Moonlight and wind

"What happened over there? Why are there so many people gathered here?" The servant who was guarding the gate on the porch of Hanlin Mansion asked curiously while looking at the crowd across the street.

"You watch here, I'll go take a look." Another servant could no longer contain his curiosity, so he ran out first and came back after a while.

"What's going on?" "Our young master is asking for someone in front of someone else's house!" said the servant, panting.

"Who do you want?" "I didn't hear everything. I heard from those who were watching the fun that the house was Young Master Shan's. Our young master said that Young Master Shan hid our young lady in his house. He is blocking the door and asking for help."

"Should we inform the master?" "Don't worry," the servant sat down in front of the porch, "I think a fight is about to start, let the young master get beaten first!"

"Come on, if you want to get in, you have to get past me first." Jian Yun still held the sword in front of his chest with both hands, and looked at the two skinny young men and the four stupid and burly men with a slight sneer, "Are you coming one by one, or all at once?"

"What are you waiting for! Come on!" Qu Ning raised the wooden stick in his hand, giving a signal to attack. Four burly men roared and rushed towards Jian Yun.

Jian Yun was not panicked at all. He watched the big men getting closer and closer. When the big man's stick appeared beside his ear and the wind brought by the stick swept his hair, Jian Yun flashed like a ray of light, jumped behind the big man, grasped the unsheathed big knife in one hand, turned around, and hit the big knife on the big man's head with such force that the big man staggered forward and almost kneeled on the steps in front of the door!

Feeling humiliated, the big men turned around and rushed towards Jian Yun again with a roar. Jian Yun carried the big knife on his shoulder, which made the big men alert. Suddenly, they stopped attacking and four big men surrounded him.

"Yes, that's it, surround him and don't let him run away!" Qu Ning jumped up and shouted from behind.

"It's so noisy!" Jian Yun frowned, "Can we just fight quietly?" Jian Yun tilted his head, and the murderous look in the corner of his eyes made Qu Ning shut his mouth instantly. He held the stick in both hands and placed it in front of him.

"Ah!" The four big men raised the sticks in their hands at the same time and swung them towards Jianyun's head. Jianyun raised his sword to block the four sticks.

He fought against the strength of four burly men alone. The burly men used all their strength and their faces turned red. Although Jian Yun seemed to be struggling more than before, he still had a sneer on his face.

Suddenly, Jian Yun's eyes became sharp, and the arm holding the knife became visibly stronger, with protruding muscles and bulging veins, and white mist looming around the arm.

"Is that all you have?" After saying that, Jian Yun raised his arms and pushed the four big men away, causing them to fall down in all directions.

Seeing that the four big men had lost their power, Xuning and Zhu Shao planned to sneak away. Just as they turned around to run, Jian Yun suddenly appeared in front of them.

"We haven't found the person yet." Jian Yun put away his sword, and with his hands like iron pliers, he grabbed the collars of the two men and lifted them up into the air. "Why are you leaving?"

After saying that, he turned around and threw the two of them heavily onto the stone steps in front of the house.

"Ouch!" Qu Ning got up from the ground in pain and shouted at the grinning Zhu Shao: "Where did you find these four idiots? How come you can't beat anyone!"

"We're at the door, let's go in and look for it!" Jian Yun crossed his arms over his chest, the sneer on his face becoming more obvious.

"That's what you said!" Xuning came to the door, pressed his hands on it, and when he was about to push the door open, Jianyun grabbed his hair and slammed it twice.

"Ouch!" Qu Ning squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, "Didn't you let me in?" He touched the big bump on his forehead that was quickly swelling up and trembled with anger.

"Son, stop messing around!" a voice came from behind. "Father!" Seeing the person talking in the crowd, Qu Ning crawled to Qu Hanlin, sat at his feet, hugged his legs, and cried while complaining.

The people who were watching the fun came to the door of Hanlin Mansion to chat. When the servant learned that Qu Ning had been beaten badly, he ran in to inform the master. Qu Hanlin hurried to the opposite side and saw his son being pressed against the door and beaten by Jianyun.

"My dear young man, I apologize for my offense. I hope you will show mercy and forgive him this time." Qu Hanlin clasped his fists and bowed.

"It turned out to be Lord Qu!" Jian Yun clasped his fists and saluted. "This young man came to our house today to cause trouble for no reason, and insisted that Miss Qu was hiding in our house. Isn't this ruining the reputation of our young master and young master?"

"Yes, yes, it's my fault for not disciplining my child well."

"How about," Jian Yun pushed open the door, "Lord Qu, come in and take a look to see if there is Miss Qu hiding in the mansion, so as to clear the names of my young master and young master." Jian Yun had already made a gesture to invite him in.

"Father, I'll go search!" Qu Ning stood up and was about to step in when Qu Hanlin slapped him hard on the back of his head, "Idiot! Get back here now!" As he spoke, several servants behind Qu Hanlin came forward, carried Qu Ning and walked towards the Hanlin Mansion.

"Excuse me, young man. Sorry for disturbing you!" After saying that, he returned to the Hanlin Mansion. "What's the matter?" Jianyun suddenly looked at Zhu Shao, "How about you go in and take a look?" The four big men quickly pulled Zhu Shao and ran away.

"Father!" Qu Ning was still arguing, "My sister must be in that mansion!"

"Shut up!" Qu Hanlin was visibly angry. "Do you have any evidence? Or is it just your guess?" This question made Qu Ning suddenly shut up.

"You dare to cause trouble at someone's house without any evidence?" The more he spoke, the angrier he became. "It would be fine if it was just an ordinary family, but you had to mess with Young Master Shan! Even your father, me, has to be wary of him!"

"What's so great about a martial artist?" Qu Ning was still unconvinced.

"Martial arts?" Qu Hanlin also sneered, "Then show me how you perform! Why did I give birth to two useless things like you!" Qu Hanlin came to the hall and sat down. The servant brought him tea. He took a sip of the hot tea and felt a little better.

"Master Shan, do you think he is just a martial arts master? Let's not talk about the power behind him. It is the number one sect in Wu Country. He may be the next leader in the future! What's more, he broke into the Hanlin Mansion at night a few days ago, and the Emperor Wu came out to rescue him. What does this mean?"

"What does it mean?"

Seeing his son's foolishness, Hanlin Que became angry again, "It shows that he is a person that Emperor Wu values ​​very much. He might become an official in the future. Is that someone you and I can mess with?"

"But, was my sister really hidden by him? The two of them knew each other, and it was that Young Master Shan who escorted my sister back to Wudu, but he disappeared. It must be related to him in some way!"

"It's not like I haven't thought about these things, but there are some things that it's not convenient for me to come forward."

"I understand! Don't worry, father. Leave this to Ning'er," Ning said, patting his chest. "I will stand guard at the gate of the mansion day and night. I don't believe that my sister will never leave the house in her lifetime!"
