I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

The assassin glanced at Lin Changshou, took out a black token with the words "Wu Ma" written on it, and thrust it in front of Prefect Wang.

"Seeing the token is like seeing the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family. Please come to the mansion to have a chat with the prefect, Wang."

When Prefect Wang saw the token, he was slightly startled, and immediately a look of panic appeared on his face.

"So you are from the Wu Ma family. I am so sorry for your disrespect."

"I wonder why your master wants to see me?"

Wow, he has a lot of spies. They came to his door as soon as he got back.

Isn’t the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family dead? Why is he still pretending to be important?

Bah~!

Who are you trying to scare?

The assassin frowned and said, "You'll know when you get there."

What master, master? Shi Qiang is worthy of being his master.

However, he was not in a position to say openly that he was using the Wu Ma family token to coax Prefect Wang to meet Shi Qiang.

"So.....ah..."

Prefect Wang clasped his hands.

"It's just that I just came back, and I'm exhausted. I'm afraid it's not respectful to meet your master. I'll go meet your master after I wash myself up."

Seeing the constipated look on the assassin's face, Magistrate Wang felt secretly happy and he wished that every sentence he said could be replaced with the four words "your master".

He already knew that these assassins came with Shi Qiang. The assassins of the Wu Ma family were very arrogant, so how could they be willing to listen to Shi Qiang, who was their master?

The assassin glanced at Magistrate Wang impatiently, "No need to wash up, this is urgent, please move now, Magistrate Wang."

"This..." Prefect Wang frowned slightly in embarrassment, then sighed helplessly.

"Ok."

After saying this, Magistrate Wang turned around and looked at the six yamen runners, pointing casually.

"You two follow me."

Lin Changshou and Cong Chongqiu, who were named, responded immediately and stood beside Magistrate Wang swiftly.

The assassin listened to the heavy footsteps of the two yamen runners and sneered.

There is no point in bringing two people with such poor martial arts skills.

After all, he is the governor of a city, but he doesn't even know how to keep two good men around him.

The Wu Ma family’s mansion is only a few steps away from the prefectural government office, which is also a reflection of the Wu Ma family’s power.

No matter which city they are in, the Wu Ma family’s mansions are all near the prefectural government office. Of course, there are also mansions of the Wu Ma family in the most prosperous places in a city.

.......

"Prefect Wang has arrived."

The assassin opened Shi Qiang's door and looked at Shi Qiang lying on the bed with a cold gaze.

"So fast!" Shi Qiang looked towards the door in surprise and pulled the quilt around him.

In this horrible weather, the cold wind blew straight at him as soon as the door was opened.

Ever since he was injured, he has been particularly afraid of cold and would shiver all over after being outside for a while.

The assassin resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said coldly, "Let someone in now?"

Shi Qiang pursed his cracked lips.

"He brought someone with him?"

"I brought two yamen runners."

"....." Shi Qiang frowned, "How good are the martial arts of those two yamen runners?"

"Ordinary people."

Shi Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let Prefect Wang come in by himself."

The assassin looked at Shi Qiang like he was an idiot, "Do you think it's possible?"

After all, he is the prefect of a city. It is a great honor for him to come and meet the Wu Ma family.

After all, they didn't say who from the Wu Ma family wanted to see Prefect Wang.

If it is the old patriarch, he naturally has the status to summon Magistrate Wang.

The side branches of the Wu Ma family still had to give some face to Prefect Wang.

He was too embarrassed to say that Shi Qiang, a mere man who hadn't even officially taken over the military camp, wanted to force the prefect of a city to retreat again and again.

Besides, the two yamen runners walked so heavily and their martial arts skills were very poor, so he didn't take them seriously at all.

"......" Shi Qiang was so choked that he wanted to curse, but he had no choice but to stay under the eaves.

"Okay, call the people in."

"Oh, right." When the assassin was about to turn around and go out to call for help, Shi Qiang quickly added,

"Call in a few more assassins. Magistrate Wang and Cong Chongqiu have some friendship, so we still have to be on guard."

His heart was pounding and he always felt uneasy.

He feels safer with more assassins guarding him.

Wasn't it because the old patriarch was too confident that he let his assassins leave the camp, which gave Cong Chongqiu the opportunity to take advantage of?

This time, no matter who he meets, he will bring his death warriors with him and will never meet anyone alone.

His life can't withstand another blow.

The assassin paused and walked out of the room without saying a word.

A moment later, two assassins brought Magistrate Wang and two yamen runners into Shi Qiang's warm house.

The moment the group entered the room, Shi Qiang's eyes turned to the two yamen runners.

Seeing clearly that the two yamen runners were not from the military camp, he finally let go of his worry.

He didn't say that he knew everyone in the military camp, but he knew Cong Chongqiu's personal soldiers.

Apart from Cong Chongqiu who had some skills, there was no need for him to know the other ordinary soldiers.

As soon as Magistrate Wang stepped into the room, a trace of anger rose on his face. He frowned and looked at the assassin.

"I am here to meet your master out of respect for the Wu Ma family."

"But, this person doesn't seem to be your master, right?"

"I wonder why you tricked me into coming here?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Changshou immediately drew his sword and stood in front of Magistrate Wang, staring at the assassin in front of him vigilantly.

Magistrate Wang almost couldn't suppress the smile on his face as he looked at Lin Changshou, who was so cooperative with him in his acting.

cool!

No wonder he is the person that the Queen values ​​the most. He is indeed a pleasure to use.

It’s not like Cong Chongqiu stood behind him like a big fool, not understanding what he meant for a long time.

If only Cong Chongqiu was brought here, he would probably be slashed on the neck and blood would splatter on Cong's face before that guy could react.

The assassin's face froze slightly, and he looked at Shi Qiang, who was afraid of freezing to death and refused to get out of bed.

You should say something.

Didn't you call this person here?

"Ahem!" Shi Qiang received the complaining look from the assassin and cleared his throat quickly.

"Sir Wang, this general invited you here."

"General!" Magistrate Wang turned and looked at Shi Qiang with a puzzled look, "Which general are you?"

At this moment, Shi Qiang really did not look like a general at all.

The more than half a month of recuperation made him very haggard. Not only did he have an untidy beard, but he also had a messy hair on his head and sunken eye sockets.

If he went to the military camp like this, probably few people would recognize him. It was normal that Magistrate Wang, who had no relationship with him, would not recognize him.

Shi Qiang pulled the corner of his lips and raised his hand to tidy up his messy hair.

"I am Shi Qiang, the Great General of the Cavalry."

He was afraid that Cong Chongqiu would find out before his injury healed, so he made himself look like this.

The main reason was that the place where he was recuperating was too close to Crescent City, so he had to be on guard.

"General Shi!?" Prefect Wang widened his eyes in shock and took a few steps towards the bed.

The moment Magistrate Wang moved his feet, Lin Changshou put away his knife and followed Magistrate Wang to the bed.
