After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Lu San walked over and untied the cloth from his mouth.

Old Ghost Liu bared his teeth and stretched his stiff face, then cried to him, "Sir, you are finally here. You are a bunch of inhuman people. I am so old, but they still want me to sell my body. It is really unfair!"

"Who are you?"

Lu San curled his lips and sneered, watching his clumsy performance, and waited for him to finish crying, then spat out a few words coldly.

Liu Laogui still had tears on his old face. He said pitifully, "I am just an old man who grows crops. They kidnapped me and brought me here, saying that I have good kung fu and asked me to train those girls."

"Although it is said that dying under the peony flowers is a romantic ghost, but I am already so old. No matter how good my kung fu is, my physical strength is not good enough. They are trying to kill me!"

Liu Laogui lied without stopping, and Lu San and the others twitched their lips as they listened.

"Take people away!"

When Lu San came out with his men, the madam's pupils suddenly widened.

They actually found it!

Liu Laogui must not be taken away by them. The madam's eyes turned fierce. She pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and put it on Xu Lingyun's neck with lightning speed.

"grown ups!"

When Captain Liu and his men saw this, they immediately cried out in surprise.

Lu San stood on the steps with Liu Laogui, his eyes fixed on the sharp broken dagger on Xu Lingyun's neck, his brows furrowed.

"Release Lord Xu!"

The madam sneered, "If you want to save his life, hand over the person behind you!"

"Don't worry about me, just take him away!"

There was a sharp pain in his neck, but Xu Lingyun remained calm.

Seeing that he was not obedient, the madam used her men to exert more force, and blood immediately gushed out.

"If you don't want your master to lose his life, hand him over!"

The madam glanced at Zhu San and others with a sharp look. The assassins who were pretending to be servants in Yichunyuan took out the long swords hidden in the beams and surrounded them.

The gate of Yichunyuan was open. On the carriage opposite, Bai Youyou's breathing quickened when she saw this scene.

"Lu Qi, go and inform Sixth Brother immediately and ask him to bring someone over!"

"Master, I am now responsible for your safety."

Lu Qi didn't move, he just pulled out a flare from his hand and released it.

"Not only are there the prince's men inside, but there are also his spies everywhere outside Yichun Courtyard. I think it would be better for you to return home, so as not to be held hostage like Lord Xu."

Lu Qi almost said explicitly that she was now a burden.

Bai Youyou blinked and stared at her for two seconds, with a somewhat resentful look on his face.

Do you dislike her so much?

She lifted the curtain of the small window and took a look into Yichun Courtyard. Looking at the cold white blades, she hesitated for a moment and decided to leave this dangerous place first.

Maybe it was just as Lu Qi said, and someone took him hostage.

Just as she was about to leave, many men in black suddenly came to the gate of Yichunyuan.

"Brother Six!"

Bai Youyou exclaimed in a low voice.

Not only Lu Xuan received the signal, but the prince's men also received the signal.

People from both sides gathered in front of Yichun Courtyard at the same time, staring at each other, and no one dared to act rashly.

The madam in the room was still clamoring for Lu San to release the man.

Lu San walked down the stairs step by step. When the madam saw him approaching her, she pulled Xu Lingyun back a step.

"If you come over here again, I'll kill him now!"

Lu San stopped and looked at her coldly: "Do you think you can escape unscathed if we release the people? Now Yichunyuan has been surrounded, and you have no way to retreat."

"Whether we can retreat or not is our business," the madam gritted her teeth, "as long as you release him, I will release Master Xu."

Lu Xuan walked to the door and said to Lu San, "Give her the person."

"This old man has committed so many crimes, how can we let him go so easily?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I commit so many crimes?"

As soon as Lu San finished speaking, the old man who was being held captive shouted in dissatisfaction, "I have never stepped on an ant to death in my life. I am very kind."

Lu Xuan's face darkened, and he said without allowing any argument: "Release him!"

Lu San grabbed Liu Laogui by the back of his collar and brought the skinny old man in front of him like a chicken.

"I am Lord Xu's subordinate. If Lord Xu tells me to release me, then I will be released!"

The madam subconsciously looked at Xu Lingyun who was being held hostage by her.

"call out--"

Suddenly a hidden weapon shot out from the crowd and went straight towards her.

When the madam dodged, Xu Lingyun took the opportunity to break free.

Fell into a trap!

The madam reacted and immediately gave the order: "Kill them!"

Old Ghost Liu must not fall into the hands of the people in the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion, otherwise they will all die!

Seeing this, Lu Xuan immediately ordered everyone to encircle and attack the people in Yichunyuan.

For a moment, swords and sabers were flashing and flying everywhere.

During the melee, Bai Youyou was terrified as she watched from inside the carriage.

Lu Qi stayed close to the carriage to prevent a sneak attack.

Lu Xuan is a martial arts expert and brought many people with him, but the Yichunyuan's warriors fought desperately and the battle was still fierce.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

When Lu Qi saw the person coming, his face suddenly became stern, "It's Lord Chang, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards!"

"Is he the prince's man?"

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Bai Youyou had some guesses in her mind.

"His name was on the list of immortals found in Yaochi Garden."

The situation became more complicated when Deputy Commander Chang arrived. He shouted, "Stop it!"

When everyone heard this, they slowed down their movements.

Deputy Commander Chang had an unusual dark yellow look on his face. He walked into the courtyard, looked at the mess on the ground, and said coldly: "The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion secretly mobilized troops to surround Yichun Courtyard. Are they trying to rebel?"

Xu Lingyun turned around and looked at him with a cold expression: "Master Chang, you misunderstood. This place is where criminals are hidden. I asked them to assist Jingzhao Prefecture in handling the case."

Lord Chang looked at Lu Xuan who was standing beside him. Lu Xuan curled his lips and chuckled, "That's true."

Lord Chang's face was gloomy. "Where is the criminal? Lord Xu, do you have any evidence?"

The Crown Prince asked him to arrest the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion on the charge of being bandits, but now that Xu Lingyun is here, this excuse is no longer valid.

"Sir Chang, this is Jingzhao Prefecture's official business, so it's inconvenient to tell you."

At this moment, the captured Liu Laogui suddenly broke free from his restraints and rushed towards Lord Chang, shouting, "Lord, save me!"

Lu Xuan was quick to act and grabbed his shoulder.

Just as he was restraining Liu Laogui, a cold light flashed across the old procuress's inverted triangle eyes. She moved her wrist and the dagger shot towards Lu Xuan like an arrow.

"careful!"

Lu Sanda was horrified, and Xu Lingyun on the side pushed Lu Xuan out before he could take any action.

"Well!"

The dagger pierced into his chest with a "chi" sound.

"Master Xu!"

Lu Xuan threw Liu Laogui in his hand to Lu San, and embraced Xu Lingyun who was collapsing.

Most of the broken dagger was embedded in his chest, and blood soon soaked his clothes. Lu Xuan raised his head and stared coldly at the madam and others, "These people assassinated the imperial officials, take them back to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had no right to detain these people, so it could only take them to the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture and detain them first.

"General Lu, this was done by the madam alone. You cannot take anyone else away."

Deputy Commander Chang embraced Lu San, and Xu Lingyun, who was about to faint, held his breath and said weakly: "Master Chang, I am investigating a case, and even the Imperial Guards have no right to interfere!"
