Chapter 506

"The Commandery Governor has successfully escaped our encirclement; we have absolutely no way to deal with this."

"Under these circumstances, we are in great danger, so I hope you can provide me with some resources."

Upon hearing these words, the Magistrate of Heishui County became even more confused.

Why was the other party becoming increasingly outrageous? Why were they asking him for support?

Thus, he asked at this moment: "If you have something to say, say it clearly. What is the meaning of this talk about resources?"

"Let me put it to you this way: I have very few resources at my disposal. Even if you want them, I don't have enough to give."

When saying this, the Magistrate of Heishui County spoke with absolute certainty, his demeanor filled with earnestness.

It was as if the matter was completely non-negotiable.

After hearing this, the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect hesitated for a moment before saying: "But Magistrate, our assassination of the Commandery Governor failed."

"If we don't have sufficient resources, how can we attempt the assassination again?"

"You've gone mad, haven't you?"

The Magistrate of Heishui County shouted at this moment, his tone filled with disbelief.

"In the current situation, you failed to kill the target once, and now you want to try a second time."

"Tell me, what exactly are you thinking?"

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect replied: "The current situation is very difficult for us; we don't have many opportunities left."

"I believe that only by attempting the assassination again and not giving the other party any chances can we regain our original advantage."

"Otherwise, we will continue to be suppressed by them."

"I have no choice but to harden my heart and kill the Commandery Governor."

Hearing this, the Magistrate of Heishui County felt as if the other party's mind had truly gone wrong.

He shook his head and said: "You don't need to tell me such useless things. I tell you, this matter is absolutely impossible."

When he said this, his tone was full of finality.

"I cannot send anyone else over."

"Besides, your situation is very dangerous right now; I advise you to go into hiding."

"You may not know that the Commandery Governor also keeps many experts under his command; he just didn't bring them this time."

"Your Blood Blade Sect failed this time, and you want to try again? I cannot support you."

"I will give you two paths: either give up directly and go into hiding, or we draw a line between us."

The Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect seemed not to have expected the Magistrate of Heishui County to be so resolute.

He was stunned for a moment.

One must know that the Blood Blade Sect of today is not the same as the Blood Blade Sect of the past.

In the past, the Blood Blade Sect possessed a large number of disciples and sufficient strength, capable of calling for wind and rain.

In the past, the Magistrate of Heishui County even took the initiative to cooperate with them.

But the situation now is completely different; only if the Magistrate of Heishui County provides them with sufficient resources can they survive better.

Otherwise, their situation will become even worse, so at this moment, he knew he could not offend the Magistrate of Heishui County.

Therefore, even though the Magistrate of Heishui County was being particularly impolite, he could only endure it and then say:

"Magistrate, what do you mean by this? We are one and the same; please don't speak so stubbornly, as it is disadvantageous for us."

"Then tell me, what should be done?"

At this moment, the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect said hesitantly, his expression conflicted, his eyes carrying a trace of coldness.

After hearing this, the Magistrate of Heishui County said:

"Didn't you ask me for a lot of resources and silver taels before? I can give those to you."

"But you must promise me one thing: you must hide in the vicinity of Heishui County first, and we will cooperate again after the wind blows over."

"If the wind has not blown over, you are not to come out."

"Furthermore, you are not to go and assassinate anyone else, including Ying Mo and the Commandery Governor; you must learn to hide yourselves."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect felt somewhat displeased and said:

"Magistrate, do you have some misunderstanding about my strength? I have many people under my command. Although we failed to assassinate the Commandery Governor this time,"

"that was entirely because the intelligence was incorrect. If we had brought enough men, the Commandery Governor would certainly not have survived."

"So we still have the capability to act; I don't think we need to hide."

The Magistrate of Heishui County had long guessed that the other party would argue loudly with him at this moment.

But he did not want to argue with the other party, only saying: "Do you think I am joking with you? I will tell you directly: impossible..."

"In any case, you must do this well. Either hide, or we sever our relationship."

The Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect fell into a state of conflict upon hearing this.

But after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded.

Because he and the Magistrate of Heishui County were originally in a cooperative relationship, but because of Ying Mo's interference,

he now found himself in need of the Magistrate of Heishui County's help.

So finally, he said: "Then, Magistrate, we will continue to hide the Blood Blade Sect."

"Then how long do we need to hide?"

The Magistrate of Heishui County said: "How would I know how long? Wait until the wind blows over, wait until Ying Mo stops investigating this matter, wait until the Commandery Governor forgets his hatred for you."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect suddenly did not know what to say.

But the matter had already transpired, and looking at the other party's expression, he knew this could not be changed.

The Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect sighed at this moment and said:

"Magistrate, it was indeed our fault, so we are willing to accept your requirements. I hope we can get through this crisis together."

The Magistrate of Heishui County's expression softened slightly upon hearing this.

"I am doing this for your own good."

A day later, Ying Mo received news from the Commandery Governor and was suddenly furious.

"How is the Commandery Governor doing now? Did he suffer any injuries?"

Ying Mo asked decisively at this moment. When he heard the Captain's words, his expression changed drastically.

595. Inconceivable, But Speak Freely! (Please subscribe!)

Originally, he had intended to have the Commandery Governor come over to deal with the Magistrate of Heishui County,

while he himself would go to deal with the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect.

In this way, the cooperation between the two could resolve the matter more easily.

But what Ying Mo did not expect was that the Blood Blade Sect would dare to strike at such a time; this was truly inconceivable.

Upon hearing this, the Captain said: "The Commandery Governor is in a stable condition now. He specifically sent me here to tell Ying Mo about this matter."

"Rest for two days, then come to Heishui County."

"The Commandery Governor did not come this time and hopes to receive your forgiveness, Ying Mo. This time, there was truly an accident."

Upon hearing this, Ying Mo nodded and said:

"This matter has nothing much to do with him; it is mainly because the Blood Blade Sect appeared suddenly. I know what to do about this."

At this moment, the Captain added: "However, before coming, the Commandery Governor also asked me to tell you a few things."

Ying Mo was somewhat surprised upon hearing this and asked: "If there is anything to say, speak freely."

The Captain continued: "The Commandery Governor said that he had previously discovered a connection between the Magistrate of Heishui County and the Blood Blade Sect."

"And it seems they have cooperated many times, and their contact with each other is quite close."

"But because the Commandery Governor is usually busy with official business, he only paid some attention to the matters here but never sent anyone; this was indeed his oversight."

"The Commandery Governor also said that if there is any way he can help this time, please feel free to instruct him, Ying Mo; he will definitely come."

Ying Mo naturally dismissed this with disdain upon hearing it.

After all, for him, dealing with the Magistrate of Heishui County would not be a difficult task even without the Commandery Governor's help.

He had Meng Tian's army, so even if he had seen through all the people of Heishui County, he would have a way.

It was just that at this moment, he wanted to clarify the relationship between the Magistrate of Heishui County and the Blood Blade Sect.

Upon hearing this, Ying Mo said: "So that's how it is. Then this Blood Blade Sect must not be left alive; having caused so much trouble, they truly deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces."
