The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 116 Assassination

Jiang Xing and Xie Ci left Jiangnan and headed north, their faces solemn and their hearts heavy. There had been no news about Chujiu and Shisan, which had enveloped the entire team in a gloomy atmosphere.

When the team arrived at Huizhou Grand Canyon, they were suddenly attacked by a group of mysterious men in black. Since the people sent out before had not returned yet, the team was already small in number and was completely unable to resist the sudden attack. Although Jiang Xing had practiced martial arts since he was a child, he was still unable to cope with so many powerful enemies. Xie Ci tried his best to protect Jiang Xing and fought fiercely with the men in black.

"Cousin, let's go!" Xie Ci shouted anxiously.

"Young Master, you go first!" Yuanchu also shouted anxiously.

At the same time, several men in black were entangled by Xie Ci and Yuan Chu, giving Jiang Xing a chance to escape. However, Jiang Xing was seriously injured, but he was unwilling to leave them alone. He held the sword tightly and waved it hard, trying to buy more time for Xie Ci and Yuan Chu.

In this thrilling battle, everyone tried their best in the hope of protecting each other's lives.

The leader of the men in black listened to what Xie Ci and the others said, and guessed that the thing was most likely on the man in white. He stared at Jiang Xing with a gloomy look, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. At this time, Jiang Xing was already covered in blood, and his snow-white clothes were also stained red with blood, which was shocking. Xie Ci's black robe was also soaked, and the blood stains on it exuded a pungent smell.

As time went by, Xie Ci and Yuan Chu's physical strength gradually ran out, and their movements became slow. Seeing his followers fall to the ground one after another, Xie Ci was extremely anxious, but he knew that he could not give up at this moment. He exchanged glances with Yuan Chu, nodded in tacit understanding, and then suddenly exerted force to lead the man in black to another direction, trying to buy more time for Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing moved his feet with difficulty under the protection of everyone. He glanced at Xie Ci and Yuan Chu, his heart full of worry. However, when he saw Xie Ci and Yuan Chu gradually disappear from his sight, an indescribable pain surged in his heart.

At the same time, the surviving followers stood in front of Jiang Xing without hesitation. They told Jiang Xing with firm eyes: "Go!" These loyal followers were willing to use their lives to protect Jiang Xing and create a glimmer of hope for him.

Jiang Xing pursed his lips, looked solemn, pulled a horse over, and nimbly climbed onto it. He glanced at the followers who were struggling to resist, his heart full of contradictions and pain. However, he gritted his teeth, kicked the horse's belly hard, and then swung the reins violently, driving the horse to gallop northward.

Jiang Xing felt extremely heavy in his heart, and his eyesight was blurred by tears, but he still resisted the grief and galloped away on his horse. He knew that if he stayed here, all their previous efforts would be in vain. Therefore, despite the extreme pain in his heart, he could only abandon these people and flee the scene alone. He knew that the fate of these people might be grim, but he was powerless.

Although the evidence in his hands was not enough to bring all the corrupt officials to justice, he did not want to give up easily. After all, there were Thirteen and Chujiu, who might have more crucial evidence or information. He firmly believed that as long as he could find them, he could make the truth known to the world.

The leader of the men in black looked at the man and the horse going away, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes. He held the reins tightly, slapped the horse's back hard, and galloped away, trying to catch up with Jiang Xing. He raised his right hand slightly, and a hidden weapon that had been prepared long ago quietly slipped into his hand. This hidden weapon flashed a faint blue light and exuded a palpitating breath.

As the man in black waved his arm, the hidden weapon flew out at a very fast speed, flying straight towards Jiang Xing's back. At this time, Jiang Xing was exhausted and his reaction ability was slightly slow.

The hidden weapon quickly shot into Jiang Xing's right shoulder, and he felt a sharp pain, and his body involuntarily leaned to the right. However, to the right was a bottomless canyon, and Jiang Xing fell into the abyss without any preparation.

"Master"

The leader of the men in black had intended to take the items from Jiang Xing, but he didn't expect Jiang Xing to fall into the canyon. His face became gloomy and his heart was filled with regret.

Seeing this, the leader of the men in black did not stop. He blew a sharp whistle and summoned his men to leave quickly. In a blink of an eye, only a group of injured followers were left. Not long after, Xie Ci and Yuan Chu finally rushed back, and they were also seriously injured.

Looking at the bloodstains and wounded people on the ground, they couldn't help but feel angry and helpless. They looked around and found that Jiang Xing was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's my cousin?" Xie Ci asked, covering his chest with his hands, his face pale.

"Cousin, my master fell off a cliff!" said the Jiang family's servant with a painful look on his face.

"How is that possible? You're talking nonsense!" Xie Ci grabbed the man's collar and asked excitedly.

"Master, this is absolutely true. My cousin was seriously injured and was ambushed by the man in black, so he slipped and fell." The servant of the Xie family knelt in front of Xie Ci and said.

Upon hearing the news, Xie Ci was stunned and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"My dear cousin, the most important thing right now is to go to the bottom of the cliff to find my young master immediately, but the people on our side are too badly injured to move..." Yuanchu said anxiously.

Yuan Chu was extremely anxious when he knew that his young master had fallen off the cliff, but there was no time for him to wait here. He had to go down and find someone as soon as possible.

After all, Xie Ci had been to the battlefield and had a strong psychological quality, so he quickly calmed down. He knew that now was not the time to panic and that he had to take action as soon as possible. So, he went to the local government without hesitation to seek help.

In fact, his cousin had given him the governor's token and all the relevant evidence a long time ago. This made Xie Ci feel a little confused, as if his cousin had already anticipated what would happen today. At that time, he had even joked with his cousin that if he took these things to the capital to see the emperor, the emperor would definitely give him generous rewards, and he might even be promoted to a higher position. His cousin just smiled and nodded, without saying much. Now thinking back, his cousin seemed to have a foresight into everything.
