Seeing that Hong Guan arrived so quickly, Yue Buqun's face was still a little stiff. He forcefully pried Qing Jian's hands apart, breaking two of his finger bones.

"Hong Guan, someone pretended to be me before and used the Star Absorbing Technique to absorb people's internal energy and kill them. I followed them and found out that they wanted to kill you. I thought about coming to help you, but it seems that I was worrying too much."

Hong Guan looked at Yue Buqun with amusement, "So I have to thank Master Yue?"

Yue Buqun smiled with a fake smile, "You're welcome. We are all family. I have to thank you for what happened at Huashan last time. Otherwise, my Huashan Sect would be in danger."

"You're welcome, but since Sect Leader Yue wants to help me, I wonder if you can do me one more thing!"

Yue Buqun sheathed his sword and resumed his gentlemanly demeanor, "Just ask. As long as it's something I can do, I will never refuse you!"

This old fox’s words sound nice, but what I can do is the key.

"It's not difficult. Sect Leader Yue will definitely be able to do it. I want you to go to Blackwood Cliff and deliver a letter to Dongfang Bubai, saying that one year later, I will have a fair fight with him here to determine who is better and whether he lives or dies!"

The joy in Yue Buqun's eyes flashed away, "Hong Guan, I know that his martial arts are strong, but Dongfang Bubai's martial arts are unfathomable. It's better not to take risks!"

"Don't worry, I won't joke with my life. Once I kill Dongfang Bubai, you will be the leader of the righteous martial arts world and you will have no rivals. This is a win-win situation for both of us!"

Yue Buqun nodded. Although he didn’t know Dongfang Bubai’s strength, he felt that with his current strength, even if he couldn’t defeat him, he could still escape!

"Okay, then I'll help you do this!"

Hong Guan smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Yue. I have one more thing to say. Master Yue can take it as a piece of advice. You are a man of the world, so just stay in the world and don't think about anything else.

I don't care about this little piece of Jianghu territory, and I won't get involved. How about we keep to ourselves?"

"Of course, we are a family, how could I make things difficult for you? Then Yue will take his leave first."

"Master Yue, please do as you please!"

Yue Buqun nodded, turned around and used the Golden Goose Skill, and disappeared after a few jumps.

Ding Baiying and the others came to Hong Guan and asked, "Do you think Yue Buqun is here to kill us?"

"You are not qualified. He is here to kill me. If I get hurt tonight, those people he killed will probably join him in killing me."

"Then why did you let him go? Just kill him to prevent future troubles!"

"He is Lingshan's father. This is my last chance to give him!" In fact, Hong Guan did not tell the truth. He felt that Yue Buqun was still valuable to him, but to say this was a bit cold-blooded.

Ding Baiying nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. It seemed to be the search team. We didn't know they were here, but they would be here soon.

"The pursuers are here. Go south, make a circle, enter the city from the east gate, and wait for me in our small courtyard in the east city. I will go north to lead the enemy away."

Ding Xiu said nonchalantly, "Brother Guan, you were able to kill thousands of Japanese pirates, and the same goes for these people. Why should we hide?"

Hong Guan patted his shoulder and said, "When we accomplish our great mission, the whole world will belong to us. Let them help us and die on the road to fighting the Tartars. Isn't that wonderful!"

Ding Xiu immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Guan, you are this, then we will leave first!"

Ding Baiying and the others left, and Hong Guan sat cross-legged on the slope alone. Accompanied by lightning, he soon saw the horse team approaching, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters!

Hong Guan suddenly stood up, took out the magical bow, and shot arrows. Two of the leaders of the East Factory were pierced through immediately.

He fired the arrow again, and the Jinyiwei commander Tian Ergeng, Wei Zhongxian's adopted son, was shot dead. Hong Guan glanced at Lu Wenzhao behind him, stood up and ran north.

Even though they were using a single reed to cross the river, the horses were unable to catch up, and half an hour later, they could only watch Hong Guan disappear from their sight.

The next morning, the capital was still bustling with activity. Hong Guan changed his appearance, carrying two large food boxes, like a delivery boy. He came to a courtyard, put down the food boxes, and gently knocked on the gate.

A male voice came from inside, as if he had not yet woken up. "Who is it, so early in the morning?"

"Sir, I've brought you the roast duck you ordered from Quanjude yesterday. Please open the door!"

There was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and a stranger opened the door. "Please help me carry it in!"

Hong Guan nodded, picked up the food box, and went into the yard!

This stranger was also Ding Baiying's follower, but they didn't keep in touch normally. On the surface, he seemed to be helping Lu Wenzhao.

Why wasn't the secret code just now three short knocks and one long knock on the door, or a more awesome secret code? Because you don't know which person on the street is the secret sentry of the Eastern Depot or the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

On the contrary, the code doesn't sound strange and is less likely to be discovered. In TV dramas, those who meet in teahouses or theaters and use special codes are mostly sick and afraid that they won't die fast enough!

As soon as he entered the main room, Ding Xiu took the food box and said, "Brother Guan, you are finally here. We are starving. What delicious food did you bring?"

Hong Guan laughed and said, "They are all Quanjude roast ducks, twenty in total, share them among you."

Ding Xiu went to divide the ducks. People who practiced martial arts had big appetites, so twenty ducks were just enough. Even Ding Baiying took a roast duck and walked to Hong Guan while eating.

"What do we do next?"

"You guys eat first, I'll disguise you later, leave here first and activate the backup plan, and take action when Zhu Youxiao goes out!"

"it is good!"

Two hours later, Hong Guan left with a lunch box, walked around, changed his face, and came to a dyeing workshop in the south of the city.

Soon the other four people arrived. Hong Guan made a prosthesis to cover the location of Ding Xian’s broken hand, so it was impossible to tell it was fake unless you touched it!

After settling down, Hong Guan would go out every day to inquire about the news. Two months later, when the capital had become very cold, Zhu Youxiao actually went out for a trip, and he even wanted to take a boat trip on the river!

One can't help but sigh, the emperor is so fucking willful. It's so cold and the water is about to freeze, but you still go out to cruise on the river. What are you thinking?

But this is indeed an opportunity for Hong Guan. If they start from underwater, the possibility of success will be higher!

Thinking of this, Hong Guan returned to the dyeing workshop and called the four people over. "Yingzi, find a chance to meet Lu Wenzhao this afternoon. Zhu Youxiao is going to take a boat trip on the river recently. This is our chance.

Let him inform the Donglin Party and tell them that I can assassinate Zhu Youxiao, so that the Donglin Party can create chaos and attract the attention of the guards. "

Ding Xiu: "Why? We can do this ourselves. With our martial arts skills, after we create chaos, neither the Imperial Guards nor the Eastern Depot can do anything to us."

Hong Guan chuckled and said, "Why put your own people at risk when you have free thugs available?"

Ding Xiu smiled obscenely and said nothing more.

"By the way, Yingzi, Lu Wenzhao might wonder why I took action, so just say that I contacted you on my own initiative because I was wanted.

Tell him that when the new emperor ascends the throne, he must destroy the eunuch party within a year, otherwise I will kill them one by one, and the Donglin Party should not be suspicious anymore! "

"Okay, I'll tell my brother, but won't this be bad for him?"

"It's okay. People like him are more suitable for fighting. If they are not smart enough, they won't be able to choose good people in the capital. We are here to help him!

Just say that he did dirty work for the Donglin Party and Prince Xin. Do you think that if Prince Xin really comes to power one day, will he keep him? The Zhu family couldn't even keep the founding fathers, let alone a person who does dirty work! "

Ding Baiying nodded with a grim expression. The Zhu family was indeed like that. No matter which emperor it was, they were all ruthless in doing things.

At night, Ding Baiying did not come back, but everyone was not in a hurry. Most likely, Lu Wenzhao could not make the decision and had to communicate with the Donglin Party. She was waiting for news.

But late at night, footsteps were heard on the street again, and Hong Guan woke up suddenly. Damn, is this such a bad idea? Was he discovered again?

When Hong Guan was about to run away, he found that the footsteps passed by the dyeing workshop without stopping and gradually went away. Hong Guan was sure then that they were not directed at him.

After putting on clothes and following him out, he soon discovered that it was Shen Lian who led the team. They searched a mansion and looked at the plaque on it and found that it was Zhou Mansion!

Hong Guan was stunned for a moment, and calculated the time. It seemed that they were going to raid Zhou Miaoxuan and Zhou Miaotong's homes. Looking at the scale of the mansion, he knew that Zhou's father was a high-ranking official and should be a member of the Donglin Party. It was not unfair.

Shen Lian led his men to break into the room, and soon screams and cries were heard from inside. In less than an hour, a man with messy hair, about 40 years old, was pushed out first, followed by many men.

The first person to be escorted out should be Zhou's father.

The man was taken away and thrown into jail, and the women were soon taken out as well. There were two little girls in the crowd, one looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other was only twelve or thirteen years old. There were traces of tears on their faces, and they looked pitiful.

The smaller one among them stared at Shen Lian, who was standing at the door with an expressionless face. His face was full of fear. He looked like Blind Sister when she was a child.

This scene should have left a psychological trauma on Zhou Miaotong later on!

More than a dozen Jinyiwei escorted them towards the Jiaofangsi. Some of them were dishonest and even attacked the female members of the family. Shen Lian frowned and stabbed one of them in the back with a sheath!

"Want to die? Keep your hands to yourself!"

Hong Guan did not take any action, but watched quietly. When the women disappeared on the street, boxes were carried out one by one. The person next to Shen Lian took a small notebook and opened the boxes to record.

Listening to the report, there were 1.2 million taels of silver, 100,000 taels of gold, and a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and land deeds. It was not unfair that the Zhou family was confiscated!

Hong Guan turned and left. Shen Lian frowned, looked at the place where Hong Guan had just stayed, waved to the two of them to go over and take a look, but found nothing.

At this time, Hong Guan had already caught up with the Jinyiwei who were about to go to the Jiaofangsi. He flew onto the roof, sprinkled two large bags of lime powder, and threw two homemade smoke bombs. In the chaos, he grabbed the young versions of Yang Mi and Xia Jie and started running away!

Some of the remaining female family members wanted to escape in the chaos, but they were killed by the Jinyiwei. This was not something Hong Guan should worry about.

He went to a secluded place, pressed the two women's sleep points, and then took them into the Milin Manor. After giving some instructions to Xiyu and Yue Lingshan, asking them to take care of the two women, he returned to the dyeing workshop.

Things have gotten a little out of the ordinary today. If it weren't for the fact that the two were young Da Mi Mi and Xia Jie, Hong Guan would not have bothered to take action. I hope it won't affect Zhu Youxiao's outing!
