Chapter 255 The Man in Black's Regret
In fact, Zhou Rongzhang understood that these people could not have come to Shanglin Village; those men in black were clearly not ordinary assassins.
The villagers of Shanglin Village were just ordinary people, nothing special.
They used to work diligently in the fields, and now they are working diligently to escape famine, so it's impossible for anyone to pay a lot of money to hire assassins to kill them.
Therefore, these people are most likely after Gu Yunrou and her daughter. It seems that the Marquis's mansion has become increasingly insignificant since the old Marquis died.
Back in the day, he and the old Marquis Yongyi were two great generals of the Longyuan Kingdom. They often engaged in heated debates in the court and privately sparred in martial arts and drank together.
well!
Zhou Rongzhang sighed softly. Ning Bao had already been woken up by him. Someone had launched a night attack? She sat up abruptly, pulling out her Soul-Locking Chain as she shouted.
"Someone is launching a night attack. Those who can fight, come out and fight. Those who can't, stay put and don't get caught in the crossfire. Swords have no eyes."
As soon as Ning Bao finished speaking, Gu Xiang and his guards all drew their swords and assumed a defensive stance.
Shen Junshan and Mu Chunping also rushed over with their weapons.
They worked together seamlessly. Shen Junshan rushed to the edge of the village to prepare to set up the battlefield outside the crowd, while Mu Chunping, who was relatively weaker, quickly ran to the villagers on the outskirts of the camp and helped them pack up their belongings and retreat to the other side.
Not long after, Lin Jianfei also joined Mu Chunping's "team".
When a sudden night raid occurred, the villagers were startled, but they did not scream or shout. Everyone evacuated in an orderly and tense manner, and even the children who were woken up by their families did not cry or make a fuss.
At this moment, more than twenty men in black were already fighting with the guards. Ning Bao and Shen Junshan stood on the perimeter of the battlefield in perfect unison to prevent the men in black from harming the villagers.
The guards sent by Gu Xiang were clearly agile and skilled in martial arts, while Ning Bao, a little child, looked like she was just playing around.
One of the assassins, seeing that the guards here were not easy to deal with, saw a little child and simply ran over and kicked Ning Bao without saying a word.
Shen Junshan, who was not far from Ning Bao, saw someone attacking Ning Bao and immediately wanted to come over to help. However, as soon as he took a step, another man in black came and blocked his way.
Although Ning Bao was small, she was not easy to bully. Seeing that the man in black showed no mercy because she was a child, she frowned and swung the Soul-Locking Chain without hesitation.
The moment the Soul-Locking Chain struck the man in black, he froze, his strength dissipated, and his soul became unstable, almost causing him to leave his home.
Seeing the dizzy man in black, Ning Bao had no intention of letting him go. She had clearly seen him use all his strength to kick her.
Since that's the case, Ning Bao will definitely retaliate by kicking him back. Ning Bao shook her short legs, found the right direction, raised her leg, kicked, and exerted force...
"ah!…………"
With a bloodcurdling scream, the man in black flew out of sight and disappeared into the night...
The man in black, who had been kicked away by Ning Bao hundreds of feet away, slammed into a tree trunk. The once upright tree snapped in two with a crack, and the man rolled on the ground more than ten times before coming to a stop.
As soon as he stopped, the man in black opened his mouth and spat out several mouthfuls of black blood with a "whoosh!" before dying.
The dead man in black thought that was the end of it. He didn't expect that his soul had just left his body and he hadn't even had time to get used to being a ghost with his feet off the ground when he was picked up by an old man in armor.
Zhou Rongzhang angrily took the ghost of the man in black in his hand and rubbed it vigorously.
"You're a grown man, even if you're an assassin, you should still have some conscience. That was a little child who wasn't even four years old. How could you do that?"
"You even tried to kick my Ningbao! I think you might as well give up your feet; they're unnecessary for you anyway."
The man in black felt his soul being torn apart and deformed. He steadied himself and looked at Zhou Rongzhang with a puzzled expression.
“General, I did think that the girl’s position was a weak point and I was going to rush into the crowd from there to find her.”
"It's all the fault of those petty people. I shouldn't have bullied the weak, but now that I'm dead, please let me reincarnate in peace. You can't possibly not even spare a ghost."
Zhou Rongzhang's tiger-like eyes widened.
"So what if I'm a ghost? Even if I become a ghost, I'll still beat me up."
"You're a ghost, and so am I. If you've got the guts, come and fight me one-on-one. You think we can't do anything to you just because you're a ghost? Oh, and I forgot to tell you, our Ningbao goes to the underworld like it's his own home."
Man in black: "…………"
Who exactly did he offend? He's suddenly starting to regret it...
