With such a big commotion caused by triggering the formation, no one showed up?

Where are the guards in this mansion?

A man came up to the leader and said, "Boss, the Chu family is cunning, so we should be careful."

"The emperor has issued a death order. The Chu family must be eliminated tonight." After the leader said this, he raised his hand and made a killing gesture.

The people behind immediately dispersed and headed towards the largest courtyards, among which were where the old Duke and Chu Wenzhao lived.

As soon as he entered the yard, he triggered the mechanism inside and screams rang out.

The leader stood there, frowning.

Soon some people came back, but most of them were missing, and they were all covered in bruises.

"Boss, we've been fooled. There's no one in this mansion."

"No one? How is that possible?" The leader didn't believe it. Their people were always watching the mansion and no one had gone out.

"Boss, let's retreat first!"

The leader looked at the three or four hundred men left and had to order them to retreat. But before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw torches lit up around him and every rooftop was filled with people.

The men in black looked horrified; they were surrounded.

"shoot!"

At Qin Tong's command, a rain of arrows came down like an overwhelming force.

"Retreat, retreat quickly..."

The leader blocked the arrows while shouting for people to retreat.

But they can no longer escape!

Because the people surrounding them are several times more than these killers.

After a wave of arrows, dozens of men in black fell down.

"Kill!" Qin Tong gave another order, and thousands of Longyin Guards flew down and killed these men in black.

Long Yinwei is indeed the most top-notch expert in the royal palace, with superb martial arts and profound internal strength.

After a while, these men in black were gradually defeated and fell one by one.

But the black-clad leader did have some real skills. The two Dragon Hidden Guards fought with him, but they couldn't take him down for a long time and they were even injured.

"Hmph! You do have some skills." Qin Tong drew his sword, and his figure flashed like a shadow as he went straight for the leader.

The leader sensed the murderous intent behind him, turned around and blocked it with a sword, only to feel his arms go numb.

I was shocked by what a powerful internal force he had.

Just as he was about to step back, he felt a pain in his chest and flew out.

"boom!"

The leader fell heavily to the ground.

"puff--"

He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Qin Tong in horror. This man's martial arts were so powerful that it was terrifying, but he was defeated after just two moves.

"Who are you?"

"Commander Long Yinling." Qin Tong let him know at whose hands he would die in the end.

"Dragon Hidden Guard, how is it possible..." The leader spat out another mouthful of blood.

After a while, all the men in black were killed by the Longyin Guards.

At this time, Chu Feiyan and Gong Beixuan came out.

Seeing them, the black-clothed leader was shocked, "Chu Feiyan? What's wrong with you... didn't you go out to fight?"

Chu Feiyan looked at him coldly, "You are the Dragon Hidden Guard that Emperor Cheng rebuilt? If I'm not mistaken, you are the leader of this Dragon Hidden Guard, right?"

"Hmph! It's just a fake!" Qin Tong snorted disdainfully.

"My lord, there is a totem of the Dragon Hidden Guard printed on the shoulder blades of these people." A Dragon Hidden Guard came to report.

Chu Feiyan looked at the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. It was still a month before the Chu family was massacred in the previous life. She thought that it was this group of people who did it.

In my previous life, I, my grandfather, and Zhao'er were all killed by these people!

Because in this life they made preparations in advance and made do with it, allowing Long Shihua to take action against the Weiguo Mansion in advance.

"Put the bodies of these people outside the mansion gate." Chu Feiyan ordered.

"Yes, sir!" Qin Tong accepted the order and waved his hand for someone to carry the body.

"As for him." Chu Feiyan's eyes fell on the black-clothed leader, "Take him with you. We will give a gift to his master tomorrow."

"Yes!" Two people came forward and took the person away.

At this time in the imperial palace, Long Shihua was pacing restlessly in his bedroom.

It was already three quarters past midnight, but the person I was waiting for still hadn't returned.

"They are all useless. A thousand people can't kill hundreds of guards in more than an hour. What's the point of having them here?"

A eunuch beside him said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, calm down. It is said that Gong Beixuan has set up a formation mechanism in the Duke of Weiguo's mansion. I am afraid it will not be so fast."

"Damn it!" Long Shihua was very upset. He felt that nothing he did was going well recently because of Chu Feiyan and Gong Beixuan.

Time passed little by little, and half an hour passed. It was already Yin time, but the person who was sent still had not returned.

Long Shihua finally felt that something was wrong.

But Chu Feiyan and Gong Beixuan had already left, and Chu Wenzhao and his several hundred guards were no match for his newly formed Dragon Hidden Guards.

"Eunuch Wu, go and see for yourself."

"As you wish." The eunuch hurried out.

Another three quarters of an hour passed, and the palace door was finally opened, and a man in black came in.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened." The man in black pulled down the mask on his face, and it was the eunuch.

"What's wrong?" Long Shihua felt uneasy.

"Everyone is dead!" The eunuch knelt down in front of him. "There was an ambush in the Duke of Wei's mansion. Our people were killed after they entered. The bodies were carried outside the mansion. No one was left alive..."

"What?" Long Shihua felt dizzy and grabbed the eunuch's collar with both hands. "How could the Chu family have such a strong master? Chu Wenzhao?"

The eunuch shook his head, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not get too close. I don't know."

"The Chu family is so despicable!" Long Shihua gritted his teeth in hatred. Those were the people he had carefully selected, the best of the best, and they were gone just like that?

He sat back down and rubbed his swollen temples.

He couldn't even get rid of the Chu family. If Chu Feiyan got the news, she would definitely take revenge on him.

"Go find someone from the Qingjian Sect and ask him to tell Situ Feng that as long as Chu Feiyan and Gong Beixuan can be eliminated, I will agree to any request they make." He just wanted to survive now.

"Yes."

After the eunuch left, Long Shihua sat there, feeling very confused.

Before I knew it, it was already getting light outside.

Another eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to court."

Only then did Long Shihua stand up and leave the bedroom.

In the Council Hall.

More than a quarter of an hour had passed since the morning court session began, and the emperor, who was always diligent, was unexpectedly late.

The ministers began to whisper, but they were not talking about the emperor's lateness. Instead, they were discussing the murder that had occurred in the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Such a big commotion happened in the Duke of Wei's Mansion last night, so naturally some ministers who lived nearby knew about it.

"Your Majesty is here!"

All the civil and military officials knelt down in unison.

Long Shihua strode into the hall, climbed the steps and sat on the dragon chair.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone loves you!"

"If there is a starting point, I will withdraw from the court if nothing happens!"

"I have something to report!" A minister stepped out and said:

"Your Majesty, when I came to court today, I discovered that a murder had occurred in the Duke of Wei's mansion. Many bodies were placed outside the mansion gate. These people were all wearing black clothes and masks. They were obviously the murderers."

"Oh?" Long Shihua pretended to be surprised and asked, "What happened? How are the Chu family now?"

"Since the emperor cares so much about my Chu family, let me tell you something!" A cold female voice came in.

"Chu Feiyan!" Long Shihua stood up suddenly and looked at the people walking in from the entrance of the hall.
