pity……

Lin Feng picked up the swordsman's light blue longsword. The sword felt heavy in his hand.

He frowned slightly. The swordsman's strength far surpassed that of the other swordsmen, and he was known as "the steward" by the others.

It is evident that the swordsman was likely the key figure in the kidnapping, yet he managed to escape.

Lin Feng turned around to look at the battlefield and saw that Li Ke and more than twenty soldiers had surrounded the bridal sedan chair.

The thugs on both sides of Caiyun Street had long since scattered like birds and beasts.

The remaining masked swordsmen were also surrounded and killed by Bian Xi, Zhang Lu and others who arrived at the scene.

Defeat was only a matter of time.

Lin Feng walked quickly to the bridal sedan chair and inquired about Song Yuwei and Su Wan'er's situation.

"My husband, Yuwei is doing well."

Song Yuwei lifted the sedan curtain, revealing half of her face.

Although her full face was not visible, her makeup today was exquisite, making her more radiant than usual, and she looked as beautiful as a fairy descended to earth.

"Is my husband alright?"

Song Yuwei's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she looked Lin Feng up and down with concern.

"I'm fine."

Lin Feng smiled at Song Yuwei, then looked at Su Wan'er's bridal sedan chair.

Just like Song Yuwei, Su Wan'er also lifted a corner of the sedan curtain.

The two exchanged a glance, and Su Wan'er's bright heterochromatic eyes were full of tenderness: "Husband, Wan'er is very good too."

Lin Feng nodded slightly and instructed, "You two, don't get out of the sedan chair."

"Li Ke, I'm leaving this to you!"

Li Ke nodded, gripping his long sword tightly: "Rest assured, my lord, I will ensure the safety of both my sisters-in-law!"

After confirming that Song Yuwei and Su Wan'er were alright, Lin Feng felt a weight lifted from his heart.

He held his sword in both hands and charged toward the remaining swordsmen.

Thirteen remaining swordsmen fought to the death despite being surrounded.

Bian Xi became ruthless and personally took to the field, killing several people in succession.

After Lin Feng joined, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and the swordsmen were defeated even faster.

"Lord Bian, spare two lives!" Lin Feng shouted to Bian Xi.

There are three swordsmen left; it would be best to capture them all and interrogate them thoroughly.

Lin Feng wanted to find out who had caused such a commotion to kidnap the bride.

"good!"

Bian Xi shouted and slashed diagonally with his long sword.

With a clang, the swordsman's longsword was knocked away.

Bian Xi kicked the swordsman in the stomach.

"Wow!"

The powerful kick caused the swordsman to spit out a mouthful of acid and fly a great distance.

The soldiers on either side immediately rushed forward and subdued the swordsman in no time.

Before the soldiers could restrain him, the swordsman's mouth twitched twice, and a stream of black blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

He's dead!

Seeing that they couldn't escape, the other two swordsmen followed suit, biting down on the poison hidden in their mouths and committing suicide by taking it!

"Those bastards..."

Bian Xi was both surprised and angry, saying, "You've prepared so thoroughly? Lin Feng, who exactly have you offended?"

Lin Feng was also puzzled. Was it really necessary?

He even resorted to suicide by poisoning himself in an attempt to abduct his loved one!

"I don't know where these people come from either."

He flicked the blood off his longsword and thanked Bian Xi, "Lord Bian, thank you so much for your help! Otherwise, I don't know how long it would have taken to wipe out the villains. Did you just happen to be patrolling the city?"

Upon hearing this, Bian Xi replied, "No! We were originally at the General's residence. Someone went to the General's residence to report a message, and we were dispatched by General Zhang to come and help..."

Before Bian Xi could finish speaking, Lin Feng raised his hand to interrupt him.

He pointed towards Chang'an Street and asked, "Lord Bian, is there fighting going on over there too?"

Reminded by Lin Feng, Bian Xi listened intently and, sure enough, faint shouts of battle could be heard.

Bian Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "That's not right! When we left the General's Mansion, Chang'an Street was perfectly fine. How could a war have suddenly broken out?"

A chilling thought suddenly popped into Lin Feng's mind.

He stared intently at Bian Xi and asked solemnly, "Lord Bian, how many guards are still stationed at the General's Mansion?"

"There are over two hundred men stationed in the manor. Zhang Lu and I each brought fifty men, making a total of one hundred. What's wrong?"

Bian Xi didn't immediately understand his meaning: "Why are you asking this?"

Lin Feng stepped forward, his voice deep and tense: "You brought a hundred men to provide support, and now there's a sudden riot on Chang'an Street. The General's Mansion will definitely send troops to suppress it. Isn't the defense of the mansion at its weakest point right now?"

Bian Xi's pupils constricted sharply, and he stammered, "No...it can't be, right? They actually dared to touch the General's Mansion?"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Lin Feng said urgently, "Lord Bian, leave some men here to clean up the battlefield and guard against a counterattack from the remaining rebels. The rest of you, head to the General's Mansion immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already sprinted off towards Chang'an Avenue.

Bian Xi opened his mouth and shouted, "Lin Feng, what about your wedding?"

"The wedding can wait, General Zhang's safety is the most important thing!" Lin Feng said anxiously without turning his head.

Zhang Liao held an extremely important position in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Zhenyuan City.

In times of crisis, he stood up to defend Zhenyuan City, leading the army and civilians to repel the repeated attacks of the Northern Barbarian Tartars.

If anything were to happen to Zhang Liao, the morale of the people in Zhenyuan City would likely collapse completely.

As Lin Feng, Bian Xi, Li Ping'an, and Lü Zheng rushed towards the General's Mansion.

Diagonally opposite the General's Mansion, on the second floor of a restaurant, Chen Yu was squinting slightly, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

Downstairs, Chang'an Avenue was in complete chaos.

A group of thugs were engaged in a fierce battle with the guards who came out of the general's mansion. Blood was flowing everywhere, and the scene was horrific.

However, Chen Yu seemed not to have seen any of this.

After a short while, Chen Yu's confidant ran up from downstairs and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Mr. Chen, over there..."

After listening, Chen Yu sighed softly: "I didn't expect Chief Steward Zheng to be defeated so quickly. Pass on my order to send out the reserve team to block the people from the General's Mansion who are returning to reinforce."

The trusted confidant took the order and left to relay Chen Yu's command to the assassins hidden in the shadows...

The General's Mansion, backyard.

Chaos reigned outside the General's Mansion, but a large courtyard in the backyard remained silent.

"What's going on outside? Have the northern barbarians infiltrated?"

A young man broke the silence, looking worried, and said, "Won't the northern barbarians breach Zhenyuan City?"

"It doesn't look like it to me."

The man next to the young man analyzed in a deep, muffled voice.

"How long has Zhenyuan City been under lockdown? How did the northern barbarians manage to sneak in? They must have grown wings."

"It's probably because the thugs in the city saw that the wedding procession was grand and the bride was beautiful, and they wanted to rob her of her money and her virtue."

The young man curled his lip: "Robbery and rape? You'd risk your life for a little money and a woman?"

They were whispering amongst themselves, completely unaware that the group of disabled people sitting by the wall were taking out red pills from their clothes in perfect unison.

They held the pills, looked at each other, and then resolutely swallowed them.

"Gurgle!"

"Gurgle!"

"Gurgle!"

……

The pill went down, and the violent medicinal power surged instantly, causing excruciating pain in the abdomen, like being burned or pricked by needles.

The local people who lived nearby were curious when they saw this.

"Brothers, what are you eating? Is it medicine specially prepared for you by the government?"

"General Zhang is truly a living bodhisattva, taking care of those of you with disabilities, providing you with housing and medicine."

One of the disabled people had his head down and his body trembling slightly.

He let out a terrifying growl from his throat.

"Blood Edge Pill! Once you've taken the Blood Edge Pill, there's no turning back! For the Northern Barbarians, I'd die without regret!"

The people blinked, completely bewildered.

"What Blood Edge Pill? What Northern Barbarians? Northern Barbarians! You...you are Northern Barbarians?!"

The people's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the courtyard.

Everyone else looked in that direction and saw a horrifying scene.

Thirty-six disabled people slowly stood up, their bones cracking and popping.

Within their seemingly frail bodies, muscles rapidly bulge, revealing an explosive and terrifying power.

Moreover, his eyes turned completely crimson from clear to bright, and one after another, gleaming short blades slid from his sleeves.

The leader grinned and let out a loud shout that echoed throughout the courtyard.

"kill!"
