Eternal Sword

Chapter 105 Kill them all
A house in Wu'an County.

It's quiet at night.

Meng Liangyu was wrapped in gauze from head to toe, almost like a big dumpling. He lay on the warm kang, feeling the burning pain in the wound and unable to sleep at all.

The fat old man was lying nearby.

Meng Liangyu endured it like this, sweating profusely, gritting his teeth, making a creaking sound.

After a while, the fat old man turned over and looked at Meng Liangyu intently. In the darkness, his little eyes revealed a faint light.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Liangyu was stared at by the fat old man for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable. He turned his face to the side, endured the severe pain, and uttered a few words through his teeth.

"I just sent away a snorer, and here comes another one that grinds its teeth. Are you two here just to torture me?"

The fat old man held the little fat man's hand tightly with a resentful look on his face.

"I, I, didn't mean it."

Meng Liangyu quickly stopped grinding his teeth, but the pain in his body was still unbearable, and he gasped several times.

The fat old man said, "You don't need to stay here. Just shout when you need to. I can't fall asleep for a while anyway."

"Thank you, senior."

Meng Liangyu thanked him.

At this moment, the fat old man's ears twitched, as if he sensed something, and frowned.

Click!

There was a slight noise coming from the gate.

Meng Liangyu immediately became alert and quickly said, "Senior, did you hear that?"

"What?" The fat old man pretended not to know.

Meng Liangyu said quickly: "It seemed like the sound of the door bolt breaking just now!"

"Maybe."

The fat old man replied nonchalantly, with no intention of getting up.

Then, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the yard, and it sounded like there were more than a dozen people.

Meng Liangyu was shocked.

The person is not good!
He subconsciously looked at the fat old man, but the fat old man was still lying on the kang, as if he didn't hear anything.

"My name is Shi Zuochen. I am here to ask Miss Chen to come with us. Mr. Huo is hosting a banquet at Baihua Tower and is waiting for you to come."

A voice suddenly sounded in the yard, with a hint of teasing.

The room where Qing Mu was was quiet, without any sound or response.

Meng Liangyu struggled to stand up from the kang, as if wanting to go out.

"Do not care."

The fat old man frowned and said, "You are injured like this, are you going to die?"

"Senior, this group of people came with bad intentions."

Meng Liangyu whispered, "I'll try to hold them back. You take Miss Chen and Zhiwei and go find Brother Chen first."

He was seriously injured, his mind was like a mess, and he had lost his usual calmness.

At this moment, Shi Zuochen spoke again: "You want to wait for Chen Tang to come back, right? I can tell you clearly that Chen Tang is dead and will not come back."

Hearing this, Meng Liangyu shuddered all over and his hands and feet turned cold.

This group of people are from the Huo family.

The power behind Duan Zhao is the Huo family!
Unexpectedly, because of my own affairs, I cost the life of Chen Tang’s brother!
Thinking of this, Meng Liangyu suddenly jumped off the kang, not knowing where he got the strength from.

He stumbled and pulled out the long knife that Chen Tang had placed on the shelf, pushed the door open, looked at the dozen people in the yard, and shouted, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Duan Zhao died because of me, and it has nothing to do with others! If you have anything to say, just come at me!"

"Damn it, you're cheating!"

"What the hell!"

"Who are you?"

The group of Huo family guards were stunned when they saw Meng Liangyu covered in gauze.

After a closer look, I realized it was a person.

"Shitou Ling, how do we deal with this person?"

"Kill him, but don't leave the body here."

Shi Zuochen said casually, without taking Meng Liangyu seriously.

He continued, "Miss Chen, this is a huge fortune. How many people want to climb up to our Huo family and scramble to climb into my young master's bed. You must seize this opportunity."

"If Miss Chen knows how to serve others and pleases my master, your father may still have a chance to survive."

A guard of the Huo family walked towards Meng Liangyu with a long knife, ready to kill him first.

In fact, it was difficult for Meng Liangyu to stand at this moment, let alone fight with others.

Shi Zuochen saw that there was no response from inside, and his face darkened. He said, "Miss Chen is so ignorant, don't blame us for using force!"

"Arrests!"

Shi Zuochen waved his hand.

"Kill them all."

At the same time, a woman's voice suddenly came from the quiet room.

"Ok?"

All the guards of the Huo family were stunned for a moment.

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, figures appeared on the wall of the house, holding crossbows in their hands and aiming at the people from the Huo family in the yard.

Whoosh whoosh!
The next moment, numerous black lights broke through the air and arrived in an instant!
Shi Zuochen's face turned pale with horror!
Where did this person come from?
He didn't notice it at all.

More importantly, these people are holding crossbows in their hands!
The crossbow was a weapon banned in the State of Qian.

Except for the military and some special institutions, no one else is allowed to carry a crossbow.

Because the operation and use of the crossbow is relatively simple, and its lethality is far stronger than that of ordinary bows and arrows.

The power of some crossbows is even greater than that of five-stone or six-stone bows!
It is no exaggeration to say that holding a crossbow in your hand is equivalent to holding a powerful weapon!
Even an ordinary person holding a crossbow has the opportunity to shoot and kill a ninth-grade or even an eighth-grade warrior!
Suddenly, more than a dozen people and more than a dozen crossbows appeared on the wall, which was simply devastating to them.

Puff puff!
Crossbow arrows pierced through the bodies of the Huo family guards one by one, and blood splattered everywhere. Among these guards, there were also ninth-grade warriors.

But the speed of the crossbow arrow was too fast. Even a ninth-rank warrior couldn't react in time. He was shot to death on the spot before he could even draw his sword!

Shi Zuochen was an eighth-rank warrior with the fastest reaction. He luckily avoided the first round of crossbow shooting and was about to escape.

Whoosh whoosh!
The second round of crossbow arrows will arrive soon!
"what!"

Shi Zuochen was horrified and his pupils suddenly contracted!

What these people are holding are not ordinary crossbows, but repeating crossbows!

There was almost no interval between the first and second rounds of crossbow arrows.

Who have we offended?
Young master, you are harming me!
Puff puff!
Covered by the black light, Shi Zuochen had no chance to breathe, nor space to hide. He was pierced through the body by five or six crossbow arrows on the spot. He fell to the ground and died with his eyes open.

Meng Liangyu stood at the door holding a knife, looking completely dumbfounded.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen guards of the Huo family were all killed!
The entire process, from the moment this group of people showed up to the moment they ended, took less than a breath.

This group of people came out of nowhere and jumped over the wall into the yard.

These people may not look impressive, but they are extremely agile. I'm afraid that the cultivation level of each of them is higher than his.

A woman in her thirties came in with a calm expression, seemingly unconcerned by the scene. She directed, "Clean it up, don't leave any bloodstains that would pollute people's eyes."

The group of people agreed and started working silently.

Some carried the bodies away, some cleaned up the bloodstains left on the snow, and some collected the remaining crossbow arrows.

Everything is in order and the division of labor is clear.

Meng Liangyu felt that these people were just working.

Killing someone and dealing with the body were as common as sweeping the floor and cooking.

Before long, the yard was cleaned up without any trace left.

This job was done very neatly.

This group of people silently climbed over the high wall and disappeared into the night, as if they had never appeared.

The woman in her thirties came to Qing Mu's room and said, "That Third Master Huo is plotting something bad. Do you want to kill him?"

"Forget it, just teach him a lesson and scare him."

Qing Mu's voice was still pleasant to hear, but Meng Liangyu felt that there seemed to be an indescribable majesty in the voice.

The woman was about to turn around and leave when Qing Mu suddenly asked, "Is he the one who changed the bow in the training ground?"

"Yes."

the woman replied.

"Oh, then kill him." Qing Mu said lightly.

"As ordered."

The woman received the order and turned away without any hesitation, without even looking at Meng Liangyu from beginning to end.

Until the woman left and closed the gate, the whole house returned to peace again, and Meng Liangyu was still confused.

In his opinion, Chen Tang's two relatives are indeed capable.

But it’s only limited to one point.

The scene just now completely shattered his cognition.

Who is Chen Tang?
Is his father really an ordinary hunter?
Could it be that he is the illegitimate child of a prince or minister among the common people, and Chen Daan is just his adoptive father?
No, no.

It would probably be difficult for princes and ministers to mobilize such terrifying power.

This must be a royal relative, right?

That’s right, Chen Tang is most likely the illegitimate son of some royal relative!

Brother Chen hid it very well.

Meng Liangyu was secretly shocked and his mind was opened up.

He returned to the room in a daze and threw the knife aside.

After this incident, the Bagua soul in his body began to burn fiercely, and the pain in his body seemed to be alleviated a lot.

Judging from the fat old man's posture, he had obviously anticipated this.

……

Cai Yin came out of the Colonel's Hall and went straight to the Qinglong Sima stable.

"Caitou, what happened?"

Wei Qun and Wang Yanli had just returned the horses and were about to go back to their residence to rest when they saw Cai Yin running over in a hurry and asked hurriedly.

"follow me!"

Cai Yin jumped on his horse and said, "Chen Tang is in danger!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qun and Wang Yanli felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Without hesitation, they immediately mounted their horses and ran out with Cai Yin.

"Caitou, what's going on?"

On the way, Wei Qun asked with a frown.

Cai Yin said in a deep voice: "I was careless. Now that Duan Zhao is dead, Han Lang and the Huo family might take action against Chen Tang!"

"They dare to hurt the Qinglong Guards?" Wang Yanli raised his eyebrows.

“It may not be their people.”

Cai Yin said: "Moreover, strictly speaking, Chen Tang is not yet considered a Blue Dragon Guard."

The three of them rode their horses and galloped at full speed along the road Chen Tang was taking home.

Not long after, Cai Yin and the other two turned into a street. They subconsciously pulled the reins and looked at the scene in front of them with strange expressions.

There were about twenty bodies lying all over the street, all dead, without a single one spared!

A tall young man wearing a green dragon armor was sticking his butt out and groping around on the bodies under the faint starlight.

He just happened to take out a few taels of silver and put it in his arms.

"Forehead……"

Cai Yin and the other two were speechless.

Chen Tang heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, turned around, and saw Cai Yin and his two companions. He waved and said hello: "What a coincidence?"
