Chapter 417: Assassinate

Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but laugh, while Mo Junyang’s expression softened, and he seemed to be satisfied.

Seeing that, Yan Xu was complacent and thought that Mo Junyang looked lofty at ordinary times and disdained everything, while in fact, with the gold and silver in front of him, everything could be discussed.

He showed that he wasn’t tempted because others didn’t give him enough.

Lord Yan thought that he had seen through Mo Junyang and felt proud, so he said in a flippant tone involuntarily.

“They are only a few gifts. Hope that you don’t dislike them, Your Excellency. If you think that it’s not enough, please tell me. You rarely came to Jiangzhou, and I will surely make you go back after enjoying yourself to the full.”

He said meaningfully and even winked at Mo Junyang vaguely when Shi Qingxue didn’t see.

Mo Junyang laughed again, yet it was cold in his eyes, which were terrifying.

Before Yan Xu realized the hidden meaning in Mo Junyang’s smile, he heard the young man’s cold voice. “Lord Yan, are you bribing me?”

Yan Xu was stunned and couldn’t speak after hearing Mo Junyang’s straightforward question.

Then Mo Junyang continued, “A Rank-5 magistrate’s yearly salary is only three hundred taels of silver, and you have been an official for just twenty years. Even if you don’t eat or drink, you have merely six thousand taels of silver. Lord Yan, where are these gold and silver in boxes from?”

Where could they be from?

They were the common people’s wealth he extorted and what the subordinates bribed him.

This was what all the officials knew, but Mo Junyang mentioned it directly, so Yan Xu goggled at him and couldn’t speak a word.

At the same time, Shi Qingxue was amused by Yan Xu’s funny expression and burst into laughter.

She had never seen such a stupid official. The other officials would be low-key and wished that the evidence of taking bribes and breaking the law would never come out when the superiors came to investigate. How would they carry them out like the brainless Yan Xu did, showing them to Mo Junyang and attempting to bribe him openly?

She was amused.

Shi Qingxue talked cheerfully, and Yan Xu finally understood that he was tricked, so he became angry from shame.

Yan Xu had put a good face earlier but soon changed. He glared at Mo Junyang ferociously and snorted in a cold voice. “Even if it is like what you said, so what? I give them to you out of kindness. If you accept them today, both of us and all people will be fine. Otherwise…”

Yan Xu’s eyes looked threatening at once.

Mo Junyang pretended that he didn’t see it. He asked slowly, “Otherwise, what do you want to do?”

Yan Xu responded, “Otherwise, I will show no mercy. Don’t blame me.”

As soon as he finished his words, the government soldiers who acted like wall flowers quietly took out the broadswords from their waists at the same time and aimed at Mo Junyang and Shi Qingxue.

It was almost the same as the scene when they just came to Jiangzhou City and they were surrounded in the small house.

Mo Junyang sighed in secret. “More than one month has passed, but this magistrate hasn’t made any progress. He thinks that he can cope with me with the same method?”

“Your Excellency, I advise you not to act rashly. These men are specially trained soldiers in the military camp in Jiangzhou, and they are not the trashes who would be scared to have soft legs.”

Yan Xu guessed what Mo Junyang was thinking about, and he warned in a low voice.

He seemed to vow solemnly, as if these soldiers could frighten Mo Junyang.

Shi Qingxue looked the soldiers making threatening gestures up and down again and really found something different.

These people were dressed in ordinary government workers’ uniform, yet their imposing manner was greatly different from that of the runners who led a gay life and did nothing but bully the good people.

Their eyes were clear and serious with a strong will, and they were real soldiers specially trained.

The soldiers trained in the military camp of the Shi Army probably wouldn’t be much better than these people.

It was a pity that such people worked for Yan Xu.

Shi Qingxue had this idea at first, but then she was surprised. Yan Xu was a civil official. How could he train these subordinates with such an imposing manner?

These people were from the military camp at a glance.

The military camp!

Shi Qingxue felt that she seemed to have found the key word. She suddenly turned to Mo Junyang, who was looking at her, too.

They got the positive answer from the other party’s eyes.

Mo Junyang kept silent for a while and then said unhurriedly, “Yan Xu, since you know my capabilities, you should know that so few people can’t trap me.”

Moreover, Mo Junyang had a group of guards who had excellent martial skills, too.

Yan Xu laughed loudly and said conceitedly, “Of course, I know that you are powerful in martial arts and can defeat one hundred opponents by yourself, but Lady Qingxue is uncertain.”

While speaking, he looked at Shi Qingxue with his greedy eyes, which were obscene and disgusting.

Shi Qingxue frowned with displeasure. Mo Junyang blocked Yan Xu’s eyes in advance and his expression went cold. He stared at Yan Xu, as if looking at a dead person.

Nobody knew whether Yan Xu didn’t feel scared as his nerve was numb after he drank alcohol or he was fearless after speaking it out. He wasn’t frightened but smiled at Mo Junyang with provocation.

He seemed to say, “Even if you look powerful, so what? You will be at the mercy of me as you have a weakness.”

Mo Junyang pulled Shi Qingxue and got up, hiding her behind him. Then he snorted. “The people who dare to threaten me won’t stay alive for long. Yan Xu, are you really going to have a try?”

Yan Xu smiled arrogantly. “I want to say that the person who dares to go against me in Jiangzhou hasn’t been born. Under the current situation, you must be unlucky.”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and those soldiers waved the broadswords, trying to attack Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang drew the soft sword from his waist and protected Shi Qingxue in his arm. He waved the soft sword with the other hand and quickly forced the people who attacked him first to retreat.

However, these soldiers couldn’t be handled easily. They attacked for the first time just to test. For the second time, they scattered and launched a converging attack from behind and in front, making Mo Junyang have enemies in front and rear.

They used embattling skills to kill somebody, so they must be more than powerful.

They attacked Mo Junyang’s weak spots desperately and guarded when facing his attack. They cooperated with each other well, trying to minimize their losses.

For a moment, the two parties fought fiercely, and it appeared that the victory could hardly be decided. Even some soldiers were injured by Mo Junyang’s sword spirit, yet the people with sharp eyes could see that these men started a tag match to waste time and consume his energy.

Even though Mo Junyang was superb in martial arts, when he protected Shi Qingxue and couldn’t escape, he could do nothing but die slowly after consuming too much energy.

Shi Qingxue was in Mo Junyang’s arm under his protection and wasn’t injured, yet she was in anxiety. She wanted to say something for several times, but she was afraid that she would distract him, so she didn’t dare to speak.

She was angry and blamed herself. Why did she follow him regardless of anything as she was just worried about him? If she were not here, Mo Junyang wouldn’t be in such an awkward predicament.

Even if he couldn’t kill all people in seconds, he must have many chances to retreat.

It was because of her.

Her!

Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but hate herself, while the man’s gentle and firm voice appeared above her head. “Don’t be afraid. I will take you out.”

She certainly trusted Mo Junyang, yet it couldn’t make her forgive herself as she stood in his way. Instead, she hated herself more.

When she was anxious out of wits and downhearted, woosh, the attack arranged in an orderly way was stopped.

Those soldiers were interrupted by the sharp arrows flying from behind. They couldn’t attack in the former embattling way but had to wave their broadswords in a difficult position to resist the flying arrows from nowhere.

“What happened? What happened?” Yan Xu’s complacent smile turned into disbelief and confusion, and he shouted at those soldiers, “Hurry up and capture him. You can’t run away!”

However, when their lives were in danger, who would follow his order to kill somebody?

Mo Junyang seized the opportunity to take Shi Qingxue out of the ring of encirclement and fell in front of Yan Xu.

The bright soft sword was put horizontally in front of Yan Xu, and he could kill this evil official next second.

Yan Xu who was fierce-looking and tried to kill Mo Junyang instantly looked like a wild duck whose neck was pinched, and he couldn’t make noises to annoy others.

Mo Junyang was satisfied as he saw Yan Xu who was scared with legs trembling. Then he glanced at the people who were still fighting, asking indifferently, “What? Lord Yan, don’t you plan to tell them to surrender?”

Mo Junyang had pity for human lives and didn’t try to kill them. Otherwise, even if these soldiers were capable, they couldn’t resist the attack from Mo Junyang’s people. They would be defeated in less than fifteen minutes.

Nobody present doubted such a result, and Yan Xu didn’t dare to say no. He trembled and yelled at the soldiers who risked their lives to resist, “Stop fighting. Surrender now!”

The soldiers almost became the meat of others. After they heard Yan Xu’s order, they paused for a moment without prior consultation.

They glanced at one another and seemed to see the struggle and humiliation in others’ eyes but threw away the weapons in their hands in the end because of Yan Xu’s order.

Shi Qingxue had stayed in the military camp since childhood and naturally understood that it was a humiliation for a soldier to surrender. The Shi Army’s instruction was that they would rather die on the battlefield than surrender.

Perhaps all soldiers with moral integrity were unwilling to accept the word “surrender”, even though they were not on the battlefield.

To be fair, if a soldier didn’t die on the battlefield but was killed in the internal conflict with conspiracies, wouldn’t he be more humiliated?

At this thought, Shi Qingxue didn’t think that it was a big deal that these people surrendered. She just pulled Mo Junyang’s arm, and the latter instantly understood what she meant. He patted her hand gently and said in a voice that only the two could hear, “Don’t worry. I know who the chief criminal is. I won’t do anything to them.”

Shi Qingxue was stunned. She wanted to tell Mo Junyang not to insult the brave soldiers, yet she hoped that he could deal with them quickly. She didn’t want him to let them go.

Mo Junyang wasn’t the kind of people who would return good for evil. If others hurt him but he didn’t make them pay much more for it, they would be grateful to him. How would he let them go without doing anything?

In the final analysis, he did that because of Shi Qingxue’s mercy?

Shi Qingxue felt sadder, yet it was not the time for her to talk about this with him. She had to restrain her anxiety and deal with Yan Xu first.

Yan Xu had done many evil things and even wanted to take their lives, so they couldn’t spare him.
