Chapter 916 Assassination On A Stormy Night (Part Two)
"You have no idea who exactly they are?"
"Not at all," Felton said nonchntly. "Before they attack, you''d better leave as soon as possible."
Shawn pulled out a chair, with a sword in his hand, and sat facing the door. "When Harper left, she
asked me to take good care of you. I''ve sent someone to ask my people to be here, and I''ll stay here
with you before the supporte."
"They are not easy to deal with. Their internal force seems quite strong. They all should be highly
skilled. The guards here can''t fight against the assassins outside," Felton said with a frown. "If you
leave now, there''s still time for you to leave safely."
"Felton, you underestimated me. I''m not afraid of death," Shawn said indifferently. "What''s more, if
something bad happens to you under my watch, I will be too ashamed to meet Harper."
Hearing that, Felton smiled faintly and no longer drove Shawn away. He didn''t fear no matter how many
people were outside. The Qin n had been in silence for twenty years. So, they wouldn''t keep silent
any more. If the people hiding in the dark still thought that the people of the Qin n were easy to
bully, they would be totally wrong.
As Felton continued to y, the melody was no longer low and depressing, but melodious, jubnt and
loud. From now on, Qin n didn''t need to hide anymore. So, he ordered, "Arrange the array to
wee the guests tonight."
There were not only Felton, Shawn and Mathias in the courtyard. Most of the secret guars of the Qin
n were hiding in the dark. As soon as the assassins entered the courtyard, they fell into the array.
Thus, Felton chatted happily with Shawn while looking at the assassins struggling in the array.
"Shawn, you know what? I''ve been waiting for this moment for a long time." With an indescribable
sense of relief on his face, Felton felt like he had waited too long for this day.
Shawn then nodded and asked, "You are from the Qin n in the imperial capital, right?"
"Yes, that''s right. My mother and Harper''s mother are sisters," Felton admitted frankly. "From now on,
the Qin n doesn''t need to hide anymore."
Shawn understood what he meant. The Qin n had been under siege of the four kingdoms and only a
few people survived. Harper survived because of the protection of the Chu n. As for the rest who
could survive, most of them were from the coteral branches of the Qin n.
"I''m d to hear that." Shawn looked rxed.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because what you said proves that she is safe and sound," Shawn said slowly. "I haven''t had a
chance to return her a favor after she saved me that year. Now that there is a chance, I won''t miss it."
Feltonughed. The melody he was ying suddenly became murderous. It pierced into the ears of the
assassins trapped in the array, making them feel ufortable and hallucinate. Not everyone could
resist the attacking power of the melody.
Shawn, sitting next to Felton, was also disturbed by the melody. Seeing this, Felton immediately
pricked at Shawn''s two acupoints, blocking his hearing. In this way, Shawn wouldn''t get hurt or had a
wrong cirction of the energy inside his body after he listened to the music for a long time.
During the night, the rain didn''t stop and no one knew that the blood on both sides of the alley had
been washed clean by the rain, and the dead bodies were dragged away and buried. When it was
dawn, the rain stopped. Felton leaned back on the chair tiredly. Shawn looked tired too. The yard was
as clean as the early morning sky, clean and clear, without any bloodstain.
"It''s dawn."
"Yeah, it''s dawn," Shawn said slowly as he looked at the rising sun. "It''s a good day today. I should go
back. If Rndoes here, I''m afraid he won''t slow down his attacks on the Dragon Pass. If the
Dragon Pass was conquered, you should leave here in advance."
"What? Do you want to guard the Dragon Pass until thest moment of your life?"
"His Majesty and Prince Matthew trust me and asked me to guard the Dragon Pass. Of course, I will
share life and death with the soldiers and people of the Dragon Pass, but you don''t have to do that,"
Shawn said. Then, he stood up and was about to walked out. "Felton, take care," he added.
Seeing Shawn striding out of the yard, Felton smiled and said, "Don''t worry. The Dragon Pass will be
fine. I have sent the new batch of explosives to your mansion."

Shawn stopped, smiled helplessly and said, "Felton, thank you. But I don''t want to use the explosives
for the time being. On one hand, the leaders in the army are too dependent on weapons, and they
be overconfident. On the other hand, during the battle between the two armies, it''s better if I
interweave the true information of my army with the false information to confuse the enemies. If I show
all my cards at once, what should I doter?"
Instead of answering Shawn, Felton just watched him leave. He finally understood why the Harper
would have chosen Shawn to guard the Dragon Pass. She was right. This man was the most suitable
candidate.
"Mathias," Felton called abruptly.
Mathias showed up at once and replied, "Master." Felton asked at once, "When will the reinforcements
of the imperial capital arrive?"
"It is General Maxwell thates to support this time. After a rough calction, I think they will arrive
in three days," Mathias answered after thinking for a while. "I guess Marquis Shawn should be able to
resist the enemies for another three days."
"Three days? I am not sure about that. Shawn and his army may still need hang on three days. Yet, if
that people arrives to help, it will be no problem for Shawn to hold on to the days when Matthew
arrives, let alone three days," Felton said with a faint smile. "Inform our people to get ready to wee
the leader of our n. It''s time for us to take action now."
"Yes, master."
