Chapter 126 Siege
"mother……"
The young man cried out in grief, rushed into the yard and helped his mother up.
The old woman was still alive at this time. She grabbed her son's wrist and pointed at the Xu family members outside the yard with one hand. But as soon as she opened her mouth, blood gushed out. The young man hurriedly used his hands to catch the blood, but the next moment, the old woman's whole body relaxed and she was completely dead.
"mother……"
This sudden change was beyond everyone's expectations. Ling Chuan did not come to his senses until this moment. The ruthlessness of the other party's attack was completely beyond his understanding.
However, the murderer showed no concern at all at this moment, and even stared at Ling Chuan viciously with some disdain and provocation.
At this moment, Leng Wushuang suddenly came close to Ling Chuan and started making some babbling sounds. Ling Chuan didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but Duan Xifeng at the side asked, "Are you saying he is the murderer?"
This seems to be nonsense. Almost everyone present saw that he was the one who did it. Why would you need to gesture?
But Ling Chuan suddenly came to his senses: "You mean, this person is the assassin from Jilong Mountain?"
Leng Wushuang nodded heavily. Although the assassin had his face covered at the time, Leng Wushuang had fought with him for a long time, so it was not surprising that he recognized him.
Ling Chuan looked at the other person, his eyes gradually becoming colder: "You are quite courageous. You tried to assassinate me in the capital before, and now you kill someone in front of me?"
The man curled his lips and was about to speak when Xu Kui next to him came over and said, "Don't slander my Third Young Master. More than a hundred people in our Xu family saw that it was your people from the Investigation Department who killed people in anger. Xiao Dezi, go report to the police."
"Third Young Master?" Ling Chuan smiled: "So, you are Xu Hongtu's son?"
The expression on the other person's face suddenly became fierce: "You also called my father by his name?"
Sensing the opponent's hostility, Chuyi took a step forward and stood in front of Lingchuan. The opponent obviously felt the pressure, and the sword that was originally held upside down was suddenly placed horizontally in front of him.
Just when the situation was tense, Xu Kui interrupted and said, "Third Young Master, go back first. Leave this to me."
The third young master was Xu Lang. He snorted, put away his sword and left.
Ling Chuan quickly said to Chu Yi: "This man is the murderer, don't let him get away."
Before he could finish his words, Chuyi had already jumped out. The next moment, two figures were seen exchanging a few moves with each other. Then Xu Lang was slapped away by Chuyi, knocking down seven or eight members of the Xu family.
The rest of the Xu family rushed forward waving sticks. Chu Yi could only fight off a few of them, then rushed back in a few moves. He then looked at Xu Lang who had climbed up in confusion: "Shaolin swordsmanship, are you a disciple of Zen Master Guangchun?"
Xu Lang did not reply. He just looked at Chuyi for a moment, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned around and left.
Chuyi wanted to chase him, but the Xu family members raised their sticks. Lingchuan also said, "Forget it. It's enough to know his identity. The monk may run away, but the temple cannot."
Duan Xifeng frowned and came over to ask, "What should we do now?"
Ling Chuan sighed: "Let's protect the scene first. Xu Kui is clearly trying to trick us. We can't afford to suffer this loss."
After saying this, he approached the young man and said, "Young man, if you want to avenge your mother, when the government officials come, tell the truth. Do you understand?"
The boy looked up at Ling Chuan, his eyes full of anger: "Get lost, if it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't be dead."
Ling Chuan was speechless. This guy couldn't tell right from wrong. So he retreated to Duan Xifeng's side and said, "Tell people to harness the carriage and prepare the luggage. It looks like we have to run away."
Duan Xifeng was stunned: "They still dare to attack the officials?"
Ling Chuan smiled bitterly: "What siege? I think they want to silence me. They even found an excuse."
Chu Yi on the side said in a deep voice: "These people can't stop you and me."
"They've already called for reinforcements." Ling Chuan said with a curled lip: "Old Cao said you're a top-notch expert, how come you can't even take down a Third Young Master?"
"Because the other party is also a top-notch expert."
Ling Chuan hissed, "Are top-notch experts so worthless? They're everywhere?"
Although Chuyi was leaning to one side, he still rolled his eyes at Lingchuan: "Master Guangchun is on par with my master, how bad can his disciples be?"
Ling Chuan was speechless, and turned to Xu Kui outside the yard: "Do you know that besieging officials is equivalent to rebellion?"
Xu Kui sneered, "Don't try to play tricks on me. You are murderers now. We are just helping the government keep an eye on you. Local gentry also have the responsibility to assist the government in arresting bandits."
Ling Chuan gave him a thumbs up: "Great, you can even say white is black."
Duan Xifeng pointed at the young man who was still holding his mother's body and said, "What should we do with this kid?"
"This is a witness, so he must be taken away."
When the man heard this, he took two steps back alertly, then picked up his mother's body and tried to run away, but Duan Xifeng grabbed him and threw him to the ground, and the guards nearby tied him up immediately.
Ling Chuan ordered again: "Master Chu, when we retreat later, you should first capture Xu Kui. This old guy must know a lot of Xu family secrets."
To Ling Chuan's surprise, the Xu family's reinforcements arrived very quickly. From a distance, he could see a black mass of them, at least two to three hundred people.
But everyone in the yard was ready, some got on their horses, some got on their cars.
Xu Kui sneered and said, "You can't run away anymore, just surrender."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chuyi jumped to his side, knocked him down with a palm, and carried him back.
"Brother Duan leads the way, and I will cover the rear."
Duan Xifeng still wanted to object, but because Xu Kui was arrested, the servants of the Xu family had already started taking action.
He could only turn over, ride on his white horse, and rush out with the bright silver spear in his hand.
Ling Chuan had already boarded the carriage by now. He was not good at fighting, so he just hid in the corner and observed the enemy.
The first thing he saw was Chuyi, whose figure was like a ghost. All the servants of the Xu family were thrown away wherever he passed. Several people who were holding onto the carriage were pulled and thrown away by him, and flew out and knocked down a group of people.
Hero Chu was indeed very powerful. Ling Chuan secretly praised him and looked ahead, only to find that Duan Xifeng was actually no less powerful than Chu Yi. Wherever the white horse went, the enemies fled in panic.
The guards on both sides of the convoy also displayed their mighty powers, forcing back the Xu family's servants and protecting the convoy as it moved forward.
However, things did not go so smoothly. As soon as the convoy reached the main road, the resistance increased significantly, because the new reinforcements were obviously more powerful than the Xu family's servants.
The servants of the Xu family were only armed with sticks, but these reinforcements were all equipped with shields and swords, and they were well-trained and able to cooperate with each other.
Although Duan Xifeng was no match for his opponent with his gun, the opponent retreated but did not disperse. Duan Xifeng charged several times but failed to break through the opponent's blockade.
The convoy was so shocked that it stopped moving forward. A moment later, the entire convoy was surrounded.
Although Xu Kui had his hands tied behind his back in the car, he still looked defiant: "You can't get away, you'd better release us all quickly, otherwise it will be a fight to the death."
