Thirty black hors*men appeared at the entrance to the town.
They were dressed in black, their faces covered with black scarves, reeking of bloodshed, and beneath them were tall horses, their hooves wrapped in cloth, moving towards the town in a well-trained manner.
The somewhat bustling town instantly fell silent, and when the people walking along the road with happy smiles on their faces saw them, their faces instantly changed and they turned around and ran home, closing their gates, and in just a moment the wide streets were empty.
These people walked through the town and headed straight for the medical centre, leaving one behind every few dozen feet, their blades glowing cold in the cold night.
A bold man quietly brought a ladder to the wall and climbed up, but when he saw the cold glow of the blades, he rolled off the ladder in fear, but did not dare to cry out in pain, so he rolled back inside and bolted the door tightly.
In front of the medical hall, a stool was placed on which Song Wan Yue sat, with seven guards lined up behind her.
The men in black approached, stopping about a foot away from them, their bloodthirsty gaze falling on Song Wangyue.
“Coming?”
Song Wangyue greeted them as if she had seen an old friend with a glance.
A strange look flashed in the eyes of the leader, he did not expect that the one who came to kill was a young girl, moreover, he did not expect that this young girl did not have the slightest fear when she saw them.
He opened his mouth, his voice slightly pressed, “Song Wangyue?”
“Yes.”
As Song Wangyue’s words fell, the man at the head of the group waved his hand, and a dozen men dismounted from their horses and came towards them with blades in hand.
The guards met them, and the sound of swords clashing was extraordinarily loud in the silent night.
Several families adjacent to the medical centre had gone limp with fear and the families huddled close together, listening in terror to the commotion outside.
Song Wangyue did not move.
The man at the head of the group was also sitting on his horse, unmoving.
The guards and the men in black fought, both of them ruthless, no one showing any mercy.
The leader narrowed his eyes, waved his hand again and ten more men joined in.
“I say ……”
Song Wan Yue spoke with a smile, her delicate eyebrows emitting an inexplicable light under the moonlight, “Bullying the young with the many, aren’t you guys going too far?”
Her voice is not high, and her tone is still a bit childish, as if a young lady raised in a deep harem and unaware of the plight of others asks innocent questions.
The man at the head of the group did not answer, but ordered, “Quickly!”
The remaining men in black behind them all dismounted and joined in, leaving only the leader sitting tall on his horse.
Song Wangyue stood up unhurriedly, ignoring the fight in front of her and took a step forward, suddenly leaping up, her dagger glowing coldly in her hand and stabbing at the man at the head of the horse.
The man at the head of the group did not expect her to know martial arts, and his eyes flashed with surprise, but only for a moment before they turned to pity.
Song Wan Yue’s body turned and landed out of reach behind him, and the dagger in her hand pierced the horse’s body.
The horse whinnied and its front hooves buckled. The leader of the group changed his face and jumped off the horse in a panic, but before his feet hit the ground, Song Wangyue had already attacked.
The leader of the group swung his sword to block the attack. The weapons clashed with an ear-splitting sound.
Song Wangyue withdrew her stance and rolled on the ground as the sword came at her, then leapt up high, flipped backwards and landed behind the leader, stabbing him in the back with a dagger in her hand.
The leader quickly turned around to block the attack, but the dagger in Song Wangyue’s hand suddenly turned in a different direction and stabbed him fiercely in the foot.
The leader’s face changed in pain and his sword came towards Song Wangyue, who rolled on the ground again, pulling out the dagger as she did so, spilling blood.
The leader of the group let out a stifled grunt.
Song Wangyue had already rolled behind him, and the dagger in her hand once again plunged fiercely into his back.
The leader’s body stiffened, his eyes widened in disbelief as he slowly turned around, his body falling backwards as Song Wangyue smiled and hit the ground with a thud.
The people in black who were fighting paused in their hands and looked over in disbelief as the seven guards took advantage of the distraction to finish off a few in quick succession.
“Kill them and avenge the head!”
A shout brought the men in black back to their senses, and their hands moved faster to attack, forcing the seven guards to retreat one after another.
Song Wangyue joined in, she weaved through the black-clothed people like a ghost, bringing up a column of blood wherever she passed.
Not only the men in black, but also the seven guards were startled, their hands moving slightly slower and one of them was stabbed in the arm by the other, and it was only with a muffled grunt from him that the remaining six came back to their senses.
As they grunted more and more, the men in black became fewer and fewer, and when there were only ten left, panic appeared in their eyes and one of them gave the signal, and the ten gradually closed in and retreated outside the town.
“Don’t let them go!”
Song Wangyue’s voice was cold and chilly, as different from what she had just heard.
The seven guards stalked up, finishing the men off after a quarter of an hour, checking them again and mending the ones who weren’t dead, before they collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Silence returned to the town.
The hearts of those huddled in their homes sank, thinking of Song Wan Yue’s miserable fate, and then of their own.
“The girl ……”
A guard stood up and looked at Song Wan Yue with admiration, they were the guards of the Xiao family, they had been bought into the house for training since they were young and thought that their skills were better than the average person, but compared to Song Wan Yue, they were much worse.
“Are you alright?
“Nothing, search their bodies and stack the men together.”
The rest of the guards got up and searched carefully.
Song Wangyue turned around and walked inside the medical hall, she had already asked Doctor Chu’s family and the fellows to move elsewhere in advance, no one was inside the medical hall at the moment.
She went behind the counter, took out the golden sore medicine and gauze, and turned to go out to treat the wounded guards, but one guard came in with a tense expression and a very shocked look, “Miss, they are from the army.”
Song Wan Yue also paused in her steps, she thought that the magistrate would not be so kind and would definitely send someone to retaliate, but she did not expect that it would be someone from the army, in that case, it was possible that the signal sent by that person just now was not for these people to retreat, but to inform others.
She walked quickly outside, “Let the injured men be dealt with first, there should be others behind them.”
……
By now, the county governor had arrived at the gates of the capital city.
The city gates had long since closed, and the city tower was patrolled without even the soldiers on patrol.
“Master, what should we do?”
The coachman asked.
“Call the city gates.”
The county governor got down from the carriage and, not caring about etiquette, shouted at the top of his voice, “Is there anyone there? I am the Governor of Qing Yun County, I have something important to report to the Lord Governor!”
