As soon as Zhou Weiyong left, Xiahou Jun led his men to the Yanhui Tower, where the arrows had struck. He took out his clairvoyance and saw someone on the tower, manipulating the mechanism. The arrows had completely ceased, though; otherwise, Xiahou Jun wouldn't have dared to bring his men there.
"Sir, there is indeed someone in that tower!"
Xiahou Jun said that these people were bullying him because he couldn't take charge or because he was incompetent. As soon as Xiahou Qing left, they showed up one after another to cause trouble. Don't think that he had wasted all these years in Tianshu Tower. "Well, you dare to bully me at this time? I'll let you taste the power of this living dead. Bring me a bow and arrow, I'll test him first!"
Xiahou Jun drew his bow to full strength, aiming towards Yanhui Pagoda. An arrow, laced with poison, struck the railing to Huangfu Ning's left. Huangfu Ning nodded, observing the deflected arrow. Even though it hadn't hit his target, the fact that he had managed to reach this point from such a distance was a pretty good feat, if it weren't for sheer luck. "Well, your archery is pretty good, but it's still a ways off from a perfect 100-step shot. So, let me help you out."
After sighing, Huangfu Ning grabbed a handful of arrows from the fence and stuffed them straight under his armpit. Xiahou Jun took the Clairvoyance and took a look, then raised his lip and said, "Hmph, you hit the target! Tell them to open the dungeon and release Lin Feng. Remember, only release Lin Feng. If you open the wrong dungeon, you'll be left with the living dead."
"yes!"
While waiting for Lin Feng to come, Xiahou Jun did not initiate an offensive. He just ordered his men to surround the three layers inside and outside the Yanhui Tower. By the way, he asked his men to mobilize more archers from the government office and prepare enough arrow feathers just in case.
After separating from Huangfu Ning, Zhou Weiyong did not stay in the city. After leaving the city, he pulled out the carriage he had prepared in advance, took out the tools, and started banging on the carriage.
As for the three young men of the Huangfu family, at midnight, according to their previous plan, they sneaked to the outside of the small courtyard filled with night-scented incense barrels that they had visited before.
Originally, they wanted to give these people some drugs or something, and then sneak in and bring Huangfu Zhong out without making any noise. However, it was the first time for the three of them to do such a thing, and when they were giving the drugs, they were accidentally caught by these people who liked to work in the middle of the night.
After a burst of crackling fighting, the three men, seeing the people lying on the ground, clutching their bodies and wailing, did not dare to relax their nerves. Huangfu Ning had reminded them when they came that Huangfu Zhong was very important to Tianshu Tower. It was impossible for him to be guarded by just ordinary thugs. There must be experts secretly present.
The three of them retreated a few steps towards the courtyard gate, carefully observing the movements around them. Huangfu Chongyou asked, "Why do I feel like these people are so weak?"
Huangfu Chongjun reminded again: "There must be a trick here. Remember what your uncle said when you came here?"
The two younger brothers nodded and said, "Of course I remember!"
Huangfu Chongjun said: "Okay, then let's protect each other's backs. Be careful when moving forward, the criminal is inside."
However, the master who was not attracted by the sound of fighting just now suddenly appeared when the three young men were about to reach Huangfu Zhong's door.
Huangfu Chongjun's ears twitched slightly, and the moment he heard the sound of the air sliding down, he pulled his two brothers and quickly took a step back. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, the darts on the ground would have hit them by now.
Along with the darts appeared two middle-aged men. Judging by the look in their eyes, they were either husband and wife or siblings. They slowly emerged from the darkness and said, "Young man, that's enough."
"......!" The three Huangfu brothers saw this and instinctively told them that they couldn't defeat these two men. The next second, perhaps due to the tacit understanding they had developed from being together for so long, without any words or eye contact, the three of them turned and ran in different directions.
Their sudden movements startled the couple, who had already prepared for a fight. Madam Yinhua paused for a moment, then looked at the three directions they were fleeing in and exclaimed, "...How come they're running so fast?"
Seeing these three responsive and energetic teenagers, Mr. Jin Xian couldn't help but think of his own son who was still paralyzed in bed. If his son hadn't done anything stupid, he wouldn't have to rely on the medicine from Tianshu Tower to stay alive. "Oh, these three young men will definitely become great people in the future."
Madam Yinhua said that although she had not let the three young men into the house, she still had to go in and see the situation with her own eyes. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened later, it would be difficult to explain to Xiahou Qing: "Let's talk about sighs later. We still have tasks to do. Let's check on Huangfu Zhong first."
After Jin Xian and Yin Hua entered the house, Huangfu Zhong heard someone enter and immediately came out from the inner room. Yin Hua looked around the house and saw no signs of a fight or someone hiding after a defeat. Then she asked, "Mr. Huangfu, are you all right?"
Huangfu Zhong quickly bowed and replied, "Thank you both very much, everything is fine."
Madam Yinhua glanced at her husband and asked in a low voice, "So, where's that thing on the beam?"
Huangfu Zhong understood that his position in Xiahou Qing's heart was no longer as important as before. These people were most concerned about the safety of the Gu worm. "I'll go get it. The fighting outside was too loud just now, so I didn't dare to act rashly. The bronze tripod is still on the beam."
Looking at the plump, white insect in the bronze tripod that looked unlike any other insect, Madam Yinhua couldn't help but frown slightly. Although Xiahou Qing had shown them a glimpse of the Life-Growing Gu before, they were still unsure whether it was any good or not. "We don't understand this thing either, but it looks plump and white, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Huangfu Zhong smiled and said, "It will be fine for now. After all, nothing that can kill it has appeared yet."
Jin Xian, who had been standing aside silently, heard this and said, "That's good. Then, sir, please rest first. My husband and I will go back and report first."
"Thank you both for your hard work tonight."
The Jinxian Yinhua couple were also well-known and authentic figures in the martial arts world. These heroes were generally of high character, and judging by their behavior just now, their inherent arrogance didn't seem to have disappeared. If that was the case, Huangfu Zhong was a little confused.
It would be fine if it was just Xiahou Qing and Tianshu Tower in the past, but they would know what Tianshu Tower was doing now. Right now, all the famous and renowned heroes in Liang State, as well as families like the Zhou family, were either directly opposed to Tianshu Tower or had drawn a clear line to protect themselves.
