The sky had yet to dissipate, the smoke rising from the distant chaotic city, the big red lanterns swaying slightly under the eaves, and the smell of blood mixed with the back of the scholar who walked under the eaves. The sky gradually darkened, and the light of the lanterns became increasingly bright. At this time, in the main residence of the Lou family, an almost demonic atmosphere condensed. Silence and pressure assaulted, almost suffocating people.
In the courtyard outside the main hall, people with swords, spears, or bows walked coldly, making rustling sounds. The rear residence of the Lou Family was already under the control of the hundreds of soldiers of the Elite Vanguard Battalion. But at this moment, there were still cries and screams, which were immediately interrupted.
No one knew how the incident would develop. Even those who recognized the scholar who suddenly came in to kill people were few. Lou Shuwang had already become a corpse, but his blood was still flowing. Lou Jinlin sat there looking at the scholar in a frightening silence. The person who was splashed by the vegetable soup had oil dripping from his hair. The oil was gradually drying up, and only a drop of it would occasionally drip down.
Compared to Lou Shuwan, who was kneeling beside her brother and crying, Lou Shuheng, who was in the crowd, seemed to have lost his soul. He had witnessed the death of his brother and his father's helplessness. Somewhere in the depths of his mind, something could no longer be turned. He thought that he was probably going to die too. But from the beginning to the end, Ning Yi did not look at him. Or maybe he did, but he did not notice.
Ning Yi stood under the eaves, frowning as he looked at the smoke in the distance. Then, Chen Fan walked over and looked with him. "The White Deer Temple has made their move."
"The other places should have made their move as well …" Ning Yi thought for a while and sighed. "We missed it here." Originally, he had discussed with Wenren Bu Er that there was a relatively important position here. If the Tyrant Blade Camp made their move today, they would definitely get it.
Of course, Chen Fan did not know about this. "It's not a big deal. Aren't you worried about sister-in-law? "
"She should be fine." The rear residence of the Lou Family was already under control. Moreover, Lu Hongti was there, so Ning Yi was not worried. Chen Fan smiled: "This Lou family … What are these people thinking …"
"Who knows … Stupid young people have more fun, mental patients have more energy …"
"… Couplets?"
"Couplets."
Ning Yi nodded.
*****
Although the situation was already under control, it would still take some time to get Su Tan'er and the others out. Ning Yi and Chen Fan chatted under the eaves, and Fang Shuchang also joined them. Their tones were not high, so others could not hear them clearly. But as time passed, the initially oppressive atmosphere would gradually lessen, giving people space to think.
It was also because Ning Yi's series of actions when he entered the door were too shocking. He rolled up his sleeves, walked up the stairs with light steps, raised his hand and killed Lou Shuwang. Then, he walked over to flip the table and sat in front of Lou Jinlin. After killing his son on the spot, he said that he wanted to kill his entire family. This kind of clean and merciless action would have shocked anyone. However, once there was a buffer time, some people would eventually remember that he said he was here to pick someone up. If someone said no, he would kill the entire Lou Family. However, the hidden meaning behind his words was that he did not come to kill the entire family.
The others did not know his identity, nor did they know who he was going to pick up. They could only pray that he could successfully pick up the person. What would happen to the Lou Family in the future, and whether this person could afford to offend them, were not things that the bystanders needed to consider.
No matter what, with the Lou Family's current status, this person coming over and killing Lou Shuwang was probably already the limit. It was impossible to kill them all. The group of people might not dare to act recklessly, but as time passed, they subconsciously thought so. Some of them even looked at Lou Jinlin who was in the center. The old man had been a hero all his life. He had single-handedly pushed the Lou Family to its current position. Even in the face of danger and danger, the Lou Family did not fall. He was someone who could talk to Fang Qifo. It was impossible for such a clan to be wiped out by this scholar of unknown origins.
The three people under the eaves seemed to be discussing other matters. After a while, some noises came from the side. Someone came to report that the person they wanted to pick up had been picked up. The main hall faced the main door. Naturally, they could not see the situation at the door leading to the back of the house. However, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Under the eaves, the scholar, who was fiddling with something casually in his hands, whispered a few words to Fang Shuchang. Fang Shuchang nodded and waved towards the small square in front of the main hall. Everyone began to sheathe their swords and turned to walk outside.
At this moment, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Ning Yi's back was still facing the hall. His hands were hanging by his side as he looked at the side door. Lou Shuheng, who had been muddle-headed and didn't dare to move recklessly among the crowd, also knew that Su Tan 'er had come over from the other side. It had only been two hours since he had kidnapped Su Tan'er. From the sudden invasion of the army, to Ning Yi's lightning-fast methods, to the stifling silence that followed, it had almost exceeded the sum of all the fear he had ever experienced in his life. But finally, at this moment, everything was over. Everything was over …
On the other side, Fang Shuchang walked down the steps. Chen Fan looked at the pillar of smoke in the distance. Ning Yi looked at the side door. Lou Jinlin gritted his teeth. His uneven white hair danced in the wind, as if each strand was standing on its end. He stood up from his seat. "That's it?!"
His voice was low and deep like a tiger's. It was not angry, but it was full of the old man's repressed emotions. As if reminded by Lou Jinlin, Ning Yi turned around. He raised the gun that he had been playing with for a while and casually pointed it at Lou Jinlin. "Of course not."
It was as if he had just finished what he was about to do before he left.
Time froze for a moment.
He raised the gun and casually shook his head. As he spoke, he pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Black hair, white hair, red blood, flesh, bones, black bullets, iron pellets, all flew in the air and were sent flying backwards ….
"No —"
Lou Shuwan's voice was heart-wrenching.
*****
The shot sent the old man's skull flying. Ning Yi simply replied, "Of course not." He raised the gun and pulled the trigger. After watching the body fall to the ground, he turned around and walked away. Lou Shuwan ran toward her father's body. Halfway there, her body swayed and she fainted on the ground.
Su Tan'er came over. Lu Hongti was also among the crowd. She nodded at Ning Yi. Lu Hongti was not the only one beside Su Tan'er. A few other guards were also looking toward the main hall. Ning Yi pulled Su Tan'er and prepared to leave. Under the eaves, Chen Fan said, "Hey, he still has a son. What if he seeks revenge from you? Let me kill him for you. "He walked toward Lou Shuheng as he spoke.
Ning Yi looked back and said, "As long as he is willing to sacrifice his family, you have to give him a chance. Let him do as he pleases. Let's go, we still have business to attend to. "
Chen Fan shrugged and jogged to catch up with him. He said in a low voice, "That woman just said no. If we don't kill her family now, we will leave. Otherwise, we will lose face in the future." Ning Yi looked at him with amusement. "How can you be so cruel? I was just joking. You have to be open-minded. You can't always think about revenge and killing your family. "
Chen Fan also laughed. Then, he cupped his hands toward Su Tan'er. "You must be my sister-in-law. My name is Chen Fan. If you are bullied in Hangzhou, you can tell them my name."
The group of people left the Lou family and quickly dispersed under Fang Shuchang's command. Some even followed Ning Yi to escort them. The leader of the Sharp Vanguard Battalion also came over and chatted with Ning Yi for a while. After a while, Ning Yi, Su Tan'er, Chen Fan and the others all boarded the carriage. They checked the situation in the city and started to drive the carriage to the White Deer Temple. "Maybe we can join in the fun." As Chen Fan spoke, he looked toward the direction of the Lou Family. Although only two people had died, the Lou Family was finished.
"Seriously, why didn't you just kill that kid? Don't tell me you are really compassionate." Chen Fan finally asked Ning Yi this question seriously. Ning Yi smiled and said: "If we kill them all and the Lou family collapses, how are we going to explain this to your teacher?"
"Just leave one with the surname Lou."
"Women are more ruthless than men. If we leave one woman alive, what if she comes back for revenge? She has a brother at home, so she can't do it. The real powerful people in the Lou family are Lou Jinlin and Lou Shuwang. Lou Shuheng is smart but not responsible. If he dares to risk his life for revenge, you can have his head. "
In fact, there was another reason that Ning Yi didn't say. Lou Shuheng was able to surround Su Tan'er because he was unprepared. Now that the Tyrannical Blade Camp was under their protection, Lou Shuheng wouldn't be able to do anything in the next few months even if he could risk his life. After that, once Hangzhou City fell, the Lou family would become a rebel. He didn't have the ability of his father and brother. At that time, he would be tortured and living a life worse than death.
His arrow and spear seemed casual, but in fact, they were fatal moves aimed at the vital parts of the family. When Lou Jinlin and Lou Shuwang fell, the entire Lou family had completely collapsed. It was only because Fang Qifo asked the Lou family to continue to exist and maintain the business. Therefore, the body of the Lou family was preserved. Of course, this was indeed a casual matter for Ning Yi. There were too many things to do tonight. If there were no clowns like the Lou Family, he would rather not do this from the beginning to the end.
However, at this point, he had no other choice. After saying this, Chen Fan jumped out of the car, leaving the space for Su Tan'er and Ning Yi to be alone. Su Tan'er didn't know much about the whole situation. Originally, she gave the choice to Ning Yi in the hope that there would be a possibility of leaving the city. However, this possibility was finally gone. He had laid his cards on the table with Liu Guihua. From now on, the husband and wife would have to stay in the Tyrant's Saber Camp. Su Tan 'er would have to stay in Hangzhou for her pregnancy. She might even have to wait to give birth to their first child amidst the chaos.
Ning Yi briefly explained this to her. Su Tan'er was silent for a while. Finally, she smiled sweetly and held her husband's hand. "Husband, I don't want to go anywhere. So … where are we going now? "
"To join in the fun." Ning Yi thought for a moment and then lifted the curtain of the car. A column of smoke rose into the sky and the street flashed by. "… I'll take you to see the fireworks."
*****
The White Deer Temple was ablaze with flames and weapons.
Bang! The girl's Tyrannical Blade slashed an enemy into the raging flames.
There were fights all around, but only the Tyrannical Blade Camp had the upper hand. A middle-aged man with a high level of martial arts shouted from the front, "Liu Dabiao, the Tyrannical Blade Camp betrayed us. How dare you fight among yourselves …"
"This is too much." Liu Guihua walked forward and said to the members of the Tyrannical Blade Camp beside her. "Go tell him that the White Deer Temple is on fire. The Tyrannical Blade Camp helped put out the fire, but they attacked us indiscriminately. How rude!" As she spoke, she threw the torch in her hand into the nearby house that was not on fire. Before the man's voice faded away, a figure appeared behind the middle-aged man. The figure's sleeves fluttered in the wind as he hit the back of the man's head with a palm. The man's brain burst open. It was Liu Tiannan.
"There's no need to tell him." Liu Guihua tilted her head and said. After Liu Tiannan came over, she asked, "How are the women?"
"Most of them have been rescued."
"Bao Daoyi is probably rushing back, but he won't make it in time."
Most of the battles around them had been settled. The two of them began to walk toward the retreat route. They talked about the battle for a while on the way, and then brought up a topic from before. "Villa Master, do you really think that Young Master Ning wants to stay here?"
"He wants to send his wife and maidservants away. That's for sure. He knows that he can't leave, but I think that if he was given a chance, he would choose to stay. "
"Because of … his ambition?"
"Yes, because of his ambition." Liu Guihua smiled. When she spoke of Ning Yi, there was a hint of emotion in her expression. "At first, I thought that it was strange for a person like him to marry into a merchant's family. Later, I slowly realized the reason. Uncle Nan isn't an ordinary person. His mind is full of deviant thoughts. If he didn't have those thoughts in his heart, how could he have said those things to such an extent? I think he's the one who truly wants to do those things. He truly wants to do it, but he's afraid. If he can't help but express his thoughts in times of peace, he'll be dead. After thinking it through, he can only marry into the family. "
As far as the eye could see, the entire mountain was covered in blood and flames. The girl paused for a moment.
"When we captured him, he was wary when he first told me those things. But after he let his guard down, he said more and more. Recently, his thoughts have become more and more specific. I can't think it through as thoroughly as he does, but to be so thorough, he must have been thinking about it for five or ten years. He doesn't know if he can do it in the end, but after thinking so much, he must want to try. If he wants to try and see the results, I'm the only one who can make him do it. "
"He doesn't think well of the Euphoria Dynasty. But after sending his wife and maidservants away, he plans to stay. That was his original plan tonight." As she spoke of Ning Yi, the girl stroked her hair and smiled brightly in the firelight. "Uncle Nan, let's make a bet. Even if I let him go, he might not be willing to leave. We're on the same side. One day, the Euphoria Dynasty might lose, but Ning Liheng will still be with our Tyrant Saber Camp. If not, how could he realize such crazy ambitions? "
