Chapter 134 Behind bars
Among the Mongolian soldiers, the leader was a dark, strong and rugged man. He was the commander-in-chief of the general's mansion, named Zamur.

In the Donghai Teahouse, Zamur looked around coldly. After making eye contact with Zhuge Wu, a strange light flashed quickly in his eyes. Then, at Zhuge Wu's signal, he cast his vicious gaze towards Liu Xunyi who was sitting at the table.

"What's going on?" Zamur pretended to be confused and asked loudly, "Who is causing trouble here?"

"Sir, actually..."

"Sir!" Before the teahouse owner could speak, Zhuge Wu interrupted, "In broad daylight, someone committed a crime and injured someone. This person has no regard for the law and relies on his status as a member of the Xianwang Mansion to bully others in Luoyang. Sir, you must uphold justice in this matter!"

Seeing Zhuge Wu was the first to complain, Liu Xunyi was immediately displeased. He quickly stood up and bowed to Zamur, saying, "Sir, they were actually causing trouble in the Donghai Teahouse. We are just friends of the shopkeeper and wanted to mediate, but unexpectedly these people not only ignored the advice, but became more arrogant. They even wanted to bully the minority with their numbers and take advantage of their power. I had no choice but to protect myself, and that's why I hurt him."

Zamur narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the black-faced man who was covering his broken wrist and wailing, and sneered: "I didn't see them causing trouble, but you were caught red-handed when you hurt someone."

"Sir, I..."

"No need to explain." Zamur waved his hand and said coldly, "Come here, take these troublemakers back!"

"Wait!" Liu Xunyi said in a deep voice, "You arrested people without asking any questions. It's obvious that you colluded with Zhuge Wu in advance. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"

"So what?" Zamur said with a sinister smile.

Seeing this, Zhang Fu hurriedly said, "Do you know that we are from the Xianwang Mansion?"

"Nonsense!" Zamur shouted angrily, "They are the people from the Xianwang Palace! Don't you Han people have a saying that 'the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people'? Are the people from the Xianwang Palace more noble than the emperor? Humph! What a joke. Come on, capture these five people for me. If they dare to resist, kill them without mercy!"

"Yes!"

The Mongolian soldiers took orders in unison, drew their swords and rushed towards Liu Xunyi and his men.

At the same time, Zhuge Wu waved his hand to signal the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect to step back, leaving the huge teahouse lobby to the fight between Liu Xunyi and the Mongolian soldiers. He and his men sat aside and watched the excitement leisurely.

"Brother Liu, what should we do?" Wang Shou asked anxiously.

Liu Xunyi rolled his eyes and said quickly, "Today is clearly a setup. Zhuge Wu and the Mongols are in cahoots with each other. One is deliberately provoking, and the other is pretending to be impartial. Their purpose is to deal with us."

"If I had known this, I should have called more brothers." Zhao Ning's voice sounded a little trembling, as if he was afraid of the current situation. "I thought it was just a few thugs, but I didn't expect it to be such a big scene."

Liu Xunyi said: "No need to say more, let's find a way to leave here first!"

"The Lord of the Palace has ordered that we should avoid conflicts with the Mongols as much as possible. So we..."

"Their knives are already on our necks, are we going to let them slaughter us?" Liu Xunyi shouted loudly. Before he finished speaking, he rushed out first and fought with seven or eight Mongolian soldiers who surrounded him.

Seeing this, the four members of “Fu Shou Kang Ning” no longer hesitated, raised their weapons and charged into the melee.

Upon hearing the fighting in the teahouse, the Mongolian soldiers guarding outside rushed in with their swords drawn.

Zamur took the lead, brandishing the large ring knife in his hand with great force, and rushed towards Li Kang who was closest to him with a roar.

"call!"

With a mighty blow from the air, Zamur swung his sword with all his might, splitting Mount Huashan with his might. The big ring knife hit Li Kang's sword heavily, and with a crisp "crack" sound, Li Kang's sword broke under Zamur's knife.

Panicked, Li Kang subconsciously stepped back. At the same time, Zamur slashed his blade down, and with a "swish", a huge gash was created on Li Kang's chest, tearing his clothes. A trace of bright red blood slowly seeped out.

"Oh!"

While Li Kang was hesitating, Zamur kicked him hard in the abdomen, knocking the unsuspecting Li Kang to the ground. Then six or seven steel knives came one after another and quickly blocked his neck, making Li Kang dare not resist at all.

"You all should surrender immediately, and don't refuse my toast and drink the forfeit wine!"

With just three moves, he captured Li Kang. Zamur was so proud that he couldn't help laughing wildly. He pushed away the soldiers who were blocking him with one hand, and with the other hand, holding the big ring knife that was still dripping with blood, he took big steps and headed straight for Zhang Fu who was not far away.

Zhang Fu was already stretched to the limit under the siege of four or five Mongolian soldiers. Seeing Zamur coming towards him with murderous intent, he was shocked and his sword moves became disordered, and several more scars appeared on his body in an instant.

"let me help you!"

Liu Xunyi defeated more than a dozen Mongolian soldiers with his own strength. When he saw Zhang Fu in trouble, his face suddenly changed. He swept his sword and knocked back seven or eight soldiers around him. He flew up, stepped on several people's heads, and did a beautiful somersault, instantly jumping over Zamur.

Liu Xunyi came riding on the wind, swinging the sword in his hand left and right without hesitation, and the sharp sword energy immediately forced back the three or four soldiers beside Zamur. Then, the sword tip was raised, and Liu Xunyi hung upside down in mid-air, with the tip of the sword piercing Zamur's crown.

Zamur didn't expect that Liu Xunyi was actually a first-class master. He was immediately shocked and hurriedly held the big ring knife across his head to resist Liu Xunyi's fatal move.

With a crisp "ding" sound, the tip of Liu Xunyi's sword pierced straight into the blade. The huge force caused Zamur's strong arms to hurt, and his hands subconsciously tilted backwards.

Liu Xunyi changed his move and stabbed down with the sword tip, making a sharp and piercing sound, which twisted Zamur's facial features into a ball. In a flash, Zamur, who was caught off guard, quickly threw his head to the left. At the same time, the sword tip whizzed down, instantly picking off a piece of Zamur's scalp, and then stabbed out along his cheek, cutting off Zamur's right ear with a sword.

"what!"

The pain of cutting his ears made Zamur let out a heart-wrenching scream.

At this moment, half of his right face was covered in blood, and half of his scalp was cut off by a sword, revealing scarlet flesh and vaguely visible white skull. Others could even see that on the half of Zamur's head without scalp, the veins exposed to the air were throbbing slightly.

Liu Xunyi did not take his life, but quickly wrapped the sword around Zamur's arm and pressed it tightly against his throat.

"Kill me if you dare!"

Facing Zamur's provocation, Liu Xunyi snorted coldly and kicked Zamur on the knee, making him kneel on his knees, and was firmly clamped by Liu Xunyi's sword.

"Stop it, or I'll kill him!"

"You'd better release the Lord Commander, otherwise the four of them will surely die!"

At the same time when Liu Xunyi captured Zamur, Mongolian soldiers also captured "Fu Shou Kang Ning" and other four people by sword. They were covered with wounds and looked miserable, obviously seriously injured.

"If you kill one of me, I will kill four of you!" Zamur turned his head to reveal half of his bloody face, staring at Liu Xunyi with a terrifying grin on his face, "My Mongolian soldiers would rather die than surrender, and it is an honor to die! Kill me if you have the guts! Although they are my subordinates, they are also General Wang's loyal and brave soldiers, so they will never surrender to me! Haha..."

Liu Xunyi was startled when he heard this, and turned to look at "Fu Shou Kang Ning" who was being trampled on the ground and dying, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"Liu Xunyi, I advise you to release him immediately." Zhuge Wu sneered, "You openly resisted the Mongolian army, which is already a serious crime. Now you have kidnapped the Mongolian commander, which is a capital crime. It doesn't matter if you die, but you have to think clearly about how much trouble you will bring to the Northern Sage King by doing this."

"If you don't let them go, we will execute them now!" The Mongolian soldiers urged angrily. After that, they raised their steel knives and pointed them at the necks of the four people of "Fu Shou Kang Ning", ready to chop off their heads with one blow.

"Do you think I'm trying to scare you?" Zamur sneered, "I might as well tell you the truth. It was General Wang's intention to capture you, so whether you kill me or not, they won't let you go. The only difference is whether you kill me or not!"

Zhuge Wu echoed, "Liu Xunyi, there is still room for easing the situation. If you hesitate any longer, the four of them will be dead."

Liu Xunyi looked around strugglingly, and when he looked at "Fu Shou Kang Ning", he saw that the four of them were staring at him with pleading and fearful eyes.

The four people of "Fu Shou Kang Ning" were not very old, and although they were disciples carefully cultivated by Lin Fangda, in Liu Xunyi's eyes, they were just four fledgling children.

Normally, they have the support of Prince Xian's Mansion and Lin Fangda, so they can get some tasks done, but when they really encounter such a life-and-death situation, they still can't hide the fear in their hearts.

The four looked at Liu Xunyi with fear and pleading eyes, as if they were crying out to Liu Xunyi for help: "Brother Liu, please save us, we don't want to die..."

"Since you refuse to let them go, let's kill two of them first so that you can wake up..."

"Wait!"

Finally, Liu Xunyi shouted loudly to stop the Mongolian soldiers who were about to kill him, and took the initiative to let go of Zamur. He slowly stepped back two steps, and threw the sword on the ground with a "clang" to show compromise.

"I'll let them go, but don't hurt their lives..."

"What an ungrateful bastard!"

Zamur, who had just escaped a disaster, suddenly turned around and kicked Liu Xunyi in the stomach. After knocking him over, he pounced on him like a wolf, punching and kicking him violently, until he was exhausted and gasping for breath, and then he just stopped.

Looking at Liu Xunyi curled up on the ground, motionless, Zamur spat at him still unsatisfied. Then he wiped his bloody fist with his sleeve and walked to the four people of "Fushoukangning" and kicked each of them on the head a few times before venting his anger.

"We've taken the people away!" Zamur looked at Zhuge Wu and said, "Remember to tell Luo Tianjin that if he wants to save people, let him go to the general's mansion in person. I don't have much patience. If he doesn't show up before dawn tomorrow, I'll throw them into the frying pan and fry them!"

After saying that, Zamur took Liu Xunyi and four others and left the Donghai Teahouse in a hurry.

After Zamur left, Zhuge Wu let out a long breath with lingering fear, and then he cast a half-smile at the teahouse owner who had already become weak in fear.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper trembled and kowtowed to Zhuge Wu, begging repeatedly: "Master, please spare my life, please spare my life, I didn't invite the people from the Xianwang Mansion, please don't vent your anger on me..."

"Stop knocking." Zhuge Wu raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Did you hear what the Mongolian said just now?"

"I heard it."

"Then hurry up and report to the Xianwang Mansion! The longer you delay, the worse the fate of the five of them will be. Hehe..."
