am a slut, and I am a person who has lost my reputation. Therefore, I don't care about life and death. If I hadn't been determined to give justice to my husband's family and restore my Nie family's innocence, I am a slut that I would have died long ago and abandoned this stinky skin! If the young master is not satisfied, I will ask me to bring the slut to the capital to the capital, and it will be fine!" As she spoke, her slender hands moved slightly, and the shiny dagger had pierced the snow-like skin on her neck, and red blood was suddenly flowing out.

At this point, Feng Wuhen couldn't help but lament that he was not lucky. No matter whether this seemingly strong woman said true or false, he would definitely not let her go, otherwise it would be a life that would cause a person's life, even as a prince, he would not be able to escape. "Oh, Miss Nie, since you really have the will, let me go to Beijing with me, but the horses are limited, and maybe you and my subordinates have to ride together. In addition, this Yuanwang is old, so he might as well hire a car and let him go to Beijing slowly." He made up his mind not to let the old and young stay together, and while speaking, he paid attention to the expressions of the two.

The Yuan Bo's face was as usual, and he nodded slightly and agreed. However, Nie Mingshang's expression changed slightly, probably because he was a little embarrassed for the male and female riding together, but in a moment he showed a firm expression. As soon as she loosened her wrist, the dagger landed with a bang, and she also knelt down to the ground, "Young master, I am very kind to you, I can't repay you in this life. I just wish to bring you a grass and tie a ring to repay this kind of kindness in the next life!" After saying that, she had three sounds.

Feng Wuhen was suddenly treated with her great gift, and was immediately frustrated and quickly asked Mingjue to help her up. Before the two touched each other's skin, Nie Mingshang retreated uneasyly, stood up with a flushed face. Xu Chunshu laughed at her artificiality in his heart, but he was too lazy to expose it. The master of the stern master meant to place this woman and Mingjue together, so that he would not be afraid of her making any tricks. Could she still be able to make good use of someone who was once a top assassin?

Because Feng Wuhen did not even bring Xiao Fangzi with him this time, Nie Mingshang and Ming Jue rode together with one horse, and he looked uncomfortable. When the horses got out of his body, he exclaimed and fell softly in Ming Jue's arms. Not long after the group left the inn, Yuan Bo, who was originally carrying silver to hire a car, broke back, his eyes full of haze. With his years of experience, he could not tell that these two of them had been seen through. The other party deliberately sent him away, just for safety reasons.

"Smartness is wrong, but cleverness is wrong. It is important to know that the two of us are not responsible for the assassination mission!" Yuan Bo's originally turbid eyes instantly became extremely sharp. "Ming Shang has received the great kindness of the Lord, and I believe that it will definitely be useful in the future!"

Because it was almost close to the capital, the official road was more lively. From time to time, there were officers riding horses by, and even more people on the roadside became more and more common people. Xu Chunshu and others didn't care at first, but later they found that many people's eyes were full of hostility and their vigilance became higher. Later, the group was stopped by a group of officers, and they called them thieves, and they asked Feng Wuhen and others to get off the horse and get tested in a brutal tone. Qiu Qingyuan next to him took out his waist card in anger. Unexpectedly, it would be fine if he didn't show his identity. As soon as he showed his identity, the leader's officer whistled, and a group of officers surrounded him.

The headman shook the sea captain's document in his hand and said proudly: "The documents have been coming from Beijing, and the ones who are arresting you thieves who pretend to be officials! The people who come, take them all down! The sea captain's document said that you should hold a reward of 500 taels of silver, regardless of life or death!" This undoubtedly means killing without refusal. Feng Wuhen and others changed their faces. They never expected that someone would be so brave that they used the power of the government to intercept them. It seemed that the other party was not as simple as the Yin family, which had almost been destroyed. Several smart guards had already vaguely smelled the breath of the royal family.

Since the melee was about to break out, Xu Chunshu no longer had any concerns and shouted first: "Everyone blocked the way will be knocked down, let's talk about it, protect the young master first!" As soon as he saw the sea captain's document, he felt something was wrong, and he didn't know what obstacles there were, so he had to order a rush. Ming Jue rushed forward with one horse, and he was a murderous character. The sword in his hand blossomed from all directions like a poisonous snake, and in a blink of an eye, he knocked down a large area. Those servants usually caught the common people, but they could not withstand such chopping and killing. They shocked the vengeance of the people in front of them, and they all made way. Although silver rewards were important, they were not as good as their own life. The leader who was watching the battle was so angry that he stamped his feet.

However, he was not Fanjiao, and soon saw the weakness of Feng Wuhen and others. He shouted: "If you can't catch a person, chop the horse. If they have few people, they can't run far without horses! Knock down a horse and get ten taels of silver!" Although this reward is low, horses are much easier to deal with than people. The officers who were originally scared to death have strengthened their courage again. Sure enough, relying on the number of people, they successfully injured several horses, even if Feng Wuhen was protected in the middle, the famous horse under the seat couldn't bear to hurt and almost lifted him down his back.

At this time, everyone was regretting that if they had known the current danger, they should not have left the team. In their opinion, although the soldiers following Zhan Pohan were slower, at least they would not have the troubles of the present, no one expected that Feng Wuhen's opponent would have already calculated all their advances and retreats, and the plan was stable and ruthless, and even Zhan Pohan had encountered great trouble.

The guards who had only fought with the sword spine and the back of the sword no longer held back and used their tricks at the same time. In this way, the casualties of the officers were greatly affected, and the blood on the ground immediately made all the timid people dodge. Feng Wuhen and others barely broke out of the siege. However, including the horses, except for Feng Wuhen and Nie Mingshang, everyone was covered in blood. After all, they were few, so they could not stand up to greet so many weapons.

After galloping with the injured horse for several miles, everyone was considered to have truly broken through the encirclement. Several guards carefully helped Feng Wuhen get off the horse. Just as they were about to take a breath, a sudden change occurred. A large stone on the side of the road suddenly shattered, and countless tiny stones fell on everyone's heads like a covering of the sky and the sun. Before the guards could move, a brilliant sword light rushed towards them.

No one can describe that speed, which is a miracle that human power cannot reach; no one can describe that light, which is a suffocating deathly cold light; no one can describe that momentum, which is a kind of heroic look down on everything. Everyone's eyes are only that sword light, and when the sword comes out, his heart is cold.

However, not everyone would just stare blankly. As early as when he saw the gorgeous sword light, Ming Jue stepped in front of Feng Wuhen, and his eyes were brightly lit up against the enemy. He didn't see how he acted, but just slashed with a slanted palm. The dazzling light dimmed a little, and even heard the assassin's light exclamation. Ming Jue also groaned at the same time, but he forced himself to support himself without retreating. Although he just stopped it, that was enough. Xu Chunshu and others who were captured by the sword light just now rushed forward. After all, they were all rare masters and quickly forced out the figure under the sword light.

It was a tall and thin man in black. Although he could not see his face with a black cloth cover, the murderous aura exposed his identity. Although he was facing many good swords, his figure was extremely agile. He could escape from the sharp blade at critical moments, and his sword skills were extremely extraordinary. Therefore, Xu Chunshu and others could only trap him. Ming Jue had already retreated coldly. His responsibility was to protect Feng Wuhen, and the rest of the matter was second. He still remembered the danger just now, so he would never dare to take the risk.

After several attacks, the man in black slowed down. He was like a flash in the pan and was no longer seen. Just when everyone thought he was ready to go, his figure became hazy again. After a few turns, he fought with a few deep wounds on his body and finally successfully approached the place closest to Feng Wuhen. Although he saw Ming Jue and Leng Su, he still shot a hidden weapon without hesitation with the technique of raining flowers in the sky. Then, he did not look at the result and shot a hook rope directly to a big tree in the distance, and flew out a very far away with the force. He could not see any figures after several ups and downs.
