"yes."

The subordinate who received the order was none other than Jingzhe's surviving assassin. Luckily, he was still in the capital's headquarters at the time, and upon receiving the news from An Ye, he immediately retreated, thus escaping the disaster. However, the assassin's eyes flashed with a hint of bloodshed at the thought of Murong Qingyu's men who had killed Jingzhe's brothers overnight.

He would never let go of such a good opportunity to fight back. He wanted to avenge his other brothers!

*************The dispute over the throne**************

In a village on the southeastern border close to the Dongxiang Kingdom, the men here make a living by hunting, animal husbandry and fishing, the women weave cloth to supplement the family income, and the children run around happily in the village.

Although this place is close to the national border and is sparsely populated, and even the government has no involvement here, the population of this village is unusually large.

Not only that, if you observe more carefully, you will find that although there are women and children in this village, they are very rare compared to men.

Moreover, the men here are all tall and strong, and they have thick calluses on their knuckles, probably because they have been using hoes all year round.

The entire village is located by the water, with houses arranged in an orderly manner. Men farm and women weave, and doors are left open at night, creating a prosperous scene.

A teacher was teaching a group of children in a private school. The sound of his reading filled the entire village with vitality. Men passing by as they worked would smile when they heard the sound of reading.

Suddenly, several flaming arrows streaked through the sky and hit the front door, side door, classroom door, ceiling, and flammable items placed nearby, breaking the harmony of the village.

The teacher who was teaching was stunned, and before he could stop them, the children were frightened by the sudden rocket-like arrows and screamed. They rushed towards the main gate, trying to escape and go home.

"Don't walk, don't run!" The gentleman's shouting was instantly drowned out by the children's screams.

A dozen black-clad, ghost-faced killers who seemed to have fallen from the sky landed in the yard, stood in front of the children, picked up the screaming children and flew out.

Most of the men in the village were at home at the moment. Those who lived close to the private school or passed by here immediately started yelling when they saw this scene.

Soon, the dozen or so men chasing after the man in black grew into hundreds of men. They chased the man in black all the way, shouting and yelling, and the original hundreds of men surrounded him, and in an instant, they grew into thousands or tens of thousands.

Looking at the men who swarmed over and lost their minds because they were worried about the safety of these children, each of them took out the knives and guns at home and looked like they were going to cut them into pieces, the killers under the ghost masks raised a triumphant smile.

The ghost-faced man held the child who had been struck unconscious by the attack and tied him to himself with a rope he had prepared in advance. He then quickly fled out of the village.

Even if the men in the village caught up with the ghost-faced men, or even if they ran into them face to face, they would not dare to attack them when they saw the children on their chests. They could only go around and hack and stab them from behind.

Even so, they didn't dare to use too much force because they were afraid of hurting the child!

These ghost-faced men are the lucky survivors of the "Jingzhe" (Awakening of Insects), and they hold a deep hatred for Murong Qingyu and his Murong Clan. Their master has sent them to avenge their brother, and even at the cost of their lives, they will bring this wave of Murong Clan soldiers to hell.

The ghost-faced man ran out of the village desperately.
