Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1214: Rescue
Several people sat around and talked about what they knew about the disaster that year, and how An Zhixian and others escaped death.

The ten guards are all loyal to their master. Ling Jiu and An Zhixian are of the same age, and Ling Shi is one year younger than An Zhixian. The two are not only the candidates for the ten guards, but also An Zhixian's study companions.

The three of them practiced martial arts and studied together almost all the time, and were An Zhixian's best playmates in Zhangzhou.

On the day of the incident, An Zhixian took advantage of his father's absence in the military camp and no one was paying attention to his martial arts practice, so he changed his clothes and sneaked out of the mansion with Ling Jiu, Ling Shi, and two guards. When he was having so much fun, he heard that the mansion was on fire and hurriedly ran back.

Ling Shi: "From a long distance away, we could see the thick smoke. They poured kerosene, and even the sky was burning red. When we ran to the back door, we saw many people helping to put out the fire. The fire was so big that we couldn't get close at all.

Our master and I were anxious to rush in, but the people from Tianji Sect came and knocked us out and forced us into a carriage to take us away, saving our lives. In the following years, we were all in Tianji Sect in Pingzhou."

Although An Zhixian's expression did not show great sorrow, his regret had already penetrated deeply into every bone and blood since that day. Whenever he dreamed of the scene of that day, he felt as if he was being tortured to death:
"If I had practiced hard that day and had not gone out to play, even if I could not save my father who was far away in the military camp, at least my mother might have survived..."

Ling Yi comforted him with concern: "Young Master, please do not blame yourself. You were still young back then, and even the guards in the mansion could not escape the murderous hands. It would be useless for you to go back."

"Second brother is right. Fortunately, Tianji Sect took you away in time, otherwise we would have no face to live."

Recalling those years, Ling Si felt extremely guilty.

At that time, he and Ling Ba stayed in Zhangzhou Prefecture as guards. On the day of the incident, the embroidery shop happened to deliver the finished clothes, and the princess sent servants to find the young master to try on the clothes. They searched the entire mansion but couldn't find him. From the back door steward, the princess learned that her son had sneaked out of the mansion. Seeing that it was getting late, she sent him out to look for him. Before he found him, he saw the thick smoke above the mansion from afar, and hurried back to the mansion, but it was too late...

The people from Tianji Sect rescued him when he fainted. When he woke up again, he saw the young master, Ling Jiu, Ling Shi, and two guards from the mansion. They were all crying and collapsing. He suddenly felt something was wrong.

Upon hearing the tragic news that his master, princess, and many brothers had all died at the hands of Liang Zechuan, Ling Si could hardly believe his ears.

During that time, they desperately wanted revenge, but after being stopped by the old leader of Tianji Sect several times to no avail, he simply locked them up. The young master was also too sad because of the death of both his parents and had a high fever, and he was almost unable to recover.

The old master looked at the sick young master who couldn't open his eyes, and rebuked him bitterly: The master is gone, don't you even care about his bloodline? Only then did he stop them completely.

During this period, Ling Yi and Ling Wu were seriously injured in a scheme by the Yeliang army while seeking revenge on Liang Zechuan on the battlefield. Tianji Sect found two corpses of similar size to Ling Yi and Ling Wu, destroyed their faces, changed their clothes, and used fake death to bring Ling Yi and Ling Wu back to Tianji Sect.

Ling Si: "When I rushed back, the mansion was already a sea of ​​blood. The weak, old, women and children who were powerless were all killed. Old Eight was lying at the main courtyard gate... Both his hands were cut off...

Both sides of the door are covered with his blood... He must have used up all his strength to defend it before he died..."

Thinking of his brother's tragic death, Ling Si, who was usually calm and composed, choked up. Ling Ni and the others also had red eyes and clenched their teeth in grief and pain.
