As for the fact that there is no secret passage in the mansion? Why can't I leave through the secret passage?
Of course, but you can’t!
It's useless!
Since Xu Sheng and his team could think of the secret passage, the Shadow Blade Sect naturally thought of it as well!
Generally, secret passages are one or several passages dug underground in one’s own mansion, leading to one or several places outside the city.
This is also the escape preparation that every big family usually arranges.
Just like in the costume dramas Xu Sheng saw on Earth, many people who escaped often fled through secret passages.
People here like this too!
But that’s because it’s too common!
Therefore, countermeasures have already been developed!
As soon as the Shadow Blade Sect entered the city, they had many of their disciples push giant wheelbarrows carrying huge hammers weighing thousands of pounds, and smash the ground around the mansions of the major families, as well as the ground everywhere in the city, frantically!
This kind of wheelbarrow and giant hammer were invented specifically to deal with and crack secret passages!
In addition, it has rained heavily these days, making the secret passages even more fragile and they have long been bombarded and collapsed one after another!
At that time, the Shadow Blade Sect still had a group of men stationed outside the city, monitoring the movements within a ten-mile radius outside the city to ensure that no one, especially the wealthy, could escape through the secret passage!
Even if someone escapes from the city through the secret passage, they will be discovered at the first time, and signal flares will be sent immediately to attract people to encircle and suppress them.
Until all the secret passages in the city collapsed.
The group of people they left outside then rushed into the city!
If not for this, the people of the Jing family wouldn't have had to force their way out in order to have a chance of survival!
Even after the secret passage collapsed before, after those people from the Shadow Blade Sect discovered the secret passage, they wanted to dig through the collapsed secret passage again and kill their way in through the secret passage!
In order to prevent them from succeeding, the Xu family took great pains to block the secret passage!
If it were so easy to escape through the secret passage, all the major families would have escaped through it long ago!
How could the people from the Shadow Blade Sect be outside leisurely besieging the major families now?
As for explosives, muskets, etc., Xu Sheng had thought about inventing them before.
But the former had not even found the raw materials, let alone the latter.
At that time, Xu Sheng was living in a prosperous era with wealth, a large group of guards, and beautiful women on his bed!
There are many experts under his command!
Who would have thought that troubled times would come so quickly?
In short, at that time, no one really put effort into looking for raw materials for explosives or making muskets.
He just casually gave his subordinates instructions, and when their subordinates searched in vain, Xu Sheng gave up.
This has led to us being in trouble now!
Another day passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
Night falls.
"It's not good."
Lu Ba rushed in and said with a grim expression: "The brothers we sent to contact Shadow Blade Sect were bribed by them! A traitor appeared, and with the help of the insiders and the outsiders, the defense line of the mansion was broken, and the people from Shadow Blade Sect rushed in..."
"What?" Xu Sheng's face also turned pale.
He looked at the wives and concubines around him and felt very uncomfortable.
"Ladies, I, Xu Sheng, cannot protect you this time!"
Xu Sheng looked at them and said, "I'm sorry!"
Now, so many years have passed, Liang Xueruo, Lin Cuizhu, Liang Xueruo's two cousins, Yingying, Lingling, Jingxin, Jingxiang, and the eight maids that the Jing family gave to Xu Sheng!
These Xu Sheng women!
They are all over fifty years old!
Although they are basically a few years younger than Xu Sheng!
But now there are some white hair on my head and a few more wrinkles on my face.
Of course, since they have been living the life of a rich wife for so many years, these women of Xu Sheng are still in good shape.
Although she is no longer as young, beautiful and energetic as she used to be!
But now each of them can still be considered charming.
One of Liang Xueruo's cousins said, "Master, you don't have to feel guilty about us. It's enough for me to be able to live with you in wealth for most of my life!"
After saying this, she swallowed the poison and fell down.
Xu Sheng held her with both hands.
Liang Xueruo's other cousin said: "The chaotic world came suddenly, who can escape? Even if we didn't follow you, Master, we would still encounter this chaotic world. Master, you have done a good job!"
After saying that, she also took poison and fell down.
Xu Sheng put the previous one away and held her again.
At this time, Xu Sheng's eyes were already filled with tears.
Lingling also said: "I suffered for nineteen years, and only started to enjoy happiness after following the master in the second half of my life. Master, I should thank you!"
After saying that, she also took poison.
Jing Xiang and Jing Xin said, "We don't regret marrying you either. Xu Sheng, thank you for being so gentle to us sisters for most of our lives."
After saying that, they also took poison.
Yingying cried, "Master, I can't bear to leave you!"
After saying that, she also took the poison.
The same procedure was applied to the eight maids sent by the Jing family!
"When I was young, I was bullied by my elder sister and aunt at home. I had to swallow my anger and be cautious! It was only after I married the master that I began to raise my head in front of my aunt and sister, and even be envied and respected by them! My husband, you have given me a lot!"
Liang Xueruo smiled: “Husband, if there is a next life, I am willing to be your wife!”
After saying this, she also swallowed the poison and fell down.
"I only hate myself for marrying you at the age of 23!"
Lin Cuizhu also held the poison in her mouth. She touched Xu Sheng's face and said tearfully, "Monk, monk. I seem to have seen the year when we first met. I really regret not agreeing to be your legal wife at that time! If there is an afterlife, please marry me first, okay? This time I will definitely agree to you."
"Okay, okay! Okay, okay!" Xu Sheng nodded repeatedly. He supported the limp Lin Cuizhu's body! As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes.
“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”
At this time, a large number of people from the Shadow Knife Sect had already reached the secret room outside the inner courtyard.
“Bang!”
The door of the secret room where Xu Sheng was was knocked open by a figure!
It was Lu Ba who was kicked and flew in!
"Xue Yidao, it's you!!!" Xu Sheng turned his head and looked with red eyes at the bearded, dark-faced, burly, scarred, one-eyed man in front of him who was holding a sharp long knife.
He is not tall, probably only about 1.5 meters!
But there is no doubt that he is terrible!
Being short actually makes his body more agile and his sword faster!
"Xu Sheng! We finally meet!"
Xue Yidao tightly grasped his long sword and said with a fierce smile: "Before the chaos came, did you think I didn't know that you offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver for my head?!"
He raised his hand and pointed at his patched eye: "Your offer is indeed very ruthless! My eye was ruined because of you, do you know that?"
"What? Your eyes are ruined because of me?"
Xu Sheng was also stunned for a moment. He had no idea about this matter.
Back then, Liang Yikun and Xue Yidao met on a narrow road, and the former was stabbed thirteen times by the latter and died on the street at night.
Xu Sheng once issued a bounty order in the name of someone else!
But Xu Sheng did not receive any feedback.
He also thought that his reward had no effect.
But now it seems obvious that his disguise was not successful at all!
Because he was the only person around Liang Yikun who could afford ten thousand taels of silver and was willing to pay so much for his revenge.
And the original reward was not useless!
There was indeed a gangster who was tempted by wealth and went to kill Xue Yidao!
But it is also obvious that those people did not succeed!
Only one of Xue Yidao's eyes was blinded.
"How can I get rid of the hatred in my heart if I don't kill your whole family?"
Xue Yidao gritted his teeth and glanced around, saying, "What a pity, all your women are dead. How decisive! Originally, I wanted you to watch your women being raped crazily by my men, but now it seems that this drama cannot be performed!"
"Don't even think about hurting my brother!!!" At this time, Lu Ba climbed up with his sword in hand, stood in front of Xu Sheng and roared!
Originally, Lu Ba was sent by Liang Yikun to be with Xu Sheng.
That's how I got to know Xu Sheng.
But over the past few decades, with Xu Sheng's deliberate favors and efforts to win him over, Lu Ba had already become Xu Sheng's confidant.
But at this moment he didn't call him Master Xu, but Brother Xu Sheng!
"Myna, today you and I are brothers, we will live and die together!" Xu Sheng also drew out his sword and roared.
The two of them are shoulder to shoulder!
"Hahaha, okay, you and I are brothers, we live and die together!" Lu Ba's eyes also turned red, and he laughed as well.
"kill!"
The two of them joined forces to defend a corner and fought off several men from the Shadow Blade Sect who were surrounding and attacking them!
"Puchi!" It was the first time that Xu Sheng killed someone with his own hands!
Under Lu Ba's cover, he mobilized the power of external force, and the energy flowed through his palm to stab the sword, piercing the throat of a Shadow Knife Sect minion!
As the sword was pulled out and then retracted, blood spurted out from the wound and the enemy fell to the ground!
"Useless! Get out of the way! I'll kill Xu Sheng myself!"
Seeing this, Xue Yidao roared: "Live and die together? I will satisfy you! Let you die together!"
After saying that, he rushed over!
"kill!"
Lu Ba and Xu Sheng also roared.
In the corner of the secret room!
A one-on-two battle begins!
Ding ding ding!
The sound of weapons clashing continued!
fear!
A flash of knife!
Phew!
Lu Ba's throat was cut!
Originally, Lu Ba was also a master at the peak of the acquired realm. He shouldn't be so weak that he was killed in one move.
But he had been seriously injured in the previous battle.
Of course the most important thing is that Xue Yidao is too scary!
His knife is really fast!
"In the next life..." Lu Ba fell to the ground!
"Myna!" Xu Sheng roared and slashed at Xue Yidao with his sword!
clang.
But Xue Yidao, while changing his body, counterattacked with a knife, knocking him away with huge force!
fear!
Xue Yidao struck back with another knife!
Another flash of knife light passed by!
“Puff!”
Xu Sheng felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and found that his chest had been cut open diagonally.
Blood gushed out wildly!
Although he has practiced martial arts to the level of external strength, he is no match for the innate master Xue Yidao!
His first life was over. Xu Sheng understood.
"Xue Yidao, just wait for me. I will definitely wipe out your entire family in my next life!!!" Xu Sheng was still half-breathed because he was stabbed in the chest.
Before he died, he stared at Xue Yidao with red eyes and clenched teeth. After he said this, his body went limp and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Next life? Hahaha! That's just incompetent empty talk that only losers would say!" Xue Yidao just laughed at Xu Sheng's words and didn't take it seriously at all.
"Put a bounty on me! I asked you to put a bounty on me!!!" As he said that, Xue Yidao madly stabbed Xu Sheng's body!
Blood and flesh splattered onto Xue Yidao's face, which had a hideous scar that looked like a terrible caterpillar crawling on it.
At the same time!
Xu Sheng’s eyes went dark!
Died of suffocation!
Buzz.
At this moment, the Eternal Book in Xu Sheng's mind flashed with light and turned a page.
"Ding, the first life ends!"
"Ding, blood is detected in the host!"
"Ding, the second reincarnation is being prepared!"
