The snakes were so numerous that they could not survive.

"Snakes! So many snakes!"

The black-clad assassins chopped at the snakes with their swords.

They were all highly skilled in martial arts, but they could not withstand the endless stream of poisonous snakes.

"Boss, what should we do?" Everyone was a little scared. If they were bitten by the poisonous snakes, they would probably die.

The leading assassin had no choice but to lead them back the way they came. "Let's leave here first and find another way in tomorrow."

"Yes, Boss." Everyone agreed and turned around and left with their swords.

In the Zhou family, Zhou Ruiyuan and Aunt Zhou became nervous after learning that the assassins were coming.

"Those people are so quick. They came to Qingzhou Prefecture in such a short time."

Mrs. Zhou frowned, turned to look at Du Wanchun in the house, and said to Zhou Ruiyuan: "Ruiyuan, take Wanchun and the children away from here first."

Zhou Ruiyuan comforted her and said: "Mother, don't worry. The assassins only know that we are in Cheng'an County and don't know that I am in Changliu Village."

Mrs. Zhou's face was full of worry, "I'm afraid they will find here suddenly."

At this time, Wang Qiu, who had just arrived in the yard, happened to hear their conversation and strode over and said: "Don't worry, if they dare to enter this village, I will chop off their legs!"

Mrs. Zhou felt a little relieved when she saw him coming.

Zhou Ruiyuan thought about it, and then said: "But what mother said is right, Wanchun and the children can be placed somewhere else first."

Wang Qiu hurriedly said: "Why not let sister-in-law and the children live in my house."

The Wang family has also made some money with the Zhou family during this period. Aunt Wang has also built a small house next to their house. They have moved in not long ago, and the old house is still empty.

Aunt Zhou thought it was very good when she heard it, "That's right, let Wanchun and the children live in your aunt Wang's house. When the assassin comes, they don't know the identity of those children."

Although the assassin may not necessarily find this place, Zhou Ruiyuan still dare not joke with the lives of Du Wanchun and the three children. After thinking about it, he thought it was a good idea.

But before agreeing to Wang Qiu, Zhou Ruiyuan returned to the room first, wanting to ask Du Wanchun's opinion.

Du Wanchun had heard their conversation in the room a long time ago. When she saw Zhou Ruiyuan coming in, she smiled and said, "My husband, I think what mother said is right. The children and I can stay at Aunt Wang's house for a while."

Zhou Ruiyuan walked up to the children, frowning, feeling a little guilty, "Wanchun, I am sorry for you and your children, and let you suffer with me."

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "It's just living across the street for a few days. What's the point of suffering? Anyway, Aunt Zhuang will go with us, and we don't have to worry about food and drink."

Listening to her words, Zhou Ruiyuan was very grateful to his wife. He sat down beside her and held her hands for a long time, unwilling to let go.

At this time, the eldest and second child, who were originally sleeping soundly, cried together.

They also woke up the third child in the cradle.

Zhou Ruiyuan stood up suddenly and picked up the third child immediately.

The third child stopped crying immediately after being picked up. When she stopped crying, the other two brothers also stopped crying immediately.

Zhou Ruiyuan looked down at the baby in his arms and smiled, "Our Mianmian is still sensible."

After saying that, he held the child tightly.

Du Wanchun looked at him and almost laughed out loud.

The two brothers pouted, not realizing that they were ignored by their own father.

After Zhou Ruiyuan left with the children, he and Aunt Zhou arranged to settle Du Wanchun and the children in Wang's house.

After the children went to Wang's house, Zhou Ruiyuan could no longer hold his little girl like before. His face was gloomy and he thought to himself that if he really met the assassins, he would cut them into pieces.

At night.

The assassins found another waterway.

A group of people took a boat and sailed towards Cheng'an County.

The leading assassin looked at the map again and again, "Last time, the emperor's people left Cheng'an County and went directly to Lin County. So far, they have found nothing. I think there is something wrong with Cheng'an County."

"That's right, boss. Maybe the magistrate of Cheng'an County has been in cahoots with the queen and the prince for a long time."

The leading assassin suddenly realized, "No wonder we saw so many yamen runners at the gate when we arrived at the city gate today."

He snorted coldly and said, "If the magistrate of Cheng'an County dares to protect them, we will kill him too. After all, he is just a small

County magistrate, the emperor will not blame you if he finds out. "

"Yes, boss!"

The other black-clad assassins responded in unison.

As the night deepened, the wind on the river grew stronger.
