Chapter 265 Where's my knife?
The Bai and Lie families were loyal to each other; one raised horses, and the other forged knives.
The two families maintained the stability of Fengyun City, and no one dared to cause trouble.
Even in turbulent times, Fengyun City has always maintained a delicate balance.
Stability and harmony.
In the past, when maritime trade was thriving, Fengyun City was comparable to the Jiangnan region.
However, since the new emperor ascended the throne, a period of turmoil has occurred, the Hu family has risen to power, and the people of Fengyun City are terrified of the city.
High walls were erected, but tyrants ran rampant.
When Grandpa Lie was still alive, he tried to join forces with Grandpa Bai to fight against the Hu family.
Unfortunately, Mr. Lie passed away early, leaving Mr. Bai to struggle on.
"Bai Jiu, I don't have much time left. If we fail today..."
"Take everyone to Guanzhou to assist Lord He, do you understand?"
Old Master Bai withdrew his gaze and looked firmly toward the gate.
"Guards, bring me a knife!"
The steward behind him, with a heavy heart, took out the long sword that the old man had sealed away.
"Old man!"
"Bai Jiu, the future of Fengyun City is in your hands."
Having said that, Old Master Bai gripped his long knife and walked towards the gate without looking back.
His once tall figure had become hunched over, and his long sword was now as tall as him.
Bai Jiu rubbed her eyes and turned to walk in another direction.
The commotion at the Hu family alerted the Li and Lie families. When Lao Ji came looking for Yun Zhao, Yun Zhao was feeding Xiao Qing.
"hiss!"
Hearing the noise, Xiaoqing quickly propped her head up.
"Something's happened to the young master!"
Yun Zhao gently patted Xiao Qing, letting it return to his sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
Old Ji came in from outside, looking grim.
"The Hu family is leading a large force to the Bai family; they are probably going to declare war on the Bai family."
"Did you bring any wild animals?"
"They brought them, and it's said there are dozens of ferocious beasts! Now everyone in Fengyun City is staying indoors, and even the city gates are sealed off!"
Old Ji had been in Fengyun City for over a decade and had never seen anything like this before.
"In that case, Bai Jiu should send someone to find me."
Yun Zhao calmly got off the armchair, which was a bit high.
Just as she was about to jump, Lao Ji instinctively stepped forward and pulled her down.
Yun Zhao was taken aback.
Why does it seem like everyone's gotten used to hugging her?
"Thank you, Uncle Ji!"
Yun Zhao smiled sweetly and began to reach into her pocket.
Old Ji smiled knowingly as he watched her lower her head, seemingly taking something out.
Having a daughter is so adorable!
Yun Zhao, unaware of his thoughts, took out a bone flute from the small pouch on his chest and summoned the falcon.
He then sent Falcon outside the city to find Xiao Ying and Scarface before going out to wait for Bai Jiu.
Old Ji followed beside her and watched the whole thing unfold, unable to contain his astonishment.
"Young Master's beast taming skills are even better than the strongest beast tamer in the Hu family!"
"I didn't tame any animals~"
Yun Zhao shook his head.
"But just now..."
"I was just putting myself in their shoes. I rescued them from the clutches of the Hu family, so they're grateful and will help me out in return."
Yun Zhao spoke as if it were perfectly reasonable, but Lao Ji didn't quite understand.
Is that all?
But he felt that the falcon didn't seem to be helping her at all; rather, it seemed to be trying to please her.
Before Lao Ji could ask any more questions, the back door of the Li family's gambling house was slammed shut.
"It should be Bai Jiu, right?"
Old Ji sent someone to open the door, and sure enough, Bai Jiu was so anxious that he prepared to climb the wall.
“Yun Zhao…”
"I understand, the Hu family is planning to attack your family."
Yun Zhao stood there calmly, looking like a wise hermit.
What's the current situation with the Bai family?
Old Ji asked.
"My father told my fifth brother and the others to take the elderly, women, and children and leave first."
He and my third brother are stalling for time. He sent me to find Yun Zhao and figure out a way to take down Hu Family Fortress.
Bai Jiu's eyes were red-rimmed, and she looked like she was about to cry.
He was worried about his family.
"Uncle Lu."
Yun Zhao turned to look at Lu Xun, but Lu Xun shook his head.
"With my abilities, I cannot save his family."
One or two might still have a chance, but dozens of wild beasts, plus so many people from the Hu family.
"Uncle Lu, how about this, you take Xiaohua there, and then..."
Yun Zhao leaned close to Lu Xun's ear and whispered something.
Lu Xun raised an eyebrow at her, as if asking, "Are you sure you want to get involved?"
Yun Zhao nodded heavily.
The Hu family took dozens of wild beasts out with them, showing no regard for the safety of other people.
If the wild beasts are exposed to blood and injured, then even she, let alone the animal tamer, might not be able to control so many ferocious beasts.
This will inevitably affect the local residents.
If such a person were to completely control Fengyun City...
Not to mention Fengyun City, nearby villages and towns will definitely be affected as well.
She didn't know what Fengyun City was like in her previous life, but in this life, she had already become involved in the fate of the Bai Liehu family.
If given the chance, she hopes good people can live well.
The city's residents fled home in panic, while the leopard and tiger, led by the falcon, rushed to the Li family's gambling den in the shortest possible distance.
At this time, all the thugs of the Li family gambling house in Fengyun City had gathered inside the gambling house.
When the tiger and leopard climbed over the wall and came in, most people were in the backyard.
"My goodness! What is this thing?!"
Everyone was shocked when a huge falcon flapped its wings and landed on the shoulder of the little baby in the crowd.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoying!"
"roar!"
The tiger and leopard roared and came through the crowd to her side.
"Thanks for your hard work, Scarface and Little Flower too~"
Yun Zhao touched the leopard and the tiger, and they rubbed their heads against her palm.
The beast was so docile in her hands that everyone present was instantly stunned.
Yun Zhao whispered a few words in the leopard's ear and took out a small cloth bag from the side.
Here, for you~
She tied the cloth bag to the leopard's chest, like she was putting a bib on it.
"Hehe, so cute!"
I rubbed the leopard's head, and the leopard actually made a gurgling sound in its throat!
"Uncle Lu, please help me!"
Lu Xun nodded slightly and led his group and the leopard straight to the Bai residence.
Just as Lao Ji was about to pick Yun Zhao up, he saw the tiger lie down, and Yun Zhao climbed right up onto it.
I climbed up!
"My goodness! Wild beasts are as docile as kittens here with our little boss!"
"No wonder he was able to save our Master Li's life!"
"It's such an honor for us to work for such a great young company!"
Suddenly someone shouted something, and the others followed suit, chanting slogans.
"It's an honor, an honor!"
Scarface was so startled that he bared his teeth.
Yun Zhao: ...
There's no need to do that.
Seeing Yun Zhao's bewildered expression, Lao Ji suppressed a laugh and said, "Alright, let's go to Hu Family Fort and destroy that old scoundrel Hu's lair!"
"Let's go, Scarface, let's raid their hideout!"
Yun Zhao waved his little fist, and Scarface took off running.
Hujiabao was quite far away, but Falcon directed the flight from the air, and Scarface sped away, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
Only Zhuge Yue, seeing that the scarred man was gradually widening the distance, leaped up and used her lightness skill to catch up.
"The people the young master brought are all experts!"
"And they even exclaimed, 'Hurry up and chase after them!' How embarrassing!"
Old Ji gritted his teeth and chased after them desperately, wielding a large knife.
Hu Yiyang probably never expected that someone would dare to break into his lair.
At this time, there were not many people left in Hujiabao.
The falcon flew over the wall of Hujiabao and soon flew out again, landing on Yun Zhao's shoulder.
The man and the bird whispered to each other for a long time, and a sly smile flashed in Yun Zhao's eyes.
"Oh wow? This looks fun!"
