Chapter 202: Spring Dragon Poetry Gathering (Part 9)
To be honest, Yan Shuyuan really had no intention of taking action just now.
Although he had promised Liu Zongliang before, who could have imagined that an ordinary poetry meeting would develop into the current situation.
A thief who killed the prime minister suddenly became a hero in the literary world of Daning.
More importantly, the poem "Spring River Moon Night" Yan Shuyuan didn't know how Wei Changtian could write this poem, but it didn't stop him from being deeply impressed by it.
Taking into account "public opinion" and "personal feelings", Yan Shuyuan decided to let Wei Changtian go.
But now Liu Zongliang who suddenly appeared put him in an awkward situation again.
When he shouted this, anyone could see that he had planned with the Liu family to launch a surprise attack on Wei Changtian tonight to avenge the death of Liu Yuanshan.
It seemed unreasonable not to take action in this situation, but if Wei Changtian was really killed, he would be stabbed in the back by scholars all over the world for the rest of his life. So, what should he do? Frowning and looking at Liu Zongliang who was rushing towards him, Yan Shuyuan was a little entangled for a moment.
However, a sudden palm print immediately made the decision for him.
"The surname is Yan!"
"How dare you kill my grandson! I think you think your life is too long!"
In the air, Qin Zhengqiu suddenly appeared and was already fighting with the terrified Yan Shuyuan.
On the lake, Wei Changtian went straight to the stunned Liu Zongliang without hesitation.
He who strikes first is the strongest; he who strikes last will suffer.
He had already agreed with Qin Zhengqiu that once it was confirmed that Yan Shuyuan was in collusion with the Liu family, they would not have to worry about anything and would just take action immediately! According to the intelligence, Yan Shuyuan was only in the early stage of the second rank, while Qin Zhengqiu was already in the late stage of the second rank, so there was no possibility of him losing.
So Wei Changtian didn't care about the battle situation in the air at all. He held a knife and prepared to kill Liu Zongliang first.
“Swish!”
Sun Moon Lake is not big to begin with, and Liu Zongliang was running towards the center of the lake just now, so the two of them were very close to each other in a blink of an eye.
"You, what's wrong with you?"
"How do I know you're going to kill me tonight?"
Wei Changtian drew out his long sword expressionlessly and slashed it down without thinking: "Go to the underworld and ask the King of Hell!"
“Swish! Puff!!”
Without any obstruction, the long steel sword lifted up half of the body in an instant.
“.”
Liu Zongliang never expected that death would come so quickly. Before his wide-open eyes could even reveal fear, he was already lifeless.
Following his death, chaos instantly broke out on the lakeshore.
More than a hundred Liu family masters saw that their eldest son was killed by Wei Changtian with a single sword strike. They were filled with grief and anger and immediately drew their weapons, ready to rush over for revenge.
But before they could get close to the lake, people from the Xuan Jing Division and the Tian Luo Sect, who outnumbered them several times, blocked their way.
Most of the Liu family members had turned into corpses before they could come to their senses, and the others were also trapped in the battle. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before they died.
As for the three third-rank masters who barely managed to break out, “Hahaha! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Wei Changtian's four uncles were also present today. They laughed and rushed forward to fight back, not giving the three men any chance to get close to the center of the lake.
"Bang!"
“Ding ding dang dang!”
“Ah!! Run for your life!!”
“Help!”
“Go to hell!”
“.”
The sounds of weapons clashing, roars, wails, escapes, and pleas for mercy, in just a dozen breaths, all kinds of chaotic sounds resounded across the shores of Sun Moon Lake.
Thousands of weak scholars fled in all directions with their heads in their hands. Those who were far away were fine, but if they happened to be near the battle area, they would be doomed to be killed by swords and flying limbs and blood.
At this moment, no one would have any scruples just because they were well-read, and no one would put themselves in danger in order not to hurt innocent people.
When two elephants fight, they never care how many ants they kill.
As for Xu Qingwan and others who were involved in this dispute intentionally or unintentionally, "Ding!"
"Sister Xu! It's too dangerous here! Let's go to the center of the lake!"
With a sword, You Jia swung away the knife energy that passed by her side, with an anxious look on her face: "Master Wei is still there, maybe we can help him if we go over there!"
"good!"
Although Xu Qingwan didn't know why the fight suddenly broke out for no reason, as soon as she heard Wei Changtian, she rushed towards the center of the lake with You Jia without thinking.
Fortunately, the direction they chose happened to be guarded by the Xuan Jing Division, so there was no accidental injury to friendly forces.
"Hmm? Miss Xu? Miss You?"
Several Xuanjingsi officers recognized the two and were stunned: "You two are not included in today's mission?"
"We are going to find Master Wei!"
Yujia took the lead and shouted, "Let us pass!"
"Looking for Master Wei."
A more alert centurion reacted immediately and hurriedly ordered several of his men: "You hold this place, I will escort the two girls to the center of the lake!"
"Yes! Sir!"
The others responded in unison and quickly moved aside, keeping on guard against the Liu family's assassins not far away.
This captain obviously wanted to show his face in front of Wei Changtian. After giving his instructions, he prepared to leave with Xu Qingwan and You Jia.
But at this moment, an urgent voice sounded not far in front of everyone.
"Wait! There's me too!"
"stop!!"
The officers from the Xuan Jing Division did not recognize the man and immediately raised their knives and shouted angrily.
However, after Xu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, she quickly went over to meet him.
"Miss Yang, why are you here too?"
"It's a long story!"
Yang Liushi glanced at You Jia and replied hastily, "Let's go find the Master first!"
"Ah! Good!"
Xu Qingwan didn't have time to think about it. After answering Yang Liushi's letter, she went straight to the pavilion in the middle of the lake with You Jia and the centurion.
Four waves cut through the surface of the lake. Xu Qingwan, who was in the most anxious mood, ran in the front, followed by the captain wearing a silver-patterned tiger-dragon uniform.
In the middle are Yang Liushi and You Jia running side by side.
"Miss Yang"
Suddenly, You Jia turned her head and asked meaningfully, "I didn't expect you to be a cultivator as well."
"Miss You, who says that women in brothels can't practice cultivation?"
Yang Liushi looked back and said unyieldingly: "Women like us know best that it is better to rely on ourselves than on others."
"Really?"
You Jia shook her head with a half-smile: "Master Wei would be sad if he heard this."
"I don't know what the young master will think."
Yang Liushi stared at You Jia and said, "But I know I will never do anything that is detrimental to you, young master."
“.”
A lantern was overturned by the waves, and the candle inside it flickered twice before suddenly going out.
Although Youjia's expression did not change, Yang Liushi caught the fleeting murderous intent in her eyes.
The atmosphere between the two women suddenly became precarious, and they fell into a delicate balance between mutual suspicion and temptation.
"Miss Yang, you are really good to Master Wei."
“BOOM!!!”
Before Youjia could finish her words, a loud bang suddenly came from the shore accompanied by rolling waves.
Everyone turned their heads in astonishment, and then saw a dozen figures suddenly appearing on the outskirts of the crowd.
Under normal circumstances, if a third group of people suddenly appears during a battle between two parties, then the two parties fighting before will definitely be happy and worried.
But now it is strange.
Whether it is the Liu family, the Xuan Jing Division, or the Tianluo Sect.
Everyone's eyes were filled with strong vigilance at this moment. It seemed that they did not recognize these dozen experts and thought they were reinforcements for the enemy.
Only Ning Yongnian, who was sitting on the high platform, was different from everyone else.
He slowly sat back in his chair, glanced at Li Huaizhong who was looking shocked, and chuckled:
"I have said that Wei Changtian may not survive tonight."
"this"
Li Huaizhong certainly understood that this was Ning Yongnian's backup plan, but... "Your Majesty! Once this matter is exposed, I'm afraid the Wei family will never let it go! Now that the Xu family is about to rebel, what if the Wei family is added to the mix?"
"Will you not give up? That's what I want him to do."
Ning Yongnian raised his eyes to look at the chaos beneath his feet and clapped his hands gently as if he was watching a play.
"Keep reading and you'll understand."
