Turning his body sideways would allow him to avoid the attack. Even if he could not avoid it, he would avoid being hit in the vitals. Lastly, he could use his arms, thighs, buttocks, or any other unimportant and non-lethal parts to block the incoming weapons.
Taking a step back was to ensure his safety; looking to his side was to be prepared. If the attack in front of him was just a distraction, the fatal blow would come from behind or from his side.
At the same time, his hand gripped the hilt of his saber as he leaned forward, ready to kill.
This was an instinctive reaction that Yun Yang had developed after years of training.
It was only when he straightened his body that he realized …
It was a man with only one left arm, blood splattering all over the street. The man was convulsing in pain as he struggled to get up.
Yun Yang frowned and looked up.
There was a vermilion board on the main door with the words "Residence of Halcyon Marquis" written on it.
"Residence of Halcyon Marquis …" Yun Yang immediately recalled the relevant information: Halcyon Marquis, Xie Wuyuan; Assistant Minister of the Board of War, a civil official; his father-in-law was the imperial tutor, Liu Wei. He was originally an ordinary official, but after a few military exploits, he had actually risen to become the Assistant Minister of the Board of War.
It could be said that he had real power. However, although this person had risen to his current position through military exploits and the title of a martial marquis from the imperial court, and he was an official of the Board of War, he did not have the slightest fondness for the military.
Since ancient times, the civil and the military had always been incompatible.
It was the same in any imperial court, but there were not many who had such a clear attitude like Sir Xie.
"Thank you, sir!" The man who had fallen outside was obviously badly injured, bleeding from his mouth and nose. Only now did he snap out of it and cry out, "This lowly one has been wronged! We are all from the School of Militarism, why must you kill us all? "
All from the School of Militarism?
Yun Yang frowned.
Following this shout, three people slowly walked out from the gate. One was a young man, and the other two were guards. Strolling down the stairs, the young man studied the man on the ground with his hands behind his back and said with a pout, "Chen San, this young master has given you this opportunity out of goodwill, but you don't know how to cherish it. Sparing your life is already an act of mercy. On account of the fact that we were once colleagues in the military, why don't you leave quickly? Do you want to die? "
Chen San stood up with difficulty. "I ask young master to be merciful and allow my wife to return with me. Young Master, Sir Xie, please understand. This lowly one has been honest and upright all my life. I have never done anything shady. This lowly one is innocent! "
"Get lost!" Young Master Xie glared at him. "You're innocent? Could it be that the jade pendant I found on you was actually fake? "
Chen San said in grief and indignation, "Someone is framing us … Young Master, Young Master is wise!"
Young Master Xie sneered, "You didn't frame anyone else, but you? Are you handsome? "
Chen San's expression gradually turned to despair, and he suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Even if this lowly one did it, what does it have to do with this lowly one's wife? This lowly one is willing to take the blame. I beg Young Master to let my wife go back! "
"Throw him out!" Young Master Xie said, "If he continues to speak, he will be sent to the court!" He actually ignored him.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Chen San shouted with grief and indignation, "I've known for a long time that you covet my wife's beauty! But people always have a conscience. You slandered me like this, where is your conscience? "
Young Master Xie's expression darkened. He gave an order with a dark expression and turned to walk through the door.
Chen San stood up and was about to chase after him. "Let my wife out …"
However, two guards had already blocked his way. "Chen San, don't talk nonsense and ruin someone's reputation. If you say another word, you'll really be sent to the court! "
Chen San's lips trembled. "But … my wife … my wife …"
The other guard punched him in the face, causing blood to splatter. "What do you mean by your wife? Scram! "
Chen San fell on his back and cried out in despair, "Oh my God … is there still a place for reasoning in this world? This is Tiantang City, right under the feet of the emperor … "
The people around them kept their distance, walking close to the base of the wall. Occasionally, they would glance over sympathetically.
"This Chen San … Is the Residence of Halcyon Marquis something he can afford to offend?"
"Not bad, it's already good enough that he managed to escape with his life …"
"If this goes on, he might not be able to keep his life … Sigh!"
"What a femme fatale …"
Everyone's eyes were sharp, they knew what was going on with just a few words. However, who dared to say a word in the face of the powerful Residence of Halcyon Marquis?
Yun Yang's expression darkened as he took a step forward.
He stretched out his hand.
Pow!
Just as he blocked another guard's punch, his other hand had already pulled Chen San up. "Remnants of the military? What happened? "
Chen San's face was covered in blood and tears. "Is it … the remnants of the battle at Yangwu Gate four years ago … young master?"
Yun Yang asked, "What happened?"
Before Chen San could answer, the two guards had already charged over with menacing expressions. "Child, mind your own business …"
Yun Yang did not turn back as his leg flew out.
With two bangs, the two guards had already been kicked to the ground by him. Raising his left foot, he stepped on the two guards' chests with both of his feet.
The two guards felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, suffocating them. Their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. They struggled with all their might but to no avail.
Chen San wiped the blood off his face and said in grief, "A month ago, Young Master Xie sent someone to find me, asking me to be a guard at home and my wife to do the sewing. The pay wasn't bad, it was enough to supplement the family's income. I only knew that it was Young Master Xie who sympathized with our difficult lives and specially gave us this job. Who knew that it wasn't like that after coming here …"
"I've just finished my shift today. Young Master's jade pendant was lost, but it was found under my bed … This … This is Erebus' injustice …"
Yun Yang nodded. "Say no more."
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
"I don't care if it's right or wrong!" Yun Yang pulled Chen San along. "What's wrong with detaining someone else's wife? Come with me! "
He strode towards the gate of Halcyon Marquis.
The two guards finally picked themselves up from the ground and chased after him. "Stop right there!"
Yun Yang frowned and turned around abruptly. Two heavy slaps flew out of the guards' mouths, causing them to spit blood as they were flung far away. "It's fine if it's someone else, but looking at your actions and spirit, you must be from the military as well, right? Back then, your brother was bullied and even your wife was detained by someone else. How dare you help the evildoer! "
"You're worse than animals!"
Yun Yang's tone was harsh.
The two guards lay on the ground, their faces full of shame. It was obvious who was in the right and who was in the wrong. As the parties involved, how could they not know?
"Yun Yang!" Young Master Xie had already turned around when he heard the commotion, his expression ugly. "This has nothing to do with you, mind your own business!"
Yun Yang smirked and pulled Chen San along as he walked towards Young Master Xie. "Xie Qingyun, what if I insist on interfering?"
Xie Qingyun retorted angrily, "What right do you have to meddle in my family's affairs?"
Yun Yang nodded. With a sudden flick of his hand, a slap landed harshly on Young Master Xie's face. His head tilted to the side as two of his teeth flew out. Blood gushed out of his nostrils like a fountain.
"Let him out!"
Yun Yang's expression was cold.
"How dare you hit me …" Xie Qingyun's face was ashen, his eyes wide in disbelief.
"Slap!"
Yun Yang gave him another slap, snapping his crooked mouth back. His expression was cold as he said, "Hand him over!"
Xie Qingyun was flung away by the slap and fell to the ground. Suddenly, he crawled up like a madman and bellowed, "Guards! Guards! Someone come! Take this madman down! "
Yun Yang took large strides forward, punching and kicking, knocking the four guards who had surrounded him to the ground. He grabbed Xie Qingyun's shirt and lifted him up, his left hand landing a vicious punch on his nose.
There was a cracking sound.
Young Master Xie's nose collapsed. "Take me down? Even your father wouldn't dare talk to me like this! I'm only asking you, are you going to hand him over or not? "
Xie Qingyun was sobbing, unable to speak.
A stern voice rang from inside, "I was wondering who it was. So it's the young master of Marquis Yun's family. No wonder you dare to be so presumptuous in my Residence of Serenity Marquis!"
As he spoke, a middle-aged man dressed in Confucian robes walked out with a cold expression. Looking at his son who was beaten to the ground by Yun Yang, a hint of heartache flashed across his face. "Young Master Yun, this has nothing to do with you. Please let go."
Yun Yang said coldly, "Ask your son to let him go and I'll let him go."
"There must be logic in everything." This middle-aged man was the assistant minister of the Board of War, Xie Wuyuan. His face was dark. "You interfered without asking for the cause and effect! What logic is this? "
Yun Yang smirked and said, "Logic? I'd like to ask how the Xie Family is supposed to be reasonable! Let's not talk about the fact that Chen San might not have stolen anything. Even if he did, why did you guys detain his wife? What logic are you talking about? To catch an adulterous couple, to catch a thief, to catch the stolen goods. Yet, you're holding his wife captive? "
"Is this logic, Sir Xie?" Sir Xie? "Yun Yang smiled faintly and said," Since you are being unreasonable, why should I be reasonable with you? I only have one question for Sir Xie now – are you going to let him go or not? "
"I don't care about the cause and effect, I'm not going to reason with you either. I only want him! It has nothing to do with me, I want him too! "Yun Yang stood up straight." Are you going to let him go or not? Give me an answer! "
Xie Wuyuan looked at Yun Yang with a dark expression. He did not know about this incident, he did not know that his son would actually do such a thing. Now that he was under the watchful eyes of so many people, how could he be willing to lower himself?
"What if I don't let him go?" Xie Wuyuan said coldly.
"Don't let him go?" Yun Yang laughed. "If you don't let him go, do you think I won't fight my way in to snatch him away?"
He charged straight in.
"Catch him!" Xie Wuyuan was enraged. "Catch him! Even if this old man has to enter the palace with him to meet the emperor, I have to make this matter clear. Even if the Residence of Marquis Xiaoyao has the power to rule the world, you have to give this old man justice!"
"I shall return justice to you now!" Yun Yang smiled coldly and grabbed Sir Xie abruptly.
Then, he jerked his body forward, his knee thrusting forward like a thunderbolt.
"Bam, bam …"
"Be reasonable! I am being reasonable with you! Don't you want to be reasonable? Come, be reasonable! "Yun Yang scolded as he punched and kicked. Although he did not use mystical force, Sir Xie was delicate and fragile. It did not take long for him to pass out from the beating.
"Let him go! You think you can scare me by meeting the emperor? Even if you want to meet the King of Hell, you have to let him go first! "
The surrounding crowd's eyelids twitched. This fellow had actually beaten up Sir Xie's father as well!
