The two officials pulled out their sharp swords. Seeing that the soft swords won’t work, they could only use the hard ones. In any case, they had to take people away before he could speak.

If they can’t take the people away, then they could only take his life.

One of the guards fought with the shadow guards, while the other pounced on Master Guan. He slashed the sharp sword at Master Guan with full of force.

Bai Zhi exclaimed, she wanted to take something to block the sword, but there was nothing useful by her side at this time.

Just at the critical moment, a finger size jade popped out from nowhere, and the long knife that was slashed towards Master Guan missed and cut an empty place.

The officer raised the knife again, but at this time, the shadow guard beside Bai Zhi had already freed his hand. He kicked the officer’s belly until he retreated a few steps.

Dongfang Mu and Hu Feng entered from the outside. Dongfang Mu’s thumb was empty. He had just used the jade ring on his thumb for a long time. At this time, he doesn’t have anything in his hand.

Seeing Dongfang Mu and Hu Feng arrived, the two officials became more anxious. They can’t kill the people, nor escape. They only have one choice left.

Bai Zhi quickly shouted: “Block their mouths, don’t let them bite poison.”

It’s just, it was too late. One of the officials already fell on the floor, while the other one was stunned by Hu Feng. The shadow guard immediately took a cloth towel and stuffed it into the official’s mouth, and then used a long needle to pick out the poison pill.

Dongfang Mu coldly snorted: “Take it away and watch it carefully, don’t let him die.”

When the person was dragged away, Hu Feng checked the exquisite sword of the dead officer. The sword was not the same as the one commonly used in Chu Country. It looked like a sword from Jin Country.

Hu Feng said: “How about these two people’s accents?”

Bai Zhi thought for a while and said: “It’s different from the people in the capital. Their accent is like from the people in the south.”

Hu Feng nodded: “The south, the Kingdom of Jin is in the south.”

Dongfang Mu also said: “I think their martial art skills also resembled the style of Jin Country.”

Hu Feng asked: “Why do they pretend to be people from the Yamen? What do they want to do to Master Guan?”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “I don’t know what exactly they want to do. But I guess they were afraid of what Master Guan would say when he woke up. They originally wanted to take Master Guan away, but when they got here, their purpose chance and they wanted to silence him. I guess Master Guan knows something he shouldn’t know.”

Dongfang Mu had a doubt: “In this case, why didn’t they kill Master Guan earlier? Why do they have to wait until now?”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “I don’t know, but I guess it’s because Master Guan is still useful to them. They are not willing to kill him, so they keep his life, but now they have to kill him again. They are afraid that Master Guan will be exposed to their secrets.”

Hu Feng nodded his head: “Yes, they choose Luan Hall. I’m afraid it’s not just for money, there must be something else.”

“In the capital, there are many businesses that can make money, why chose Luan Hall? It’s because it is the largest pharmacy shop in the capital. I heard that some medicinal materials can only be sold in Luan Hall. The other shops can’t have it.”

Bai Zhi added: “Let’s think about it together. I guess these people must be doing something in Luan Hall secretly.”

And Master Guan happened to know about this. They kept Master Guan’s life because he still has other uses, but they didn’t expect that Bai Zhi would discover it and things became like this now.

Hu Feng said: “I will send someone to investigate and see what’s happening in Luan Hall recently.”

Bai Zhi said: “Don’t only check what happened in Luan Hall recently, but also to check people who have been in Luan Hall, including the people who bought medicines in the pharmacy. As long as they have contact with the Luan Hall, they must not be left behind.”
