Hearing this, Lu Muran's already pouting lips curled up even more. She finished her glass of wine and then tried her best to recount their past father-son relationship.
It describes how clingy Bai Ze was as a child, how much he missed this and that, making it seem like a happy ending.
After several rounds of drinks, most of the people in Bai Ze's banquet hall were slumped over, both Bai Ze and Lu Muran completely drunk.
In the very end, only Lu Xuwang and his mother remained conscious.
Seeing Bai Ze lying there like a dead pig, Lu Xuwang gave his mother a wink, and then the two of them ordered the servants to carry Bai Ze and his men into the woodshed.
After doing all this, Lu Muran, who was pretending to be drunk, stood up from her seat, a triumphant glint in her eyes.
You brat, you want revenge? Dream on!
That young lad is like a simpleton; he's not afraid of anything.
Once that brat dies, the three thousand men he brought will also fall under his command.
"Master, you're awake. We're just waiting for your command."
After tidying everything up, the mother and son reappeared in the banquet hall. Lu Muran was completely unharmed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Destroy all this evidence. Now, immediately, instruct Huang Jinxi to proceed according to plan."
Lu Muran picked up a mandarin duck teapot and threw it on the ground. After doing this, he strode towards the woodshed. He wanted to make Bai Jinyi's son die with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
“My husband is so thoughtful. So what if they come with great force? They were still easily drugged by our bunch of sleeping pills.”
After a flash of pleasure across Madam Lu's face, her delicate features transformed into one of adoration.
Having spent so much time together, she wasn't going to adopt Bai Jinyi's haughty attitude. Men need to be coaxed; they only feel a sense of accomplishment when they're on a woman's pedestal, right?
Bai Jinyi failed to see this point, so her defeat was not unjust at all.
After being thrown into the woodshed, Bai Ze immediately opened his cloudy eyes. He then quickly woke up the people Liu Ji had brought for him, quietly pushed open the door, grabbed the guard by the throat, and snapped his neck, killing him cleanly and efficiently.
After doing all this, he released a signal flare.
Lu Muran wanted to take him down in one fell swoop, but that depended on whether he was willing!
So when Lu Muran arrived, she saw Bai Ze and his men smiling at her.
"You weren't infected?"
Lu Muran's face was contorted with rage.
"Yes, Father may be disappointed. He wanted to burn me to death, but poisoning would have been much faster. However, you miscalculated. Even if you poison me, we have a solution. How about that? Is this answer satisfactory?"
Bai Ze's thin, sensual lips were extremely beautiful, but the words he uttered were highly provocative; he would never hesitate to use words to infuriate his opponent.
"Hmph! You think you've succeeded? I've given all the soldiers you brought into the city muscle relaxants. You lot won't even be able to leave my Lu residence."
Seeing that the pretense had finally been broken, Lu Muran had nothing more to hide. Today, it was a matter of life and death between the father and son. He still had the upper hand, so why should he be threatened by this brat?
"Is that so? Very well! I hope Father can always be this confident. Since you admit that you want to kill me, then you no longer need to deny the matter of my grandfather and mother. Enough nonsense, draw your sword. Only when you are dead can I take your head to offer as a sacrifice."
After saying these words, Bai Ze drew his sword, channeled all his inner strength, and slashed at Lu Muran.
Lu Muran was a capable assistant to Emperor Taizu in the past, so her martial arts skills were naturally not bad. In an instant, a storm broke out outside the woodshed.
Both father and son used all their strength, wanting the other to die.
At the same time, Liu Ji, leading three thousand men from Feifeng Mountain, also clashed with Lu Muran's men.
That night, Baicheng was destined to be sleepless. The people in the city were all in a state of panic. They knew very well that something had happened at the city lord's mansion. However, in order to save their own lives, they did not even dare to peek out. They all huddled in their rooms, trembling with fear. They knew very well that they, as insignificant people, absolutely could not get involved in the fight between the big shots.
In the middle of the night, because Lu Muran lost the fight, he was unwilling to accept it, so he ordered the steward to burn down the Bai family's ancestral hall. In the past, he still wanted to save face, but now that he was about to die, what did he care about? What did it matter if the entire Bai mansion was burned down?
Revenge? Then let's get revenge.
Although he couldn't fulfill his master's mission, he could maximize the harm he caused, so his death was worthwhile.
"Bai Ze, look, the flames rising from all sides, aren't they spectacular? So even if you kill me, what difference will it make? You'll still lose everything you deserve."
Lu Muran glanced around at his masterpiece, ignoring the sword pressed against her neck, and laughed wildly.
"So what if it's burned down? It's existed for hundreds of years and has already demonstrated its value. The Bai family mansion can be rebuilt later. Father, do you think this will discourage me?"
Bai Ze used his sword to flick the chin of this clown and said nonchalantly.
The house is a minor matter; what's most important is to make this scoundrel die a horrible death, torn apart by five horses.
"Stop being stubborn. Don't think I don't know anything. You do care, hahaha... If you kill me now, it'll be the same thing. The Bai family will still be destroyed in my hands, won't it?"
Seeing his son's calm demeanor, Lu Muran's smile became even more exaggerated. He wanted to provoke him, to drive him mad. Otherwise, he wouldn't be satisfied even if he died.
"Oh!"
Bai Ze snorted mockingly, no longer wanting to listen to this man's nonsense, so he directly pierced the man's throat with his sword. Then, with a forceful slash, he decapitated the man.
After doing all this, he took a deep look at Lu Muran's corpse and actually began to dismember it.
He leisurely picked over the other person's limbs, slowly cut them off, and then set them aside.
After doing all this, he still seemed unsatisfied and directly ordered his stunned subordinates:
"Go get me an axe. Today I'll chop him into mincemeat, put it in a jar, and offer it as a sacrifice to my grandfather's and mother's graves, so they can stomp on this wicked man's corpse."
Bai Ze received a strange look from his subordinate and went to find it as instructed.
An hour later, Bai Ze put Lu Muran's body into a jar and handed it over to his subordinates for safekeeping.
The subordinates took the jars filled with corpses, their necks turning cold and a chill running down their spines. Just how much hatred did their general harbor that he wouldn't even let the dead go?
Bai Ze naturally wouldn't explain his grandfather's death to him, and he didn't care even if no one at the banquet could understand his behavior.
After dealing with Lu Muran, Bai Ze took Lu Xuwang and his mother to an inn, sat them in the main seat, and gave them a cool and icy look, like a judge from hell.
A year ago, he and A-Xiang almost died at the hands of this mother and son. Now their relationship has been reversed. I wonder what his good stepmother and good brother think.
Time passed, and Madam Lu finally broke the silence in the room. Staring into the other person's wary eyes, she finally spoke firmly:
"Kill us or torture us, it's all up to you. We've fallen into your hands today, and we have nothing to say."
