Mu Lin was asking about the assassin leader's words and felt a little annoyed about his negligence.
He was too relaxed during this period and didn't even notice that someone was following them.
Thinking of this, his men became even more ruthless and quickly forced back the assassins surrounding Shen Nian.
But there were too many of them and their martial arts were not weak. They surrounded them and attacked them, and they couldn't escape for a while.
Now I regret not bringing a few more guards.
Now here, there is no village in front and no shop behind. Mu Lin is afraid that Chen Nian and Wu An Hou will get into trouble, and he can't help but start to feel anxious.
"Master, I will hold them back for a while, and you and the Marquis will charge over on horseback." Mu Lin fought while moving towards Marquis Wu'an.
"No need, let's go together!" Shen Nian replied in a cold voice.
There was no way he could just leave Mu Lin here and run away.
They grew up together, and their relationship has long gone beyond master and servant, becoming like brothers.
Mu Lin had no choice but to hope that Lin Qing could protect Marquis Wu'an.
Lin Qing, the chief guard of Marquis Wu'an, was also fighting fiercely with the assassin at this time.
Only Wu'an Hou was protected by Lin Qing, and he was somewhat adept at it, constantly asking the assassin leader questions.
The two sides were evenly matched and the situation was tense for a while. Mu Lin was anxious. It was not a solution to drag it on like this. They had fewer people on their side, so they could only fight quickly and decisively.
Seizing an opportunity, Mu Lin stabbed one of the assassins surrounding him to death with a sword, then reached into his arms, took out a flare and fired it.
The assassin leader saw that the person they were besieging started to call for help, and he became a little anxious. He immediately called on the other assassins to fight more fiercely and asked them to end the battle quickly.
Because according to their tracking, the guards of this dog official were in the village ahead, and it would only take about half an hour for them to rush over from there.
If they don't get rid of these people within half an hour, it will be difficult to complete the mission in the future.
"Speed up, we can't let them get away this time." The assassin leader said fiercely.
Marquis Wu'an didn't know, but if he knew who these people were, he would definitely hate them to the core.
These people were in the capital. Shen Ke hired them to assassinate Shen Nian, but in the end they were replaced by Shen Nian and almost killed Shen Ke's group.
When Marquis Wu'an sent people to investigate, this group of people had already left the capital, so they were not found.
This time Chen Ke was able to find them, and they promised that nothing would go wrong this time, so Chen Ke believed them again.
The assassin leader also wanted to improve the credibility of his team, so he agreed immediately.
So no matter what Wu'an Hou asked, he did not reveal the person behind the scenes.
Mu Feng, who was harvesting rice with his guards in Ma'an Village, felt his right eyelid twitching.
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, "Is nothing going to happen to the master? Why do I feel so uneasy today?"
This made it impossible for him to concentrate on harvesting rice.
"Ouch!" The person next to him shouted!
Mu Feng came back to his senses and realized that the sickle in his hand almost hit the person next to him.
Just as he came back to his senses, he looked up and saw the signal flare in the sky, "Oh no, the master is in danger."
Mu Feng finished speaking and threw the sickle in his hand, "Brothers, follow me."
The other guards threw down their sickles without saying a word and jumped on their horses.
While Village Chief Ma was still in a daze, Mu Feng and the other guards had already ridden away on horseback.
"What's going on, Village Chief?" A villager came over and asked Village Chief Ma.
"Who knows!" Village chief Ma was also confused. Why did he leave suddenly?
And he left in a hurry without saying a word.
Mu Feng rode back as fast as he could.
Three guards on Shen Nian's side were already injured.
Seven or eight assassins were injured and four died, but this group of people today were desperate and continued to charge forward even after their deaths.
It seems that he has made up his mind to kill Shen Nian today!
"Don't leave any survivors, break out first." Wu'an Hou also got angry. He didn't expect that he had come to Linzhou with great difficulty, thinking of getting closer to his eldest son, but he didn't expect to encounter an assassin as soon as he went out.
"Yes, my lord!" Lin Qing agreed, and the sword in his hand became sharper.
Marquis Wu'an also used all his strength to deal with the assassin and quickly forced the assassin back a few steps, but the opponent was still very strong and he really had no way to deal with it for the time being.
The assassin leader was also a little anxious. After such a long time, he had only injured three of the other party's guards, while four of their people had died and seven or eight were injured.
When the two sides were fighting fiercely, Mu Feng finally arrived.
"Hurry, save people!" Mu Feng roared and rushed forward.
With the addition of Mu Feng and other guards, they quickly dealt with the other assassins, and captured the assassin leader and four survivors.
"Take them back!" Chen Nian had a gloomy face and took his men back to Sangluo City.
"You go ahead and do your work. Leave these people to me!" Wu'an Hou patted Chen Nian's shoulder. He knew that Chen Nian had worked hard during this period, so he let him investigate the assassin's case.
"Then I'll trouble you, father." Shen Nian clasped his fists solemnly. He really didn't have the mind to deal with this matter right now.
The disaster-stricken villages around Sangluo City need to be renovated, the crops need to be harvested, and the crops need to be planted. How can they have the energy to deal with personal matters?
"Well, get busy!" Marquis Wu'an waved his hand.
After Shen Nian left, Wu Anhou went to the prison to interrogate the assassin leader.
"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate the governor of Linzhou?" Marquis Wu'an still did not reveal his identity.
So the assassin leader didn't know that he was Shen Ke's father.
"I was caught by you because I am not as skilled as you. You can kill me or chop me up as you like, but you are dreaming if you want to get the person who ordered me to do so from me!" The assassin leader spat, looking as if he was ready to die.
Wu Anhou was not in a hurry at all. "If you don't say it's okay, don't we still have four subordinates? Then I will torture them one by one, letting you see with your own eyes how they die, so that you can get familiar with your own death in advance."
"If you want to kill, just kill. Why so much nonsense?" The assassin leader said with disdain.
Since they are in this line of work, they have already hung their lives on their belts.
"Don't worry, you will tell it sooner or later." Marquis Wu'an asked his men to take good care of the assassin leader and he left the prison first.
For several consecutive days, Marquis Wu'an went to the prison to interrogate the assassin leader. Finally, after his two subordinates were executed by slow slicing, the assassin leader could not bear it anymore and told the truth.
"It was the fourth young master of the Wu'an Marquisate in the capital, and the second young master of the Liu family who hired us."
As for how the assassin leader knew that the people who placed the orders for them were Chen Ke and the second master of the Liu family, it was because they had dealt with them more than twice.
Also, they had not completed the previous two tasks, so Chen Ke and the second master of the Liu family found them directly and asked them to make compensation.
So he was cautious and followed them, only then did he find out the identities of Chen Ke and the second master of the Liu family.
