The plot had been attacked by Jing Ke and Pang Wen, and had been defeated. The headquarters had been scattered in chaos, with only a few people following him south to the banks of the Hulu River. Only after seeing that there were no more pursuers, did Xin Xin finally stop his horse in his tracks, ordering the entire army to stop and rest for the time being. Unexpectedly, when he looked down from behind, he discovered that there were only a few hundred people following him, and it was no longer the same majestic group of people as before.

When they saw these battered and exhausted remnants of the family, their hearts were filled with grief. They could not help but feel extremely humiliated and indignant when they recalled the scene when they boasted about themselves in front of the Yan King. It was only now that he realized how foolish he had been to be manipulated. He suddenly felt ashamed. Just as he was about to kowtow and apologize to the soldiers behind him, someone in the air suddenly laughed out loud, "General Xin, you did well this time. Your son will definitely reward you well."

The voice that sounded full of treachery and mockery sounded familiar, and he immediately guessed who it was. He then turned to the messenger behind him and coldly replied, "Why is the messenger from the Residence of Deep Black like a wild dog?" Now that he was faced with such an unforeseen event, he could only think about it from afar. It was all thanks to the people of the Deep Black Residence that he had dragged the lives of so many of the Yan Clan's soldiers into this.

As expected, when the person heard him speak ill of himself, he became furious and immediately raised his cold eyebrows and shouted, "Kill! Don't let any of them escape! "

Just as he finished speaking, dozens of disciples of the Deep Black Residence, dressed in black, rushed out from behind him. These people were all cold-faced assassins that the Deep Sea Ink Residence had meticulously trained. The blade and sword in their hands flashed like lightning, and each of their moves were like vital points such as the throat, heart, and forehead. In just a few moments, they had all heard a miserable scream, and hundreds of soldiers had already perished under their swords.

Looking at his subordinates being brutally murdered, Tu Xin could not help them. He could only run back and forth next to the fallen soldiers in grief. He kept shouting, "Stop!" However, these cold-faced and cold-hearted assassins only listened to the order given by the person in front of them. How could they listen to him plead for mercy? As his hand raised and the knife fell, all the soldiers that had escaped here became ghosts.

"Puff, puff!" Fresh blood spurted out from the blade, dyeing the bodies of those assassins bright red. Similarly, the plot that was like a lonely ghost in the crowd was dyed bloody by the blood of these brothers. Endless helplessness caused him to feel grief and despair. When his rage reached its limit, it would erupt like a volcano. He pulled out the sword in his hand and gathered all the grief and anger in his body onto the sword blade. Then, he slashed at the devil in front of him who was giving the order to kill.

However, how could he possibly pose a threat to this person with his little ability? That person's body slightly swayed, and easily dodged the life threatening attack. When the assassins under him saw their master being threatened like this, they immediately used their killing moves. They were aiming straight at the main character and could pierce more than ten transparent holes on his body in an instant.

However, at this time, that person suddenly shouted, "Stop!" The assassins didn't dare to disobey the order and immediately retracted their sword moves. When they retracted their moves, they were only three steps away from the core. They had already surrounded it in a circle.

He had originally thought that he would die for sure, but now, that person had ordered everyone to spare his life. He was rather surprised. But at that very instant, he didn't care about that person's kindness at all. He indifferently asked him, "Why didn't you kill me?"

Heh heh, it's as easy as crushing an ant to death if I want to take your life. It's just that Zi Zun does not have the orders to take your life. Perhaps, he feels that there's still some use in letting a dog like you live in the future. That person's reply was similarly indifferent, as if the person in front of him didn't exist at all.

After the man finished speaking, he lightly patted the dust on his shoulder, and a hint of disdain appeared on his face. It was probably because he loathed the dust around him when he had tried to pull out his sword. After the filming was done, he said to the assassins, "Let's go. We still need to report back."

When everyone heard this, they immediately cupped their fists and respectfully replied, "Yes, Protector Yun."

The Hall Master Yun whom everyone referred to as Hall Master Yun was one of Taihang's most capable subordinates. Aside from being extremely obedient in front of Taihang, he had never placed anyone else in his eyes. As such, he was treated as an outsider and did not view him as a human being.

"Hahaha ?" Yun Xiao laughed maniacally as he walked further and further away, leaving behind the sound of the footsteps of the assassins.

After all of the people had left, the only person left in the cold wind who was still in a daze was General Xin, who was surrounded by the smell of blood. He suddenly felt nauseous as he looked at the corpses of the Yan Army soldiers lying on the ground. He suddenly felt that there was no meaning in living like this, so he immediately waved his sword towards his own neck and sighed sorrowfully towards the sky. With a "chi chi" sound, he slit his throat, twitched twice, and died.

There was a river of blood on the banks of the Hulu River, and not a single survivor could be found among the hundreds of people. It was truly a tragic sight. As the blood mist filled the air, the figure of a person appeared in this unbearable scene. This person kneeled in front of Xin Xin and said tearfully: "Brother Xin Xin, I didn't think that you would die without knowing who caused your death. How could you walk on the Road to River Styx safely? Free and Unrestrained Hero kowtowed to you to apologize! " After he finished speaking, he kowtowed towards the corpse and sat down cross-legged to the side, muttering to himself, "Ah, if I, Free and Unrestrained, had cultivated well in Mount Kunlun back then, would I have ended up in such a miserable state? Brother Xin, don't blame me for being evil and cunning. In this world where there is no path, if I don't scheme against others, I will definitely be tricked. You can only blame yourself for being too arrogant and stupid. " At this point, he couldn't help but shed a few tears. He lifted his sleeve to wipe away the bitter tears at the corner of his eyes. Then, he said, "Don't worry. In the future, if I am able to return to heaven, I will send someone to pay tribute to you. Rest in peace." After this person said this, he casually pulled out a tattered military uniform from the corpse of a nearby soldier, covered up his face, and bowed a few times. Then, he quietly left.

Under the assistance of Jing Ke and the others, Handan City was able to hold on to the upper hand and also break through the Yan Army, which made Pang Wen extremely happy. He immediately led Zhao Wang and Zhao Dong out to welcome Jing Ke and the rest. When Zhao Qian saw Jing Ke, he couldn't help but be astounded. If he looked carefully, this person was the white-clothed youth that caught the spies from the Qin Nation. However, he did not expect that the situation had changed. That white-clothed young man had already grown up to be a graceful and elegant hero.

When Jing Ke saw Zhao Qian, a strange feeling surged through his heart. It was because the foolish Sovereign King before him had wrongly accused his official, Li Mu, all those years ago, that his esteemed master had been implicated and died a tragic death. Therefore, when faced with Zhao Qian's face full of enthusiasm, he merely dealt with it a bit out of courtesy, and then bid farewell.

At night, for the sake of thanking Jing Ke and others who rushed over to help, Pang Wen personally went to their resting place, and paid a visit to express his gratitude.

At this time, Jing Ke was puzzled by what Xin Xin said, so when he heard someone lightly knock on the door lock, he immediately replied, "Please come in."

"This old man has come so late to bother Young Hero Jing, I hope Young Hero will forgive me." Pang Wen replied and entered. When he saw Jing Ke, he immediately cupped his hands together in apology.

"Old General Pang's words are too serious. I'm still in my room, so there's no need to disturb me." When Jing Ke saw that the one who entered was Pang Wen, he immediately returned the greeting with clasped hands.

"Fortunately, Young Hero has yet to rest. This old man's visit to thank you did not seem rude at all." Pang Wen revealed a smile, and respectfully thanked Jing Ke, "Today, if it weren't for Young Hero Jing's timely arrival, this old man would have died in Handan City, and this old man would have to thank Young Hero for the tens of thousands of soldiers and commoners of Handan City." Finished speaking, Pang Wen was about to kowtow to Jing Ke.

Jing Ke immediately supported Pang Wen, waving his hand and said, "Old General, what are you saying, saving people from danger is the purpose of our Mo family, moreover, General Sima and this humble one are brothers in life and death, he has entrusted this task to me, Jing Ke, as a mission that has not been fulfilled." After Jing Ke supported Pang Wen, he respectfully said to him, "Although Old General Pang is already old, when facing enemies on the battlefield, he's actually not the least bit inferior to a young tiger general. This truly is worthy of Jing Ke's admiration."

"Hahaha, Young Hero Jing, you flatter this old man. This old man has heard that the General Li Mu from the State of Zhao was close to the Mo family, and he lead hundreds of Mo family disciples to fight against an army of 300,000 by Wang Jian's side. This old man will protect and defend the city as if it's just twenty thousand men and women, what's there to worry about? " Hearing Jing Ke praise him like this, Pang Wen immediately laughed out loud.

Unexpectedly, Pang Wen's casual words actually aroused Jing Ke's concern, because Pang Wen had inadvertently mentioned his respected teacher. When he thought back to the time when his teacher used a few hundred people to obstruct the army of three hundred thousand and attacked Moke Manor, even though she didn't hesitate to drown the many years of the Mo family's business and wanted to perish together with Wang Jian, Jing Ke immediately felt a bit of grief.

Seeing Jing Ke's solemn and solemn expression, with a hint of sadness on his face, he thought that he had spoken wrongly just now, so he immediately asked in a low voice, "Just now, I forgot that the great senior is Young Hero's mentor, and made Young Hero think of the sad past. I hope Young Hero Jing can forgive me."

Jing Ke slightly shook his head, "This matter originally had nothing to do with senior, it's just that junior has thought too much and lost his composure."

"I hope Young Hero Jing will not be too sad about the past, otherwise, you will only be able to hurt yourself." Pang Wen lightly patted Jing Ke's shoulder, and then he said, "If Young Hero Jing hadn't sent someone to inform this old man in advance, telling this old man to be careful of the comeback, how would I, Pang Wen, have had the time to prepare defenses in advance?"

"Hmm? What did you say, old general? "You mean to say you received a letter from me?" Jing Ke suddenly heard Pang Wen's words, and was immediately shocked in his heart, as he hastily asked.

"Isn't it?" Seeing Jing Ke's puzzled expression, he was also greatly shocked, and immediately asked, "Three days ago, a person claiming to be a disciple of the Mo family came to my mansion and told me that Yan Guo would use the fake Dao Zhao as an excuse to sneak attack Zhao Du, and let me be on guard against him. Initially, I only felt skeptical. It was only when the border guards rushed into the Great Hall of Zhao to report this matter to the King of Zhao, that I completely believed their words. Therefore, I immediately wrote a letter asking for help from General Sima. I sent someone to send a message to the Valley of Correspondence, and then I set up a plan to delay the arrival of the troops, but I didn't expect you all to come to my aid so soon. " When Pang Wen said this, he felt a lingering fear in his heart. He was extremely thankful as he said, "This insignificant skill of mine has been seen through. If it weren't for Young Hero Jing's timely arrival, I'm afraid that Pang Zi would have been in trouble."

He muttered to himself, "General Pang sent someone to the Corridor to ask General Sima for help, but it's only been two days since then. Two days ago, we already received a letter from General Pang requesting help, and it will take at least two days for us to reach the Corridor Pass. Could it be that General Sima didn't receive the letter from General Pang?" However, if it wasn't from the old general, who would have sent it? "

Hearing Jing Ke's words, Pang Wen was also confused. He frowned and said, "You mean that you've received my request for help a long time ago?" Even if my messenger could fly, it would not be this fast. "

Jing Ke was silent. He recalled the day when Sima Shang and Xiong Quan had an argument in the Sixth Army's camp, as well as the expressions on everyone's faces. He suddenly cried out, "Not good!"

Seeing his sudden serious expression, Pang Wen's eyes revealed a sense of urgency as he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Young Hero Jing?"

"It seems like all of this was deliberately arranged by someone. Someone already knew that the movie would launch a surprise attack on Handan, so before he did, everyone wanted to inform Sima Shang and General Pang."

"From what you're saying, this person is here to help us?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, but I'm afraid he had already made the arrangements for the attack on Handan, which was why he was able to grasp the timing so accurately." Right now General Sima's army is on their way to Handan, the Six Paths Alliance has already gone to two roads, I am afraid something big is going to happen at the Corridor. " Jing Ke was worried, and said anxiously.

"Huh?" When Pang Wen heard Jing Ke's words, he couldn't help but also let out a cry of surprise.
