In fact, when the clerk followed the grain carts to the city gate, for a fleeting moment, he wanted to sneak away. But then he thought, even if he ran, where could he go? If he were wanted nationwide, the punishment he would suffer would be even more severe. It would be better to just stay put and wait until they came looking for him.

The Imperial Guard's attendant, who specialized in interrogating assassins from the Assassin's Guild, knew that there was a branch of theirs in Yun'an County. He quickly went to ask Zheng Boyuan whether they should go and raid it. Zheng Boyuan thought about it and told the attendant to take more brothers with him. Zheng Boyuan had heard that the people from the Assassin's Guild would accept a mission, and if the previous person failed, someone else would take it on until the mission was completed. They were like mad dogs chasing after people and biting them, which was disgusting.

Zheng Boyuan, having gritted his teeth and made the final decision, decided to simply wipe out the assassin's den in Yun'an County. No matter how powerful they were, could they possibly be more powerful than the state apparatus? He ordered a guard from the Imperial Guard to lead several dozen men directly to the branch of the assassin's den in Yun'an County.

After receiving the letter in the middle of the night, Wu Muyue dared not delay. He was worried about leaving people at home, so he simply brought them all to Zhoujia Village. Even Xu Zhi was instructed to bring simple luggage. Wu Muyue had a premonition that this little-known Zhoujia Village would soon become the focus of attention for various forces, and that was why this place would be the safest.

Wu Muyue naturally knew what kind of organization the Assassin's Guild was. Logically, such an organization shouldn't exist within the territory of Daliang. However, for some reason, this organization, which didn't appear to ordinary people, had continued to exist for so many years. The jobs they took were all extremely difficult, and most importantly, they charged exorbitant fees. Wu Muyue had always felt that there must be a powerful figure behind this organization. Now, Wu Muyue had narrowed down his suspects considerably. He felt that this time, he might be able to uproot this organization from Daliang.

Xu Zhi was startled when she received the letter. Fortunately, Bai Ying and the others were prepared. They brought a few tents, some personal belongings, and a few simple items. They hurriedly boarded the carriage that was already parked at the gate.
