Chapter 124 He Zhiyuan is dead
After about an incense stick of time, He Zhiyuan finally stopped.
He licked his bloody fingers, then carefully folded the piece of clothing and put it in his arms.
Mo Jiuye glanced around and saw that everyone around him had rested, and the two officers on duty were also dozing off.
He quickly jumped down from the tree, knocked He Zhiyuan unconscious with a knife, grabbed his collar and quickly disappeared from the spot.
After running for a distance, Mo Jiuye threw He Zhiyuan to the ground and took out the piece of clothes from his arms.
He used a tinder to light a pile of hay, and in the light of the fire, the handwriting on the blood letter was clearly visible.
The above content was exactly as he and He Zhiran had expected.
It simply means that he discovered Mo Jiuye's abnormality today and saved a white-haired old woman who looked like an acquaintance. The old woman's identity did not seem like that of an ordinary person.
If King Rui wants to know more, save him from danger as soon as possible...
After reading the blood letter, Mo Jiuye decisively threw it into the fire and burned it.
He originally wanted to spare He Zhiyuan's life, but he turned out to be so ungrateful.
For his own selfish desires, he actually wanted to betray him.
Fortunately, he and He Zhiran were alert and discovered the clues early on. Otherwise, once this blood letter was delivered to Nanrui's hands, it would be a big trouble again.
Thinking of this, Mo Jiuye simply didn't use the poison He Zhiran gave him. He raised his sword and sent He Zhiyuan to hell.
After doing all this, Mo Jiuye returned He Zhiyuan's body to its original place without anyone noticing.
In order to avoid being discovered, he carefully turned back, cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground, and then returned to the tent.
When they woke up early the next day, they heard a woman's ghostly howling sounds from the camp.
"Sir, my master is dead..."
The officer went over impatiently to check and found that He Zhiyuan was indeed dead. He hurried to report to Peng Wang.
After looking at He Zhiyuan's body, Peng Wang turned his head and looked in the direction of the Mo family.
He waved to the officers and said, "The man is dead, bury him!"
The He family disagreed and all gathered around Peng Wang.
"Sir, my master was clearly assassinated. We can't just bury him like this without knowing the reason!"
Peng Wang looked coldly at the women of the He family and asked, "According to you, are you planning to let me, an official escorting exiled prisoners, find the murderer?"
When talking about the murderer, Peng Wang immediately thought of Mo Jiuye.
Apart from Mo Jiuye, he couldn't think of anyone else who would attack He Zhiyuan.
However, this was just his guess, and he couldn't completely conclude that it was Mo Jiuye who did it.
What's more, even if it was Mo Jiuye who did it, he wouldn't say it...
Peng Wang just cursed in his heart: This kid only knows how to make trouble for himself!
When the He family saw Peng Wang's face turn dark, they no longer dared to say anything about seeking justice for He Zhiyuan. They could only watch the officers carry the body away.
Now that He Zhiyuan is dead, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran are no longer worried about what happened to Nanny Fei yesterday being exposed.
Right now, the only thing they need to guard against is Nanrui's assassination.
However, the army marched smoothly for ten days, but there was still no movement from Nanrui.
Even so, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran did not dare to be careless at all.
It is already September, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is gradually increasing.
Especially late at night, even covered with a quilt in the tent, I didn’t feel very warm.
He Zhiran got up early and was folding the quilt in the tent when he suddenly felt Mo Jiuye's figure flash at the door of the tent and quickly disappear on the spot.
He Zhiran didn't care about what he was doing and quickly chased after him.
I saw Mo Jiuye casually picking up a spatula and trying to block several feather arrows shot towards him.
Without any suspicion, He Zhiran immediately took out a Swiss Army knife from the space and threw it towards Mo Jiuye.
"then."
Mo Jiuye took the saber steadily and accurately and continued to block the arrows.
He Zhiran quickly hid behind a big tree and looked in the direction where the arrow came from.
I saw several men in black shooting arrows at Mo Jiuye in a slightly hidden place on the opposite side.
Seeing that those people's target was always Mo Jiuye, He Zhiran quickly climbed up the tree, took out his sleeve arrow and shot at those people.
At the same time, the officers and other prisoners also discovered something strange here.
The sisters-in-law were already holding their mini-pistols warily. If it weren't for my ninth brother and his wife telling them not to expose these weapons to the public unless absolutely necessary, they would have already fired their hidden weapons in the direction of the arrows...
Peng Wang also shouted, "There is an assassin, everyone be careful."
When faced with such a situation, the first thing Peng Wang thought of was his two brothers who had died in Niujiao Mountain not long ago.
Two officials in the group have already died, and they cannot afford any more accidents.
The men from the Fang and Xie families also randomly found some things that could be used as weapons and planned to come to support.
However, those people's attacks were only aimed at Mo Jiuye, and the opponent was far away, so the spatulas and bricks in their hands were of no use at all.
Liang Hao also noticed something was wrong and rushed over with Xu Qingfeng and Li Mingrui to protect Mo Jiuye.
He Zhiran had already shot three men in black to death with his hidden arrows in the tree.
However, the number of men in black was replenished in an instant.
This tactic is completely different from the last time Nan Heng sent someone. They never showed up and kept hiding in the distance, shooting arrows from behind.
Until Liang Hao and others joined in, they took out the bows and arrows from their backs and shot and killed several men in black in succession.
The men in black changed their tactics when they saw that they had suffered heavy casualties.
They stopped shooting arrows and attacked Mo Jiuye with knives in hand.
Seeing that there were so many men in black, Mo Jiuye was worried that his family would be implicated, so he used his lightness skills to run away.
The man in black pursued him relentlessly.
He Zhiran was still chasing behind and shooting arrows at the man in black.
Those men in black ignored the people behind them, and even automatically ignored He Zhiran's attack, and were determined to take Mo Jiuye's life.
Mo Jiuye stopped after running several hundred meters in one breath. He raised his saber and fought with the man in black.
Liang Hao and others arrived just after Mo Jiuye and soon joined in.
When He Zhiran arrived, some of the men in black had already been killed, and there were probably about twenty or thirty of them left.
Seeing that Mo Jiuye and the others were not having a hard time dealing with the situation, He Zhiran continued to shoot arrows at the men in black from behind.
Seeing that things were not going well, the remaining dozen or so men in black made a few feints and then fled in one direction.
Liang Hao, Xu Qingfeng and Li Mingrui quickly caught up.
Only one person was still attacking Mo Jiuye, and judging from the postures of the two, Mo Jiuye was already at a disadvantage.
He Zhiran quickly raised the crossbow in his hand, aimed at the back of the black-clothed man's head, ready to kill him with one blow.
Seeing this, Mo Jiuye shouted, "Don't hurt him."
