The mountain path was shaded by trees. The carriage was traveling on a bumpy road. They took the road that were not known to most people. No travellers were in vicinity except for them. The sound of rolling wheels was accompanied by the rustling wind and the swaying leaves.

The carriage suddenly stopped halfway. The coachman in the carriage suddenly screamed. He yanked the rope to a halt. He stared at the murderous man in black in front, and could not speak clearly, "Master...Master, ahead.."

The man didn't wait for the driver to finish his speech. A cold light flashed, and the sharp blade had cut his throat.

With a sneer, the men in black immediately came to the carriage with swords.

Zhao Nanyu didn't panic, and flew over the sword tip that was coming to him. He noticed he had a long sword in his hands and had no idea where this came from.

He laughed at the men in black, seeming not worried that he could get away from this predicament.

Zhao Nanyu was surrounded, their knives pointed straight at him. These people had made poison vows to take his life.

They are trained dead men, and they were either going to die or not.

The sword was stretched and the crossbow was drawn.

Zhao Nanyu had long known that the road to Quzhou would not go smoothly. No one in Dali Temple wanted to take over the mess of the murdered governer Quzhou. The old emperor seemed to deliberately gave this case to him.

Quzhou could be a regarded as a cold place with high mountains and long rivers. It was normal for officials to protect each other. The magistrate that replaced the previous was cunning. Within three months, he had cleared a group of local merchants and small officials around him.

It's not impossible to deal with the embezzlement of offcials and businessmen.

Zhao Nanyu, who went to investigate the case, naturally would not be welcoming. If he found something, Quzhou's officials would have to be replaced again. So the people behind the scenes certainly didn't want him to arrive in Quzhou alive.

After the intense swords clashing, Zhao Nanyu's white clothes were splashed with bright red blood. He was like an asura in hell. He looked at the lying corpses who came to kill him. His body was also stabbed with many wounds, so he was only able to stand with the support of his sword. He was fortunately not hurt badly.

Zhao Nanyu's knees fell straight on the stone road with a sound of a 'bang'. His brow wrinkled with pain. He gasped for breath and endured the sharp pain from the wound. He didn't emit any sound.

Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from the grass. Zhao Nanyu squeezed the sword handle in his hand, thinking it was the fish that had leaked from the net. He was ready to raise the sword and kill him.

A young girl with a round face wearing pink clothes suddenly rushed out with a medicine basket in her hand. The girl's appearance was not excellent compared with other beautiful women. She knelt down in front of Zhao Nanyu, frowned, and looked at the wound on him. "Are you okay? "

Zhao Nanyu still held the sword handle tightly, and there was cold light in his eyes, "It's okay."

The girl stared at the man in front of her. She had never seen such a beautiful man since she was born.

Although there was blood on his face at the moment, it did not hinder his excellent appearance.

The girl swallowed her saliva, bit her lower lip and said, "You are injured. I have medicine here. I can help you. "
