Chapter 278: Peerless Pair

Killing a treacherous minister would make everyone in the world admire Lin Fan's chivalry.

But if he killed Zhao Gou, the trouble would be huge, and the entire Southern Song would become Lin Fan's enemy.

"Lin Fan, you must be extremely cautious about this matter. Qin Gui is one thing, but Zhao Gou must absolutely not be killed. If you kill him, the trouble will be enormous!"

"Let's see how things go. Zhao Gou is not my target, but if he doesn't know what's good for him, then he can't blame me. If I really have to kill him, I'm not afraid."

Lin Fan drank some wine, then signaled for Li Qingluo to take Little Dragon Maiden and the others to another table to eat.

"How did Qin Gui provoke you that you want to kill him? Do you need our help?"

Seeing that Lin Fan had made up his mind, Lu Xiaofeng stopped trying to persuade him. He didn't want to move against Zhao Gou, but he could lend a hand with Qin Gui.

"No need. Although Qin Gui is a treacherous minister, Zhao Gou relies on him heavily. If I kill him, Zhao Gou will inevitably be furious. I'm not afraid, but I don't want to implicate you, especially Hua Manlou. The Hua family has a large business; offending the Southern Song imperial court is not a good thing."

"Lin Fan, your words underestimate me, Hua Manlou. You let me see the light again; the Hua family is eternally grateful. As long as you have an order, even if it means offending the Southern Song imperial court, the Hua family will not shirk."

Hua Manlou stood up and said solemnly.

"That's not necessary. The Southern Song is not a threat to me, and I'm not at the end of my rope. If I have a need, I will definitely ask you!"

Lin Fan signaled for him to sit down. He couldn't use the Hua family's influence, and there was no need to get them involved.

"Since that's the case, if you have a need, you must speak up. And my Hua family has properties in Shangjing City and understands the news of the major forces there. If you have a need, you can order us."

Seeing that Lin Fan truly didn't need his help, Hua Manlou didn't force it, but he still wanted to contribute and provide some intelligence on the forces to Lin Fan.

"Then many thanks!"

In fact, Lin Fan didn't need anything; he just needed to be invincible and sweep everything away. But since they were so sincere, he couldn't refuse again and again.

Afterward, the three of them drank and chatted about interesting Jianghu events.

After they were full, they set off together, as everyone's destination was Shangjing City.

"Lin Fan, you have these three peerless horses, so why is this young lady riding an ordinary horse? This is clearly favoritism."

As the group embarked on their journey, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Lin Fan's Night-Illuminating Jade Lion, Claw-Yellow Flying Lightning, and Cloud-Stepping Black Horse with envy. But when he noticed Yunluo's horse, he became curious.

"Ah, she's new, and I haven't had time to equip her yet. Lu Xiaofeng, don't you love meddling in other people's business? How about helping me find a good horse?"

"I do love meddling, but I'm not a horse groom. If you ask me to find a horse, I definitely won't be able to find one. But if you ask me to help you find women, I'm quite familiar with all the major brothels!"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly. He liked meddling because he liked solving difficult problems, not because he liked taking on bitter tasks.

"Four-Eyebrows, what nonsense are you spouting? I am a princess! You actually compare me to brothel women. Do you believe I'll have my Imperial Brother the Emperor cut off your head?"

Yunluo was so angry her face turned red. This Lu Xiaofeng had no filter; she really wanted to sew his mouth shut with a needle.

"So you are a princess. Please forgive Lu Xiaofeng for his rudeness. I spoke without thinking; don't blame me, don't blame me!"

Lu Xiaofeng felt awkward. He was used to joking with friends and had offended her with a slip of the tongue.

"Hmph!"

"Lin Fan, where did you kidnap a princess from? Which country is she from? I know it's definitely not the Southern Song."

"Quick, quick, quick, they are right in front, surround them."

Just as Lin Fan was about to answer, a group of people on horseback surrounded them.

"Lu Xiaofeng, did you cause trouble again?"

Hua Manlou looked at the group in front of him and found that there were actually two Grandmasters among them, leaving him speechless. Only someone like Lu Xiaofeng would cause such big trouble.

"Ah? Are they here for me? But I've been quite well-behaved lately. And haven't we been together this whole time?"

"It has nothing to do with Lu Xiaofeng. I think they are here for Yunluo."

"Good, hand over Princess Yunluo!"

One of the two leading Grandmasters spoke up.

"Are you... Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami?"

Lin Fan looked at his appearance as a Fusang wanderer and asked suspiciously.

"You know me? Hand over Princess Yunluo!"

"Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, hand over your daughters Yagyu Xueji and Yagyu Piaoxu!"

Lin Fan's words shocked everyone present. Someone asked for Princess Yunluo, and not only did he refuse, but he also demanded the man's two daughters.

"Lin Fan, I finally know why you have so many women. It turns out they were all snatched by you?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and sighed. Lin Fan was truly too terrifying; if they didn't agree, he would demand their daughters, and he wanted two at once. Too ruthless!

"You actually know me so well? You cannot be left alive!"

Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami stepped on his horse's back with his left foot, drew the Fusang long sword from his saddle, and attacked Lin Fan.

"Lin Fan, be careful!"

Lu Xiaofeng tapped his feet and flew up, pointing a finger at the side of Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami's long sword, and then the two began to fight.

"God-Killing One-Blade Slash!"

"Spirit-Rhino Finger!"

Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami slashed down with his sword, but it was clamped by Lu Xiaofeng's two fingers.

"Fire Cloud Blade!"

The other Grandmaster saw the stalemate and launched a sneak attack on Lu Xiaofeng.

Being able to use the Fire Cloud Blade, he should be the fake Wuwu from the original story, whose true identity was a member of the Giant Whale Gang.

"Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeves!"

Hua Manlou naturally wouldn't sit by and watch Lu Xiaofeng be sneak-attacked; he flew out and blocked the sneak attack for Lu Xiaofeng.

Then the four of them fought together, and the situation became somewhat chaotic for a moment.

Lin Fan was watching the show with interest, but he didn't expect the remaining enemies not to let him be idle; they surrounded him one after another.

Seeing this, Little Dragon Maiden threw out the white silk in her hand, which had a golden bell tied to the end. Seeing this, Li Mo Chou smiled and also threw out a red silk with a silver bell tied to the end.

The sisters joined forces and used the white and red silks to face the enemies.

Now Lin Fan had no interest in watching Lu Xiaofeng and the others fight; clearly, Li Mo Chou and Little Dragon Maiden were better to watch.

Especially Little Dragon Maiden in white using the white silk, and Li Mo Chou in red using the red silk—the peerless pair moving against people was simply as beautiful as a painting.

"Good, good, good!"

Lin Fan clapped repeatedly, cheering for Little Dragon Maiden and Li Mo Chou.

"Lin Fan, stop looking over there. Don't you see your women every day? Come and help!"

Lu Xiaofeng was speechless. He and Hua Manlou were both Early Grandmasters and weren't at a disadvantage against the Mid-Grandmaster Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami and fake Wuwu, but they couldn't resolve the situation either. They couldn't fight them for days and nights, could they?
