As the voice fell, Wei Yunlan took the lead in drawing the long sword in his hand, and he and Suihe protected Gao on the left and right, and rushed towards the back door of Liang Mansion Garden.
The ladies around him also picked up anything they could get to protect themselves. Some picked up a brick, a flower pot, some picked up a stool, or even a pot or a cup.
Seeing this scene, the Liang Mansion guards who had just claimed to protect everyone's safety raised their weapons and stood in front of everyone.
Now, there is no need to quibble any more. It is obvious that there is a big problem with the Liang family!
"You bastards, you are from Yong, but you are colluding with the barbarians." The wife of the garrison commander Sun picked up a teapot and smashed it on the head of the Liang Mansion guard who was blocking her way, cursing, "You ungrateful people, get out of my way!"
This pot of wine failed to completely knock out any of the guards.
Another military officer's wife immediately appeared and placed another stool beside them.
The guard who was barely standing suddenly collapsed with his eyes rolled back.
Mrs. Liang standing by was already dumbfounded.
She had met most of the ladies present several times before. In the previous flower viewing banquet and autumn banquet of Liang Mansion, these ladies had come to show respect to her. At the banquet, each of them was gentle, polite, delicate and well-behaved.
It was completely different from the look of him picking up weapons and fighting with rage in his eyes at this moment.
For the first time, she realized that when the women in the harem became fierce, they were just as fierce as the men!
The guards sent by my aunt to the Liang Mansion were no less skilled than the soldiers stationed in the North. But at this moment they were evenly matched with these female relatives, and it seemed that they were unstoppable.
"Madame Zhou, please escort me away quickly..."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mrs. Liang tried to escape.
Just as he turned around and ran away under the protection of Nanny Zhou and several other maids, he was stopped by a spear thrust straight at him from the side.
The one holding a spear and looking heroic was none other than Huang Yuling, the young lady of the Huang family who almost became her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Ms. Huang, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here..."
Before he could finish his words, Huang Yuling interrupted him sharply, "What kind of misunderstanding could there be? Traitor, where are you running away!"
"Yuling, catch it." Wei Yunlan threw out a ball of hemp rope from his sleeve.
Huang Yuling reached out and tied Mrs. Liang's hands in a few seconds.
There happened to be two guards who stopped the women of Lord Gong's family, and the sword was already at Mrs. Gong's neck.
"Suihe, Mingxuan, you two protect mother and go out first." After whispering the instructions, Wei Yunlan turned around and approached Huang Yuling, raised his sword and put it against Madam Liang's neck, and shouted in that direction.
"stop!"
"Release Madam Gong!"
The cold breath of the sword caused goose bumps on her neck. Mrs. Liang couldn't control her body trembling, and she felt panic and annoyance in her heart.
How did things turn out like this?
What are the people in my aunt's hands and those barbarian spies doing?
It was clearly planned in advance to take these ladies and young ladies hostage.
How come she is the one who has become a hostage now!
The sword tip was less than an inch away from her neck. Mrs. Liang did not dare to struggle, for fear that if she moved too much, the long sword in Wei Yunlan's hand would directly cut her neck.
He had no choice but to stand still and keep winking at the leading guard.
The guard seemed not to notice her gaze and still held Mrs. Gong tightly.
Mrs. Liang felt a chill in her heart and shouted, "Quickly release the man!"
However, the Liang Mansion guards still turned a deaf ear to it.
Mrs. Liang's heart completely turned cold.
It was not until this moment that she finally realized that the guards sent by her aunt would not care about her life or death at all.
This means... her aunt doesn't care about her life or death.
Even though they are related by blood, she is just a chess piece on her aunt's chessboard that can be discarded at any time!
"Mrs. Liang, you'd better be quiet." Wei Yunlan and Huang Yuling tightened the ropes that bound Mrs. Liang, and led everyone to the back door of the garden.
Mrs. Liang was powerless to resist.
I don't understand anything in my heart.
Huang Yuling, who came from a family of military generals, had good spear skills and great strength, but how come Wei Yunlan, who was born in the capital, also had excellent swordsmanship?
In the past, I have never heard that any of the civil officials Wei family, the Xu Guogong Mansion, or the former Tianshi Mansion had ever produced anyone with martial arts skills!
There are more than ten guards in the Liang Mansion here.
Although each of them has impressive skills, they are no match for the wives and daughters of dozens of military generals.
Seeing that they had already reached the back door of the garden and the guards of the Liang Mansion had not yet stopped the group of women, Mrs. Liang felt that the situation was getting out of control.
At this moment, bursts of more intense noises suddenly came from the direction of the front hall. At the same time, footsteps began to be heard in the backyard separated by a wall.
Finally, support came from “over there”!
Mrs. Liang cheered herself up and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although she had been exposed, it would not be a loss if the plan could be completed smoothly.
"Miss Huang, Miss Wei." Madam Liang frowned and said solemnly, "You can't get out. Let me go now, and I can guarantee the lives of you two and your families."
Mrs. Liang did not deliberately lower her voice.
When the person running in front heard this, he couldn't help but pause slightly.
I was a little hesitant, wondering whether I should leave along the original route.
However, Wei Yunlan did not let go of the sword on her shoulder.
"Mrs. Liang, you should just save your energy."
"How do you know that the people coming to support us are those northern barbarian spies?"
Mrs. Liang was startled when she heard this.
The next moment, several black shadows were seen falling from the courtyard wall. They were agile and nimble, and their figures had nothing to do with barbarians.
But my aunt also has a group of assassins...
The sounds of fighting in the front hall gradually stopped, and several shadows rushed over from that direction. They were dressed the same as the people who climbed over the wall two breaths ago.
The last glimmer of hope in Mrs. Liang's heart was shattered when these men in black attacked the guards of the Liang Mansion.
The guards of the Liang Mansion are quite skilled.
The men in black were more powerful than them. In just a moment, all the guards who were standing just now fell to the ground.
Mrs. Liang's face turned pale.
The ladies present breathed a sigh of relief.
They understood that although this group of men in black did not reveal their faces, they were protecting everyone.
Just as everyone was wondering about the identity of these men in black, a man in official uniform and with a serious expression appeared in the garden.
It was Lord Lu, the left deputy director of the Military Intelligence Department who had just arrived in Beiguan last year and took office.
He was the one who personally handled the case of the Northern Barbarian spy captured at the Nanjiao Forest Farm last year.
"So it's Lord Lu's people."
The ladies suddenly understood and felt completely relieved.
Wei Yunlan's eyes flashed, and he realized at this moment that Lord Lu, who was known for his impartiality in the Military Intelligence Department, was a member of Tianshu Pavilion.
