Chapter 498: The Second Daughter of the Heroine of Niang Daowen (2)

Ning Yuan opened his eyes in the darkness and looked at Yin Ling silently.

coming.

The two had been prepared. They had recently investigated many villages and found some clues, which might have aroused the suspicion of this group of people.

I just couldn't guess their true identities, so I decided to strike first.

Ning Yuan stood up, drew out his sword, and with a few moves he was already fighting against the group of men in black.

As he moved, the Shadow Guards also appeared from the darkness and protected Yin Ling in the middle.

The sound of swords clashing woke up the sleeping people. Fei Dajin reacted quickly and at a command, the people from the escort agency also joined the melee.

Gu Zhen jumped up and got out of the carriage to check. In the light of the fire, this group of men in black were full of murderous intent. Every blow of their sword was lethal and they fought without regard for their lives.

I'm afraid he won't stop easily unless he kills this entire team.

"That's them!" Siqin jumped off the carriage at the back and pointed at one of the men in black. "I remember him. He held a knife in his left hand and was extremely cruel!"

Gu Zhen looked at the man, and he was indeed a left-handed swordsman. He was nearly two meters tall and extremely sturdy. Not only was he very strong, but his body was also surprisingly agile.

When Ning Yuan faced him, he both looked as thin as scholars.

However, Ning Yuan's kung fu was very good, and the big man was unable to break out with his men for a while.

Gu Zhen pulled Si Qin over and said, "Bring all the children here. Gather together. Don't be left alone!"

The nine children were quite brave and stood hand in hand with Gu Zhen and the others.

They were calm, but the rest of the people were seeing this scene for the first time. Even the merchant Bai Changqing was a little panicked.

This is not an ordinary bandit robber, this is a professional killer!

Bai Changqing hurriedly led the horse over, turned over and mounted it, "Hurry up, we can't afford to offend such a person!"

His two companions had no horses, so they crawled and tumbled after them. The escort team tried to stop them, but couldn't.

When Bai Changqing ran away, many people followed him. They were businessmen and did not want to be involved in any revenge assassination. The man in black might not care where they went at all.

The team was suddenly in chaos. Some people were reluctant to part with their goods and money, so they bravely took their valuables. Others, who valued their lives, gave up everything and just tried to escape.

Just as Bai Changqing was riding his horse into the forest, a sharp and piercing sound of horseback breaking through the air was suddenly heard, accompanied by a sharp neigh, heading straight towards the group of people fleeing for their lives.

Bai Changqing let out a miserable howl, covered his chest and fell off his horse. Without even a word of last words, he died with his head tilted.

"Ah!!! ...

Bai Changqing's death was sudden, and people were even more confused and in a dilemma. Fei Dajin had no choice but to withdraw and rush over to maintain order.

"Everyone, don't panic. Get behind the escort team. There's an ambush in the woods. If you go out, you'll die!"

There is a tiger in front and a wolf behind, it is obviously a premeditated assassination.

Ning Yuan had an ominous premonition in his heart. What happened tonight was strange and bizarre. He secretly brought the prince back and went to the north to investigate the matter under the order of the emperor. Could it be that the news had leaked?

Even the Queen found it difficult to tell at a glance the authenticity of the Prince's substitute who stayed in Qizhou Town. Logically, no one should have noticed that the real Prince was already on his way north.

Ning Yuan was extremely alert and tried his best to resist the attack of the group of men in black.

Yin Ling was protected by others and kept retreating. He would not put himself in danger unless it was absolutely necessary and just defended himself.

Soon, they retreated to stand with the people and were surrounded.

Not only were there men in black, but there were also killers hiding in the woods chasing after them. There were many of them, and they were very skilled.

Gu Zhen also saw clearly the group of men in black. Their exposed eyebrows and eyes showed the appearance of northern barbarians, with thick eyebrows and large, round eyes.

The big man leader was still chattering something, Gu Zhen couldn't understand it, but Si Qin understood a little.

"He said not to spare any life," Si Qin said nervously, "The prince... the prince must leave no one alive!"

Gu Zhen's heart trembled. Yin Ling was indeed the prince.

It seems that they have suffered an unexpected disaster.

The purpose of the barbarians was simple: to commit more murders and cause conflicts between the people and the imperial court so that they could reap the benefits.

Gu Zhen clenched the dagger in his hand and said, "Protect everyone. If necessary, run for your lives. Don't go to the forest ahead. Everyone, use your belongings to block your way. Run eastward from here. There is no dense forest over there to hide people. Maybe there is still a chance of survival."

There is no other way at the moment, I can only blame myself for my bad luck.

Yin Ling, who had retreated and was close to them, heard this and looked at Gu Zhen differently. He was considered calm among the panicked people.

"Sir, I will escort you out first. If we get surrounded, they have so many people and it will be hard for us to break out!" Ning Yuan escaped under the cover of his subordinates and whispered, "The situation is not good."

Yin Ling looked at the battle situation with a serious face. They had miscalculated today.

"Run east. I'm leaving. You stay here to protect the people. Don't abandon them!"

Ning Yuan took the order and had his men take Yin Ling to retreat, while he continued to fight the enemy, trying to delay the group of people.

Sure enough, as soon as Yin Ling left, the big man in black waved his hand, and most of the people followed Yin Ling. There were rustling sounds in the woods not far away, and they were probably heading towards Yin Ling.

Ning Yuan and his team have already exhausted a lot of energy due to the opponent's desperate fighting style. If it weren't for the escort team who were still struggling to hold on, they would probably have all been wiped out tonight.

Gu Zhen and Si Qin soon joined the battle. Their unique methods helped Ning Yuan to gain a glimmer of hope.

There were many corpses lying on the ground, including Shadow Guards, men in black, and members of the Escort Team.

Ning Yuan supported his sword and gritted his teeth to avoid a knife attack, but the big man in black suddenly turned around and slashed at Ning Yuan's back, brushing past him.

Right behind him was Gu Fan, who was protecting several children and retreating.

Ning Yuan got anxious and didn't care about anything else. He turned around and fought back quickly. The big man in black seized his loophole, turned around and kicked Ning Yuan in the heart.

"Master Ning!" Seeing that he was injured while saving him, Gu Fan felt extremely guilty and wanted to rush over to help him up.

Ning Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood and said with difficulty: "Run, don't worry about me!"

Just as the man in black was about to chop off this troublesome young man from the Central Plains with another blow, a dagger spun and stabbed at his face at such a fast speed that he had to raise his knife to dodge.

Ning Yuan took the opportunity to escape, and in a hurry he could only see that it was Gu Zhen's man who saved him.

Seeing that if this continued, everyone would die here, Gu Zhen picked up a torch and threw it on the goods. The weather was dry, so the goods caught fire immediately.

Siqin followed her actions and poured wine into it. The flames burned fiercely, hindering the enemy's progress.

No matter how much the common people and the escorts cared about the goods, they knew that escaping was the most important thing, so they followed suit and fled in all directions, taking cover of the fire.

Si Qin and Gu Fan carried Ning Yuan and ran eastward with the Shadow Guards.

Gu Zhen asked Wei Fengrong to follow with the children, while she stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Fortunately, after a fierce battle, there were only a few men in black left. They could no longer chase these ordinary people, so they came out from the fire and chased eastward together.

Killing the prince is their mission on this trip.

Gu Zhen cut the reins with a knife, letting the horses escape. She picked up one and chased eastward.
