My enemies became my companions

Chapter 48: Entering Yuxiu Village

The tall horse snorted and stomped on the fallen leaves on the ground playfully.

Nearly fifty or sixty guards from the East and West factories all crushed the dead leaves and appeared at the gates of Yuxiu Manor.

Chen Yi privately found Min Ming to learn about the details of Yuxiu Zhuang and learned that they were unloading and loading goods today. In order to catch the criminal red-handed, he waited patiently for a day.

The sentence "What's your business if I bring weapons?!" angered all the guards, but when they saw the Jinyiwei coming aggressively, they couldn't help but step back several steps.

Chen Yi drew his sword and pointed at the gate of Yuxiu Manor.

"No one is allowed to stop the East Factory from investigating the case."

The guards' faces tensed. They held guns and sticks in their hands and didn't know what to do for a moment. There was a large amount of Wu Shi San in Yuxiu Manor today. If they allowed this group of Jinyiwei to go in and investigate the case, even if Prince Jing's Mansion had powerful connections, Yuxiu Manor would be in a half-dead situation.

"Sir, please allow me to report first..."

Seeing the Jinyiwei coming aggressively, the leader of the security guards broke out in a cold sweat and changed his tone.

"Now that you have been briefed, what are we investigating?"

Chen Yi asked back, then pulled the reins, faced the gate, and was about to ride in.

"No adults!"

The leader of the guards became anxious and immediately stepped forward with his gun to stop them.

Then, he heard a cold voice.

"Those who wantonly used force against two factories and one guard to obstruct the investigation will be executed immediately."

Chen Yi said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Min Ning drew his sword and slashed out.

The sudden attack caught the leader of the guards off guard. With a devastating blow, his hands holding the guns were instantly cut off and he let out a scream.

The situation suddenly became chaotic and a fierce battle broke out outside Yuxiu Manor.

The sounds of swordsmanship and killing were heard outside the village, and how could the Feng family father and son inside the village not be alarmed?

"Jinyiwei? Who led the Jinyiwei? Who dares to lead the Jinyiwei to investigate Yuxiu Manor?!"

Master Feng asked in a cold voice.

"My Lord, it's... it's that Captain Chen Yi from the Western Factory! He brought that Min Ning and a group of Jinyiwei to surround the manor!"

The steward said tremblingly.

Manor Master Feng had a gloomy expression and kept pacing in the hall. After thinking quickly, he gave the order:

"Send someone out through the small door first, and tell them to stop unloading the cargo."

"But sir, there are still a lot of goods in the farm. What should we do with them? Should we sink them into the lake?"

"They can also be found in the sunken lake. We must not let them find out! Call everyone out. We, father and son, will fight them to the death!"

Manor Master Feng said in a voice that was almost a roar, then quickly picked up his weapon and walked towards the martial arts field.

His son Feng Luo also had a gloomy face. He drew his sword and went with his father.

The wolfhound barked anxiously.

...............

The Jinyiwei from the East and West Factories had originally launched a surprise attack, and now they were killing a large number of Yuxiu Manor guards with a devastating force.

The knife slashed into the chest of a guard, and Chen Yi pulled out the knife violently. He turned around and found that he had reached the martial arts arena of Yuxiu Manor. In the pavilion beside the martial arts arena, those scholars who often drank and wrote poems to praise chivalry, now seeing these bloody scenes, all huddled under the table.

Another guard came from the side with a gun in hand, yelling, but Chen Yi stood still.

He thought he succeeded, so he stabbed fiercely, but before he got close to the target, the gleaming Embroidered Spring Blade flashed before his eyes.

Min Ning cut off both of his hands, then lifted him to the ground and stabbed the tip of the knife into his throat.

Chen Yi glanced at the severed hand on the ground and asked:
"Why do you always chop off your hands?"

“…I’ll learn from you.”

Min Ning took a breath and whispered.

It is obvious that the sword that killed the ghost general in the temple of Huaishui Village once again left a deep impression on this martial arts genius.

Chen Yifu smiled and said:

"Don't learn the superficial, learn the true meaning, like you said: 'One sword has reason, destroying the wind and rain'."

Min Ning glared at him and said:

"Don't you dare tease me!"

Chen Yi was about to reply when he saw a man in armor holding a gun and another holding a sword, charging towards the martial arts arena with great momentum.

The Feng father and son, the owner of Feng Manor, Feng Ying, are famous for their Sixteen Guns of the Wumen. They are also sixth-rank masters in the martial arts world. Their gun skills are known for their swiftness. There is a legend that one of their guns shattered a three-inch thick wall.

His son Feng Luo is an outer disciple of Old Madam Wuming and is admitted to the Magpie Pavilion, a secret organization carefully cultivated by the Empress Dowager An. It is extremely mysterious and has several masters above the fifth rank, and even a third rank junior master. All the people in the Magpie Pavilion worship Old Madam Wuming as their godmother.

When Feng Ying saw Chen Yi, his face turned grim and he was the first to rush forward with his gun. His force was so fierce that he moved along with the gun, making bursts of sounds of breaking through the air.

Facing this fatal shot, Chen Yi not only did not retreat, but instead took a step forward, raised his sword and stepped forward, trying to block this powerful shot.

Seeing this seemingly suicidal scene, Min Ning was not worried at all. He had already defeated the ghost general, let alone the human?

She picked up the knife and turned to face Feng Luo, thinking about the knife that Chen Yi used to kill the ghost, and then she concentrated her energy into her dantian.

Chen Yi faced Feng Ying, Min Ning faced Feng Luo, and the four of them started fighting against each other.

The powerful shot came at him, but Chen Yi did not dodge. Instead, he raised his sword and slashed towards the gun tip, cutting through the wind and rain.

boom!
At the moment when metal and stone collided, Feng Ying showed joy on his face. The powerful thrust of his spear was enough to split mountains and rocks, not to mention an Embroidered Spring Sword. The spear was the king of all weapons and was naturally superior to a knife.

But the next moment, his expression suddenly froze.

The blade exerted a huge force, and the solid mahogany gun barrel began to bend. Then a crack visible to the naked eye appeared in the middle. This slash almost cut his gun off.

The gun barrel shook violently, and Feng Ying's mouth was bleeding. He took a few steps back and was about to put away the gun, but Chen Yi had already pressed forward.

Upon seeing this, Feng Ying shouted loudly, and then strengthened his strength, thrusting his spear forward with a sharp force, attempting to force Chen Yi back with this shot.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yi turned his body and raised his knife to block the stab. When Feng Ying was about to change the stab into a poke, he had already arrived in front of him. He raised his other hand and punched Feng Ying in the face!
When Cangshan Fist was thrown, Feng Ying was knocked back with his face tilted back, his nose broken, and his lower body suddenly unstable. Chen Yi raised his knee and hit Feng Ying, who fell to the ground in an instant.

Both the Jinyiwei and the guards of Yuxiu Manor were shocked when they saw this scene.

Manor Master Feng was a sixth-rank expert, only one step away from being included in the roster of the Imperial Observatory. Yet, in just a few rounds, he was defeated so easily!

On the other side, Feng Luo saw this scene, screamed, and was distracted for a moment.

Min Ning seized the opportunity, rushed forward, grabbed Feng Luo's sword, and then kicked him hard on the wrist, immediately removing Feng Luo's weapon. Then he raised the back of the knife and smashed it on his face. Feng Luo was immediately hit so hard that he felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

Both Feng's father and son were subdued, and the battle of Yuxiu Village was coming to an end with a crushing force.
