Chapter 429: Secret Guards

After saying goodbye to Chen Shan, Chu Mo and everyone slowly returned to the hostel.

On the first floor of the inn, traveling merchants come here to rest at night. The kettle on the stove makes a "sizzling" sound, and a dozen people sit together, bragging about their experiences.

At one side, the shopkeeper was counting on an abacus at the counter while listening with great interest; the waiter was leaning against the door frame, listening with fascination; Chu Mo was sitting at the dining table near the stairs, finding it very interesting.

Although these merchants run small businesses, they have traveled far and wide and have rich experience. The experiences they talk about are even more fascinating, giving people the urge to experience them.

"Da-da-da"

The sound of horse hooves coming from the street interrupted the person who was speaking. The waiter poked his head out with displeasure, then retracted his gaze, indicating that it had nothing to do with them and asked the man to continue.

But what was unexpected was that the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the bluestone street seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet street.

Soon, a man leading a horse stopped in front of the inn.

The man was dressed in a tight black suit, with a belt around his waist and wrist guards. He held a sword in one hand and led his horse with the other.

You can recognize at a glance that this is the most popular swordsman outfit in the world.

The cold voice of the visitor came through the darkness.

"Boss, do you have any vacant rooms? Give me one, and my horse, and feed me good fodder."

After saying this, he stepped into the inn in a flash and threw a silver ingot onto the counter in front of everyone's shocked eyes.

"Prepare another meal for me, a jar of good wine, and put the rest on the account."

After saying that, he came to a table near Chu Mo, sat down slowly, and glanced at Chu Mo at the same time.

The room fell into an eerie silence, with only the busy sounds of the waiter and the shopkeeper being heard.

The power that the Night Swordsman just displayed shocked everyone, and a few brave merchants even glanced at the Black Swordsman from time to time.

Chu Mo looked at the newcomer with great interest, a curious expression on his face.

Sarliang stood quietly in the shadow behind Chu Mo, and could not be discovered at all.

Soon, the waiter brought the wine and food.

The black-clad swordsman poured himself a bowl of wine. As if he noticed Chu Mo's gaze, he picked it up and raised it to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo picked up the tea on the table and returned the greeting.

The merchants were all muttering in low voices like frightened quails. Chu Mozhong, who suddenly felt bored, went upstairs after everyone signaled.

In a corner of Jingyu City, there is a desolate Taoist temple. The temple has only one house, and a stone statue is enshrined inside.

Judging from the incense burner in the courtyard, it seems to have been abandoned and no one burns incense or offers sacrifices there.

But right inside the house, there was a faint firelight, and a beggar with a messy hair, a black face, and a tattered cotton coat was resting here.

The beggar's eyes were dark and bright at night, with a unique look.

He slowly stood up and jumped onto the stone platform, then went around to the back of the stone statue. After some more work, a fist-sized hole appeared on the back of the statue. The beggar reached his hand in and touched it, as if he was touching some treasure.

When he touched it, one could see with the naked eye that he let out a long breath.

Then the beggar restored the stone statue to its original shape, jumped off the stone platform easily, walked to the campfire, picked up the roasted food and started eating.

Outside the Taoist temple, the moon was obscured by a cloud, and the courtyard without the moonlight looked even more dilapidated and desolate.

On another street in Jingyu City, several figures were moving quickly. The shadows moved stealthily, mostly walking in remote alleys.

Late at night, every household had already fallen asleep, and there was not a single light on the entire street.

The figures walked and stopped along the way, as if they were looking for something.

They moved silently through the streets and alleys, conducting a carpet search.

But they didn't know that a trap had already been set up ahead, just quietly waiting for their arrival.

There was a vague murderous intent in the darkness. Zhen Gang, the killer, seemed to have sensed the looming crisis in the dark. He directly transmitted the signal and the six people quickly gathered together.

"I don't know who is here, we have no ill intentions, please be kind and give us a favor."

Zhen Gang's deep voice sounded particularly loud in the silent night.

"Pah--Pah--Pah"

There was a burst of applause from the shadows in the far corner, and Xu Wenjie's figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

"You are so alert! Are you all sneaking around in the dark looking for something? Would you like to tell me? Maybe I can help you."

Zhen Gang's heart was filled with alarm. He slowly grasped the sword in his hand, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time. At the same time, he asked in confusion, "Who are you, and why are you looking for trouble with us?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenjie burst into laughter, laughing unrestrainedly, arrogantly, and crazily.

Soon, Xu Wenjie's face changed, revealing a hint of viciousness, and he said: "You guys are really forgetful. You searched everywhere for things two days ago, and you also killed my men. Now you pretend not to know me?"

"In that case, let me formally introduce myself. I am Xu Wenjie, the Imperial Censor of the Secret Guards of Baiwei County. I think you should know me by now."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Zhen Gang's eyes that were exposed. When he was ordered to search for the secret guards that day, he was accidentally discovered by someone. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he had to kill him to silence him.

I didn't expect that Xu Wenjie would come to my door so soon.

Xu Wenjie looked confident of winning and said slowly, "Everyone, I think as assassins, you should be paid to do things. Now I will give you a chance. Tell me who is behind this and I will spare your life."

Zhen Gang, Duan Shui and the other six were furious when they heard this. They were actually humiliated in this way. Sensing the aura coming from the surroundings, Zhen Gang said, "My fellow comrades, the other party may have set up an ambush here a long time ago. For now, we can only fight our way out."

"kill"

Following Zhen Gang's order, the six men used their skills to attack Huang Wenjie.

Just as they were about to take action, many arrows flew out from all directions and stopped them directly.

Zhen Gang used his sword to knock an arrow away. Feeling the power of the arrow, he said in a deep voice, "The opponent is probably an archer in the army. The arrows he shoots are very powerful. Everyone must be careful."

As soon as Zhen Gang finished speaking, they were greeted by a hail of arrows.

The six men used their skills to dodge the rain of arrows while shooting down the arrows with their swords.

Despite facing such a fierce attack, Zhen Gang was still constantly observing his surroundings, looking for opportunities to break through.

Xu Wenjie, who was standing aside and watching the show, had a serious expression on his face. He was well aware of the archery skills of Jingyu Guards, but these six people cooperated with each other, their auras were faintly connected, and they were not afraid of the arrows flying everywhere at all.

Xu Wenjie knew that the Jingyu Guards could no longer defeat them, so he could only say in a deep voice, "Guo Ziming, what are you waiting for? Come on, hurry up!"

The next second, a figure jumped out from the darkness, and his cultivation at the peak of the second level of Soul Condensation burst out, and he rushed towards the six people with a gun.

When Zhen just saw Guo Ziming jump out from the shadows, a different emotion flashed in his eyes.
