Chapter 234: Iron Hand Assassins vs. Internal Guards

In the mountains and forests, members of the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 19th, 20th and 21st Halls of the Iron Hand Group advanced cautiously.

There are a total of 120 people from the six halls. This time they came here to see if they can find an opportunity to kill Li Cunxi.

It would be very interesting if they could get rid of Li Cunxi quietly while others were not paying attention. Not only would they take the money, but those who wanted to avenge Li Cunxi would not even have a chance to do so.

Chen Yiqu, Bao Chong, Shi Xiong, Xiang Jun, Hu Wei and Zhang Zhi walked in front, paying attention to the battlefield outside Enji Manor while discussing how to assassinate Li Cunxi most easily and without being discovered.

"Look, there are three riders all alone at the foot of the mountain. Not only are they unprotected, but they are also far away from the other soldiers."

Hu Wei looked towards a place outside the battlefield. There were indeed three people standing there on horseback. The two younger ones were dressed like scholars, and the other one was a woman but she was wearing silver armor. It was natural to describe her as heroic.

"Who is that?"

Chen Yiqiu saw Li Cunxi at a glance, but still chose to pretend not to know Li Cunxi.

Bao Chong turned back to Hu Wei and Zhang Zhi and asked, "Qi Hai is asking you a question, who is that?"

"Third senior brother, according to our investigation, the man wearing silver armor should be Xiao Qingfang, the chief of the Inner Guard Bureau and His Majesty's trusted and beloved general. The other two are Li Cunxi and the son of King Wei Wu Chengsi, named Wu Yanhao, who is an eighth-rank official of the current dynasty." Hu Wei explained.

"Xiao Qingfang, Li Cunxi, Wu Yanhao, if we choose to assassinate them, we must not let any of these three people go, and we must act quickly, kill them with one strike and then flee far away immediately to avoid being discovered."

"So what do you mean, Third Brother?" Chen Yiqiu raised his eyebrows.

"I don't think we should assassinate them now. From the information we have received, Li Cunxi is extremely intelligent and is known for his cunning strategies. How could a man like him not have any personal soldiers around him? I guess there must be someone in the surrounding mountains and forests watching the battlefield and the three of them."

"You mean, once we choose to assassinate them, the inner guards will come and surround us immediately?"

"They may not be the inner guards. They may be other troops, such as the Qianniu Guards and the soldiers from Yongchang County." Bao Chong carefully looked around the bushes. "According to our clues, the county magistrate Zeng Tai brought the yamen runners, constables and soldiers to join the battle to encircle and suppress the Xilin General Temple, but Zeng Tai and his men have not appeared so far."

"Third Senior Brother is so wise, let alone that. Let's run away quickly. The battle below is about to come to an end. If we are targeted by others, we will not be able to run far."

The order was immediately issued and a group of Iron Hand killers fled immediately.

As soon as the Iron Hand killers climbed over the mountain, Chen Yiqiu saw a figure in night clothes and nearly a hundred internal guards.

Shadow played with the dagger in his hand and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar! Since they are here, we, the inner guards, should treat them well, right?"

"kill!"

Following Shadow's order, a group of inner guards immediately drew their swords and rushed over to kill.

Chen Yiqu knew that Li Cunxi had no power in the inner guards, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Shadow. He waved his hand, drew the sword from his waist, and shouted:

"Kill them all and leave quickly!"

Bao Chong became furious and rushed into the inner guards yelling and holding a long-handled knife. He chopped off the head of an inner guard with his knife, and then used his powerful force to split the head in half from the top of the head to the neck, and then pulled it out with great effort.

Xiang Jun held a long sword in his hand and stabbed twice in succession, killing an inner guard, and then helped Hu Wei to cut the neck of another inner guard.

Zhang Zhi and Shi Xiong stood on the left and right, holding ring-handled swords in their hands, hacking and slashing like crazy. The inner guards rushing in front of them were unable to stop them.

Seeing his fellow brothers fighting so hard, Chen Yiqiu continued to move forward slowly. The soldiers of the Inner Guards and the Iron Hand Regiment were fighting desperately, and the gap between the two sides was very obvious. The Iron Hand Regiment, with five second-rate masters joining the battle, clearly had a greater advantage.

Although the Inner Guards were all quite powerful, they did not have any particularly strong masters in charge. Dong Ling Yingzi was also quite powerful, and was one of the best among the second-rate masters. Seeing that more than twenty of his Inner Guards were hacked to death in an instant, he knew that he could not continue to watch the show, so he rushed towards Bao Chong with a dagger in his hand.

Leopard holding a long-handled knife rushed into this relatively open area. To the ordinary guards, it was like a shock wave. Whoever it swept would die, and whoever it chopped would be torn apart.

"Excuse me, I'm here, there's no way you can fight my brother."

Chen Yiqiu smiled with his eyes narrowed, standing in front of Shadow. They were both top-notch second-rate masters. Shadow could clearly feel the confident glow from Chen Yiqiu, which made him almost lose all confidence.

"Judging from the way you fight, you must be a master of Qinggong."

Chen Yiqu slowly drew out the sword from his waist, holding it in one hand, and said:

"Let me test your ability as a master of Qinggong."

Shadow's gaze passed over Chen Yiqiu and looked at the inner guards who were killed by the five hall masters. He bit his lip and actually ran away.

I saw a shadow as fast as a galloping horse, with its toes touching the ground, and its body flying in the air at a right angle formed by two lines.

This strange ability made Chen Yiqiu dumbfounded. For a moment he couldn't tell whether the shadow was a human or a ghost.

However, Shadow's falling speed was also very fast. He came down after two breaths, but his landing place was in front of Leopard Chong. Leopard Chong's thunder-like attack was blocked by Shadow with a dagger. Then the two of them retreated five or six steps each and kept a safe distance.

"Who on earth are you to be so powerful?"

Shadow felt distressed when he looked at his few remaining subordinates.

"Don't worry about it. If you dare to stop us again, don't blame us for being rude. Take the bodies of our brothers away and we will leave immediately."

Chen Yiqu waved his hand, and the more than 30 people killed in the Iron Hand Regiment were carried away.

"Damn it!" Shadow gritted his teeth and was very angry. "What kind of force is it that has so many masters!"

"No, I must go back and tell my elder sister that this leader is so powerful, he is definitely not an unknown person in the martial arts world."

"Besides, I suffered such a big loss today, I must ask my brothers to help me get justice!"

Looking back at the Internal Guard brothers who had suffered heavy casualties, Shadow felt heartbroken again.

"Hurry, hurry, take him away. This matter is not over yet. I must report it to my elder sister!"
