Bang~
As soon as Zhong Yan and the others stepped into the gate, a figure flew straight backwards like a meteor, smashing out a spreading spider web on the large round stone pillar surrounding them. The walls and buildings trembled, and dust rustled down.
Zhong Yan: "..."
Li Shangwen: "..."
Zhong Xiaozhong: "..."
Xia He: "..."
Tang Xiaoshu: "..."
We promised to be full of fighting spirit and full of confidence. This is just a meeting, right?
Mazhida turned his head to look, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face. He looked forward and twisted his neck, and said with a smile: "You have some strength!"
It has to be said that Xue Mansion is too big. In the front yard alone, a circular well in the middle covers hundreds of square meters, with rockeries, potted plants, surrounding flowers and plants, and a pond; the area from the front corridor to the front corridor is enough. There are more than ten acres.
In the open field, there were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
There were forty or fifty people standing.
Seeing Zhong Yan walking in at this moment, they all stopped in unison, and then heard the scattered sounds of fighting coming from all over the courtyard.
Xue Shanhu, who was wearing a white brocade robe, had disheveled hair and blood all over his body, but his eyes were extremely sharp.
He just glanced at Zhong Yan, then raised his head to look at Huo Dong, who was holding a sword in the air. Finally, he looked at Ma Zhida and said calmly: "You can't do that."
"Who doesn't know how to tell big words!" Ma Zhida sneered, stepped back and kicked on the beam to gain strength, held the knife and rushed away, instantly fighting with Xue Shanhu.
Like a horn, the warriors who were killing each other in threes, threes, and twos started fighting again and collided with each other.
Swords flashed, sparks shot, and blood splattered.
Zhong Yan looked at Guo Qingxue who was surrounded and protected by seven or eight warriors on the other side. Apart from the bloody sword in her hand, she was clean-looking and neatly dressed.
"Block thief! You..." Guo Qingxue said sharply.
Zhong Yan stood with his sword in hand and interrupted: "Mrs. Xue, you have disappointed Zhong so much. Clean up and let you go."
Then, he tilted his head, and Li Shangwen and others spread out and began to touch up the warriors who fell to the ground but were not dead.
Guo Qingxue's eyes flickered and she exchanged glances with the people around her.
After a moment, Xue Hongyi came out of the queue, holding his sword in his fist and saying: "Master Zhongxian, let my wife go first. We will ensure that no one is left alive in the Xue family!"
Zhong Yan moved aside and said calmly: "The city gate is blocked, think of a way yourself."
Guo Qingxue was a little disbelieving. She glanced at Huo Donglai high in the sky and hesitated.
Xue Hongyi hurriedly said: "Master's wife, let's go, let's go quickly!"
Others said one after another: "Yes, Master (Madam), don't worry about us!"
Looking at the sincere and eager faces, Guo Qingxue felt extremely regretful at this moment, with tears in her eyes, wishing she could stay and fight to the end and die together. Several of them were disciples she had watched grow up and taught with her own hands.
But when she thought of the child in her belly, she bit her lip, held back tears and looked at them one by one: "...take care!"
Then he turned around decisively, tapped his toes on the ground, and walked out of the door with a few ups and downs as light as a swallow, disappearing into the night.
As for how to show mercy to Zhong Yan?
How could she not know that it was impossible?
I just hope that I can really escape and settle down my brothers' families.
"kill!"
Xue Hongyi roared angrily, and a group of people rushed away and headed towards the inner courtyard to kill the general.
Guo Qingxue, who had not escaped far from Xue Mansion, was thrown up in mid-air and rolled down to the grass on the roadside.
A short sword flew back to Yang Yanqing's hand.
Even if Xue Shanhu is let go, Zhong Yan will not keep Guo Qingxue.
Inside Xue Mansion.
Huo Donglai flew with his sword, using the long sword to harvest the lives of each warrior at will.
Zhong Yan looked at Xue Shanhu and Ma Zhida in the battle, and was shocked in his heart.
Xue Shanhu made a tiger fist, and the true energy in the fist was condensed into the shadow of a tiger, which roared from time to time. Every time a punch was struck, strong winds broke through the air, touching walls, stone pillars, and sculptures, and gravel flew. It was a huge sound and a visual impact. Extremely strong.
Even after consuming a lot of energy, Mazhida was forced to retreat.
From the square to the corridor, they entered the house and knocked down the wall together again when they came out again. The two of them were surrounded by zhenqi, like human-shaped weapons, pushing everything aside.
"Vigorous!"
Zhong Yan couldn't help but admire in his heart, if he was approached by Xue Shanhu, he would be smashed into pieces at the first glance.
Half an hour later.
Ma Zhida achieved victory for the first time. He hit Xue Shanhu with a long leg from the roof, directly hitting Xue Shanhu's chest, causing him to fly backwards to the ground.
However, when Xue Shanhu was about to throw the stone on his back, he hit the ground with his palm, spun his body and punched straight towards Zhong Yan.
It'll be there in the blink of an eye.
Zhong Yan had a calm look on his face, a layer of golden light appeared on his body, but he was concentrating on the battle and immediately activated the second-level amulet.
Bang~
His feet scraped against the ground, leaving two friction marks. Zhong Yan was knocked back more than three feet before he could stop himself. Qi and blood surged in his body.
"I won't play with you anymore!"
Mazhida shook his hand and threw the sword, spinning and slashing. Another long sword suddenly appeared in the air and slashed towards Xue Shanhu's back.
Xue Shanhu moved left and right, barely dodging, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. Ma Zhida was already close, his palm slashing at the door, while the broadsword and flying sword followed him like a shadow, and kept slashing as if they had eyes.
The situation took a turn for the worse, and the Xianwu fellow practitioners' powerful combat power was fully revealed.
After more than 20 rounds, Xue Shanhu was killed by a knife that penetrated the back of his heart while fighting with Mazhida's fists.
Zhong Yan stepped forward with a smile, "How about it?"
Ma Zhida let out a long breath and showed admiration, "This guy is really powerful. His true energy is strong and powerful. I don't need magic. I think it will take three of him to kill him."
After a pause, he added: "He is less than fifty years old and is still at the peak of martial arts. Given time, he has great hope of breaking through to the master level."
Zhong Yan nodded in agreement, "What a pity."
The two of them walked towards the inside, and corpses lay scattered everywhere they passed, filled with blood.
After two sticks of incense.
Huo Donglai flew down and nodded, indicating that the remaining surviving warriors had been dealt with.
Soon, Li Shangwen and Xia He came to the main hall with two women.
Xia He's pretty face turned a little pale, "My husband, female maids and non-armed servants are all hiding in the 12th side hall in the backyard. There are more than two hundred of them."
Li Shangwen pointed at the two of them and said: "Uncle, this is Xue Shanhu's concubine and knows where Xue Shanhu's secret room is. This is Guo Qingxue's personal maid and also knows many of her master's secrets."
"Send a signal and conduct detailed interrogations. The close relatives and family members will be killed, and other irrelevant maids and servants will be sent away."
"Yes, uncle!"
Li Shangwen took out a small bamboo tube and pulled it into the air, and a ball of light the size of a lychee exploded into the sky like fireworks.
At the same time, the warriors from the Li Family Martial Arts Hall who were preparing to be far outside the Xue Mansion, led by Li Yang personally, rushed into the Xue Mansion and began to clean up the corpses and search for property.
Ma Zhida smiled and said: "Find Xue Shanhu's exercises and make a copy for me."
"certainly."
A quarter of an hour later.
Zhong Yan left people behind, and he, Huo Donglai, and Ma Zhida left the Xue Mansion and threw Xue Shanhu's head on the street.
Many monks, guests and warrior families in the Southern District saw this and were all shocked.
The illustrious reputation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
…
City Lord's Mansion.
Qin Ben and Zhang Shun sat in the meeting hall all night, and soldiers came in from time to time to report on the situation.
"Reporting to the city lord, the arsenal has been completely controlled. Only five furnaces were damaged. All the thieves and bandits have been killed. No more than a hundred casualties have been killed..."
"City Lord, the Xue Family Martial Arts School has been eradicated by Wan Tang..."
"City Lord, many of the direct lineage warriors in the Xue Mansion, including Xue Shanhu, have been killed..."
"..."
"City Lord, Wan Tang and the Canal Transport Gang are very measured. No innocent people were harmed. The damage was very small. It is expected that order will be restored soon and the city lockdown will be lifted..."
"Report to the city lord to stabilize the situation at the military academy and kill the rebel spies related to the Wu League, a total of 2,682 people. The rest of the tribesmen who were deceived and incited are willing to surrender and are temporarily detained. There are still names in the list. There are six people on the run..."
Until I heard the news.
Qin Bencai breathed out secretly and stood up from the chair, "Very good! Tell General Meng to appease the sergeants. The situation should not get any bigger. Just send a small team to chase him!"
"The last general takes command!"
Qin Ben walked to the door of the hall, looked at the rising sun in the east, and said with a smile, "The weather is good."
Zhang Shun stood side by side beside him and pondered for a moment, "There are still too many people. If the news reaches the capital, I'm afraid they will ask for help."
Qin Ben didn't take it seriously, confusing right and wrong and imposing crimes: "Reorganizing the rebels, why do you want to interfere? Since you have done it, you must clean it up."
Zhang Shun nodded.
The two of them admired the sunrise for a while, and Qin Ben suddenly asked a confused question, "What do you think, sir?"
Zhang Shundao: "The great wisdom is like a demon, with endless tricks."
Qin Ben sighed with emotion on his face: "Yes, there are not many people I admire, and now I have one more person. When the restaurant incident broke out, I have never met him, but he made me willing to help, even at the expense of profits, and brought in the Water Transport Gang and ten thousand people." Tang, when I arrived, I was grateful to him for giving me a big gift, and for the many experts in the Xue Mansion. Without my help, he solved the problem by himself..."
A flash of light flashed in Zhang Shun's eyes, "Using grass as soldiers is simple to think about, but it is extremely clever. Without this key, if our troops are unknown, we are afraid that the movement will be too big to deal with."
"..."
If Zhong Yan were here and heard such high praise, he would probably blush and be embarrassed, sorry.
When it comes to wisdom and strategy, he thinks that he is far inferior to Zhang Shun, who is known as the "genius scholar". Among all the living beings in this Xianwu Continent, he may not be able to reach the upper-middle level.
He excels in his vision, and his greatest asset is that he has been a man for two lifetimes.
For example, in terms of strategy, there are many countries, big and small, in the entire Xianwu Continent, and there are wars almost every day. There are countless counselors like Zhuge and Sima in the previous life.
Although there is no magical book like "Sun Tzu's Art of War", various familiar strategies often appear in it.
Zhong Yan is just standing on the shoulders of giants, based on information and materials, and drawing on the gourd.
Let’s just say that Xue Mansion was destroyed this time.
Occupy the right time, place and people.
And a lot of luck.
According to his original plan, the first step was to let Yan Sandao go to sea, and the crucial second step was to act out a falling out at the 'negotiation table' of the city lord's palace and reach a consensus with Qin Ben.
In fact, he obtained information about Guo Qingxue and Xue Hongyi in Fangshi and was sure of victory.
If not, even if you are confident that you can win the Xue Mansion, you will still have to go through a hard battle.
