One touch and one silence

All the people were lured away, and the two people named An Liu and An Jiu who were sent by Nanzhi to follow them saw that now was a good opportunity and decided to take action directly.

The two foolish people didn't know that they were being tricked by His Majesty's men.

When Zhuo Yichen's team was resting, two secret guards came running back from somewhere, pointing their swords at Zhuo Yichen's carriage.

The carriage was cut in half by the sharp sword, and Zhuo Yichen flew out of the carriage almost instantly.

The two men didn't expect that this man actually had martial arts skills. Without saying a word, they picked up their swords and started fighting with Zhuo Yichen.

Zhuo Yichen slowly pulled out a hidden arrow from his belt and looked at the two people who came to assassinate him with a mocking expression.

It was as if he was teasing these two people.

Until he got tired of playing.

He just swung the sword casually, and the soft sword wrapped around An Liu's sword-holding wrist. Zhuo Yichen had a cold look in his eyes, and he gently pulled the sword-holding hand. The man in black felt a sudden pain in his hand, and as soon as his hand loosened, his sword fell to the ground.

He had no strength left in his hands.

An Liu was shocked that this man's martial arts was so powerful that he could cripple his hand with just one move.

An Jiu made a quick decision and shouted to An Liu, "Retreat quickly! This guy's martial arts is better than ours!"

After saying this, the two of them fought and retreated, and finally turned around and fled using their Qinggong skills.

Zhuo Yichen looked at the place where the two people disappeared with a cold face.

He had already seen through their martial arts style just now, and these people were also from the secret guard lineage.

When my mother got married, my grandfather gave her two secret guards.

Part of his martial arts were taught by those two people.

Thinking of this, his face became extremely gloomy.

But he did not chase after him. The secret guard who came back behind him was about to catch up, but was stopped by him.

"No need to chase them. Send a few people to follow them and see who they belong to."

Assassinate him?

Ha ha!

Zhuo Yichen roughly knew who it belonged to, but he didn't know who it belonged to.

An Jiu supported An Liu and fled in a hurry, with blood flowing from An Liu's hands.

An Jiu noticed that the blood dripping on the ground could easily leave a mark, so he tore off a piece of his clothes and quickly bandaged An Liu's wrist.

"It's not advisable to stay here for long, let's go back quickly."

They underestimated the third young master of the Zhuo family. When their master reminded them that this man knew martial arts, they thought it was just some fancy moves and did not take it seriously. Now it seems that they had underestimated the enemy.

I didn't expect that a pampered playboy would be so powerful. I'm afraid that even if Lord Liu Yue came, he would not be able to gain any advantage against this guy.

The two men quickly ran to their horses, mounted their horses, and left the place without looking back.

They had to go back and report to their master.

With the pursuers chasing them relentlessly, the two men never stopped along the way.

They passed by a farmhouse and stole some clothes that were hung out to dry, changed into new clothes, and when they reappeared, they were already a man and a woman. An Jiu was pulling the horse, and An Liu was dressed as a woman and sat on the horse's back.

However, the two of them were not in such a hurry. Instead, they turned around leisurely and went back the way they came.

An Jiu was a little worried about An Liu's hand, and An Liu gave An Jiu a reassuring look.

The group of people chasing after them didn't even look at the man and woman passing by, and just continued to chase forward.

An Jiu watched the people leave, then heaved a sigh of relief and turned his horse around to head towards the city.

It was already evening and the air was not as hot as it was during the day. Many people came out and sat under the trees, chatting in groups of three or four.

Ordinary people naturally cannot afford ice, and only in the evening would they go out for a walk to cool down.

An Jiu and the other person found an inn. As soon as they entered the room, An Jiu applied golden medicine to An Liu. Looking at the wound on his wrist, An Jiu and the other person took a deep breath.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Zhuo's martial arts skills are so powerful. It seems that he didn't use much strength, but your wound is so deep. They have to rush back to see if it can be cured."

An Liu nodded.

At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had picked up a sachet out of impulse, originally thinking of using it as evidence, but he didn't expect that it would help them escape a disaster.

An Liu played with the sachet with his left hand. The strong smell made him feel a little uncomfortable, but there was a peony embroidered on it with a bird standing on it.

He casually threw the sachet on the table and spoke to An Jiu in a dark voice.

"Those women are probably dead now. That Third Master Zhuo is even more cruel and ruthless than our prince thought!"

After all, they were hugging and kissing each other one second ago, and the next second they had those women killed and even burned the carriage. No wonder the prince was so cautious.

The degree of cruelty is simply unimaginable to ordinary people. An Jiu sat at the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

This was the second time they had done a mission alone, but they didn't expect to mess it up.

"Let's hurry back to Jiangnan tomorrow morning!"

After saying that, the two of them picked up the bloody clothes and burned them directly. Even at night, neither of them let their guard down.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that the inn suddenly became noisy.

An Jiu quickly hid by the window and looked downstairs.

They saw the people chasing them at the end, searching the inn.

An Liu had already put on a set of women's clothes, and An Jiu directly pushed her down on the bed. The two of them pretended to have just been woken up.

An Jiu looked at the group of people rushing in and knew that this person must be looking for them.

The people who rushed in were the guards of the Zhuo family. They looked to be the man and woman who passed by during the day.

An Jiu looked at him with a scrutinizing look, took a cup of tea from the table and handed it to An Liu, who took it with his right hand.

The man's scrutinizing gaze faded away, and he just asked coldly.

"Did you see two men in black passing by you during the day?"

At this time, An Jiu had already changed into a rather luxurious outer robe, which was the first thing he bought when he arrived at the inn.

Master Liu Yue once taught that clothes are not only a person's appearance, but also your confidence. Before others take action, they will often be afraid of you because of your clothes. Sometimes, luxurious clothes are like a protective umbrella, which can save your life at a critical moment.

It turns out that the saying "respect the clothes first and then the person" is right!

At this moment, An Jiu pretended to suddenly realize, "So it's you!"

"I saw them, riding two horses. Didn't you chase them?"

An Jiu's puzzled look made the two men not suspect anything.

"Whose men are you, and why are you breaking into the inn in the middle of the night?"

Seeing that the man was still staring at the two of them and not leaving, An Jiu took the initiative and scolded him in a harsh tone, with a hint of the aura of a superior.

The leaders were shocked by the momentum of An Jiu's words, but they did not panic.

"Who are you?"

Without saying a word, An Jiu took out the token of the Prince's Mansion and placed it on the table.

"We are the prince's men, doing business nearby. Why do you want to know what it is?"

An Jiu looked coldly at the people in front of him and said sarcastically.

"You look like neither officials nor constables, yet you dare to break into the inn at will. It seems that Dongcheng Prefecture is quite chaotic, isn't it?"

"No wonder the prince thinks there's something wrong with this county magistrate and asked me to investigate secretly. This is really interesting!"

After saying this, An Jiu looked these people up and down.
