In the Lu family's mansion in Yongping Square, in the sumptuous parlor, there were fragrances and fragrances, and music.
Twelve courtesans with long sleeves and no make-up on their faces danced gracefully. Their red dresses fluttered in the wind, and their wide sleeves fluttered in the wind as they danced gracefully.
The musicians sat behind the folding screens, playing the zither and flute, and the sound of music flowed into the ears.
Cui Shi did not take any of the delicacies, but used a toothpick to pick up a piece of "Qiong Long Melon" and stuffed it into his mouth. He smiled as he watched the dancers' graceful movements and the seductive twisting waist like a snake.
He liked this feeling very much, especially since the person he trapped was Lu Binmi. This made him ecstatic and excited. They were both descendants of aristocratic families, but the other party was far above him in both ability and status. This had always made him feel unfair. Now that the other party was in trouble, Cui Shi was overjoyed.
The Qiong Long Melon was sweet and fragrant, and Cui Shi's heart was also filled with sweetness. He swallowed a mouthful of the fruit, and just as he was about to tie up another piece, a burly man in a black robe stumbled in from outside. He knocked over two rows of dancers, who were as slender as willows, and they fell to the sides. The music immediately stopped.
The young masters in the hall were all stunned, and then Wang Siyuan called out, "Zhan Tian, why are you here?"
Wang Siyuan recognized the burly man who rushed into the parlor, sweating profusely. He was one of Great Grandfather Lu's men.
Zhan Tian was one step behind Yang Fan, but he had been in Chang 'an for a long time and was familiar with the roads. He took a shortcut to rush here, and finally got ahead of Yang Fan. Zhan Tian hurriedly told them what Great Grandfather Lu had told him, and the hall was instantly silent.
Cui Shi, who was the oldest and sat at the head of the table, clapped his hands and chased the dancers and musicians out. He looked at the shocked young masters and asked, "Everyone, what should we do?"
Zheng Yu hesitated, "Great Grandfather Lu only sent a message, but he did not tell us what to do. What … should we do?"
Cui Shi ignored the bookworm and only looked at Wang Siyuan.
Wang Siyuan said, "Lu Binmi must not die in the hands of Yang Fan!"
His younger brother, Wang Siyuan, curled his lips and said, "If Yang Fan really finds his way here, I'm afraid he'll be the one dead!"
Zheng Yu said, "Lu Binmi cannot die in Yang Fan's hands, and Yang Fan cannot die in Lu Binmi's hands either. But once they meet, it will be a fight to the death!"
This was nonsense, and everyone ignored him. They all looked at Cui Shi. Who asked him to be the eldest among them?
Cui Shi was anxious, but he couldn't think of a proper solution at the moment. The aristocratic families hadn't come to a conclusion on this matter. He couldn't let Lu Binmi go now, but if by any chance Yang Fan came here, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility no matter which one of them got into an accident.
Zheng Yu said, "He has already done it. Whether he is imprisoned or not, he will not be able to clear his name. Originally, I left him here to wait for the elders to come up with a proper plan, but now that Yang Fan is coming here, once the two of them meet, the situation will be out of control … "
Wang Siyuan said impatiently, "It's all nonsense!"
The bookworm Zheng Yu wasn't angry and continued to finish his nonsense, "Wang Taigong sent a message, naturally, he doesn't want either of them to get into an accident. In my opinion, let's go see Lu Binmi and ask for Yang Fan's wife, and let him go. In short … we can't let Yang Fan and him have a head-on conflict! "
Cui Shi immediately said, "Younger brother is right! At the moment, there is no perfect plan, and there is no way to guess the elders' thoughts. Why don't we act according to younger brother Zheng Yu's suggestion, what do you think? "
Li Shangyin of the Li Family from Zhao County slightly curled his lips and secretly criticized, "Great ambition but little ability, irresponsible, and not afraid of disgracing the name of the Cui Family from Boling!"
…
"Young master, everything is ready!"
Young Master Jiang was sitting cross-legged in deep thought when a guard in white walked in lightly to report. Young Master Jiang spread out his sleeves and stood up.
Under the porch, there were already four carriages parked there. The doors and windows of each carriage were tightly shut, making it impossible to see what was inside. The drivers were the most skilled coachmen, and the horses were majestic and sturdy steeds from the Western Region. Around each carriage, there were an equal number of guards standing there, leading the horses.
The aristocratic families thought that they could subdue him with a slight gesture, but they forgot that cornered dogs would do something desperate, and even more neglected Young Master Jiang's arrogant attitude of not being manipulated by others.
The people arranged in the periphery could not be used. Those people had a close relationship with the aristocratic families, and were not his absolute confidants. Although they usually bowed to him and listened to his orders, this time he was fighting against the aristocratic families. Keeping these people by his side would instead be a disaster, so he planned to exclude these people.
Although these people weren't very reliable, the aristocratic families hadn't come up with a way to deal with him yet. It was also impossible for them to find these people so quickly and directly give them orders from their families. Therefore, these people could only watch from the sidelines as their superior "broke out of prison". How could the aristocratic families' young masters stop his footsteps?
Young Master Jiang subconsciously curled the corner of his mouth. Just when he was about to take a step, he suddenly thought of a person. He immediately waved his hand to call over a trusted guard, and whispered in his ear, "You go, kill Gu Zhuting, and then return to Luoyang by yourself!"
The trusted guard was a Man of Sacrifice from the Lu family. He did not ask for the reason, but just nodded slightly, and flashed away along the long corridor!
…
Cui Shi led the young masters of the aristocratic families to rush to the back of the house, and along the way, he shouted at the servants of the Lu family, "Where is Lu Binmi hiding? Ask him to come out! We know he is here, and we have something important to tell him. Ask him to come out immediately, and don't … "
Before he could finish the word "wrong", four carriages suddenly rushed out of a courtyard in the back of the house. Each carriage was surrounded by seven or eight knights in martial attire, armed with sabers and swords, and rushed in four different directions.
The carriage that came to meet them, the driver of the carriage cracked his big whip, like a bolt of lightning, ruthlessly striking the horse, urging the horse to open its four hooves, and treat the spacious courtyard of the Lu family as a grassland. The wheels rolled over the gravel road, making a "rumbling" sound.
Cui Shi was so scared that he jumped away, and fell into the grass garden. The carriage ran wildly, and the seven or eight warriors in martial attire did not even look at them. Wrapped in a strong wind, the carriage whistled past, and directly shocked Cui Shi, Zheng Yu, and the others.
After a long time, Cui Shi jumped up, and said with surprise and anger, "He … he is so bold! Rebellious, really rebellious! "
Zheng Yu climbed up from beside him, and muttered to himself, "Crazy! Really crazy! Yang Fan is crazy, and Lu Binmi is also crazy! "
Yang Fan, Anu, and Gongsun Lanzhi rode side by side, and just as they rushed to the front of the Lu family's house in Yongping Lane, they saw a large carriage rushed out of the house under the protection of several warriors in martial attire. Yang Fan's eyes focused, and immediately drove his horse to stop it.
The carriage did not stop, and the horse did not stop. Instead, it moved faster. Yang Fan did not stop either, and his saber was already out of the sheath.
Those knights may not know Yang Fan, but when they saw him riding his horse to meet them, and with his saber out of the sheath, they immediately pulled out their respective weapons, and urged their horses to rush to the front of the carriage. The order they received was to escort the carriage out of the city, even at the cost of their lives. When they saw that Yang Fan obviously wanted to stop them, they immediately rushed to kill.
The one who rushed to the front was a knight with a dark face. He was not very tall, but he had broad shoulders and thick arms. He rode steadily on his horse, and he held a thick machete in his hand, which looked very powerful. This thick machete drew a bright arc, and it slashed towards Yang Fan's head.
Yang Fan did not dodge, and he suddenly kicked the stirrup, and the war horse galloped forward. The two horses crossed, and Yang Fan suddenly switched the saber to his left hand. The saber light drew a strange curve in the air, and the big man's saber missed, and Yang Fan's body brushed past.
"Bang!"
The horse continued to rush forward, and the knight on the horse fell to the ground with a loud crash. His ribs had been cut open, and his internal organs and blood were desperately squeezing out from the wide wound. With just one saber strike, he was cut in half.
"Roar!"
A long and narrow saber pierced through the air with a soul-stirring sound of wind and thunder. The knight on the horse stood up and leaned forward, as if he had encountered an irreconcilable enemy. As soon as the two sides saw each other, they began to fight without even saying a word. One wanted to keep people, and the other wanted to escape. It was a life and death battle.
Yang Fan did not shout or shout. After smashing two Lu residences in a row, he was already angry. His face was expressionless, and only his bright eyes flashed with the fierceness of a wild beast. He completely ignored the opponent's violent attacks, and instead of retreating, he moved forward. His body leaned to the side, and his saber slashed the surface of the opponent's saber, leaving a trail of sparks as it slashed towards the opponent's finger.
Without hesitation, Tin Aino caught up with the horse. With a wave of his sword, a sleeve dart pierced through the air and shot towards the face of the knight in front of him. The sword followed closely behind the sleeve dart, but the angle was slightly lowered, and it was fiercely stabbing towards the opponent's throat.
When Gongsun Lanzhi broke into the first Lu residence, she still had some sense of propriety. She only wanted to injure people and not kill them. Along the way, she fought and killed, and by the time she arrived here, her murderous nature had long been aroused. As soon as she saw the opponent rush out of the residence, without saying a word, she rushed towards him, decisive, fierce, and without hesitation. Thinking that her Shimei must be in this carriage, she couldn't help but feel excited. She shook her sword and also fiercely pounced on the other side of Yang Fan.
The three of them formed a sharp triangle, firmly blocking the opponent's path. No matter how furious the opponent was, not only did they not retreat half a step, but they also closed in step by step!
Four carriages drove out of the Lu residence from four different directions. The people stationed at the periphery of the Succession Hall did not receive any orders in advance. They watched helplessly as the headmaster's trusted bodyguards protected a tightly sealed carriage and left. In their hearts, they already had a vague understanding that something big must have happened inside.
Gu Zhuting leaned under a big elm tree, puzzledly looking at the empty door on the right wall. She was the female assassin who had delivered Xiao Man's child.
The headmaster's trusted bodyguards protected a carriage and forcibly rushed out from there, crashing into the carriages that the disciples of the aristocratic families had deliberately parked in front of the door. It was a complete mess. In front of the door, there were people with broken bones and tendons, lying on the ground and wailing. There were people who were covered in dirt and dirt, cursing with lingering fear.
Gu Zhuting slightly narrowed her charming eyes and secretly thought to herself, "Something big must have happened in the hall. The headmaster left without saying goodbye, what should we do?"
Just as Gu Zhuyun thought of this, her figure suddenly swayed and suddenly disappeared like a ghost. A white-robed man who was as thin as a bamboo pole suddenly appeared under the tree. He seemed not surprised by her disappearance, only focused on keeping a straight face, with a flat tone, he said, "Headmaster's secret order!"
On the elm tree, a section of the tree trunk that had an irregular shape moved slightly, and Gu Zhuting's face actually appeared. Then, her entire figure slowly appeared, and she slid down the tree trunk like a snake. She asked in a deep voice, "What's your command?"
