Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 160 Escape
……

"Young Master, what are these people's targets..."

"It's actually the Rong family?"

Sheng Changquan and his servant, who were secretly hiding behind the men in black, finally discovered their target. They looked at each other in bewilderment and fell silent.

The two of them had personally witnessed this group of men dressed as merchants walk out of the city gate, then hurry to this place, change their clothes, put on masks, and lie in ambush.

"Young master, what do you think?"

At this moment, Xu Changqing looked at the battlefield before him, completely at a loss.

"and many more!"

Sheng Changquan pressed Xu Changqing down, making sure the two of them were even more concealed.

"Let's take a look first!"

Sheng Changquan did not want to get involved in the affairs of the Prince Yong's Mansion and the Rong family, after all, neither of them were people that the Sheng family could afford to offend.

Moreover, those two families across the street have absolutely no connection to the Sheng family, so why bother with them?

It would be better to wait until their fight is over, then see if there are any opportunities to gain. If not, we can just slip away quietly. There's no need to get involved in this mess!

……

"Pe... Peony!"

At this moment, Rong Feiyan, who had been sitting in the carriage maintaining a haughty demeanor, finally couldn't hold back any longer. She disregarded the distinction between superior and inferior, and quickly grabbed her maid with her trembling little hand, pulling her into the carriage. At the same time, she asked tremblingly, "Peony, we...we won't be in trouble, will we?"

Because she was well protected by her family since childhood, Rong Feiyan had never witnessed such exciting scenes. Although she had experienced difficult times, those were when she was young.

From the time she was old enough to understand, her eldest sister, Rong Zhixian, had already entered the palace and gained favor. The family's circumstances also became better and better. It can be said that Rong Feiyan was a young lady who grew up in a honey pot.

At this moment, seeing these ferocious black-clad assassins, the fact that she could still speak was a testament to her strong mental fortitude.

"Miss...Is she alright?"

The maid, Peony, was also at a loss. However, she was still much stronger than Rong Feiyan. She mustered her courage, secretly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and carefully peeked out to observe the situation outside.

"puff!"

A servant near the carriage was slashed, spurting out a stream of bright red blood, some of which splashed into the carriage and landed on the clothes of the master and servant.

"what?!"

Inside the carriage, the two little girls were immediately terrified and screamed repeatedly. They were completely helpless, as if all their strength had been drained away, and they collapsed powerlessly in the carriage.

"not good!"

The third guard had been hovering around the carriage, fighting off the men in black who rushed out from the servants. But at this moment, he was careless and failed to stop another man in black from rushing out from the other side of the carriage. When he saw Rong Feiyan and her servant in danger, he couldn't help but want to rush forward to uphold his duty.

"Hmph, you dare to get distracted when you're fighting me?"

As the opponent of the third guard, the man in black, Ye Hu, snorted coldly in displeasure, and the force of his grip became even heavier!

"Damn it!"

The third guard found that the opponent's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce, and he was barely able to defend himself. As for protecting Rong Feiyan, it was even more difficult.

"No, we absolutely cannot let the girl get hurt, otherwise my family will be in big trouble!"

As the third guard sent by the palace to protect the nobles, he was naturally aware of the consequences if he and his men failed in their mission. If he died in battle, that would be one thing, and his family might even receive some compensation from the palace. However, if that happened, the future of his descendants would be ruined, and they might even be implicated and blamed by the nobles' relatives and friends!
Especially those he was meant to protect, the Rong family, since they only had three members! Thinking of this, a resolute expression suddenly appeared on the third guard's face, and his family's faces and voices flashed through his mind like a slideshow. He made a decision in his heart.

"Fight!"

He mustered all his strength and blood, reversing his usual breathing techniques, and unleashed the power within his entire body.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a surge of immense power welled up from all parts of his body!
"Ho!"

The third guard gripped his goose-feather saber tightly, mustered all his strength, and charged upwards, cutting down his opponent.

"Depend on!"

"madman!"

Ye Hu immediately saw the reason for the Third Guard's greatly increased strength and couldn't help but curse!

"You're going against your own meridians just to save one person? Aren't you afraid of dying a gruesome death?"

The third guard had just used a secret technique, which is not uncommon in the martial arts world. Different secret techniques have different uses; some can speed up the master's combat, while others can enhance the power of the master's attacks...

Many, each different.

However, there is only one possibility for a secret technique like the third guard's that can comprehensively enhance strength: it is a secret technique that has been given a separate name, that is, a secret technique that is called a forbidden technique!

Forbidden arts are arts that are forbidden.

The reason it's called a forbidden technique is that if someone uses it, it will cause extremely serious consequences.

Although forbidden techniques can temporarily enhance the master's all-around strength, they will inevitably cause extremely serious damage afterward. Even if it is only used for a short period of time, the best outcome will be that all the meridians in the body are severed, and the user will become a living dead person, or a vegetable.

Of course, this is the best-case scenario. Generally speaking, if anyone in the martial arts world uses such forbidden techniques, their fate is usually to be shattered to pieces, leaving no trace of their body!

The principle of forbidden techniques is to squeeze out the potential of the human body in the shortest amount of time and release it, just like a burst balloon, destined to explode and leave no part intact.

Moreover, most people believe in ghosts and gods. Unless forced to, no one would want to die a gruesome death and not fare well in the afterlife. That's why Ye Hu said that.

"Shh!"

The third guard ignored Ye Hu's curses. After shaking off Ye Hu's entanglement, he stomped his right foot heavily and leaped into the air, landing on the carriage.

"boom!"

A heavy, powerful blade came crashing down on the man in black on the other side!
"when!"

The newcomer immediately drew his sword to defend himself, while simultaneously retreating.

Although he had to complete the mission, he didn't want to die. Moreover, since the men in black had the upper hand, he naturally wanted to save his own life first before slowly working on the mission.

"Girls, please sit down!"

The third guard suppressed the surging blood in his body, gave instructions to the master and servant in the carriage, then turned the carriage around and rushed back.

"drive!"

The tree only blocked their way up the mountain, but it was not a problem to go down. That's why the third guard made the attempt.
