From such a short distance, an archer would have to hit the lantern with perfect accuracy.
Liao Cheng gave up the idea of shooting down the lantern with an arrow, and prepared to shoot it again with love and reason.
Suddenly, when everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, a sharp arrow shot over.
Gu Chengyu quickly flew down to resist, but unexpectedly it was too late.
This arrow had penetrated Zhi Lian's chest. Zhi Lian immediately let go of the treasure map in his hand, and a corner of the treasure map was immediately lit.
At this moment, everyone no longer cared about whether Zhi Lian was dead or who shot the arrow. They all swarmed forward, preparing to snatch the treasure map.
Seeing this, Gu Chengyu quickly drew out the soft sword from his waist to resist the attacks of others.
The Qu Mansion has become a mess, and no one cares about the identity of the other person or how he entered the Qu Mansion.
They only know how to fight and attack those who have the same purpose as themselves with the sword in their hands.
Gu Chengyu turned around and stamped out the lantern. Just as he was about to bend down to pick it up, a sword swept over him, stopping his movement.
As soon as Lu Chen saw Ruanjian, he knew that the companion who had rescued him earlier was here, and he felt happy.
He hurriedly rushed behind Gu Chengyu, preparing to let Gu Chengyu take cover in front of him to pick up the treasure map on the ground.
Gu Chengyu secretly scolded Lu Chen for being shameless, why should he make wedding clothes for others?
It was to save Lu Chen before, but this time he had no intention of giving away the credit to others.
A kick came over. Although Lu Chen was on guard, he was still kicked firmly in the waist.
The wound that had been bandaged before was cracked by this kick, and Lu Chen groaned in pain.
He was a little confused at this moment. What did this guy mean?
Isn't this person the one sent to help him? Why did he go to pick up the treasure map, but this person took action against him?
Does he want to take all the credit? That's not right! He didn't see the other party grabbing half of the treasure map before.
Aren't they the same person? Lu Chen carefully observed Gu Chengyu's movements and found that the martial arts moves were very similar.
Regardless of the 10,000 question marks in Lu Chen's mind, there were so many people coming one after another that Gu Chengyu could only muster 120,000 energy to resist.
Looking past Zhi Lian who was pierced by an arrow, he was surprised to find that the other party was not dead yet.
At this moment, he fell to the ground, with a lot of blood flowing from his chest, but he was still breathing weakly.
Those people were naturally too lazy to pay attention to a little pawn, so Zhi Lian escaped unharmed by lying on the ground.
Ming Yan and Ming Mo were originally watching, but they were so familiar with Gu Chengyu that they had already guessed his identity.
Ming Yan moved closer to Gu Chengyu while fighting, blocking many attacks from his master.
In order not to arouse Lu Chen's suspicion, Ming Mo did not approach, but fought in and out.
Because of Ming Yan's participation, Gu Chengyu was able to take a breather.
He picked up the remains of the lantern with his sword, revealing a corner of yellow underneath.
After just one glance, Gu Chengyu's heart suddenly sank.
It’s over! It’s really over!
Gu Chengyu didn't have time to think too much at the moment. He picked up the treasure map on the ground and put it in his arms.
Shaking the soft sword, he made a big killing move and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Quick! The treasure map has been taken away!" Liao Cheng jumped on his feet and pushed the guards around him, trying to get them to catch up.
It's a pity that Gu Chengyu's Qinggong was outstanding, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Someone immediately chased after them, and most of the crowd that had been scuffled just now had already left with cheers.
The people behind Liao Cheng also chased in that direction without waiting for his orders.
Qu Huaiyun's legs were sore and weak, and he felt that the situation was over. The treasure map was robbed, and Liao Cheng also fell out with him. The Qu family was really in trouble.
He quickly glanced at Liao Cheng and saw that Liao Cheng did not focus on him.
He retreated backwards and prepared to run to the study. He had to write a letter to his eldest son to find out what was going on.
"Clan Leader Qu, you are more exposed at night, where are you going?" Liao Cheng raised the corners of his mouth and sneered with his eyes.
The master sent by his master has already gone after the treasure map, so he is not worried.
But he has completely offended Mr. Qu this time, so this time he will definitely be unable to stand up.
Who makes Qu Youen so ignorant? It is his blessing that the master likes him, but he dares to refuse?
"Liao Cheng, do you really want to turn your back on me? After all, my son is an official in the same court as you. You framed me like this and you are not afraid that my son will testify against you in front of the emperor?"
In fact, Qu Huaiyun already had a bad premonition in his heart. Could it be that something happened to his eldest son? Otherwise, Liao Cheng would not be so blatant.
"Haha! Patriarch Qu, are you setting up false accusations? When you and I go to the Yamen, you can see whatever evidence you want to see."
Liao Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed. This song Huaiyun is such that he can't even see the coffin without crying!
"Hmph! Even so, you can't escape the involvement. You have received so many benefits from the Qu family, how could I not keep evidence of your crime?"
Qu Huaiyun had already broken up with Liao Cheng. In order to save his life, he had to show his trump card.
"Clan Leader Qu! You are really hopelessly stupid! Who will believe you in those so-called evidences of your crimes? Your supervisor Qiu of the outer courtyard understands justice! He has already handed over all these things in full.
Give it to me, he knows more about things than you do."
Liao Cheng smiled contemptuously, saying that Patriarch Qu was smart, but he thought he was just a stupid pig.
Judging from the fact that he persuaded Qu Huaiyun to kidnap Yi Lanshan's grandson, Qu Huaiyun was not that smart.
Qu Huaiyun was confused by the benefits that had not yet been realized. He couldn't help but sigh, he was really blinded by power!
"What? Manager Qiu?" Qu Huaiyun looked shocked. He looked at Manager Qiu who had stood behind Liao Cheng at some point, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
When Manager Qiu saw Qu Huaiyun looking at him as if he wanted to eat him alive, his body couldn't help but tremble, and in the end he lowered his head without saying a word.
"Manager Qiu, tell me, sir, how do I treat you? You are also an old man in the house. I trust you so much, but you betrayed me and colluded with this dog official. Are you worthy of my trust in you?"
Qu Huaiyun's heartbroken look stung Manager Qiu's eyes, and his chest heaved violently.
"Hmph! The master is naturally good to the villain, but how did the villain's daughter die? The villain will never forget it in this life. Every time the villain falls asleep, he will dream of her crawling over with her face covered in blood, saying
She is so cold and hurts."
Manager Qiu clenched his fists, unable to calm down for a long time.
His daughter was beaten to death by the third young master of Qu Mansion.
He still can't forget the scene at that time. The whip struck his daughter's body, leaving pieces of flesh and blood.
It didn't take long for her body to become mutilated with blood and flesh, and her original beautiful and lovely appearance could not be clearly seen.
He begged the master, but the master didn’t care at all.13
