"There's a traitor among us. Young Master must return to Luoyang immediately. Young Master has instructed you to do something. You … "
The white-clothed man's expression was solemn. His voice grew softer and softer as he moved closer to Miss Gu. Miss Gu subconsciously tilted her ear, but the white-clothed man suddenly leapt up and grabbed the top of her head.
Young Lady Gu was quite beautiful, and her figure was curvaceous in all the right places. However, this white-robed man didn't have the slightest intention of showing pity to the fairer sex. He firmly held Young Lady Gu's head in place with one hand while his other hand suddenly clasped her round and small chin, forcefully twisting it to the side.
With a crack, Miss Gu's neck let out a crisp sound. She stared at the white-clothed man in disbelief with her eyes wide open. Just like You Haiyang the night before, her body had already gone limp uncontrollably.
"Rustle, rustle ~"
A series of rustling footsteps could be heard. Slightly startled, the white-clothed man raised his leg and kicked Miss Gu's chest, sending her slumped body deep into a blossoming chrysanthemum bush.
A guard carrying a sword walked out from behind the bushes. He was here to patrol the various hidden posts. When he saw the white-clothed man, he couldn't help but be startled. He recognized the white-clothed man as the young master's trusted guard. He quickly scanned the surroundings and asked in surprise, "Where's Zhu Ting?"
The white-clothed man nonchalantly said, "Young Master has a secret order for her to do something."
The guard said with an "oh" and said, "I'll send someone else over."
The white-clothed man said coldly, "There's no need! Young Master has left due to an urgent matter. Wait for news at the Lu Residence. Someone will inform you when you'll return to Luoyang! "
"Yes!"
The guard bowed with his sword, and the white-clothed man walked away as if there was no one else around …
Outside the Lu Residence, the bitter battle continued.
Of the seven warriors, three had already been killed. Two of the remaining four were injured, but their eyes were bloodshot with killing intent. All they cared about was protecting the carriage as they charged out. The coachman on the carriage no longer whipped the horses. Instead, the large whip whistled through the air, ruthlessly lashing at Yang Fan and the others. His skill was actually quite good.
One of the Imperial Bodyguards spurred his horse forward, his long saber swept horizontally, whistling as it swept toward Yang Fan's neck. Yang Fan hid in the stirrup, the saber moved from bottom to top, stabbing diagonally toward the Imperial Bodyguard's heart. The Imperial Bodyguard leaned back to evade, Yang Fan's saber brushed past the tip of his nose and pierced the air. However, the two horses moved in the stirrup, Yang Fan pulled his wrist and sank his saber, using the 'drag' stance, the saber cut down from the Imperial Bodyguard's nose, mouth, chest, all the way down.
The two fast horses charged at full speed. Although Yang Fan's' drag 'wasn't a slash, it was more powerful than a slash, directly cutting open the Imperial Bodyguard's stomach.
Gongsun Lanzhi let out a whistling sound, jumped up from the horse, and spun in the air. Her four-foot-long sword was like a raging flame, wild and fierce. She fiercely knocked away the long saber in the hands of one of the Imperial Bodyguards and stabbed toward the coachman. The coachman saw an obviously sharp sword stabbing toward his face. He couldn't help but let out a strange cry, leaned sideways, and his whole body jumped out of the carriage.
Gongsun Lanzhi's body sank, and the sword came to a stop. With a 'cha' sound, half of the roof of the carriage was cut off.
"Clang clang clang!"
Ah Nu's weapons clashed with the Imperial Bodyguards, the sound was as dense as a shower. From time to time, there were flying knives, short thorns, and strange hidden weapons mixed in between her dancing hands, making it impossible to guard against. A guard barely dodged her sword, and just as he straightened his waist, he saw a cold light with a bright red tassel shooting toward his throat.
It was too late for the guard to turn his body to dodge. When he saw it, the hidden weapon had already shot out. A dart was nailed right in his throat. The three-inch long dart completely sank into his throat, leaving only a red tassel on the outside. There was no blood groove on the dart, not even a drop of blood splashed out.
Ah Nu immediately raised her hand, and a shining long chain was thrown out. A flying claw firmly clasped the gap made by Gongsun Lanzhi.
"Hai!"
Ah Nu clamped her legs together to stabilize her body, and pulled with one arm. With a 'boom', the baffles on all sides of the carriage were torn apart by her. A big man was sitting in the carriage with a saber across his knees. Suddenly, the carriage was shattered. With a strange cry, the man leaped into the air, and combined with the saber, turned into a thunderbolt, and fiercely struck at Yang Fan who was closest to the carriage.
Several other guards pulled the reins at the same time, stopping the momentum of the charge, and encircled Yang Fan, Ah Nu, and Gongsun Lanzhi. The order they received was to break out of the encirclement if the carriage was destroyed, and kill if the carriage was destroyed. Now that the carriage was destroyed, the first mission had been completed, and they only had one thing to do: kill!
Up until now, they hadn't run far from the gate of the mansion. Fortunately, the Lu Family's mansion was huge, and behind the entire wall was the Lu Family's manor. There were no other houses in the alley, and no pedestrians on the road. Otherwise, if one person screamed and ran out of the alley, the whole square would have been alarmed.
Since the beginning of the battle, these people already knew that they were no match for the man and two women. The order given to them by the young master was to kill, and if they couldn't kill, then they could only be killed. Those who were about to be killed were even more ferocious than those who killed them. They desperately and crazily rushed forward, hoping that even if they couldn't kill their opponents, they could at least 'bite' off a piece of their flesh.
The three old men, Li Taigong, Wang Taigong, and Zheng Taigong, rode on the carriage, and met another Cui Taigong, Qinghe Cui. The four old men rushed towards Yongping Lane like they were racing horses. By the time they arrived at the alley where the Lu Family's compound was located, Yang Fan and the other two had just rushed into the Lu Mansion with their horses.
A ferocious-looking man, who was wearing a black headband with gold ornaments on his forehead, raised a large saber and glared fiercely at the carriages of the four old men. He seemed to be able to hold off ten thousand enemies by himself.
The four white-haired old men's bodyguards were shocked, and hurriedly rushed to the front with their horses. One of them jumped off the horse and held the knife across his chest, shouting in a stern voice, "Stop …"
"Gululu …"
The fiendish looking burly man's body swayed, and a head suddenly fell down along with a cloud of blood mist, rolling to the foot of the burly man.
This man's neck had been cut by the scabbard used by Ah Nu. The blade passed through, but the head didn't fall off. It was indeed a divine weapon that could cut through hair.
Even though the car the four old men were sitting in had good shock absorbers and the car had an unusually soft cushion, it was still going to fall apart after running all the way. After the carriage stopped, they were still swaying in the carriage like roly-poly toys, and they didn't climb out for a while. Otherwise, the scene might have scared the four old men.
Although they had great power, they didn't have the chance to kill someone themselves, and they didn't even have the chance to see someone kill someone with their own eyes. The scene just now was definitely a big shock to them.
When they were helped out of the carriage, the corpses were already on the ground, their heads separated from their bodies, and the ground was covered in blood. Even the carriage was in pieces. Although it looked scary, it was not as scary as watching a person's head fall to the ground.
Li Taigong took a deep breath and steadied his mind. With a serious expression, he ordered, "Leave someone to seal off the news. The rest of you, follow this old man into the mansion!"
Immediately, someone ran back to the end of the long alley to stop people from entering. Another person got off the horse and hurriedly carried the corpses and the broken carriage back to the Lu mansion. Then, they hurriedly shoveled soil over to cover the blood stains on the ground. There were also people looking around to see if there were other households in this alley, and if there was a pavilion built high up in the garden that could see this place, in order to cover up everything that had happened here …
The four old men broke into the Lu mansion, and called for someone to help them stagger straight to the back of the mansion. Halfway there, they saw Cui Shi, Zheng Yu, Wang Siyuan, Li Shangyin, and the others dejectedly walking over.
After Yang Fan brought Ah Nu and Gongsun Lanzhi to break into the Lu family with a murderous look, Cui Shi had originally planned to delay him for a while, so that he wouldn't catch up to Lu Binmi. Although Lu Binmi had escaped, the monk could run, but the temple could not. The more extreme Lu Binmi was now, the more severe the punishment from the aristocratic families would be.
But if he were to fight with Yang Fan now, no matter who died, there would be no way to resolve this matter peacefully. Once the matter could not be suppressed and was exposed, it would be a battle between the imperial power and the aristocratic families. If the matter was suppressed and not exposed, it would cause a huge internal division in the aristocratic families. He was not stupid, and was very clear of this point.
But, he could not stop the bookworm Zheng Yu by his side.
After being shouted at by Yang Fan, Zheng Yu the bookworm panicked and told the truth. Yang Fan had just stopped a carriage outside the mansion. At this time, comparing the two, he naturally believed Zheng Yu's words. When he heard that there were three carriages escaping in three different directions, he immediately turned pale with fright, and immediately chased after them.
Cui Shi was trembling with anger, but Zheng Yu the bookworm still said things like "those who do not believe in their words, do not act according to their actions", "people who do not believe in their words are speechless", "sincerity is the way of heaven; sincerity is the way of man", and so on. Cui Shi was too lazy to talk to him, and hurriedly walked forward, wanting to find his family head to report the situation. But, in the end, he encountered four frantic old men.
As soon as the four old men saw this group of aristocratic children, they immediately stopped and asked at the same time,
"Where's Lu Binmi?"
"Where's Yang Fan?"
"Who killed who?"
"Perished together?"
The four old men stopped talking at the same time, and then opened their mouths at the same time, asking the same question. After asking, they stared at each other, not knowing if they should repeat for the third time.
Fortunately, the four old men's voices were high and low, coarse and soft. Even though they asked twice in unison, the younger generation could still clearly hear what they were asking. Their respective younger generation also rushed forward to answer their ancestors' questions.
"Great Grandfather, Lu Binmi forced his way out of the mansion!"
"Great Grandfather, Yang Fan is fine, he has already chased after her!"
"Great Grandfather, don't worry, no one died, Lu Binmi has already escaped!"
"Great Grandfather, the two of them did not meet at all!"
After the few young people finished answering, they were all stunned at the same time.
Great Grandfather Li shouted unhappily, "Ask one by one, answer one by one! I'll go first! "
After saying this, Great Grandfather Li took a step forward and said, "This old man …"
"Bang!" With a loud explosion, "this old man" exploded in the backyard of the Lu Residence. Hearing this, Great Grandfather Li raised his head and squinted his presbyopic eyes to look at the sky. A beautiful firework exploded in the sky …
As soon as Lin Zixiong saw the firework, his expression changed, and he hurriedly whispered something to Great Grandfather Li. At the same time, those around the four old men who knew the function of the firework also hurriedly explained it to the family head. The old men's expressions suddenly changed, and they said in unison, "It must be Yang Fan, let's go!"
The aristocratic children looked around blankly, thinking to themselves, "What does this have to do with Yang Fan? Yang Fan has already gone to kill Lu Binmi. "
Their minds were in a mess, and they had no time to ask questions at this time. They hurriedly chased after the four old men.
Lively!
The Lu Residence was really lively now!
