On the second floor of the restaurant, the moment Lu San saw Lu Zifeng, he knew why his master was determined to kill this young man. It was worth it that he stayed up all night last night to find out that this young man was actually in General Lan's military camp. He also found out that General Lan asked the young man to deliver a letter to the Duke's Mansion today. This matter is very intriguing.
Why would General Lan have this boy who looked so much like the Duke deliver a letter to him? And why did he even tell me that this boy was going into the city today? Haha, was he planning to use me to get rid of this boy?
Lu San shook his head. He couldn't understand what General Lan was up to.
Lu Zifeng's mental focus was always on the second floor of the restaurant, and he found that there were at least ten people in each room, and there were nearly forty people in three rooms.
Lu Zifeng frowned and said, "There are nearly forty people. Get ready. It's about to start. You two should be careful."
Seeing the two of them nod, Lu Zifeng walked closer to the restaurant, looked at it and said.
"Since you're here, then come out. Why hide your head and show your tail?"
Lu San was shocked and looked at Lu Zifeng in surprise through the window. He brought all the masters this time, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so powerful. He even knew that he and others were here. Seeing that they had been discovered, there was no point in hiding any longer, so he waved his hand and said.
"Everyone, get out. That young man will die today."
After saying that, he jumped out of the window, and then nearly forty masked men jumped out one after another.
Lu Zifeng glanced at Lu San and knew that this person was the mastermind behind the assassination. The moment he landed on the ground, he directly took action and captured him in his hands.
Lu San looked at Lu Zifeng in astonishment. He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so fast. Before he could react, the young man actually held him hostage.
Lu San really didn't want to believe this was true. Although his martial arts skills were not top-notch, he was still a rare master. Why was he completely powerless in front of this young man?
The other men in black were also stunned at this time. During this moment of stunned silence, Liu Can and Cao Yong had already raised their swords and attacked them. This made the men in black hesitant for a moment. Their boss was captured. Should they resist or surrender?
Lu Zifeng directly removed Lu San's limbs and threw him aside. Looking at Cao Yong and Liu Can who were dodging the attacks of a group of men in black in a rather embarrassed manner, Lu Zifeng directly exerted mental pressure on the men in black, which slowed down their movements and made Cao Yong and Liu Can feel a lot more relaxed.
Hearing the sound of coordinated footsteps behind him, Lu Zifeng turned his head and saw a group of soldiers running towards him. A young man about seventeen or eighteen years old was riding a white horse and holding a spear.
Seeing that others had not arrived yet, he picked up the bow and arrow hanging on the saddle, put the arrow on the string, and with a whoosh, he pierced the throat of a man in black.
"Stop! How dare you assassinate someone in the streets right under the feet of the Emperor of the Capital?"
Cao Yong and Liu Can stopped when they saw the soldiers coming, and stood behind Lu Zifeng. However, they did not sheath their long swords, but remained on alert.
This made the young man look at Lu Zifeng in surprise. Lu Zifeng also looked at him without any sign of nervousness.
The young man asked, "Who are you? Why did you attract assassins on the streets of the capital?"
Lu Zifeng clasped his fists and said, "I cannot reveal my identity for the time being, but here is a letter that was sent to the Dingguo Mansion at General Lan's request and given to the Dingguo Duke."
As he said this, he took out the letter and showed it to the young man. The young man was about to take the letter from Lu Zifeng, but Lu Zifeng took the letter back.
Seeing the young man's angry expression, Lu Zifeng apologized, "I'm truly sorry. I'm following General Lan's orders. This letter must be delivered to Duke Dingguo in person. It cannot be passed on to anyone else."
After hearing what Lu Zifeng said, the young man was not angry. He knew all these things and the rules were like this, so he did not pursue it any further and looked at the men in black lying around him.
"Why did these people assassinate you? Do you know the reason?"
"I don't know. We have only been in the capital for a few days and have not offended anyone."
Lu Zifeng glanced at the surrounded men in black and said, "I'll leave these people to you, sir. We still have to go to the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, so we'll say goodbye."
After saying this, he jumped on his horse, took two steps and said, "These people are so strange. They wanted to kill me, but they didn't kill us. When the adults came, they didn't even know to run away. Don't you think it's strange?"
Looking at Lu Zifeng's receding figure, the young man waved his hand and said, "Take all these people to the Dali Temple and hand them over to Lord Zhu, the Dali Temple Minister, and let him conduct a strict trial."
Lu Zifeng and his two companions were riding horses slowly on the street. Cao Yong and Liu Can had not yet sheathed their swords. The bloodstains on the swords looked even more creepy. So when the three of them walked on the street, the people avoided them and looked at them with horror on their faces.
Lu Zifeng looked at the people hiding around him in confusion, then turned back to look at Cao Yong and Liu Can, only then he saw that they had not sheathed their swords, which frightened the people.
He glared at the two and scolded them, "Why don't you put away the knives in your hands? Can't you see that the people are scared by you?"
Cao Yong and Liu Can only realized at this moment that they had forgotten to put away the knives in their hands. They smiled embarrassedly and put the knives away.
The three of them asked along the way and it took them half an hour to find the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. They saw the gate of the Mansion from a distance, but the gate was usually not open, so the three of them went directly to the side door.
Cao Yong walked up and knocked on the door. After a few breaths, the side door opened and a young man in his teens stood inside. He was also stunned when he saw the three people, but quickly asked.
"I wonder what you guys can do for me?"
Cao Yong stepped forward and said, "We are here from the west camp. We are delivering a letter to Duke Dingguo on behalf of General Lan. Please go and inform him."
After hearing what Cao Yong said, the servant knew that it was his good friend who sent him to deliver the letter, so he said.
"Please wait a moment. I will go in and report to the Duke first."
Looking at the side door that was closed again, Cao Yong and Liu Can muttered.
"Alas, this powerful family has so many rules. In our countryside, where are there so many rules?"
Hearing this, Lu Zifeng glanced at Cao Yong and scolded him, "Shut up! Don't you see where we are? This is not a place where you can talk nonsense."
