Dozens of well-trained dark shadows were seen moving lightly among the sleeping exiles, ruthlessly harvesting their lives.
I turned around and met a few pairs of deep and clear eyes not far away.
An Xin pointed to where Doctor Su and the others slept, then raised his hand and pointed at the mountain. Jiang Zhou nodded, stretched out his long arm and touched Shan Jinzhe who was closest to him.
They were reminded before the break that Jiang Zhou touched his arm and Censor Shan was awakened. He opened his eyes and was about to open his mouth to ask something, but he closed it immediately.
After all, Censor Shan was not a young man who had never experienced anything. Just as he was about to ask what had happened, he remembered An Xin's instructions last night.
If he could speak, this brat Jiang Zhou would have just pushed him gently, instead he would have started to curse him.
Shan Jinzhe saw Jiang Zhou pointing at other people and immediately understood what he meant.
With the same reaction as when he woke up, Censor Shan first covered the mouth of Gongsun Hong who was standing next to him, and then the moment he opened his eyes he signaled to him that something was wrong.
Gongsun Hong, who was awakened by being covered, nodded slightly, and then everyone was awakened one after another. Fortunately, the place they chose to rest was the farthest away from the officials.
Thinking about the concealment of the concave mountain, and being reminded by An Xin last night, Doctor Su and his two companions and the Chen family's second branch, who were already prepared, were awakened.
According to An Xin's instructions last night, if anything unexpected happened, let them find a secluded place in the mountains to hide first.
An Xin raised his head silently and saw Doctor Su and the second branch of the Chen family crouching and moving up the mountain quietly.
They were afraid that the noise they made would be discovered by the officers who were busy killing people over there, which would bring trouble to An Xin and the others and implicate them.
The four teachers and students of An Xin, as well as several officials who chose to rest not far from them, were not woken up by An Xin.
Because their resting place was outside the valley, any movement they made would surely be discovered by those people.
I saw Doctor Su and the Chen family hiding in the bushes on the mountain.
An Xin stood up decisively and shouted, "Everyone wake up, run if you don't want to be killed."
An Xin's shout was like a thunderclap in the silent night, waking up the exiled people.
The dozens of people who were sent to pretend to be officials were so frightened that they almost cut their own feet with the knives in their hands.
When the leader of these people arrived, he was told that the female official they were going to kill this time was not a powerless female civil servant.
It would be best to strike when she is off guard so that you can kill her in one fell swoop.
The reason why these people chose to act when they were close to the border of Lingnan and in the middle of the night when people were most likely to be sleepy and deep in sleep was because they thought An Xin and the others felt they were close to their destination.
Thinking that An Xin would relax, the leader who was arranged to kill An Xin thought this was the best time to kill her.
They also deliberately delayed time and missed the lodging station many times just to make spending the night in the wild less abrupt.
What’s hateful is that everyone thinks that it’s safest to spend the night in the wild and rest close to the officials, but An Xin and his group are so different.
Every time he chose to rest, he would choose a place farthest away from the officials.
Even if they occasionally rested near the officials, they would rest near Liu Huai and his men, the officials who were actually escorting the exiles.
If the people he led had not been law-abiding and not done anything unnecessary along the way, the leader who was sent to kill people would have thought they were exposed.
If the place where An Xin and the others were resting was not too far away from them, they would not have to kill those who woke up and shouted when they heard the noise, wasting time and missing the best assassination opportunity.
An Xin saw that everyone was awakened by his shouting. He got up and found that not far away around them, in the dim moonlight, there were figures standing, wearing official uniforms and holding bloody swords, with murderous looks on their faces.
Someone else asked in a daze, "What happened?"
Then what answered him was the big knife that chopped towards himself.
After a pause, even though everyone did not understand why the officers wanted to kill them, they all chose to flee for their lives at sunrise.
Who would be stupid enough to stand there and get hacked to death? It's not like they're really stupid.
Hearing An Xin's shout, the leader's eyes flashed with annoyance, and he ordered coldly: "Don't worry about others, just kill the target with all your strength."
An Xin blocked the broadsword that was aimed at Guo Youzhi and several exiled officials.
The few people who were frightened out of their wits said hurriedly to An Xin: "Thank you!!" and ran up the mountain.
An Xin saw dozens of people dressed in official uniforms coming towards her after hearing the order, "You have been able to hold back for so long before taking action. It must be tiring, right?!"
The leader paused and said, "You should have known that we are not escorting officers." Seeing the expression on An Xin's face, the man turned the question into an affirmative sentence.
An Xin raised his eyebrows and gave an answer.
When she noticed something unusual about the team of officials, An Xin inexplicably felt that these people might be coming for her.
Here are Leng Xiangbai, Zhu Shijing, Jiang Zhou, An Rui, and the fifth-rank deputy commander Lu Qinlong who did not choose to escape like the others after waking up.

Seeing those people holding big knives and heading towards An Xin, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Who does she have such a big grudge against? She looks like she won't stop until she is killed."
Seeing fifty swords flashing with sinister edges, and Xiang who was still standing there motionless, looking like he was waiting to die, Jiang Zhou and An Rui, Zhu Shijing and Leng Xiangbai looked at each other.
Jiang Zhou said in what he thought was a low voice: "Anyway, these people are not coming for us, why don't we move to the side and make some space for them to perform the chopping show."
When Lu Qinlong heard Jiang Zhou's words, he saw the other three people nodding in agreement.
He felt that if the deep teacher-student relationship between these people and teacher An Xin that he had heard about before was true, there would have to be as much moisture as the ocean in it.
“???” I’m afraid the affection between teacher and student is made of plastic.
"Is she really your teacher?" Lu Qinlong opened his mouth but couldn't help asking this question.
"Yeah." The four nodded.
"She abused you students when she taught you."
The four of them still shook their heads and answered honestly: "No."
"You didn't learn from her, you learned it all by yourself?"
This time, the four of them looked at Lu Qinlong, the big fool, as if he were a fool.
Lu Qinlong was frightened by the stares from the others. "What are you doing? Looking at me like that?"
Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes and sighed, "You are self-taught. Pass the imperial examination and show us."
Lu Qinlong suddenly felt that it was not worth it to be An Xin's teacher. He glanced at Jiang Zhou and the others with disdain, "The teacher is a real teacher. She did not abuse you in the name of teaching knowledge. The knowledge that enabled you to pass the imperial examination and become an official was also taught by her."
"Humph! I didn't expect you to be this kind of people." Lu Qinlong, an upright military officer, looked at the four people with disdain and said disdainfully: "You are afraid of death, but I am not.
If Lord An hadn't reminded me last night, I would have been killed by those people. I'll go help her."
When the indignant Lu Qinlong turned around to help An Xin fight the enemy, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I have a kind of illusion of who I am, where I am, and what happened.
