"Is the news accurate?"
"Your Excellency, that's correct."
"Very good, let's do it tonight."
"Yes, sir!"
…
As night fell, darkness silently enveloped the entire capital.
At this moment, a group of men in black clothes and covered with black cloth sneaked out of the city from somewhere and headed in a certain direction.
They all wore a black long sword at their waist, with crescent-shaped patterns engraved on the hilt.
They quickly shuttled through a forest, and even when their feet stepped on the grass, they did not make any loud noises. The whole process was silent.
Even in the darkness of night, it could not hinder their actions.
“Who is it!?”
From a hidden forest somewhere, men in black clothes, also dressed in black, jumped out one after another, but there was no crescent moon mark on the hilts of the long swords in their hands.
The two forces immediately started fighting after a disagreement, and it didn't take long before a clear distinction between the upper and lower factions emerged.
The one that prevails is the crescent moon symbol engraved on the hilt.
After more than an hour, one side emerged victorious, catching the other side off guard and causing a heavy defeat, with most of their men killed or wounded.
The victorious party did not kill all the enemies. Instead, they picked up the coffin placed in front of the cave entrance and left quickly.
As soon as the man in black who had just carried the coffin away left, another group of people followed. Seeing the man in black lying on the ground, they immediately gave the order to kill him.
Don't leave any one behind.
"Sir, judging from the traces, they should have fled to the south and should not have gone far."
The person who was called "Sir" was none other than Ana Shen, who had rushed back overnight. The coldness in his eyes looked like a huge catastrophe to everyone, and even his subordinates couldn't help but shudder when they glanced at him.
"Chase."
"yes!"
The secret guards chased in one direction.
And Shen Yanjin, who was riding a white horse, looked around and his eyes fell on the only cave entrance. He pursed his thin lips. Just when his subordinates were about to ask him if he wanted to go into the cave to explore, he calmly withdrew his gaze and rode away on the white horse.
The subordinate didn't dare to say anything more and followed Hou Li away.
"You came back so quickly. I'm really not well prepared. But what can I do? The coffin was taken away by someone else."
In his opinion, even if the coffin was taken away by people from other countries, it would be far better than being taken away by traitors.
At least, if someone is kidnapped by another country, there is room for negotiation. As for traitors...
If he hadn't dodged quickly just now, it would have been difficult for him to escape the other party's detection.
"Sir, we have to split up into two groups. They are about to catch up."
The person called "Sir" nodded, cast a magic talisman, transformed into several other false figures, and then let those figures leave in another direction.
And the people chasing them naturally noticed this.
"They split into two groups."
"You guys go over there."
"Yes, my lord!"
Shen Yanjin rode the horse, twisted the hand holding the horse rein, and chased in the other direction.
He was so fast that he left the dozen or so men in black following him far behind.
With the help of the talisman, the speed almost doubled.
It didn't take long before I saw someone in front of me carrying a coffin and fleeing quickly.
Ana Shen narrowed his eyes, drew out his sword very rudely, stepped on the horse's back, and jumped!
"Leave the coffin behind."
"Oh no, he's caught up."
The men in black carrying the coffin were momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
Knowing he couldn't run away, he could only draw the long sword at his waist and prepare to fight.
"You go first, I'll hold him back!"
The men in black: "Sir..."
