As a result, no matter how good-natured a person was, they would not be able to contain their anger, not to mention these people were not afraid of Spirit Children, they could not endure the provocation and were used to living in luxury. Seeing that Leng Hong Xiu did not know what was good for her, a long sword suddenly flew over.
Leng Hong Xiu also had the unique weapon she forged in Su City. At this moment, seeing the long sword coming towards her, she also took out her two short swords to block it. The two swords instantly clashed, emitting an ear-piercing sound of metal colliding.
If one person were to take action, all martial arts participants would naturally appear in front of him, except for the Spirit Master and his disciple who had retreated a few steps.
Leng Hong Xiu was trying to stall for time as she struggled to dodge the swords of everyone present. Occasionally, she would use her sword to slash a few times. Her goal was not to kill people, but to give that stupid snake enough time to escape.
Logically speaking, after such a long time, that stupid snake, Sen Luo, should have long since run far away after hearing the news. However, other people might have already known that he was a demon, but he didn't know that there was a problem, so he didn't feel anything.
Therefore, Leng Hong Xiu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sense the danger of this old man called Chong Ling Zi, so she made such a big commotion. If it wasn't for the fact that it was inappropriate to use a gun in front of the mansion, it would have been fine if he just killed all of them.
In the end, it was all the fault of that stupid snake. Since these people were chasing after the demon under the orders of the emperor, there were only two possibilities. Either Leng Qingyun's identity was not simple, so the matter was exposed, or the stupid snake ate something in the capital that shouldn't have been eaten.
In fact, Leng Hong Xiu's guess was correct. However, Ling Zi's group was not the latter's victim, but the former one sent by Leng Qing Yun's victim.
Just as Leng Hong Xiu was getting distracted, a sharp sword was already aimed at her shoulder. It was already too late for her to dodge, and Leng Hong Xiu immediately decided to lower the damage to the lowest point, dodging instantly. The sharp sword tip immediately slashed across Leng Hong Xiu's shoulder, cutting a piece of cloth and half of the flesh, instantly cutting it off, causing fresh blood to ooze out.
The short sword in her hand suddenly turned around in her palm, and forcefully stabbed back into the abdomen of the person who injured her shoulder. That person did not expect that under the pain, not only did Leng Hong Xiu not stop her attacks, she immediately followed him as if she did not feel any pain.
Behind Leng Hong Xiu, at least eight swords pierced towards her, just at that moment, the door to the mansion opened completely, behind the butler were two neat guards, one of them said, "Go, capture all those who dare to cause trouble in front of the mansion!"
All of the spear-wielding guards ran out of training, surrounding everyone in the middle. After all, this group of Spirit Masters were the imperial food, and did not dare to clash with the guards of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, so after hearing that, they all withdrew their swords and backed off a few steps. However, Leng Hong Xiu did not have this worry, while everyone was still stunned, her short sword had already pierced into the man's lower ribs, and then she quickly pulled it out.
The crowd that had just stopped once again tried to surround him, but they were stopped by a guard from the manor. "Stop! You have the guts to purposely fight in front of the door while the Ninth Prince is meditating. Do you want to disrupt his contemplation? Such contempt for the dignity of the imperial court and the Ninth Prince is truly lawless.
General, you've misunderstood, this person was the one who came looking for us, if not — "Before Ling Zi could finish her explanation, Leng Hong Xiu had already sneered," What a joke, I came here to visit the Ninth Prince, but was then taken advantage of at the door by this group of people who claimed to be officials of the imperial court. I, a man, was already humiliated and indignant to be humiliated to such an extent, yet this group of people still dare to call for thieves, do I have to make the decision with the Ninth Prince? Could it be that the officials of Ascending Sun were actually of such low quality? Besides, I was the first one to get injured and lose blood. Which law of the Rising Sun Nation forbids victims from defending themselves? I believe that the generals of the Ninth Prince's Mansion are naturally not the kind of people who can't make sense of what's right and wrong! However, making a move in front of the Ninth Prince's Mansion would indeed obstruct the dignity of the Duke's Mansion. I am willing to suffer the punishment of being imprisoned.
Not only did he make everyone, including the butler, so angry that they were speechless, he even made the guards of the Ninth Prince's Mansion nod their heads in agreement. They felt that everything was reasonable, and in the end, even more so, they were willing to plead guilty against him. In an instant, all the guards, including the butler, felt their hearts pounding in favor of Leng Hong Xiu.
Naturally, a large part of the reason was due to Leng Hong Xiu's extraordinary temperament, as well as her cold and disdainful expression. Even though her shoulders were bleeding, her arrogant standing posture was not the least bit awkward, but compared to him, her actions, including the Spirit Master, were much more despicable. Especially her appearance, it was truly looked down upon by the butler.
Now, the butler immediately squeezed into the crowd and walked in front of Leng Hong Xiu, asking in a diligent tone, "Young Master, are you a friend of our Prince?"
"I wonder if the steward knows about the original Drunkard's Residence?" Leng Hong Xiu moderated her expression and asked.
"I know, I know, how can I not know? Could it be that His Highness's guess about that place has something to do with you, Young Master? " The steward's eyes lit up.
"Yes, the Ninth Prince is planning to build a bigger building together with me in the original place of the Drunken Land, which will be used to manage new businesses. Today, the building is being built for that building, but he didn't expect to encounter such a shameful situation before even entering the gate. I —"
Leng Hong Xiu stared coldly at Ling Zi as she spoke, making the housekeeper lose his good impression of Ling Zi and become even more respectful towards Leng Hong Xiu, "So Sir is the one who asked our Prince to order the demolition of a drunken village. Leng Hong Xiu stared coldly at Ling Zi as she spoke, making the butler lose good impression of Ling Zi and become even more respectful towards Leng Hong Xiu, and she became even more respectful as she said," So Sir, you are the one who asked our Prince to demolish a drunk person.
"Thank you, butler, but my appearance is such that even if I were to seek an audience, I wouldn't be able to see it. It's really embarrassing, and as for disturbing the order in front of the mansion, I —"
Before Leng Hong Xiu could finish her words, the butler had already bellowed, "Capture all of them and lock them in the prison prepared for the capital city. Without orders from the Prince, no one is allowed to let them out."
"Wait, you're just a steward. What reason do you have to go all out to capture our imperial court officials?" The leader of the Spirit Masters started to protest. Although they were also worried about the prestige of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, they could not compromise if they were put in a cell in the capital city. If something happened to the Ninth Prince, they would never have the chance to come out.
"How dare you!" I am not sure if you are the court officials or not. Since you are acting so arrogantly in front of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, I have the authority to order you people to be arrested.
Upon hearing that they actually dared to protest, the housekeeper immediately became furious. With a wave of his hand, a large group of soldiers rushed out from the door and surrounded the Spirit Master and the others.
Leng Hong Xiu looked at them coldly and revealed a mocking smile, and when the leader saw her sneer, he immediately raised his sword and roared, and wanted to rush over, but was immediately besieged by the guards of the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Not long after that, more than five spears were aimed at his chest and back, large enough that he either did not move, or if he did move, they would poke him in the heart.
The person had no choice but to stop moving, but seeing Leng Hong Xiu's expression, he seemed to want to kill him quickly, and the butler who was already standing with Leng Hong Xiu outside of the crowd, saw that person charge forward even at a time like this, and his face was even more repulsive, and he became even angrier as he bellowed, "All of you, hold them in custody. If you resist again, kill them."
Like this, Leng Hong Xiu watched as those people were escorted by the guards of the Ninth Prince's mansion to the capital. It seemed that they were going to be sent to the capital to be prepared.
The wound on her shoulder actually did not feel any pain at all. Leng Hong Xiu turned her head to look down and discovered that although the blood was still flowing, there was no new blood flowing out of it. Furthermore, the wound was actually showing signs of recovery, causing Leng Hong Xiu to feel incredulous.
Immediately, she covered the area with her hands, completely confirming that the soft and smooth skin beneath her palms was not an illusion created by her eyes, but rather that there were no signs of injuries at all. Seeing this action from the butler and the remaining guards, she felt that the pain was unbearable.
Immediately, the housekeeper could not help but speak out in concern, "Young Master, please enter the manor first. This old man will have someone send a doctor for you."
"No need, thank you for your kind intentions, but don't let the dirty blood stain the prince's mansion. If the butler and the generals don't capture me, I would already be very grateful. If you don't mind, I will return to the doctor first."
"What else is there to say? Young Master, please come on in. Do you want the Duke Palace to send a carriage over for you? " The steward admired such a man. He didn't cry out in pain at all when he was injured, unlike the man before him, who had just been hit by a sword and had fallen to the ground without using any strength at all.
How could he know that Leng Hong Xiu was only injured by a superficial wound? Previously, the person was suffering from an authentic internal injury, and Leng Hong Xiu's sword strike was not shallow, if he did not find a doctor in time, the person would die sooner or later due to excessive bleeding from his spleen. However, Leng Hong Xiu would not say anything, as from the day she became a cold-blooded Leng Hong Xiu, no one was allowed to injure her, and she was completely unharmed.
"There's no need, thank you, Butler. It's just a minor injury, I can leave by myself. Goodbye!" After saying that, Leng Hong Xiu walked away with steady steps. From start to finish, she did not mention a single question related to Sen Luo.
