Chapter 289: Xinwu Marquis Mansion
When Han Bing ran all the way to the Xinwu Marquis Mansion, he saw several corpses lying in a pool of blood in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion. Judging by what they are wearing, these people should be the guards and subordinates in the Hou Mansion.
He didn't bother to take another look, and went straight to the mansion, rushing to the backyard where the faint sound of shouting and fighting could be heard.
The corpses of the people in the Hou Mansion can be seen everywhere along the road, and the more you go to the backyard, the more corpses there are, and occasionally a few corpses of the black-clothed Ouchi masters appear.
When I finally entered the courtyard, the front of the courtyard gate was almost full of corpses of different shapes.
The cold ice flew past the corpses and plunged into the courtyard.
He clenched his teeth, without saying a word, the Running Moon Sword in his hand had come out of his hand, and with a soft sound of "hum", the rapidly spinning blade cut off the head of a master who was raising his sword to cut at an old man!
Before the corpse could fall, the cold man had already arrived, stretched out his hand to take the bloody short sword, and flew towards the few masters in the courtyard who were fighting with the remaining dozen or so Hou Mansion guards.
In just a few flashes of movement, those few Ouchi masters had already fallen under the icy Moon-Rushing Sword.
I saw that he didn't take the slightest breath, and flew towards the three big internal masters who were besieging Chu Wenxuan in front of the hall door.
The three Ouchi masters had already noticed that there was something wrong behind them, and as soon as they turned around, what they saw in front of them was a forest and a cold light!
Frightened, before the two Ouchi masters could react, they were trapped in that cold light.
And the remaining Ouchi master was one step behind, and he couldn't help but be so frightened that he turned around and fled backwards in a panic as he watched his companion fall to the ground with blood from his neck splashed and died.
This allowed Chu Wenxuan to seize the opportunity, only to see a flash of cold light, and the long sword in his hand had already cut through the throat of the last Ouchi master.
Seeing his opponent fall down with a bloody fatal wound, Chu Wenxuan, who had been injured in many places, also stumbled suddenly and fell to the ground.
Han Bing hurriedly stepped forward and put his right palm on his spine to help him channel his qi back to the yuan.
After a while, Chu Wenxuan's pale face gradually regained its blood color, and he let out a long breath of turbidity.
He slowly opened his closed eyes, looked at the cold ice that had been standing in front of him, and barely showed a trace of a miserable smile, and said, "Why are you and my brother inevitably embarrassed when we meet recently?!"
Han Bing laughed and helped him up from the ground.
"This blames Brother Chu, you made friends by yourself, but you met such a troublemaker as my brother!"
Speaking of this, he put away his smile and said apologetically: "Speaking of which, today's disaster in the house is really caused by Han Bing alone. At the beginning, Brother Chu helped me in that martial arts competition, so he attracted the resentment of Zheng Yong's traitorous eunuch. Han Bing is really sorry in his heart!"
Chu Wenxuan smiled proudly: "What if you make friends accidentally? You brother, I, Chu Wenxuan, are still settled!"
Han Bing couldn't help grinning when he heard this, between brothers, many words just need to be put in their hearts, and they really don't need to be said.
"Brother Chu, Zheng Yong didn't succeed this time, so he must not be reconciled, and he will probably send someone again later. There is no danger to defend here, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time. You might as well let the people in the house take refuge elsewhere first, and then come back when the situation in the city is stable. β
It's just that my father has been bedridden for many days, and I'm afraid he can't stand the fatigue of running around. Chu Wenxuan sighed bitterly as he spoke.
Han Bing thought for a while and said, "Jingzhao Mansion is not far from here, and with the shrewdness of Duan Mansion Yin, he must have summoned all the officials to guard the mansion at this moment." Why don't Brother Chu take the people in the mansion there for a while?"
When Chu Wenxuan heard this, he also felt reasonable, so he nodded.
At this time, Han Bing's gaze swept over the corpses all over the ground, and his face couldn't help but show worry, and said, "But what I'm worried about is that Zheng Yong didn't succeed in Brother Chu's mansion, and he will go to Brother Xue and their mansions to commit murderββ"
Chu Wenxuan immediately frowned and said, "What you are worried about is indeed good! It's just that Shaolong and his mansions are scattered all over the city, and we don't know which place Zheng Yong's people will attack first, how should this be?"
"It's not as good as this. I am responsible for escorting Brother Chu and his family to Jingzhao Mansion. And Brother Chu, you sent out all the guards in the mansion, informed Brother Xue and them respectively, and quickly took your family out of the mansion to hide. β
Chu Wenxuan hurriedly selected a few people who were not injured from the dozen or so surviving guards and went to various mansions to deliver the message.
After the guards had been ordered to leave, he turned back and walked into the hall where he had been desperately guarding, to discuss the evacuation with his family members who were hiding inside.
Han Bing was not idle at this time. He first went to the outside of the Xinwu Marquis Mansion and found that there was indeed no Zheng Yong's person ambushed nearby, so he relieved his heart.
The masters who broke into the Hou Mansion have all been killed, and no one should go back to report to Zheng Yong.
The traitor probably didn't know what was happening here at this time, and was still proudly waiting for these Ouchi masters who had turned into dead people to bring him back the good news that he had succeeded.
After checking the situation outside the Hou Mansion, Han Bing began to clean up the corpses on the way from the backyard to the mansion gate.
Whether it was the people of the Hou Mansion or the masters of Ouchi, they were all removed by him from some places that would not be easily seen.
As soon as he finished cleaning up the corpses, he saw Chu Wenxuan walking out of the house with an old man with a white beard, followed by more than 20 women and children, all of whom should be the relatives of the Hou Mansion.
Seeing this, Han Bing hurriedly stepped forward to salute the old man, and said, "Han Bing has seen the old marquis of Chu!"
Although Marquis Chu had a sick face and couldn't even speak clearly, he still smiled and nodded at him.
Han Bing didn't say much anymore, turned around to lead the way, and the group followed behind him and hurriedly walked out of the mansion.
Chu Wenxuan didn't notice it at first, but he soon woke up. From the backyard to the gate of the house, although some traces of blood could still be seen along the way, not a single corpse was seen.
He couldn't help but gratefully glance at the tall back of Han Bing walking in front, knowing that this must be the work of this attentive young man, lest the inner family in the mansion be frightened by those terrible corpses.
The group of them went out of the mansion gate and went straight to the Jingzhao Mansion, which was two streets away.
Fortunately, it is far away from the palace and has not been affected by the rebels. There are no pedestrians on the street, but it is good for the cold ice to listen to the movement around him.
In this way, everyone went all the way to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion without any danger.
Han Bing slapped open the door of the mansion, and regardless of what the official who opened the door said that he would report to Lord Yin first, he directly pushed open the heavy door, allowing Chu Wenxuan and the others to enter.
Then, Han Bing finally let go of his hand that had been pushing the door tightly, and let out the big brother who was caught behind the door.
Seeing that the officer's face was left a bright red mark by the iron bolt behind the door, Han Bing, the bad boy, pretended to be surprised and stepped forward to apologize.
was so frightened that the official said "It's okay" repeatedly, and then ran away without a shadow, for fear that he would be caught by this plague god again, and torture him in another way.
Yin Duan Puqing of Jingzhao Mansion received the report from his subordinates and hurriedly greeted him.
This old loach behaved very righteously today, and after listening to Han Bing's brief statement, he didn't say a word, so he happily agreed to settle all the relatives of the Marquis of Xinwu Mansion in his own inner house.
When Han Bing saw Duan Puqing's performance, he understood that he was trying to make his position clear and firmly stood in the camp of Lord Zuo Xiang's side.
He couldn't help but secretly laugh to himself, if Duan Puqing found out that Lord Zuo Xiang and His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were not in the same camp, I don't know how Lord Yin would feel if he would never stand on the wrong side?
Duan Puqing didn't expect that this kid Han Bing was slandering himself in his heart, and he was still very enthusiastic to send someone to settle Chu Wenxuan and the others, and before he could talk to Han Bing, someone knocked on the door of his Jingzhao Mansion.
It turned out that it was the guards of the Hou Mansion who were sent by Chu Wenxuan to deliver messages to several other princes' mansions who came back one after another.
The news they brought back was quite gratifying, none of those mansions had been attacked, and after getting Chu Wenxuan's message, they had safely evacuated.
However, Chu Wenxuan's brows were furrowed all the time, he glanced at the cold ice that was also solemn, and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Han Bing stood up from his seat and said to Chu Wenxuan: "Brother Chu, don't worry, I'll go check the situation." β
Chu Wenxuan also immediately shook his head and said, "I'll go with you!"
Han Bing unceremoniously stepped forward and sat him down again, "Brother Chu's injuries are quite serious, and there will be a lot of inconvenience in his movements, so it is better for me to go and return quickly." β
After speaking, he didn't give Chu Wenxuan any chance to object, but just smiled at Duan Puqing on the side and said, "Lord Duan, please take care of it more here!"
Without waiting for Duan Puqing to answer, he hurriedly turned around and left.
Duan Puqing asked a little uncertainly, "Where did the cold ice boy go?"
"Wenshan Mansion. β
Chu Wenxuan looked at the wound on his thigh with annoyance, and sighed, "The guards I sent to the Wenshan Mansion to deliver the message have not returned yet. β
