After listening to the president/master's scolding, everyone in the courtyard was eager to give it a try even though they didn't have any handy weapons in their hands.
But the next moment, before they could take action, the two men in black robes, one on the left and one on the right, turned into two strong winds coming from the ground. Two almost identical sword lights flew up at the same time, rolling up waves of blood.
Layers upon layers of mountains, eighteen cuts—flying streams around the mountain!
Most of the guests who came to have a wedding banquet did not bring any weapons. Even if they carried some daggers and short knives, they would not be of any use against these two terrifying long knives.
In just a dozen blinks of an eye, two tornado-like blades of light struck the hall from the left and right, leaving behind a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood.
There were more than a hundred people in the courtyard, but no one could withstand even a single move.
In fact, the speed of the two people's transformation was astonishing. With one swing of the nearly seven-foot-long sword, they quickly moved in an arc according to their body shape. On average, each sword cut off three or four heads. It was simply faster than mowing grass. Quickly, no one, including the more than 30 key players of the Black Snake Club, can escape the sword.
Although there were a lot of people in the yard, under such killings, a mere hundred people were simply not enough for them to kill.
Wang Long's feet were so frightened that two sword lights rolled in front of him, one on the left and one on the right. He didn't have the courage to fight to the death with the sword at all.
He had seen a lot of killing and being killed, but how had he ever seen such a method of killing like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?
This is not the killing method of people in the Jianghu at all, but the military swordsmanship that requires forcibly cutting a bloody path in a dense military formation.
What's more, despite these years of pampering, although he has not put down his kung fu, Wang Long is no longer the young man who fought desperately in the past.
Two rays of sword light swept past.
Until the last moment, Wang Long did not dare to swing the long knife in his hand. He was cut into seven or eight pieces of rotten flesh before he could even finish his sentence of mercy.
In the hall, several agile warriors had already rushed into the back hall, leaving only a pale young man in front of the wine table.
The man sat motionless, seeing the light of the sword coming towards the ground, and shouted loudly: "My father is——"
The swords flashed left and right, and the young man and the table were cut into pieces.
The sword light faded away, and two men in black robes appeared.
Lu Wu asked: "What did he say just now?"
"I didn't hear clearly, but he must not be a good person to appear here." Qiutong said.
"That's right. I wonder how Hongmei and the others were intercepting and killing them outside. Did they kill them all?" Lu Wu said.
Lu Wu always felt a little uncomfortable even if he didn't kill everyone - people who engage in art have some obsessive-compulsive disorder that strives for perfection.
When Lu Wu was on Earth, he was also an outstanding student graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts.
"Master, Qingzhu is holding a bow and arrow at a high place, and there are red plums and golden chrysanthemums blocking the back door. They can't escape. We'd better find the property first. We can't help the Chu Kingdom in vain - we have to get some reward."
————————————————————
Wu State, Songjing.
After the Songjing Rebellion, King Ke Tu of Wu ascended to the throne of Wu King with many dangers. The government affairs of the court were complicated, and it was extremely nerve-wracking to deal with them. However, despite his busy schedule, he still asked about Lu Wu.
"Where is Doctor Jinwu now?" Ketu raised his head from the desk and rubbed his neck.
"Doctor Jin Wu has passed through Lanshui and is currently in the area of Nanhe City." Attendant Lin Zhong replied.
Lin Chong was an old man in the Prince's Yuan Mansion, and his father Lin Ji was now promoted to the General of Wuwei, and was in charge of the Shui Xiaowei and Shesheng Xiaowei, so he was placed beside him to show his importance. Lin Zhong is now responsible for screening military intelligence, similar to a special secretary in the secretarial team.
"Why haven't you caught up with Doctor Jinwu yet?" Wu Wang Ketu frowned and asked.
What he was talking about was that the King of Wu's court sent several elite veterans to Lu Wu to take care of Lu Wu's daily affairs, and at the same time ensure that Lu Wu was not recruited by other countries - that would be a huge loss.
"Doctor Jinwu traveled very quickly. When our people arrived at the Lanshui Ferry, they had already crossed the river. It is said that Dr. Jinwu fought a battle with the Chu navy on the river and sank a Chu warship - now there is Lan We are separated by water, so the news hasn't come back yet, but they must be by Dr. Jinwu's side at this moment."
Lin Zhong said.
He is Lu Wu's brother-in-law, but since Wu Wang Ketu calls Lu Wu Doctor Jinwu, he naturally cannot say, "What is my brother-in-law?" '
"How did the Lu family react?" Wu Wang Ketu asked.
"Uncle Lu sent Jiao Heng, the leader of the generals, to chase Dr. Jin Wu, but Jiao Heng has not yet crossed the water."
This news was not reported from the military intelligence channel, but from his wife.
Lu Wu sneaked away without saying a word, which really messed up Lu Jinhe's plan and made Lu Jinhe furious.
But everyone ran away, and Lu Jinhe had no choice but to send people to chase him - they still had no information about King Wu, and by the time it was confirmed that Lu Wu was heading towards Chu, more than a week had passed.
(This news was revealed to the Lu family privately by King Wu Ketu.)
"Do you think Dr. Jin Wu will come back?" Ke Tu asked.
Lin Zhong thought about it carefully before replying: "I don't know."
Lin Zhong was actually not optimistic that Lu Wu would come back. At least in the short term, the chance of Lu Wu coming back was slim.
"Oh, if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?" Ketu sighed, feeling a little regretful.
What is this!
Who would have thought that something as beautiful as a marriage or a promotion could actually force someone to run away.
After Lu Wu rubbed oil on his feet, Ketu missed Lu Wu even more.
As soon as he ascended the throne, he found that handling state affairs was much more difficult than he had imagined. Although he was somewhat mentally prepared, when he actually sat in this position, he realized that even the King of Wu must have the strength to promote policies.
Among other things, all countries in the Central Plains have basically achieved centralization of power, and the power of the nobility has been greatly weakened. The local nobility basically only retains the power to obtain wealth from the territory, and military and judicial power have been nationalized.
However, the local nobles of Wu State were powerful, and the royal court could not station troops in the nobles' private territories, let alone interfere with the territorial justice.
Now that there are threats from the Chu State outside and many local nobles inside, the position of King of Wu is not so easy to sit on.
If Lu Wu was still there, Ketu would have the confidence to bargain with the local nobles and take back some of his power.
It is impossible to achieve the goal in one step, and it will definitely require a big fight.
But small progress is still possible.
If the royal court takes a step forward, the local nobles will take a step back.
This depends on strength comparison and timing.
In small-scale battles in local areas, with Lu Wu taking action, it can be overwhelming, and the problem will definitely be solved before the situation escalates - this is a great advantage.
Unless there is a complete break-up and all the local nobles in Wu State unite to rebel, it will definitely be a small-scale rebellion by individual nobles. As long as it can be suppressed in time, it will not lead to a major chaos.
And more importantly, Lu Wu is incredibly lazy and has no ambition at all, so there is no need to worry about him causing trouble.
It's a pity that I didn't study Lu Wu's growth process and character carefully at the beginning, and he actually annoyed him so much that he ran away - luckily, I thought it was a reward.
