Taian City.
The city gates on all sides were successfully blocked.
But for some reason, Xu Santong always felt uneasy in his heart.
This feeling fills my heart, like throwing a stone into a calm lake and causing ripples.
"Sir, something is wrong."
It was Master who spoke.
The master's small eyes have been narrowed to a slit, and when he looks ahead, a gleam of light flashes from time to time.
"What's wrong?" Xu Santong asked.
"It's so smooth, sir. It shouldn't be. It stands to reason that these four city gates and the chess pieces of the Wei family will cause some troubles. How could it be so easy for my lord to take over?"
The master thinks there is something fishy here.
"Yes, the Wei family is up to something."
"Let's go to Wei's house and have a look!"
Xu Santong hesitated for a moment and finally made a decision.
This decision is not easy to make. You must know that the strength of the Wei family is very important, and the inside of the Wei family manor is like a dragon pond and a tiger's den.
If he stays near the city gate, he can advance, attack, retreat or defend. If the Wei family comes, he can rely on the city gate and wait for reinforcements.
However, if he leads his troops directly to the Wei family...
The dangers faced are extremely great.
"Sir, do you want to think about it? The Wei family is too dangerous." Master advised.
"We still need to take a look. Let's go on horseback. If the momentum is wrong, we should retreat immediately. Master, you are here with the men and horses, ready to respond at any time."
Xu Santong immediately made arrangements and ordered two military generals and guards with superior martial arts to follow him. A group of about ten people rode fast horses together and rushed towards the location of the Wei family.
The Wei Family Manor is located on the west side of Tai'an City. It is a large area, covering half of the hilltop.
"The Wei family is in the distance."
Xu Santong's heart was already aroused.
The Wei family in the distance looked like a giant beast, crawling on the ground.
The tall archway outside and the rows of tall white jade statues look very majestic, making people feel fearful when they look at it from a distance.
"Wei family, why are there no guards outside?"
What surprised Xu Santong was that there should be neatly arranged guards near the rows of statues.
The Wei family maintains a large number of guards. Those guards are naturally the guardians of the family. Although they do not have forbidden armor, they also have leather armor and swords.
Those guards are all highly skilled in martial arts and are not ordinary people.
But at this moment, Xu Santong didn't see a single guard.
"Sir, something is fishy. Is there a trap?"
Following Xu Santong was Ning Chengde, the hidden guard. He was the adopted son of Ning Feng, the commander of the hidden guard, and he had outstanding martial arts skills.
"I can't even tell what kind of medicine is being sold in the Wei family's gourd." Xu Santong touched the beard on his chin, his eyes flickering.
What does the Wei family want to do?
"Let's do this, sir. I'll go check it out by myself. If something goes wrong, I can break out and leave. As long as there is no strong master, they won't be able to keep me."
Ning Chengde suggested.
"Okay, Commander Ning, please be careful and escape unscathed no matter what."
Xu Santong thought for a moment and agreed.
Probably because he knew Ning Chengde's true ability.
The reason why he could sleep well these days was because Ning Chengde was here.
When Zi Yan left Ning Chengde in Tai'an City, he told him that Ning Chengde could protect his life against a hundred enemies.
Ning Chengde dismounted, took off his armor, and placed it on the saddle. Then, he lifted the sword with one hand and his body floated away like a puff of smoke.
Xu Santong took the others to a nearby hiding place.
Within a certain period of time, if Ning Chengde did not show up, he would not rush in to rescue him, but would only choose to escape.
After all, it would be useless for him to rush in. On the contrary, he would be trapped in it and become a bargaining chip for the Wei family to offend.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Santong saw a figure floating down not far in front of him.
He quickly looked at Ning Chengde.
After confirming that there was no blood or damage on his body, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on with the Wei family?" Xu Santong asked.
"The Wei family has disappeared." Ning Chengde's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Disappeared...disappeared?" Xu Santong was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Ning Chengde meant.
"It just disappeared. There was no one in the Wei family, not even chickens or dogs. The whole area was silent."
What Ning Chengde said was unbelievable even to him, but he knew that what he said was true.
"How come the Wei family disappeared?"
Xu Santong's speech was a little disorganized and quite incoherent.
"Commander Ning, is there no one in the Wei family?"
"Yes, there is no one there. The Wei family is empty. Sir, we can go over and have a look. I promise, it won't be a trap." Ning Chengde looked very serious.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look."
Xu Santong clenched his fingers into fists.
Now that you have decided to go and have a look, you can’t hold back.
Among the group of people, Ning Chengde walked at the front, while Xu Santong was surrounded by everyone in the middle.
Ahead, there is a wide bluestone road, paved very finely and neatly, which is a symbol of the Wei family's financial strength.
In front of the Wei family, the door is wide open, and the scenery inside is blocked by a huge wall of paintings, like the fear hidden in the darkness.
Ning Chengde didn't hesitate, he was the first to rush in.
A group of more than a dozen people rode across the threshold and rushed into Wei's house!
"The Wei family...there is really no one!"
"No, the Wei family escaped."
Xu Santong finally understood the truth.
Because the fear of the Wei family always remained in his heart, he had always ignored this simplest and obvious truth.
"The Wei family can actually escape."
Xu Santong laughed, tears overflowing from his eyes.
This was really beyond his imagination, but when he thought about it carefully, it made sense.
Yes, why can't the Wei family escape?
The Wei family is not a real dragon. In the final analysis, it is just a local aristocratic family.
Even if the power is overwhelming, so what? Is it really possible to fight against the Da Qi court?
At this moment, Xu Santong felt that his thoughts were clear, and all the previous frustrations were gone.
"Commander Ning, let's check everywhere to see where the Wei family escaped from," Xu Santong ordered.
In such a short period of time, the Wei family actually evacuated the entire family, which shows how strong the potential of the Wei family is.
The entire retreat process was so secretive that no one was alerted. This alone was enough to make people fearful.
"The Wei family should have escaped from here."
Not long after, Ning Chengde found a huge entrance.
Just at the back, near the back mountain, there is a huge entrance, open.
