The other three men in black were extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. Their expressions changed, and they quickly retreated.
Chi chi chi…
However, before they could retreat far, several black lights pierced out from the night sky, targeting the backs of the three people.
He turned around and drew his sword.
The movements of the three warriors were exactly the same. Their black swords clanged against each other, emitting sparks.
In one exchange, one of the four intruders was killed.
The sword light that had struck in the darkness just now suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings returned to silence.
The three warriors in black stood back to back, their eyes filled with solemnity.
In the previous exchange, the three of them had each attacked with a sword. They knew how strong the warrior who had attacked them in the dark was.
At the very least, they were on par with them.
The four of them were all gold-medal assassins in the Black Prison. Each of them had reached the late-stage of the Connate Marrow Cleansing realm.
The four of them had attacked at the same time, and they had even successfully assassinated a mighty figure of the Divine Treasure Realm.
The reason for this was that other than their assassination experience, the four of them also knew a type of joint sword technique. If they encountered an enemy head-on, they would be able to retreat even if they encountered someone at the first tier of the Divine Treasure Realm.
This time, the client's target was a prince.
In addition, according to their intelligence, there was a general of the Divine Treasure Realm by the king's side, so they had sent the four of them.
What Black Prison wanted was to hit the target with one strike.
He did not send another expert to continue the mission.
However, before they could even see the target of the mission, the four of them had already lost one person. They had not even seen the person who had attacked them.
This gave the three of them a bad feeling.
Chi!
Suddenly, there was a small noise.
It was the sound of a sharp sword piercing through the air.
Behind him?
The expressions of the three people changed drastically. They were all in disbelief.
They were defending with their backs to each other. The space behind them was not big, but the enemy actually appeared behind them....
Although they were shocked, their reactions were not slow.
However, even though they were fast, there were still people who were faster.
When the three assassins in black quickly turned around and prepared to stab back with their swords, they stopped.
The three killers, who felt their strength rapidly disappearing, looked down in horror.
A sharp sword was still piercing through their chests on the left side of their hearts.
It was only because the opponent's sword was too fast that they did not feel the pain of the sharp sword entering their bodies.
Swish! The sharp sword was pulled out, and three black shadows appeared behind the three assassins. The three assassins from Black Prison followed in the footsteps of their first companion and fell to the ground.
Soon after, the door of the pavilion opened, and Zhang Han walked out in a black warrior robe.
Shua, a dozen black shadows slowly appeared outside. Without saying a word, they turned their swords around and bowed with cupped fists.
"Clean up this place and get rid of the smell on the jade.”
After giving the order, Zhang Han disappeared. As for other matters, the Shadow Secret Guards under him would naturally handle them. As for the spirit bug, Zhang Han had taken it away with the black jar from one of the assassins.
This kind of spiritual insect was not cheap, let alone a trained one. If it was sold, it would cost at least 1,000 silver.
As for the specifics, it would depend on the grade of the spiritual insect.
In the main courtyard, in the main hall, Li Lin had not rested yet. He was sitting in his seat and reading a white jade bamboo scroll. Beside him, the four sword attendants stood with their swords tied to their waists.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei hid in the shadows beside them. Their auras were restrained and they did not move.
Although they had set up a trap next door, they could not rule out the possibility that the other party was smarter and went straight to the main hall.
Therefore, they had made preparations.
"Young Master."
Zhang Han's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Come in."
Pushing open the door, Zhang Han walked in quickly and cupped his hands in greeting.""Young Master, the four assassins who entered the residence have all been killed. The smell on the jade had also been dealt with.”
"They were carrying spirit insects that could distinguish smells and were also captured by me.”
"Which force are you from?" Li Lin asked.
"From the looks of it, it should be someone from Black Prison.”Zhang Han replied.
"That's true." "Zhangsun Wuji isn't that stupid to let his own family assassinate him." No matter what, I'm still a prince. It's not in line with the Zhangsun Clan's interests to act directly.”
"Alright, take care of the corpse. Hand the jade ware to the steward tomorrow. Let him bring some people to find a place to sell it and exchange it for heavenly treasures.”
"Yes, this subordinate will do as you say."
"Yes, I'm tired after waiting for so long. You guys can go and rest.”
"Here, Young Master!"
Dian Wei and Xu Zhu walked out from the shadows. They bowed and left with Zhang Han.
As for Li Lin, under the service of the Four Sword Servants, he returned to the rear hall to rest and sleep.
The next day, the calm King Jing Manor made the two managers of the Zhangsun Clan who were waiting in the inn extremely anxious.
Last night, they had stayed up all night without sleeping.
However, there was not even a ripple in King Jing's Mansion. It was also calm this morning.
Could it be that the people from Black Dungeon had yet to make a move?
The two stewards thought of this possibility.
"Lord Deacon!" A subordinate shouted from outside the door.
"Come in." A subordinate of the Zhangsun Clan came in and bowed.""Reporting to the two deacons, the steward of King Jing's Mansion has brought 20 soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Camp to the Eastern City and entered the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”
"Thousand Treasures Pavilion?" The two of them looked at each other and frowned.
"This subordinate has already sent people to keep an eye on it. If there are any results, I will report back at any time.”
"You've done well. You can go down first. If there's any news, let us know immediately.”
"Here!"
After the subordinate left, the deacon of the Duke of Pi looked at the deacon of the Duke of Qi and said,""Could it be that the assassin attacked and succeeded, but he was seriously injured? King Jing's residence kept it a secret and went to the Thousand Treasures Pavilion to buy life-saving spiritual herbs?”
"It's possible, but everything depends on the outcome…"
"Sir Deacon, there's news.”
"Come in quickly!"
The subordinate who had returned came in and said anxiously,"Milords, after entering the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the steward of the Imperial Residence sold three jade ornaments.”
"It's the three that I gave to King Jing.”
"Now, they have exchanged three jade ornaments for many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. They have left the Thousand Treasures Pavilion and returned to King Jing's Mansion.”
"What?!" The expressions of the two deacons changed drastically. They stood up abruptly and cried out in surprise.
"Are you telling the truth?" The steward of the Qi Public House shouted sternly.
"I dare not lie. Many people in the Thousand Treasures Pavilion have seen this. The manager of the Imperial Residence displayed it in the trading area of the hall. The spiritual jade emitted a treasure light and alarmed the manager of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Then…"
"Got it. You may leave."
Without waiting for the person below to finish speaking, the steward of the Duke of Qi's Public House waved his hand and dismissed him.
