After sending the king and Prince Rupert, Sun Chuanting returned to his temporary residence in York City, a house made of stones.

"Master." Two maids who were arranged to provide services to Sun Chuanting bowed.

These two maids are not ordinary civilians, but the daughters of some little nobles, who want to use this to curry favor with this great figure who is well-known in England.

"You can get me two buckets of water back." Sun Chuanting refused everyone, just treating him as an ordinary servant.

"Yes, master." The two maids replied.

Sun Chuanting took a shower simply, and then he would continue to lead his troops to fight in the northern counties. At that time, he would probably live a military life that he could not take a bath for a long time.

At night, Sun Chuanting lay on his bed, thinking about which town he needed to attack next. Most of the north had fallen into the hands of the King's Army. As long as he continued to conquer the towns, he would sooner or later occupy all the towns and land in the north.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something outside the room.

Out of alertness, Sun Chuanting picked up the revolver next to the pillow and walked to the door with slightest hands.

"Master, do you have any instructions?" A maid's voice came out of the door.

Sun Chuanting opened the door and saw a maid holding a candlelight outside.

"I didn't give any instructions... what did you notice?" Sun Chuanting was worried when he heard the other party's words.

"We heard the sound of a wooden basin falling to the ground downstairs. We thought it was the master, you had any trouble or orders, so we asked me to check it out." The maid said respectfully.

"It wasn't the news caused by the two of you?"

Sun Chuanting's expression gradually became solemn.

If it weren't for him or not the two maids causing the noise, then who else could sneak in at this time?

"Not good!" Sun Chuanting heard a ray of fire in the darkness, and suddenly pulled the maid in, closing the door hard.

Bang! The sound of a musket sounded, and the bullet landed at the position where the maid was just now!

Footsteps sounded, and someone rushed to the attic where Sun Chuanting was!

"Two people, no, there are three people, four people..." Sun Chuanting leaned against the corner of the wall, aiming the revolver in his hand at the wooden door that could be kicked open at any time. The candlelight in the maid's hand had been wiped out by Sun Chuanting.

He judged the number of people on the other side based on the sound of footsteps, and there were actually four people.

The maid was obviously frightened and hid in Sun Chuanting's arms with a pale face.

It seems that this time I was afraid of the parliamentary army, so the other party used such a despicable method to seek a turning point.

The mercenaries who came to assassinate shot at the wooden door, but Sun Chuanting was not behind the door. Unless they rushed in, their actions were futile.

"Idiot, reload the gunpowder quickly!" Someone among the assassins realized that shooting at the wooden door was futile.

The reels they use are troublesome to reload, but they are more numerous and each has a musket.

They think that the other party only has one musket, and as long as the other party fires a bullet, they can shoot Sun Chuanting! Now it depends on who breaks in first to face the shooting of Sun Chuanting's musket.

"You go in!" said one of the leading assassins to another.

The man was a little hesitant. If he kicked the door in, he would be shot by Sun Chuanting.

"Get in!" The leading assassin pushed the musket into his chest.

His men had to bite the bullet and kick open the wooden door. As soon as he was about to turn around and go in, Sun Chuanting took the lead in firing.

"Um..." The first assassin who broke in fell to the ground, and the musket in his hand fell to the ground, and he had not had time to shoot.

The three assassins at the back were not sad because of the sacrifice of their companions. On the contrary, if one person is missing to share the commission, each of them can get more rewards. More importantly, they believe that Sun Chuanting used the same musket as them, and it takes a lot of time to reinstall the ammunition after firing a shot.

The three secretly happy people rushed into the room, intending to shoot Sun Chuanting.

However, something that made them desperate happened. Sun Chuanting fired one after another and shot the three people rushing in from behind.

The musket in Sun Chuanting's hand was not a revolver or a coercion, but a revolver that fired six bullet nests. It had almost no way to survive if the person shot at such a close distance.

Sun Chuanting was still worried and stayed in the dark for a while. He carefully identified the movements in the darkness and found that there was no abnormal movement in the darkness. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, who are they..." The maid was so scared that she didn't even dare to scream. Four people lost their lives in front of her on the spot!

"It must be the assassins. If they can't beat us, we will use this kind of despicable means." Sun Chuanting let go of the maid, lit the candlelight to check the assassins lying on the ground, and found that they were all exhausted.

The night assassination alarmed the soldiers in the city. When they learned that the commander-in-chief who led them to victory was assassinated, the officer immediately brought the soldiers to support him, especially some knights who followed Sun Chuanting arrived immediately.

"These people are not like people from England, they may be mercenaries from other kingdoms." Lester brought people to examine the bodies of several assassins.

Just like there were people in England and Scotland serving on the continental battlefield. After the outbreak of the English Civil War, many mercenaries from the continental kingdom flocked to the scent of war and were active in the English warships.

They can be hired and fought by anyone for money, and the kingdoms allow them to exist because their combat experience is more than the farmers who have been recruited. However, the loyalty of these people is worth considering, and they can do anything for money.

"They must have been hired by the parliament and wanted to murder our commander, and they wanted to reverse the situation with this!"

"Defeat this group of shameless people in the parliament and capture the murderer behind the scenes!"

When the knights and infantry learned about this, they were very angry and yelled to defeat the parliament and bring the murderer behind the scenes to justice.

"In the future, I will arrange a bunch of Irish knights to serve as escorts for you. They will follow me to fight in Ireland and the local natives, and they will be absolutely loyal." Irish Governor Lester generously handed over a dozen knights to Sun Chuanting.

These are all personal soldiers he brought, and they are naturally very different from ordinary guards.

Sun Chuanting saw that the assassin was carried out and being assassinated by the parliament, it was naturally proved that the parliament was panicked, but such assassination almost cost him his life.

"If they are really assassins hired by people from the parliament, then our officers are in danger...even the king is in danger. It is best to send someone to remind the king's guards to pay attention to protecting the king's safety. He is our biggest ace now." Sun Chuanting suddenly thought of King Charlie.

If the people in the parliament think they are on the verge of defeat, then everything is possible.
