The gate of Prince Hui's mansion slowly opened, and a carriage came out of the gate. The carriage went towards the east gate, moving very slowly, but the sound of the wheels rolling on the bluestone road surface could be clearly heard.
Two more sticks of incense passed before three hundred cavalrymen emerged from the gate of Prince Hui's mansion in an orderly manner.
They stood solemnly in the silent March Alley. As the man in front swung his long sword, three hundred cavalrymen galloped away without making much noise. The hooves of these war horses were actually wrapped in thick pads.
Then more than twenty men in black walked out of the gate of Prince Hui's Mansion. The leader was carrying a thin sword on his back. He flew up from the ground and landed on the roof opposite. The twenty or so men in black also flew up with him, moving all the way and heading straight for Fu Mansion in Xuanwu Lake.
Two incense sticks later, another carriage came out of the gate. This carriage was moving very fast and went straight to the south gate.
The person sitting in the carriage was the scholar in blue. He frowned and then smiled strangely.
Xiao Zhan led this cavalry and galloped silently on the streets of Shangjing City. What he had to do was to rush directly to Fu Mansion, break through the gate, and then cooperate with the green forest heroes led by Ximen Piaoxue to kill everyone in Fu Mansion!
However, what he did not expect was that at the end of March Alley, a man, a horse, and a gun stood in the middle of the street.
Under the dim street lights, the man riding alone on the horse brought great oppression to Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan frowned, he drew out his long sword and pointed it diagonally towards the sky, the speed of the warhorse under his crotch did not slow down at all. The prince's order tonight was just one word: kill!
But then he realized something was wrong. The man standing in the middle of the street still hadn't moved. He suddenly looked to both sides of the street and saw many people appearing on the roofs.
Those people were holding longbows and aiming at them at this moment!
Yulin Army!
This is a fucking trap!
His heart tightened as he saw the man in the middle of the long street wield his spear, and arrows from the rooftops on both sides shot down. It was so cold, so dense, like a torrential rain, so intoxicating.
“Dududududu…”
"ah……!"
“Puff, puff, puff…!”
There were tragic cries and the wails of war horses. In one round of volleys, more than half of the 300 cavalrymen were killed or wounded in an instant.
The cavalry was still charging, Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth, he hoped to be able to rush out of the range of the longbow, he hoped to take the remaining soldiers to rush to Fu Xiaoguan's home!
However, he despaired in an instant.
He was only three hundred meters away from the man at the end of the long street, but on both sides of this three hundred meters, two rows of Yulin soldiers holding longbows appeared.
After another round of volleys and another round of people and horses falling to the ground, only more than fifty riders were left behind Xiao Zhan.
The man holding the gun at the end of the long street shook his head, turned his horse and left, but something even more desperate happened to Xiao Zhan.
Just around the corner, a thousand riders were approaching slowly!
——Those were the Imperial Guard’s Black Armored Knights, Dayu’s most elite cavalry. They were supposed to be stationed in a garrison outside Shangjing City, but now they appeared here.
"Except for the leader, kill all the others. Cut off their heads and pile them at the gate of Prince Hui's mansion. Then... take the leader to the Jinling government office. Then you will all return to your camps."
"Boring!" Huo Huaijin complained again, then rode away leisurely on his warhorse and walked towards the Fu Mansion.
That's right, he rode his horse slowly along the quiet streets, seemingly in no hurry at all.
…
At the same time, in some places in Shangjing City, masked men in black came one after another to the homes of women who had been bullied by Yu Jingfan.
Of course they came to kill and silence the witnesses, which was a very simple matter. Those women were ordinary people in the capital, while these men in black were all strong men from the green forest. After doing this, they had to rush to the Fu Mansion to support the operations there.
So when they arrived, they didn't notice that there were already people on the roofs of these houses.
This is someone from the Light Breeze and Drizzle Tower, or to be more precise, a swordsman from the Light Breeze Tower.
These swordsmen flew up from the rooftops everywhere with swords in hand to meet the guests. The battle was extremely short, and then the men in black died under the swords.
The swordsmen from Qingfeng Tower did not leave, but continued to wait because they had not received any news of retreat from Hongzhuang.
Ximen Piaoxue brought a group of masters to the Xuanwu Lake.
Under the dim stars and moon, the frozen Xuanwu Lake is as dark as a bottomless abyss.
He was not in favor of tonight's action, because since there was a curfew in the capital, it meant that today's incident had attracted the attention of His Majesty. The purpose of the curfew was, of course, to prevent another fight between the two sides.
Fu Xiaoguan has a master like Su Jue by his side. If they raid Prince Hui's mansion, no one can stop him.
However, Prince Hui's chief counselor Ji Yungui rejected all objections and pushed for tonight's action, saying that there would be no chance after tonight, and if Fu Xiaoguan did not die, Prince Hui would be in great trouble.
It's not that easy to kill Fu Xiaoguan. The senior brother Su Jue of the Taoist academy is a master who is half a step away from becoming a saint. The men he brought with him are only second or third rate, not even enough for Su Jue to deal a few blows!
How to fight this?
Ximen Piaoxue didn't know either. According to Ji Yungui's plan, they needed to wait here. After the cavalry led by Xiao Zhan attacked the Fu Mansion and created chaos, they would use fireworks as a signal to rush from Xuanwu Lake to the Fu Mansion, kill Fu Xiaoguan with a surprise attack, and then retreat immediately.
Ji Yungui said that when the cavalry rushed into the Fu Mansion, the masters around Fu Xiaoguan would definitely go to stop the cavalry, and Fu Xiaoguan would definitely stay behind them. That would be an opportunity. If missed, it would become another bloody battle.
What he said seemed to make sense, so Ximen Piaoxue was waiting here at the moment, waiting for Xiao Zhan to send out the fireworks message.
Su Su was swinging on the swing in Taoranting, looking at the dark Xuanwu Lake, wondering why those guys hadn't come yet?
Yan Xiaolou and Fu Xiaoguan sat opposite each other. She was a little scared because there was no light.
Fu Xiaoguan was very surprised by Yan Xiaolou's arrival. He didn't know what to talk to her about because they didn't know each other.
So he thought about it for a moment and whispered, "I'm really fine. I'll ask someone to take you back. It's not safe tonight."
Yan Xiaolou stared at the blurry figure in front of him, thinking that there would never be a safer time than tonight, as there wasn't even a ghost in the streets and alleys.
She was a little nervous, after all, this was her first time being alone with Fu Xiaoguan. Of course, she ignored Su Su who was swinging on the swing.
"Actually, you could have just gone back and reported today's incident to the authorities and let them handle it. Why take such a risk? Have you forgotten about being kidnapped last year?"
This sounds a bit complaining, like a young wife.
Fu Xiaoguan chuckled, "I didn't think too much about it at the time. Besides, I didn't know he was Prince Hui's son. If I had known, I would definitely use the method you mentioned."
Yan Xiaolou believed it and suddenly remembered what his grandfather was going to tell Fu Xiaoguan, so he said, "Grandpa asked me to tell you that Ji Linchun is in Prince Hui's mansion."
Fu Xiaoguan frowned. He thought that on that rainy night, after the Qingfengxiyu Tower massacred the Yanzhi Tower and burned the place down, Ji Linchun was either killed or burned. In short, she should be dead. But he didn't expect that she would be in Prince Hui's Mansion!
Judging from the current information, Ji Linchun is from Yuhuatai, and Yuhuatai is the power of the Fourth Prince. So is there any story between the Fourth Prince and Prince Hui?
"Please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
Fu Xiaoguan got up and went to the inner courtyard, found Su Rou, and asked her to go to Prince Hui's mansion and bring back the woman named Ji Linchun.
"Aren't you worried here?"
"Nothing will happen here. The Fifth Prince has placed seven swords here."
Su Rou left, and Fu Xiaoguan returned to Taoranting. "When you go back, please tell your grandfather a message for me. Tell him... I know about the Sun-Breaking Divine Bow. If you take a step back, you'll have a brighter future."
Yan Xiaolou widened his eyes in shock, wondering why the words that Grandpa and Fu Xiaoguan said to each other were so weird?
It seems that Fu Xiaoguan understands what grandpa means, but can grandpa understand what Fu Xiaoguan means?
"Don't worry, he knows."
At this moment, a firework shot up into the sky from the Fu Mansion and bloomed in the silent night sky, so beautiful.
"You should go. I'm afraid I might scare you later."
Is he concerned about me?
Yan Xiaolou was delighted and shook his head, "If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid?"
Ximen Piaoxue in the distance finally received the signal. He drew his sword and swung it, and more than 20 bandits followed him onto Xuanwu Lake and rushed towards the Fu Mansion on the other side of the lake.
"No, there will be strong men coming to kill me later."
"Then you come with me."
This...how should Fu Xiaoguan explain it to her?
It is necessary to let these strong men break into the Fu Mansion. This is a crucial step, but this cannot be told to Yan Xiaolou. This little girl is very stubborn.
"Then let's go inside."
"good!"
Fu Xiaoguan took Yan Xiaolou to Li Chenxuan, Ximen Piaoxue rushed to Taoranting with a group of killers, and then rushed three feet along the corridor. Susu had already flown to the roof of Qingxin Pavilion, quietly staring at the group of people rushing over.
Ximen Piaoxue suddenly stopped!
"Be careful, there's a trap!"
There was no light on in the Fu Mansion, and he didn't hear any sound of fighting. So where were the cavalry led by Xiao Zhan?
He decided to leave at that moment, but before he turned around, he found that he could no longer leave.
In the Taoranting behind them, a lamp lit up. He turned around and saw that it was his senior brother Su Jue sitting under the lamp.
He looked deeper into the Fu Mansion and saw many lights lit up, with several lights coming towards them.
Those lights are placed on the swords, seven lights, seven swords!
Seven Swords of the Sword Forest!
Fu Xiaoguan also came out with a knife in his hand. He suddenly smashed everything in the mansion with the knife, destroying the window, the building, the corridor, and the white jade Pixiu that His Majesty had given him.
Yan Xiaolou looked at him in astonishment. Fu Xiaoguan turned around and smiled at her, "Just pretend you didn't see this!"
