Shen Haoxuan picked up the fan and threw it towards the encirclement. The fan hit the assassin ruthlessly and a small hole was opened up.
Xuanyuan Chen and Shen Haoxuan took the chance to enter the gap, and reunited with Xie Qingrong, only to see that there were many big and small wounds on her body, and they did not know how deep the wounds were. Xuanyuan Chen only felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and his clothes were tinged with blood, causing him to lose all his focus.
"A Rong." Xuanyuan Chen called out softly, his low voice filled with deep concern and worry.
Xie Qingrong smiled faintly, the killing intent in her eyes raging, a patch of scarlet added another layer of iciness to her exceptional complexion, clear and cold.
"These people are hard to deal with, you guys be careful." Xie Qingrong said indifferently, but her hands did not stop moving. With a quick flip of her wrist, the thin blade pierced into the abdomen of an assassin and he pulled the blade out, blood splattering everywhere.
Xuanyuan Chen pursed his lips, and fiercely thrusted his right hand behind him.
A sword to seal the throat!
The assassin's round eyes were wide open as he fell to the ground.
The three of them worked well together to take care of the assassins around them one by one. Each of them killed almost all the assassins in a single strike.
It was just the last layer of encirclement. These assassins were much stronger than the previous ones. Their moves were deadly, and they showed no mercy.
The three of them had fought to the point of being unable to decide who would win and who would lose.
Xie Qingrong found a chance and thrusted the thin blade into the man's abdomen, but she was able to dodge it in one move, causing a look of difference to flash past Xie Qingrong's eyes.
Unexpectedly, this person was extremely sensitive to auras.
"Who are you, who dares to attack within the borders of the Min City, ignore the rules of the Min City, and capture all of them." A clear male voice sounded, and very quickly, another group of people charged into the encirclement where Xie Qingrong was.
A man who looked like the leader of the assassins took out a whistle from his chest pocket as soon as he saw someone joining the group. He blew the whistle loudly, causing it to resound in the forest.
One by one, the killers retreated back into the forest, while the guards surrounded Xie Qingrong and the other two, they had already unsheathed their swords, without moving, as though they were waiting for the man's order.
A middle-aged man walked out from the guards. Although he was around the age of middle-aged, his facial features were as handsome as the wind, the sun, and the moon. The passage of time did not leave too many scars on his face.
The man's face was filled with dignity, his entire body was releasing an extraordinary aura, facing Xie Qingrong who was filled with killing intent, he did not show any signs of retreat.
A flash of praise appeared in Xuanyuan Chen's and Shen Haoxuan's eyes.
The middle-aged man looked at Xie Qingrong's beautiful face, his eyes were surprised, and quickly recovered. He laughed: "This must be Miss Xie Qingrong Xie."
The killing intent in Xie Qingrong's eyes faded, but the wariness in her eyes became even more obvious, and she asked unkindly: "How do you know?"
Xuanyuan Chen and Shen Haoxuan were also slightly stunned as they looked at each other.
"We can't stay here for long, why not Miss Xie and rest for a while, after that I will explain everything to Miss Xie." The middle-aged man kindly suggested.
Although Xie Qingrong did not know why the middle-aged man recognized her, she did not sense anything amiss in the middle aged man's body.
However, now was indeed the time to rest. Just now, he had fought against that group of people, and his body was stained with the repulsive smell of blood. It was simply unbearable.
Nodding towards Xuanyuan Chen, he followed the middle aged man into the city. Xuanyuan Chen and Shen Haoxuan remained silent and followed closely behind.
As for the middle-aged man, he didn't question Xuanyuan Chen and Shen Haoxuan too much, and seemed to be extremely at ease.
It was a bit strange! Xuanyuan Chen's sharp senses detected something strange about the middle aged man.
After Xie Qingrong and the other two had washed up, the middle-aged man invited them to the study room.
Inside the study room, the hot tea had already been brewed. Xuanyuan Chen poured himself a cup and drank it all up. Shen Haoxuan waved his fan, his gaze landed on the middle-aged man who was smiling like a spring breeze, and said with certainty: "I think, you must be City Lord Min Min Wentian."
Min Wentian laughed, and asked with praise: "Sir, your eyesight is good, I wonder who you are?"
Shen Haoxuan replied humbly: "I'm just an ordinary merchant."
Min Wentian's eyes flashed with a glint of light as he said in understanding, "I presume you are the richest man in Jiangnan, Shen Haoxuan.
Seeing Min Wentian and Shen Haoxuan's constant praising and modesty, Xie Qingrong impatiently frowned, interrupting the polite exchange of praise between the two, and asked coldly: "How do you know that I'm Xie Qingrong?"
Although Min Wentian was filled with an unordinary heroic spirit, she was still curious as to how this person could recognize his at a glance.
Min Wentian raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xie Qingrong with a gaze that carried a tinge of undetectable nostalgia and gratitude, before sighing: "I don't know you, I only know your mother."
Hearing that, Xie Qingrong was startled, a look of astonishment flashed past her eyes, and she asked: "What happened?"
"This is a long story. Allow me to explain in detail. " Min Wentian said indifferently, his clear and bright voice had a tinge of nostalgia, and the gaze he looked at Xie Qingrong with became gentler.
"Our Min family was hunted down by our enemies. In order to protect me, my parents made me look like a beggar and avoided being hunted by our enemies. I also lived on the streets begging for a living. Before the Min family fell, I was a member of the family. I had the love of my parents and the care of my brother.
I almost starved to death on the street. Fortunately, I met your mother Shang Huaiyue, if not for the rice she gave me, I would have been a ghost in the mortal world. If it wasn't for Huai Yue who gave me food and clothing, taught me how to read and write, taught me how to be a person, and taught me absolute arts, I would never have become the current City Lord Min. "
Min Wentian was extremely grateful towards the food that Shang Huaiyue had fed him and the way he raised Huai Yue, "I have long seen Huai Yue as my blood sister and for all these years, I have been searching for the whereabouts of Huai Yue. I do not believe that Huai Yue passed away in childbirth like this. Furthermore, the Miss Xie is so similar to Huai Yue, how could I not recognize him? "
"How do we know if you're telling the truth or not?" Xuanyuan Chen lightly took a sip, and said indifferently.
"This …" Min Wentian was stunned on the spot, as if he did not know how to explain, he could only swear with his poison, "If I had even half a sentence, I would have died a horrible death."
