Chapter 482 The Mo family is not easy to mess with
After Mo Chuhan left, the Mo brothers began to be on high alert, waiting for him to bring back news.
As everyone waited anxiously, Mo Chuhan finally arrived back just as it was getting dark.
Judging from his attire, everything remained the same as before, which showed that he had not fought with anyone.
Mo Chuhan quickly came close to his brothers.
"Those people are indeed not far from us, hiding about eighty miles away from here. I waited until they set off before rushing back to deliver the letter.
It is estimated that they will be here in less than two hours.
Also, they weren't dressed in black and masked as we imagined, but rather dressed like ordinary people, hiding in many places. If I hadn't seen that they were muscular and not as thin as ordinary people, I would have been fooled by them."
Mo Jiuye turned to his subordinates and ordered, "Everyone, take your positions and prepare to fight the enemy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Mo brothers each led a team of people to ambush according to the previous plan.
Mo Jiuye stood at the highest point and used a night vision telescope to observe the situation in the distance.
Two hours later, a group of people appeared on the official road, and the number was estimated to be at least two hundred.
The people sent by the Queen are all masters, naturally they are all highly skilled in martial arts, and their hearing is naturally not bad.
The Mo brothers and their men dispersed and hid. Mo Jiuye couldn't loudly alert people that someone was coming, so he took out the flares he had prepared in advance and fired them when those people were about two miles away from them.
The flare looks very special after being launched. There is no sound, just a thin line of light, just like a meteor across the night sky.
If someone didn't know the situation, they would think it was a meteor.
Although it happened in ancient times, it was a very common natural phenomenon and did not arouse suspicion among those people.
Sure enough, the leader of the death squad just glanced at the quickly disappearing light and told everyone to move on.
"Everyone, hurry up! We must reach Xiling Village before midnight."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead in performing Qinggong, increasing his speed to the extreme, and his death squad followers followed closely behind at the same speed.
Soon, the assassins arrived at the encirclement set up by the Mo brothers.
The Mo brothers and their subordinates have all been through battle and are very experienced in ambushing the enemy.
The only difference today is that the enemies all have internal martial arts skills, and are not as easy to deal with as the soldiers on the battlefield who only know how to use fists and feet.
So what if you have internal force and martial arts?
They will never return.
The Mo brothers each commanded their own team of soldiers to take action.
Countless arrows streaked across the night sky and shot towards the assassins.
The leader of the assassins reacted very quickly. Sensing something was wrong, he immediately shouted, "There's an ambush! Be careful!"
However, his words were not as fast as the speed of the crossbow. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of people falling down one after another.
It was too late to remind him, because the second batch of arrows were already shooting towards all parts of his body.
The assassins quickly drew out the soft swords hidden at their waists to block the dense arrows.
The leader of the assassins suddenly felt that things were not going well. He knew that resisting like this was not a long-term solution. If he was careless at any time, he would be hit by an arrow.
For example, many of the men behind him had already fallen.
In this case, the best way is to find the hiding place of the archer and fight back.
However, how could the Mo brothers give him such an opportunity?
Arrows shot towards the dead soldiers like raindrops, with no signs of stopping.
The assassins could only fight desperately and had no chance to find the location of the hidden person.
In just a blink of an eye, half of the assassins fell down, and screams were heard everywhere.
Fortunately, this place is remote, surrounded by mountains, with no villages or pedestrians.
Even if they screamed loudly, no one would notice.
Mo Jia came prepared with his men to ambush, and he also took into account that there would be a lot of people coming from the capital, so he brought enough arrows with him before leaving.
Those soldiers had not experienced such pleasure of killing enemies for a long time. Especially when they saw more and more dead soldiers falling, they became more and more courageous.
According to the plan made in advance, in order to prevent any of the death squad members from escaping quietly, Mo Jiuye led a team of people to hide in the dark and quickly came to the rear of the death squad members to encircle them.
Now, the assassins were attacked from both sides, and it was impossible for the timid ones to take the opportunity to escape.
Within a quarter of an hour, all the assassins had fallen to the ground, and even those who were still alive had their bodies riddled with holes from crossbow arrows.
The Mo brothers already knew the origins of these people and did not need to ask for any confessions.
Mo Jiuye yelled, "Stop."
At the command, all the soldiers stopped their movements and surrounded the death squad from all directions in an orderly manner.
At the same time, the eldest brother had ordered people to light torches.
The torch was lit and the surroundings instantly became bright.
Looking at the dead men lying on the ground, they were indeed as Mo Chuhan said, wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and they were all strong and healthy.
Without the Mo family's orders, the soldiers went forward on their own to check if they were still breathing. If they were still alive, they would give them another stab to ensure that no one survived.
If it were in the past, after the Mo brothers and their men dealt with these assassins, they would have quietly disposed of the bodies and cleaned up the battlefield, making it appear as if nothing had happened.
However, considering that the queen was going too far, Mo Jiuye was the first one who didn't want to do this.
He deliberately left the bodies of these dead soldiers here.
It’s okay to not deal with the corpse, but Mo Jiuye was not so careless as to keep the arrows shot from the crossbow.
The most important thing is to take away all the money and badges on the bodies of the dead men.
The soldiers also understood this principle, and without the Mo brothers' instructions, after they had eliminated all the assassins, they collected all the arrows they had shot.
Although this place is not far from Yuncheng, it is under the jurisdiction of the provincial government.
I believe that tomorrow morning, the prefect will receive news that there are more than 200 bodies here.
It was ensured that there were no survivors among the assassins, so he had no way to investigate and could only report the matter to the court.
By that time, the people behind the scenes will definitely know what is going on with these assassins.
So many assassins were eliminated overnight without anyone noticing. If they want to attack the Mohist School again, they must carefully consider their abilities.
Of course, this matter can only be determined by the people behind the scenes that the Mo family did it, but they cannot do anything openly. After all, they have no evidence to point to the Mo family for the murder.
In short, Mo Jiuye did this to give a warning to the Queen's party.
