The atmosphere in Nanning City today has become tense and weird.

The people didn't know the truth and really thought that the King of Nanning was going to rebel, and the prefectural government office was fighting against the King of Nanning.

Some wealthy families began to think of ways to leave the city and hide outside the city for temporary safety.

Ordinary people have closed their doors, and even many shops are closed.

After nightfall, Nanning City fell into a dead silence.

On the street outside the State Shepherd's Mansion, there were occasionally patrol teams passing by.

Lu Yu carefully avoided the patrolling teams and spied around the Zhou Mu Mansion.

He has been restless today, always feeling that something is going to happen.

If Chu Tianjiao hadn't warned him not to act rashly, he would have sneaked into the Liang Mansion long ago.

After confirming that there was no movement in the Liang Mansion, Lu Yu jumped onto a big tree across the street outside the main entrance, hiding in the dense canopy and monitoring people entering and leaving the Liang Mansion at any time.

A carriage stopped outside Liang Mansion.

Through the faint moonlight, Lu Yu could see clearly that it was a man in a black cloak who got off the carriage.

That figure was very familiar to Lu Yu.

Thank you Rongan.

His mentor was also the Dongyi spy who was preparing to destroy their Nanning Palace - Xie Rongan.

Lu Yu clenched his fists.

He watched Xie Rongan enter the Liang Mansion.

After the door of Liang Mansion was closed, Lu Yu jumped down from the tree.

"Xie Rongan and the king won't run into each other, right?"

"If the king meets Xie Rongan..."

……

Lu Yu shuddered just thinking about the consequences of Chu Tianjiao's encounter with Xie Rongan.

He knew how high Xie Rongan's martial arts was. In a head-on confrontation, Chu Tianjiao couldn't get past ten moves against him.

Lu Yu knew that he could not alert the enemy, so he could only continue to watch along the wall of Liang Mansion, ready to respond to Chu Tianjiao and Li Kuang at any time.

This was the first time he climbed up the wall. He didn't expect to meet Chu Tianjiao.

"Your Majesty, you have figured it out."

Seeing that Chu Tianjiao was safe, Lu Yu's heart, which had been tense all night, finally returned to his stomach.

"I didn't see the black boy."

Chu Tianjiao was about to go out, but after hearing what Lu Yu said, he stopped.

"Oops, Li Kuang must have escaped toward the inner courtyard to help me distract the master."

"Your Majesty, I just saw Xie Rongan go in."

Chu Tianjiao became even more anxious when he heard that it was Xie Rongan who was lured away by Li Kuang.

No matter what grievances he had with Li Kuang in his previous life, after getting along with him during this time, Chu Tianjiao felt that Li Kuang was not bad at heart and had helped him a lot along the way. Now they could at least be considered partners on the same front.

Chu Tianjiao would never abandon any of his partners easily.

"We must save him. Come down, let's divide our troops into two groups and set fire to disrupt the view and give Li Kuang a chance to escape."

Lu Yu jumped off the wall and handed Chu Tianjiao's Crow Sword to her.

He also carried Li Kuang's Qinghong Sword on his back.

"Your Majesty, you must be careful not to confront Xie Rong'an head-on or run away when you see him."

Lu Yu had no objection to Chu Tianjiao's decision to go back and rescue Li Kuang, but he was really worried about Chu Tianjiao meeting Xie Rongan.

Chu Tianjiao nodded: "I know the severity. I will try not to fight with anyone and run away after setting the fire."

Chu Tianjiao and Lu Yu discussed the route of setting fire and escaping, and sneaked back to Liang Mansion.

At this time, Liang Xing had summoned the guards and began to search for the assassin in the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard was completely surrounded, and Liang Xing led people to search one by one.

The inner courtyard is brightly lit.

The servants were driven into the middle of each courtyard.

The housekeeper followed Liang Xing and counted the people one by one with the roster.

Soon, they discovered that two maids were missing from Liang Shanshan's yard.

"Those two maids entered the house just yesterday."

Liang Xing had been in contact with Chu Tianjiao, but Chu Tianjiao was masked at the time. He didn't see Chu Tianjiao's appearance clearly, but judging from his voice, he should be a woman.

"Search, be sure to find this person for me.

How did these two maids enter the house? "

Someone revealed Fuchun's wife.

Fuchun's wife is back home now, not in the mansion.

Liang Xing sent someone to call Fuchun and his wife to meet him.

Liang Xing walked to Liang Shanshan's door and knocked on the door...

While the inner courtyard was noisy and looking for someone, fires lit up in several places in the outer courtyard.

"Go away, go out..."

After Liang Xing got Liang Shanshan's consent, he went into her room to take a look, and then hurried out.

"Damn it, assassin in the outer courtyard!"

Liang Xing left the inner courtyard with his guards and rushed to put out the fire.

Fires broke out in the outer courtyard, burning in more than one place.

Seeing that the Yamen of the state government, which was separated from the Liang Mansion by a wall, was about to burn down, the fire dragon team from the city arrived.

There was so much chaos everywhere that even if there were assassins mixed in at this time, no one would be able to tell them apart.

Chu Tianjiao felt that Li Kuang should be able to escape from this situation no matter what, so he took advantage of the chaos and jumped out of the Liang Mansion wall to join Lu Yu.

When the fire gradually came under control, Liang Xing rushed back to the study angrily and shouted at Xie Rongan:

"The assassin is not in the inner courtyard at all, and now the outer courtyard is on fire everywhere. How about my brother? Can you move somewhere else?"

Xie Rongan was giving Liang Cheng an acupuncture, and when his hand shook, he almost missed the injection.

"If you want him dead, just scream! Didn't you see that I was saving people?"

Liang Xing shut up.

By the time Xie Rong'an finished injecting Liang Cheng, the time for a stick of incense had passed.

Xie Rongan said: "He hurt his heart, I can only do my best, he shouldn't move now.

The assassin must have escaped from the house now. You have put the whole city under martial law and searched house to house. I guess one of the assassins has been hit by my poisonous needle and cannot escape far. "

Chu Tianjiao and Lu Yu waited outside Liang Mansion for a long time, but still didn't see Li Kuang come out.

I happened to see two guards hurried out of Liang's mansion, as if they were going somewhere to perform official duties.

Chu Tianjiao and Lu Yu followed him and turned into the alley where Fuchun's family lived.

Chu Tianjiao guessed that they were going to send Fuchun and his wife to the house for questioning.

Chu Tianjiao signaled and took action at the same time as Lu Yu.

These two guards were naturally no match for Chu Tianjiao and Lu Yu, and they were subdued in just a few moves.

"Tell me, has the assassin been caught in the house?"

Chu Tianjiao asked with his Heavenly Crow Sword across the guard's neck.

The guard grimaced, thinking he was unlucky.

I was sent by Lord Zhou Mu to pass on two servants, so why did I encounter an assassin?

"No, no one in the house was arrested."

After listening to the two guards explaining the situation in the Liang Mansion, Chu Tianjiao had an idea. He guessed that Li Kuang must have found a place to hide and was not caught by Xie Rongan for the time being.

After killing the two guards, Chu Tianjiao said to Lu Yu: "The security in Liang Mansion must be very tight now, Xie Rongan is also in the manor, we can't go in.

Li Kuang should be in no danger for the time being. Let's go back to Uncle Cheng's house and wait for him. "

Chu Tianjiao didn't know that Li Kuang had been poisoned by Xie Rongan and was hiding in Liang Shanshan's room.
