Chapter 408
In the underground hall, the lights flickered and countless coffins were placed haphazardly. In the corner of the hall, Zhang Xiaohua stood quietly. He was truly exhausted, not physically, but mentally.
Looking around the messy hall, Zhang Xiaohua came to Little Orange. At this time, the underground hall couldn't see the time outside, but Zhang Xiaohua knew that it was close to midnight. Even if he could take Little Orange out now, he would soon fall asleep. It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it was extremely cold outside. His body was naturally fine, but how could Little Orange be fine?
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua looked around and walked to the few remaining jade coffins that still had lids. He reached out to open one and jumped in. He then closed the lid and closed his eyes to cultivate.
The next day, when Zhang Xiaohua woke up, he wasn't in a hurry to get out of the coffin. First, he used his divine sense to observe the entire underground hall, then to check the ground. There was nothing out of the ordinary. This hall must be an important place in the gang, and no one would rashly disturb it without the orders of the gang master.
Just as Zhang Xiaohua was about to continue releasing his Spiritual Consciousness, he heard the sounds of fighting in his ears.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled. This Yu Deyi had indeed called for reinforcements from Lu Town.
His divine sense stretched out like a waterfall. At the front gate of the manor, there were over a hundred soldiers with weapons in their hands. They were fighting against a dozen burly men in martial attire. They were shouting as they attacked the manor. Inside the manor, there were also dozens of gang members with weapons in their hands. Zhang Xiaohua saw Brother Zhang, Old Seven, and the others yesterday. They were also fighting against the soldiers. Banner Leader Gao was also holding a long sword and fighting against a few men in martial attire. The other Banner Leaders weren't among them, so they must have left yesterday.
But even so, the soldiers did not have the upper hand. Instead, they were at a disadvantage. Many soldiers screamed as they died under the blades of the gang members. Not far away, Yu Deyi, who was supervising the battle, and another middle-aged man dressed in an official's uniform looked worried. Yu Deyi's eyes were not looking at the battle in front of the gate. She kept looking inside the manor, as if she was anticipating something.
The middle-aged man in the official's robe urged anxiously from the side.
Yu Deyi became even more anxious.
When Zhang Xiaohua saw the situation, she knew that the soldiers could not be compared to these brave and fierce men who had been licking blood on the blade all year round in Jianghu. Even if the soldiers only attacked the front of the manor and did not care about the other three sides of the manor, it was obvious that these Jianghu gangs were aware of the difficulties and retreat. If they escaped from other places, the authorities would not pursue the matter. However, the leader of this manor had already been turned into ashes by Zhang Xiaohua last night. How could he still give orders?
Without the order to retreat, the gang members naturally did not dare to retreat rashly. Moreover, in this situation where they had the upper hand, how could the Jianghu gang members escape?
Seeing the situation, Zhang Xiaohua did not dare to delay. She jumped out of the coffin and came to Little Orange. She reached out her hands and carried Little Orange in her arms. She made a hand seal and escaped through the earth.
When she escaped from the manor, she released her divine sense. That big guy actually ran to the side door. Fortunately, it was not far from the front. She used the levitation technique and soon arrived beside the Odd Beast, Huanhuan.
When Huanhuan saw Zhang Xiaohua, it squealed excitedly. Zhang Xiaohua patted its bald horn and placed Little Orange on the Odd Beast's back. She then took the long sword from its back and returned to the front door.
She walked to the back of Yu Deyi. Although Yu Deyi was well-versed in martial arts, his attention was focused on the manor in front of him. How could he care about the back?
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Brother Yi, you are early."
"Aiyo."
When Yu Deyi heard the voice, he was overjoyed. He finally found his savior. He quickly turned around and said, "Hero, where have you been?
I thought you were at the manor. Why … why are you only here now? "
"Cough, cough." Zhang Xiaohua coughed for a while and scratched her head. She said, "Well, I woke up too late last night. I thought you would arrive late in the morning, so … I overslept!"
"Plop." Yu Deyi could not sit still and fell from the red date horse. "What kind of people are these? I did not sleep at all last night and ran here and there. It was not easy to persuade the soldiers of Lu Town to send reinforcements here. You overslept."
However, Yu Deyi did not know Zhang Xiaohua's depth and did not dare to offend her. He climbed up from the ground and said, "Hero, I wonder how your investigation went yesterday?
It seems that we are unable to break in. If your reinforcements do not come, I am afraid … "
Sigh, Yu Deyi was still thinking about the so-called reinforcements that Zhang Xiaohua made up yesterday.
At this time, the officer beside Yu Deyi also rode forward. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua's face was covered, he was already unhappy. When he heard Zhang Xiaohua's lazy reply, he was even angrier. He came forward and did not cup his hands. He asked, "Hero, I heard from Young Master Yu that you and your reinforcements have found out that there are remnants of the Jianghu gang in this manor. They actually kidnapped Young Master Yu's niece. It is not that I do not trust you, but you have no evidence. If you do not find any results this time, you will be punished severely.
Moreover … "The officer raised his eyes and looked at the battle in front of him. He frowned deeply and said," My brothers have suffered heavy casualties. It seems that we may not be able to safely take down the manor. If you lie about the military situation and lure us into a trap, I will immediately return to Lu Town and report to my superiors. I will definitely issue an arrest warrant. Even if you are a member of the Jianghu gang, I will still arrest you and bring you to justice to avenge my brothers! "
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was slightly angered. "This young master gave you the merit for free. Instead of thanking me, you are noisy and threatening this hero. Who do you think you are?"
Then, he stared at that guy and spat on the ground.
He raised his voice and laughed, "Brother Yi, who is this?
Why did he call you Young Master Yu? "
Yu Deyi awkwardly said, "This … please forgive me, hero. My name is Yu Deyi. I didn't want to deceive you, hero. But at that time, I saw that you were in a special situation, so I had no choice but to leave some leeway."
Zhang Xiaohua laughed and used his hands to dig his ears. He looked at the white clouds in the sky and said, "Oh, so that's the case. Ai, what is this, I came out early in the morning for a walk. I haven't washed my face and brushed my teeth. What are you guys talking about? It's too noisy, I don't understand. Forget it, I'll go eat some soup dumplings first. After filling my stomach, I'll go back to sleep.
After saying that, he patted his butt and turned to leave.
Yu Deyi was shocked. He dared to go into danger alone because of this so-called hero. Now that this guy patted his butt and left, what should he do?
Not to mention his little niece's life, even his own safety would not be guaranteed. He did not care much and hurried forward. He pulled Zhang Xiaohua's arm and said, "Hero, hero, you are a great person. Please don't lower yourself to our level. We are not people of Jianghu. It's inevitable that our words will not enter your ears. You can just treat it as a wave of p. When the wind blows, it will disperse."
The official's face was also green and red. He knew that people of Jianghu were unruly and had strange temperaments. They would draw their swords at the slightest wrong. But seeing this person's behavior just now, he was really unhappy. Moreover, the situation in front of him was indeed unfavorable. He only complained a little. But after all, he was the official's representative and had always been respected. Just now, he was just routinely showing his authority. Who would have thought that such a situation would occur?
Now, he was already riding a tiger and could not get off.
Zhang Xiaohua only blindly looked at the faint white clouds in the sky, as if there were fairies lying on them. He did not pay much attention to Yu Deyi. When the official saw this, he gritted his teeth and turned over to dismount. He walked to Zhang Xiaohua and deeply bowed, "This one is Le Zhichun. Just now, I really offended hero. Please forgive me. It's because this subordinate's brothers have suffered heavy casualties that I am in a bad mood."
Zhang Xiaohua sneered and said, "If you were really thinking for this subordinate's brothers, why would you treat the person who came to help you like this?
You don't need to think about your little schemes. This old man has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. How could I not know?
Sigh, forget it. This old man is also a soft-hearted person. After all, you are protecting the peace of this place. If I don't reach out to help you, who should I help? "
After he finished speaking, he did not help him up. Instead, he exerted a little force on his feet and flew into the air. Like a large bird, he flew towards the group of people in front of him.
When Zhang Xiaohua was wasting time with Yu Deyi and Le Zhichun, he had already used his divine sense to see through the group of people in front of him. He did not attack the small fries like Brother Zhang. His sword was pointed at Bannerman Gao, who was surrounded by several people. Yes, it should be Manager Gao.
Manager Gao was also very powerful. He was not at a disadvantage when fighting against several people with his sword. He even had two people on top of him. When Manager Gao saw a masked person holding a sword and rushing towards him, he saw that the masked person's lightness skill was extremely high. He already had a bad feeling in his heart. When Zhang Xiaohua raised his sword and slashed at him, Manager Gao solemnly circulated his internal energy to meet the attack with all his might.
But he didn't. However, with the vice commander's profound martial arts, he couldn't clearly hear the ferocious wind coming from the sword. When the incomparably ferocious force came from the sword, he had no choice but to be smashed into a bloody mess.
Manager Gao was lying on the ground. He still did not understand how the strength of the sword was so great. It was not something that his internal energy could match. Furthermore, he had only been a manager for a day. Yes, it was just the Deputy Commander's words. There was no formal writing!
When the experts surrounding Manager Gao saw this, they were all dumbfounded. They really did not expect that this masked person would be able to defeat the expert that they had been unable to attack for a long time with just one slash.
Zhang Xiaohua's movements did not stop. After a few leaps, he once again clashed with the so-called Steward Qi. Steward Qi, on the other hand, had some tricks up his sleeves. In just one move, he had actually managed to dissipate a large portion of the ten thousand kilograms of force, barely dodging it. Unfortunately, he was unable to dodge the second sword no matter what. Zhang Xiaohua straightened his body and thrust forward, actually smashing Steward Qi's right arm.
