The city gate is about to be lost and the enemy is approaching. Please make plans early. "If these words didn't come from An Ruzhen's mouth, Xu Xiaoyu would really not believe it.
Looking at the flickering firelight on the horizon, this ancient old man was actually a little lost. His face flashed several times, and finally he straightened his back and slowly closed his eyes.
I thought I had everything in place, but in the end something went wrong and I took over the city and started an uprising, so it was defeated like this?
"Uncle Xu..." Seeing that the elder he had always respected was so sad, An Ruzhen couldn't help but comfort him softly, "Although Ruozhou is unavailable, the foundation of the Xu family has not been damaged. And this matter will definitely The news will be widely spread throughout the world and shake up the whole world. The forces dissatisfied with the imperial court in various places will not be able to contain it, and the Xia family will only become more and more difficult. And our great banner has been established, and we can recruit our comrades to expand our strength and prepare for future battles. "
Indeed, Ruozhou is the headquarters of the Xu family. But the Xu family's influence spread all over the world, far beyond just one Ruozhou.
Xu Xiaoyu nodded slightly and thought to himself: "This move was actually done as a last resort to protect the emperor. Only six or seven thousand people from Ruozhou headquarters were gathered, and the remaining 35,000 people were scattered everywhere. Of the six or seven thousand people in our army, most of them can still be retained. I, the Xu family, have tried their best to protect the emperor, and he always knows it in his heart, and he should praise this contribution in the future."
Many thoughts were tangled in his mind, and Xu Xiaoyu even felt that his failure to capture Ruozhou City this time was a blessing rather than a disaster, so he slowly opened his eyes and said softly: "Ru Zhen, the situation is very dangerous. You must meet up with your father immediately. Protect the Emperor and his entourage to leave Ruozhou."
After hearing this, An Ruzhen bowed slightly, said "Uncle Xu, take care" and walked away quickly. At this moment, his heart was far from as calm as it appeared on his face. Although Shicai had been comforting Xu Xiaoyu, he was also deeply disturbed by the fact that more than ten members of the An family's direct family were trapped here.
Seeing An Ruzhen walking away, Xu Xiaoyu showed a trace of regret on his face and sighed softly: "It's a pity that Suye is not Ruzhen."
...
A fire lit a sea of fire, burning a jade mansion.
Xu Jinye didn't have time to pay attention to the servants running around in the house, so he mobilized his inner strength and ran towards "Kong Zui" as fast as possible. In his opinion. Yi Qingxin's martial arts skills are sparse, and this situation is extremely dangerous at this time.
What he didn't expect was that all the hundreds of attics in the main residence were on fire, but the large garden house in the guest residence was not damaged at all. As smart as he is, he understands everything at once. Looking at the figures scattered in the darkness, Xu Jinye couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart.
When Xu Jinye rushed to the gate of the garden, he saw a woman running quickly. He took a closer look, who was it if it wasn't Yi Qingxin?
"Miss Yi, there's a fire outside, don't go out!" Xu Jinye was overjoyed to see Yi Qingxin again, forgetting everything. When he got closer, he realized that she was actually in tears, as if she was crying. Being sad, momentarily
Then he became nervous and said anxiously, "You...what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Yi Qingxin was crying while running, but she didn't pay attention to the person walking in front of her. When she reached the threshold, she found Xu Suye. She immediately stopped moving forward, but her upper body couldn't stop for a moment and fell down diagonally.
Without thinking much, Xu Suye hurriedly leaned down to the ground and flew out like a cluster of arrows, finally supporting her. Holding the beauty's jade arms with both hands, he fell into a trance for a moment.
"Second Young Master, please!" Yi Qingxin cried even harder when she saw that the person in front of her was Xu Jinye, "Go to Hongshi Bay quickly!"
She cried and spoke, grabbing his wrists with both hands and pulling him out.
Thinking of all the things happening in the house tonight, Xu Jinye knew that something important must have happened. He grabbed Yi Qingxin and said softly: "Miss Yi, what happened? What do you want me to do in Hongshi Bay?"
"They...they..." Yi Qingxin sobbed while wiping away tears, "There are people in Hongshiwan...they want to harm brother Yuanchen!"
...
Yi Buchen was young and energetic, and could run for seven or eight miles effortlessly. When he saw his grandfather in danger, he threw his sword without hesitation, and finally forced Mu Ji back a few steps.
With a distance of five or six steps, with Yi Qilin's skill, Duan Muyu and Mu Ju were unable to get close even though they had two penetrating wounds.
"How dare you shameless rats rely on more to win!" Yi Buchen pointed at Duanmu Yu and cursed.
As soon as he finished speaking, six more figures hurried over and stood next to Yi Qilin. It was Yi Jiaming, Fang Tianshu, He Zhengsheng, Tan Jing, Yao Chujiu, and Guan Hanyu from the Yufeng Escort Bureau.
"Jia Ming, Tianshu, why are you here?" Yi Qilin tapped a few large acupuncture points to stop the blood flow, frowned and asked the two of them, "What should I do if something goes wrong at home?"
Yi Jiaming saw that his father had been injured on the abdomen and back and was bleeding all over his body. His tears immediately fell and he sobbed softly: "Dad, what else is more important than the safety of the three of you? Not to mention that Jia Lin and Bu Yi are guarding 'Kong Zui' , nothing can go wrong."
Yao Chujiu saw Xue Dingyi lying on the ground, walked quickly to him, knelt on one knee and stretched out his hand to feel his breath, and after a while he cried: "Master!"
At this time, everyone knew that the deputy chief escort had been killed by the enemy, so they all drew their swords and started to kill the nearest enemy.
Although our side still has the advantage in numbers, there are still nine people on the Yufeng Escort side who can fight, and the seven people who have just arrived are all young adults, and they share the same hatred, so it is absolutely impossible to capture them in a short time. Duanmu Yu, as there was no hope of revenge tonight, it was not appropriate to entangle with the enemy, so he slowly retreated outside the battle circle.
At this moment, An Ruqing appeared at the bank of Hongshi Bay with dozens of people, quietly approaching Duanmuyu.
to divide in the middle of the night
In order to eliminate enemies, the An and Chen families had made an agreement with Duan Muyu early on. Everyone in the An family would wear black face masks, and everyone in the Chen family would wear painted face masks, while the direct lineage of the two families would be marked with three-color armbands.
Duanmuyu recognized that the person who came was An Ruqing, nodded slightly, and motioned for him to come closer.
After the seven men from Yi Jiaming joined the battle, the men in black who besieged Mei Yuanchen divided into four or five men to attack Yi Buchen and Yao Chujiu. Mei Yuanchen was fighting one against three. Although he was weak and short of breath at this moment, he was able to protect himself with the help of his body skills and the strength of his sword skills.
"Yi Qilin, do you want the people from the Yufeng Escort Bureau to die here tonight?" Duanmu Yuduqi, who was outside the battle circle, asked Yi Qilin.
Originally, with two masters An Wuyu and Xie Tianying on his side, he had more than half a chance of winning. With the thirty-odd people brought by An Ruqing just now, if they continue to fight, the people from Yufeng Escort Bureau will die sooner or later. thing.
Duanmuyu understands it, Yi Qilin understands it, and everyone here already understands it.
"Stop!" Yi Qilin suddenly shouted and told everyone in Yufeng Escort Bureau, "Withdraw, now take Vice President Xue back."
Even though he was unwilling, he really didn't want these children and grandchildren to fight with each other. This was also the reason why he only brought his two elders to Hongshiwan.
Everyone had their own thoughts, so both sides gave up with a tacit understanding, and each was on guard to retreat.
Seeing their enemies leaving calmly, Yi Buchen, Yao Chujiu and others were so angry that their eyes were split open, but they were helpless. None of them are young people. On the contrary, these seven people have been traveling in the world for a long time, and their knowledge is far beyond comparison with other people. They had just fought each other, and soon discovered that all of these twenty or so people were good at martial arts, and they were afraid that they would not be able to take advantage. Continuing to entangle will only increase the damage.
"Dad, are you injured?" After confirming that Duanmuyu and his party were far away, Yi Jiaming hurriedly asked about his father's injury.
Yi Qilin looked towards the direction where the group of people disappeared, with a grim expression, as if he had never heard his son's question. After a while, he turned back and walked straight to Xue Dingyi's body. He endured the pain and squatted down slightly, mourning. He sighed and said: "Old brother, I didn't expect that tonight would be the time for you and me to say goodbye. You just go on your way and wait for me on the road to hell for a few years."
The remaining eight people were all saddened after hearing this, and they couldn't help but weep and sob.
Mei Yuanchen stood several feet away from Yufeng's group, not sure whether he was afraid or unwilling to get close. When Yi Qilin came over, he saw him lowering his head to wipe away his tears, so he softly comforted him and said, "Yuan Chen, this is not your fault, so there is no need to blame yourself. Just go back and take a look at your injury."
After listening to the old man's words, several people realized that the boy who had been standing behind him was also seriously injured, and they couldn't help but look worried again. Yi Buchen thought Mei Yuanchen was his future brother-in-law. Two men walked closer, grabbed his hand and felt his pulse. After counting his breaths, he murmured to himself: "How come he's not dead yet?"
