You are my golden finger

Chapter 85 Counterattack

The two got the information they wanted and brought a large amount of income to the space, so they returned to Prince Xu's Mansion contentedly.

He stayed in the space leisurely for two days, sorting out the evidence of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Third Prince's crimes.

It was estimated that General Peng and his entourage had almost reached Qin Pass, so they returned at night.

The two people who returned to the team did not show up, but hid in the team, waiting for an opportunity to act.

The Qinguan area is very mountainous and the terrain is extremely steep, so it is easy to set up ambushes in many places. That afternoon, General Peng and his entourage came to a canyon. The peaks on both sides were towering and reached the sky. The valley was narrow and rocky, and the narrowest part was only wide enough for a carriage to pass through.

An Yi, who had already received Murong Xu's order, quickly signaled General Peng to lead a group of soldiers to rest at the valley entrance, and he led his guards wearing riot gear into the valley to investigate. Lin Xijin released the wolves, and he and Murong Xu hid in the head wolf, and entered the valley faster than An Yi and his men.

The wolves had an extremely sharp sense of smell, and soon they discovered the enemies hiding on the hillsides on both sides. The two men in riot gear signaled the leader to a hidden place and emerged from space. The one with two exposed eyes probably wouldn't be recognized by his parents even if they were there.

Lin Xijin called back the wolves, and Murong Xu whistled a few times, and the guards split into two groups and went to the middle of the mountain to attack the enemy. The two also appeared and killed the enemy.

The Wuming Pavilion's assassins were indeed very skilled, and rarely missed orders. Besides, the mission was just to kill a few prisoners, and if there was a chance to kill the Ninth Prince, there would be extra money. I thought it was an easy mission to complete, but it was a complete failure.

The guards were all extremely skilled, and they were equipped with bows and crossbows, so they could attack unexpectedly. Lin Xijin and Murong Xu were extremely fast, leaving only a shadow behind when they flew by. They used mysterious means to kill the assassins. Sometimes they would shoot a few times to save An Yi and others. Who with flesh and blood could withstand the attack of modern hot weapons?

In just two quarters of an hour, dozens of assassins from Wuming Pavilion were killed. The two would not show the slightest mercy to these unscrupulous profit-seeking people who disregarded other people's lives.

Leaving An Yi and the others to clean up the mess, the two hid their merits and fame and went into space to soak in spiritual springs and eat delicious food. Murong Xu rode away on horseback only after General Peng and his group passed through smoothly.

Lin Xijin and Murong Xu knew that this round of assassination was still basically a test, and the next round would be the one where the Third Prince would do his utmost to kill.

Although the two men overheard that Murong Sheng had arranged the ambush location in Jincheng, they were still a little worried. They would investigate every dangerous place first. Finally, they arrived at Wulin Town near Jincheng safely.

Wuzhui Peak is the only way to enter Jincheng. There are many peaks here, and the mountains are steep. The mountains are densely forested and green, making it a good place for concealed raids.

Lin Xijin marveled at the wonders of nature and hated those demons who wanted to turn nature's check-in destinations into slaughterhouses.

Murong Xu also mobilized a group of people from Kyoto for this battle. They were lurking nearby, ready to stop the killing with killing and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

Lin Xijin and Murong Xu, along with An Yi and several other men, sneaked into the enemy's ambush position ahead of the Royal Guards.

Huh! Good fellow! It seems that Murong Sheng really spent a lot of money to get rid of his brother. There were densely packed black-clad men lying in ambush in the bushes halfway up the mountain, at least tens of thousands of them.

Murong Xu didn't have time to think about too much, so he gave an order and everyone pulled out grenades as an appetizer, blowing the men in black into pieces.

The throwing of grenades did not stop until the guards and the ambush personnel arrived.

The two sides fought halfway up the mountain. Murong Xu's men were well-equipped. They wore riot gear and charged into the crowd, not afraid of swords and knives. They swung their sabers and chopped at the heads of the men in black. The sabers were so sharp that they were like chopping melons and vegetables, and they soon gained the upper hand.

But the enemy had the advantage in numbers, and some of them rushed down the mountain to kill the prisoners including Deputy General Huang. But General Peng was not a pushover, and he had already prepared for the battle, so the soldiers quickly killed them on the spot.

In the end, only three martial arts masters were left alive. Their lower jaws were removed, the poison sacs in their mouths were taken out, and their tendons in their hands and feet were removed. They were then imprisoned together with Deputy General Huang and escorted back to Beijing.

The Jincheng governor will take care of the collection and burial of the bodies.

With the obstacles cleared, the rest of the return journey was smooth sailing. After another eight days of marching, we finally returned to Kyoto.

Murong Xu changed back to his true form, wearing silver armor, like a god, riding on the Ferghana horse produced by Lin Xijin's space.

As soon as we entered the outer city gate, we were met with waves of screams, and flowers and handkerchiefs were thrown all the way.

The emperor led all the ministers to greet them at the inner city gate. Murong Xu and General Peng dismounted to pay their respects, and the emperor personally helped them up and gave them sufficient honors and favors.

It was not until he looked up and saw several prisoner carts and discovered that the Northern Qiang Prince Ashinali, the commander-in-chief Tuoba Zhuoer, and the deputy general Huang were among them that he restrained the smile on his face, his face darkened, and he ordered the dragon guards to take the prisoners to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation.

When the Third Prince saw the detained people, his awkwardly smiling face turned pale in an instant and he forced himself to remain calm.

Murong Xu glanced at him meaningfully, a mocking smile flashed across his face, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Without caring about the heartbreak of the wealthy girls left behind, she followed the emperor's sedan chair and left proudly.
