Chapter 193 Shen Chu, you'd better be alright.
There were about ten people who rushed in, all of them with their faces covered by black cloths, so their faces could not be seen.
Who are you?
Shen Chu calmly swept his gaze over them.
The leader of the men in black gave a cold laugh.
"The one who sends you on your way."
Having said that, he swung his sword and thrust it forward.
Shen Chu pretended to be scared and retreated repeatedly, dodging the attack from the leader of the men in black.
However, it was also clear that the leader of the men in black was quite skilled in martial arts.
She might have a chance against him alone, but the other side has brought so many people...
She cried out in a panic:
"Don't kill me, we can discuss the terms."
"Talk?" The leader of the men in black laughed, his eyes filled with disdain.
"What? You think you're rich?"
The other men in black burst into laughter.
"Boss, why would we need so many of us to deal with a mere censor who can't even kill a chicken?"
"That's right, you don't even need to lift a finger, any one of us brothers could send him on his way with just a flick of our fingers."
The leader raised his hand, and the man in black immediately stopped laughing.
The eldest brother glanced at Chen Chu with disdain, then turned around and waved his hand.
"I thought he was some troublesome guy, that I had to bring so many brothers with me. You guys, hurry up and send him on his way."
"Hurry up, after we finish this we'll go to a brothel for drinks."
"Okay, boss."
Several men in black surrounded Shen Chu, their eyes flashing with a ruthless cold light.
Right now.
Shen Chu suddenly jumped up and swung his sword.
Her movements were light and agile, and her swordsmanship was fast and accurate.
With a single sword stroke, he slit the throats of three men in black.
However, he took down the three men in black in an instant.
When they fell, their eyes were wide open, and they couldn't believe that they had been killed by someone else with a single blow.
Wasn't he supposed to be a civil official?
How come he knows martial arts?
The leader of the men in black never expected that Shen Chu would know martial arts.
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became furious.
"Everyone, charge!"
The remaining men in black gathered around.
Shen Chu took two steps back and waved out the medicinal powder hidden in his sleeve.
"ah!"
Something got into my eye.
"It hurts so much."
Several men in black covered their faces and screamed in pain.
With a light touch of his toes, Chen Chu vanished into the darkness.
The token has been obtained, and the other side has a large and powerful force.
She wouldn't confront them head-on.
Fortunately, she had brought her usual medicine powder with her before she set off.
Chen Chu didn't bother to lead the horse; he used the moonlight to determine the direction and quickly ran out of the village.
"They ran that way, hurry and chase them."
The leader of the men in black and the rest of the group gave chase.
Shen Chu ran into the woods behind the village, intending to find a place to hide.
Just then, a dull pain came from my abdomen.
She panicked and quickly stopped to rest for a moment, holding onto a tree for support.
Fortunately, the stomach pain only lasted for a short while and then subsided quickly.
I think it was because I had been traveling all day and was running too fast just now that I had a miscarriage.
Shen Chu touched her belly, her feelings a mix of emotions.
The baby has been in her belly for more than two months. She is in good health, can eat and drink well, and does not vomit. Even the drowsiness that is most common in pregnant women is not so severe for her.
So most of the time, she's so busy with other things that she neglects her child.
But the child will always pop up at some point to remind her of her existence.
For example, the dull pain in my abdomen just now.
But this child is really well-behaved; knowing her difficult situation, he rarely makes her feel bad.
Even though it hurt, it only lasted for a moment, as if deliberately reminding myself of his presence.
"Boss, he's here."
The men in black spotted her and gave chase.
Chen Chu dared not stop any longer and continued running forward under the moonlight.
Considering the baby in her womb, she didn't run as fast as before this time.
The distance between the man in black and her was getting closer and closer.
She was so close she could hear the panting behind her.
Beyond the woods lies a wide river.
The river is swift-flowing, and even at night, the rushing sound of the water can be heard.
Rivers flowed in front and behind, and pursuers were behind.
What should we do?
Shen Chu subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
The figure in black had already chased them to the edge of the woods.
She could even hear them talking.
"Boss, he's running along the riverbank."
"Haha, the water level of the Canghe River has risen a lot recently, and the current is very strong. No matter how good your swimming skills are, you'll die if you jump in."
"That's what they call having a path to heaven but refusing to take it, and having no way to hell but insisting on coming in."
As soon as the leader of the men in black finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly came from ahead.
thump.
Everyone was startled and looked up, only to catch a glimpse of a black shadow bobbing up and down in the water before being swept downstream.
The man in black couldn't help but shout.
"Damn, he actually jumped into the river. Is drowning more comfortable than being hacked to death by us?"
The leader of the men in black quickly ran to the riverbank, stared at the water for a moment, and then snorted coldly.
“That saves us the trouble of doing it ourselves. You guys go downstream and check. Once his body floats to the surface, report back to the master.”
"yes."
The figures of a group of men in black disappeared into the darkness.
The turbulent river gradually returned to calm.
Meanwhile, on the official road from Anhua to Yueyang, two horses were galloping past, the clatter of their hooves carrying far into the dark night.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound rushed towards us from the side.
Pei Yuan, who was on horseback, alertly dodged to the side and accurately caught an arrow that was being shot at him.
His expression darkened slightly, and he hurled the arrow swiftly and fiercely in the direction from which it had come.
A scream came from the nearby tree, followed by a figure falling down.
Sun Yan jumped off his horse and ran over.
Who is it?
Suddenly, a group of men in black emerged from the woods, each wielding a large knife. Without a word, they swung their knives and began to slash.
Pei Yuan sat upright on his horse and instructed Sun Yan, "Leave them alive."
These people are no match for Sun Yan.
However, he was quickly defeated by Sun Yan, losing limbs and other injuries.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Pei Yuan remained motionless on his horse.
"Ask them who sent them?"
Sun Yan pressed him for answers, but couldn't get anything out of him.
The leader confessed that they were a gangster organization and had received an order that day.
"The order only instructed us to ambush you here, and we would receive a reward after the mission was accomplished."
As for who the client is, we really don't know.
Sun Yan knocked out a group of people and tied them to a tree, then asked Pei Yuan:
"Your Highness, do you think it's possible that the Feng family sent people to kill us to silence us?"
Pei Yuan frowned slightly, "That possibility cannot be ruled out, but I am, after all, a prince."
"It's not a life-or-death situation yet, surely the Feng family wouldn't do something so drastic as to fight to the death?"
Sun Yan scratched his head, "Who knows? What if they're ruthless and insane?"
"Oh no, doesn't that mean Lord Shen is also in danger?"
Pei Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he squeezed the horse's belly hard with his legs.
The horse neighed and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Just as dawn was breaking, the two arrived at Jiang Hongzhi's old house.
Upon seeing the man in black lying on the ground, Pei Yuan's face immediately turned ashen.
Shen Chu, you'd better be alright, otherwise...
