Chapter 49 Night Ambush
oad intersection."Huh Everyone, look! Isn't that our target""Indeed, it was that deceased eunuch!""Why is he the only one here Where are our people""Forget it, since he dares to come over, we'll make..."Must we make them fight to the death"
After Cai Ning left, Mu Yinghua noticed a glimmer of pity in Zhang Liyang's eyes. The young girl's kind heart made her show compassion even towards her enemies.
"It's essential!" Zhang Liyang looked at Mu Yinghua seriously. "Your Highness, if you want to establish a new order that belongs to us in Feilong City, then the old order must be broken, it must be destroyed!"
"Within Flying Dragon City, these three families represent the old order!"
"If they don't die, it means there is a possibility of resurgence later on. It means our new order is at risk of collapsing!"
"The change of order always comes with bloodshed and sacrifice. If you want fewer sacrifices and less bloodshed in the future, you should kill the enemy as quickly as possible during battle!"
"Your Grace, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to ourselves!!"
Seeing Zhang Liyang say this so seriously, Mu Yinghua couldn't help but shrink her neck, "Oh, I understand."
"Does treating enemies mean killing them immediately"
Looking at Mu Yinghua clenching her fists, Zhang Liyang nodded confidently, "Yes!"
Here, Zhang Liyang is educating a potential future Empress. Outside, it seems to have calmed down.
All the members of Jia's family had retreated back from outside the city, and the Xue family did not burn down Jia's shops anymore. It seemed as if everything had returned to normal.
In the study, Xuebao's figure looked a little aged as he sat in contemplation.
In just a few days, Xue Baosheng felt like years had passed. Especially the death of Xue An dealt a heavy blow to Xue Baosheng.
"Master, all the people from the Jia family have left."
"Didn't a single one of them stay"
"Everyone left!"
Upon hearing the report from his housekeeper, Xue Bao sheng fell silent.
He knew the Jia family wouldn't suddenly back down, and this situation could only mean one of two things: either something major had happened to the Jia family, forcing them to retreat, or they were preparing a more powerful force. Pulling their punches back now was just to deliver an even heavier blow later.
Of the two possibilities, Xue Baosheng naturally leaned towards the latter. However, Xue Baosheng couldn't immediately figure out where Jia Family's greater power stemmed from.
Smack!
Xue Baosheng, who had been silent until now, suddenly slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his face turning very grim. "The Bai family! The Jia family has teamed up with the Bai family!"
Having been in constant conflict with the Jia family, and with the Bai family's non-interference, Xue Bao momentarily forgot about them, leaving himself vulnerable with a powerful enemy lurking nearby.
Bai Jia jumped out, Xue BaoSheng thought more and more surely, Jia family must have colluded with Bai family!
With two families teaming up against one, the Xue family naturally wouldn't be a match. Therefore, Xue Baosheng immediately ordered his steward to bring reinforcements from Xuelin Villa!
They banded together, but the Xue family wasn't without reinforcements either. Princess Huāqìng of Xuělín Estate was his strong ally.
With Princess Huqing, who represents the Great Qi Dynasty, present, the Xue family would absolutely never be destroyed!
"Master, it's not good!"
The butler, who had just gone out, suddenly rushed back, his face etched with alarm.
"What's wrong"
"We're trapped!"
"Huh What do you mean"
"The Jia family and the Bai family, at some point, surrounded our Xue family. Now, none of us in the Xue family can get out!"
"They dare!!"
Xue Baosheng heard the butler's words and was immediately furious. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.
The three major families in Fei Long City are all formidable and wicked. Since the Jia and Bai families have joined forces to encircle his Xue family, they must be planning to eradicate the Xue family!
"Go, protect the mistress and young master!"
"Have all the guards gather here!"
Xue Baosheng dashed toward the inner courtyard while issuing orders, a sharp battle sword clutched in his hand. Even though Xue Baosheng possessed no cultivation, he moved with purpose and determination.
Outside the Xue Mansion, a large crowd of people appeared, each holding gleaming blades. Although the evening chill made their bodies tremble, the surrounding murderous intent was several times colder than the wind.
On a tall building opposite the Xue family mansion, Jia Fengxian and Bai Wei were sitting there drinking tea. However, both of their eyes were looking down at the Xue family from a superior position.
"Master Bai, give the order!"
"Haha... we're just cooperating with you. Or should Master Jia give the order"
Looking at Bai Wei beside him, Jia Fengxian cursed under his breath and nodded to a guard beside him.
Upon receiving orders from his master, the guard took a rocket, bent his bow and shot it towards the gate of the Xue family!
Whoosh!
The rocket turned into a bright streak of light in the air and instantly embedded itself onto the gate of the Xue family mansion!
Outside Xue Mansion, everyone's eyes were fixed on the meteor, their gazes following its path as it finally stopped above the mansion's gate!
This is the signal to attack!
"Kill!"
Shouts echoed through the silent night, jolting residents of nearby manors from their slumber. They scrambled to gather their families and hide in secret rooms.
Bang!
At the forefront was a fifth-realm individual. With his immense strength, he smashed through the heavily built door with two or three punches!
The shattered remains of the gate lay scattered everywhere, and a look of delight spread across the face of the first person to enter.
Because Jia Fengxian had spoken before their attack, whoever could behead Xue Baosheng would be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver!
This is an enormous fortune for them, naturally driving them to madness!
The look of excitement on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by a pale one. Behind the Xue family gate stood rows upon rows of men armed with crossbows.
"Shoot them!"
A hail of arrows poured forth, raining down upon the advancing throng!
Ah~
Suddenly, a large number of people cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground. The ground was immediately stained with a lot of blood flowing!
"Crossbow!"
On the attic floor, Jia Fengxian and Bai Wei simultaneously changed color. They never expected that the Xue family would actually hide such a forbidden weapon!
Whether it was the Great Qin Dynasty or the previous period of chaos, bows and crossbows were strictly prohibited from appearing in the Jianghu (wulin). Once discovered, they would be immediately dealt with as rebellion.
Therefore, in the Jianghu (martial arts world), bows and crossbows are rarely seen. A large-scale arsenal of bows and crossbows like the Xue family's is extremely uncommon!
They had thought that the Xue family had the power to resist, but they didn't expect that the Xue family's strength lay in a large number of bows and crossbows!
They can't withdraw now, they have no choice but to sacrifice lives.
"I don't believe that the Xue family's arrows are endless!"
Jia Fengxian slammed his fist on the table and then addressed his guards, "Spread the word: whoever beheads Xue Baosheng will be rewarded with 300,000 taels of silver! And for every head of a member of the Xue family, I will reward 10,000 taels of silver!"
To completely wipe out the Xue family, Jia Fengxian has gone all out! Realm, can one allow the celestial qi within their body to leave it and thus wield sword qi!A sense of extreme danger washed over him, Zhang Liyang's Earthly Steps pushed to their limits, dodging the...
