"Hahaha—" Jin Xin laughed wildly.
He pointed at the man who had hit him and said, "Since I was coming here, how could I not be fully prepared? He's one of the top experts in Tianqi, no, it should be them..."
Behind that man, many more burly men appeared, each with a very stable stance, bulging temples, and sharp eyes; it was clear at a glance that they were experts.
"I know you're a master of martial arts, Luo Xi, so I specially spent a lot of money to prepare these for you. You can't fight two fists against four hands, let's see what you do then. Oh, right..."
Jin Xin paused for a moment, then said, "I also know that Luo Xi, your lover Jiu Xian has taken away all the assassins from the Red Mansion. Now, no one can help you."
Is Jiu Xian the leader's lover?
The expressions on the faces of everyone at Chaoyang Manor were extremely strange.
Despite the numerous comments, Luo Xi's expression remained unchanged. He simply raised his eyes to carefully examine the people surrounding them. Apart from the experts, they were all servants and private soldiers, dressed in inconsistent uniforms, suggesting that they were a group assembled from several families.
There were quite a lot of people!
"Are you also going to oppose Chaoyang Manor to the end?" she asked the heads of the other families.
The family heads snorted and turned their heads away, avoiding Luo Xi's eyes, without saying a word, but their meaning was crystal clear.
"Luo Xi, don't waste your energy." Jin Xin looked at her: "Do you know what's most precious during a drought?"
"Water, and coincidentally, I have a huge well that I can't seem to finish no matter how hard I try, hahaha, it's truly a blessing from heaven!"
"So, to avoid dying of thirst, they had no choice but to follow me, while you, after searching for so many days, have found nothing, haven't you?" Jin Xin asked gloatingly.
So that's how it is. Now Luo Xi understood everything. He was indeed lucky. If he guessed correctly, the well should be connected to the underground river.
Those family heads prioritized Jin Xin in everything they did, all for the sake of water.
"Stop talking nonsense, Luo Xi, do you agree or not?" Jin Xin didn't want to delay any longer, lest the people from the Red Mansion receive the news and come over, which would cause him trouble.
"Otherwise, I'll kill those two old bastards first, and then slaughter all of you."
“The head of the family?” Rong Bai glanced at Luo Xi, then at his parents, his face full of struggle.
The items belonged to Luo Xi, and the people were Rong Bai's relatives. Yin Li and the others remained silent.
Xiao Yi had a short temper, but with hostages in their hands, he dared not make a move.
If there were no hostages, that would be great. Even if the other side had a lot of people, their army had been trained for so long, it was uncertain who would win or lose in a fight.
Jin Xin grew impatient and coldly ordered, "Men, cut off one of the Rong family patriarch's arms, otherwise, Chief Luo won't know what to choose."
He can't wait any longer.
"Yes!" The servant holding Master Rong grinned maliciously, raising his broadsword high.
Master Rong didn't say a word from beginning to end; at this moment, he simply smiled and closed his eyes.
"Father—" Rong Bai's eyes were bloodshot as he watched the sharp blade get closer and closer to Master Rong's arm.
Madam Rong fainted from fright.
The people from Chaoyang Manor were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could rush over and kill these people. They all looked at Luo Xi with incomprehension.
Why hasn't the leader given the order yet?
Si Jia, the outsider, was the calmest; he simply looked at Luo Xi with a smile in his eyes.
With someone as intelligent as Chief Luo, it's impossible that she was completely unaware of this.
Moreover, she has remained remarkably calm throughout the events, so it's unlikely that anything bad will happen.
Sure enough, when the knife was still a hand's width away from his arm, the servant froze in place.
Jin Xin was stunned for a moment, then yelled, "Idiot, what are you doing? Hurry up and chop!"
But the man who had been following Jin Xin suddenly changed his expression: "This is impossible, when did you press the pressure points?"
The purpose of inviting them here was to keep an eye on Luo Xi.
But I didn't see her make a move.
"There are many things you don't know." Seeing that the time was right, Luo Xi gave the order without turning his head: "All generals, listen to my command, leave no one alive."
After saying that, he charged towards the experts first.
They arrived just in time. The eyes of those experts lit up. They all said that Luo Xi was highly skilled in martial arts, and they wanted to see just how skilled he was.
Jin Xin was furious, because those so-called experts were held back by Luo Xi alone, and the soldiers of Chaoyang Manor were all extremely brave.
On the other hand, although they had more people, they were all good-for-nothings. Two or three of them couldn't even beat one of the other side, and the battlefield instantly became one-sided.
Seeing the situation was not good, the other family heads turned and ran, but Xiao Yi didn't give them a chance and rushed over with his weapons.
Those family heads were pampered and didn't know martial arts, so how could they be a match for Xiao Yi, who had been a bandit for many years? He took them down one by one with ease.
Jin Xin's expression changed drastically. Could it be that the duck he had almost caught was about to fly away?
No, even if he fails, he will never let that bastard Rong Bai get away with it.
As Jin Xin ran towards Master Rong, he roared, "Hey you over there, hurry up and kill those two old bastards from the Rong family!"
"That fat bastard!" Rong Bai cursed under his breath, ignoring the guards protecting him, and pounced on Jin Xin, pinning him to the ground: "Jin Xin, you bastard, I'll beat you to death."
He used both his hands and feet, grabbing and kicking, each punch landing squarely.
Jin Xin was nearly knocked unconscious by the beating, yet he still laughed wildly: "Hahaha, what's the use of you hitting me? The servants have already killed them all, hahaha...haha..."
However, when he looked up, he found that the Rong couple had already been rescued by Luo Xi, and none of the so-called experts he had invited were still standing.
"Bastard! Liar!"
Jin Xin was furious. What kind of expert were they talking about? They were all killed in the blink of an eye. That's what you call an expert.
Rong Bai was relieved: "Hahaha, serves you right!"
"Dare to mess with me? I'll beat you to death!" He raised his fist and punched Jin Xin's fat face again and again, determined to vent all the anger in his heart.
Seeing that he could handle it alone, Luo Xi stopped interfering and only sent the two elders of the Rong family to a safe place. Then she watched Xiao Yi lead his men and those servants and private soldiers in a final battle.
"Boss, you...were you prepared all along?" Yin Li had already noticed something amiss.
"More or less." Luo Xi nodded. "I only got the news a few days ago. I was hoping to take this opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, to stop them from always making trouble behind the scenes, but..."
She looked at Master Rong beside her and said, "I didn't expect them to arrest you."
Master Rong waved his hand dismissively, not taking it to heart at all: "Chief, there's no need to blame yourself. I understand. When doing things, who can be completely flawless?"
"Besides, thanks to our boss, we're all doing fine right now."
Luo Xi smiled. "Master Rong is no simple man either."
