n

n

n“Why are you only here now?” Shen Yiming was puzzled.

n

nHe asked again.

n

n“Did you encounter any trouble on the way?”

n

n“It’s not too much trouble. ” Xiao ran shook his head.

n

n“I met the people of the Jiang mansion and took care of them. I wasted some time.”

n

nHe looked at Bai Zhanyu.

n

n“Didn’t I ask Xiao Zhou to call you back?”

n

n“It’s fine if I don’t know about little Zhou’s accident. If I had known, would I still be human if I went back now?” Bai Zhanyu smiled wryly.

n

n“Brother Xiao, I know you’re doing this for my own good! If I were to get involved in this matter and extend my hand from the north to the south, I would be breaking the rules. In serious cases, his life would be over. But I don’t care, there must be an explanation for this!”

n

nXiao ran patted his shoulder. They were all brothers, and everything was clear without words.

n

nThere was no need to say too much nonsense.

n

nJust as he was about to give the order to surround the Jiang Manor, the sound of hurried horse hooves and countless footsteps rang out.

n

nThe night sky was illuminated.

n

nTwo thousand soldiers were riding Night Dragon horses, holding torches, and rushing toward them under the leadership of two young men.

n

nThey were Gu qiuhe and Shi Ming.

n

nAfter a few breaths.

n

nThe two men led the Army to a stop, jumped off their horses, and quickly walked over.

n

n“Brother Xiao (uncle Xiao)!”

n

nLooking at little Zhou and seeing that he was fine and just in a terrible state, his tensed heart finally relaxed.”No one can bully us brothers, even if he’s Jiang Ming, the Vice Dean of Imperial College, the second Prince’s brother-in-law, and the head of the Jiang family!”

n

n“Brother Gu, brother Shi …” Xiao Zhou was touched. His heart was filled with warmth.

n

nThe words that were about to come out of his mouth could not come out.

n

n“Don’t be so wishy-washy. After this, the drunken immortal court will invite us to have a good time!” Gu qiuhe rolled his eyes at him.

n

n“Don’t take me with you. If Yujing finds out, she won’t even be able to enter the house. ” Shi Ming said.

n

n“Look at you. We’re not even married yet and she’s already scaring you like this. After we get married, you’ll do whatever she asks you to do.” Gu qiuhe teased.

n

n“Alright, stop quarreling.” Xiao ran asked them to stop.

n

n“Why are you guys here?”

n

nThe two of them looked at each other.

n

nGu qiuhe said,”uncle Xiao, you’re being unreasonable. Such a big thing happened and you didn’t even inform us!”

n

n“This matter has been spreading like wildfire, and everyone knows about it. It just so happened that I was with Shi Ming. After I got the news, I rushed to the Ministry of War. Before we could enter, my father came out and borrowed his token to transfer two thousand troops from the fifth Department of City defense. ”

n

nThe five divisions of city defense were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

n

nThey were in charge of the security, patrols, curfews, and city gates.

n

nHe pointed at the 2000 soldiers behind him, fully equipped with armor, bows, swords, and Spears. They were armed to the teeth and had almost no weaknesses.

n

nAs they stood there, they exuded an iron-like baleful aura. One look and one could tell that they were elite soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles and had been rotated out from the battlefield.

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

nShen Yiming asked,”what should we do?”

n

nHe looked at the Jiang mansion.

n

nSeeing so many people coming, the guards at the door held their weapons and stared at them with vigilance. Someone had already sent the news in.

n

n“Gu qiuhe, you and Bai Zhanyu, bring your men and surround the Jiang Manor. Don’t let even a fly escape.” Xiao ran ordered.

n

n“Yes.” The two of them responded.

n

nHe ordered his men to surround the Jiang mansion.

n

nHe nocked an arrow and pulled the bowstring, aiming at the Jiang mansion.

n

nAs long as Xiao ran gave the order, he would be able to shoot through the Jiang mansion.

n

n“We’ll attack from the front. If they dare to resist, we’ll capture them immediately! Remember, capture Jiang Ming alive. ”

n

n“Yes.” No one had any objections.

n

nHe followed Xiao ran to the Jiang mansion.

n

nThe leading guard suppressed his panic and took a step forward.”This is the Jiang Manor, the residence of the current Imperial College’s Vice Dean. What do you want to do by privately mobilizing your troops to surround the Jiang Manor?”

n

n“Get lost!” Xiao ran berated.

n

nHis voice turned into a terrifying Sonic Boom that engulfed the guards outside.

n

nThey were heavily injured and fell to the ground.

n

nHe walked to the main door, kicked it open roughly, and took the lead to enter.

n

nThe Jiang mansion had already received the news that Jiang Ming was not in the mansion. The person in charge of the mansion was called Jiang Huan, his eldest son. When he received the report from his servant, he immediately got out of bed and rushed over with the guards in the mansion.

n

nIt just so happened that they met in the front courtyard.

n

nMore than a hundred people with swords and sabers in their hands, in addition to the experts gathered in the mansion, were confronting Xiao ran and his group.

n

nHe looked around.

n

nJiang Huan’s cold gaze swept across them one by one. He knew Gu qiuhe and Shi Ming. As for Xiao ran and the other two, although he had never met them before, he could guess their identities easily with the divine sword guard and God Slayer sect’s men.

n

nHe looked at Xiao ran and pinned a huge hat on him.

n

n“You’ve barged into the mansion of a high official with your own troops. Do you want to rebel?”

n

n“Who Do You Think You Are? Are you even worthy of being charged?” Xiao ran said.

n

n“Hmph!” Jiang Huan snorted.

n

n“I’m a scholar of Imperial College, the eldest son of Jiang Ming!”

n

n“Capture him!” Xiao ran’s face darkened as he gave the order.

n

nA group of divine sword guards charged forward with their swords in hand.

n

n“Who would dare!” Jiang Huan roared.

n

nThe guards of the Jiang mansion and the experts he had brought with him stood in front of him, firmly protecting him.

n

nHe looked at Xiao ran with a cold face.

n

n“Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble by doing this?”

n

n“Jiang Ming secretly ordered the Butlers in the mansion to capture little girls and dig out their hearts. How dare you touch my divine sword guards? you’ve committed another crime!” Xiao ran said.

n

n“And you led your men to resist the law and help the evildoers. You are also an accomplice.”
