After watching the fierce horse neigh a few times and then start shaking its four hooves, Shen Yong curled his lips into a smile and slapped the horse on its back.
The wild horse felt pain and immediately ran away.
Chen Yong immediately tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and ran around the group of palace guards twice.
After two laps, the wild horse's pace gradually slowed down, and after baring its nose twice, it stopped in front of the palace guards.
"Boss Shen, all the palace guards have taken the Seven-Day Heartbreak Powder."
Sun Ren trotted to Shen Yong's horse and handed the remaining half bottle of pills to Shen Yong.
Chen Yong lowered his eyes to look at Sun Ren, reached out to take the medicine bottle and put it in his arms, his eyes swept over the imperial guards with pale faces,
"Everyone, get on your horses and go!"
A moment later, the high-spirited official rode in front and led the way, followed by the calm-looking women of the Shen family, followed by Shen Yong with a smile on his face, and at the end was a group of palace guards with worried faces.
A group of people left the post station in a mighty procession.
Ran Xiangyu witnessed the entire process of Chen Yong subduing the palace guards. Looking at the corpses on the ground, her inner fear reached its peak.
Thinking of what she had said before in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, she wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it right now.
She regrets it so much. If she had known Chen Yong was so capable, she would never have canceled the engagement no matter what she said.
Ran Xiangyu lay on Nanny Zhang and didn't dare to move.
The fear and regret in her heart intertwined together, causing her head to throb.
The postmaster waited until the sound of horse hooves faded away, then walked out of the post station with shaking legs, supported by the waiter.
Seeing the corpses scattered on the ground at the entrance of the post station, he instantly collapsed to the ground...
........
“What the hell is going on!?”
Xie Feiyang stared at the corpses at the entrance of the post station with wide eyes, and his hands holding the reins couldn't help shaking.
He came an hour late, and this place became a hell on earth?
Xie Feiyang's horrified eyes swept over the corpses one by one, and when he saw the man in black, his eyes trembled.
Isn't this the man in black who is good at using hidden weapons and protects the Shen family?
Could it be that Jiang Weida has already wiped out the entire Shen family?
That’s not right. He didn’t meet Jiang Weida on his way back here.
This is the only way back to the capital.
There were so many people and horses, it was impossible for him not to see them.
"Sigh~hum~"
The grunting sound of a group of horses not far from the corpse caught Xie Feiyang's attention.
He frowned and looked over. These horses—
"Sir, something has happened, something terrible has happened!"
At this moment, the postmaster who was slumped at the door saw Xie Feiyang and his group, and rushed to Xie Feiyang, crawling and howling.
Judging from their attire, these people were obviously the personal guards of the ministers in the capital, and he was very familiar with their clothing.
Originally, he didn't know how to deal with this matter, but just as this group of people came, he decided to leave it to them.
Anyway, no matter what positions these people hold in the capital, they are all higher than his position as a small postmaster.
The ghostly screams of the postmaster frightened the personal soldiers behind Xie Feiyang so much that their hair stood on end and their hands unconsciously grasped the swords at their waists.
Xie Feiyang looked at the postmaster with snot and tears all over his face, and his heart trembled suddenly.
He frowned and looked at the postmaster who was shaking like a sieve.
"Tell me, what happened here?"
Judging from the number of dead people on the ground, they should be the imperial guards led by Jiang Weida.
Could it be that the two men in black were so powerful in martial arts that they could kill so many palace guards by themselves?
There is only one man in black lying on the ground. Does that mean another man in black ran away?
Xie Feiyang thought about it carefully and seemed to have seen some bloodstains on the way here, but he didn't see anyone.
That person hid in the roadside ditch?
Yicheng raised his hand to wipe the snot and tears from his face, and said with a sob,
"Sir, wuu ...
"I don't know where the masked men came from, but they surrounded the post station and started killing people right away—"
"They've got everyone in the post station mixed up. It sounds like they're here to look for the exiled prisoners being escorted by the escort officers—"
The postmaster spoke ambiguously, picking out some key words.
He thought carefully about the fact that those masked men were palace guards, but still didn't dare to say it out loud.
This kind of thing is a disgrace to the royal family. If the higher-ups need to cover their mouths, wouldn't it be-----
"Where are the prisoners being transported?"
Xie Feiyang directly focused on the key points of the inquiry and was too lazy to care about the dead people.
It would be better for the postmaster to report this matter. It would be inappropriate for him to get involved in it, and it would be difficult to explain if the higher-ups asked about it.
He only needed to know whether Shen Yong was dead or alive. If the Shen family was destroyed, his mission would be indirectly completed.
The postmaster looked at Xie Feiyang in astonishment.
This-----If you don't care about the dead imperial guards, why do you care about the prisoners?
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, from the noises at the entrance of the post station, it seemed that the surviving imperial guards had followed the Shen family.
This is a big deal.
The postmaster lowered his eyelids, feeling very nervous. He didn't know whether he should tell the emperor about the palace guards' betrayal or not.
If the man in front of him was in cahoots with the imperial guards, he might be killed with a single blow in order to protect those imperial guards who had turned against him.
Thinking of this, the postmaster shuddered all over and said quickly,
"The Shen family prisoners who were brought by the escort officers escaped early."
"Run away!?" Xie Feiyang widened his eyes in shock and looked at the postmaster in disbelief.
Jiang Weida brought so many imperial guards to hunt down the Shen family, but they actually let them escape?
Useless trash. So many palace guards died at the hands of two men in black, and one of them even escaped.
"......Uh, yes!" Yicheng took a deep breath and nodded with an evasive look.
"The masked man and the man in black started fighting, and then --"
He was not talking nonsense. The masked man was indeed the first to fight with the man in black.
Fight from the back of the post station all the way to the front of the post station.
When Xie Feiyang heard this, it was just as he had guessed. He felt both relieved and annoyed.
Fortunately, he did not confront the man in black head-on, otherwise he would have been the one to die.
What’s annoying is that the Shen family members haven’t been killed yet, and he has to continue hunting them down.
There was a man in black with the Shen family. He brought ten personal soldiers with him, and it was unclear whether he could win the battle.
"Is there anyone else who wants to help the Shen family?"
Xie Feiyang was worried and asked again.
If there were other people helping the Shen family besides the man in black, he would have to think twice about whether to slow down his pursuit.
He doesn't want to be the mantis, if he wants to be someone, he'd rather be the oriole.
There are only eleven of them, and they can't beat anyone, so they just come here to take advantage of the situation.
Also, there was clearly an expert helping them deal with the men in black, so why didn't that expert take action at the critical moment?
