Chapter 44: Today is the closest he has ever been to killing the nine clans
In her previous life, she had thought that Deng Xuelian and Jun Wenci were so loving and affectionate, but she had not expected that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had just shown some signs of decline, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unwilling to give her the position of principal wife.
"Ning Ning, don't you plan to catch the adulterer?"
Li Tianzhuo asked curiously.
"No need. If someone wants to be my concubine, I will naturally oblige him!"
Maybe the filter from the previous life was too heavy.
Deng Youning subconsciously had no guard against Li Tianzhuo at all.
When our eyes met, her smile was like a gentle breeze, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.
Li Tianzhuo couldn't help but smile as well.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, there was an inexplicable commotion in the front hall.
The banquet was originally going well, but now everyone is running for the door in panic.
"Run! Someone's going to die!"
"This Zhenguo Mansion is really not peaceful!"
In addition to the guests, the Deng family's servants were also trying desperately to escape.
Deng Youning was stunned by the scene before her.
Li Tianzhuo grabbed a maid and hurriedly asked about the situation.
"Second Miss, Lord Li, you should run too. The bear has gone crazy and is out of control!"
Deng Youning was shocked when he heard this.
After exchanging glances with Li Tianzhuo, he hurriedly ran towards the bear cage.
Li Tianzhuo glanced at Xiu Ming and motioned him to follow and see.
"What happened? Explain clearly."
He stayed and continued to inquire about the situation.
According to what the maid said, this bear is raised by someone special, and they are all He Xiangzhe's people.
But somehow, the bear was released from the cage by someone and bit the trainer. Now no one can control the huge beast.
Several servants and maids who were accompanying the families of several families have been bitten to death.
Three people, including Old Madam Gu, Prime Minister Jian, and He Xiangzhe, were also injured.
Now the Duke and the old lady are fighting with the bear with the guards in their house, trying to capture or kill the bear by force.
After understanding the whole cause and effect, Li Tianzhuo used Qinggong to catch up with Deng Youning and the others.
At this time, all the guards and servants of the Deng family who knew Kung Fu, holding long swords in their hands, formed a circle and trapped the bear in the middle.
Han Qiongyue and Deng Zheng were on the left and right, engaging in close combat with the bear.
Deng Youning saw that her grandmother was also injured, with three wounds on her arm caused by the bear's claws.
Deng Zheng's situation was not so bad. He couldn't do much, and Han Qiongyue was almost the only one fighting.
Nanny Dou must have also fought with the bear and was resting nearby with injuries.
Just look at Han Qiongyue and she is about to be exhausted.
"Grandma, be careful—"
Deng Youning shouted loudly, flew forward, picked up a long knife from the guards, and fought with the bear instead of Han Qiongyue.
Ying Shi was not to be outdone and followed closely behind Deng Youning.
Seeing her coming forward, Xiu Ming rushed forward with sword in hand without Li Tianzhuo's order.
Li Tianzhuo was not in a hurry to join the battle, but first helped Deng Youning settle Han Qiongyue.
"Madam Han, you are injured. This bear claw is not clean. You need to treat the wound as soon as possible."
He supported Han Qiongyue and went to the hall to rest.
Nanny Dou and Deng Zheng also came in.
"Master Li..."
A soft, gentle girl's voice sounded.
A cute little girl crawled out from under the table.
"Princess Wen Ying?"
After seeing the girl's appearance clearly, not only Li Tianzhuo, but also Han Qiongyue and Deng Zheng were extremely nervous.
"Princess, why haven't you left with everyone else?"
Deng Zheng asked hurriedly.
He had just sent people to evacuate the guests in the mansion, but he didn't expect that he had missed one person, and the one he missed was the most deadly one.
Although Jun Wenying was not a favored princess, she was still an imperial princess after all. If anything happened to her, even if the Zhenguo Mansion was not killed by the bear, the entire family would be punished by the emperor!
"My Lord, Madam, I will escort the princess out first."
There was no one else around at the moment, so Li Tianzhuo could only stop this biggest trouble first.
Jun Wenying is also Jun Chenyi's favorite sister.
As unpopular as Jun Chenyi.
She was the twelfth child in the family. Her mother died during childbirth, so she was placed in foster care under the name of the empress and was given the same generation name as Jun Wenci.
She had had several interactions with Li Tianzhuo and felt that Li Tianzhuo was not as rumored by the outside world, so she was not too afraid of him.
"It's not like I'm the only one who hasn't left. There's another one over there!"
Jun Wenying glanced outside the door and saw a man standing under a boxwood tree, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
"Yan An?!"
Following her gaze, Deng Zheng was almost angry to death.
Why didn’t this god leave?
Besides, it was so dangerous outside, why didn't he know to hide inside? !
Deng Zheng felt that today was the closest he had ever been to having his entire nine clans executed.
At this moment, Deng Youning was suddenly slapped by the bear, and the sharp bear claws almost scratched Deng Youning's face. Fortunately, Yan An was quick and threw out a flying knife, which pierced the bear's paw.
Seeing this scene, Li Tianzhuo and Han Qiongyue were both a little stunned.
This Master Yan actually knows martial arts? !
Li Tianzhuo narrowed his eyes. He was the one who helped Madam Han find out the truth last time.
What is the origin of Yan An? Is he a friend or an enemy?
I remember that in his previous life he had always been very well behaved, never caused any trouble, and never got involved in the muddy waters of the Deng family.
"Princess, if you don't want to leave the Deng family, then stay here with the Duke and the old lady, and don't go to the yard." Li Tianzhuo said in a firm and commanding tone.
Jun Wenying was a princess who could be bullied by servants, so she naturally did not dare to disobey Li Tianzhuo's words.
She nodded obediently like a little chicken.
Li Tianzhuo glanced at Deng Zheng and reminded him:
"I'll have to trouble you, Duke, to protect the princess."
"She made a mistake, and the Duke knows the consequences himself."
After explaining all this, he used his lightness skills to fly to Yan An's side.
Seeing that Deng Youning and the other three were having a hard time dealing with the bear, Li Tianzhuo focused on watching the fight.
But he could only watch.
The feeling of powerlessness of being unable to step forward and fight alongside Deng Youning made his hands tremble uncontrollably.
"According to the news from Wuyinglou, the commander-in-chief, Lord Li, doesn't know martial arts. It seems that the rumors are true!"
Yan An, who is good at observing people's hearts, can see that Li Tianzhuo is nervous about Deng Youning, but it doesn't make sense that he doesn't go up to help and just stay here to watch the fight.
Li Tianzhuo felt a little panicked when his weakness was exposed.
Wuyinglou?
Isn't that a brothel?
How did they know the secret that I don’t know martial arts?
No one else in the entire capital knew this secret except his two personal guards, Xiu Ming and Jiang Yuan.
Including the emperor!
Although his heart was in a mess, Li Tianzhuo's face remained calm.
"I didn't expect that the usually serious Master Yan could be so good at joking!"
Li Tianzhuo's voice was low and he already sounded unhappy.
"I just saw your flying knife, it's really quite skilled. Don't you want to go up and help?"
He brought the topic back to Yan An.
Yan An's face didn't look very good as his martial arts, which he had hidden for so long, were exposed.
Damn it!
Even he himself regretted why he had rescued Deng Youning just now.
There are thousands of reasons why I want to save her.
But just because her last name was "Deng", he shouldn't have saved her.
However, she is also very different from other members of the Deng family...
While the two were talking, Deng Youning had already flown onto the bear's back and tried to stab it from the back with a knife, but the bear skin was really invulnerable to swords and guns, just as Han Qiongyue said.
She thought that the weapons of the Duke's Mansion were very sharp, and wondered why this bear skin was so special.
Besides, her poison seemed to have no effect on the bear.
"Ningning, attack its nose——"
Li Tianzhuo reminded loudly.
This is also the method Li Tianzhuo saw in ancient books.
Deng Youning jumped off the bear's back upon hearing the sound. When the bear stood up and was about to pounce on her, she used her lightness skills to fly up and cut off its nose with a knife.
