Chapter 155 Blood Splattered Night City

The earth-shattering sound of fighting came from the General's Mansion in the North City, and everyone within a hundred miles was terrified. So far, it has lasted for two hours.

A huge fire broke out in the general’s mansion, lighting up the night sky of Luoyang City red.

That night, it seemed as if the heaven and earth were burning madly, the sound of killing was deafening, and there was wailing everywhere. The whole city of Luoyang was shrouded in the horror of killing. The people in the city were terrified and closed their doors and windows tightly. They didn't even have the courage to peek through the cracks. They were even more restless and uneasy in their hearts, as if facing a great enemy.

Luoyang City has not experienced such a massacre for many years. Now, at the beginning of the new year, hundreds of thousands of people are still immersed in joy and peace, but they are suddenly struck by a catastrophe without any warning. How can they not panic?

To the people in the General's Mansion, these three thousand assassins seemed to have dropped from the sky and suddenly appeared before their eyes, and they had not noticed any movement before.

First there was a sudden rain of arrows, followed by a round of meteor rockets. Taking advantage of the chaos in the General's Mansion, two thousand murderous soldiers rushed into the mansion. Without a word of nonsense, they rushed in and started a crazy killing. With the absolute advantage of numbers and the overwhelming momentum, the soldiers of the General's Mansion were caught off guard. In less than an incense stick of time, they were defeated and scattered like birds and beasts.

Inside the general's mansion, everyone was wailing and screaming as they fled in all directions. The three thousand assassination warriors were like gods of death, sweeping away everything in their wake and ruthlessly reaping their lives.

Even if some lucky soldiers managed to escape from the hell on earth of the General's Mansion, they would still be waiting outside for a thousand soldiers ready to fight. After a round of arrow rain, all of these "lucky ones" were riddled with wounds and wounds, and it was difficult to even recognize the human form of the dead.

Tonight, everyone in the general's mansion, regardless of gender, age or status, will be killed without mercy!

No one could have imagined that there would be desperate criminals who dared to attack the general's mansion. These assassins were all dressed up as soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and they shouted the slogan "Conquer the Central Plains in the north and recover the country". At first, Wang Xutong was really shocked and subconsciously thought that it was the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who were attacking.

But then he thought again, how could the Song army suddenly arrive in Luoyang without anyone noticing? So after a little thought, Wang Xutong had guessed the clues and understood everything.

It's a pity that no matter how clearly he thought, facing the life-and-death crisis at hand, he had no choice but to flee in panic.

Strictly speaking, what happened in the general's mansion tonight was not a fight, but a bloody massacre.

Without the general's command, the Mongolian soldiers were already in chaos. In addition, they gradually lost their courage to fear no life or death, and their belief in fighting to the death, and became even more disheartened and complacent. Therefore, in front of the 3,000 well-prepared death warriors, the Mongolian soldiers were almost powerless to resist, and could only face the tragic fate of being slaughtered.

Deng Changchuan drank tea in the private room of the Donghai Teahouse for as long as the killing lasted.

There was only one guest in the Donghai Teahouse tonight, and even the shopkeeper and the waiter were driven away. Deng Changchuan had been sitting in a private room at the end of the second floor, holding a teacup in his hand, looking up at the raging fire in the North City, quietly listening to the sound of fighting and the endless wailing. Although he looked expressionless and calm, his inner tension was no less than that of the people fighting in the general's mansion at the moment.

Deng Changchuan had already drunk three pots of tea, but he could not taste the tea at all. Although he was sitting here, his mind had already flown away.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from the stairs. Three men covered in blood and holding steel knives rushed towards the private room at the end of the corridor. At this moment, blood was still dripping from their blades.

Among the three, the dark-faced bearded man walking in front is the head of the White Horse Hall, Xue Huzi. The one-eyed man on Xue Huzi's left is the head of Happy Forest, Yin Sandao. The tall and thin man on the right is the head of Qingfeng Village, Ma Rufeng.

The three of them are a few years older than Luo Tianjin. When Luo Tianjin was still an unknown person under the Wudang sect, the three of them had already occupied a mountain and become the king, forming a group of green forest heroes and forming their own gang.

Back then, they had met the young and energetic Luo Tianjin, because the three of them admired Luo Tianjin's martial arts and intelligence, and because they were of similar age and had similar personalities, they became brothers of the opposite sex. Therefore, if you count carefully, the three of them are Luo Tianjin's three sworn brothers.

Later, Luo Tianjin gradually became prosperous, and after establishing the Xianwang Mansion, he became famous in the world. However, he never forgot these three brothers, and they have been in constant contact for so many years.

These three men were all fiery and forthright men, and they did not fawn on Luo Tianjin because of his current status, nor did they do anything shameful like "one man's success brings prosperity to all his family members". They were still free and easy, and only exchanged gifts during festivals.

Now that Luo Tianjin had something to ask for, the three of them still helped without hesitation like before, and even rushed to the front without hesitation when selecting the death squad. This shows how deep their friendship with Luo Tianjin was.

Suddenly hearing footsteps, Deng Changchuan's dazed mind was suddenly shaken, and his eyes were as sharp as torches, shooting straight out of the door.

"Fifth Master!"

At the same time, Xue Huzi, Yin Sandao and Ma Rufeng rushed into the private room and bowed to Deng Changchuan one after another.

"How is it?" Deng Changchuan's face instantly showed an indescribable nervousness when he saw them, and even his voice sounded a little trembling. "Check the list you gave us three times carefully." Xue Huzi quickly replied, "Two people are missing."

Deng Changchuan spent a large sum of money to buy the list from the chief clerk of the General's Mansion, with the purpose of preventing any fish from slipping through the net tonight.

"Who?" Deng Changchuan's heart was in his throat at this moment, and his inner nervousness was beyond words.

"The general of Luoyang is Wang Xutong. The chief steward of the general's mansion is Qi Tai."

"boom!"

Deng Changchuan was stunned when these words came out. His lips trembled constantly and his eyes were erratic. After hesitating for a long time, he murmured in a complicated tone: "Why are the two most important ones missing..." Then, Deng Changchuan suddenly raised his head and asked anxiously, "Have you searched the whole house? And the area around the general's house..."

"We have searched every nook and cranny inside and outside the general's mansion three times," Ma Rufeng replied, "but there is no trace of Wang Xutong and Qi Tai. I think they must have escaped."

"Why did they run away?" Deng Changchuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of complaint in his words, "You have a total of 3,000 people, and the general's mansion, together, has only more than 1,000..."

"Originally they had no way of escaping, but then a group of people suddenly showed up from outside and broke through our encirclement." Yin Sandao said indignantly, "If it weren't for that group of people, Wang Xutong would have died for sure."

"Who?" Deng Changchuan asked quickly.

"They should be from Luoyang Iron Palm Gang." Xue Huzi pondered, "Because I vaguely saw the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, Zheng Tiandiao, and their second in command, Xu Tieya, in the crowd."

“Iron Palm Gang!” Deng Changchuan gnashed his teeth in anger, and the teacup in his hand shattered. “First there was the Golden Blade Sect who didn’t know what was good for them, and now the Iron Palm Gang shows up and doesn’t know how to live or die. I’m really pissed off!”

Xue Huzi hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Fifth Master, do you want us to take people to kill the Iron Palm Gang?"

Deng Changchuan shook his head grimly and said, "No need. You have been making trouble in Luoyang City for two hours. If you continue to make trouble, I am afraid that there will be more trouble. Moreover, after Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya rescued Wang Xutong, they will definitely not stay in Luoyang City. They will definitely try to escape. So even if you go, I am afraid you will come back empty-handed."

"Then let's..."

Without waiting for Xue Huzi to finish his words, Deng Changchuan suddenly straightened his expression, and bowed to Xue Huzi and the other two, expressing his gratitude: "Brothers from Baimatang, Qingfengzhai, and Kuaihuolin, you have come to Luoyang to risk your life. I, the Xianwang Mansion, will remember this friendship. On behalf of the Mansion Master, I would like to express my gratitude to all the brothers first!" After that, Deng Changchuan looked at the three people covered in blood with concern, and asked hurriedly: "Three masters, are you injured?"

"This is all the blood of the Tartars. Hehe..." Yin Sanda laughed, "Tonight, our three families lost less than a hundred brothers in total. We have won an unprecedented victory. It was such a satisfying killing! It was so satisfying! Haha..."

"That's great!" Deng Changchuan nodded repeatedly, "We shouldn't stay here for long. The three heads should lead their brothers back to Wuzhuang Temple immediately, and then collect their armor and weapons. Someone will meet you there. After that, the three heads and the brothers should disperse quickly. Someone will take you out of the city overnight to avoid any accidents."

"No problem!" Xue Huzi agreed readily.

"Oh! And..." Deng Changchuan hurriedly took out a thick stack of silver notes from his arms, each of which was worth ten thousand taels. He handed the silver notes to Xue Huzi and the other two, and said with a smile, "This is a little gift from the mansion lord. Please accept it. Once the news has died down, the mansion lord will give you a generous reward!"

"No, no!" Faced with a valuable stack of banknotes, Xue Huzi and the other two turned around and left without even looking back, waving their hands as they walked away, "Take these banknotes back and tell Lao Si not to treat us three as no more than brothers!"

The fourth one is exactly Luo Tianjin’s ranking among his brothers.

"That's right! We are brothers, how can we not help our brothers when they are in trouble? Not to mention the death of a few brothers, even if the four of us are torn to pieces, what will happen? There is a scar as big as a bowl on the head. As brothers, we should stick together through fire and water and never give up!" Ma Rufeng echoed in a muffled voice, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to give us the money? Let the fourth brother take the money back and have a drink with us some other day, then we'll be even! Haha..."

Without waiting for Deng Changchuan to persuade them again, Xue Huzi and the other two walked out of the Donghai Teahouse laughing and quickly disappeared into the night.

Watching the three people walking away, Deng Changchuan couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself, "Over the years, they have never asked the Palace Master for anything. On the contrary, the Palace Master always asks them for help when it is inconvenient for him to show up, and these three have never refused. It is a blessing for the Palace Master to have these three good brothers in his life."

After saying this, Deng Changchuan thought of the missing Wang Xutong and Qi Tai, and couldn't help but sigh. He looked up at the crescent moon hanging at the end of the sky, and muttered to himself: "Wang Xutong and Qi Tai, if these two are not removed, the Xianwang Mansion will not only never have peace, but will also be destroyed in the near future! Alas!"
