At dawn the next day, in a dilapidated temple in the southern suburbs of Yecheng.
The dilapidated temple had been surrounded by the guards from Murong Mansion that Jiang Xiao had brought with him overnight. Countless pairs of sinister eyes were staring at the temple murderously.
All the people in the ruined temple, except Luo Ying, were killed without mercy.
This was the order Murong Wentianxia gave when Jiang Xiao left Murong Mansion.
Murong Wentian's ambition and scheming were once again fully exposed in the capture of Luo Ying.
Murong Wentian had been plotting for the Luo family's mysterious treasure for an unknown period of time, and he had been hiding it very carefully.
In fact, Murong Wentian didn’t know what kind of magical treasures were hidden in the Luo family’s mysterious treasure, but after years of inquiries, he learned that in the Luo family’s magical treasure, there was an ancient armor called Golden Armor. It is said that with the ancient armor, one can unify the three heavens of the Xuanwu Continent, and control the entire Xuanwu Jiuzhou with a shout.
That's why, when Jiang Xiao left, he repeatedly warned him not to hurt Luo Ying at all.
Because after so many days of hard searching, he got a clue about the location of the Luo family's treasure. As long as he got the white jade key, he could use the spiritual power of the white jade key to sense the exact location of the treasure. Moreover, the white jade key was also the only key that could open the door to the treasure.
However, the ambitious Murong Wentian did not tell Jiang Xiao about the white jade key and the Luo family treasure, because he was not only ambitious but also very suspicious.
Jiang Xiao quietly stood guard outside the ruined temple, wondering in his heart why his master Murong Wentian killed all the members of the Luo family but did not hurt Luo Ying at all.
Moreover, he also instructed Jiang Xiao not to reveal the news of finding Luo Ying to the people in Tiger City.
The tone and expression of Murong Wentian's voice seemed to indirectly tell Jiang Xiao that Luo Ying must be hiding a secret of great significance.
But what could this secret be
Jiang Xiao glanced around the ruined temple and sighed. He was unable to guess his master's intention and his eyes were fixed on the ruined temple.
Jiang Xiao, who was always cautious in his actions, didn't know that at this moment, behind him, several men in black were hiding in the dark, watching them just like they were watching Luo Ying in the ruined temple.
Jiang Xiao had no idea about the men in black hiding behind him, and even Murong Wentian could not have imagined that the group of men in black were actually the people from Tiger City that they were worried about.
"General! What should we do? Should we capture the people from Murong Mansion?" The speaker was a blue-armored soldier from Menghu City.
The general the blue-armored soldier was talking about was none other than General Lan Qing of Menghu City.
Lan Qing shook his head at the blue-armored soldier and said, "The king has ordered that when both of them are defeated, we will sit back and reap the benefits!"
The blue-armored soldier who spoke was not an ordinary soldier of Tiger City. He was Lan Qing's apprentice Jiang Yun, so he dared to ask Lan Qing questions. Moreover, there has never been a concept of master in the Tiger City army, so Jiang Yun did not call Lan Qing master, but general.
"General, why doesn't the king take people to seal up the Murong Mansion instead of making such a big fuss?" Jiang Yun said.
"Jiang Yun, do you know how to catch a thief and seize the stolen goods?" Lan Qing said.
"General, I understand. The king wants us to capture them and then seal up Murong Mansion!" Jiang Yun said.
When Lan Qing heard Jiang Yun mention Feng Murong Hu several times in a row, he said with a serious face: "Jiang Yun, you can't say such things carelessly. Do you know the relationship between Murong Wentian and the king? He is the adoptive father of our king and princess!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yun was shocked and said, "So that's how it is. By the way, General, does the Luo family really have a treasure?"
Just when Jiang Yun was asking about the Luo family's treasure, the door of the dilapidated temple was opened with a creaking sound.
In a moment, Luo Ying was the first to walk out of the ruined temple, followed by Luo Hui and the remaining dozen or so Luo family guards.
When Luo Ying just walked out of the ruined temple, he looked around vigilantly with a frightened look in his eyes, and said: "Luo Hui, why do I suddenly feel an ominous sign, as if someone is watching us in the dark!"
After hearing what Luo Ying said, Luo Hui also looked around vigilantly. Yes, at this moment when it was about to get bright, he suddenly felt a strong murderous aura pervading the air.
Luo Hui looked around carefully and suddenly saw that the layer of black cloth that was originally tied on the fence wall on the left side of the ruined temple had completely disappeared.
Seeing this, a sense of danger surged in Luo Hui's heart. He shouted, "Miss, this is not good! We are being watched. Let's go, Miss, it's dangerous!"
Just as Luo Hui finished speaking, the sky brightened and a loud roar was suddenly heard.
"kill!"
After the word "kill" was uttered, Jiang Xiao had already led all the Murong guards who were besieging the ruined temple and appeared in front of Luo Ying. Dozens of gloomy eyes filled with murderous intent blocked their way.
"It's someone from the Murong Mansion. Protect the young lady and take her out!" Luo Hui saw who was coming and shouted loudly to the Luo family guards around him.
"Luo Hui, I won't leave. I can't leave you behind!" Luo Ying shouted loudly.
Because after the Luo family was destroyed in the past few days, Luo Ying felt deeply that the Luo family guards, led by Luo Hui, had always been loyal to her. She was deeply moved by their sense of righteousness, so she was unwilling to leave first.
"What are you still standing there for? Take the young lady and charge out. I'll cover them!" Luo Hui shouted again to the guards behind him.
Just after Luo Hui yelled, Jiang Xiao raised his right hand with a sinister look on his face and said murderously: "Today, none of you can leave! Kill!"
As soon as Jiang Xiao finished speaking, dozens of guards from Murong Mansion attacked Luo Ying and his men.
In the blink of an eye, a fierce battle began.
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
The sounds of fists and feet, and the collision of palms continued to be heard outside the ruined temple.
This was not a one-on-one fierce battle, but a melee and a chaotic battle.
There is no fixed rule among them who will fight with whom. They just fight whoever they see as an opponent, and after defeating them, they fight another person.
The fight had been going on for a while. Although more than a dozen Luo family guards fought bravely, they were eventually at a disadvantage due to the disparity in strength.
The Luo family has only twelve people, but the Murong Mansion has more than forty guards, which is a ratio of three to one.
Bang bang bang!
The guards of the Luo family were repeatedly hit and defeated by the guards of the Murong Mansion. Moreover, these Murong guards with gloomy faces did not stop when they knocked the guards of the Luo family to the ground. Instead, they rushed up and killed them mercilessly.
Luo Hui saw his own guards being killed one after another by the guards of Murong Mansion. Facing the siege of five Murong Mansion guards, he shouted angrily with a face full of anger: "You murderous demons, I will kill you, kill you..."
At the moment when Luo Hui was extremely angry, although he killed several guards of Murong Mansion, he was outnumbered and was captured by the guards of Murong Mansion, trapping his body.
At the same time, the remaining three Luo family guards were also injured, and were captured by the guards of Murong Mansion, unable to move.
Luo Ying, the only one who was still fighting against the guards of Murong Mansion, was also captured by the guards of Murong Mansion after Luo Hui and the three guards of the Luo family were captured, and was brought to Jiang Xiao.
Luo Ying remained calm and shouted at Jiang Xiao, "Jiang Xiao, where is Murong Wentian? Call him out. I want to see the face of this treacherous and despicable man!"
Just after Luo Ying finished speaking, Jiang Xiao reached out and slapped Luo Ying twice on the face, shouting, "Luo Ying, shut up! Don't you see who you are now? Are you still the eldest daughter of Yecheng?"
Seeing Jiang Xiao slap Luo Ying, Luo Hui, who was captured and unable to move, struggled and shouted angrily: "Jiang Xiao, stop it, stop it, you dare to hit the young lady! I will not let you go!"
After Luo Hui finished speaking, the three Luo family guards who were captured and unable to move also struggled and shouted loudly: "Jiang Xiao, let our eldest lady go, let our eldest lady go, otherwise we will never forgive you!"
Jiang Xiao walked up to the three captured guards, looked at them with disdain, and said, "Really? I won't let you off. You don't stand a chance!"
After he finished speaking, he made his move and in the blink of an eye he hit three guards who had no ability to fight back.
Bang bang bang!
Three guards were knocked away by Jiang Xiao, and there were three sounds of blood spurting out from the three guards.
Plop, plop, plop!
The three guards, with worried looks towards Luo Ying in their eyes, fell backwards to the ground and would never wake up again.
Seeing this scene, Luo Ying shouted angrily: "Jiang Xiao, stop it!"
When Luo Hui saw the three guards being killed by Jiang Xiao, tears welled up in the eyes of the seven-foot-tall man, and he silently wailed in his heart: "Brothers, Luo Hui is sorry for you!"
Luo Hui finished his words with tears in his eyes and shouted at Jiang Xiao: "Jiang Xiao, if you have the guts, let me go and we'll fight alone!"
"Hmph! A prisoner, you, Luo Hui, are not worthy of fighting alone!" After Jiang Xiao finished speaking, he struck Luo Hui on the forehead with another palm, and a pool of blood flowed out of Luo Hui's mouth.
"Luo Hui, Luo Hui..." Luo Ying cried out in pain and grief.
Blood continued to flow from Luo Hui's mouth. With his last breath before dying, he said weakly: "Miss, I'm sorry, Luo Hui can't protect you anymore..."
Luo Hui died before he could finish his words, still unable to let go of Luo Ying.
Seeing that Luo Hui was dead, Jiang Xiao took away the right palm that hit Luo Hui's forehead, and then kicked Luo Hui again, snorting coldly: "Bah, waste!"
Seeing Jiang Xiao still working on the dead Luo Hui, Luo Ying shouted angrily: "Jiang Xiao, kill me if you dare, or one day, I will kill you, a despicable villain, with my own hands!"
Looking at Luo Ying's hateful roar, Jiang Xiao turned around and looked at Luo Ying with a sly smile on his face, with his right palm, still stained with blood, pressed against Luo Ying's face.
Seeing Jiang Xiao's evil smile and his right hand moving around on his face, Luo Ying roared angrily: "Jiang Xiao, what are you doing? Take your dirty hands away, take your dirty hands away..."
Jiang Xiao had a treacherous look on his face. He deliberately put his head close to Luo Ying and said insidiously, "What a beauty!"
"Bah!" Luo Ying spat on Jiang Xiao's face.
Bang bang bang!
Jiang Xiao slapped Luo Ying twice more and shouted angrily at her, "If it weren't for Master, I would kill you right now!"
