Chapter 147: On the Edge of Identity Exposure
“Whew!!!”
The shrill neighing of horses pierced the night sky.
Almost at the same time Wei Changtian shouted "Go", a black carriage suddenly rushed out of the alley and galloped forward along the empty street.
This is not to say that Zhang San's reaction was quick, but when the night wind blew, he, like Wei Changtian, also realized that something was wrong.
Although it was very faint, there was indeed a faint smell of blood in the wind!
"Sir."
In the constantly bumpy carriage, Ning Yuke, who still didn't know what was going on, widened her eyes and asked in a trembling voice: "What, what happened? Why are we running?"
"Has anyone in the palace discovered us?"
“We are going.”
"Shut up if you want to live!"
Wei Changtian didn't have the time to explain these things to Ning Yuke. After a loud shout, he slightly opened the car curtain and squinted to look out.
Sure enough, four dark shadows were following the car closely, climbing walls and flying over eaves. Judging from their reaction time, they must have been keeping an eye on them for a long time.
Damn it, how could this happen? These assassins had obviously succeeded in the palace, but why didn't they make any noise? Did Ning Qingyu have no experts under his command? Or had the strength of the assassins this time overwhelmed the palace guards? Wei Changtian couldn't figure out the connection for a moment, and the current situation didn't allow him to think about these irrelevant questions.
The most important thing right now is how to get out of this predicament! Calm down!
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to analyze the current situation rapidly.
First of all, these assassins probably didn’t know that Ning Yuke was in their car, otherwise they would never have sent only a few people to chase her.
Secondly, I should not have been exposed.
After all, this carriage was specially found by Zhang San to pick up Ning Yuke, and it had nothing to do with him.
In other words, the reason these people were chasing him was probably because they sensed something was wrong and they wanted to kill him to silence him just in case.
So here comes the question.
What should I do? Because he was going to Yanyun Mountain, Wei Changtian deliberately did not let the secret sentry follow him tonight, and only Zhang San was with him.
Can the two of them defeat the four assassins on the opposite side? Wei Changtian was unsure.
Or if it really doesn't work, flee to the Xuanjing Division or the government office? I'm sure that no matter how daring these assassins are, they wouldn't dare to act in such a place.
However, if he did so, his identity would inevitably be exposed. Ning Yongnian would easily find out that he was related to what happened tonight.
Wei Changtian absolutely did not want to see this happen. Moreover, judging from the noise outside the car, he would probably be caught up soon, and whether he would have time to escape to those two places was another matter.
Damn it, in that case. "Zhang San!"
Wei Changtian suddenly opened his eyes and ordered Zhang San who was driving:
"Find a small alley and turn in!"
“Swish, swish, swish!”
The night was as dark as ink, and the four men in black almost blended into the darkness.
Just as Wei Changtian guessed, they really didn't know who was sitting in the carriage, and they chased after them simply to kill them and silence them.
Even if they knew Wei Changtian was in the car, they might not even chase him.
But now "Hurry! No one can be left alive!"
A shadowy figure shouted angrily, and the black carriage in front was getting closer and closer, and its outline had changed from the initial small black dot to a clear one.
Although in the previous life, no matter how fast people ran, they could never catch up with the car, but this is a world of cultivation after all.
Unless the one pulling the cart is a horse demon, a sixth-rank warrior can run faster than a horse.
“Whoosh!”
The four men in black exerted force again and suddenly closed the distance between them.
But at this moment, they saw the carriage suddenly turn a corner and rubbed the wall into a small alley next to it.
Compared to wide roads, this small alley can accommodate one car, but it will definitely greatly affect the speed of the carriage.
If they had time to analyze the situation calmly, the four assassins should have noticed the abnormality at this moment.
But at this critical moment they had no time to think. They ran to the entrance of the alley in a few breaths, and then continued to chase the carriage that was still galloping in front.
"Da-da-da! Da-da-da!"
The sound of hurried horse hooves echoed in the narrow alleys. Under the moonlight, the shadows of running cars and people were reflected on the wall on one side, just like a shadow play with the alley wall as the curtain.
But no one knew whether the shadow play master made a mistake. At a certain moment, two of the four figures suddenly froze and then broke into two pieces.
“Puff!”
The gushing blood splattered all over the alley wall. The two bodies that were split in half continued to fly forward for a distance due to inertia, and then fell to the ground with a "thump thump" in the incredulous eyes of the other two accomplices.
"Hold!"
The two assassins who had managed to survive stopped immediately. Their rich combat experience allowed them to lock onto the attacker in the blink of an eye.
She was wearing a tight blue gown, with her long hair tied up high. She held a knife in her right hand and the scabbard in her left hand. The two of them were stunned for a moment, and almost subconsciously blurted out:
“You, you are.”
"Um?"
Wei Changtian asked in a cold tone: "Do you know me?"
“.”
The two assassins looked at each other, and one of them immediately said loudly: "Master Wei, this may be a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstand?"
Wei Changtian's expression gradually became ferocious: "I don't think there is any misunderstanding. Even if there is, you can wait until you get to the underworld and tell the King of Hell!"
“Bang!”
Taking a step forward, Wei Changtian grinned and raised his knife as if ready to attack again.
Although the two assassins took a step back, there was no panic on their faces.
If it weren't for the sneak attack, they were confident that Wei Changtian would never be their opponent.
However, even if they could defeat him, they would not dare to attack the Young Master Wei in front of them unless they were absolutely sure of killing him.
This matter involves too many things and is far beyond what the two of them can afford.
"Master Wei, we really didn't know that the person in the car was you. I wonder if you can let us go this time. Within three days, someone will come to your door and give you a satisfactory answer."
"Let you go?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who is your master?"
"this."
The two assassins probably knew that Wei Changtian would never let them go if they didn't tell him the name. After hesitating for a moment, they finally answered in a deep voice:
"Master Wei, we serve the Ning family."
"Ning family?"
Wei Changtian's expression immediately became uncertain.
And his reaction was exactly what the two assassins had expected.
Although there are many people with the surname Ning in Daning, there is only one family that can be called "Ning Family", not even the prince.
Sure enough, after about five or six breaths, Wei Changtian finally made the "difficult" choice.
"If you are really from the Ning family, I can spare you."
"But who knows whether what you said is true or not, it's better to be direct."
"Master Wei! How dare we talk about such things!"
An assassin interrupted hurriedly, "If you don't believe me, we can take you to see someone right now!"
"who?"
"You will know when you see it!"
“.”
Wei Changtian lowered his head and "hesitated" for a moment, then returned the sword to the sheath with a "clang".
"lead the way."
