Chapter 177 Catching the Assassin
The cold light of the dagger still left a shallow bloody mark on his cheek.
The man in black did not give up after missing the first strike. He swung the dagger again and attacked Hakcha Flying Eagle.
Hakecha Flying Eagle's eyes were wide open, and he raised the sword in his hand and started a life-and-death battle with the man in black.
The sword shadows and knife lights intertwined, and the collision produced dazzling sparks.
The black-clad men's moves were strange and brutal, but Hakecha Eagle put up a tenacious resistance with his superb martial arts and rich combat experience.
Hakecha Flying Eagle wondered in his heart, who on earth is this man in black?
Why did they appear here and launch a sudden attack on him?
Is he related to the person who intercepted the letter before?
A series of questions swirled in his mind, but he had no time to think about them at the moment. He could only concentrate on dealing with the dangerous enemy in front of him.
Mu Lanfeng looked at the flashing swords and sabers in front of him. The black-clothed man's moves were very strange, but Hakecha Flying Eagle was obviously more skilled.
Soon, Hakecha Eagle gained the upper hand.
Hakecha Feiying is worthy of being the general who assists the administration of Xilin. He has a strong physique, sharp moves, and attacks with powerful momentum, gradually forcing the man in black into a desperate situation.
The man in black gradually lost the upper hand in the fierce battle with Hakecha Eagle, his moves became more and more chaotic, and his breath became disordered.
Hakecha Eagle became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and each of his moves was as powerful as thunder.
The man in black resisted with difficulty, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
With a powerful blow from Hakecha Eagle, the weapon in the black-clothed man's hand was knocked away, and the man staggered back a few steps.
The man in black knew that he had no chance of winning. A trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, turned around and quickly fled.
Hakecha Flying Eagle did not chase after him immediately, but stood where he was, watching the black-clad man's receding back.
"Catch the assassin! There is an assassin!" Mu Lanfeng hid in the dark, pinched his nose, deliberately lowered his voice, and exclaimed in panic.
The exclamation sounded suddenly in the silent night. Hakecha Eagle was obviously unable to react when he heard the sudden shout.
He was slightly stunned, his eyes flashing like lightning as he quickly glanced around, but he couldn't find where the shouting came from.
At this moment, he knew in his heart that it was not advisable to stay here for long and he had to leave as soon as possible.
His figure flashed like a ghost, and he quickly rushed into the darkness at an astonishing speed.
His figure was like a ghost in the dark night, silent and disappearing into the vast night in the blink of an eye.
The movements were light and swift, without making any unnecessary sounds.
At this time, the night patrol servant of the mansion came running over after hearing the noise.
They held lanterns in their hands, and the flames illuminated the surrounding area.
Everyone looked nervous and looked around, trying to find any trace of the assassin.
"I just heard someone shouting to catch the assassin. Where is he?" a servant asked loudly.
"The sound seems to come from Wuquexuan?"
Several servants in charge of night patrol stood in front of the tightly closed door of Wuqiuxuan, looking at each other, their expressions full of hesitation, and no one dared to raise their hand to knock on the door first.
Someone suggested: "Why don't we go report this to the Prime Minister first and see what he says?"
"What are you afraid of? We are going to capture the assassin. If the assassin is really hiding in Wuque Pavilion, who can bear the responsibility?" Some people disagreed.
Everyone felt that what he said made sense!
"Well, you go and report to the Prime Minister, and we'll go in and take a look first!"
While a few people were still hesitating, they saw Mu Xun rushing over with two servants!
"What's wrong? Where is the assassin?" Mu Xun asked in panic and anxiety.
The leading servant replied respectfully, "We didn't see the assassin, we just heard the shouting and rushed over. The shouting came from the Wuque Pavilion!"
"Then what are you still doing here? Go in and check! If anything happens to the lady, you'll have to watch out for your heads!" Mu Xun was furious and shouted.
"Yes!" The leading servant was filled with panic and walked forward tremblingly to knock on the door.
"You bunch of trash, why are you still knocking on the door at this time! Get out of the way!" Mu Xun said angrily.
His eyes were wide open and veins bulged on his forehead, like an angry lion.
After saying that, he took a step forward and kicked the tightly closed door of Wuquexuan hard.
There was a loud "boom" and the door of Wuquexuan collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.
The huge noise was like a thunderclap, particularly deafening in the silent night, causing the hearts of everyone present to tremble.
"Go in and search!" Mu Xun gave an order, and several servants on night patrol quickly rushed into Wuqiuxuan and looked around.
Jiang came hurriedly upon hearing the noise, her hair a little disheveled, and she didn't even have time to put on her coat.
She looked at the servants who were checking around the courtyard, and her heart was suddenly in a panic. She lowered her head slightly, and after anxiously scanning the surroundings, she asked with a little grievance: "Prime Minister, what's going on? Why did you kick the door for no reason?"
"Madam, don't panic! I just heard that an assassin broke into Wuque Pavilion, and I was worried about your safety. In a hurry, I kicked the door." Mu Xun pretended to comfort her in a soft voice.
Although his words seemed concerned, there was a subtle flash of calculation in his eyes.
"Assassin? Has the assassin been caught?" Jiang asked with pretended concern.
"No trace of the assassin has been found for the time being!" Mu Xun shook his head, his expression slightly solemn.
Jiang felt a little relieved. She thought to herself that with Hakecha Feiying's superb martial arts, not many people could stop him.
She guessed that the man in black was probably discovered while escaping, which caused such a big commotion.
The night watchman searched the courtyard carefully but found nothing. Then he came to report to Mu Xun, "Sir, we searched everywhere in the courtyard but found no trace of the assassin!"
Mu Xun stroked his beard, his expression relaxed a little, he took a long breath, turned to look at Jiang, and said gently: "Madam, since there is no trace of the assassin, that's good. I can rest assured now, Madam, go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, I will find someone to repair the gate."
After hearing what Mu Xun said, Jiang nodded slightly. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she didn't say anything more. She went into the house with Chunlan's help.
Mu Xun looked at Jiang's back, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Mu Lanfeng hid in the dark, watching everything that happened in Wuqiuxuan, with his thoughts surging in his heart.
She was certain that the man in black who attacked Hakecha Flying Eagle must be someone sent by Mu Xun to monitor the Jiang family.
But I don’t know why it was exposed?
As the regent general of Xilin, why did you rashly break into the capital of another country?
What is the purpose of such action?
It seems that Xilin and Tianluo have the intention of forming an alliance.
But between Xilin and Tianluo, there is a Gumo.
Even if there is a possibility of an alliance between the two countries, I think they will not easily skip Gumo.
If these three countries attack Longyuan at the same time, the consequences will be disastrous.
It is really hard to predict whether Longyuan can withstand the joint offensive of the three countries under such powerful pressure!
When Mu Lanfeng thought about this, he became more frightened.
Trade between countries should be a good thing, but if some spies with ulterior motives sneak in, it would be very difficult to detect.
It is also because of this that no matter how many spies are cleared out in Liuyue City, another group comes, and it is always difficult to clear them all out. It is like an endless tide that makes people exhausted to deal with!
After everything had returned to silence, Mu Lanfeng returned to Ziyunxuan quietly and silently like a hidden shadow.
At this moment, Ziyunxuan seemed particularly quiet under the cover of night!
Mu Lanfeng stepped in lightly, her thoughts surging as she recalled everything she had just seen in the dark, which made her feel deeply uneasy.
Although the situation seems calm, there are actually undercurrents that may cause huge waves at any time!
Mu Lanfeng was not sleepy at this moment. The uncontrollable situation kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She sat at the table, carefully sorting the pills she brought out from the Divine Doctor Valley. Although a lot of those rare pills had been given to Li Zeqi, the remaining ones were definitely not ordinary ones.
It can come in handy at critical moments!
The Tianluo border is guarded by her second brother Mu Qingyang. Under such circumstances, perhaps she could send him a letter?
But this letter cannot be written by her herself; she must find someone who will not easily attract other people's attention to write it.
Mu Lanfeng thought about it again and again, and finally found a suitable candidate...
