Moonlight and wind

Chapter 241 Identity Exposed

The moon's shadow dances, and everyone is at peace in one corner.

Before the night had faded completely, Dao Sheng had quietly left Shunyi Inn and walked towards Su Mansion. She felt that the man with supernatural power that he had mentioned yesterday was Shan Zimo, because he had also used the alias Hong Daxia in Yanyu Town.

When they arrived outside the Su Mansion, the imposing gate was closed. Dao Sheng leaned against the majestic stone lion in front of the door. His cold eyes under the black veil of his bamboo hat were watching every move of the Su Mansion!

With a creak, two servants yawned and held large brooms. They opened the door a crack, squeezed out from the crack, and swept the ground along the front of the door.

Under the black veil, Dao Sheng smiled faintly, raised one hand, and a strong airflow pulled a servant to his side.

The servant was so frightened by the sudden pull that he lost his voice!

Dao Sheng made a gesture to keep quiet, and the servant nodded tremblingly.

"Let me ask you, did anyone come to this house yesterday?" Dao Sheng's cold voice whispered into the servant's ear.

"Lady, yes! My housekeeper Ye brought back two beggars. I heard they are very powerful!" The servant kept looking down at his toes and said tremblingly.

"Hanako? What's your name?"

"I'm just a handyman on the porch, I don't know anything else!" The servant trembled even more. "But, I heard from people on the porch that today the master wants to ask those two capable people to select guards for the house, and now the guards are all very angry and are planning to team up to teach him a lesson!"

"How many guards are there in this mansion?"

"There are eighty of them!"

"Your master has so many thugs. Is there some treasure in his house?" Dao Sheng sneered.

"Although the Su family is a wealthy businessman in Hefeng Town, with a fortune of millions, my master's real treasure is my young lady," the servant replied with his head down, "these guards are here to protect my young lady!"

"Is your young lady so precious?"

"Yes! My lady is the most beautiful woman in this area!" The servant laughed unconsciously when he said this. "Lady, please spare me, I only know this much!"

"Go away!" Dao Sheng waved his hand, letting the servant leave, and continued to lean on the stone lion, thinking.

Shan Zimo walked out of the housekeeper's building, stretching his body. He had a rare good night's sleep, which was very useful! The kitchen had prepared meals, and the two of them walked swaggeringly to the place where the servants ate.

As soon as they pushed the door open, eighty pairs of vicious eyes stared at them. These were the eighty guards of the Su Mansion! Each of them looked ferocious and fierce, and none of them looked easy to deal with!

"Ha! A wealthy family!" Shan Zimo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at this huge staff cafeteria!

"Master," Shan Boyu whispered in Shan Zimo's ear, "It seems to me that these people are not very friendly!"

"Of course!" Shan Zimo didn't care at all. He found an empty seat and sat down casually. "These are probably the guards of the Su Mansion. We are going to offend these masters today. Their feelings are understandable!"

"Young Master, have you thought about how to select?" Shan Boyu carefully picked up a steamed bun on the table and started eating it in small bites.

"No!" Shan Zimo's eyes revealed determination and calmness, "We'll see when the time comes!"

After hearing these words, Shan Boyu almost choked!

Shan Boyu finished his breakfast in fear and followed Shan Zimo and the eighty guards to the martial arts training ground where they practiced martial arts every day. There were swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. It was obvious that Su Yuanxiu had high expectations for these guards!

There were already seats set up next to the martial arts training ground. Su Yuanxiu must have wanted to come and take a look in person at this powerful person that Butler Ye had mentioned.

Eighty guards stood in line opposite Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu. The air was tense and it seemed that a big battle was about to break out!

"Miss!" The little girl ran into Su Ke'er's boudoir, "Hanako, who was brought back by Butler Ye yesterday, is now in the martial arts training ground and is about to fight with the eighty guards!"

"Hanako?"

"Yes! The young lady is right!" The little girl said as she helped Su Ke'er wash and dress, "That Huazi is the Huazi who came to the porridge factory to ask for porridge yesterday. The young lady said that he has an extraordinary temperament and told him not to be a Huazi anymore!"

"It's him?" Su Ke'er was shocked, then she lifted her skirt and trotted towards the martial arts training ground!

"Dad!" Su Ke'er tried hard to steady her breathing so as not to let Su Yuanxiu see that she was out of breath from rushing over.

"Ke'er," Su Yuanxiu was delighted to see his beautiful daughter, "Come! Sit down! You don't often see such a scene. Let's see what this capable man can do!"

"Tell me, how do you plan to compete?" The leading guard weighed the sword on his shoulder, and the iron ring on the sword made a clanging sound!

"It's you!" A cold voice came from the rockery on one side of the martial arts training ground. Everyone looked over and saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat and a black outfit standing on it. Dao Sheng grasped the big knife at his waist and said, "Today I'll see where you can escape!"

For a moment, everyone present was confused about the situation. Shan Zimo raised his hand and pointed, shouting, "Let's see who can take her down first!"

With a whoosh, eighty pairs of murderous eyes looked at Dao Sheng in unison! Without a moment's hesitation, eighty guards brandished their weapons and rushed towards Dao Sheng!

"Master, you are too mean!" Shan Boyu covered his face with his hands. He was too embarrassed to look at the unbelievable expressions of Su Yuanxiu and Su Keer!

"Get out of my way!" Dao Sheng roared like a lion, frightening the guards who were rushing over! "Whoever dares to stop me from arresting the imperial criminals, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Wanted to commit a crime?" The entire Su Mansion was in a panic! Butler Ye immediately protected Su Yuanxiu and Su Ke'er behind him, and the servants around them surrounded the three of them, fearing that there would be any mishaps!

"This man is Shan Zimo, a wanted criminal of the imperial court!" Dao Sheng swung the knife in his hand, pointing it at Shan Zimo who was standing still. "Capture him, and the reward will be 100,000 taels!"

Shan Zimo clasped his hands together with an unruly smile on his face, "You have been chasing me all the way. Otherwise, I would have given up and you would have quickly arrested me. At least I would have something to eat in prison!"

"Young Master!" Shan Boyu trotted over to Shan Zimo, "We can't just give up! The Third Hall Master is waiting for you at home!"

"Are you the eldest young master of the Snow Shadow Hall of the Northern Kingdom?" Su Yuanxiu pushed away the servant who was blocking his way and walked to the front, looking at this man with extraordinary temperament again.

"That's right!" Shan Zimo said with a smile, "You can see that the situation forced me to hide my identity!"

"Bah!" Dao Sheng spat, "You are a wanted criminal, but you speak so nicely! If you hadn't hidden your identity, we would have arrested you long ago!"

"In that case," Su Yuanxiu looked at the situation around him and raised his hand.

"Young Master, let's run quickly!" Shan Boyu pulled Shan Zimo's arm and was about to run, "If we don't run now, it will be too late!"

Su Yuanxiu pointed at the eighty guards and said, "Whoever captures her will stay in the Su family!"
