Chapter 191: If a king wants to see another king, one of them will surely be injured!
Xuanwu Gate, atop the city tower.

Footsteps came from below.

"Qing'er, he's here." Jiang Liuyun stood beside Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing's eyes were clear and bright, her face expressionless, as she turned to look at the back of the city wall.

There, a horse-drawn carriage was swaying and wobbling along.

Liu Mang arrived earlier than she had expected.

If the king wants to see the king, someone will surely be injured.

The dream she was weaving in Liu Mang's mind was interwoven with reality, and their rhythms were consistent.

She did all this to make Liu Mang's ego swell to an extreme through each trial, thus stimulating his emotions and ultimately making him confess his crimes.

That's not enough yet, so Lin Zhiqing needs to add fuel to the fire.

Thinking of this, she looked at Jiang Liuyun beside her: "It's up to you now."

"Don't worry." Jiang Liuyun clenched his fist. "I can handle it. You just have to be careful."

"Yes." Lin Zhiqing nodded: "I believe you."

She looked at Jiang Liuyun with a very serious expression.

Jiang Liuyun smiled gently, then put on the mask that Lin Zhiqing had given him earlier, and flew down from the city wall.

When Liu Mang and his entourage arrived in their carriage, they saw a tall man in black standing beneath the Xuanwu Gate.

"Brave warrior, please make way." The guard stepped forward.

Jiang Liuyun remained silent, quietly watching the guard.

Liu Mang was on high alert at the moment. Sensing something was wrong, he immediately lifted the carriage curtain.

The Xuanwu Gate was guarded by soldiers, but they seemed to be asleep and did not react at all.

He instantly realized that these people were likely hypnotized.

His gaze drifted down, and the moment he saw Jiang Liuyun's figure, his pupils contracted. He wanted to say something, but then stopped abruptly.

A deep sense of apprehension flashed across his face: "What...do you want to do?"

Lin Zhiqing, standing atop the high-rise building, narrowed her eyes. Liu Mang's reaction likely confirmed that he had already guessed Jiang Liuyun's identity.

Jiang Liuyun's return to the capital was no secret; everyone knew that he was returning for the Lin family.

However, due to the power of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, Liu Mang dared not expose the matter.

This is not surprising.

After all, they hadn't done anything against the imperial decree; they had only blocked Liu Mang's path.

Even if the authorities investigate, the matter will most likely be resolved hastily and will not shake the status of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion.

Liu Mang couldn't have been unaware of this.

Jiang Liuyun curled his lips into a smile: "Lord Liu, since you have some free time today, why don't you come with me for a drink?"

"I hope you will forgive me, young master, but I am unavailable today." Liu Mang's gaze passed over Jiang Liuyun and looked towards the entrance of the market.

Jiang Liuyun shook his head, his smiling eyes turning sharp: "What if I just want to catch up with you?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mang's throat bobbed: "The Lin family is doomed. The imperial decree has already been issued and cannot be changed."

He tried to enlighten Jiang Liuyun, telling him that he was doing something futile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liuyun impatiently stretched his body, clearly not wanting to say anything more to Liu Mang.

The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense.

Surprisingly, the next moment, Jiang Liuyun stepped to the left and immediately withdrew his attack.

On the city tower, Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly.

Below the city gate, Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, young master." He clasped his hands in thanks, lowered the carriage curtain, and said loudly, "Let's continue."

The coachman received orders and drove the carriage forward.

Soon, they arrived at Jiang Liuyun's side.

Lin Zhiqing tilted her head and stared intently at Jiang Liuyun.

It was clear that Liu Mang was about to enter Xuanwu Gate.

In the nick of time, Jiang Liuyun swiftly hurled a pebble towards the carriage, followed by a muffled groan. The coachman tumbled off the carriage, and before the guards could react, Jiang Liuyun was already standing on the roof.

"My lord!" the guard shouted.

It then rushed forward in an instant.

Soon, the sounds of swords clashing rang out.

Lin Zhiqing clenched her fists as she watched Jiang Liuyun fight Liu Mang's men.

Fortunately, Xuanwu Gate is some distance from Caishikou, so the sounds of fighting cannot reach there.

How could the few guards of the Liu family, in terms of martial arts alone, compare to Jiang Liuyun, who had crawled through piles of corpses?

Soon, several henchmen were knocked to the ground.

Only Liu Mang's personal bodyguard could barely hold off Jiang Liuyun.

Lin Zhiqing, who witnessed everything, realized that Jiang Liuyun hadn't used much force at all.

But now he's serious, and every move he makes exudes sharpness.

Within five steps, Liu Mang's men will surely be defeated!
Liu Mang, who was in the carriage, also realized this. He lifted the curtain and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Stop!" Liu Mang gripped the carriage wall tightly.

Stop? How could I possibly stop!

Jiang Liuyun deflected the guard's sword and kicked him to the ground.

Seeing this, Liu Mang immediately sensed something was wrong and cursed himself as a good-for-nothing in his heart.

Jiang Liuyun headed straight for Liu Mang, seemingly intending to kidnap him.

Just as he approached the carriage, Lin Zhiqing leaned forward slightly.

Jiang Liuyun landed at the front of the carriage and sheathed his longsword.

Upon meeting Liu Mang's gaze, Jiang Liuyun's eyes curved into a smile, and he reached out to pull Liu Mang away.

But as soon as he lifted the carriage curtain, a pale, thin hand suddenly lunged at his chest as a whistle sounded.

Jiang Liuyun's eyes narrowed, and he instantly stepped back.

But he was caught off guard and was pushed back several steps by the palm strike, landing on the ground.

Lin Zhiqing didn't miss this scene. She looked closely at the hand and realized it was the white-haired man they had met at the Liu family's house!

Liu Mang actually brought out such a dangerous person!

Her hand reached towards her waist.

At the same time, the white-haired man swiftly stood on the roof of the car, looking down at Jiang Liuyun.

"Young Master, you were the one who broke into the Liu family that night, weren't you?" Liu Mang stared intently at Jiang Liuyun, already recognizing him.

Jiang Liuyun patted his clothes, didn't answer, and rushed towards the white-haired man.

Liu Mang instantly shrank back into the carriage.

The white-haired man lightly touched the ground with his toes and took several steps back.

Jiang Liuyun missed his target and his expression turned serious.

He could at best fight the white-haired man to a draw; once the others woke up, his situation would become passive.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, the white-haired man, moving like a ghost, pounced on Jiang Liuyun.

Sensing the killing intent, Jiang Liuyun drew his longsword, shifted his body, and thrust backward.

The white-haired man seemed to sense something and moved even faster than Jiang Liuyun, kicking Jiang Liuyun's shoulder.

The old wound had not yet healed, and soon blood seeped out. Jiang Liuyun groaned and the longsword slipped from his hand.

He could clearly sense that the white-haired man was significantly stronger than last time!

The white-haired man snatched the longsword and pointed it directly at Jiang Liuyun's heart.

Jiang Liuyun's eyes widened. He wanted to turn to the side, but the sharp pain in his shoulder made his movements somewhat distorted.

If this sword were to fall, it would mean certain death or serious injury!
The sound of a sword tip piercing the air rang out, amplified infinitely in Jiang Liuyun's eyes!

"puff!"

The sound of the sword tip piercing flesh rang out, and blood flowed out along the blade.

The figure in mid-air suddenly went limp and fell to the ground instantly.
