Chapter 136 The Intention of a Drunkard
Before sunset, Xie Xuan had secretly assembled 150 disciples, disguised themselves and infiltrated the teahouses and taverns around the general's residence in case of emergency.

In the evening, Luo Tianjin, Luo Ningyu, Su Tang, and Deng Changchuan came as invited. Qi Tai, the chief steward of the General's Mansion, personally welcomed them warmly outside the mansion.

After a brief greeting, he led the guest into the mansion. The general's mansion was magnificent and luxuriously decorated with red pillars and carved rafters, painted buildings and carved beams. The jade towers and golden palaces, the idyllic gardens and jade terraces were lined up one after another, stretching endlessly, making people look forward to it.

Led by Qi Tai, Luo Tianjin and his party entered three courtyards in succession and met Wang Xutong and Wang Qingshu in the main hall.

"Your Highness, Lord Luo has arrived." Outside the palace, Qi Tai reported loudly.

"Please!"

Wang Xutong agreed quite cheerfully and hurriedly stood up to go out of the hall to meet him.

"I was just thinking hard about when I could see Mansion Master Luo again, but unexpectedly, here comes the devil. Haha... Qi Tai, go and prepare the banquet quickly. Tonight, I want to stay drunk with Mansion Master Luo." From what Wang Xutong said, it seemed that he was unaware of Luo Tianjin's visit tonight.

"General Wang, you are welcome. I am here tonight just to clear up a misunderstanding. I dare not disturb you too much."

Luo Tianjin looked at Wang Xutong meaningfully. Judging from his slightly cold eyes, Luo Tianjin was not as happy as Wang Xutong at this moment.

"Misunderstanding?" Wang Xutong looked puzzled and asked with a smile, "What misunderstanding?"

"What? General Wang, don't you know the purpose of my coming here?" Luo Tianjin raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Wang Xutong was stunned for a moment, and shook his head in confusion, looking bewildered and clueless.

"You really don't know?"

Being repeatedly questioned by Luo Tianjin, Wang Xutong couldn't help but stare at him, and replied with a smile: "I really don't know the purpose of Lord Luo's visit, and I hope you can tell me frankly."

Seeing Wang Xutong pretending to be confused, Luo Tianjin simply got straight to the point and said, "Please forgive me for being so bold. Today at the Donghai Teahouse, a few of my useless subordinates were captured by a general from your mansion because of a misunderstanding. He told me to go to the general's mansion to redeem them, otherwise he would take their lives. So, I had to come to visit you tonight."

"Oh?" Wang Xutong pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"Absolutely true." Luo Tianjin chuckled, "I wonder what General Wang means..."

"Master Luo, please be patient and sit down and have a cup of tea. I will investigate this matter and give you an explanation." Wang Xutong agreed righteously and turned to Qi Tai and asked, "Who is on duty today?"

"It's Zamur." Qi Tai replied.

"Call him here." Wang Xutong said angrily, "I have something to ask him in person."

"Yes!"

Qi Tai took the order and left, while Wang Xutong and Luo Tianjin exchanged greetings in the hall.

Wang Qingshu, who did not say a word, looked at Luo Ningyu with a pair of unfriendly eyes, which made Luo Ningyu feel uncomfortable and ashamed. However, due to the current situation, she had to suppress her displeasure and drank tea one cup after another with a snort.

As for Deng Changchuan and Su Tang, they were carefully observing their surroundings to prevent any ambushes.

After about an incense stick of time, Qi Tai led Zamur over slowly.

At this moment, Zamur was covered with scars, half of his cheek was wrapped in thick white cloth, and traces of bright red blood were oozing out. It was obvious that his injuries were serious.

"General Zamur greets His Majesty."

Wang Xutong looked at Zamur in surprise and asked, "Why are you dressed like this? Are you injured?"

"Today at the Donghai Teahouse, I was accidentally injured by a few evil thieves when I was arresting them for causing trouble." Zamur replied in a muffled voice, his anger still evident in his tone.

"Evil villain?" Wang Xutong deliberately dragged out his tone. When he saw Luo Tianjin's increasingly gloomy eyes, he immediately pretended to be enlightened and asked angrily, "So, you really arrested someone from the Xianwang Mansion?"

Facing Wang Xutong's reprimand, Zamur was stunned and said in astonishment: "I am following the prince's orders..."

"How dare you!" Before Zamur could finish his words, Qi Tai suddenly shouted, which frightened Zamur's expression. Qi Tai shouted, "Lord Luo is here, don't talk nonsense, or I'll cut off your tongue."

"This……"

Zamur was completely confused. In fact, he went to Donghai Teahouse to set up a trap today because Wang Xutong had given him an order in advance. Now Wang Xutong pretended not to know and put all the blame on him. How could Zamur, a mere warrior, figure out the hidden meaning so quickly?
Deng Changchuan, Su Tang, and Luo Ningyu all heard it clearly, and immediately became angry, and cast their eyes on Luo Tianjin. But Luo Tianjin seemed to have heard nothing, and continued to drink tea with an expressionless face.

Wang Xutong glanced at Luo Tianjin, then coughed twice and ordered, "Come here, quickly invite the distinguished guest from the Xianwang Mansion up."

After a while, with the help of several Mongolian soldiers, Liu Xunyi, who was beaten to pieces and covered in blood, and the four people "Fushou Kangning" were slowly carried to the hall. Among the five people, Liu Xunyi was the most seriously injured. Because he stabbed Zamur, he was hated by him and was tortured continuously after being brought back.

Liu Xunyi's tattered clothes were soaked with blood several times. His whole body was covered with shocking scars, and redness, swelling and bruises were everywhere. At this moment, he was held in the middle by two Mongolian soldiers, his eyes were dazed, his steps were staggering, and he looked like he was dying.

"Looking for clothes!"

Seeing Liu Xunyi in such a state of embarrassment, Luo Ningyu could not help but rush forward first, tears of worry and heartache burst out of her eyes. She pushed the Mongolian soldiers away with all her strength, supported Liu Xunyi's arms with her thin shoulders, and with the help of Su Tang and Deng Changchuan, she slowly retreated to the side and sat down.

Luo Ningyu completely ignored the strange looks from all around her, and knelt down in front of Liu Xunyi. She hurriedly took out her handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood off his face.

Seeing that Liu Xunyi was so badly injured, Luo Tianjin's face darkened immediately. He turned to look at the slightly panicked Zamur and asked coldly, "What crime did they commit? How could they deserve such 'kindness' from the governor?"

"This... is actually..." At this moment, Zamur didn't dare to say anything more and could only look to Wang Xutong for help. But Wang Xutong pretended to be furious and shouted at him: "Zamur, what is going on?"

"They caused trouble in the Donghai Teahouse, and they killed someone on the spot, cutting off one person's hand..." Zamur explained stiffly, "I happened to be passing by with my men, and I wanted to enforce the law impartially and bring them back for interrogation, but I didn't expect these people to openly resist the government troops, not only injuring me, but also injuring many of my brothers. So after bringing them back... I gave these vicious people a little punishment..."

"Liu Xunyi!" Without waiting for Wang Xutong to speak, Luo Tianjin suddenly asked in a cold voice, "Is this true?"

Liu Xunyi ignored Luo Ningyu's dissuasion, stood up shakily, and replied tremblingly: "Yes..."

"Kneel down and apologize!" Luo Tianjin said.

"Dad, this matter..."

“Shut up!” Without waiting for Luo Ningyu to defend Liu Xunyi, Luo Tianjin’s eyes suddenly turned cold and he ordered again, “Liu Xunyi, apologize to General Wang!”

Liu Xunyi glanced at Luo Tianjin, who had a cold look in his eyes, then looked at Luo Ningyu, who was full of resignation. Finally, he nodded slightly and staggered to Wang Xutong. Under the suspicious gazes of everyone, he actually knelt down on the ground with a "thump" and apologized: "I was blind and offended the people in the general's mansion. I hope... I hope General Wang will forgive me."

After that, Liu Xunyi turned to Wang Qingshu and bowed, saying, "Young Prince, I have offended you a lot at the Donghai Teahouse many days ago. Today I apologize to you..." Although Liu Xunyi was extremely reluctant, due to Luo Tianjin's order, he had to swallow the humiliation and kneel down to admit his mistake to the father and son of the Wang family.

"Alright!" Luo Ningyu rushed forward and quickly helped Liu Xunyi up, saying angrily, "You've already kneeled and admitted your mistake. Sit back quickly and let me see your injury." After that, she forcibly dragged Liu Xunyi back without any explanation.

Seeing this, Luo Tianjin showed a trace of satisfaction on his face, and turned to Wang Xutong and said, "General Wang, I am young and ignorant, I hope you will not bear grudges against me. I am negligent in disciplining you, and I apologize to you here!"

When Wang Xutong saw Luo Tianjin and Liu Xunyi singing the same tune, a hint of hesitation suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Zamur!" Wang Xutong suddenly said coldly, "Kneel down!"

"Me?" Zamur looked at Wang Xutong in surprise. When he saw Wang Xutong's murderous eyes, he sighed angrily and knelt on the ground unwillingly.

"Admit your mistake!" Wang Xutong pointed his finger and signaled Zamur to kowtow to Luo Tianjin.

Zamur hesitated for a long time, and finally turned around slowly, bowed slightly to Luo Tianjin, and said nonchalantly: "It's my fault for being blind, please forgive me, Lord Luo..."

"puff!"

"Forehead!"

Before Zamur could finish his words, Wang Xutong suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into Zamur's back without mercy.

Zamur's voice suddenly stopped, his body shook violently a few times, and finally he fell to the ground with unwillingness in his eyes. The bright red blood flowed all over the ground in the blink of an eye. The blood was still warm, but Zamur, who fell in a pool of blood, was no longer alive.

The sudden change surprised Luo Tianjin and others, and they all looked at Wang Xutong in disbelief.

On the other hand, Wang Xutong leisurely pulled the dagger out of Zamur's body and gently wiped the blood off the blade with his sleeve. He was calm and composed, looking relaxed and indifferent.

In Wang Xutong's eyes, a human life is worthless.

"General Wang, what are you doing..."

"Lord Luo and I will be relatives soon." Wang Xutong smiled faintly, "Since we are family, how can I let him off easily if he offended Lord Luo's beloved disciple? I might as well use his life to make up for the grievances suffered by my brothers! Haha..."

After saying that, Wang Xutong suddenly changed the subject and smiled in a secretive manner, "Since we are a family, then this king will not say two different things. The Lord of Luo Mansion is very busy, and it is difficult for us to meet. It is a rare opportunity for the Lord of Luo Mansion and Miss Luo to come tonight, so why don't we take this opportunity to arrange the marriage between my son and your daughter, so that the king can prepare early to avoid missing the auspicious day. Hehe... I wonder what the Lord of Luo Mansion and Miss Luo think?"
