The Eagle Shooting Heroes: From Golden-Knife Prince Consort to Emperor Guangwu of the Great Zhou Dyn

Upon seeing this, Ya Laowachi hurriedly beckoned the men over and scolded them, "The city lord is here! Why aren't you paying your respects?"

The men immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Guo Liqing.

"Get up! You've come looking for Ya Laowachi?"

"Yes."

"What's wrong?"

The group stammered, not daring to speak.

Ya Laowachi glanced at Guo Liqing, but couldn't read any emotion on his face.

He felt a pang of panic.

These people must have come here for something, but they didn't speak to Guo Liqing, which inevitably made Guo Liqing think that they had something to say to Ya Laowachi alone.

This is a big no-no.

Now Guo Liqing is the master of this city, and he can kill them at any time if he is dissatisfied.

"Just say what you have to say! Don't beat around the bush."

The officials looked at Guo Liqing, their fear growing.

Guo Liqing looked at Ya Laowachi and said, "Should I avoid this?"

Upon hearing this, Ya Laowachi was so frightened that he jumped up from his seat and knelt down to kowtow.

"Lord City Lord, we didn't...we're not..."

"Wait, let me hear what's going on."

Ya Laowachi glared angrily at the officials, "Speak quickly, what is it?!"

"My lord...the city...the Mongol soldiers in the city are massacring civilians again."

"What?" Guo Liqing stood up immediately upon hearing this.

Ya Laowachi, standing nearby, berated the official, "Explain clearly, whose troops are you?"

"We don't know, all we know are Mongol soldiers!"

"Take me there quickly!"

"yes!"

Ya Laowachi led the way.

As Guo Liqing walked, he said, "They dared not speak because the Mongol soldiers attacked?"

Ya Laowachi nodded quickly, "It should be."

"The Great Khan has already promised me that the rest of the people will be under my command, so why has he ordered another massacre?"

"My lord, it might not have been ordered by the Khan; perhaps it was done by other units on their own. There have been quite a few similar incidents lately, but none of us dare to speak of it!"

Guo Liqing, enraged, retorted, "What do you mean I dare not say! You are now my property. If anyone kills my people, do you think I don't care!"

Led by the officials, Guo Liqing rode his horse to the city market.

This place is a melting pot of Turkic and Persian merchants, and even Han and Jin merchants, making it a rather complex area in the city.

As soon as Guo Liqing entered the market, he saw a corpse in the alley.

Upon seeing the empty warehouse in the alley, Ya Laowachi quickly understood.

He quickly said to Guo Liqing, "Sir, they must have robbed the merchants of their wealth."

"snort!"

Guo Liqing strode into the depths of the market, where houses were scattered and alleys were intricate.

After Guo Liqing rushed in, he soon saw a group of Mongolian soldiers.

"stop!"

Guo Liqing shouted loudly.

Upon seeing the approaching figures, the Mongol soldiers immediately stopped fighting and prepared to flee.

Guo Liqing leaped into the air and chased after him in two quick steps.

Suddenly, he felt two faint fluctuations in the airflow.

Guo Liqing quickly landed and bent down.

"Tap! Tap!"

Two metallic clanging sounds rang out; two throwing knives had embedded themselves in the stone wall of the house.

When Ya Laowachi saw this, he felt like the sky had fallen.

"Assassin! Assassin!"

Guo Liqing did not have the habit of bringing guards with him, and his shouts could only summon patrolling soldiers at most.

However, there seemed to be no patrolling soldiers nearby, and the only Mongol soldiers were the same group that had taken advantage of the chaos to rob people.

At that moment, they had already taken the opportunity to escape.

Guo Liqing did not chase after the soldiers, but instead prepared for defense.

We are currently at a crossroads in an alley, leading in all directions, where an assassin could appear from any direction.

"Butcher, your life is forfeit!"

Suddenly, a black figure descended from the sky.

Judging from the voice, the assassin was actually a woman.

When Guo Liqing noticed, he could only quickly dodge.

He had just transmigrated and was not yet familiar with many martial arts moves, but he used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms quite often.

After regaining his balance, he channeled his inner energy and unleashed a palm strike!

"Bang!"

In an instant, the walls of the house were blasted apart by the force of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere.

Guo Liqing looked closely and saw only a pile of rubble in front of him, with no one else around.

He immediately turned around, but just then, a broken blade came from the side.

Guo Liqing leaned back to dodge and was about to reach out to grab him.

However, the opponent was extremely agile.

With a turn, the broken blade slashed at Guo Liqing's neck once more.

Guo Liqing could only continue to hide.

During this period, Guo Jing had already completed the Yi Jing Bone Forging Chapter of the Nine Yin Manual, which greatly improved his physical functions.

Guo Liqing inherited this body. Although he did not fully master these martial arts, his instinctive reactions were still quite good.

Upon seeing the close-quarters combat, Guo Liqing immediately changed his tactics, attacking from both sides.

The assassin was completely bewildered when he fought Guo Liqing.

Why do a person's left and right hands use two different moves?

The assassin was struggling to keep up when Guo Liqing knocked his weapon away with a single palm strike and then subdued him with a grappling move.

"Let me go, you butcher!"

Guo Liqing grabbed the assassin from behind, his body pressed against the assassin's, feeling the assassin's soft, yielding body.

To confirm her gender, he even touched her, "She really is a female assassin."

"Ah! You butcher, you're a demon!" The female assassin felt humiliated after being pinched.

"Bring me a rope!"

As soon as Guo Liqing raised his hand, Ya Laowachi, who was standing next to him, immediately found a rope.

Guo Liqing tied up the assassin and searched him thoroughly to check for any hidden weapons.

Curious, he removed the female assassin's black veil and discovered that she was a woman with a Persian appearance, deep-set eyes, a high nose, and honey-colored skin, who looked very delicate.

"Butcher! Demon!" the female assassin yelled at Guo Jing, speaking in Mongolian, as if afraid he wouldn't understand!

Guo Liqing held the female assassin with one hand while keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings to prevent any attacks from her accomplices.

However, after waiting for a while, the assassin's accomplices did not arrive, but the city patrol guards did.

Upon seeing that it was Guo Liqing, the team leader immediately stepped forward respectfully and asked, "Na Yan! What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Liqing realized that these must be personnel from headquarters.

But he still asked, "Whose command are you?"

"We are under Natul's command."

Guo Liqing nodded. Natu'er was the son of Chi Laowen and had a good relationship with Guo Jing, so he was considered one of their own.

"It's nothing, just an assassination attempt."

Upon hearing this, the squad leader quickly asked, "Yan, should we call in more troops?"

"Don't rush, let me find out what's going on first."

Guo Liqing looked at the female assassin and asked, "Why did you try to assassinate me?"

"You killed my people, so naturally I will kill you to avenge you!"

Guo Liqing smiled. "Do you have any accomplices?"

No, it's just me.

Guo Liqing scratched his head, looked at Ya Laowachi, and asked, "Do you know this person?"

Ya Laowachi was startled and immediately knelt down. "My lord, I am not her accomplice! I know nothing about this!"

Guo Liqing was brought here by Ya Laowachi's men, and he was assassinated as soon as he arrived.

Upon closer examination, Ya Laowachi is undoubtedly involved.

Guo Liqing looked at Ya Laowachi. He had considered this possibility, but after a little analysis, he knew that there was no need for him to do so.

Given the relationship between Guo Jing and Genghis Khan, if Guo Jing were to die, it would surely enrage Genghis Khan, leading to another massacre.

With Ya Laowachi's intelligence, it's impossible that he didn't think of this.

Thinking about this, Guo Liqing also felt a headache coming on.

He immediately gave the order, "No one is to be told what happened here today!"
