Angry Banana
Chapter 149: Dagger Revealed
The clan meeting had just ended tonight, and such a sensitive incident occurred immediately. The instigator of the assassination—or rather, the kidnapping—was still unclear. At this time, it was impossible to publicize the matter; it could only be handled internally by the First Branch. When Xing'er arrived, Ning Yi had already led several servants to investigate the surrounding area, and immediately apprehended a newly arrived cart driver who seemed suspicious.
A steward who managed this place had been drinking and probably didn't know what had happened at the clan meeting. Seeing Ning Yi arrive with people, he tried to stop them, not knowing what was going on. Xing'er also happened to arrive. Seeing that Ning Yi was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Ning Yi, and then furrowed her beautiful brows, coldly telling the steward that she was going to complain to the head steward. The steward sobered up instantly and apologized profusely.
Xing'er was only seventeen years old, with a beautiful appearance, but she had always been the eldest sister among the three maids, with a strong personality. She always learned from Su Tan'er, speaking coldly to those she could afford to offend. If it were someone from another branch with a similar status, someone she couldn't afford to offend, she would argue with them relentlessly if they were unreasonable. It was said that she had even stood up for the servants of the First Branch a few times and almost received family punishment. Over time, others became familiar with this maid's stubbornness and strength. Ning Yi found her anger today quite amusing, but the most urgent task at hand was to consider the matter related to the kidnapping.
"This matter was premeditated, and it's hard to say who did it. I'm fine for now, but do you know where Tan'er has gone?"
Whether it was the Second Branch, the Third Branch, the Xue family, or the Wu family, the main target was always Su Tan'er. Ning Yi originally thought everything was settled, but he didn't expect such an unexpected turn of events and immediately thought of his wife. Hearing him mention this, Xing'er seemed to remember something.
"Miss... Miss should be fine, but I don't know where Miss is now..."
"Hmm?" Ning Yi frowned. "What's going on?"
"Miss went to deal with the assassination of the Great Master, Juan'er should know, I'll go find her."
Xing'er looked different and ran off, sticking out her tongue. Ning Yi was puzzled. In the room next door, the servants were still interrogating the four captured infiltrators. After a moment, Juan'er ran over panting. "Is Young Master-in-law alright?" She had obviously heard about the assassination from Xing'er. The screams of the assassins came from the room next door.
Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er all had things to do tonight. Ning Yi originally thought that Xing'er would be more accepting of such violent things, but at this time, he realized that Juan'er didn't show much discomfort when she heard the screams inside. She just frowned and glanced inside, then busied herself asking if Ning Yi was injured. Ning Yi explained the process and his worries, and after hesitating for a moment, Juan'er also told what she knew.
"Miss and the Great Master went to Shibu Slope to deal with the Great Master's assassination, preparing to find them and wipe them out in one fell swoop. They also asked Chief Cheng of the Hundred Blades Alliance to help. There are many people, so she should be fine... Miss only found out today that the mastermind behind the assassination of the Great Master was... was Shopkeeper Xi Junyu, he has someone behind him..."
When she spoke of Xi Junyu, Juan'er, who had been slightly lowering her head, secretly glanced at Ning Yi and met his gaze, then quickly lowered her head and pursed her lips. Relatively speaking, Chan'er was gentle, Xing'er was generous, and Juan'er was the most quiet among the three sisters. Although she was not ambiguous when doing things, she sometimes gave people a sense of timidity and shyness in life. However, Xing'er didn't know these things; she didn't expect that Juan'er knew instead.
Ning Yi looked at her with the eyes of a secret agent, and then frowned, asking about the Hundred Blades Alliance she mentioned. It turned out that the Hundred Blades Alliance was a large gang in Jiangning City, which usually didn't publicize much, but was quite powerful. Chief Cheng Lie had a deep friendship with Su Boyong, which could be regarded as the largest force that the Su family could use in the underworld.
"This matter was actually arranged by the Great Master and Miss together. Miss didn't touch these things much in the past, and Juan'er doesn't know much either. This time, she was afraid that Young Master-in-law would worry, so she didn't tell Young Master-in-law..."
Juan'er explained, and Ning Yi roughly understood. Su Boyong wasn't without a temper. This time, because of the assassination and paralysis, he definitely wanted revenge. In the future, when Su Tan'er took charge of the family, she would have to start contacting more of this kind of thing. It was just that Juan'er's tone was a little intriguing when she mentioned Xi Junyu. He could probably guess some of the reasons for this, but he had never thought that the assassination was initiated by a shopkeeper from the family.
"Someone behind him." Ning Yi nodded. "Who?"
"Uh, it's not clear yet..."
****************
"Uncle Cheng, who are they?" In the courtyard of Shibu Slope, Su Tan'er was also asking the person beside her.
At this time, they were still fighting outside the courtyard, but the number of people involved was small, and the overall situation couldn't be seen clearly. Just now, a disciple of the Hundred Blades Alliance broke through the gate and came in, covered in blood, but it was still in the stage of probing between the two sides. There were also several injured people in the courtyard, bleeding and groaning. For a woman, it was probably an extremely miserable thing, but Su Tan'er stood there with her face unchanged, only secretly grabbing the corner of her clothes. This was not the first time she had seen this kind of thing. Years ago, when she left Jiangning, she encountered bandits on the way, couldn't buy a road, and the two sides fought. She had seen scenes of blood flowing like rivers, but no matter what, she could never get used to this kind of thing.
Beside her was the middle-aged man who had been talking to her father earlier. He was tall and burly, in his early forties, with half of his beard and hair white. His appearance was like a lion or tiger, with a calm and majestic aura. A large knife was placed beside him. This person was Chief Cheng Lie of the Hundred Blades Alliance, who was now tilting his head to listen to the sounds coming from outside.
"It's still hard to say, they have a lot of people. They failed to ambush at the beginning, and now they can only fight hard. Hmph, they're not from Jiangning."
"Not from Jiangning?"
"Unfamiliar faces, daring and reckless. Judging from their style, they're from other places. I'm afraid they're one of the groups of desperate guys who came to Jiangning during the floods."
Jiangning was rich, and there were naturally many people who made a living by illegal means and in the underworld. Every year, there were also people from other places who came to work hard and grab territory. In times of natural disasters and man-made disasters, there were even more desperate people who had lost everything and then came to Jiangning in the form of a fierce dragon crossing the river. For many small gangs and small forces, these people often posed a huge threat. People who had been forced to the point of having no food were always very destructive when they became desperate. But for forces like the Hundred Blades Alliance, the impact was not great, so Cheng Lie just tilted his head.
"Don't worry, niece. A strong dragon can't suppress a local snake. There's no need to worry about these wild ways. They think they have some people. Tonight, let them die cleanly. We know who came to Jiangning this year to make a living. As long as we know which batch they are, I guarantee that those who didn't come tonight won't be able to leave Jiangning alive. This matter... um..."
Cheng Lie's words were calm and majestic, full of confidence—and he did have this strength—but when he said this, he realized that he was talking to a little niece, hesitated, and simply waved his hand: "Stop wasting time with them, attack!"
At this time, people were standing under the eaves and in the shadows of the courtyard. They couldn't be seen from the outside, but the small courtyard was like a heavily guarded small bunker. As soon as he waved his hand, one person immediately opened a bamboo tube. The moment the fireworks rose into the sky and exploded, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Kill—"
In this moment, the answering sound suddenly surged like a tide, booming through the night sky: "Kill—"
"Kill—"
The members of the Hundred Blades Alliance who had been arranged in various places at Shibu Slope simultaneously launched an attack, sweeping towards the surrounding woods of the small courtyard like an angry tide. Hand-to-hand combat began, and those foreigners who had also arrived nearby were truly forced out, and the fighting became intense in an instant. In the small courtyard, six or seven people rushed out of the door. For a time, in the great chaos, Su Tan'er remembered something and asked Cheng Lie a question.
"What?" Cheng Lie didn't hear clearly and asked loudly.
"Uncle Cheng! I want to ask! Among these foreigners, are there any who came from Ezhou?" Su Tan'er asked loudly.
"Ezhou?"
"Yes, I remember that the person who framed Father in the first place was from Ezhou!"
"There are people from all over the place, but Ezhou... there's a group of people, mostly people from near Ezhou, led by Ou Peng... Ah! The roof!"
Before Cheng Lie could finish his words, he suddenly roared and turned around, picking up his large knife with his left hand and grabbing an iron ring of unknown use next to him with his right hand, and throwing it howling towards the roof of the room where Xi Junyu was being held. He saw that a figure had somehow reached the roof. The iron ring crashed against the thatched roof, and the figure reacted in an instant, drawing a large knife from behind and forcefully砍 down on the iron ring.
With a bang, sparks lit up in the night sky. The iron ring was knocked away, and the figure staggered several steps on the roof, trampled on the thatch, and fell into the room.
"Ah—"
"Die!"
In the sudden chaos, just now Su Tan'er came out, Su Boyong let a guard push the wheelchair in, I don't know what he said to Xi Junyu, and then went out, looked back. Beside Su Tan'er, Cheng Lie's figure had rushed towards the room quickly. He directly劈散 half of the window and rushed in with a bang. There was only one oil lamp in the room, and the figures were in chaos, clang clang clang clang! The blade light swirled, and sparks burst out continuously with the loud shouts, tables, chairs, and wooden shelves were chopped up, flying in the air, and lit up by the sparks.
A figure flew out of the window with a bang. This person was tall and thin, but it was the member of the Hundred Blades Alliance who had restrained Xi Junyu earlier and had been in the room all along. He could be considered a good player, but at this time he was obviously knocked out. He rolled a few times on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and stood up again. Su Tan'er wanted to run towards her father, but Su Boyong waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to, because Guard Geng had already retreated out with his knife. Now there were still three people in the room, Xi Junyu, Cheng Lie, and the intruder who had just been knocked off the roof. The fight was still going on, the sparks were amazing, and he didn't know if Xi Junyu, who had been affected, had been chopped to death.
"Die!" In the room, Cheng Lie suddenly shouted, and then there was a loud noise, and another figure was chopped out of the window. The man was holding a steel knife, half of his body was stained with blood, and his turban was also knocked off, he was extremely embarrassed, obviously he was the intruder. Getting up from the ground, he shouted loudly, and rushed towards Su Tan'er like a madman. The tall and thin man of the Hundred Blades Alliance moved a few steps sideways, waving the sharp knife in his hand to block him. The weapons of the two clashed, and the intruder roared, the broadsword spinning quickly in his hand, and countless sparks were pulled out, but this time the tall and thin man already had experience, and after two knives, he forced him away.
The members of the Hundred Blades Alliance under the eaves and in the shadows nearby surrounded him.
"Go!" Cheng Lie shouted in the room, and Xi Junyu was kicked out staggering. Before he could stand firm, a broadsword landed steadily on his neck. Cheng Lie held the knife in one hand and walked out of the door, looking at the person surrounded in the courtyard: "Who are you?"
The sword wielder, half his body stained with blood, reached out and撥开 his hair, and gritted his teeth: "My grandfather is called Ma Lin!"
"Okay, kill him."
Cheng Lie didn't waste any words, tilted his head, but the fighting sound at the gate of the courtyard suddenly became intense, the sound of breaking wind howled, two members of the Hundred Blades Alliance were被打飞, and at the same time two were forced to retreat and disperse, Cheng Lie's blade light turned, knocking away a hidden weapon that flew over, and the broadsword fell steadily back on Xi Junyu's neck. Appearing at the gate of the courtyard was a man of equally tall stature, holding an iron spear. He stepped in and stood there, surveying the situation in the courtyard, the companion in the middle of the courtyard, and... the enemies in the courtyard.
"I've seen you. Ou Peng, it really is you." Cheng Lie shook his head. "You foreigners are having a lot of fun in Jiangning."
"Just trying to make a living." The tall man raised the spear in his hand. "Whoever blocks me from eating, I'll kill their whole family. I know your name is Cheng, will you let me pass this road?"
Cheng Lie frowned, and then, smiled somewhat ferociously, saying word by word: "I think, it's better not to let you pass."
In the courtyard, all the disciples of the Hundred Blades Alliance had understood that Cheng Lie had now truly become enraged and was preparing to kill Ou Peng. Ou Peng slowly retreated from the threshold of the courtyard, and after a moment, suddenly turned around and ran to the side.
"Kill these ignorant things!"
With a gloomy face, Cheng Lie shook the broadsword in his hand and slapped Xi Junyu to the ground with a snap, almost half of his face was swollen. He approached Ma Lin in the center of the courtyard with his knife, and some people had already started chasing out of the courtyard, and began to pursue and kill Ou Peng with the companions who were originally outside. For a time, near Shibu Slope, the sound of fighting and fighting became almost boiling!
At the same time, two carriages had already driven out of the side gate of the Su family and were heading towards the outside of the city...
**************
A few days ago, I heard that someone's account was stolen again. Today I heard something. It turns out that account theft is not necessarily because of Trojans. Some account thieves, it is said, will buy a batch of accounts and passwords from some informal small websites. For example, if you have registered on many websites and used the same account and password, they can get them to match on large websites. I don't know if it's true, but in the future, when you register some accounts, you can pay attention.
The recent updates have not been very stable. It is almost a routine for me to get writer's block, which is very painful, but the framework of the concept is clear. I can only guarantee that I sit in front of the computer every day and don't slack off and do other things. However, I saw some people saying that the author is saving up manuscripts for double votes or at the beginning or end of the month. Heh, this kind of thing is too magical. For me, the only important thing is the book itself. I have never considered how to manage it. Even if I have any energy, I will put it on the book itself, and not on how to operate it. My soliciting votes and such are often just opportunistic things.
For example, some scientists in TV can forget to eat and forget how to interact with people for the sake of research. I can do this level for the book. It is difficult to say whether there will be results, but my attitude has always been upright.
In short, I am this kind of person.
I feel that today's state is improving, and I should be able to continue to update next.
Let me recommend a new book, Saint Chenlei's "Technique Overwhelms the Fragrance". This author has always been a very good storyteller. This book is in a period of transition to wanton YY. Although it may not be thorough enough, but if it is too thorough, will it be called a Xiaobaiwen ^_^
In short, an old author, the plot can be suppressed, the quality is guaranteed, if you are interested, go kill it. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
Support (End God Station) share this site with those little friends who need it! Please leave a message if you can't find the book!
