Chapter 78 Crown Prince

A cold wind swept through, and the perfect power of the Yin Ghost Sword engulfed and killed it in an instant.

He killed two people in a short period of time, and because of Song Changming's interference, the opponent's momentum was also hindered.

And strong men like Lu Zheng have also engaged the enemy, and have also demonstrated the strength that the elite troops of the General Administration should have.

This line of defense is still solid.

clang!
After Song Changming killed three people in a row, when he met the fourth person, his dragon-patterned knife was blocked by the opponent.

Under the bamboo hat, this is the face of a middle-aged man with high cheekbones.

Now Song Changming's bone-strengthening skills have reached the fourth level of strength, and he has developed a body of brute force that is extraordinary.

With the dragon-patterned knife in his hand, anyone who can block his sword head-on must either have a higher level of physical cultivation than him, or be born with supernatural powers.

Song Changming quickly realized that the person in front of him was the former.

His body refining skills have reached the fifth level of strength!

And even if it is not the same bone-strengthening direction as his, it must be the body-strengthening direction of training the flesh and taking the route of becoming a big muscular man.

Undoubtedly, Song Changming met a real opponent.

The man picked up the machete in his hand, turned from defense to offense, and swung it fiercely.

Song Changming used the Soul-Breaking Sword to fight with him.

The two sides fought with strength. Even though Song Changming was only at the fourth level of body refining cultivation, in terms of strength training, it seemed that he was not inferior to the opponent who was at the fifth level of body refining cultivation.

In this case, the two sides compete with each other in martial arts attainments such as sword skills and light body skills, as well as combat experience and reaction in battle.

Song Changming also has another advantage, which is his Spirit Monkey Marrow Cleansing Technique, which he has practiced to the second level. Although the strength is not high, it is enough to make him more agile and quicker than his opponent.

When masters of equal strength fight each other, some other advantages can be easily magnified and turned into a winning advantage!
They exchanged dozens of sword blows, sparks flew, and the fight was extremely intense.

But in the end, Song Changming exploited the opponent's weakness with faster sword moves and footwork.

The next moment, Song Changming changed the momentum of his sword, and swept over like a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. A point of silver light completely broke the opponent's momentum, pierced through his chest and abdomen, and seriously injured him.

Immediately afterwards, Song Changming transformed the Soul-Breaking Sword into his own and beheaded the man with one blow, without wasting a moment.

This person seemed to have some weight. After being killed by Song Changming, many of the other party were shaken and were no longer so determined to attack.

After a few breaths, someone blew a whistle.

When the remaining people heard the whistle, they gave up the attack and chose to retreat.

"Want to leave!"

At this time, the captain in front came on horseback with dozens of cavalrymen. He pierced the attacker's body with a shot and lifted him into the air.

"Don't leave any one alive!" Xie Shihuan on the other side also shouted loudly, and all the patrol guards rushed forward to chase and intercept the attackers.

In the end, the dozens of attackers were almost all killed, with only a few remaining who disappeared during the chaos.

"Who ordered you to do such a cruel thing?" Xie Shihuan shouted coldly as he looked at the row of survivors of the attackers.

"I dare to speak, but do you dare to listen?" One of the attackers suddenly raised his head, stared at Xie Shihuan, and said slowly.

"Are you trying to say that the person behind you is some big shot, and we can't even listen to him?!" Xie Shihuan was so angry that he laughed.

Lu Zheng on the side frowned, raised his foot and stomped hard on the attacker's chest, causing him to vomit blood.

"Tell the truth if you want to live!"

"Yes, it's the current crown prince!" the attacker shouted sternly, revealing a mouthful of teeth soaked in blood.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed suddenly.

Song Changming was no exception. His first subconscious reaction was that the other party was talking nonsense and he didn't dare to think about it deeply.

No one present dared to be an enemy of the Crown Prince who seemed to be in heaven.

Let alone them, who else in this world would dare to do that?

The atmosphere froze. Xie Shihuan's mouth twitched several times, and he was about to take action.

At this time, an old man dressed in dark brocade clothes and wearing a jade crown slowly lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage.

The old man's hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were quite charming. He frowned and looked at the group of attackers in front of him.

His elegant temperament reveals the majesty of a person who has been in a high position for a long time, which makes people feel at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.

"General Xie, Captain Fan, don't listen to their nonsense. The Crown Prince is so noble, how could he send such a bunch of scumbags to make trouble? It must be someone else. Please bring him back for interrogation." The old man bowed to Xie Shihuan and Captain Fan Yun, directly denying the outrageous remarks made by the attacker.

Everyone felt convinced.

Indeed, if the Crown Prince really wanted to do something, he could just issue an order. Why would he need to use this group of ordinary attackers to do things?

There was no surprise on Song Changming's face, but he had some other thoughts in his mind.

Why didn't the attacker mention anyone else but only mentioned the Crown Prince?

It sounds outrageous and unrealistic to them, but that may not be what is said specifically for them.

The important person who had been sitting in the carriage quite calmly before, when he heard about the crown prince, he immediately stepped forward to refute the rumor.

This shows that he was not calm at that time.

Maybe the old man in the carriage really had some connection with the current crown prince, which was why the attacker took advantage of the situation.

Of course, according to normal thinking, it is indeed unlikely that the Crown Prince was the mastermind behind the attack.

Otherwise, this crown prince is too disappointing.

"Your Excellency is right. We should not stay here for long. We should return to the county town as soon as possible." Fan Yun nodded. The spear in his hand was still dripping with blood, which had not yet dried.

"Okay, escort them all back!" Xie Shihuan ordered.

The escort will be carried out by the patrol team that is intact after the war, and they are professionals in this matter.

In addition, the guards and soldiers who were poisoned and fell to the ground were put on horses and taken away, and the remaining bodies were dealt with later.

The convoy set off again, moving faster than before to avoid any further incidents.

And when they passed the place where the cavalry had charged before, they found that there were more broken bodies and limbs of the attackers flying everywhere. The scene was extremely tragic.

For a moment, Song Changming couldn't estimate how many intact bodies could be pieced together from the large amount of body fragments.

It seems that there were at least a hundred attackers who died here, which shows how brave the cavalry led by Captain Fan Yun were.

The first cavalry defense line built was indeed strong enough, allowing only dozens of attackers to reach the location of Song Changming and others.

After more than half a day, the convoy was escorted all the way into the city and arrived at the county governor's mansion.

The county magistrate Xiao Jingchuan, who had already received the news, and other officials under his command stopped at the door to greet them.

When he saw the damaged and blood-stained convoy, Xiao Jingchuan's face suddenly changed and he hurried forward to inquire.

"But what happened? Is that gentleman safe and sound?"

The safety of those who come on this trip is what he cares most about.

Anything can happen to anyone except him.

In fact, even the county magistrate did not expect that this important man would have no trouble all the way south, but the accident happened when he was about to reach his county town.

"We encountered attackers, and there were casualties among the patrol guards and cavalry soldiers. But fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission and the people we were supposed to protect are safe." Xie Shihuan was the first to report.

He did not dare to hide anything about what had just happened, including telling everyone about the Crown Prince mentioned by the attacker.

"Crown Prince!" Xiao Jingchuan was obviously startled when he heard it, and immediately whispered to Xie Shihuan.

"This matter must not be made public. As for those survivors, we must interrogate them as soon as possible. This matter is of utmost importance!"

"Yes." Xie Shihuan nodded in agreement.

In the carriage on the other side, the old man had already walked down by himself, and immediately attracted all of Xiao Jingchuan's attention.

Xiao Jingchuan hurried forward and was about to salute, but was stopped by the old man's handrail.

"Now that I'm here, I'll have to rely on you, County Magistrate Xiao. No need to be polite."

"Don't worry, sir. I have already told you everything. You are tired from the journey, so you can rest at my county governor's residence first. It is absolutely safe here." Xiao Jingchuan replied immediately.

"Thank you." The old man nodded, and under the guidance of Xiao Jingchuan, he slowly walked into the county magistrate's mansion.

Song Changming stood far away outside the county magistrate's mansion and watched the old man walk in.

For some reason, he just felt that a huge trouble had come here.

That old man must have a big secret, and it must be very serious!
