Chapter 389: Attack Fiercely

The knocks on the door were like breeze and drizzle, while the pound on the door this time was like storm.

It seemed that the door was being punched.

Shi Qingxue was astonished and didn’t want to comfort Wei Ziye anymore. She turned to Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang’s face darkened, and he ordered Wei Ziye, “Get up. Go and open the door.”

Wei Ziye was stunned for a while and then finally stopped being stubborn.

He pursed his lips and got up from the ground silently. Then he strode to open the door.

Shi Qingxue looked at him and complained like joking, “I comforted him softly, but it didn’t work, while after you ordered him coldly, he listened to you unexpectedly. It’s too much.”

Mo Junyang was rarely in high spirits and wanted to chat with her. Even though the door was pounded heavily from outside, he still whispered, “He is more flexible than Zichao apparently and does things at will, yet he is stubborn, and if he believes something, the others can’t stop him easily.”

If it was not under this situation or Mo Junyang didn’t order him, Wei Ziye might still be kneeling and refuse to move.

Wei Ziye thought that they were exposed because he was thoughtless, so he punished himself in such an obstinate way.

Shi Qingxue uplifted her brows in surprise and didn’t know if she should be surprised at Wei Ziye’s stubbornness or Mo Junyang’s interest in telling her something like this.

However, after she was surprised for a little while, the courtyard door was opened, and a group of people dressed in government workers’ clothes rushed in, surrounding them.

The one in the front was a burly man. He was tall and big, looking ferocious. As soon as they came in, he ordered in a husky voice without greeting them, “Capture them.”

Mo Junyang stood in front of Shi Qingxue, and Wei Ziye unsheathed the long sword, standing before the two, shouting in a cold voice, “I am going to see who dares to move.”

The government worker in front must be the leader. He had a broadsword on his waist. Obviously his broadsword was much inferior to the famous sword in Wei Ziye’s hand.

He glanced at Wei Ziye with fear but was unwilling to admit defeat. Then he raised his chin and tried to show his momentum. “Don’t disturb us when we are working for the government.”

Shi Qingxue grabbed Mo Junyang’s arm and poked him slightly to show that she was fine. Then she popped her upper part from behind him and looked at that leader. “Sir, what makes you come to work in our house?”

The leader showed a stiff expression and spoke with justice. “Somebody reported that a prisoner wanted by the imperial court is kept secretly here, so we came to capture her. If you are sensible, just give her to us. Otherwise, don’t blame me when my sword is blind.”

Hearing that, Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but snort, asking in reply at leisure, “A prisoner wanted by the imperial court? The highest-ranking official in Jiangzhou City is the magistrate, merely Rank-5, yet he can give an order for arrest on behalf of the imperial court? You are talking big.”

The leader was embarrassed by her ridicule, and his expression stiffened. He couldn’t speak a word.

Although before he came, he had heard that the identity of the people in this house might be unusual, either wealthy or noble, he didn’t take it seriously.

He had thought that no matter how noble they were, they were merely common people and would be cowardly under the pressure of the government, while it was just a young lady but with such great insight.

Under his threat, she could find fault with his words in good order, so he didn’t dare to slight her.

Nevertheless, as the leader of the workers of the prefecture chief, he would never show the white feather in front of a girl.

“You are a girl. What do you know about the affairs in the government? If you are sensible, give the prisoner to us, and I may let you go. Otherwise, I will put all of you in prison!” the leader said arrogantly and waved the broadsword in front of Shi Qingxue to threaten her.

It seemed that he dared to do something to Shi Qingxue.

It was Shi Qingxue’s first time to be threatened in this way, and she wasn’t afraid but thought that it was fresh. She looked at the leader curiously and asked, “It’s stipulated in the laws of Mo Country that when the workers from the government capture somebody, they must show the notice that the government wants him, with the prisoner’s name and related items recorded in it, and the county magistrate or higher-ranking officials should sign it personally. You came with bare hand now. Do you know that I can issue you in the government and make you lose your official position?”

This leader had been working for so many years, but perhaps it was his first time to hear that somebody accused him of not following the laws and wanted to issue him.

Moreover, this damned girl was quite familiar with the laws in Mo Country and said clearly and logically in good order.

The leader certainly knew that what Shi Qingxue had said was right, while in fact, who would do their jobs according to the inflexible laws?

If they followed the standard procedure, they wouldn’t finish it until one or two days later. What was more, the county magistrate and the other officials had so many jobs to do every day. It would be nice if they showed up in the government at ordinary times, so how would they stay in the government and wait for the subordinates to ask them to sign?

If the county magistrate went out to travel for ten days or half a month but a prisoner ran away, would they solve the case? Who would take the responsibility?

The leader had been working for so many years and had never followed the standard procedure, yet he gained the position as the leader. However, Shi Qingxue said to his face that his behavior was against the law of Mo Country.

He was rendered speechless and couldn’t help but become angry from shame, glaring at Shi Qingxue fiercely. “We are working for the government. Why do you, a civilian qualify to comment on us? Somebody, come to capture these ruffians.”

The workers from the government rushed up in a crowd at once.

Shi Qingxue stood still as Wei Ziye and Mo Junyang were here. As soon as the workers raised their broadswords, they were kicked away by Wei Ziye.

Wei Ziye was unusually brave, as if to correct his fault. He didn’t give Mo Junyang a chance to show his power but beat down the workers trying to attack Mo Junyang.

Looking at the workers rolling all over the ground, Shi Qingxue felt that it was laughable.

Seeing that the leader was scared by Wei Ziye’s braveness and his legs and hands were trembling, Shi Qingxue smiled fascinatingly and pretended to be surprised, asking, “Ah! All your people were beaten down. What should you do?”

The leader lost the valiant momentum and had to struggle with anger, shouting, “You are so bold. You dare to go against the government, and you will come to no good end. Wait and see.”

After speaking, he seemed to be chased by a dog and ignored his people, running out in panic.

The rest workers saw that their leader ran away, so they supported each other and fled.

Shi Qingxue was amazed to see that and then laughed happily. “Yo! These are soldiers in Jiangzhou City. I will laugh my head off. They ran away so quickly.”

If the Shi Army were here, they might be killed even if they had nine heads.

Mo Junyang scratched her hairy head and stated unhurriedly after she stopped laughing, “It’s not safe here now. Let’s pack up and go away right now.”

Wei Ziye paused for a moment and instantly realized that his master said that to him, so he answered in a deep voice hurriedly, “Yes.”

Shi Qingxue also understood that this matter probably wouldn’t be over, yet they came to Jiangzhou to investigate the case. Where could they go?

Would they return without accomplishing anything?

Mo Junyang noticed her doubt and comforted her in a soft voice. “Don’t worry. We won’t leave Jiangzhou City. We will go somewhere else and hide for now.”

They would avoid the sensitive issue and then wait for an opportune moment to act.

It was a good countermeasure.

Shi Qingxue nodded knowingly.

Perhaps because Mo Junyang was around her, she didn’t worry or fear but joked with him in high spirits.

“Gee, I thought that with your character, you would confront it when something like this happened, and you wouldn’t choose to hide with a grievance.”

Mo Junyang raised his dashing eyebrows slightly and then responded, “Gee, I thought that with my wisdom, I wouldn’t be so stupid as to confront it to make others plot against me when something like this happened.”

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

She was retorted with the same words, and she immediately realized that her “doubt” made somebody unhappy.

She hurriedly showed a flattering smile and expressed in a sweet voice, “Yes, yes. Sir, you are smartest and most capable. You have the situation well in hand and can win others one thousand miles away. You have never been defeated…”

Qingxue tired her best to rack her brains and said all the words of praise she could think of, but when she was speaking with interest, she saw that Mo Junyang turned pale suddenly.

Then she felt that her waist was tight, and she was held to dodge to the left side.

Then with a whoosh, a sharp arrow rushed to the place where they had stood and inserted into the ground.

Shi Qingxue’s heart beat fast, and she couldn’t feel whether she was more scared or excited.

She had only one thought in her brain, “They have finally come.”

However, before she had a chance to feel it clearly, dense sharp arrows were shot to them like rain.

Mo Junyang quickly drew the soft sword which he seldom used from his waist and waved it nimbly. He beat all the arrows attempting to attack them to fall on the ground and protected Shi Qingxue as the second defense, looking for a hideout.

They soon retreated to a big tree in the courtyard. Mo Junyang made Shi Qingxue lean against the trunk and then stood in front of her, continuing to wave the sword and block the sharp arrows flying to them.

Although most of the arrows weren’t shot to them, under the dense attacks, no matter how capable Mo Junyang was, he couldn’t sustain himself after a long time.

Shi Qingxue was anxious but could only pinch her palm hard, stopping herself from speaking to distract Mo Junyang.

When she was at a loss, Wei Ziye rushed out of the room and resisted most attacks for Mo Junyang. The three retreated to the room temporarily.

The room door was closed, while the sharp arrows from outside were shot to the door and then fell on the floor, with cracks.

“Master, what should we do now?” Wei Ziye asked anxiously.

Although he thought that he was excellent in martial arts, when there were many enemies and the other party had potent firepower with long-distance attacks, he didn’t dare to brag.

The people outside were cruel and evil and would achieve their goals by hook or by crook.

If they wanted to protect themselves, perhaps they could do nothing but give Ye Zhixin to the enemies.

Anyway, Ye Zhixin was just a minor official supervisor’s daughter, good for nothing. They didn’t need to put themselves in danger for such a girl.
