Chapter 659: Ambush

    

Night Rat.     

It was actually an information gathering organization more than assassination organization. They specialized in providing information to the people who paid the right price and had been operating in various kingdoms.     

Fei Yang Kingdom was only one of them.     

Emperor Yang Zhou recognized that the three people who came wore the Night Rat mark on their robes. Despite the dim lighting inside the corridor, he could still recognize them very clearly.     

As for Black Gulf.     

It was an assassination organization that liked to trade with items more than money. Whatever the other party offered, as long as they could provide items with enough value, they would be moved.     

The two groups didn\'t usually cooperate together.     

But tonight, Emperor Yang Zhou saw the two of them gathered in one place, trying to kill him. Whoever paid for them to come must have been prepared to pay with a huge price because it would be impossible otherwise.     

"Ah, he actually recognizes us." Night Rat member number 1 looked astonished.     

"He\'s the Emperor, so it\'s only natural that he studies a bit." Night Rat member number 2 looked at the person beside Emperor Yang Zhou. "It\'s more interesting to see Young Commander Long at the palace at this time."     

Long Qian Xing looked at the Night Rat members with an indifferent expression. Since the Night Rat Organization focused more on gathering information, he was not too surprised that they found out about his identity. Even Dark Moon Organization could guess that he was part of Emperor Yang Zhou\'s faction that moved from the shadow, what was more an organization that truly specialized in gathering information?     

"Young Commander Long?" Black Gulf member number 1 looked at Long Qian Xing and his expression turned grim.     

Everyone knew Long Qian Xing\'s fame since he had practically made a name for himself for the past few years. Not to mention, the recent war had showed that he was someone who couldn\'t be underestimated.     

Even a Heavenly General died in his hand.     

Even if luck played a role in his attempt, it didn\'t change the fact that he managed to kill someone whose status was so high above. His martial art skill must have been quite something for him to be able to do so.     

"Young Commander Long, how about if you join us instead of following that Emperor? Even if he had gathered some people, he can\'t be a match against those behind us. With your capabilities, you\'ll be able to reach greater height." Night Rat member number 2 looked at Long Qian Xing with heated gaze.     

If Long Qian Xing truly joined them, they would have an additional powerful member who could possibly help them.     

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. "I have no intention of switching sides."    &nb

"Is that so?" Night Rat Member number 2 looked at Emperor Yang Zhou beside Long Qian Xing and snorted. "I wonder what did he offer to you that makes you so loyal to him. Even when he\'s nothing more than a young man with no prior knowledge or advantage."     

Emperor Yang Zhou\'s expression didn\'t change. He was still holding his sword tightly, ready to attack at any moment.     

Long Qian Xing naturally didn\'t answer.     

His deal with Emperor Yang Zhou was naturally only something between them. He didn\'t have any obligation to answer the inquiry of these people.     

Black Gulf member number 2 scoffed. "If you want to keep on poaching people, you better do it later after I finish dealing with them."     

"Don\'t underestimate us!"     

"You…"     

Swish!     

At this moment, the three Night Rat members sensed sudden danger and swiftly moved away from their position. However, the third member felt pain on his forehead before everything blacked out.     

Long Qian Xing also swiftly moved towards the five Black Gulf members not far from him. His sword hit the first one as he switched his stance and directly attacked the second one without stopping.     

Beside him, Emperor Yang Zhou also moved forward with Lan Qiu.     

Both dealt with one Black Gulf member, killing them. Since they had some abilities with martial arts, it was not that hard to deal with one member of the Black Gulf Organization. Besides, Long Qian Xing was practically dealing with the other two, giving them the time they needed.     

Slash! Thud!     

"Damn it!" The last Black Gulf member took out a bottle, but before he could throw it, something flashed and broke the bottle in his hand.     

Prang!     

Powder spread in his arm, sending him pain that was worse than anything as he screamed out loudly.     

"Aaaaa...."     

Stab!     

Long Qian Xing stabbed the man\'s throat and turned around to look at the opposite side of the corridor. He had to finish everything as quickly as possible.     

That scream would have alarmed many others who were waiting for a chance to find the Emperor.     

The two Night Rat members who managed to avoid the first ambush had taken out their twin daggers and prepared to defend themselves. A shadow moved passed them and two sound rang out.     

Clang! Slash!     

The Night Rat member number 1 fell down to the ground with a thud.     

Only the Night Rat member number 2 was still alive. He was staring at the newcomer as he recognized that kind of movement. The person in front of him was also an assassin! And not an ordinary assassin at that.     

"Why is an assassin like you…" &    

nbsp;   

Swish! Clang!     

Nan Hua didn\'t wait for the Night Rat member number 2 to finish talking as she stepped forward and launched her attack once more. The dagger in her hand moved swiftly as her other hand took out several needles.     

Swish! Swish! Jleb!     

Night Rat member number 2 was still staring with disbelief as his body fell down.     

He could never understand why an assassin would help the Emperor instead of following them.     

Thud!     

As the last Night Rat member fell down, Nan Hua stood still and turned to look at the three people in the corridor.
