When Li Kunge saw the suddenly appearing hidden weapons, he was startled and quickly rolled forward to dodge them. He sneered inwardly, thinking that he was lucky to have sensed something was wrong and was prepared.
However, the next second, a series of horrific screams rang out from inside the house.
He looked back and discovered that several hidden holes had appeared on the wall that was originally covered with lifelike murals.
At this moment, crossbow bolts and hidden weapons were constantly shooting out from the small hole, injuring many unsuspecting guards.
The young masters were also startled and were trying to dodge in all directions, which directly broke through the defenses that the guards had worked so hard to form.
At that moment, the hidden weapons and crossbow bolts inside those small holes were launched outwards even faster.
Instantly, many of Li Kun's guards collapsed to the ground, lifeless, their faces turning bluish-purple and their wounds black—something was clearly wrong.
Upon seeing this, Li Kunge immediately realized what was happening and shouted, "The hidden weapon is poisoned!"
After saying that, he quickly dodged the hidden weapon that was shot at him and hid behind a pillar to the side.
Unfortunately, his warning came too late. Many guards were injured by the sudden projectiles and crossbow bolts, and they fell to the ground, slowly losing consciousness as the poison spread.
Li Kunge was immediately enraged and looked at the person in the main seat, saying, "And who are you to dare to sneak into my mansion?"
"Guards! Seize this villain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants who had been guarding outside the door rushed in, each carrying a long sword to block the constantly shooting crossbows, and all rushed towards Likunge.
Likunge immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before they could even rejoice, the windows that had been tightly closed were suddenly smashed open from the outside with a "bang," and several figures rushed in and began fighting with the servants, stopping them in place and preventing them from moving an inch.
Li Kunge realized something was wrong. He knew that the current situation was not a good time for a direct confrontation, so he quickly circled around from behind the pillar and ran towards the window.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimian quickly chased after him, holding only the curved dagger in her hand.
Just then, several vases were thrown at her.
Jiang Yimian had no choice but to bend down to avoid the vase. Before she could even stand still, two figures rushed over and blocked her way, wielding long knives and slashing at her, trapping her in place.
Jiang Yimian frowned slightly, but the two people in front of her were rather troublesome. They were not like the simple guards; they should be Li Kunge's secret guards.
Every move he made trapped her in place, preventing her from advancing an inch.
Seeing that the person was stopped, Likunge breathed a sigh of relief and leaped straight towards the carved window.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimian disregarded the obstruction in front of her, dodged the two men's attacks, and pounced straight towards Li Kunge.
The two guards didn't expect Jiang Yimian to risk injury to do this. They immediately sneered, grabbed their long swords, and quickly stepped forward to slash at the other's back.
With those two stabs, this woman would be either dead or skinned alive.
Just as the long sword was about to fall, an iron rod blocked both swords, preventing them from getting any closer to Jiang Yimian.
Lu Cijian, holding half an iron rod, directly blocked the two knives and stood in front of Jiang Yimian in a protective stance.
Seeing that something was wrong, the two guards did not leave. They exchanged a glance and then quickly pounced forward.
One continued attacking Lu Cijian, while the other pretended to run away, but then turned around and slashed straight at Jiang Yimian.
However, before the long sword could even touch Jiang Yimian, it was blocked by Lu Cijian, and the person who attacked him was also hit hard by the iron rod.
Immediately, the man clutched his abdomen and staggered back a few steps.
The other man frowned as he looked at the hand gripping the long sword, feeling his arm go numb with each impact with the iron rod.
Lu Cijian ignored their dissatisfaction and swung his long staff again.
In stark contrast to his previous gentle demeanor, he swiftly swung the iron rod in his hand at the two men, striking them repeatedly.
The two guards swiftly dodged the iron rod, barely avoiding each strike, unaware that they had already returned to the center of the private room.
Just then, several more hidden weapons shot out from the small hole in the wall, heading straight for the two guards.
By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late to dodge.
With a "thud," the hidden weapon pierced into the bodies of the two men.
Lu Cijian kicked the two of them away.
Jiang Yimian then grabbed the person who was trying to escape.
Li Kunge only felt an extra resistance on his legs, and before he could shake the person off, he was instantly slammed to the ground.
Before he could even recover from the intense pain of his body hitting the ground, a gleaming curved dagger was already pressed against his neck.
Li Kunge immediately glared at the people in front of him and said angrily, "Who are you? How dare you lay a hand on me? Release me now!"
Stop now, and I'll spare your lives.
He never expected that the dancer was not only alive, but also knew his double.
How could Aguzan possibly infiltrate his people into his residence, unless...?
Unless, his double was switched out halfway through.
On the way to this Desire Immortal Pavilion, his secret guards were on high alert, along with so many servants from the Likun Mansion, so there was absolutely no chance for anyone to switch the goods.
When was this stand-in replaced?
The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. He suddenly came to his senses and asked incredulously, "Are you from the Desire Immortal Pavilion?"
Aside from that reason, he really couldn't figure out how the stand-in could have been replaced so secretly, right under the noses of so many people.
No wonder that stand-in was so familiar with the layout of the Desire Immortal Pavilion, no wonder he was able to quickly find the mechanism on the armrest.
Lu Cijian merely raised an eyebrow, remaining silent, thus tacitly acknowledging the other party's conjecture.
Yuxianlou is indeed an asset of Moge.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to switch the double in advance.
When he realized that something was wrong with Li Kunge, he ordered someone to secretly tamper with the man's belongings and knock him unconscious while he was using the toilet.
Once he confirmed that it wasn't the real Li Kun Ge, he immediately decided to impersonate Li Kun Ge's double.
In retrospect, his decision back then was correct.
Jiang Yimian was momentarily stunned, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
If Yuxianlou hadn't been owned by Moge, they would all have perished here today.
Seeing that Wang San and his men were still fighting with the guards of Li Kun Mansion, Jiang Yimian coldly looked at the people on the ground and said, "Tell your men to stop, or I will kill you right now."
As he spoke, the sharp dagger pressed even harder against the other man's throat.
Li Kunge was startled and felt a chill on his throat. He immediately roared, "Stop it, all of you!"
Upon hearing this, the group, who had been fighting fiercely, finally stopped what they were doing.
