Chapter 516: Torturing Guo Huan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Guo Huan had come out of the Prime Minister’s Estate the night before. However, at that time, everyone did not know that he had escaped and only thought that he had gone out and not returned.

It was not until this morning that the capital magistrate realized that something was wrong. He immediately applied for a transfer order and invited the imperial guards and officials of the capital to search the entire city. He also sent people to guard the city gate and could not let Guo Huan slip out.

“Could it be that he already left the city last night?” the assistant asked in the government office.

When the Imperial Capital heard this, they telt that it made sense and sent another team of imperial guards out of the city to search.

At this moment, Guo Huan was actually hiding in Boss Lin’s gambling den in the capital.

Boss Lin closed the door and sat down beside Guo Huan. “Division Leader Guo, why are you hiding here? Don’t you know that my gambling den has long been targeted by the Imperial Court? The reason why they didn’t move is that they don’t have evidence, but aren’t you giving the Imperial Court something to use against us by sitting here? I… I still have to gather information for the Sect Master!”

Guo Huan said calmly, “My men are almost here. I’ll leave in a while.”

Boss Lin couldn’t chase him away anymore.

He looked at Guo Huan and sighed. “Division Leader Guo, you’ve really caused a huge trouble this time.”

Guo Huan said coldly, “You still have the cheek to criticize me? Someone pretended to be me and came to the gambling den. Didn’t the two of you tell him about the White Lotus Society’s plans?”

Boss Lin took a sip of tea guiltily. “Ahem, Division Leader Chen said it. I don’t know anything. The Sect Master’s orders didn’t reach me.”

Guo Huan snorted coldly.

Boss Lin pondered and said, “Speaking of which, why is Qin Canglan so tough? That knife is tempered with our White Lotus Society’s unique poison. There’s no medicine to cure it, but he actually survived it?”

Of course, he couldn’t criticize how Guo Huan’s technique. He couldn’t even stab the victim’s hearts accurately. Had he practiced his saber technique for nothing?

To be honest, Guo Huan was also very puzzled about Qin Canglan being able to survive.

However, it was useless to think too much. Qin Canglan had already come back to life. The only chance to assassinate him had been wasted. It would be even harder to assassinate Qin Canglan in the future.

An hour later, Guo Huan’s experts arrived. There were a total of four shadow guards.

In the White Lotus Society, shadow guards were also divided into levels.

The shadow guards who went to kill Su Li were junior shadow guards, and the four people beside Guo Huan were higher-level and middle-level shadow guards. If they escorted Guo Huan, they would ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Guo Huan disguised himself as an old merchant who was hauling two carts of satin out of the city.

Boss Lin had prepared this identity for him. The road passes and water passes had also been registered in the government office. The four experts were servants who had signed a death contract and their identities had been passed by the government office.

The group successfully left the city and headed south.

The sky gradually darkened.

What gave Guo Huan a headache was that there were actually imperial guards and officials searching for him.

This meant that he could not travel through the night.

During the day, everyone was on their way. It was not difficult for him to blend in, but there was no one on the road in the middle of the night. If he forced his way, he would easily be detained.

Unless… he took a small path.

After a short consideration, Guo Huan chose the latter.

He first abandoned the carriage and the silk in a forest, leaving only the horse behind. The five of them rode their horses through the forest.

There was a village at the end of the forest. After passing the village, there would be a crossing.

If he boarded the ship there, he would be able to escape completely.

Guo Huan felt that his luck was not bad.

Just as he was feeling smug, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was wearing sky-green brocade clothes. His figure was tall and straight, and his temperament was clear.

The man and his sword stood under the moonlight, as if they had been tainted by the coldness and frost of the night.

Guo Huan hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped the horse. He took a closer look and exclaimed, “Su MO?”

After a moment, he calmed down and suddenly smiled. “You’re quite capable to be able to find this place. If you know what’s good for you, quickly move aside. I won’t make things difficult for you. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

He had four shadow guards and was not afraid of Su MO at all.

However, the village was ahead. It would be bad if there were imperial guards in the village and the commotion attracted their attention.

The imperial guards might not be a match for the shadow guards, but they had the advantage in numbers. They could also exhaust them to death in a round-robin battle.

Su MO said nothing.

Guo Huan frowned.

Strange, why did Su MO tonight… give him a different feeling from usual?

Su MO and Guo Huan were both in the league of the four young eligible masters of the capital and were also virtuous people. When the world mentioned him, they all said that he was a filial son and a modest gentleman.

It was said that his more dignified side could only be seen in the military camp.

Guo Huan rode on the tall horse and said condescendingly, “I’ll count to three.

You’d better not block the way. After three, I’ll start a massacre!”

“One!” “Two!”

“Three!”

Before he could finish, Su MO moved.

His movement technique was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of a shadow guard.

The shadow guard did not have time to react.

Everyone only saw a flash of sword light. In the next second, the shadow guard was beheaded and fell to the ground.

Guo Huan shuddered!

He looked at Su MO in disbelief.

This was not the junior shadow guards who were chasing after Su Li!

Su MO actually used one move—

Guo Huan had the same feeling as Su Li.

After killing such an expert, ordinary people would more or less be a little proud and angry, but Su MO was too calm. He could even be said to be cold.

The other three shadow guards pulled out their swords and attacked Su MO spontaneously without waiting for Guo Huan’s order.

In a few exchanges, Su MO dealt with the powerful shadow guards. From the beginning to the end, his emotions did not fluctuate at all.

He held a long sword with blood dripping from the tip.

Guo Huan was also skilled and not bad, but he knew that he could not defeat four high-level shadow guards at once.

Not only did Su MO win, but he also won very easily.

How high was Su Mo’s attainment of martial arts… Even the Marquis of Zhenbei and Su Yuan probably did not know…

Guo Huan began to quickly think of a solution. “Su MO, why don’t we negotiate…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su MO pulled him off the horse.

He fell heavily to the ground, and the bones in his body seemed to have scattered.

Su MO was too heavy-handed!

“Which hand?”

Su MO asked.

Guo Huan did not understand what hand he was referring to.

He glared fiercely at Su MO and secretly wiped his hand on the hidden weapon hidden in his belt.

Su MO slashed back and broke the tendons of one of his hands!

He screamed as the hidden weapon in his left hand flew out.

His habitual hand was his right hand, but his right hand was often easy to guard against, and his left hand was more surprising. Therefore, almost all the dirty tricks he had learned were in his left hand.

“Looks like this one,” Su MO said as he looked at his left hand.

“Wait!” Guo Huan stopped him and panted heavily. “Don’t kill me. Let’s make a deal.”

Su MO raised his sword high in the air.

Guo Huan sneered. “You and I are the same kind of people. We both live under masks and have unknown secrets. You like to kill, right? Killing makes you happy, but unfortunately, it’s probably difficult for your status as the young master of the Marquis’s Mansion to satisfy your desire to kill. Why don’t you come to the White Lotus Society? Division Leader Chen has been captured and will most likely die. You can replace him as the new Leader. At that time, you can do whatever you want!” Su MO stopped moving.

Guo Huan smiled in satisfaction.

However, in the next moment, he couldn’t smile anymore.

“I’m different from you.”

Su MO finished speaking word by word and cut off Guo Huan’s entire left arm!
