The Counterattack of the Villains

Luo Li and Li Chungang asked for the magic talisman and accompanied Xu Fengnian to Jiangxin County, while the large force went directly to Lu Mansion.

The reason why Luo Li wanted to accompany him was because she wanted to be prepared for Miss Hehe's second assassination.

Every assassination by Miss Hehe has its own meaning. The first assassination dispersed the Dahuangting Qi in his body so that he could forcibly absorb it.

The second assassination caused him to be seriously injured in Yangcheng. As a result, the Lu family not only did not dare to question him again, but had to protect him and keep him safe in Jiangnan Road.

But now that Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha have decided to go on a killing spree in Jiangnan Road, Miss Hehe's plan is no longer necessary.

That's why Luo Li followed Xu Fengnian to sabotage this second well-intentioned assassination and make the Jiangnan Taoist priests' cross-examination more fierce.

The Lu Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River is Xu Zhihu's husband's family. The head of the Lu family, Lu Daolin, offered wine to the Imperial Academy in the capital. He was far away in the capital and could not manage family affairs. Now the person in charge of the family is Lu Daolin's younger brother Lu Xuanlang.

This Lu Xuanlang can be called the most famous scholar in Jiangnan Dao, but in the eyes of Zheng Zha, Xu Fengnian and others, he is just a self-righteous fool.

Because this guy took Five Stone Powder, even if he didn't die accidentally, he wouldn't live for a few years.

And this guy was Xu Zhihu's father-in-law. He regarded Lu Daolin's decision to let his son marry Xu Zhihu as the first hatred in his life.

Because in his opinion, the dissolute widow not only killed the son who had high hopes for the family, but also brought countless humiliations to the Lu family.

He wanted to drive Xu Zhihu out of the Lu family. He was behind the incident involving Liu Liting, Mr. Chengzhai of Huxin County.

If Lu Daolin hadn't firmly refused, Xu Zhihu might have been kicked out of Lu Mansion long ago.

But Xu Zhihu's life in the Lu family these years was extremely miserable, and no one took her seriously.

Even the lowest-ranking slave dared to be arrogant and insulting in front of her. In the cold winter, she couldn't even get charcoal in the courtyard.

After so many years, Xu Zhihu, who was already deficient in energy and blood, turned minor illnesses into serious illnesses. Now he is terminally ill and his life has entered a countdown.

…

When the Beiliang team headed by Zheng Zha arrived at Lu Mansion, the main gate of Lu Mansion was closed tightly.

Wei Shuyang took the initiative to call the door. When the servant opened the door a crack, he politely clasped his fists and bowed: "Xu Fengnian, the Crown Prince of Northern Liang, is driving through Yangcheng, please..."

"Clang"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the room was slammed shut by the servant, and the sound of the latch being inserted was heard from inside the door, which immediately stunned Wei Shuyang.

Is the Lu family's dislike of Beiliang so unabashed?

He looked back at Zheng Zha and saw that he had no expression, so he had to knock on the door again.

Zheng Zha swept his consciousness and paid attention to the emotions of Ning Emei and the Fengziying soldiers. He found that although they were angry, their murderous intent was not strong enough, so he did not react in a hurry.

In the carriage, Jiang Ni whispered to Li Chungang in confusion: "Can you bear this? It doesn't look like Brother Zheng's character."

Li Chungang sneered and said: "Don't worry, it will be over in a while."

This time Wei Shuyang knocked for a long time before the door opened again. A middle-aged man wearing a crane cloak and long sleeves walked out of the house, holding a wooden sign with the word "free" in his hand.

Seeing that the other party did not look like an ordinary servant, Wei Shuyang took a step back, cupped his fists and said, "May I ask who you are?"

Facing Wei Shuyang's politeness, the man said arrogantly: "I'm Lu Dongyang, the steward of the Lu Mansion."

Wei Shuyang bowed his head and said warmly: "Hello, Mr. Lu, Xu Fengnian, the prince of Northern Liang, is passing by here and came here specifically to visit relatives."

Lu Dongyang chuckled disdainfully, hung the free sign in his hand on the door, squinted at Wei Shuyang and said, "What a coincidence, there will be no guests in the Lu Mansion today. Please go back and come back another day."

"When we first arrived in Yangcheng, we had no place to stay."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Please help Butler Lu inform my lady."

Hearing Wei Shuyang's words, Lu Dongyang's expression changed and he shouted angrily: "Xu Zhihu has ruined the family tradition, how can he have the face to come out to see others?"

Wei Shuyang was furious, but Zheng Zha hadn't spoken yet, so he didn't dare to react without permission, so he could only suppress his anger and said, "I'd better trouble the housekeeper to report it."

Lu Dongyang looked contemptuous and said in an impatient tone: "They say that in the barbaric land of Beiliang, people really don't know etiquette. Haven't I made it clear enough? I won't be visiting today, what should I tell you?"

As soon as he said these words, Zheng Zha suddenly felt the murderous intent behind him, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

Lu Dongyang wanted to die. At this moment, the soldiers of Fengziying had enough anger and could take action.

Zheng Zha said without looking back: "General Ning, the prince is not here. I wonder if my words are effective?"

His opening immediately attracted everyone's attention. Wei Shuyang silently retreated behind Zheng Zha. Lu Dongyang also looked over, but there was still a sneer on his face.

He didn't even take Xu Fengnian seriously, let alone Xu Fengnian's lackey.

Ning Emei said in a deep voice: "The prince has an order, and Mr. Zheng's words are his words."

Zheng Zha said calmly: "Okay, let me ask again, are all the officers and soldiers of Fengzi Camp competent?"

Ning Emei said flatly: "There are no cowards in Fengziying."

"Qiang"

Hearing these words, Zheng Zha suddenly pulled out the Beiliang Dao from his waist and shouted: "Very good, Feng Ziying listens to the order and pulls out your Beiliang Dao."

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

Without any hesitation, except for Ning Emei and Yuan Mengben, who already had weapons in their hands, the other fifteen Fengzi camp soldiers all drew their swords out of their scabbards.

Even Qingniao, who was driving, took out his instant gun from the car and walked to Ning Emei's side.

Zheng Zha continued: "I in Beiliang have always been very simple in dealing with others. Treat me with courtesy and return courtesy in return. Treat me with a sword and return a sword in return."

"Jiangnan Road has bullied me, Beiliang, too much. I, Beiliang, cannot bear this injustice. Today, you will follow my horse and ride on the Lu Mansion."

"All the officers and men listened to the order. The entire Lu Mansion, except the princess and those around her, will be killed without mercy. No one will be spared."

After saying this, he took the lead and raised the Beiliang Dao in his hand forward. A sword that was neither strong nor weak flew out and hit Lu Dongyang's left abdominal cavity impartially.

"Puff...Peng...crash"

This sword was not sharp, but blunt. Lu Dongyang spurted blood and threw it away, smashing the door behind him.

Zheng Zha's sword attack was very clever. It only broke Lu Dongyang's spleen. Although he was undoubtedly dead, he would not die for a while, and he could even stay awake.

If such a person dies too happily, he will feel unhappy.

He just wanted the other person not to die so quickly. Seeing with his own eyes the terrible consequences of his actions made him regretful and unwilling to rest in peace.

"kill……"

After the gate was knocked open, Zheng Zha took the lead and rushed directly into the Lu Mansion, killing everyone on sight. Ning Emei and Yuan Meng also led fifteen soldiers from the Cavalry Fengzi Battalion, shouting and charging in.

Qingniao and Wei Shuyang also survived, but unlike Zheng Zha, who was a reincarnation person, they still had their own bottom line to some extent. They did not attack the servants, but greeted the guards of the Lu Mansion who came.

In the carriage, Li Chungang smiled and said to Jiang Ni: "How are you, little girl? She looks like Zheng Zha now, right?"

Jiang Ni sighed: "Brother Zheng is good at everything, but he is a bit more murderous. I don't know if it was affected by his Tiger Soul Sword."

Li Chungang shook his head and said: "The influence may be a little bit. Zheng Zha's murderous nature is indeed more murderous than ordinary people, but he does not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Starting a killing spree in Jiangnan Road is the general trend and what Beiliang must do. This Lu family is on the edge of a knife."

"But the reason why Zheng Zha wanted to slaughter the Lu family, apart from this reason, was also because of you."

Jiang Ni was stunned when he heard this, and soon understood what Li Chungang meant.

At that time, the most amazing and talented legitimate son of the Lu family led troops to fight against the Western Chu State, and was injured on the battlefield and captured.

Originally, according to the rules of the battlefield, the two sides could exchange prisoners, and Liyang could exchange the prisoners of war from Western Chu for the legitimate son of the Lu family.

However, the Emperor of Western Chu sent the legitimate son of the Lu family to death because he was very capable and was unwilling to let the tiger return to the mountains. Therefore, the Lu family and Western Chu had a blood feud.

If the identities of Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei were recognized by people in the Lu Mansion, it would definitely be a troublesome matter. Therefore, part of the reason why Zheng Zha's horse set foot in the Lu Mansion was because of Jiang Ni.

Jiang Ni also came to her senses at this time. Xu Xiao insisted on letting her travel with him, and most likely he had the intention of treating her as an abandoned son.

Could it be that Xu Xiao's plan should be located in the Lu Mansion on Jiangnan Road?

But Xu Fengnian was unwilling to follow Xu Xiao's arrangements and wanted to find his own way. Zheng Zha's horse set foot in the Lu Mansion just to break the situation set by Xu Xiao.

Jiang Ni was moved in her heart. She understood that Xu Fengnian did not want to treat her as an abandoned son, so he made the decision to massacre the Lu Mansion.

…

But it is said that Zheng Zha and his entourage drove straight in, all the way from the gate into the front yard, and happened to encounter the Tangxi Sword Immortal Lu Baijie who came in a hurry with a embroidered sword.

Without saying a word, Zheng Zha knocked him down with one blow of his sword. If Xu Zhihu hadn't arrived in time and yelled "Save someone under the sword", this promising Tangxi Sword Immortal would have been splashed with blood on the spot.

Xu Zhihu was only accompanied by a maid named Er Qiao. When the soldiers of Fengziying saw the princess appear, they did not stop their killing.

According to the military law of Northern Liang, the war is not over, and the general does not receive orders from the Lord, and the men do not dismount, and the swords do not return to their sheaths.

Although Xu Zhihu is the princess of Beiliang, she is married after all and is not their immediate boss.

If they met in normal times, they would greet him with courtesy, but in this situation, they only see the guards from the Lu Mansion who are rushing towards them.

"What are you doing? Tell them to stop."

Xu Zhihu naturally knew the military laws of Northern Liang, so she did not give direct orders to the soldiers of Fengziying, but to the leader Zheng Zha.

Although she married far away from Jiangnan Dao, her contact with Beiliang has not been severed, and she has always been in control of Beiliang's intelligence network in Jiangnan Dao.

Therefore, she was naturally familiar with news about Zheng Zha and his wife, and had also seen their portraits.

Zheng Zha was riding on his horse, clasping his fists at Xu Zhihu and saying, "I cannot agree to this matter. Please forgive me, Princess."

Xu Zhihu asked anxiously: "What on earth do you want to do? Do you really want to make enemies of the scholars in the world?"

Zheng Zha said seriously: "The princess has made a mistake. Jiangnan is not the world, and Jiangnan Taoist scholars cannot represent all scholars."

"Everything I have done with the crown prince is just to bring the princess home, the second princess home, and the young prince home, so that the whole family can be reunited."

"As for the plan for Jiangnan Road, it is no longer necessary. If there are no scholars, we will train them ourselves."

"Without the support of the children of powerful families, there are still many poor people in the world who are suppressed by powerful families."

"As long as they understand Beiliang, I believe there will be many people willing to go to Beiliang to find a way out."

Xu Zhihu was speechless, looking at the people of the Lu family who were about to be slaughtered around him, and finally he could only let out a long sigh.

She looked at the exhausted Lu Baijie and said to Zheng Zha: "I may not stop you from doing anything, but my uncle has been very good to me over the years, so let him live."

Zheng Zha looked at Lu Baijie with complex eyes, nodded and said: "Yes."

When Zheng Zha was attacking Lu Mansion in Huting County, Xu Fengnian was also killing people in Jiangxin County.

Mr. Chengzhai, Liu Liting, had all the people in his family, and Xu Fengnian killed them all, including Liu Liting's wife, the talented woman who invented the "two-legged incense burner".

Liu Liting himself was tied to the back of a horse by Xu Fengnian and dragged from Jiangxin County to Huting County.

By the time we arrived at Yangcheng, it was already a lake of flesh and blood, and the energy had been extinguished for a long time.

Just when Xu Fengnian and Luo Li rode two horses and arrived outside the gate of Yangcheng, Luo Li suddenly shouted: "Stop."

When Xu Fengnian heard her words, he immediately reined in his horse and stopped without any hesitation.

"Xi Lv Lv"

Because the horse stopped too quickly, Xu Fengnian pulled the reins harder. After the white horse stopped, it raised its front hooves, kicked in the air a few times, and made a sharp neighing sound.

Liu Liting's body, which was dragged behind the horse, slid forward a certain distance due to inertia before stopping.

When the white horse's front hooves hit the ground, Xu Fengnian turned sideways and asked Luo Li, "What's wrong?"

Luo Li pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand towards the dimly lit doorway, and the talisman dagger that Li Chungang was trying to get flew out.

This dagger was borrowed by Luo Li to pretend to be the conquered princess of Western Chu. The purpose was naturally to deceive the truth from Liu Liting.

Xu Fengnian looked intently, but heard a "ding" sound, the magic talisman flew back upside down, and a slender figure fell from the top of the doorway.

After seeing the appearance of the figure clearly, Xu Fengnian's eyes widened and he said with a tangled face: "Haha, girl, you are hiding here, are you trying to assassinate me again?"

The girl Hehe couldn't laugh at this time. She said to Xu Fengnian with a straight face: "The mission has not been completed yet, and the one thousand taels of gold have not been obtained yet."

Xu Fengnian said speechlessly: "How about I give you two thousand taels and you don't want to assassinate me?"

The girl Hehe said expressionlessly: "I am a killer, and killers have killer rules."

Xu Fengnian laughed and shook his head, and said calmly: "Don't be ridiculous, you are still a killer. The purpose of your last assassination has been analyzed by an expert."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Tell me, what is the method of this assassination?"

Luo Li on the side laughed and said: "Isn't it obvious? If we go too far in Jiangnan Dao, all the scholars in Jiangnan Dao will target us, especially the Lu family."

"But if you are assassinated at this time and are injured in the assassination, the Lu family will not only dare not embarrass you anymore, but will also have to serve you carefully."

"Otherwise, if Xu Xiao misunderstands that this assassination was arranged by the Lu family, not to mention the Lu family, the entire Jiangnan Road will be in disaster."

"So the ultimate goal of Miss Hehe's assassination is to let you cross Jiangnan safely."

Speaking of this, she looked at Miss Hehe with a smile and said: "Miss Hehe, is my guess right?"

After listening to Luo Li's analysis, Xu Fengnian smiled broadly, but the girl lowered her eyelids and turned around to leave.

But when she turned around to perform Qing Kung, she found an unstoppable suction force coming from behind her, causing her figure to fly backwards uncontrollably.
