My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

Xu Wuyan, who had been thrown onto the carriage, slowly opened his eyes and glanced ahead before closing them again.

Lin Mo had warned him that he was in danger on this trip.

He couldn't possibly not be wary.

Therefore, he left a secret letter for Xu Feng, asking him to investigate Xu Qinghua.

If you don't check, you won't know.

Upon investigation, I was shocked.

It turns out that Xu Qinghua was already married and had children, and his wife and children were kidnapped a few days before his death.

This is why Xu Qinghua betrayed his father.

Xu Wuyan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

A rat hiding in the shadows knows how to win people's hearts, and so will he.

They will threaten Xu Qinghua and use him for their own purposes.

And he can do the same.

That's just how people are; once they betray, they're naturally more likely to betray those who follow them.

but……

As the sounds outside gradually subsided, Xu Wuyan frowned.

Is this outside the city?

Did Xu Pinggui and the others catch up?

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally came to a stop.

Soon, Xu Qinghua carried him off the carriage.

Xu Wuyan peeked through a crack in his eyes, surveying the house before him.

The house was very large and luxurious; everything he saw was exquisitely crafted.

Judging from the appearance, the owner of this house is no ordinary person.

In Luyang City, besides the Marquis of Luyang, who else could afford to live in such a house?

wrong……

Xu Wuyan subconsciously sniffed...

A faint smell of blood...

Before he could think any further, he was suddenly thrown to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, his hands were grabbed behind his back, and the rope dragged between his wrists.

And then came the sound of a door closing.

Something is wrong!

As Xu Wuyan opened his eyes, he forcefully slammed his body backward.

boom!

Those who tried to tie him up were knocked over by him.

Then, he rolled to the left, landed on both feet, and with a push from his waist and abdomen, stood up.

The rope that was supposed to bind his hands fell to the ground.

He saw Xu Qinghua standing opposite him with a smile.

Xu Wuyan realized that he had been deceived by Xu Qinghua.

damn it.

His face immediately darkened.

Indeed, one should never trust someone who has betrayed their master.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

Xu Qinghua clapped his hands with a smile:

"Young master, your reaction time is good, and your skills are impressive."

Xu Wuyan didn't look at him.

Instead, her eyes were fixed on what was behind him.

Many people were lying haphazardly behind Xu Qinghua.

The bodies of these people were already soaked in blood; without even looking, it was clear they were dead.

Xu Wuyan looked at Xu Qinghua expressionlessly:

"You killed these people?"

Xu Qinghua nodded, "We did the killing, but the world will think it was you who did it."

Young master, this is a wonderful gift for you. Do you like it?

Xu Wuyan remembered what Lin Mo had told him before: if he entered Luyang City, he would suffer an injustice.

Her words came true.

He looked up at Xu Qinghua and said, "So, you're the leader of these people."

In this round, I was outmatched and lost.

She thought that knowing the reason why he betrayed her father would make him help her.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be one of the accomplices behind the scenes.

Xu Wuyan's hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched tightly involuntarily.

Seeing him smile without speaking, a hint of hostility appeared in Xu Wuyan's eyes:

"My father's death was also your doing, wasn't it?"

Xu Qinghua finally spoke, "I didn't want your father to die, but he knew some things he shouldn't have known. So, he had to die."

He paused for a moment before looking at Xu Wuyan again:

"Your father wrote you a letter before he died. Where is the letter?"

Give me the letter, and I can assure you that your two younger sisters will be safe and sound after you die.

Xu Wuyan sneered:

Do you think I'll believe you?

"I fear that if you get the letter you want, my two sisters and I will die even faster."

His father treated him like a brother, and they had a relationship that lasted for thirty years.

He was willing to frame his father without hesitation.

If I were to believe him, I would probably be the most foolish person in the world.

"I know you won't believe me." Xu Qinghua shook his head.

"But don't expect anyone to come and save you."

Your people have long been left behind by us.

Xu Wuyan, a dozen identical carriages, each headed in a different direction.

"Tell me, how long do you think it will take Xu Pinggui and his group to find this place?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men in black appeared around him and surrounded Xu Wuyan.

Xu Wuyan's heart sank.

He's not planning to leave himself any way out.

Xu Wuyan looked up at him. "So, the information Xu Feng found was also fake? Whose side are you really on?"

If it weren't for the information Xu Feng found out, he wouldn't have been so easily fooled.

Therefore, he knew about his every move in advance and made preparations accordingly.

Isn't it a bit of a coincidence that they knew this?

Seeing that Xu Qinghua remained silent, Xu Wuyan narrowed his eyes:

"Were you specially sent to my father's side?"

So, were there other people sent by the other party with him?

Thinking of this, Xu Wuyan's heart sank.

“You are indeed smarter than your father, you actually guessed this.” Xu Qinghua raised an eyebrow.

“You’re right. I was sent to your father’s side when I was a child, and the purpose was to monitor him. I’ve been doing this for thirty years.”

Xu Qinghua sighed, "Over the years, I've come to regard your father as a brother."

To be honest, if he hadn't been meddling and uncovered certain things, I wouldn't have taken action against him.

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, "Hand it over, hand it over, and I'll let you die a quick death, so you don't implicate your two younger sisters."

Xu Wuyan shook his head, "My father is blind."

A cold smile crept across his lips:

"Are you sure I'll really drag my two younger sisters down with me?"

Since he knew that someone was going to target the Xu family, how could he not be on guard at all?

At this moment, Xu Wuyan was unaware that Xu Pinggui and his group had lost track of him, and he and Xu Feng had split up. Xu Feng continued to lead people to look for him, while Xu Pinggui went to find Lin Mo.

Xu Qinghua shook his head, "I know you're smart."

But you should also know that two hands can't fight four fists. There aren't many people you can rely on here either.

Xu Wuyan shrugged, not answering the question.

Instead, he looked around the house again and asked, "Can I ask you another question?"

Whose house is this?

Not only did you slaughter his entire family, but you also pinned the blame on me. I suspect this man has close ties to my Xu family and even holds an important position in the court, isn't that right?"

Because of this, he went through the list of important officials in the court in his mind, but he couldn't remember any of them living in Luyang City.

"I already told you, you're smarter than your father." Xu Qinghua said with admiration.

“That’s right, Qin Ge Lao’s own brother. Tell me, once the news of you killing his brother’s family gets out, do you think Qin Ge Lao will still go out of his way for your family? He’s the only one who believes in your father.”

Xu Wuyan's expression tightened. "You're really ruthless."

Xu Qinghua shook his head, waved his hand to order his men to take action, and didn't intend to waste any more words with him.

As the men in black surrounded him, Xu Qinghua grinned maliciously:

“Xu Wuyan, if you’re unwilling to hand it over, then you can only die. Once you’re dead, I’ll kill everyone around you, and this letter will become unimportant.”

With everyone from the Prince of Anping's mansion dead, who would bother to investigate these matters?

At most, the emperor would only offer a few perfunctory words of self-reproach.

As soon as he finished speaking, the swords and knives in the black-clad men all slashed at Xu Wuyan.

Xu Wuyan snorted coldly, and with a sidestep, he avoided the swords and blades.

He then turned his body and quickly placed his hand on one of the people's arms.

He took his hand, used the knife in the other person's hand to block the other people's knives, and then twisted his wrist to snatch the knife from the other person's hand.

With a backhand slash, he sent him straight to heaven.

At the same time, other men in black attacked.

Xu Wuyan's face darkened, and as he dodged backward, he quickly swung his sword in retaliation.

The smell of blood in the air gradually became stronger.

The number of corpses of men in black on the ground gradually increased, and Xu Wuyan also had many wounds on his body.

Xu Qinghua, standing to the side, had a gloomy face.

He knew Xu Wuyan was no ordinary man, but he never expected him to be so much more powerful than he had anticipated.

This kid has grown up very quickly over the years.

He looked at the two men beside him and said, "Go and take care of them."

The two nodded and drew their swords to attack Xu Wuyan.

coming.

Xu Wuyan dodged the opponent's sword by sidestepping, and with a backhand slash, forced one of them back.

But another sword thrust at him forced him to dodge awkwardly.

Master.

Xu Wuyan's face was terribly gloomy, and his counterattack became even faster and more ruthless.

However, caught in the crossfire between the two, Xu Wuyan's situation also became dangerous.

Xu Qinghua then revealed a smug look on his face and sneered:

"Xu Wuyan, stop struggling. You can't escape. Why not just die a quick death?"

But in response, Xu Wuyan launched an even more ferocious attack.

He severely injured one of the opponents, but also sustained a wound on his own body.

Xu Qinghua sneered, "Xu Wuyan, stop struggling and accept your fate. I'll give you a quick death, and I'll even make sure your two sisters die a quick death. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and cruel. I'll torture them enough before killing them."

"Is that so? I'm afraid you won't have that chance."

Before Xu Wuyan could speak, a clear female voice came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards...
