The servant was taken aback: "How did you know, sir? You should go out now, sir. That man is going on a killing spree outside."
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Dai shuddered: "Chan'er, Father-in-law, let's run! There's still time!"
Meng Chan gave him a cold look: "In this situation, all you know is to run away? You're scared like this by just one person?"
Meng Yi also said in a deep voice, "The Meng family is not like other places. Ping'er, don't worry, come with me and I'll make sure he doesn't come back alive."
With that, he flicked his sleeve and hurriedly walked out.
Meng Chan followed.
The Prince of Dai followed behind, his expression shifting between light and dark, clearly struggling internally. In the end, he gritted his teeth and followed.
Only when Chan'er is by his side does he feel safe.
Not long after the group left, they heard various screams. Meng Chan looked closely and saw a large group of guards from the Meng family besieging a handsome and tall man in a blue robe.
No, it looks more like the man alone surrounded the hundreds of guards.
The man walked forward calmly, without even moving his hand. A golden flying sword flew up and down around him, and wherever it passed, a guard would be stained with blood and instantly lose his fighting ability.
Neither shields nor armor could withstand the opponent's attacks.
A strange light flashed in Meng Chan's eyes. So this is Zu An? No wonder her father said he has a lot of luck with women and is very popular with girls.
The Prince of Dai said in a trembling voice, "This guy is a devil. I told you to run away."
Meng Yi remained unmoved, instead letting out a cold snort: "No need to panic. He's just relying on the flying sword talisman he snatched from Elder Shen, the protector of the Prince of Jin."
However, he was also a little puzzled. The power of the flying sword this guy used seemed to be much stronger than that of Shen Xingchao.
He cleared his throat: "Lord Zu, what is the reason for this?"
Zuan said calmly, "Can't you tell that I want to kill someone right now?"
Meng Yi's lips curled up slightly, and he said coldly, "Lord Zu, this is right under the emperor's nose, in the capital. You first openly attacked the Prince of Dai's mansion, and now you have gone on a killing spree in my residence. You know that you have committed heinous crimes. Even if you manage to escape from here today, you will become a wanted criminal of the court in the future. Even your status as a high-ranking official cannot withstand these crimes."
Chan'er, did you see that? Our plan has finally succeeded.
All our previous provocations and deliberate attempts to provoke him were meant to make him lose his temper, and now we've succeeded.
Once we kill him, dealing with the Crown Prince will be much easier.
Meng Chan looked worried. Although everything was indeed developing as she had planned, why did she feel a vague unease in her heart?
"Oh, so you're trying to manipulate these rules to get back at me again?" Zuan's lips curled into a sneer. "The reason I played along with you guys before was just to avoid making things difficult for those two, and I also didn't want to get involved in the court's petty squabbles. Who knew you guys would push your luck like that?"
"Since that's the case, I'm not going to pretend anymore. I'm laying my cards on the table. From now on, I'm the one who calls the shots in this capital!"
Although he spoke calmly, an inexplicable aura emanated from him, causing many in the room to tremble.
Meng Yi also felt the hairs on his body start to stand on end, but with this advantage in his position, he was unwilling to back down even a little.
"Hahaha, did I hear that right? You brat, how dare you say such a thing? Who do you think you are? Do you even know how powerful the capital is..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zu An flashed to his side, grabbed his neck, and twisted it gently.
With a crisp crack, Meng Yi's head slumped down, his eyes wide open, clearly not expecting the other party to be so fast; he had no time to react at all.
Zuan casually tossed his corpse on the ground, then took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands: "Enough with the nonsense!"
The room fell into a deathly silence; everyone's jaws nearly dropped to the floor.
Meng Yi, the dignified Director of the Imperial Secretariat, the head of a top family, who was at the height of his power in the court and could turn the tide of events with a flick of his wrist, died just like that?
Is there something wrong with how we're doing it today?
Only one person reacted the fastest; almost at the same time Zu An disappeared, Meng Chan pulled her husband back to avoid him.
She figured that even if her father didn't defeat the enemy, he could at least hold them off for a while. Then, he could mobilize the preparations in the manor and surely make that guy die without a burial place.
It's a shame to kill someone as handsome as him.
Who knew that the next second she would see the image of her father's neck being snapped, she was completely stunned.
My cunning and shrewd father, who always had countless backup plans, died just like that?
You should know that he himself is a Grandmaster!
