Chapter 154 Qin Family's Assassination
Not only Shen Nanfeng in Xuzhou, but many people in Yangzhou were also attacked.
Lu Shaoqing, Cen Hua and others were traveling through the woods more than ten miles away from Nanye City when suddenly a group of men in black appeared and surrounded them.
"Who are you?" Lu Shaoqing asked with a frown.
"The one who wants to kill you!" said the leading man in black.
Before he finished speaking, the men in black drew their weapons and attacked Lu Shaoqing, Cen Hua and others.
"Be careful!" Lu Shaoqing shouted and drew his sword to meet the enemy.
Amidst the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
Lu Shaoqing's swordsmanship was sharp and his martial arts were obviously superior to those of the killers. He killed one of them in an instant.
But his men were not so lucky. In the blink of an eye, three anti-Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
Cen Hua's martial arts skills have improved greatly since she started practicing martial arts with Lu Shaoqing. Although she can't kill the enemy as easily as Lu Shaoqing, she can at least deal with a killer calmly.
"Are you from Jiaozhou or Jingzhou?" Lu Shaoqing asked loudly while swinging his sword to kill the enemy.
The meaning of his words was very clear. If these killers came from Jiaozhou, they were Japanese pirates; if they came from Jingzhou, it could only be the Qin family's action.
"There's no need for a dead man to know so much." The leading killer replied with disdain. He had already seen that only Lu Shaoqing and Cen Hua were difficult to deal with, and the others were not a concern.
Lu Shaoqing smiled slyly and said faintly: "I advise you to speak out. It's quite boring to die with a secret."
As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance.
Ten members of the Night Spirit have arrived here, and the moment Lu Shaoqing was surrounded, he sent out a signal without hesitation.
Mo Ye had already arranged ten Night Spirit members around each important person to prevent any accidents.
Relying on their keen intuition, the killers realized that the people who came to support Lu Shaoqing were not to be underestimated, and each of them was as skilled in martial arts as them.
Faced with such a situation, they chose to retreat without hesitation.
However, how could Lu Shaoqing let them go so easily?
He quickly threw out several hidden weapons and chased after him, while the Night Spirit members followed closely behind and gave chase.
After half an incense stick of time, the eight killers were finally eliminated.
Four of them died, two were injured and two escaped.
At the same time, Chu He of Wu County, Sima Zhiru of Danyang County, Qu Haoming of Lujiang County, Zhong Fengxing of Kuaiji County and others were attacked one after another.
Sima Zhiru and Zhong Fengxing were unfortunately slightly injured, but Chu He and Qu Hao were safe and sound in the end because of their superb martial arts and the protection of the Night Spirit members.
Over the years, they have been living in hiding, always on guard, much more cautious than Shen Nanfeng. In addition, members of the Night Spirit have always been guarding nearby, which has kept them safe.
However, Shen Nanfeng, who was attacked in Xuzhou, was not so lucky. The hairpin in the woman's hand was firmly inserted into his chest.
"south wind!"
Huo Yanruo was quick-witted and kicked the woman away, but the hairpin had already penetrated half an inch into Shen Nanfeng's chest, and blood instantly flowed out along the hairpin.
"Murder! Murder!" After a few screams of fear, the surrounding vendors scattered, and seven or eight masked men holding long knives rushed out from somewhere and surrounded Shen Nanfeng and Huo Yanruo.
"Are you okay?" Huo Yanruo only glanced at Shen Nanfeng's chest, and then focused his attention on the killers, "How deep is the wound?"
Shen Nanfeng sat on the ground, pressed the hairpin, felt it for a while and said with a wry smile: "It's only half an inch, it doesn't seem like I'll die."
Huo Yanruo looked at the killers around him, threw out a medicine bottle and said, "Not necessarily. The wound is not deep. Pull it out, apply medicine, and press the wound!"
Shen Nanfeng took the medicine bottle, pressed the wound with one hand, gritted his teeth and pulled out the hairpin, and quickly sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound with the other hand, and immediately pressed it. The piercing pain immediately made him sweat profusely.
Upon seeing this, the two masked men immediately attacked Huo Yanruo, while the others guarded all the retreat directions.
Although there were only two people, Huo Yanruo was able to suppress them, but he still couldn't defeat them after thirty moves. He could only swing his sword with all his might to repel them.
Although Shen Nanfeng did not know martial arts, he had seen too many fighting scenes and he understood that Huo Yanruo was probably no match for this group of people.
He endured the pain and whispered, "Yan Ruo, go by yourself. We are afraid that we will be exposed. Tell Mo Ye and Mu Shijun quickly and ask them to be more careful."
One of the masked men coldly warned the two men: "You can't leave. If you are smart, surrender and follow us back, we can spare your lives."
Huo Yanruo ignored him and directly helped Shen Nanfeng up: "Be sure to hold the wound. This place is very close to the county government office. As long as we hold on until the soldiers arrive, we will be fine!"
"Yan Ruo, don't be silly," Shen Nanfeng was very clear-headed, "The governor of Langya County was recommended by the Qin family. It's good enough that he doesn't help these killers to deal with us."
The masked killer didn't give them much time to whisper, as three more killers came at them from behind.
Huo Yanruo could barely suppress two killers when facing them alone, but now she was facing three killers and had to protect Shen Nanfeng, she was obviously feeling very exhausted.
With her hands and feet restrained in this way, after only twenty moves, her left arm was cut.
"What great skills!" Huo Yanruo couldn't help but sigh, "These people would be top-notch masters in the martial arts world."
"It's all my fault," Shen Nanfeng, who was always optimistic, began to blame himself. "I don't know martial arts, and I let Mo Ye leave those Night Spirit members in the suburbs. Yan Ruo, I'm sorry."
"Stop saying these useless words. Remember, if you can go back alive this time, you must practice martial arts well!" Huo Yanruo said while observing the surrounding environment and looking for an opportunity to escape.
Shen Nanfeng looked at Huo Yanruo guiltily, and gently touched her cheek with his bloody right hand, saying, "From now on, I will listen to you in everything, but it seems that we can't escape."
"Press your wound well and don't move, otherwise you won't survive even if you escape!" Huo Yanruo glared at Shen Nanfeng, but just as Shen Nanfeng said, they really couldn't escape.
As the killer continued to attack, Huo Yanruo had more and more wounds on her body. Blood stained her clothes red, and her originally cold face turned extremely pale. She was no longer able to hold on, and sat down with Shen Nanfeng, who had lost too much blood.
They knew in their hearts that these killers did not intend to take their lives immediately, but wanted to capture them alive. Otherwise, they would probably have died long ago.
Not far away, a raging fire broke out in an inn. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky. Shen Nanfeng used all his strength to look towards the place where the fire started and found that it was his residence.
He realized that all this was premeditated and the enemy had obviously been planning it for a long time.
Shen Nanfeng was full of regret at this time. He should have been more cautious, but now the enemy had found an opportunity to take advantage of him. Not only did he betray Mo Ye's trust, but he also put Huo Yanruo into danger.
"Don't waste your energy. No one will come to save you here. Just come back with us obediently." A masked killer said coldly.
Huo Yanruo looked at the killers getting closer and closer, a trace of despair flashed in her eyes. She was no longer able to lift the sword in her hand, and could only hand a pill to Shen Nanfeng.
"It's all over, Nanfeng, don't implicate other brothers." Huo Yanruo said calmly, and then she prepared to take the pill.
Just then, a crisp sound of metal collision was heard.
I saw a long spear flying from the air like a meteor, and heavily stabbed into the ground in front of the two people. The tip of the spear was more than three inches into the ground. The powerful impact even forced the surrounding killers to take a few steps back.
