Chapter 342 Catastrophe

Lanyuan is home to envoys from all over the world, and the Xu family dare not let it go wrong.

In addition, the governor's mansion was attacked by "refugees" and they were attacked from both sides, which was enough for them to be devastated.

Jiang Yue watched indifferently as the guards were dispatched, half of them went to put out the fire in Lanyuan, and the other half went to stop the "refugees".

"Let's go." He tightened his belt and turned around to walk into the darkness.

General Hu followed him and asked: "Master Jiang, do you know where he is?"

Jiang Yue said as he walked: "Yan Er invited Chu and Zhao to have a banquet in the small building across the front courtyard. Several ladies from the Xu family rehearsed a dance and had fun in the small garden. Princess Changning must be there."

General Hu frowned: "I'm going to kill Princess Changning, then you..."

"The small garden is next to the front courtyard, so we can support each other."

General Hu understood that Jiang Yue wanted to kill those in the small building.

"It is said that the Second Young Master Yan is brave enough to conquer all three armies. Young Master Jiang, are you sure?"

Jiang Yue twitched his lips: "Who said my target is him?"

General Hu was startled for a moment and suddenly realized: "Chu Jiu and Zhao Liu died in Nanyuan. The Hexing Prince's Palace and the Zhangzhou Zhao family will definitely not give up!"

Jiang Yue nodded: "Lan Yuan is on fire, so we can hold off Prince Liang. The guards of the Governor's Mansion are focused on one thing and not the other. There is only one top expert, Yan Er, in the manor. We are going to kill three people. Let's see which one he can save!"

With that said, they arrived at the outer wall, each kept silent, and led their men over.

The atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion was tense. Most of the guards had gone to the door. Most of the guards were empty, so there was a loophole to exploit.

A group of people entered the Governor's Mansion and approached the small building under the cover of night.

They already knew what happened outside, the banquet was over, and the music stopped.

Jiang Yue leaned against the wall and saw Yan Ling emerging from the second floor. He asked loudly: "How is it in front? Do you want my help?"

A group of guards passed by in a hurry and replied hastily: "Young Master Yan, you can do what you want, we can handle it."

Yan Ling scratched his head and said to the person next to him: "Then let's wait here for the news."

The offensive outside became more violent. A torch was thrown in from nowhere, and the maid in the small garden screamed in fright.

Yan Ling was restless and looked outside frequently.

Next to him, Young Master Chu Jiu was considerate: "The Governor's Mansion is currently short of manpower, and there are only women there. Why don't you, Brother Yan Xian, go over there and have a look? You are already a family, and this is not an overstep of the rules in extraordinary times."

Yan Ling fell into what he wanted and happily agreed: "Then I'll go and come back. If anything happens here, Brother Chu and Brother Xian remember to call me."

Zhao Liu responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, our guards are downstairs, everything will be fine."

Yan Ling cupped her hands and jumped directly from the window.

After he left, Chu Jiu and Zhao Liu leaned against the window and chatted.

"Brother Chu, look, there's a lot of fire over there in Lanyuan. Fortunately, we're not here."

"My dear brother, don't rejoice too early. Those refugees at the door came very strangely. I'm afraid someone wants to make the Xu family look good."

"I heard that Miss Xu San took the initiative a while ago and took in a group of refugees. It seems that someone with malicious intentions got in among them."

"Does this person have any grudge against the Xu family? There are so many envoys gathered in Nanyuan. If something happens, then the Xu family..."

"It seems like we can't stay in Nanyuan City for long..."

While the two were talking, suddenly a gust of wind came and the candlelights in the building went out with a "pop" sound.

They turned their heads and looked around, and there was a slight and frightening sound of wind coming from their ears.

"Sir, be careful!" the two guards shouted at the same time, pushing them away.

Chu Jiu and Zhao Liu staggered a few steps, one bumped into the table and the other hit a chair.

The small building was engulfed in darkness, with only the faint moonlight shining in from the window.

But then the sound of weapons, fists and kicks rang out in the darkness, making people panic.

"Who?" Zhao Liu shouted, "If you dare to attack us, do you know who we are?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cold light reappeared!

The guard rushed over, kicked the sharp blade, and shouted: "Master, Mo Yan! If you say anything, they will find out!"

Zhao Liu suddenly covered his mouth and huddled in the darkness, daring not to move.

There was a lot of clanking and banging in the small building, tables were kicked over, bowls and plates were thrown all over the floor, and none of the many treasure boxes, flower tables, and various other furnishings were in good condition.

The battle in the darkness didn't last long. Someone made an "ah" sound and rolled down the stairs. Then there was a loud thud, and the battlefield moved from the second floor to the first floor.

Chu Jiu let out a breath and helped Zhao Liu up in the dark.

"Brother Chu, what should we do?" Zhao Liu's voice was panicked, "The person who came here is evil, the guards in the governor's mansion have been transferred away, we are just waiting to die here!"

Chu Jiu's voice was also tight: "Yan Er is in the garden next door. He is very skilled in martial arts. If we can join him, our safety will be guaranteed."

"Having said that, how do we get downstairs?" At this point, he couldn't help but complain, "Yan Er chose a good place, but there is nowhere to run."

Chu Jiu was silent for a moment and said uncertainly: "Maybe we can go down through the window."

"How to do this? We don't have his martial arts skills."

"The rope...yes, the belt. Our belts are connected together and can be used as a rope."

Seeing that the noise downstairs was getting louder and louder, but no one came to rescue him, Zhao Liu swallowed his saliva and said fiercely: "Okay! Let's hurry up!"

After that, the two of them took off their belts in the dark, tied them together, and hung them on the guardrail.

"You first or me first?" Zhao Liu asked.

Chu Jiu hesitated for a moment: "Brother, please go first!"

Zhao Liu nodded gratefully: "Thank you very much. If I can escape safely today, I will definitely remember Brother Chu's love."

Chu Jiu smiled faintly: "We share weal and woe today, and I will keep that in mind."

The two of them stopped talking nonsense and climbed onto the windowsill one after another, grabbing their belts and sliding down.

After a lot of effort, their feet finally touched the ground. The two of them wiped the sweat from their foreheads and helped each other stumble towards the garden next door.

With the chance of life right in front of him, Zhao Liu caught sight of something from the corner of his eye and stopped suddenly, grabbing Chu Jiu's sleeve.

"You...it's you!" he shouted.

Chu Jiu looked up and saw a man standing under the moon cave door, dressed in black, holding a knife on his waist, staring at them gloomily.

"Jiang Yue! What are you going to do?!"

Jiang Yue smiled slightly, with frosty eyes: "You two died here today, only because you were so unlucky! You couldn't do anything wrong, but you came to propose to that woman."

"What happened to the marriage proposal?" Zhao Liu was unconvinced, "What does your grudge with the Xu family have to do with us? If you dare to attack us, aren't you afraid of becoming enemies of the Zhao family and the Hexing Prince's Palace?"

Jiang Yue said contemptuously: "You are dead, the guard is dead, who knows that I did it? The world only knows that Mr. Chu Jiu and Mr. Zhao Liu came to Nanyuan to propose marriage, but unfortunately encountered a civil uprising. The only blame is Miss Xu San.

Being soft-hearted and accepting refugees can lead to catastrophe!"

After saying the last word, he pulled out his knife.

Chu Jiu and Zhao Liu turned around and ran away, but the cold air from the blade followed them like a shadow.

"Ding!" Just as it was about to be chopped down, a sword light flew out of the diagonal stab and stopped it.

Then a smiling voice sounded: "What kind of disaster is this? I think it will be a big disaster if you meet me!"
