Chapter 576: The Guo Mansion is Robbed
Cheng Ying's words immediately reminded Xiao Feng of the court officials who had been killed before.

However, the target of the assassination by the organization mentioned in the words was a gangster, but the other party did not come towards him that day, which made him very puzzled.

Logically speaking, if this was really done by people from the Northern Song Dynasty, then it was indeed an assassination of someone who intended to become a chess warrior of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is more logical.

After all, killing one or two court officials would have no effect on the situation at all. Only by killing those people in the underworld could he ensure that they would not become his enemies.

Then why didn't the assassin that day target himself, but instead assassinated the court officials?

It can't be because they are easier to kill, right?
Xiao Feng racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, so he just gave up thinking about it.

The group formed a team and continued on their journey, and soon arrived at Wangbei City.

However, they were a step too late. As soon as they arrived at Guo’s house, they learned that the mansion had been attacked by thieves the night before.

There were many bandits, each of them was very powerful and ruthless in their attacks, with no moral principles and they attacked together. Guo Jing was no match for so many masters and was seriously injured, his life was in danger.

If Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu, Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying had not been nearby and came to support in time, the Guo family would have been almost wiped out.

However, although Mr. and Mrs. Guo Huang saved their lives, their two children, who were only a few months old and still in their cradles, were abducted by the enemy and their whereabouts were unknown.

More than half a year ago, when Huang Rong held the Beggars' Sect conference in Guiyun Villa, she was already several months pregnant.

Until a few months ago, she finally gave birth successfully to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, in Wangbei City.

To commemorate the time spent defending the city, Guo Jing named his two children "Guo Wangbei" and "Guo Ping'an" respectively.

If you calculate the time, these two children were less than two months old when they were abducted by thieves and away from their parents. It can be said that they have a tragic fate.

Huang Rong could not bear the blow of losing her child, and coupled with the injury she suffered by thieves last night, she finally fell ill and has been in a coma ever since.

In fact, she had been very weak before and after giving birth because of the heavy work and busy defending the city. The root of her illness was secretly buried, and it just broke out now.

Fortunately, Wang Chongyang was present last night. He immediately used Xiantian Gong to perform some emergency treatment on the injuries of Guo and Huang. Otherwise, based on their conditions, they might not have survived more than a day.

Just to treat the injuries of the two people, Wang Chongyang's own internal strength was also depleted a lot, so after saving them, he chose to go into seclusion.

Since Mr. and Mrs. Guo Huang fell ill at the same time, all matters of the Guo family now had to be handled by Yang Guo.

After all, Guo Fu is a fool, with no martial arts skills and no reputation. Apart from venting her anger on the doctor, her only role is to take care of her parents by the bedside.

As for Xiaolongnu, it is already quite good that she can take care of herself.

The arrival of Xiao Feng and others at this moment is like a sweet rain in the desert and a charcoal fire in the cold winter; it comes at the right time.

Yang Guo hurriedly welcomed everyone into the mansion and explained the situation.

"I didn't expect that we would be a step late..."

Xiao Feng clenched his fists, secretly hated them, and asked again: "Brother Yang, you fought with the thieves last night, can you tell me their characteristics?"

Yang Guo recalled, nodded and said: "There are six thieves in total, among them there is a man with a strange hidden weapon, a swordsman with a scimitar, and a scholar with an iron umbrella..."

This appearance is so familiar!

Cheng Ying immediately reacted: "It's the ruthless scholar ''Iron Umbrella Scholar'' and 'One Knife A Thousand Miles'' that we met before!"

Xiao Feng nodded, signaling Yang Guo to continue, but when Yang Guo finished, he still couldn't identify the suspect, but it was not difficult to guess that the other party was also a master. Like this kind of Jianghu organization that specializes in assassination, the strength of the members is mostly on par with each other. Even if there are one or two special cases, they must have a skill that ordinary people don't have, otherwise they would have been killed by others long ago.

"The Beggars' Sect has disciples all over the world and they are well-informed. Have you asked them to go out and search?"

Yang Guo nodded and said, “Of course, I even sent a request for help to the ‘New Beggars’ Sect’ that recently reached a cooperation agreement with the Beggars’ Sect, but there has been no news so far.”

It's not that these two groups are not doing their job well, but the bandits attacked last night. After Yang Guo worked with Wang Chongyang and others to repel the bandits, he was busy rescuing people and giving orders. It has only been half a day since the order to find someone was passed down, so it is normal that no news has been sent back.

Seeing Yang Guo's anxious expression, Xiao Feng could only comfort him, "Those people took the two children away, they must be using them to threaten Brother Guo and his wife."

"If you think about it this way, maybe the two children will be safe for the time being..."

He is about to become a father, and he understands very well what a heavy blow it is for parents when their child is taken away by thieves.

But these words are just consolation after all, and everyone knows that they can't really let go.

Yang Guo said: “Although Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo are no longer in danger, it will take another month or so for their injuries to heal.”

"And during this time, they definitely didn't have the ability to look for the two children."

“Although there are many Beggars’ Sect disciples, most of them are not very strong. Even if we find someone, there is a risk of being discovered and killed. They may not be able to come back safely to inform us, so we can’t put all our hopes on them.”

At this point, Yang Guo looked at Xiao Feng and the others: "I originally planned to look for them myself, but I was worried that there was not enough manpower in the mansion. It would be terrible if the thief came back and harmed Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo."

“Fortunately, now we have Boss Xiao, Miss Cheng, and Miss Lu here. I hope that you will stay in the mansion for a while longer and help me take care of them, considering your past relationship with Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo. Yang Guo will be very grateful.”

They were all old friends, so there was no problem in helping to look after the child, but what worried them was that Yang Guo had decided to go out and look for the child.

Xiao Feng frowned upon hearing this and advised, "Those thieves are all experts in their own area. Besides, they have gone far away and their whereabouts are unknown. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for Brother Yang to find them. I think you should think twice before doing this."

Although this makes sense, Yang Guo has made up his mind at this time and is not willing to give up easily.
So he just shook his head and said, "No matter how difficult it is, I have to find him. Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo have treated me well. Now that their family is in trouble, I can't just sit there and watch!"

When the incident at Guiyanlin happened, Xiao Feng only thought that Yang Guo was a man of intense temperament, impulsive and reckless.

Now that I heard him say this, I realized that he is actually a good man who knows how to repay kindness and is chivalrous. My impression of him has changed drastically and my impression of him has increased rapidly.

"Those thieves are very powerful. Even if you are lucky enough to find someone, how can you save two children from them by yourself? Why don't you let me go with you?"

Yang Guo thought for a moment and said, “I will act together with my aunt to protect myself.”

"And just because a brute force attack fails doesn't mean we can't outsmart them. Those thieves may not always be together. We can just wait until they are alone and then defeat them one by one. We may have a chance of winning."

"Besides, if we all leave, who will protect Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo?"

At this time, Cheng Ying stepped forward and said, "Leave Master Guo and Senior Sister Huang to us to take care of them. As for the two children, I'll leave them to Brother Yang and Master Xiao."

"Also, my master and Senior Hong should be nearby. I'll try to notify them. They will definitely come back to help after receiving the news."

Hearing that Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong were also nearby, their expressions improved a little.

"Then I'll leave it to Miss Cheng."
