Right at this moment, a dignified shout rang out from the other side of the alley, along with the sound of footsteps and horse hooves. The squad leader's expression changed, and he steeled his heart, wanting to take out the command medallion first.

Swoosh!

A sonic boom sounded out as a great sense of danger enveloped him. He no longer had the time to retrieve his command medallion, and with his life on the line, his figure exploded as he retreated.

His body swayed a bit before he was brought back more than ten meters back by a huge force. Only then did he stabilize his body.

When he looked down, he felt like his soul had left his body. Cold sweat trickled down his face.

Just a bit more, just a bit more, and he would have died.

He saw that there was a transparent hole on the armor around his crotch. That spot was less than an inch away from the root of his descendant.

He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as his heart was filled with joy. He looked behind him to see an arrow sticking out of the wall.

If this arrow were to hit him, he wouldn't be able to survive.

He turned around and looked in the direction of the loud shout and the arrows. His expression became even more unsightly, but he did not dare to act rashly.

This person was none other than one of the city guards that was in charge of security in Lingxiao City, their sworn enemy.

The leader of the city guards was a square-faced general clad in golden armor. He was clad in golden mail and held a bow in his hand. It was obvious that he had shot that arrow.

Behind him were his eight personal guards and over a hundred city guards.

But what confused the captain was, why was he here?

With his identity, shouldn't he be guarding the Mayor's Mansion right now? How could he have come to patrol?

When he thought about the two corpses on the ground, he felt that he was in trouble. He had been involved in an earth-shattering conspiracy.

All of this was absolutely not a coincidence. Everything had been arranged by others, and it was a plot to fight between the Wen Yuan manor and the eastern manor.

This was because this golden-armored general was the City Protector's Vice Commander, Qin Wang, Qin Yang's younger brother, Qin Fang.

Qin Fang coldly looked at the guard captain, dismounted from his horse, and strode toward the two corpses.

When he saw the command token in the corpse's hands, his expression changed and a ghastly killing intent exploded from his body as he shouted, "The bold Marquis Wen Yuan actually dared to kill a loyal general of the imperial court!"

He thought to himself: That stinky Ling Yun sure did play it big this time, but I like it, haha …

The janissaries behind him secretly rolled their eyes. My great commander, your acting is way too good.

You have already been outside the alley for nearly three minutes. You have seen the entire process of the battle, don't you know the truth?

That's right, Ling Yun had long since arranged all of this.

When he left the teahouse, he had already contacted Qin Fang, telling him to bring his men to the alley and watch a good show. He wanted to let the vice president do it, but Lingyun wanted him to do it personally.

How could Qin Fang not know what tricks Lingyun had up his sleeve? He did not expect it to be such a big deal, no wonder Lingyun said he was the only one who could keep things under control.

If the plan succeeded this time, then even if the House of the Eastern Marquis did not fall out with the House of the Marquis Wen Yuan.

With Lin Quan's temperament, the two families would not be able to get along with each other like they used to.

Without losing a single soldier, the Marquis of Wen Yuan's Mansion had lost an arm of strength … Qin Fang couldn't help but admire Lingyun from the bottom of his heart.

"How dare you! As the guard of the imperial city, you bear the heavy responsibility of trying to conceal this matter from the public. You have truly betrayed the trust that the king had placed in you."

Qin Fang turned around and looked at the patrolling guards with furious eyes. With a furious expression, he waved his hand, "Capture them."

Disappoint His Majesty's trust?

Everyone present couldn't help but roll their eyes. In the entire Lingxiao City and even the entire Lingxiao Empire, who didn't know that the patrolling soldiers were from the Wen Yuan Marquis' Mansion? The Imperial Family simply didn't care.

Of course, before the Wen Yuan Marquis Mansion rebelled, the royal family still nominally took care of the patrolling guards.

It's just that nominally and in fact are two completely different things.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

The guards in heavy golden armor chuckled as they walked towards the guards.

The conflict between the patrolling guards and the city guards had existed for who knows how many years.

For example, if they caught any bandits, the other side would definitely step in and cause trouble from the middle.

Now that they finally had a hold on these guys, they were naturally excited. They even looked forward to the dozen or so guys resisting, so that they could properly beat them up.

In any case, they had the absolute advantage in numbers. Even if the personal guards didn't make a move, over a hundred of them would simply be one-sided when fighting against over a dozen people.

However, their opponent was very clear about what they were planning. He only glared at them with flames of fury burning in his eyes. However, he did not resist and allowed them to remove their weapons.

Qin Fang did not take any further action. He stood beside the two corpses quietly, as if he was waiting for something.

He didn't have to wait long before the sound of galloping horses came again. A minute later, a silver-armored general appeared with hundreds of patrolling soldiers.

Seeing the visitor, a smile appeared on Qin Fang's face. The game had officially begun …

Within Yin Yan's room in the Spring Breeze House, Wen Shang was lazily lying on his teacher's chair, anger still lingering on his face.

After leaving the Cloud Tea House, he did not return to the Wen Yuan manor. Instead, he brought the two black clothed guards with him to the Spring Breeze House. As for Lin Zheng, he was brought to the Wen Yuan manor.

"What's wrong? Who made you so angry? " Yin Yan's expression was still indifferent, but her eyes occasionally revealed gentleness. Standing behind Wen Shang, her jade-white hands gently massaged Wen Shang's shoulders, she asked with some curiosity.

"It's still not that Ling Yun!" Wen Shang's eyes flashed with anger, "Today, I was fooled by that guy!"

Until now, he still had some doubts in his heart. Although in the open and secret battles between him and Ling Yun, Ling Yun had also taken advantage of him, but overall, he still had the upper hand.

However, he did not expect that this time, Lingyun would go against his usual style, and cause him to be covered in dirt. From birth until now, he had never suffered such a loss, and this made him, who was always happy, to reveal an angry expression for the first time.

"Oh?" The curiosity in Yan Yan Yan's eyes became even more intense as she looked at Wen Shang.

Wen Shang recounted everything.

Yin Yan lightly knitted her brows. After a moment of silence, she said, "He grasped onto your overly conceited nature. First, she dispelled your suspicions, and then …" Yin Yan explained.

"What a good Ling Yun. No wonder he doesn't avoid beating up Lin Zheng and the others like he did in the past." Wen Shang suddenly realized something and felt angry.

"…" Just as Yin Yan was about to say something, a series of hurried knocks sounded out in their ears.

Wen Shang was enraged and was about to flare up. Yin Yan slightly frowned, but still said softly, "Go out and take a look! Maybe something had happened! Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to disturb us! "

"Alright!"
