388 Lianxiu Xiusan

He Chen smiled gently and nodded.

The lion-horse was overjoyed after eating the feed and the animal pills, and it bellowed several times.

It moved closer, its enormous head gently stretching out.

Tao'er curiously stroked it with her hand.

Xiuxiu also touched it with curiosity.

With a gentle stride, he carried the two of them onto the lion-horse, with Xiuxiu in the middle and Tao'er in front.

Gently embracing Xiuxiu, the lion-horse slowly landed.

He rode the lion-horse slowly out of the city.

The city guards and soldiers surrounding the Five Directions Tower stood solemnly, their eyes fixed on the tower, as if protecting it or awaiting orders.

The lion and horse strode forward, and those who had not received orders voluntarily cleared the way and stood on both sides.

They stood at attention with their spears, not daring to make any other movements.

"This is a murderous monster! What are you doing? Arrest him immediately and kill him on the spot!"

A young voice roared, pointing at the standing soldiers and shouting, venting his dissatisfaction.

"I am the young master of the Wei family. They wouldn't even let me in the door. Now they're swaggering out. Are you just going to watch the murderer leave like this?"

Do you even respect the law? Didn't you hear my orders?

The elegant young nobleman was extremely agitated at this moment, shouting loudly and shrilly, almost hysterically.

'Do you know who my grandfather is? He's Wei Shaobao! Are you all deaf?'

"Quickly, shoot him with arrows, kill him!" came the harsh, grating roar, like that of a wild beast, issuing a forceful command.

Behind him stood nearly a hundred servants, fully armed and exuding a powerful aura, glaring angrily at the soldiers blocking their path.

But he dared not rush forward. His anger was palpable.

An elderly elder with a pointed snout and prominent cheekbones stared at He Chen and Lian Xiuxiu with a sinister and lewd gaze.

He said in a gloomy voice, "I am the eldest elder of the Wei family and I am acquainted with your city lord. The murderer is here now. This person killed the Third Prince."

If you let this person go, it would be a capital offense.

Apprehending this person is the right thing to do.

There was no answer, only silence and the lion-horse moving slowly and leisurely.

Lian Xiuxiu gently leaned against her lover's chest, shifting to a more comfortable position.

Her eyes were dreamy and filled with love as she gazed at her lover. In her eyes, there was only her lover; nothing else mattered at this moment.

Seeing himself being ignored and Lian Xiuxiu not even glancing at him, the eldest elder of the Wei family was filled with rage.

She thought maliciously, 'Once I kill your lover and bring you to my manor, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead.'

Looking at Lian Xiuxiu's unparalleled temperament, he couldn't help but admire her.

The soldiers on both sides were completely silent, standing in neat rows with their spears on the ground, their eyes fixed firmly and solemnly ahead, their muscles seemingly ready to obey orders at any moment.

Without orders, people will not move.

A tense atmosphere hung in the air, like the calm before a storm; the sharp glint in their eyes betrayed their vigilance against the ever-changing situation.

At that moment, a soft whooshing sound rang out, and Commander Sun arrived, carrying a knife and looking hurried.

His eyes were fixed on He Chen, filled with deep apprehension.

Deep down, he couldn't believe it. Killing the young master was still possible, but this third prince, a royal prince, was definitely not to be spared.

However, too many things happened tonight: the palace was attacked, resulting in heavy deaths. More importantly, what about the royal family's reputation? At this moment, all parties remained silent.

Furthermore, the royal city's troops acted without authorization—no, it should be said that someone mobilized them. I dare not investigate who mobilized them, nor is it something I can get involved in.

He thought to himself, 'Mr. Yun, this is not something I can overthink.'

His eyes were filled with fear, and the immense, immeasurable power he felt was irresistible. He couldn't let his subordinates die in vain.

The Hou family, the Third Guard, has already suffered enough deaths.

He said loudly, "Elder Wei, you are mistaken. We must naturally follow orders from above. Not just anyone's orders will suffice."

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we can't afford the consequences.

Elder Wei's face grew even uglier, his robes fluttering even without wind, emanating a pressure that spread outwards. He threatened in a low voice, "Lord Sun, my master is none other than Junior Guardian Wei."

Commander Sun sneered, "The affairs of the city guards are not for Elder Wei to command."

He emphasized the words "Grand Elder" with particular force, his expression changed, and he felt a sense of irritation.

'It's one thing if He Chen didn't do much damage, but you, an elder, are also aware that Wei Shaobao is dead and the news is being blocked. I reckon you'll find out soon too.'

If you say another word, don't blame me for being impolite.

Today, I feel very frustrated. It's all because I can't afford to offend them or beat them. It's so painful.

A chilling aura clashed violently.

Young Master Wei was furious and roared, "Fine, fine, when my grandfather comes back, I will definitely report you to the authorities."

You actually dared to let the thugs go.

With a murderous glint in his eyes, he roared, "Men of the Wei family, kill this man today! The Wei family head will avenge himself! Anyone who dares to stand in your way will be killed without mercy!"

After speaking, he looked sharply at Commander Sun.

Sun Tixia's eyes narrowed, showing no sign of backing down or interfering.

Young Master Wei roared, longsword in hand, and shouted, "Follow me and kill!"

Elder Wei followed closely behind. The knife in his hand gleamed coldly, its blade imbued with a powerful aura.

The lion-horse walked briskly, with hurried footsteps and sharp glints of blades chasing behind it.

Xiuxiu leaned gently against him, her eyes fixed on her lover.

Tao'er whispered, "Young Master, they're catching up. Tell the horses to run faster."

She responded softly, "Peach, don't worry, just relax. Remember to close your eyes."

Tao'er was confused, but she obediently closed her eyes and lay in her mistress's arms.

In the blink of an eye, over a thousand dazzling, gleaming blades pierced the night—these were the gleaming, cold light of a gentleman's blade.

Calm and exhilarating, ruthless and wild, relying on a powerful physique, a sharp blade, extreme speed, and extreme strength.

The air was blasted apart, creating a loud boom that echoed through the sky, making it seem like a thunderclap.

With a thousand cuts, Young Master Wei, Elder Wei, and the servants behind them all had their necks severed in an instant, their heads falling to the ground.

The rest of the large swords cut the body in half at the waist, breaking it into three, four, or even five pieces.

Eyes widened, as if in disbelief. Blood splattered, and for a moment, the air froze!

Limbs were scattered everywhere, and blood flowed all over the ground, staining it red.

His body seemed to have been blown to pieces, with blood spraying out and staining the surrounding walls red.

Blood was everywhere, blood splattered everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.

Cruel, cruel.

The soldiers in formation glanced furtively, their eyes completely at odds with their imagined fierce battle.
