24. Chapter 24
Drunken Xianglou, a scene that happened in Zuiyun Xuan made Du Caini and the shopkeeper Yuan all dumbfounded, don't look at Du Long, this kid is not very strong, but his combat effectiveness is surprisingly strong!
"Kid Dulong, don't be in a daze, there are quite a few people rushing up again!" the voice of the Ringing Beauty sounded in her head, obviously reminding this somewhat proud fellow.
Du Long woke up and hurriedly shouted to Du Caini: "First sister!
When the words fell, he didn't care about the first sister Du Caini, and took Xia Qinglian's jade hand to rush towards the staircase first, but unfortunately, the staircase was already crowded with a group of guards from the Zuixiang Building, and dozens of guards actually rushed up with weapons!
Taking advantage of a corner that others couldn't see, Du Long turned his hand and took out the strange-shaped Xuanyang war knife, brandished a war knife weighing hundreds of pounds, and killed the group of guards without hesitation.
"Hurry, stop Du Long, just catch Qinglian back, don't hurt anyone!" Yuan Shopkeeper, who threw off Du Caini and chased after him, shouted loudly to the many guards who blocked Du Long's way, he obviously didn't want to hurt Du Long, this guy is the grandson of the Du family, if he has three long and two short, he can't afford that responsibility!
"Get out of the way!" roared, and Du Long was like a tiger descending from the mountain, wielding a strange-shaped sword with a cold light and slashing towards the crowd blocking the stairs.
"Block him together!" someone in the crowd shouted, taking the lead in waving his knife to block Du Long's powerful knife, and the others who stood in the first row with him followed suit!
"Humph!"
With an angry snort, Du Long didn't think about it, so he unleashed the Xuanyang Twin Stacked Wave, the strange-shaped war knife cut through the air, and the secondary afterburner produced a superposition, and luckily the Xuanyang Twin Stacked Wave was successfully cast.
Click......
The cold light of the strange-shaped Xuanyang War Knife flashed, and four or five blocking weapons were cut off one after another, and those ordinary soldiers were like wooden sticks in front of the Xuanyang Shuang Stacked Waves, and they were cut off in an instant!
I didn't expect my style to be so powerful, the war knife in Du Long's hand was castrated, and he went straight to a guy who was dumbfounded and cut off on the head, if this is to be cut in place, I am afraid that it will be directly split in the head!
Du Long didn't want to kill people at all today, once he killed someone, it became unreasonable, so he could only try his best to change the trajectory of the knife and make it slash down diagonally, even so, he still slashed on the guy's left shoulder, and a piece of flesh the size of a palm was slashed off obliquely.
If it weren't for Du Long's efforts to control it, I'm afraid this guy's left arm would have been removed with a knife!
Blood splattered, and the frightened guard woke up with a howl, covering the wound on his left shoulder with his right hand, and retreated to the side like a ghost.
Du Long's brave performance frightened the group of guards on the spot, and they dodged backwards one after another!
Holding the odd-shaped Xuanyang Knife, Du Long forced towards the staircase step by step, and none of the entire group of thugs in Zuixianglou dared to make a move, and they were all forced back by him.
"Bastard, don't hurry up and take Qinglian to Lao Tzu!" "Shopkeeper Yuan, who was entangled by Du Caini again, had already seen Du Long's performance in his eyes through the corner of his eye, and he was secretly shocked while still not forgetting to shout angrily at the group of guards.
It seems that the shopkeeper Yuan is not small on weekdays, although this group of guards is very afraid of Du Long, they can only rush up, wanting to catch Xia Qinglian, who he is trying his best to protect.
How could Du Long let Xia Qinglian be caught back by them, this group of people didn't dare to kill them, his pressure was not too great, the Xuanyang knife in his hand was cut out one after another, cutting off the weapons in the hands of the guards one by one, and he was not polite to some guys who didn't open their eyes, and slashed them once or twice from time to time, of course, the parts chosen were not fatal!
Even so, there was still a lot of blood sprayed on Du Long and Xia Qinglian, looking at Du Long who was stained with blood on her face, Xia Qinglian felt a strange feeling in her heart, she never dreamed that one day, there would be a man willing to work so hard for herself.
This weak woman, who has fallen into the dust and has never felt the warmth of others and is on the verge of despair, finally felt that there was still a man in the world who was willing to pay so much for herself, and her heart, which had been frozen for a long time, instantly appeared a crack and began to have a trace of warmth!
At this moment, Xia Qinglian only had the shadow of this little man in her eyes, and her beautiful eyes stared at him without blinking, as he waved his knife to repel one enemy after another, she burst into tears when she saw him accidentally slashed his arm by the enemy!
Du Long didn't glance at Xia Qinglian beside him, he only knew that he desperately protected her and rushed out of the encirclement together, advancing down the stairs step by step, and with every step of progress, he had to repel one or two guards who were blocking the way.
Disheveled!
At the same time as the strange-shaped war knife cut off a long sword, it slashed fiercely on the guardrail of the staircase, just as Du Long's blow successfully unleashed the Xuanyang Double Stacked Wave, and an invisible force blasted the two or three meters long guardrail to burst, and on the spot, two or three guards who were squeezed on the edge of the guardrail were shocked to the banquet hall downstairs!
The sound of the fight above had already alarmed the guests in the Zuixiang Building, and they all stayed away from the staircase, but they were reluctant to leave, and they all stayed at the edge of the hall on the first floor and watched the battle on the stairs curiously!
"Look! Isn't that Xia Qinglian, the number one brand in Zuixiang Building?!Who is that kid? How dare he make trouble in Zuixiang Building?! It looks like he wants to save Xia Qinglian!"
"You can't even recognize him?! Isn't that the infamous Du family's second ancestor Poison Dragon Lao Jiu in the capital!"
"It's him?!Isn't it a legend that he is a waste of cultivation, he can't cultivate at all, and even the dozens of guards of the Drunken Xianglou can't do anything about him, how can he be a waste?!"
"You don't know, do you?! I heard that this kid's problem of not being able to cultivate has long been cured, and he is still a cultivation waste now!"
"Isn't it a rumor that the poisoned Long Lao Jiu divorced his wife?! Looking at the majestic appearance of the people now, where do you care about the shameless daughter of the Zhao family!"
“......”
The banquet hall on the first floor resounded with the buzzing voices of many onlookers, and everyone watched curiously and excitedly watching the scene of the stairs on the second floor all the way down, this is in the capital, no one dares to kill innocents at will, so they are in the mood to watch the show from afar!
Seeing that Du Long was injured and the little golden snake stopped doing it, he saw a golden light shoot out from Du Long's body from time to time, knocking down some guys who were secretly shooting, so that Du Long's pressure plummeted, and the speed of progress also increased.
Seeing that Du Long was about to rush out of the gate of Zuixianglou, a team of city defense troops wearing bright silver armor rushed towards Zuixianglou with neat steps, led by a middle-aged man wearing a standard general uniform and riding a war horse, he was Zhou Xu, the deputy captain of the city defense team.
When the city defense army arrived, the guards of the Zuixiang Building, who were still trying their best to stop Du Long, immediately stopped, and soon made way for the city defense army, and the captain Zhou Xu, who was riding a war horse, turned over and dismounted, and strode towards the gate of the Zuixiang Building.
"What the hell is going on?!Why are you fighting in Zuixiang Building?!Even the guys are moving?!" Zhou Xu looked at the scene in front of him with a serious face, and the Zuixiang Building almost became a bloody road along the inside of the gate all the way to the staircase, and the tables and chairs along the way were even more messy.
"Lord Qiyu, that Du Long wanted to rob the top famous prostitute Xia Qinglian from my Zuixiang Building, and we waited desperately to stop him, but he actually started to commit murder!" A guard from Zuixiang Building hurriedly reported to Zhou Xu.
"Du Long, kidnapping Xia Qinglian?!" Zhou Xu was stunned, and looked up at the guy who was surrounded by a group of people and his face was covered in blood, it was indeed Du Long of the Du family!
"Lord Zhou, don't listen to their nonsense! Under the emperor's pardon order, Xia Qinglian was pardoned for his crimes, and was entrusted by Princess Huofeng to redeem her from Zuixiang Building, but he never thought that the shopkeeper Yuan of Zuixiang Mansion refused to hand over Xia Qinglian, who had recovered her beloved status, and wanted to take a beloved person to auction, and under the order of Princess Huofeng, Xia Qinglian must be taken out tonight, otherwise I may not be able to explain it to Her Royal Highness the princess tomorrow, which is why there is this scene!" Du Long, whose face was covered in blood, squeezed his eyes at Zhou Xu and roughly explained what happened here.
"My lord, please see! This is the pardon decree written by the emperor himself, and this is the gold medal for Princess Huofeng!"
Zhou Xu came out of the crowd and came to Du Long's approach, not in a hurry to receive the pardon and gold medal, but looked up and down at Du Long, who had become a bloody man, and secretly stretched out his thumb and shook it at him and whispered: "Boy, my uncle has obeyed you!
Xia Qinglian, who was originally nervous for Du Long, heard Zhou Xu's slightly ridiculous words, and at the same time, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her jade face suddenly turned red, although the white silk scarf covered her face, the jade neck that turned from white to red betrayed her.
"Hehe, uncle, you're in such a hurry! If I change to other city defense captains, I'll be in big trouble!" Du Long whispered to his brother-in-law with a smile, this Zhou Xu is the younger brother of Du's mother Zhou Ruoxue, and the Zhou family's power in the capital is not weaker than the Du family.
Slowly receiving the pardon and the princess gold medal from Du Long's hand, Zhou Xu pretended to look at it seriously, and said to Du Long in a low voice: "Stinky boy! What you said is true? When did you become so familiar with Princess Huofeng? Why has my uncle never heard of this?!"
"I also have an intersection with Princess Huofeng in recent days, I must not lie to you, the money that ransom Qinglian came out of is still given by my mother, who is your second sister!
After Zhou Xu verified the authenticity of the pardon and princess token in his hand, he already believed Du Long's words in his heart, and then deliberately said with a straight face: "Come on, bring the two of them and the woman back together!"
Zhou Xu pointed to Du Long and Xia Qinglian, and also pointed to Du Caini, who had just come down from the second floor, and soon two teams of city defense troops stepped forward to arrest people.
"Dare to ask this captain his honorable name?!I am very familiar with your city defense army Vice General Liu!" The shopkeeper Yuan, who had already followed Du Caini, hurriedly stepped forward to greet Zhou Xu.
'The deputy general surnamed Liu is a fart!' Zhou Xu snorted coldly in his heart, no way, his third uncle is the general of the city defense army, and that deputy general is really unsightly!
"You are the shopkeeper here, right?! Du Long has a pardon decree written by the emperor himself, as well as the gold medal of Princess Huofeng, this matter can only be regarded as unlucky! I took it away, if you have any doubts, please appeal to the city defense army! Farewell!" Zhou Xu is too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, he knows the background of Zuixianglou very well, in case he attracts other forces, it will be a little troublesome to leave at that time!
Shopkeeper Yuan could only watch the city defense army take Du Long and Xia Qinglian away, looking at the tone of this captain, it seemed that he didn't take himself seriously, and it seemed that this matter could only be reported to the owner and let him come forward to solve it!
