Chapter 503

"I hope you can hold on."

While saying this, the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect stared fixedly at the County Magistrate of Heishui County, as if threatening him.

Seeing this, the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect could only sigh, finding it difficult to say anything more.

In the end, the Blood Blade Sect prepared to lead their people out to strike.

In his view, executing this mission was not a difficult task.

After having this thought, he hurried to mobilize his subordinates.

Although the Blood Blade Sect had been struck by Ying Mo, they still had quite a few core members under their command.

They still possessed decent assassination techniques, which was the source of the Blood Blade Sect Master's confidence, and they immediately gathered their men.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Governor was also leading a horse team toward Heishui County.

On the road, the Private Secretary beside the Governor said, "Governor, I would like to tell you something."

"I feel that this trip to Heishui County is likely not such a simple matter. Lord Ying Mo could not have appeared in that place rashly."

"I think it is very likely because Lord Ying Mo discovered some problem over there."

"So I think we must proceed with caution."

After hearing these words, the Governor immediately had the carriage team stop, and then asked the Private Secretary.

"What do you mean by that?"

The Governor was usually a person who cherished his life, so he was naturally particularly interested in such ambiguous remarks.

After hearing this, the Private Secretary beside the Governor said, "Our current situation is not too good, because we had previously speculated that the establishment of Heishui County might be in collusion with thieves."

"In this way, they might set a trap for us along the way."

"I have heard that they have had contact with people from the Blood Blade Sect."

Upon hearing this, the Governor immediately widened his eyes and shook his head.

"How come I have never heard of this aspect? Are you lying to me?"

After hearing this, the Private Secretary beside him shook his head and said, "How would I dare to lie to you? This matter is absolutely true, there is no possibility of a lie."

"This matter is very serious. In the current situation, the Blood Blade Sect is the most likely to cause trouble."

"Moreover, I have heard that the Blood Blade Sect is ruthless in their actions and has countless killers under their command. They are very likely to take action against us."

"And this time we are heading to Heishui County, most likely to take action against the County Magistrate of Heishui County."

"Since they are in cahoots, I think they are very likely to take action against us this time. We should still be a bit more careful, don't you think?"

The Governor, who usually cherished his life, felt there was some truth to it after hearing the other party's words.

He then had the horse team stop and called the Captain of the Guards over.

"Go and dispatch more guards for me, send me two hundred guards."

Upon hearing this, the Captain of the Guards was a bit surprised, but he didn't say much and hurried back to mobilize men.

Halfway through, the Governor suddenly said, "Two hundred guards might be too few, send me five hundred guards. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

At this moment, the Governor was also trying to prevent any accidents.

Although he knew that if he met Ying Mo and showed such a grand display, he might have some objections.

But he also knew that he was taking precautions, and Ying Mo should be able to understand.

Finally, the men were mobilized. These five hundred people were not few at all, and they were all top-tier experts.

They were usually responsible for protecting the Governor, so they were all very familiar with each other, with no possibility of internal trouble.

589, Too hateful, can't escape! (Seeking subscription!)

On the road, the Governor said to the Private Secretary, "After this is over, I must severely punish the County Magistrate of Heishui County."

"This whole matter started because of him; it is simply too hateful. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have had to make this trip."

The Private Secretary beside him heard this and gave a cold snort, saying, "I have long heard that the people of Heishui County are living in dire straits."

"It's just that in the past, no major trouble had occurred, so it was never managed. But now that Ying Mo has come, there must be a '097' big problem."

"With Lord Ying Mo here, he will likely uncover the truth of this matter, which might lead to problems."

"So, Governor, we had better be careful."

When saying the latter part, the Private Secretary's face was full of smiles, looking very happy.

Seeing this, the Governor nodded.

However, by noon the next day, they found they were almost at Heishui County, yet they hadn't discovered anything, so the Governor asked the Private Secretary again.

"Why hasn't anyone come out after so long? I find it very strange. We will reach Heishui County in a few hours. How will he take action against us then?"

After hearing this, the Private Secretary hesitated for a moment: "Governor, we still cannot underestimate the opponent."

"If they are there, we can deal with them. If they aren't, wouldn't that be even better?"

After hearing these words, the Governor felt it made some sense.

However, at this time on the other side, the Blood Blade Sect, with over three hundred people, had long been hiding in the nearby reed marshes.

The Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect led the team personally.

When he observed the Governor bringing the horse team over, he couldn't help but show a look of shock.

"Why does the Governor bring so many guards when traveling?"

At this moment, his expression was full of shock.

The Deputy Sect Master beside him heard this and could only say, "Perhaps because they are going to see Ying Mo this time, they made special preparations."

"But that doesn't matter, because we have poisonous smoke, and we have enough bows and arrows, so they won't be able to escape."

The Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect felt relieved after hearing this.

He had likely brought all his remaining brothers this time, so he was very confident.

Just as the Governor's carriage approached, the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect gave the order directly.

Then, several objects emitting smoke were thrown out, and the Blood Blade Sect members above began to shoot arrows.

Neither side had many people, but because the Blood Blade Sect launched the attack first, the guards under the Governor couldn't react at all.

"They are here, Governor."

The Governor reacted at the first moment, and their carriage stopped immediately.

Hearing this commotion, the Governor was a bit panicked, but he didn't dare to leave the carriage.

"Hurry out and find the Captain of the Guards for me. Ask him how the situation is. Tell him to fight if he can."

At this moment, the Governor was also full of confidence. He felt he could win this time, so he spoke directly...

After hearing these words, the Private Secretary hurried outside.

At this time, after the Blood Blade Sect's arrows were exhausted, at least half of the Governor's men were gone. Then, the Blood Blade Sect members rushed down from the side with large blades.

In such a situation, the Blood Blade Sect members rushed faster than one another, constantly roaring to create a terrifying aura.

At this moment, the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect took the lead and charged at the guards in front.

The Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect naturally had martial arts skills; those ordinary guards were no match for him and were directly beaten.

Then, the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect began to target the people on the carriages.

But because the Governor had been prepared, he had prepared several carriages beforehand.

The Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect could not directly strike the Governor at the first moment.

When the Captain of the Guards came to the Governor, his face was stained with blood.

At this moment, the Governor asked: "How is the situation outside?"

Hearing this, the Captain of the Guards hesitated for a moment and said, "Reporting to the Governor, it is a mess outside, the situation is very dire."

"Our formation has completely collapsed. Governor, I think we should retreat immediately."

After hearing this, the Governor became anxious immediately. He had brought quite a few people.

At the beginning, he also thought he could win, after all, everyone he brought was very capable.

But now that he heard the captain say they should retreat, how could he accept it?

590, Captain of the Guards, stalling for time! (Seeking subscription!)

So after hearing these words, he said: "We brought so many people, how can we just retreat? Are they all useless?"

Hearing this, the Captain of the Guards couldn't help but say bitterly: "There is nothing we can do, we have tried our best."

"But the opponent's strength is too strong, so we are being pushed back step by step, and the situation is very critical."
