Chapter 70 Where did this brute come from!
Upon closer inspection, everyone noticed that the man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes had his appearance marred by a thick beard around his chin.
"Xu Yifei?"
Gao Minglang was stunned for a moment.
Weren't they trapped in Yangguan County?
"Lord Gao? Hey, I've been waiting for you in the city for ages. How did you end up locked up here in such a sorry state?"
Xu Yifei stood at the doorway, like a wild beast, blocking the cold wind coming from outside.
"Why is he here?"
The assassin who returned from the city gate was shocked.
At that moment, the intermittent voices of others could be heard from outside the door.
"Big brother, we, cough cough, we can't stop him!"
There were at least six of them left outside the city, plus two guarding the gate, making a total of eight, yet they couldn't stop a brute who knew nothing about martial arts.
The leader suddenly stepped forward, shielding the others behind him.
"Hurry up and do it, I'll take care of him!"
The leader was the most skilled fighter among them, and upon seeing this, the others immediately drew their knives and attacked!
Xu Yifei knew that he was no match for them in terms of martial arts.
He picked up the door panel that had been smashed through, shouted loudly, and charged straight forward with the plank in his hand!
Seeing this, the assassin leader dodged the attack and swung his broadsword at Xu Yifei!
"Swish swish!"
Several flashes of cold light appeared, and the assassin leader was shocked. He rolled to the side, barely dodging the hidden arrows.
"Knock knock knock!"
The arrow struck the wooden pillar behind him.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that the assassin actually belonged to their organization!
"Idiot, you shot your own men!"
He shouted angrily, and then another arrow was thrown at the house!
The assassin leader then realized that the hidden arrow was aimed at them!
"Damn it, the hidden blade has been stolen! Watch out!"
One of them was unable to dodge in time and was immediately shot!
"Well!"
The assassin dodged to the side, clutching the wound on his arm, his face extremely pale.
Being wounded by a sneak attack from one's own organization is incredibly shameful if word gets out!
Those nearby took one look and their expressions changed drastically.
"Oh no, the arrow is poisoned!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw blood flowing from between the fingers, gradually turning black!
It's really toxic!
"Quickly take the antidote pill!"
Before the assassin could even take the antidote pill from his sleeve, the man's pupils constricted and he fell backward!
The assassins: ?!
The person next to him stepped forward and put his fingertip under his nose.
He's really dead!
The poison took effect so quickly that there wasn't even time to take the antidote—it was terrifying!
While the assassins were busy dealing with the hidden arrows, Xu Yifei had already torn off the ropes binding everyone.
"Run!"
Xu Yifei brought over the official swords that the assassins had confiscated and threw them all to Luo Qing and the others.
At this critical juncture, whoever can save him is his father!
Luo Qing disregarded the fact that Xu Yifei was also an exiled criminal and shoved one of the knives into his hand.
"Walk!"
But to my surprise, they didn't want it.
"This thing is getting in my way!"
Xu Yifei disdainfully shoved his sword back into Luo Qing's hand, then rushed out again, holding the door panel.
All the officers and constables: ...
Who says he's not a reckless brute? Isn't being this reckless enough?!
"Never mind that, let's go!"
Luo Hao took a deep breath and roared, drawing everyone's attention back to him.
Xu Yifei, holding the door panel, lunged forward and pinned the assassin firmly under the panel.
"Run!"
Upon seeing this, a group of people immediately began to rush out, including Xu Qingshi and Wu Lianzhen.
The two of them dodged left and right, following behind the crowd, and escaped in the chaos.
Seeing everyone escape, Xu Yifei jumped up and stomped down hard.
With a "crack," it was unclear whether it was the wooden board breaking or the assassin's bones snapping.
He turned and ran outside, shouting as he ran, "Come with me!"
The officials didn't care about anything else and ran after Xu Yifei.
The assassins helped each other to their feet and lifted the broken door panel.
Only then did they see that one of their brothers was already dead beneath the door panel.
"Damn it, is Xu Yifei a reincarnation of a bear-man?"
In all their years as assassins, they'd never seen anyone so difficult to kill!
"Boss, what do we do now?"
The others clutched their chests, feeling an unbearable tightness in their chests.
"What can you do? Those poisoned arrows are waiting for you to get out!"
The assassin leader rubbed his chest, his mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood.
"But we've already fallen out with the Gao family. If we go back now, we're finished!"
As mentioned above, only those who are confident of success in one fell swoop should take action.
They originally thought killing these people would be a piece of cake, but unexpectedly, Xu Yifei suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
The others dared not speak, for it was they who led Xu Yifei here.
Xu Yifei is terrifying. Who would have thought that even with their lightness skills, they couldn't shake off this terrifying brute!
"Boss, I suspect that Xu Yifei is playing dumb! Everyone in the capital says he doesn't know martial arts."
He's a hot-tempered brute, a brainless idiot, but judging from these two assassination attempts, Xu Yifei's skills are no less than ours!
"Go back and report this, and have the organization send their top personnel!"
The assassin leader's face darkened.
This is truly shameful; we went back without killing anyone!
"Hehe, my son is really amazing!"
A silly chuckle came from the corner, startling everyone.
"Who goes there!"
Looking in the direction of the sound, they discovered that there was an old woman hiding in the corner!
"Xu Yifei is really ruthless, he doesn't even care about his own mother?"
"I heard that the current matriarch of the General of the Nation's mansion is his second wife!"
"No wonder, tsk, what a pity, otherwise we could have used this woman to threaten them!"
"Hey, that's not how it works. I heard the Xu family is quite filial. Could it be that Xu Yifei hasn't realized that his mother has gone mad and hasn't run away?"
The assassin leader stepped forward, only to find Old Madam Xu staring blankly at them, showing no fear whatsoever.
"Tie him up first."
Wei Jingchen and Lu Xun, who were outside, calculated the time and figured that Xu Yifei and the others should have already gone far away. To avoid any unforeseen complications, they quickly turned around and left.
Returning to the South Gate, without the instigating assassins, Zhu Tao quickly led his men to suppress the riot.
The city gates were wide open, and Zhu Tao personally led a small team to transport tents out of the city.
"Boss, the eldest son of the Xu family is back with his men!"
When his men reported this, Zhu Tao immediately ordered the others to continue setting up camp, while he went to meet Xu Yifei.
"Young Master Xu!"
From a distance, one could see Xu Yifei leading a group of people, most of whom were dressed as government officials.
"This is?"
Zhu Tao looked behind him in confusion.
"Luo Qing of the Dali Temple!"
Having been tormented these past few days, Luo Qing looked so disheveled that Zhu Tao didn't recognize him at first glance.
"So it's Brother Luo! With refugees crowding the city's outskirts, I'm afraid we can't let you in."
"Why don't you set up camp outside the city first? I'll go back and report to Lord Yang before making a decision!"
"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Zhu!"
Although Luo Qing was under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple, he was just a minor escort officer.
Faced with the local official's capable assistant, Luo Qing naturally had no choice but to accept the arrangement.
But the next second, he saw Xu Yifei casually following Zhu Tao toward the city gate.
"etc!"
