Chapter 359: I tell you, you all have to die!
Yun Lei seemed not to hear, "I will not leave. If we have to leave, I will take the young master with me. The young lady has instructed me to protect the young master well." After saying that, he suddenly drew his sword and started a fierce fight with the man in black.
Sword lights and knife shadows crisscrossed, and the room was suddenly filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Lan Shenye saw it all and was anxious. He kept shouting, "Yunlei, hurry up and leave! Don't be stupid!"
Yun Lei refused to leave no matter what. At this moment, a man in a black robe appeared quietly. He flicked his finger and a touch of powder was sprinkled on Yun Lei. In just a moment, Yun Lei became weak all over and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, the man in black stabbed Yun Lei through the heart with a sword.
"Yun Lei!" Lan Shenye's eyes were red and he looked at Lan Zhenrong with hatred on his face.
Lan Zhenrong laughed heartily, his voice filled with mockery and pride. "Just a subordinate, and you're already feeling bad for me? I've raised you for so many years, and you dare to break off relations with me? Come, capture that servant and kill him in front of him."
Yun Leilin's face was filled with pain, and he looked at Lan Shenye with worried eyes: "Master... take care of yourself. I can't protect you anymore. The young lady will come to save you..."
After a while, Xiao Muzi was roughly dragged into the house by several men in black. Xiao Muzi's attention was instantly attracted by Yun Lei on the ground. At this moment, he was lying quietly in a pool of blood, lifeless.
Xiao Muzi's face suddenly changed, with fear and grief intertwined. He turned his head abruptly and looked at his young master Lan Shenye. Lan Shenye was powerless all over and slumped aside, his eyes full of despair and unwillingness.
Xiao Muzi exclaimed, "Young Master?" There was an indescribable tremor in his voice.
Lan Shenye raised his head with difficulty, his eyes falling on Lan Zhenrong, "Don't kill him, come to me if you have anything to say."
There was only indifference in Lan Zhenrong's eyes. He stepped forward, snatched the sword from the man in black, and without hesitation, wiped it across Xiao Muzi's neck. Blood gushed out, staining his clothes red and also staining Lan Shenye's vision red.
"Xiao Muzi!" Lan Shenye roared, his voice filled with heart-wrenching grief.
Lan Zhenrong said coldly: "Clean it up, take him away and torture him well."
Tears welled up in Lan Shenye's eyes, and he couldn't help but let them fall.
He recalled his time with Xiao Muzi and Yun Lei, and his heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.
"Yueyue, it was me who killed Yunlei and Xiaomuzi, and also caused you to be captured here." His voice was low and hoarse, filled with endless sorrow.
Lan Xiyue listened quietly to Lan Shenye's story, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Brother, don't be sad. It's not your fault. It was all planned by Lan Zhenrong. He is insidious."
Lan Shenye shook his head, tears streaming down his cheeks. "No, it's my fault. If I hadn't insisted on going back to the Wuguo Marquisate, Yunlei and Xiaomuzi wouldn't have died because of me." His tone was filled with self-blame and regret.
"Brother, don't blame yourself for now. When we get back, we'll settle the score with Lan Zhenrong and avenge Yun Lei and Xiao Muzi."
After she finished speaking, Lan Xiyue felt that she could move again. Her acupoints had been automatically untied. With a flash of thought, silver needles appeared in her hand. She pricked her body with the needles a few times. The effect of the tendon softening powder gradually dissipated. She fiddled with the iron chain a few times with the silver needles and successfully untied the chains on her hands.
After untying her hands, she untied the chains around her legs and walked in front of Lan Shenye.
Lan Xiyue gently untied the chains that bound Lan Shenye, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Brother, I'm here, it's okay."
After Lan Shenye was freed, his body trembled slightly. Lan Xiyue was quick to support him. With a thought, a bottle of medicine appeared in her hand, and the bottle exuded a faint fragrance.
"Yueyue, I'm fine. I just have some minor injuries. No, Yueyue, how did you untie the chains just now?"
Lan Xiyue shook the silver needle in her hand. "It's nothing. It will be untied in a few strokes. It's no big deal for me."
Lan Shenye looked at the silver needle in Lan Xiyue's hand and shook his head, "I didn't expect Yueyue to have this ability. I am very ashamed."
"Brother, let me apply medicine to you first."
Lan Shenye shook his head again, "No, let's leave here first."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue put the porcelain bottle into the space, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "Brother, do you know where this is? There is such a secret passage hidden in the tomb. This place is like a prison cell."
Lan Shenye's eyes instantly grew deep, and he spoke slowly, "This is the Jade Peak Forest outside the Imperial City, the ancestral tomb of the Wu Kingdom Marquisate. I never thought that Lan Zhenrong would build such a place in the tomb."
Just as the two were about to leave, they heard hurried footsteps.
Several men in black walked in and saw that Lan Shenye and Lan Xiyue had already untied the chains. They drew their swords in an instant, and a cold light flashed.
“You actually…”
Without waiting for the man in black to finish his words, Lan Xiyue snorted coldly, and the silver needles in her hand flew out like stars at an astonishing speed.
The man in black jumped up and avoided the attack of the silver needle.
Immediately afterwards, two guards rushed in and were also stunned when they saw the scene before them.
The man in black shouted angrily, "What's going on? Why are they okay? Aren't they tied up?"
The two guards looked at each other, bewildered. "We don't know either! We clearly tied them up with chains when we left just now!"
Lan Xiyue looked at the chain on the ground with disdain. "Just this? You still want to tie me up?"
The man in black narrowed his eyes and looked Lan Xiyue and Lan Shenye up and down, his tone full of threats: "You can't escape, stop struggling."
Lan Xiyue heard this and sneered, "I'm telling you, you all have to die!!!"
The leading man in black was furious when he heard this and snorted coldly: "You're looking for death!" As he said that, he swung his sword towards Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue was light and nimble, dodging the attacks of the man in black, and continuously counterattacking him with a silver needle in one hand and a dagger in the other.
Lan Shenye called out anxiously, "Yueyue, be careful." Before he finished speaking, he had already moved like the wind and attacked the men in black.
Lan Xiyue was like ice blooming at this moment, and her actions were clean, neat and merciless.
Her figure shuttled among the men in black, daggers flashing, silver needles raining down, every movement was precise and deadly.
In a few seconds, the men in black who attacked her fell to the ground one after another, leaving a thin line of blood on their necks, indicating the end of their lives.
She turned around and jumped, landing next to Lan Shenye. After another round of fierce confrontation, the remaining men in black were killed.
At this moment, two trembling guards hid in the corner, witnessing all this, their eyes filled with fear. They stepped back, their voices trembling, "No, don't kill us."
