Chapter 1256

"It is not that we are looking for trouble with Duan Yu, but that he was the one who looked for trouble with us first," Fan Xian concluded.

Wei Xun took a deep breath and nodded.

Perhaps Fan Xian was right.

In the front courtyard of a three-entry mansion in the east of Anyi County.

Wang Hunu was holding a horizontal blade and waving it vigorously.

"Hey!"

Wang Hunu gave a loud shout, and the horizontal blade in his hand slashed toward the bamboo armor arranged in front of him.

As the blade fell, only a crisp "crack" was heard.

The horizontal blade broke in response.

Wang Hunu frowned immediately, looking at the broken horizontal blade in his hand, and his eyebrows also instantly knitted together.

"How did it break?" Wang Hunu frowned and said.

Just then, a young man walked over from the side.

The young man looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and his appearance was five or six parts similar to Wang Hunu, only his face still had the immaturity that had not yet faded.

"Brother, Brother Shitou has already led troops out of the city to the salt pond," Wang Erhu said.

Wang Hunu threw the broken horizontal blade aside and nodded slightly.

Since the two came to Anyi, they had been taking turns guarding the salt pond for one day each.

The salt pond was extremely important to Liangzhou, so the two never dared to be careless.

Whether it was windy or rainy, they would absolutely never neglect their duties.

"Erhu, go and pack up, and bring everything I asked you to prepare yesterday."

"Your Brother Shitou's wife just gave birth to a son, and your Brother Shitou went out on duty, so let's go over and take care of things," Wang Hunu said.

Wang Erhu nodded immediately: "Alright, Brother, I'll go prepare right away."

With that, Wang Erhu ran away.

Before long, Wang Hunu took more than a dozen attendants and walked toward Tie Shitou's home.

The two houses were adjacent, with only an alleyway in between.

It was just that the front door of Wang Hunu's house faced the back door of Tie Shitou's house.

If one didn't go through the back door, one would have to go around the street in front.

After going around the corner of the alley in front, Wang Hunu took a group of attendants to the front door of Tie Shitou's house.

At this time, the main gate was closed tightly.

There were also guards on duty at the door.

"Commander Wang, Commander Wang."

Seeing that it was Wang Hunu, the guard immediately saluted Wang Hunu and opened the mansion gate.

"You all go about your business, I'm going to the back residence," Wang Hunu said to the guard.

The guards nodded immediately and closed the mansion gate.

Wang Hunu took his younger brother Wang Erhu and carried the gifts toward the backyard.

But before the two could reach the backyard.

Bursts of hurried hoofbeats suddenly came from the front courtyard.

Immediately afterward, Wang Hunu heard shouts coming from outside the courtyard gate.

Wang Hunu, who had stopped, turned to look in the direction of the mansion gate.

Could it be that Tie Shitou had returned?

"Stop!"

"Stop and dismount!"

Shouts came from outside the door.

Wrong!

It wasn't Tie Shitou!

If it were Tie Shitou, how could his own guards not recognize him!

Just when Wang Hunu was wondering who it was, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door.

"I am Ji Ling, the Vice-General of the Tiger Bravery Army. Several extremely important imperial criminals entered Anyi County yesterday. We are ordered to clear and investigate. Anyone who resists will be treated as an accomplice of the criminals!"

Wang Hunu's expression changed.

Ji Ling!

Ordered to clear and investigate?

Bullshit!

Even if they were clearing and investigating, could they clear and investigate their heads?

Why wasn't there any talk of clearing and investigating last night?

Besides, this clearing and investigating wouldn't just be to clear and investigate this one family.

Abnormalities must have demons.

"Erhu, take people to lock the door, let's see who dares to come in!"

Wang Hunu gave a loud shout and directly drew the horizontal blade from his waist.

Swish!

The attendants following Wang Hunu also immediately drew the horizontal blades from their waists.

And the guards in Tie Shitou's mansion also rushed toward the direction of the main gate.

For a time, the sound of weapons continued in the courtyard.

Ji Ling, who was riding on a horse outside the door, clearly heard the sound inside the courtyard.

Ji Ling on the horse was also somewhat anxious.

He had already been severely scolded by Yuan Shu yesterday and ended up guarding the gate.

If he couldn't complete the mission today, he would probably be not far from being finished.

Looking at the tightly closed mansion gate, Ji Ling, riding on the horse, gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Go!"

"Break the door for me!"

"Anyone who dares to block will be captured, and anyone who resists will be killed!"

Ji Ling brought several hundred people, and at this time, the alley had been completely blocked.

After this order was given, dozens of people rushed forward in an instant.

"Stop, you dare!"

The guards guarding in front of Tie Shitou's mansion gate shouted loudly.

However, it was of no use at all.

The soldiers behind Ji Ling swarmed up, directly pressing several guards to the ground, and then began to ram the mansion gate.

Inside the gate, Wang Hunu led a group of attendants to hold the mansion gate.

Looking through the crack in the door, he saw everything that was happening outside.

"Yuan Shu... does he want to die!"

Wang Hunu was both angry and anxious!

"Brother, they are coming for you and Brother Shitou!" Wang Erhu, who was on the side, said.

Wang Hunu nodded.

Although he didn't know why Yuan Shu dared to do this, there must be a reason.

"Your Brother Shitou is outside the city, and our troops are also outside the city; as long as we get out of the city, we will be safe. Erhu, take people to the back residence, bring Brother Shitou's wife and eldest nephew, and we will leave from the back door, then leave the city."

Wang Hunu said while holding his blade and turning to walk toward the back residence.

Several attendants followed him toward the back residence.

And outside the mansion gate, the Tiger Bravery Army under Ji Ling had also begun to ram the mansion gate.

Both sides were almost racing against time! ===== CHAPTER 1258 =====
