Everything was ready except for the east wind.
The east wind was between Young Master Lu's small fan.
Young Master Lu waved his small fan and excitedly walked out of Hibiscus Garden.
Young Master Lu had gone to Hibiscus Garden to test the Kunlun's water slaving skills. He had never expected that Yang Fan would also come to Hibiscus Garden and that his subordinates had chosen to make a move there.
There were very few tourists in this season. If the process of making a move was seen by one or two tourists, they could just finish them off at once. The consequences wouldn't be serious. Wasn't this the best place to make a move?
But Young Master Lu's subordinates knew that Young Master was here. So when the two men leading the horses followed Yang Fan and discovered that he was coming along River Qu and heading towards Hibiscus Garden, one of them quickly rode his horse around from outside the forest and hurriedly asked Young Master Lu if there was a need to change the time so as not to affect Young Master's mood.
Young Master Lu had no interest in specifically going to see how his subordinates would execute an official of the court who was his older brother's enemy. But since the two sides had coincidentally come together, he didn't mind watching. So this matter didn't dampen his mood. His mood was still very high.
Young Master Lu was beaming with joy and waved his small fan even more confidently. The fan was made with ivory as the bone and white silk as the base. It was made with embroidery techniques on both sides. The side that covered the chest was a magpie ascending a branch. The exposed side was a peacock spreading its tail. Peonies and plum blossoms interweaved and scattered. A peacock spreading its colorful tail looked very much like Young Master Lu's smug face.
"Such big words. What explanation do you want to give me?"
Young Master Lu heard Dugu Yu's words and immediately followed up with a gloomy voice.
Dugu Yu turned his head and the two people's eyes met. They both froze at the same time. Dugu Yu said in surprise, "Lu Binzhi?"
Young Master Lu also said in surprise, "Dugu Yu?"
Dugu Yu saw that it was someone he recognized and immediately let out a sigh of relief. The other had already put out such a lineup. If it was someone he didn't know, he would really be afraid that the other would have no scruples. In a loud voice Dugu Yu said, "Erlang is Dugu's friend. Today he is invited to Quchi for a banquet. Brother Lu, what is your intention by putting up such a show of force?"
At this time, Lu Binzhi also came to his senses. He dared to kill an official of the imperial court, but he had to kill him without leaving a trace. Even if he couldn't make it look like he died by accident, he had to make sure that there was no evidence that could be used against him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. Now that he had already mobilized his men and laid out a sure-kill formation, no matter who saw it, there was no reason for them to stop. If he stopped now, would Yang Fan be willing to give up?
Lu Binzhi had originally planned to settle this matter no matter who it was that had witnessed it. But he hadn't expected that the witness would be the Dugu Family's Lord. Lu Binzhi thought to himself, This is such bad luck. Why did he have to be present? After the deed is done, it will take more effort to shut his mouth. "
With this in mind, Lu Binzhi's tone became more amiable. "Da Lang, I am sorry. I did not know that you were hosting a banquet today. Otherwise, I would have missed today. It's just that … "
Lu Binzhi closed his fan and pointed at Yang Fan, saying gloomily: "This person is your guest, but also my enemy! If Brother Dugu still considers me a friend, please step aside. It won't be too late for me to apologize to Brother Dugu after I end this person! "
Dugu Yu was furious. "Lu Binzhi, you know that he is my guest, yet you still dare to make a move?"
Lu Binzhi chuckled. "Brother Lu, I have already set up such a formation. It's hard to sheath a knife!" His voice suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Do it!"
"Who dares!" Dugu Yu opened his hand and blocked in front of Yang Fan, blocking the direction of the eight men in loose robes. He shouted, "Lu Binzhi, don't go too far! This is Chang 'an, not your Lu Manor! "
The corner of Lu Binzhi's mouth curled up slightly as he said coldly, "I know you're the local bully here, but if I wasn't a strong dragon, how would I dare to cross this river of yours? Brother Dugu, you can't scare me!"
Dugu Yu said, "I can't scare you, but what about the imperial court? Erlang is an official of the court. Killing an official is equivalent to rebellion. How dare you act so recklessly in broad daylight? "
Lu Binzhi laughed. "My men have already taken control of the outside, so no one else will come in. I wanted to kill everyone here, but I didn't expect you to be here as well. You and I are acquaintances, so I can't be so cruel as to kill you as well … Haha, why haven't you pulled Young Master Dugu away? Don't make things difficult for him! "
The two sumo masters moved, swinging their arms as they closed in on Dugu Yu. As their arms swayed, it was as if they were shaking a mountain. Before they even arrived, their imposing aura made it hard for others to breathe.
Dugu Yu was infuriated and shouted, "Surnamed Lu! You're too arrogant! Don't think that my Dugu family is afraid of your Lu clan! This is Guanzhong, not your Shandong! If you dare treat me like I'm nothing, we'll just part ways. Do you believe that I won't announce this matter to the world if you dare hurt my guest? "
Lu Binzhi wiped his eyes and said indifferently, "I don't believe it! If you dare do that, you'll form a death grudge with my Lu family! Not to mention that he's only a guest, even if he were your father, I believe that you wouldn't declare war on my Lu family if you had to pay the price of the entire family, because you're the head of the family! "
Dugu Yu's face turned ashen as if he had been exposed, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Lu Binzhi continued, "If I wasn't certain of this, I would've long since given the order to kill you as well. Although it would be a bit troublesome, as long as my hands and feet are clean enough, what can your Dugu family do to me? Brother Dugu, I'm not going to hurt him, I'm going to … kill him! "
Yang Fan had been standing there the entire time. He might not have had a chance to escape at first, but Dugu Yu had opened his arms like a mother hen protecting her chick to block the crossbow, so it wasn't as if he didn't have a chance at all. The Crooked River was deep, and it was unknown how deep it was. But Yang Fan could swim in the ocean, so this was naturally not a problem for him.
If Dugu Yu had opened his arms to protect him, and Yang Fan had jumped into the water to escape, with his swimming ability, those crossbow bolts might not have been able to hit him. But Yang Fan hadn't moved, and had been standing there listening to this person who wanted to kill him. Unfortunately, after listening for so long, other than knowing that this person's surname was Lu, his name was Lu Binzhi, and that he came from a large family in Shandong, he didn't know anything else. He couldn't help but speak.
Yang Fan coughed and said, "This Young Master Lu, I've listened to you for a long time, but I still don't know what kind of enmity you and I have formed. You're a graceful gentleman, you can't just teach and punish, right? Shouldn't you let me die knowing? "
Lu Binzhi stared at Yang Fan for a moment, his eyebrows raised, and he smiled, "You're in a desperate situation, but you still have such courage, it's admirable! I've always admired brave warriors, but unfortunately, I can't forgive you because of this. Today, you must die! If you want to know the cause of death, it's easy … "
Lu Binzhi's expression became stern, and he said coldly, "Because … you're my big brother's enemy! My big brother has painstakingly built Chang 'an for many years, and now his great foundation has been destroyed. Tracing back to the source, it might not be without your fault. My big brother doesn't want to kill you, so as his younger brother, I naturally have to do it for him! "
Yang Fan's knife-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, and after a moment, they slowly relaxed, and his eyes revealed a look of relief, "Young Master Jiang?"
Lu Binzhi said hatefully, "That's right!"
Yang Fan nodded lightly, and said to himself, "So Young Master Jiang's surname is Lu? Yes, the surname Lu originates from the surname Jiang, and if he wants to change his surname, the surname Jiang is naturally the best. Haha, so you're Fan Yang's Lu family? "
Lu Binzhi smiled proudly, and didn't answer, as if he didn't care to answer. He closed his fan, raised his hand, and between his fingers was a pearl the size of a longan fruit, and said in a clear voice, "Before he dies, whoever can pick up this pearl will be heavily rewarded by this young master!"
Lu Binzhi bent his finger, and the pearl drew an arc in the air. When the sunlight reflected, it was suffused with colorful light, like a rainbow after the rain.
One end of the rainbow seemed to be still tied to Lu Binzhi's hand, and the other end had already disappeared into the clear river. Several Kunlun slaves standing behind Lu Binzhi rushed into the river.
"Bang, bang!" Several Kunlun slaves dived into the river one after another, and at the same time, the four sumo wrestlers that were slowly approaching suddenly increased their speed, and fiercely pounced towards Yang Fan.
They rushed past Dugu Yu, and the bluestone under their feet trembled like wooden planks. When the tall figures rushed past Dugu Yu, it was like four mad bulls rushing past a female deer. Dugu Yu trembled, and in the end, he didn't have the courage to stop them.
He also had guards, but he didn't bring them with him. How could he know that when he went to the bridgehead to welcome the guests, he would be met with such a scene. Moreover, Lu Binzhi was well prepared, and even if he brought two guards, it would be of no use. Lu Binzhi's rudeness made him angry and hateful, but Lu Binzhi's threat also made him secretly cold. He was really afraid that Lu Binzhi would harden his heart and kill him.
So when the four angry bears rushed past him, he didn't have enough courage to stop them.
When the four sumo wrestlers rushed towards Yang Fan, Yang Fan arched his body, and like a cheetah, he pounced towards Lu Binzhi. The bulls followed, and the cheetah in front, as if they were pouncing towards Lu Binzhi together. Yang Fan had waited until now to confirm the other party's identity. Now that the truth was out, he naturally had to capture the leader.
"Pa, pa, pa!"
Fists, palms, legs, and feet. In an instant, it was unknown how many moves had been exchanged. In just an instant, Yang Fan and the two guards in front of Lu Binzhi had already exchanged more than ten moves. There were still two more guards standing beside Lu Binzhi, waiting for the next move.
The two guards that rushed over were all skilled in martial arts, and when their fists and feet clashed with Yang Fan, a series of terrifying explosive sounds rang out. Yang Fan's hands and feet were somewhat numb.
He was confident that he could take down these two, but he needed time. Even if he took down these two, there were still two more behind him. At this time, the four sumo wrestlers had already fallen, and like two waves, they fiercely smashed towards Yang Fan. If this fall landed, it was likely that they would directly snap Yang Fan's waist.
When fighting with these four black bears, he could only use small martial arts. If he wanted to fight them head-on, they could use their weight to crush Yang Fan. However, the small bridge wasn't very wide, and there wasn't enough space for Yang Fan to twist and turn. Yang Fan's body shot out like a spirit ape, and he hooked onto the stone railing with one hand. His entire body whizzed out, and he hung above the river.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Just as his body emerged from the bridge, two crossbow bolts shot towards his suspended body …
