Chapter 345: House Raid (Only one chapter today)
After Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong had breakfast, the sun was already rising outside.

After a night, the whole city was still decorated with lights and full of joy.

The Xiao brothers from Broken Sword Villa went to a banquet yesterday and returned at night, but they still got up early during the day.

The two brothers had just finished washing up and came to the lobby on the second floor of the restaurant. When they were about to order a table of food as usual, Xiao Wanren's ears suddenly twitched. He immediately walked quickly to the window and looked out, and was immediately stunned.

Xiao Qianfeng was also stunned for a moment, and quickly walked to the window, asking as he walked: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wanren came back to his senses, his face solemn, but he didn't say anything. He just pointed out the window and let the other person see for himself.

Xiao Qianfeng also immediately looked out the window and saw that there were very few pedestrians on the street. Most of them were teams of fierce-looking black-armored soldiers walking with knives and swords in hand.

This scene made him look stunned, and he blurted out in astonishment: "This is Jiangnan Guard, what are they going to do?"

Xiao Wanren said solemnly, "I don't know, but I think someone in the city is going to be in trouble."

Fang Xun acted quickly. As a newlywed, he did not spend too much time with Yu Jiaolong after breakfast, and simply gathered his troops and set off.

This time, not only the Wen family was to be raided, but some wealthy families in the city were also facing the threat of having their property confiscated and their families exterminated.

There are not many official members of Sanyuetang in Jianye City, but there are still some, of course not just the Wen family.

"My fellow soldiers, this is a misunderstanding! My Zhang family has always been honest and upright, how could we have the intention of rebellion?"

In a certain mansion, the head of the family, who was over a hundred years old and had gray hair, encountered a group of murderous Jiangnan guards breaking into the mansion early in the morning. He couldn't help but turn pale.

"Master Zhang, don't worry. Our Highness will not wrongly accuse a good person, but he will not let any traitor go!"

The captain who led the troops grinned and said, "It's just that you, the third son of the Zhang family, are a member of the Black Water Abyss Sanyue Hall. It doesn't seem like you are doing your duty to have such a rebellious person in the Zhang family."

In an instant, Master Zhang's face turned pale, and he looked at his third brother beside him with grief and anger. He saw that the other party's face was extremely frightened. He didn't even need to ask, it was obvious that there was a problem.

"Capture them. Remember to keep the other servants alive as much as possible. Lingzhou is flooded and we need people to open up the wasteland first!"

The captain didn't want to say more and immediately waved his hand, and all the soldiers drew their swords and attacked.

"Third brother, you are the sinner of the Zhang family, fight them!"

Zhang's face was filled with grief and anger, but he did not hesitate to lead his clansmen in a desperate resistance.

Although only the third son of his family committed the crime, treason is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the family, and Mr. Zhang would not expect the rest of the family to be free from involvement.

In an instant, the two sides were engaged in a battle, and the shouts of killing were deafening in the mansion. However, this group of people from the Zhang family who had gathered hastily were no match for the elite troops of the Jiangnan Guards.

In the Jiangnan Guards, the soldiers are all at the Tongmai Realm. When more than twenty people form a battle formation, they can even deal with the Kaiqiao Realm a little.

The Jiangnan guards cooperated well with each other and easily dispersed and divided the mob on the opposite side.

If the superior had not ordered to capture as many people as possible alive, a single charge in formation would have killed 60% of the enemy.

However, the Zhang family did not hold on for a moment. The ground was filled with people groaning in pain, and blood was all over the ground.

The captain in the Enlightenment Realm, his three adjutants, and dozens of elite guards were besieging Master Zhang. It did not take much effort to capture Master Zhang, who was also in the Enlightenment Realm.

"Oh, you still want to resist!"

The captain sneered. They were government troops and could fight openly. They could wear and use weapons such as the powerful crossbow and the fine steel armor that were listed as banned by the common people at will.

As for the Zhang family’s servants and guards, they had to cover up their appearance even when wearing leather armor, and their strength varied greatly. Xiantian Tongmai could tell their numbers at a glance. How could they possibly be their opponents?

"Sir, we have discovered a secret vault that contains a large number of powerful crossbows and armor!"

"Okay, hiding a crossbow and armor is a heavier crime!"

The captain shuddered, his eyes lit up.

The wealthy families in the private sector usually hide some contraband. If the quantity is small and they are not used in public, the court will turn a blind eye to it. However, in this situation, the Zhang family members lying on the ground only have despair in their eyes.

In addition to the Zhang family, the same thing was happening in more than twenty places in Jianye City, including trading companies, escort agencies, and wealthy families.

As soon as the Jiangnan Guards arrived, they easily dealt with the resisting personnel, and in the end only the Wen Mansion was left.

"What? Jiangnan Guards mobilized a large force to capture members of Black Water Abyss, and the ones they captured were all from wealthy families in the city?!"

Inside the Wen residence, Song Anwen stood up in shock.

Nearly a thousand Jiangnan guards from the Yue Palace and several Yinshen masters were mobilized in a large-scale operation. Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong certainly did not think of hiding such a big movement from others.

Soon the news reached the Wen Mansion.

Song Anwen paced back and forth in the room and quickly reacted.

"To dare to make such a big fuss, they must have confirmed the names of these Sanyuetang members. Even if there is no hard evidence for the time being, we can easily find evidence by arresting them first!"

He was seen pacing back and forth in the room, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.

"A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. While the Prince of Yue's mansion is temporarily busy with the seizure of property, I'd better take my fellow apprentices and leave Jianye as soon as possible."

Although he showed no fear on the surface, he was actually afraid in his heart that the Prince of Yue's Palace would really send an expert to kill him, and he would have no place to complain if he died.

Just at this moment, Wen Ruhui walked into the room hurriedly, and spoke after seeing him.

"Nephew Song, the city is in a state of panic right now. You should leave as soon as possible while the King of Yue is distracted."

Song Anwen nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wen, for taking care of me these days."

Wen Ruhui waved his hand and said, "Why are you being so polite? Your teacher and I are close friends, and you call me uncle."

Song Anwen said solemnly: "I can leave, but I am afraid that the King of Yue will be angry and implicate you, my uncle."

Wen Ruhui snorted coldly and said, "Even if she is the King of Yue, she still has to follow the rules. If the old prince was still alive, I would still respect him, but a yellow-haired girl."

"What a yellow-haired girl."

At this moment, a voice suddenly floated into the room like a breeze, making the two of them look grim.

ding ding-

Along with the incessant sound of scales rubbing against each other, a burst of dense footsteps came from afar, as if they had surrounded them.

"Who?!"

After a loud shout, Song Anwen and Wen Ruhui looked at each other and walked out quickly.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw that in the courtyard, a group of black-armored Jiangnan guards had surrounded the attic where they were.

Suddenly, the world in front of their eyes began to fade, and black and white were rapidly spreading in front of them.

On the ground, members of the Wen family, guests in the mansion, servants, and maids were lying all over the place, all of them were unharmed.

Wen Ruhui and Song Anwen's faces changed drastically. Hundreds of Jiangnan guards broke into the mansion. It was not until now when they surrounded the two of them that they realized that there was an enemy invading. A chill rose in their hearts.

Only after realizing that the person on the ground was just unconscious and still alive did Wen Ruhui breathe a sigh of relief.

Before they could speak, Fang Xun, who was standing in front of the Jiangnan Guards, spoke calmly.

"Zhao Ning is a yellow-haired girl, and I am just a young boy. Master Wen, let me, a young boy, take your life today!"

As soon as the words fell, the last bit of color in the world before their eyes finally faded away.

For a moment, the sky and the earth lost their color, and everything was black and white!
