133: a plan within a plan

Just at this moment.

Wang Yi had already led the soldiers to the entrance of the alley. The soldiers held their Sharp Weapons and immediately stepped forward.

"Commander, I feel like those people are right in this alley. What should we do now?" the soldiers said with grim expressions.

Wang Yi gasped, his face dark.

The Black-Clothed Assassins retreated one after another; they dared not stay any longer.

A moment later.

Those Black-Clothed Assassins vanished in an instant.

When Wang Yi brought the soldiers into the alley, there was no sign of anyone.

"Commander, there is no one here." The soldiers looked around, but they did not see a single soul.

The pitch-black alley was empty.

Not even a cat could be seen.

"Strange, there was clearly movement here just a moment ago!" Wang Yi's face was grim, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Just at this moment.

The Host, Lord Wang, strode forward and came to Wang Yi's side.

"Wang Yi, be careful! There are still assassins here!" The Host was extremely uneasy as he approached cautiously.

The assassins sent by the Gao Family were all there to kill the Host.

Yet, the Host had run forward at this very moment.

It was practically no different from throwing his life away.

However, fortunately, those Black-Clothed Assassins had already left the area, as they did not want to invite any more trouble.

The reason the Gao Family acted this way was to avoid exposure.

"Lord Wang, what exactly is going on?" Wang Yi frowned, gasped, and tried his best to calm down.

After a long while.

Wang Yi's face was dark as he raised his head and looked around.

"The Gao Family has made a move against me; they were all sent by the Gao Family!" The Host said with a grim face, his brows furrowed as he spoke.

The Host's expression was poor; after all, he had been hunted for so long.

It was clear that the Host was reaching his limit.

"Does the Gao Family truly have such audacity?" Wang Yi asked with a grim face and an expression of astonishment.

In Yizhou, the Gao Family indeed had some capabilities.

However, against the world-renowned Mulan Manor, would the Gao Family really dare to do this?

Were they truly not afraid that Mulan Manor would send an army straight to the Gao Family, turning it into a river of blood?

"But the Gao Family really did attack; they even wounded me. I can guarantee that those people from the Gao Family really wanted to kill me!" The Host revealed his wounds, his face grim, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Commander Wang, you must believe me!"

"I am truly not lying to you!"

"This is all true."

The Host was getting anxious; he had said these words, yet these people actually did not believe him.

However, on the other hand.

If these people were truly from the Gao Family, it was hard to believe that the Gao Family would take action to kill someone from Mulan Manor.

After all, in Yizhou, Mulan Manor still had its own personal troops.

"Lord Wang, do not be anxious. I believe everything you have said, but I want to tell you that this is not the place to talk. We should head to the manor first!" Wang Yi said with a grim face, gasping as he tried to calm himself down.

Wang Yi prepared to quickly inform Li Changfeng about the Gao Family's attack on Mulan Manor.

Of course, Wang Yi had even more important things to do; after all, Li Changfeng had not yet obtained something.

That was the Seven-Colored Powder that could save lives.

If Li Changfeng did not obtain the Seven-Colored Powder, he would not help him!

Wang Yi did not want things to continue like this; it would not benefit him in the slightest.

"Alright, Commander Wang, you are indeed more thoughtful." The Host nodded vigorously.

Just a moment ago, the Host had experienced such a scene, and he had already been terrified beyond measure.

But now, the Host just wanted to have a good sleep and then eat something.

This night had been just like a dream.

So much had happened that the Host found it hard to accept.

"Someone come! Escort Lord Wang back to the manor!" Wang Yi stood up and gave the order.

"Yes, Commander." The soldiers immediately strode forward, cupping their fists in a respectful manner.

The soldiers did not show the slightest hesitation regarding Wang Yi's words.

"This way, please, Lord Wang." The soldiers extended their hands, making a gesture of invitation.

The Host nodded first, looking somewhat fearful.

It was understandable.

After all, being hunted down—if it had been anyone else, they would have likely been scared to death.

How could they still be this spirited?

"Alright, alright, let's go." The Host nodded and followed behind the soldiers.

However, just as the Host had taken two steps, he suddenly turned back.

The Host was a bit curious; he looked at Wang Yi with a strange expression.

"Commander Wang, what about you? Are you not coming back with us?" the Host asked curiously.

It was so late, yet Wang Yi still wanted to remain outside.

What urgent matter could there possibly be?

Was escorting a dignitary of Mulan Manor back not a more important matter?

But looking at Wang Yi's demeanor, he seemed prepared to let these soldiers handle it.

"Lord Wang, I need to make a trip to the Auction House to inform Mulan Manor about this matter." Wang Yi was slightly stunned at first, then he forced himself to calm down.

After a long while, Wang Yi composed himself. Of course, this was just something he had made up.

In reality, Wang Yi wanted to tell Li Changfeng about this.

At the same time, there was an even more important matter!

That was to get the Seven-Colored Powder.

Of course, Wang Yi saying he was going to the Auction House was fine, but he was not going to deliver a message; he was going to retrieve something.

"Alright, Commander Wang, you must be very careful. I don't know if those assassins have left yet, so please be sure to watch your safety!" The Host kindly reminded him.

Just a moment ago, the Host had experienced the methods of those assassins.

Had the Host not been lucky, he would have been killed by a woman's sword just now.

The Host gasped, trying his best to calm down.

In this situation, there was nothing else to do.

"Rest assured. Hurry and escort Lord Wang back; you must protect him thoroughly!" Wang Yi said with a grim face.

"Yes, Commander!" The soldiers performed a respectful salute.

Immediately after.

The soldiers shielded the Host in the middle, and the group headed straight for the Mulan Manor branch.

The Host looked around and, upon seeing patrol soldiers everywhere on the Long Street, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how bold the Gao Family was, they would not dare to kill people on the Long Street.

"Finally, I am safe." The Host let out a long sigh, looking somewhat exhausted.

He really did not know what those people from the Gao Family were thinking.

This was truly a troublesome affair.

Wang Yi stood where he was, watching the backs of the soldiers and the Host as they left, the corner of his mouth curling into a smirk.

In truth, the life or death of the people from Mulan Manor had nothing to do with Wang Yi.

After all, once the messenger from Mulan Manor arrived, Wang Yi would be killed.
