"Fortunately, there's a lot of them." Chen Ergou replied.

"That's good." Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief, his tone sounding a little angry and resentful, "Previously, I did not succeed in my sneak attack, and now you want me to do it again, you must be tired of living. If you don't show your might, you might as well be this old man's sick cat!"

Wasn't he supposed to be a sick cat? But if they were slightly afraid of Lin Mo, how could they act against all of them?

Chen Mu Mu Mu was somewhat amused, but before he could speak, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the darkness towards them.

Chen Mu Mu took a closer look and estimated that there were around forty to fifty people here.

A strange expression appeared on his face. Could it be that this group of people had occupied all of the inns?

After all, it was impossible for so many people to be wandering outside. The shopkeeper didn't care and could only occupy the guest rooms of this inn.

No wonder when they came, the shopkeeper said there weren't that many rooms left.

As he thought about it, the men were already lunging at them.

Ning Yuan and Lin Mo were the experts amongst them, so naturally, they took the lead and ran out to fight.

"Chen Mu Mu, protect my mother." Lu Jinfeng protected the female servant and Xiao Mao behind him, and said coldly.

"Don't worry, I'm watching." He placed the Madam Li between her and Lu Jinfeng.

There were so many people, and it was also night time. The chaotic battle could not be stopped for a long time.

The sound of weapons clanging rang in the inn, along with a lot of screams. In the end, everyone in the inn woke up from their quarrels.

But the ordinary tenants who were awake did not dare to care about such matters. After glancing at the door a few times, they ran back to their rooms.

Except Qin Tianshui.

"Little girl, what do you think? Am I the most reliable one?"

After leaping down from the second floor and sending several people flying with each kick, Qin Tiansei approached Chen Mu Mu with a smile on his face.

Qin Tiansei himself seemed to have a spark of light that could easily be recognized even at night.

"If you're reliable, can you only come out now?" Chen Mu Mu Mu glared at him in annoyance, "The outcome of the battle is about to be decided. Coming over here now, are you here to see if we're all dead?"

"Girl, I won't be happy if you say that." Qin Tianshui shrugged. "When you were attacked by the assassins, we were also entangled by them. Not to mention that I still have two hands that could hold a chicken back."

"Then why are you still coming out?" Chen Mu Mu really wanted to roll his eyes at him. With such a small helping hand, it really made him uncomfortable. "Currently, you're not afraid of others capturing your mother and sister. You should know that they are much more precious than us elders."

"It's all the same." Qin Tiansei giggled as he waved his folding fan in a very graceful manner. He then pointed to the front, "The rescue team is here."

Chen Mu Mu Mu raised her head to look. In the darkness of the night, all she could see was an arc of light as the ice blades met.

"I can't see anything."

There was no other way. If his eyesight was too poor, it would be a hard wound.

"You usually can't tell, but it turns out you're blind?" Qin Tianshui said with a heavy tone of ridicule.

The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth twitched as he shot a cold glance at Qin Tianshui, "Qin Tianshui, don't force me to beat you up this late at night."

Even though he was a prince, this person's way of doing things really made it difficult for people to respect him.

Qin Tiansei wasn't annoyed at all. He kicked the two black-clothed men who approached quietly, smiling mischievously as he said, "Don't be like this. After all, we are on the same boat. If there are outsiders eyeing us covetously, then we don't want internal strife."

As if she'd be happy to pick him up.

Madam Li probably thought that Qin Tian Chen's words were reasonable. He grabbed Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu and said, "Young Master Qin has no ill intentions towards us, moreover, you are willing to come out and help us at this time is extremely rare. Don't get mad at Young Master Qin, think about how to beat these bad guys up and run away."

Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyebrows twitched, she was truly angered by Madam Li.

After all, they said her arms shouldn't be turned outwards, but she did it very smoothly. If it wasn't because of the situation and her status didn't allow it, she really wanted to throw Madam Li out to wake her up.

While they were talking, the commotion in front gradually died down. The shopkeeper, who had long been attracted by the sounds of fighting, clapped his hands and went out to light the candles in the hall on the first floor.

In an instant, the entire first floor was brightly lit, as though it was daytime.

Seeing the pile of black clothed people and the mess on the ground, the shopkeeper's face immediately turned bitter, "What should I do now? Dead people, and I even lost so many things."

"Master." The four bodyguards who helped Lu Jinfeng and the rest fight brought a man to Qin Tiantai and said respectfully, "Just now we saw the black clothed men tightly protecting this man, I believe he is the leader of this group of assassins."

"Well done."

Qin Tiansei opened his folding fan, looking with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes as he looked at the man kneeling on the ground. He slightly narrowed his eyes and said, "So it was you who caused all these trouble today. Lift your head up and let me see what you look like, did you eat the heart of a bear or the heart of a leopard, or did you eat something that even I dared to do."

That person was not wearing night clothes nor was there a mask on his face. His clothes looked quite good and after being caught, he kept his head down without saying a word.

He naturally heard Qin Tianshui's words, but he still remained silent.

"You're still so stubborn even at a time like this? My temper isn't that good." Qin Tiansei retracted his folding fan and said to the guard, "Lift up his face for me. Such a daring assassin! If we don't see what he looks like, it's a complete waste of heaven's treasures!"

Was the idiom "to waste a treasure" used like this? To think that he is still a prince. How many years has he been studying for?

The corner of Chen Mu's eyebrows twitched as he glanced at Qin Tianshui with a bit of contempt.

Qin Tianshui was still giggling. He turned a blind eye to her contempt as he stared at the people on the ground.

The imperial bodyguard naturally wouldn't disobey Qin Tiansei's orders. Regardless of whether the man was willing or not, his face had been lifted up by the imperial bodyguard.

Seeing his facial features, the people present couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise.

"It's you." A complicated look flashed through Qin Tianli's eyes as he shook his head, "There's no cure."

Chen Mu Mu didn't know what he was thinking, but when she saw the man's appearance, she felt a sense of helplessness in her heart.

"Shen Tianba, you really make me speechless!"

That's right, this person was the eldest son of the Linzhou Prefect, Shen Tianba.

Lin Mo explained Shen Tianba's identity to the rest, making everyone's face twitch.

They didn't have any deep grudges against him. They had already reached the foot of the capital, and this fellow was still trying to kill them. Was he crazy?

Furthermore, he wanted Chen Mu Mu and the rest to live, so it wasn't that big of a deal. After all, they were rural people who had run away from the countryside, and in the ancient times, their lives were nothing more than weeds.

However, Qin Tianshui was the son of a royal son, and a member of the royal clan. In this era, there were nine families that had plotted murder for their prince.

Was Shen Tianba's head kicked by a donkey, or was he whipped? Did he dare to do such a thing?

This was a rare occasion for the Madam Li to act so domineeringly. He knew that Shen Tianba did not avoid his identity, and rushed forward instead, unceremoniously slapping him twice.

"You crazy beast, we didn't offend you, why are you pursuing us relentlessly, you must take our lives!"

"So what if he's the Prefect's son? Can he disregard human life?" Your life is your life, our lives are not! "

"If it weren't for Young Master Qin's help, we would have been killed by you today. I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard!"

Although Madam Li was usually gentle and virtuous, she grew up in the countryside, and was occasionally provoked by the two venomous tongued women, Madam Niu and Madam Luo.

Beating, kicking and cursing, almost kicking Shen Tianba to death.

"Old witch!" Shen Tianba did not want to be outdone and scolded back, his hands and feet were firmly held down by Qin Tian Yao's men, he could only helplessly get kicked and beaten by Madam Li. With scarlet eyes, he glared at him with resentment, "You dare hit me like that today.

"If you can't kill me today, I'll kill you first!" Seeing that he still dared to threaten her, the Madam Li huffed and puffed as he stomped on her again.

"Stop fighting." Qin Tianshui could not bear to see this, so he pulled Madam Li's arm and said, "Aunty, things have yet to be clear. It's not good to beat someone up like this."

"Why didn't he ask? He was the one who sent the men to kill us. It was just that we were lucky enough to survive!" The Madam Li said angrily.

"Hur hur." Qin Tianshui folded his fan to cover his face. A complicated look flashed across his face, but he still tried to persuade her. "Aunty, even if he did, it's not our place to punish him. If he kills someone, the government won't be able to do anything about it."

"Humph!" Madam Li did not have much courage to begin with.

Shen Tianba stared at the Madam Li with venomous eyes for a good while, until suddenly he landed on Chen Mu Mu Mu's body, and laughed coldly: "You woman, your dog life is quite big."

What was a life of a dog? Could it be that in his eyes, only his life was a human's and the lives of others were cheap?

Chen Mu Mu snorted on the spot and rolled his eyes, "Shen Tianba, you are really an unreasonable person. Speaking of which, you and I do not have any deep grudges, but as for chasing after me relentlessly, the Son of Heaven committing the same crime as the commoners, don't you know that even if you were to kill all of us, you would not be able to survive?"

"You don't have a deep grudge against me?" Shen Tianba seemed to have heard something extremely funny as he glared at her fiercely. "Chen Mu Mu Mu, you killed my beloved concubine, and you say that you don't have any deep grudges with me?

Love concubines? Killed?

Hearing Shen Tianba's words, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu suddenly thought of Lin Qiu'er and her daughter, and the corner of his mouth twitched, he looked at Shen Tianba in disbelief.

"It can't be, right? It's precisely because of Lin Qiu'er that you're taking revenge on me?"

This was too rare, someone actually chased an innocent person to such an extent for the sake of a concubine.

A woman like Lin Qiu'er, there was actually someone that was dead set on loving her?!

"Shen Tianba, do you know that I never took the initiative to provoke Lin Qiu'er? It was only because she wanted my life that I retaliated!"
