It was quiet in the inner house.
The expected volley of powerful crossbows and traps and ambush did not appear, and the huge courtyard was empty.
"strangeness……"
Several people looked at each other and couldn't help but become more wary.
"Everyone, be careful and don't separate!"
The four of them explored carefully. Although they were a little impatient, they did not act rashly.
Under normal circumstances, if they were suddenly attacked, Wang Dezai and other senior officials would definitely protect the old, young, women and children in the back house and retreat, and the people outside would buy them time.
The reason why Zhao Donglai and the others hurriedly broke into the inner house was to intercept Wang Dezai and others so as not to escape Dayu.
But the outer house was brightly lit, but the inner house was dark, with only sparse starlight falling.
"Something's not right..."
Zhao Donglai and others searched the inner house, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.
As they went deeper and deeper, the shouts and screams heard in their ears became much quieter, and they were almost reaching the deepest part of the mansion.
And just then:
"Um?"
Zhao Donglai and others looked stern as they noticed the approach of three figures in the darkness.
Among the three people, the leader was an elegant-looking old man, flanked by two middle-aged men, both with gloomy expressions and cold eyes.
This old man is none other than Wang Dezai, the youngest son of the deceased Grandmaster Wang, the head of the Wang family and the governor of Changping County.
"Wang Dezai, you are finally willing to give up!"
Zhao Donglai was the first to speak, with a sarcastic tone in his tone, but he subconsciously tightened the handle of the knife in his hand.
"Zhao Donglai, Yun Yi, and the two old ghosts from the Chen family and the Li family... OK, OK!"
Wang Dezai's eyes swept across them, and he laughed angrily: "I accepted all the benefits, and promised well, but when things happened, they all reneged on their promises!"
The two middle-aged men beside him were also furious.
As long as one of the four major forces in Changping City truly stood with them, the Wang family would not be in this situation today.
"Just stop talking nonsense."
Zhao Donglai said disdainfully: "You used to be domineering and domineering over us, and now you want to make amends? Don't you think it's too late?"
"Wang Dezai, your father has been dead for half a month and has not yet been buried. I'm afraid he will not be able to rest in peace, right?"
"shut up!"
Wang Dezai's beard and hair were all flaring, furious, and his eyes were extremely cold: "Just a few of you, you want to overthrow my Wang family, it's just wishful thinking!"
He said, clapped his hands and sneered: "You two, please come out."
Before he finished speaking, two figures quietly appeared in the shadows on the side.
One is a man as tall and strong as an iron tower, with cold steel gloves on his hands; the other is a slender swordsman, wearing an iron hat and a cold expression.
"I actually have help..."
Zhao Donglai and others' expressions suddenly changed, and their hearts sank.
You don't need to ask to know that these two people who suddenly appeared must be extremely masters.
In such a short period of time, under their close surveillance, the Wang family found two helpers from nowhere.
You must know that the most powerful people are not cabbage. It is extremely difficult to buy them with money alone. Changping is a county seat with a population of hundreds of thousands, but there are only a few. Where did these two come from?
They are both top masters, and having one more player is a huge advantage. Now the situation is reversed, and they become the weaker side.
"Hahaha……"
Wang Dezai looked at their faces and suddenly laughed happily:
"I have a master in the Wang family and have accumulated many years of connections. How can you imagine that?"
"On the contrary, it's you guys. I've already predicted that you will regard Changping City as your own, and you will definitely not invite helpers."
"This time, it's really like you're trapped in a cocoon!"
After hearing his words, Zhao Donglai and others immediately understood.
They want to capture the thieves first and capture the king first, but the Wang family also wants to catch them all to avoid future troubles!
It was precisely because Wang Dezai had anticipated their action plan that he used himself as bait to lure them away from the large army and into an encirclement trap.
"What a good plan!"
Zhao Donglai thought of Zhang Yao, and immediately felt certain in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to talk more."
"Let's meet Zhenzhang!"
Wang Dezai pulled out the long sword from his waist and sneered: "Just what I want!"
The next moment:
"Shua!" "Qiang!"...
The sword's light, the sword's shadow, and the sharp wind suddenly exploded in the courtyard.
"Wang Dezai, die!"
Zhao Donglai roared angrily, leaped like a galloping horse, brandished the machete in his hand, and faced Wang Dezai.
The two middle-aged men on the side wanted to join forces to attack, but unexpectedly, Yun Yi showed his sword and actively brought the two of them into the battle circle, which surprised everyone present.
"I can only hold it off for a quarter of an hour."
Yun Yi had no expression on his face and spat out a few words.
The light of his sword was like the waves of flowing water, showing his superb swordsmanship, and actually held back the two top masters of the Wang family.
"There's a show!"
The remaining old men of the Chen family and the Li family immediately cheered up and met the strong man like an iron tower and the swordsman wearing an iron hat respectively.
"Boom!" "Cang!" "Whoosh!"...
Nine top masters competed in the courtyard, moving around, fists, wind and sword energy surging. Bricks and stones burst, beams and columns collapsed, and flowers and plants suffered disaster.
In just a few breaths, the situation became clearer:
The two old men of the Chen family and the Li family knew that Yun Yi could not hold on for long, so they were eager to win and made very ruthless and decisive moves.
However, their respective opponents only came here to repay a favor and had no intention of fighting for their lives. With passive procrastination, it was difficult for them to win quickly.
On the other side: Although Yun Yi's swordsmanship was powerful, the two masters of the Wang family joined forces and cooperated with each other to suppress him firmly. It was only a matter of time before they defeated him.
Wang Dezai glanced with his peripheral vision and judged that the situation was great, and he was overjoyed: "The advantage is mine!"
With this idea in mind, he became more and more conservative in the fight, and danced the "Fourteen Swords of Taichang" passed down from his family in such a way that no ink could be spilled and no water could leak.
But what surprised him was that Zhao Donglai on the opposite side didn't seem to be impatient. Although the "Thunder Sword Technique" was used at full strength, and the sword flashed like thunder, he still fought steadily.
"Dang!" "Dang!"...
Both of them are long-established masters. In the fierce sword fight and the interplay of light and shadow, they can collide more than ten times in an instant, so fast that they can't even see their shadows clearly.
With this kind of fighting intensity, if a perfect cross-training warrior like Zhou An encountered him, he would only be able to sustain it for ten rounds at most, and then he would be pierced through vital parts such as his temples, eyes, and ears, and die on the spot.
After fighting for half a quarter of an hour, Zhao Donglai had been deliberately leading Wang Dezai into the corner and distanced himself from the rest of the battle group.
Wang Dezai concentrated on defense, so he was inevitably at a disadvantage and could not be distracted, but he did not notice this.
"about there……"
"Why doesn't that kid take action?"
