"It's really unreasonable."

"It stands to reason that if the Guiyu Sect used such a powerful force to ambush a specially recruited disciple, it would leave many traces afterwards. The sect will track it down and start a hunt." A bald-headed guard said in a low voice: "Don't say assassination now.

fail."

"Even if the assassination is successful, is it still worthwhile?" the bald guard shook his head.

No matter how powerful a force is, even the largest 'Da Jin Empire' in the world, its power has its limits and cannot be squandered infinitely!

What's more, mobilizing a large amount of force in the territory of hostile forces?

If you are not careful, you will lose everything!

How difficult is it to cultivate these powers again?

It should be noted that Hengyun Sect specially recruits disciples, and even if they grow up, most of them will only be at the level of 'second-rate masters'.

The price Guiyu Sect paid and the gains were completely unequal!

If every specially recruited disciple was assassinated like this at all costs, how many masters and resources would the Yuhua Sect have to consume?

"It's very strange."

"In the past, like the Great Jin Dynasty, the Yuhua Sect mostly used less costly methods such as poisoning and close-quarters assassination to assassinate specially recruited disciples."

"Direct attack? Very rare!" Most of these guards were centurions, well-informed and spoke one after another.

Anyone who is not a fool will notice something is wrong.

"If it were an ordinary special recruitment of disciples, Gui Yu Sect's actions would indeed seem unreasonable." Gu Ji said coldly: "Unless they know the importance of the young master in advance."

The group of guards immediately fell silent.

yes!

Being able to be personally protected by top-notch experts, Wu Yuan's importance is definitely far greater than that of an ordinary specially recruited disciple.

Guiyu Sect paid a huge price. If the assassination was successful, would it be worthwhile?

"Captain Wu." Gu Ji's eyes fell on Wu Xiong and said coldly: "You immediately arrange for someone to report this matter back to Licheng, inform the county guard, guard the general, and ask the city guards and Nanmeng Army to dispatch immediately."

"At the same time, we hope that the Supervision Department will immediately mobilize and carry out a comprehensive search. We should arrest and kill!"

"Since Guiyu Sect dares to take action, let them understand that Licheng is the Licheng of our Hengyun Sect." Gu Ji said coldly.

In Licheng, Hengyun Sect is the best.

The City Guards and the Nanmeng Army are fully mobilized. If they are surrounded by a large army, the first-rate masters will most likely be inflicted with hatred!

"Yes." Wu Xiong responded.

soon.

He selected two guards, a centurion and an ordinary sergeant, and prepared to go back to Licheng to wipe out the other Yuhua Sect teams.

The two guards were about to get on their horses.

"Wait a moment." Wu Yuan suddenly shouted, took out a stack of banknotes from the pile on the ground, and handed it to the two people.

"Young Master." Wu Xiong couldn't help but said: "We were attacked just now. It was our dereliction of duty that put the Young Master in danger."

The other guards also spoke up, saying they didn't deserve the banknotes.

"You deserve this!"

Wu Yuan solemnly said: "Half of the silver notes collected here will be given to Uncle Ji, and the other half will be distributed by your escort team."

"Sir, just take these banknotes." Gu Ji on the side also said: "We are carrying out the sect's mission. When the mission is completed, we will naturally have some contribution points."

"Uncle Ji, you said you would not interfere with my affairs." Wu Yuan said with a smile.

The ancient times are silent.

Immediately, Wu Yuan personally distributed all the large piles of banknotes on the ground and handed them to Gu Ji and the dozen or so guards.

"This last share is the largest. When we return, please give it directly to the family of the soldier who died in the battle." Wu Yuan sighed softly and handed the stack of silver notes to the centurion who was about to return.

Suddenly, the eyes of more than a dozen guards looking at Wu Yuan changed.

"Wang Heng, please thank the young master on his behalf." The centurion named 'Wang Heng' bowed slightly and saluted solemnly.

"Thank you, sir." More than ten guards said in unison.

No one is stupid!

How could these guards not see that Wu Yuan's actions were to make friends with them? But they were still moved by it.

After all, Wu Yuan made friends with real money, not just words.

These soldiers, especially the centurions, have seen too many officials and generals who "talk about brothers but have greedy hands"!

They don't value words, only benefits.

soon.

Wu Xiong left another centurion and an ordinary sergeant behind in this dense forest, waiting for people from the city to come to clean up the battlefield.

Those thirteen armor-piercing crossbows alone are worth thousands of gold, so naturally they cannot be destroyed directly.

"Let's go!" Wu Xiong ordered.

Immediately, eleven guards including Wu Yuan, Gu Ji and Wu Xiong quickly mounted their horses and embarked on the road to Qinglongtan with blood all over their bodies.

…

The group of people spared no effort and traveled along the official road at a very fast speed.

"Sir, are you still thinking about what happened just now?" Gu Ji was good at riding horses and followed Wu Yuan.

"Yes." Wu Yuan said.

"There are very few people who know the true talent of the young master. As long as we investigate one by one, we will be able to find out who leaked the information sooner or later." Gu Ji said: "Young Master does not need to worry too much about this matter. The sect has its own way."

"Yeah." Wu Yuan nodded slightly, but he was constantly analyzing in his mind.

Who will leak the news?

Wu Yuan didn't know much about the senior officials of the sect, so he didn't think about it for the time being. He only learned from the few people he knew.

Gao Yu? Huan Xinyan? The probability is extremely small!

The rest are the county governor Jiang Dongque, the dean Zhang Da, and more than a dozen teachers from the martial arts school who were also likely to leak.

but.

In Wu Yuan's heart, the biggest suspect is still the guard general 'Xu Shouyi', who has enough motives!

not to mention.

"The failure of the last assassination is enough to infer that I have a strong protector around me." Wu Yuan secretly said: "If you think about it backwards, I am afraid that I am extremely talented. Otherwise, why would the sect send experts to protect me?"

The idea is very reasonable.

As for whether Xu Shouyi leaked the secret?

For Wu Yuan, it is actually not important.

Because he had long made up his mind to find the right opportunity to kill Xu Shouyi!

...only half an hour.

Wu Yuan and the others arrived at Qinglongtan, handed over to the "City Guards" guarding the place, quickly washed away the bloodstains on their bodies, and put on clean clothes.

Immediately, the group of people boarded the big boat that had been prepared, set sail, and entered the Nanlong River!

at the same time.

The two guards who were responsible for sending the message back finally arrived in Licheng and immediately reported the news to the county governor's mansion and the guarding general's mansion.

"What?"

"Wu Yuan was assassinated by Gui Yu Zong?"

"An armor-piercing crossbow was also used?"

"Not only their team, there are also three ambush teams on the other three routes." Jiang Dongque and Xu Shouyi were both shocked.

And it was only less than a quarter of an hour.

Another piece of news came that the team that was originally the 'suspicious soldiers' was suddenly attacked in a deserted section of the Nanlong River.

The entire army was destroyed!

The two pieces of news spread, and the entire Licheng high-level officials were shocked.

"Check! We will turn the entire Li City upside down, and we will also pull out all the hidden enemies of Guiyu Sect and kill them all." Jiang Dongque ordered angrily.

If such a big incident cannot be handled properly, he, the county governor, will bear the blame.

The only thing that made him happy was that Wu Yuan was still fine!

but.

When Jiang Dongque and the county lieutenant personally led a city guard to "Wanlingou", they saw the bloody and tragic battlefield. They were shocked and stunned by it.
