Tonight, Zhao Huan will take his guards to Kun County to take up his post. He will stay at the post station for one night. If he misses this opportunity, it will be even more difficult later.

So, after having lunch and changing Sister Yao's medicine, Guan Ning led his men on their way out.

squeak...

The weather at the end of June was extremely hot, and insects were chirping non-stop in the suburbs.

"Prince, please have some water." Someone handed him a kettle.

Guan Ning took a look and said, "Why does this kettle look a bit feminine?"

Someone laughed and said, "Sir, these are what women use. Miss Qin Yao asked us to bring them to you when you left. She also asked us to bring these, saying they were for you to eat on the road."

Guan Ning looked and saw that the bundle was full of various dried fruits and meats.

He smiled knowingly and couldn't help but sigh that with a woman in the family, things were really different. Sister Yao began to take care of his life.

He couldn't help but feel that he had an extra responsibility on his shoulders, and he was more determined to accumulate more strength to protect everyone around him.

Five hours later, we arrived at Ma Mu Post Station.

This is an inn located among the mountains in the suburbs. It is sparsely populated and cool in the shade. Standing in the mountain stream, you can look up and see the sunset in the sky falling bit by bit.

When Guan Ning arrived, Yu Dilong quickly appeared.

"Your humble servant greets the prince."

Guan Ning nodded and glanced at the post station not far away. The main building was tall, with green tiles and stone walls. It covered a large area and was surrounded by mountains. It would be a good cemetery!

"How is it, is everything done?"

"Your Highness, everything has been done. We are just waiting for the enemy to come to our door." Yu Dilong clasped his fists.

Guan Ning nodded.

"Stop the horses and let's go in and have a drink of water."

"It'll probably take another two hours for them to arrive."

"Yes!"

After they met and had a brief conversation, they disguised themselves as ordinary people and entered the post station.

This post station is very large, with hundreds of sleeping rooms alone, and the open space can also be used to set up tents. It can't be said to be very lively, but it is definitely a mixed crowd.

If you want to assassinate someone, this is undoubtedly the best cover.

"Sir, please come inside."

"Our shop has the best Huadiao, and..." the enthusiastic waiter kept introducing.

boom!

At this moment, Guan Ning accidentally bumped into the shoulder of someone who was walking towards him.

Then their eyes met briefly.

What kind of eyes were those, cold and deep, like an abyss that could swallow up anyone's gaze.

Just one glance and Guan Ning was frightened. It was so dangerous!

But this person was wrapped in a white robe and a bamboo hat. He was wrapped so tightly that nothing could be seen. He was just holding a green sword in his hand and soon disappeared from sight.

"Prince, what's wrong?" Yu Dilong and others were suspicious.

"There's something special about that person who just walked past." Guan Ning muttered.

"what?"

"Isn't he just an ordinary person?"

"There are many people like this in the world." Yu Dilong explained, not thinking there was anything special about it.

Guan Ning shook his head. He was a second-generation human being and had an extraordinary vision. Ordinary people could never have that kind of eyes that were as cold as an iceberg, let alone make him feel a sense of danger.

He was certain that the person he passed by was no ordinary person.

But whether it was simple or not had nothing to do with him. He came here tonight to kill the scumbag Zhao Huan.

So he didn't pay much attention to it, entered the lobby of the inn, asked for a few rooms, and then sat down by the window at the main door and the back door on the first floor.

All the Twelve Earthly Fiends have come. They are good at disguising themselves, and sitting here, they look no different from ordinary people.

Guan Ning drank some wine and waited quietly for the night to fall.

If the information Pei Nan gave was correct, then tonight would be an easy assassination. He could even rush back to the capital in the second half of the night to chat with Sister Yao about life and create an alibi.

But for some reason, when Guan Ning sat by the window, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, making his back feel cold.

In his previous life as a special forces soldier, he dealt with death every day, which forged his strong anti-reconnaissance awareness. The feeling of being stared at made him feel very uncomfortable.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, and tried several times to find out who was looking at him, but unfortunately he found nothing.

The post station was bustling with people of all kinds, filled with the aroma of wine and meat. Everything could not be more normal.

In this way, time passed by minute by minute, and it was dark.

The entire post station was shrouded in mountains. The moonlight cast tiny shadows on the woods in the suburbs, forming a sharp contrast with the noisy sounds of wine and meat in the post station.

"Hey!!"

The sound of horses stopping could be heard outside the post station.

Guan Ning's ears moved, and his eyes opened instantly, emitting a sharp light.

"Here we are, about fifty people, no more, no less."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dilong and the others looked outside in shock. Could they even hear this? But they soon became accustomed to it. Over the past year, what the prince had displayed was indeed too extraordinary.

boom!

The door of the post station was violently pushed open, instantly startling everyone who was eating and drinking inside, and they all looked over.

Some people wanted to curse loudly, but when they saw the people standing outside, they chose to remain silent.

I saw a large number of soldiers with swords walking in from the door. They were dressed in armor and looked very majestic. They looked around with an extremely proud look.

They gathered around a young man in brocade clothes with a pale face as he walked in. This young man in brocade clothes looked at least 70% similar to Zhao Qing, but Zhao Qing was fat while this man was very thin, with a pale and puffy face, as if his body had been hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a sinister contrast, and that was Zhao Huan, my target tonight.

The entire post station suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.

"Cough, cough, cough!" He coughed, covered his nose with a handkerchief, and said with disgust, "What a smelly place."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the guests in the entire inn looked slightly unhappy!

But Zhao Huan didn't care at all. He said to the shopkeeper calmly, "Otherwise, if I were passing by here tonight and had nowhere to go, I would definitely not come to a place like yours where pigs and dogs hang out."

"Clear the place immediately and clean everything. I will not eat with inferiors."

His tone and eyes were full of arrogance and disgust.

The innkeeper looked embarrassed and was instantly in a dilemma.

Before the shopkeeper could say anything, someone got angry.

boom!

There was a dark-skinned man who was full of blood and could not stand the insult, so he punched the table with a loud noise.

"Watch your mouth, you bastard!"

"Who is the pig dog?"

"You think you're great just because you're an official?"

"That's right, if you don't want to come in, then don't come in. Why should we leave?" The four people at that table stood up and argued.

The other guests looked relieved, but did not dare to stand up.

"You're looking for death!" The officers and soldiers guards cursed loudly, and the leader was about to draw his sword.

"Eh!"

Zhao Huan immediately stopped them, shouting, "What are you doing? Don't move! People who don't know would think we're bullying the common people by taking advantage of our power."

"Yes!"

Zhao Huan then stepped forward and smiled, "Brother, I was wrong just now. I apologize."
