Chapter 504

"Governor, it's not that we don't want to fight, but if we continue, you might be in danger. If only we were to die, we wouldn't care. Please, Governor, grant us permission to retreat immediately."

At this moment, the Captain of the Guards was very rational; he knew they couldn't be reckless.

He knew they had been ambushed, and if they continued to fight, they would definitely be the ones to suffer.

And most importantly, if they continued to fight, the one who would die in the end would be the Governor.

If that happened, there would be a huge disaster. If the Governor died here,

then the entire region would fall into chaos, and it might even alarm the imperial court, and none of them would survive.

Moreover, at this moment, he showed a helpless expression and said directly to the Governor.

"Governor, the people who came this time are basically from the Blood Blade Sect. Their martial arts are very high, much stronger than ours."

"Plus, they launched a surprise attack, so our ability is simply no match for them. So I think we should retreat first."

"We really have no way to deal with this ambush."

Hearing this, the Governor was still unwilling; he thought he had brought so many people, they shouldn't retreat.

However, at this moment, the Private Secretary beside him couldn't watch anymore and could only say.

"Governor, let's retreat. If we don't, we will all die. It would be better to go back and mobilize more people to fight back."

"And this time, the Blood Blade Sect was well-prepared; it doesn't have much to do with the number of people."

"They released poisonous smoke, and those bows and arrows are simply not something we can resist."

After hearing this, the Captain of the Guards spoke again.

"Our men can't hold on for much longer. Governor, you should hurry and leave. I will send fifty guards to protect you, and I will lead the others to continue resisting to stall for time for you."

"If you agree, I will have the coachman drive the carriage back now, and I will have people follow behind you."

At this moment, the Captain of the Guards was very responsible; he was willing to stay behind because he was very loyal to the Governor.

Hearing this, the Governor hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said.

"Alright, I agree to your retreat, but you must be careful and try to save your own lives."

Hearing this, the Captain of the Guards couldn't help but feel moved; he didn't expect the Governor to have such a side.

He nodded vigorously and said: "Don't worry, Governor, I will do my best to return. You should go first."

After saying this, he raised his blade and charged toward the back.

At the same time, the coachman received the order and began driving the carriage back.

Seeing this, the Blood Blade Sect members couldn't tolerate it and immediately rushed over to intercept the carriage.

But the Captain of the Guards was no pushover at this moment.

The Captain of the Guards immediately raised his weapon and charged at the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect.

Because he saw that their Sect Master was the most capable fighter, he wanted to have a direct confrontation with him.

But it was clear that the Captain of the Guards was no match; many of his guards had already been killed, and the Blood Blade Sect held an absolute advantage. He felt very distressed.

But when he saw the carriage moving far away, a hint of relief flashed across his eyes.

The opponent's target was the Governor.

As long as the Governor could escape, everything was worth it.

This time, the Governor suffered heavy losses, losing several hundred men, and half of the fifty people who accompanied him back were also killed.

The Blood Blade Sect members fell into a frenzy, killing wildly.

He was very unwilling at this moment, but he still rushed back to the county city all the way.

"Are those people not going to survive?"

The Governor asked the Private Secretary beside him.

"Governor, those guards might be hard to survive, because the Blood Blade Sect is too strong!"

"And they attacked suddenly, so we were really hard to defend against this time. We would need at least a thousand people to have a chance of winning."

Hearing this.

The Governor reacted immediately.

His face gradually turned ugly, and his eyes were filled with a trace of doubt.

"We have so many people under our command, yet we couldn't beat the Blood Blade Sect. This is simply ridiculous, it's truly disappointing."

591, Extremely angry, root out the trouble! (Seeking subscription!)

At this moment, the Governor was extremely angry and wanted to vent his rage. The Private Secretary below heard this and was quite helpless.

At this moment, the Private Secretary lowered his head, not daring to say anything more; he knew that if he said more, he would invite insults.

At this moment, the Governor said: "Anyway, the current situation is very unfavorable for us. We must find out who did this."

Saying this, the Governor returned to his main hall and sat down in the center position.

He drank a cup of tea to slightly calm his emotions, and only then did he finally calm down completely.

He said to the Private Secretary under his command: "This crisis was caused by the Blood Blade Sect."

"Then do you think there is any instruction from the County Magistrate of Heishui County behind this?"

After hearing this, the Private Secretary hesitated for a moment.

As the Private Secretary beside the Governor, he needed to provide strategies in normal times, so after hearing this, he said.

"I think it's very likely."

"Because, Governor, your trip to Heishui County is very unfavorable for the County Magistrate of Heishui County."

"He will definitely try his best to stop you, and the only people he can cooperate with are the Blood Blade Sect."

"That's why they would take such ruthless action against you. Besides that, I can't think of any other reason."

When saying this, his tone carried a sense of extreme distress.

It was clear that this matter was indeed true.

After hearing these words, the Governor lowered his head.

But it was clear that the Governor's eyes were filled with anger; he hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

At this time, he heard the Private Secretary say again: "This matter has a huge impact. I think we must severely punish the County Magistrate of Heishui County."

"This matter definitely has a lot to do with him."

After hearing this, the Governor said angrily.

"But I can't even go to Heishui County now, so how can I deal with this County Magistrate of Heishui County?"

"And if I don't go, I can't find any evidence. This matter has reached a dead end."

"It is simply too presumptuous."

Hearing this, the Private Secretary beside him continued: "Isn't Lord Ying Mo in Heishui County now? I think his main goal is to deal with the Blood Blade Sect and the County Magistrate of Heishui County."

"So I think we can rely on Lord Ying Mo's methods to solve them all."

"The Blood Blade Sect is actually like a setting sun now; it seems to still have warmth, but in reality, it has no ability to resist."

"You don't need to be too panicked. This operation is not dangerous for us."

After hearing this, the Governor nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

However, at this moment, a chaotic sound came from outside.

"The Captain of the Guards is back!"

Hearing this, the Governor hurried outside.

If it weren't for this Captain of the Guards when he was fleeing earlier, he might not have escaped.

He still remembered that during his escape, the Captain of the Guards had charged directly at the opponent.

So he was still very grateful to this Captain of the Guards in his heart, and naturally, he was extra excited to hear that he had returned.

After going out, he saw the Captain of the Guards returning with a weary face, riding a horse, followed by three or five people.

The group looked very exhausted, each swaying on their horses, as if they would fall down in the next second.

At this moment, the Governor asked: "Why are there only a few of you left? Where are the others?"

Hearing this, the Captain of the Guards said helplessly: "Governor, we only managed to escape by risking our lives."

"All the other brothers were killed."

Hearing this, the Governor said helplessly: "Someone, settle them all properly and treat them with the highest honors."

After hearing this, a group of people gathered around.

Then they helped them inside to rest.

At this moment, the Governor was full of curiosity and asked.

"By the way, after we left, why were you able to escape?"
