Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

The man in black was beaten back step by step, and was finally kicked away by Zhang Ling. He hit the wall and fainted.

Zhang Ling did not give up. He walked up to the man in black and pulled off his mask.

"It's you!" Zhang Ling exclaimed.

.................

The man in black turned out to be the housekeeper of the mansion, Wang Fu!

"Old thing, I didn't expect it to be you!" Zhang Ling said gritting his teeth.

Wang Fu slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhang Ling, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, it's me!" Wang Fu said, "I killed your father, and now I want to kill you too!"

"Why?" Zhang Ling asked, "Why do you do this?"

"Why?" Wang Fu sneered, "Because your father deserves to die! He took everything from me, I hate him!"

It turned out that Wang Fu was also a martial artist when he was young, and he was once a good friend of the general. Later, the general married Wang Fu's beloved woman, so Wang Fu bore a grudge and had been looking for an opportunity to take revenge.

"You old bastard!" Zhang Ling cursed, "My father treated you well, but you turned your kindness into enmity!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Wang Fu said, "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"

Zhang Ling looked at Wang Fu, his heart filled with anger and hatred.

He originally wanted to kill Wang Fu with a single blow, but then he thought that would be too easy for him.

"Xiao Tao, go call all the guards in the mansion!" Zhang Ling said to Xiao Tao who was hiding in the corner.

Xiaotao nodded and ran out quickly.

After a while, the guards from the mansion arrived.

"Tie him up for me!" Zhang Ling pointed at Wang Fu and said.

The guards rushed forward and tied Wang Fu up.

"Lock him up in the dungeon and keep him under strict guard!" Zhang Ling said, "No one is allowed to approach without my order!"

"Yes!" the guards answered in unison.

Zhang Ling did not feel relieved at all when he saw Wang Fu being taken away.

He knew this was just the beginning.

The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!

He must find out the truth of the matter, find out who is behind it, and avenge his father!

In the next few days, Zhang Ling dealt with the affairs of the mansion while secretly investigating the truth behind his father's murder.

He discovered that his father's death was not a simple revenge, but a bigger conspiracy seemed to be hidden behind it.

And this conspiracy seems to be related to the struggle in the court.

Zhang Ling realized that he was caught in a huge vortex.

He must be careful to survive in this vortex and complete his plan of revenge.

One night, Zhang Ling was reading in the study when he suddenly heard a slight noise outside the window.

He raised his head alertly and looked out the window.

I saw a dark shadow flash by and disappear into the night.

Zhang Ling was shocked and quickly got up and chased after him.

He chased the shadow to the back garden, only to find that the shadow had disappeared.

"Who is it?" Zhang Ling thought to himself, "Could it be Wang Fu's accomplice?"

He searched the back garden carefully but found nothing.

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly found a note on the ground.

He picked up the note and saw a few words written on it in the moonlight:

"Be careful, Xiaotao."

Zhang Ling was shocked, and a chill instantly spread throughout his body.

peach?

Is Xiaotao a spy?

He couldn't believe that the gentle and considerate Xiao Tao could actually be a spy sent by the enemy?

But he had to admit that the appearance of this note made him suspicious of Xiaotao.

He decided to observe Xiaotao secretly to see who she really was.

The next day, Zhang Ling pretended nothing had happened and continued to get along with Xiao Tao.

He found that Xiaotao didn't seem to be behaving abnormally.

But her every smile, every move made Zhang Ling feel something was wrong.

He felt that Xiaotao seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

This feeling made him more and more uneasy.

One night, Zhang Ling sneaked into Xiaotao's room, trying to find some clues.

He searched Xiaotao's room but found nothing.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly found a small box under Xiaotao's pillow.

He opened the box and saw a letter inside.

He took out the letter, opened it, and his face turned pale instantly.

The letter reads:

"Everything is ready, we will act tomorrow."

The signature is:

"film".

Zhang Ling was shocked, he knew that "Shadow" was a mysterious killer organization.

And this letter undoubtedly proves that Xiaotao is a member of "Shadow".

He finally understood that Xiaotao approached him just to assassinate him!

He held the letter tightly, his heart filled with anger and a feeling of betrayal.

He didn't expect that he would be deceived by someone he trusted.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, put the letter back into the box, and then quietly left Xiaotao's room.

He returned to his room and stayed awake all night.

He didn't know how to face Xiaotao.

He didn't know how to deal with this.

……

Zhang Ling felt a sharp pain in his back, and a chill instantly spread throughout his body. He suddenly lunged forward and barely avoided the fatal blow from the man in black.

The dagger stabbed into the air, and the man in black was obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect Zhang Ling to react so quickly. He quickly pulled back the dagger and stabbed Zhang Ling again.

Zhang Ling rolled on the ground several times to avoid the attack of the man in black, then quickly stood up and took a defensive posture.

"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" Zhang Ling roared.

The man in black did not answer, but just sneered and continued to attack Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling was filled with grief and anger at this time. His father had just passed away, and he was assassinated, which filled his heart with the flame of hatred. He no longer dodged, but took the initiative to meet the man in black and started a fierce fight.

Xiaotao screamed in fear and hid in the corner, trembling.

Although Zhang Ling's martial arts skills improved rapidly, he lacked practical experience and soon fell behind. The black-clothed man's moves were fierce and tricky, and each move was deadly.

"Go to hell!" the man in black roared and stabbed Zhang Ling's chest with a dagger.

At the critical moment, Zhang Ling suddenly turned sideways, and the dagger grazed his ribs, and blood gushed out instantly.

Zhang Ling groaned, staggered a few steps and almost fell.

The man in black took advantage of the situation and pounced on him again.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door and kicked the man in black away.

The man who came was the martial artist in the mansion, named Li Hu.

"How dare you, the bold assassin, commit a crime in the general's mansion!" Li Hu roared.

The man in black got up from the ground, glared at Li Hu fiercely, then turned and ran away.

“Where are you running to!” Li Hu chased after him.

Zhang Ling covered his wound, sat on the ground weakly, his face pale.

Xiao Tao hurried over, supported Zhang Ling, and asked anxiously, "Sir, are you okay?"

Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just a little injured."

Xiaotao took out a handkerchief and bandaged Zhang Ling's wound, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Young Master, you must take care of yourself." Xiao Tao choked.

Zhang Ling looked at Xiao Tao, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. In this cold world, there were still people who cared about him, which made him feel a little comforted.

"Thank you, Xiaotao." Zhang Ling said.

Xiao Tao wiped her tears and said, "Sir, please don't say that. This is what I should do."

Li Hu came back soon, carrying the body of the man in black in his hand.

"Young master, the assassin has been killed by me." Li Hu said.

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Li Hu."

Li Hu threw the body of the man in black on the ground and said, "This assassin is very skilled in martial arts. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been in danger."

Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "The identity of this assassin is unknown. We must find out his origins as soon as possible and why he wanted to assassinate my father and me."

Li Hu nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will go investigate right away."

Zhang Ling looked at the body of the man in black, his eyes full of doubts. Who sent this man in black? What was his purpose?

It's all a mystery.

In the next few days, Zhang Ling was recovering from his injuries while also secretly investigating the identity of the man in black.

Xiao Tao took care of Zhang Ling all the time, bringing him tea and water and asking about his well-being.

Zhang Ling gradually discovered that he had developed a special feeling for Xiaotao.

Xiao Tao is gentle, considerate, kind and innocent, which makes him feel extremely warm and comfortable.

One night, Zhang Ling lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Xiao Tao walked in and saw that Zhang Ling was still awake, so she asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Ling sighed and said, "I'm fine, I just can't sleep."

Xiao Tao walked to the bedside, gently stroked Zhang Ling's forehead, and said softly: "Sir, are you still worried about the master's affairs?"

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "I must avenge my father, but I don't have any clues now. I feel uneasy."

Xiao Tao held Zhang Ling in her arms and comforted him, "Sir, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Zhang Ling felt Xiao Tao's warmth and his heart gradually calmed down.

He looked at Xiaotao, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Xiao Tao..." Zhang Ling said softly.

"Hmm?" Xiao Tao raised her head and looked at Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling took a deep breath and said, "I like you."

Xiao Tao was stunned, a blush appearing on her face.

"Young Master..." Xiao Tao said softly.

Zhang Ling hugged Xiao Tao into his arms and kissed her lips...

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

somebody is coming!

Zhang Ling and Xiao Tao quickly separated and looked towards the door nervously...

The man in black appeared like a ghost, with a dagger pointed at Zhang Ling's back. At the critical moment, Zhang Ling seemed to have a premonition and suddenly jumped forward, barely avoiding the fatal blow. He rolled on the ground in a mess, and quickly stood up, staring at the man in black with his eyes wide open.

Xiao Tao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She screamed and hid in a corner, trembling.

"Who sent you here!" Zhang Ling asked through gritted teeth, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

The man in black didn't answer, but sneered and attacked again with his dagger. Although Zhang Ling was heartbroken, his instinct from years of martial arts training allowed him to react quickly and dodge the attack of the man in black. At the same time, he picked up a chair next to him and smashed it hard at the man in black.

The man in black dodged nimbly, and the chair smashed against the wall and broke into pieces.

"You are quite capable." The man in black said with contempt, "Unfortunately, you must die today!"

After that, the man in black moved like lightning and attacked Zhang Ling again. The two fought back and forth in the room, launching a fierce fight. Although Zhang Ling's martial arts skills improved rapidly, the man in black was obviously also a master, and his moves were fierce and hit the vital points directly.
