“Got it. You can go down first.” The clouds came from the sea.

The bailiff said yes and hurriedly left.

Yun Zihai came to the door and opened it.

It was dark outside, but when he opened the door, a ray of starlight shone in the night sky.

A long sword with the reflection of moonlight cut through the night sky and headed straight for Yun Zihai’s neck.

The person holding the longsword was dressed in black. Even his face and head were covered with a black cloth.

The sword was fast and silent.

If not for the reflection of the moon, the sword would not have been visible.

“Clang! ”

A crisp sound of collision rang out.

A piece of paper covered the tip of the sword. On the paper was an article.

This sword was extremely sharp, and it could even break a hair. However, after being wrapped by the paper, it seemed to lose its strength and stopped in mid-air.

Yun Zihai smiled.” I thought you would arrive very early. But you’re only here now. I’m really disappointed.’”‘

Hearing this, Yun Zihai seemed to have expected this day to come.

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clothed man raised his empty left hand and a series of hidden weapons attacked Yun Zihai’s face.

Behind Yun Zihai, pages appeared.

The book spun in the air, catching all the hidden weapons.

Immediately after, the word ” suppress ” floated up from the page and landed on the forehead of the man in black.

“Clang! ”

With a crisp sound, the longsword in the black-clothed man’s hand fell to the ground. Above his head, a word “Suppress” floated.

Yun Zihai stepped forward and unveiled the mask of the man in black, revealing an ordinary face.

“Tell me where you came from.”

The man in black did not speak, but his face changed.

His face turned from normal to purple. In the blink of an eye, blood flowed out of the black-clothed man’s mouth. The black-clothed man had already lost his life.

“Poison?” Yun Zihai frowned.

Their fight naturally attracted attention.

Some of the bailiffs who had stayed behind in the county government ran out and saw the corpse of the black-clothed man in front of them. They shouted that there was an assassin and surrounded Yun Zihai in the middle.

Yun Zihai waved his hand and asked the bailiffs to deal with the corpse. He fell into deep thought.

He recalled what had just happened.

The soundless sword was specialized in assassination, and in the end, the assassination failed, and he committed suicide by taking poison.

This series of actions appeared very professional.

Thinking of this, Yun Zihai called over a bailiff and instructed,””Spread the news of this official being assassinated. Let the people of Sheng County know that this official is injured.”

The bailiff was stunned. Although he did not understand why he had to do this, he still nodded and left quickly after agreeing.

After the bailiff left, Yun Zihai returned to his residence.

Since he said that he was injured, he would not visit the county for the time being.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the ground, Shengxian County turned from quiet to noisy.

All kinds of vendors began to set up stalls, and the deserted streets gradually became filled with people. The existence of people added a lot of noise to the county.

Today’s promotion of the county had a different atmosphere, especially the news that surprised all the people.

On the first day of the county magistrate’s appointment, he was assassinated by an assassin and suffered serious injuries.

The moment this news spread, it was like a fermented dough that was constantly expanding, and the speed of transmission was getting further and further.

More and more people knew about this. Other than being surprised, they were mostly silent.

This was different from the major events that had happened before. The main character of the major events had already died. However, now that the county magistrate was still alive, they did not dare to casually talk about this matter.

Of course, when Yun Zihai intentionally released the news, even if the people did not talk about it, the news seemed to have grown legs. In an instant, it was like a gust of wind that blew through the entire county city.

The news spread further and further until a messenger pigeon landed at the entrance of the Yin Posthouse.

The old postmaster bent down and picked up the pigeon. He removed the paper tied to the pigeon’s leg and opened it.

The Yin Posthouse also needed information. They would not isolate themselves from the world and needed information more than ever.

After all, the Yin Posthouse itself was a transportation hub.

“The county magistrate was assassinated?” The old postmaster was stunned. After he recovered, he turned his gaze to Xu Bai, who was sitting beside the giant tree.

Early this morning, Xu Bai sat in front of the giant tree without moving, as if he was thinking about life.

The old postmaster felt that Xu Bai would be interested in this piece of news, so he walked over and handed the piece of news to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai was still reading the progress bar, but when he saw the old village chief’s actions, he subconsciously caught it.

He opened the letter in front of him. When he saw the contents of the letter, he frowned.

“The County Magistrate was assassinated and failed?”Xu Bai muttered to himself.

This news was really unexpected.

Xu Bai knew very well who the county magistrate was.

He was a genius scholar from the Qingyun Academy and Liu Xu’s senior brother. Since he came to Sheng County with this identity, he had always thought that there must be an abnormal reason.

Even though Liu Xu had said that it was because Yun Zihai had killed the prince, there was something fishy about it. Xu Bai had been pondering about it.

According to the rules of the Great Chu State, even if he was tortured, he could still be made an official. It seemed like a punishment, but Xu Bai felt that this punishment was not severe enough.

Not long after he arrived in Sheng County, he was assassinated. Now, it seemed that Xu Bai was right.

“Do you want to take a look?” The old postmaster asked. Xu Bai returned the note in his hand and shook his head.””No This matter had nothing to do with him. He had only met Yun Zihai once, so it would be a little far-fetched for him to go over..
