741 Assassination in the Night


    Jiang Zhennan stood there coldly. When he saw Qi Ran rushing over, he immediately shouted loudly, ” Hmph, what big words! I’d like to see how powerful the assassin from the Broken souls pavilion is!”


    As he spoke, Jiang Zhennan picked up his big sword and blocked Qi Ran’s big sword.


    When two sabers shed, one would definitely lose!


    With a ng, Qi Ran’s broadsword was broken into two.


    Then, Qi Ran clutched his chest and knelt on the ground.


    Jiang Zhennan slowly walked over and stood in front of him. He looked at Qi ran expressionlessly, whose face waspletely pale because he had lost his veil during the fight, and said, ” there was once a leader of the Broken Souls Pavilion who chased after me. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be saved by someone. But today, you don’t have such luck.”


    When Qi Ran heard what he said, he stared at Jiang Zhennan in disbelief. Then, he pointed at Jiang Zhennan with a weak finger and said, ” you… you’re… Jiang…”


    After that, he could no longer speak.


    That was because he had died from his injuries.


    His injury was caused by Jiang Zhennan’s stab at his heart.


    When the ghost-masked men saw that Qi Ran was dead, they looked at each other and immediately left.


    Tonight’s fight was not over yet, so Jiang Zhennan continued to stand guard here.


    At the official post house, Yuwen Feiye paced back and forth in the study room, his expression extremely anxious.


    The three aides looked calm on the surface, but in reality, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.


    It was alreadyte at night, but they had yet to receive any news.


    They had a bad feeling in their hearts that the assassination tonight would not go smoothly, but no one dared to say anything at this moment.


    The huge wealth of the Liu family was a huge temptation.


    Yuwen Feiye was eager to get his hands on the wealth and use it for himself. He could use it to bribe officials, recruit soldiers, or use it for his private army. Everything required money.


    With officials, soldiers, and horses, he would have something to rely on to ascend the throne.


    Therefore, tonight’s operation could only seed. Failure was not an option.


    In order to not leave any traces, all the people in the inn must be killed!


    He even nned to burn down the inn.


    Everything had been nned.


    Thus, he sent out 80% of the Broken Souls pavilion’s forces to surround Fortune inn.


    However, a long time had passed, and there was still no news.


    “Your highness, why doesn’t this subordinate go and take a look?” Guard Qi also had a bad feeling.


    Just now, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he was about to lose something very important or someone very important.


    The operation tonight was led by his younger twin brother, so he was extremely worried.


    Yuwen Feiye nodded, “yes!”


    Guard Qi quickly left the study, leaving the four behind to experience the torment of waiting again.


    In the darkness of Fortune Inn, the killing was still going on.


    However, the Broken Souls pavilion, which had lost its leader, was obviously no longer fighting as hard.


    In the room, Liu Yichen asked indifferently, “How’s the situation?”


    The little old man replied, “Except for a few people who were struggling on the brink of death, most of them have been eliminated.”


    Liu Yichen replied indifferently, “yes, not bad!”


    However, after a moment, the little old man said hesitantly, “Master, Qi Ran, the second-in-charge of the broken soul Pavilion, broke through the encirclement and escaped to the third floor. He wants to escape from the west side of the third floor. However, he met someone who blocked his way.”


    Liu Yichen immediately smiled and asked with interest, “Who was it? Is it a friend or a Foe?”


    The little old man thought for a moment and replied, ” This subordinate doesn’t know who he is or what his identity is. However, these days, like master, he has been staying in the heaven-ranked room on the third floor!”


    When Liu Yichen heard this, he became even more interested. “Oh, then why did he block the escape route of the second head of the Broken Souls pavilion? Don’t tell me they have a grudge against each other?”


    The little old man shook his head in confusion and said, ” Master, I’m not very clear about these things. However, from the moment the people from the Broken Souls Pavilion entered, he had been standing guard on the third floor. It was as if he was protecting someone.”


    “Oh?” Liu Yichen immediately fell into deep thought. “Is there anyone on the third floor that needs his protection? ”


    He thought for a moment, and then his eyes immediately lit up. “Could it be…”


    …


    In Lin yun’s room, Lin Xujie reported to lin yun, “Master, just now, the second-inmand of the broken soul pavilion tried to break through the third floor and escape in the direction of the big tree. However, he was blocked by a young man holding a big knife. Then, the young man killed the leader of this group with just one move.”


    Lin Yun touched little green, which was a jade bracelet in the eyes of Lin Xujie and the others. She chuckled and scolded, “This fool. He has been here for so many days, yet he only knows how to hide in the dark. He doesn’t evene to find me directly.”


    Lin Xujie and Lin Qingsong were immediately confused.


    “Master, who are you talking about?”


    Immediately, Lin yun stood up and was about to leave, but she immediately ordered, “You don’t have to follow me. I’ll go out and take a look by myself.”


    The people outside were in a panic. Their master wanted to go out alone. Lin Xujie and Lin Qingsong immediately felt a little worried and said, “Master, it’s dangerous outside now. Let us apany you.”


    Lin Yun shook her head and said, ” no need. This time, I’m just going to meet an old friend. Nothing will happen.”


    Lin Xujie and Lin Qingsong continued to stay in the room.


    Lin Yun stepped out of the room and headed straight for the stairs that Jiang Zhennan was guarding.


    Just as Lin yun passed by a room, the door opened with a creak.


    When Lin yun saw the person who had walked out, she smiled and called out, ” big brother!”


    Liu Yichen was a little surprised to see Lin yun at this moment. He smiled and said, “Little sister, you can’t sleep either? ”


    Lin yun smiled and said, “That’s right. There were too many bugs outside, and they were disturbing my sleep, so I came out to take a look. ”


    Liu Yichen smiled and said, ” oh, big brother is the same too! Why don’t we take a walk together?”


    Where would they go in this chaotic situation?


    But Lin yun and Liu Yichen just walked along the corridor calmly.


    Jiang Zhennan’s martial arts were strong, his inner force was profound, and his hearing was sensitive. As soon as Lin yun stepped out of the room, he heard the movement.


    He reflexively wanted to find a ce to hide, but he also hoped that Lin Yun woulde to find him.


    However, when he saw Lin yun and Liu Yichen walking toward him, talking andughing, he immediately hardened his heart and made up his mind not to leave.
