Fen Mo watched for a while, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "But, the one who tried to assassinate Tuli Yang wasn’t Suo Lun."
Tuli Men was shocked, scoffed, and said, "You still want to keep secrets from a dying man like me? Ridiculous!"
Fen Mo waved his hand, and immediately all the assassins behind him lifted their masks.
Tuli Men was taken aback, because some of the samurai looked very familiar. There were trusted samurai from the Turing Clan, and there were also skilled eunuch warriors from Prince Zhi Li’s Mansion.
Among them, standing right behind Fen Mo, was none other than Zhi Li’s trusted eunuch, Li Zhu, right?
It must have been hard on him, having his ribs kicked in by Zhi Li, yet still having to come out and play the assassin. But there was no choice, the matter was too secretive, and only the most loyal and reliable people could be used.
Samurai leader Tuli Men was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and couldn’t believe his own eyes, his voice trembling, he said, "What, what’s going on?"
Fen Mo said, "It’s quite clear, the one who tried to kill your young master was none other than Turing Duo, whom you were desperately protecting."
Tuli Men felt his guts wrench. The Lady Turing Duo, who had just shown such greatness, ready to die for her husband, Tuli Yang, by taking an arrow for him, was so venomous? She was the one pulling the strings behind this assassination?
Tuli Men shook his head desperately, saying, "I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it... Ah... Ah..."
Then, he emitted a series of agonizing howls.
Of course, he believed it, the truth before his eyes left him no choice but to believe.
For this venomous woman, he had led two hundred loyal family samurai to cover the retreat. He thought he had died a worthy death, but it turned out to be a burial sacrifice for this woman’s plot.
Clearly, after this venomous woman returned to the royal city, she would surely point all the blame at Suo Lun.
The public assassination of a feudal lord of the kingdom out of personal vengeance was simply outrageous!
Such behavior would throw all the feudal lords into fear and trepidation. If Suo Lun could assassinate Tuli Yang today, he could assassinate any other lord tomorrow.
This course of action would surely cause public outrage, uniting all against a common enemy, and when the time came for Zhi Li to lead the feudal lords in an assault on Suo Lun, a million-strong army attacking the Southeast Province would be inevitable.
Such a good scheme, a truly venomous plot!
"May you never rest in peace, none of you will rest in peace, the Turing Clan will not rest in peace, Zhi Li will not rest in peace!" Samurai leader Tuli Men screamed desperately.
Fen Mo produced a dagger that glittered with a ghostly blue light, obviously poisoned.
"It must be hard, and very painful," Fen Mo said. "You should thank me, for letting you know these secrets before dying, so you won’t die confused."
Then, Fen Mo’s dagger plunged sharply into Tuli Men’s heart.
Tuli Men convulsed and shivered, then emitted meaningless sounds and slowly fell to the ground.
"Alright, it’s done," Fen Mo said to Li Zhu and the others behind him. "You may return to report."
Then, Fen Mo picked up Tuli Yang and headed towards the edge of Black Crow Valley. Below the cliff, hundreds of meters down, raged the torrential river waters.
According to the plan, he was supposed to throw Tuli Yang off here, to destroy the body and erase all traces.
However, Li Zhu and the others didn’t leave, but instead formed a semi-circle and gradually closed in.
Fen Mo’s expression changed, he asked, "What’s the meaning of this? What are you doing?"
Li Zhu said coldly, "My master and Lady Turing Duo both feel that Lord Fen Mo knows too much, and it’s inconvenient for you to live in this world any longer. So, we’re here to send you on your way, Lord Fen Mo!"
Fen Mo was horrified, at first in complete disbelief, shouted hoarsely, "Turing Duo, she, is she not my half-sister from the same father?"
Li Zhu replied, "You, an illegitimate son, also qualify to be her brother? Of course, I’m not the one saying this; it’s Lady Turing Duo who said it herself."
"Hahaha..." Fen Mo let out a harrowing laugh and said, "Truly ruthless, truly ruthless... Turing Duo, you will not die a good death!"
Then, holding Tuli Yang, Fen Mo violently jumped off the hundreds of meters high cliff.
Li Zhu pulled out a hidden weapon and launched it at Fen Mo’s back.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..." More than a dozen poisoned needles, all shot into Fen Mo’s back.
They were hidden weapons from the Demon Continent, coated with deadly poison, causing instant death upon contact!
More than a dozen poisoned needles, all shot into Fen Mo’s body, leaving no doubt of his death!
Watching as Fen Mo and Tuli Yang’s bodies kept falling, and finally crashed into the tumultuous river below, disappearing without a trace.
"Let’s go, return to fulfill our duty!" said Li Zhu.
Then, he led the several dozen assassins away.
A quarter of an hour later!
Fen Mo, holding Tuli Yang, burst out of the water and climbed onto the dense riverbank.
He quickly took out a bottle of medicine, and poured it into Tuli Yang’s mouth.
Soon, Tuli Yang’s complexion restored its rosiness, and his heartbeat and breathing returned.
Fen Mo picked him up and dashed towards the nearest secret base to Tianshui City.
