Twenty-eight: Burning the Xu Mansion(1/2)

The night wind is blowing, and the torches illuminate the Wave Garden as brightly as day.

Everyone at the scene had a solemn expression on their faces. In just half a month, the Xu family had been attacked and killed many times.

This time it was even aimed at Xu Fan of Xu Mansion.

Xu Ji, Xu Xiang and others noticed that there was a girl in a white dress next to Xu Fan. Xu Fan did not introduce her, and it was difficult for them to speak.

"Come here, lock these people up and send them to Guangling Mansion Office early tomorrow morning." Xu Fan pointed to the black-clothed and masked assassin on the ground who was still suffering from pain.

Soon, dozens of black-clothed and masked men were all tied up and dragged down by Xu Mansion's servants.

The attack and killing tonight shocked some of the new servants who entered the Xu Mansion. They had only heard that the Xu Mansion was being targeted before, but they did not expect that they would actually see it with their own eyes tonight.

Bai Luohe looked at the back of Xu Mansion's servants, who were tying up the masked killer in black and leaving, and frowned a little more.

"What's wrong?" Xu Fan turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"I always feel like something is weird, but I can't remember what's wrong for a while." Bai Luohe frowned and looked at the dark night sky around her, the vigilance and intuition in her heart accelerated to remind her.

Lu Jia personally led the team, but she did not see Lu Feibai, following Xu Fan towards the pavilion behind him.

Halfway through the journey, Bai Luohe's heart kept sinking, making her feel uneasy.

"Master Ji, Master Xiang, please take the others down first. I'm fine here."

Xu Fan noticed the worried look on Bai Luohe's face from the corner of his eye, and said to the two old men and Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui on the other side, "Two uncles, you go down to rest with me first."

"This... you were just attacked and killed, what can we do..."

Before Xu Wenshu could finish his words, various sounds of fighting and cries for help came from the Xu Mansion, and another large piece of fire shot up into the sky.

Farther away, someone could faintly be heard shouting again, "The rebels from the Yin-Yang Sect have broken into the Xu Mansion, please save them!"

Various noises sounded from all directions in Xu Mansion, from far to near.

The servants, maids, and servants of the Xu Mansion were so frightened that they hid in hiding. Only some of the servants raised by the Xu Mansion were left to resist the men in black who rushed into the mansion.

In the Wave Courtyard, Xu Ji, Xu Xiang, Xu Wenshu, and Xu Yuhui had horrified expressions on their faces. They did not expect that in an instant, the Xu Mansion would be plunged into a sea of ​​fire.

The other servants, servants, servants, and maids present all had pale faces and panic in their eyes, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

Standing on the platform on the third floor of the attic, Xu Fan could clearly see the fire and thick smoke suddenly erupting all over the mansion, as well as the shrill screams of the servants in the mansion.

"Snapped!"

Xu Fan slapped the guardrail in front of him hard with a cold murderous intent in his eyes.

At this time, he had already thought clearly. "In order to win the Xu Mansion, the Yin and Yang Sect will actually be ruthless next time."

Looking at the sky full of fire, there were nearly a hundred auras in the distance running through the Xu Mansion, and no one was alive wherever they passed.

"This is the back-up plan they prepared tonight." Bai Luohe's beautiful eyes reflected the sky full of fire, and Bingshan's beautiful face also changed at this time. Instead of the frost of the past, it was more frightened.

There are thousands of people in the Xu Mansion, and the Yin Yang Sect is going to kill them all.

"Let everyone come to the Wave Court to meet up!" Xu Fan stood in front of the platform and shouted to the people below.

At this moment, he can't go anywhere and can only stay here. At least he can protect everyone in the Xu family in the Wave Courtyard.

Zi'er, who was knocked unconscious by Xu Fan before, was also awakened by him and took care of Xu Ji and Xu Xiang in the attic.

In the main hall on the first floor, Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui had anxious faces. There were also their wives and children in the house, and they no longer knew whether they were alive or dead.

"Go quickly, you all go, quickly get the madam, young master and young ladies here."

"Go quickly!"

Xu Wenshu ordered to his close servants outside the main hall.

On the other side, Xu Yuhui also made low-level arrangements to his personal followers.

Not long after, two groups of people quietly rushed out of the Wave Courtyard and rushed toward the courtyards of Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui in the third and fourth rooms along the corner door of the side courtyard.

Shouts, cries for help, and cries floated out of the Xu Mansion in the night wind.

When the patrol officer saw the fire, he hurried towards the Xu Mansion, but was stopped halfway by Diaoyutai's blue-striped fish bag.

"Diaoyutai has taken over the affairs of the Xu Mansion. Please step back."

The officers and soldiers of the street patrol and the city defense battalion had no choice but to leave their names in anger. They were just local soldiers. How could they dare to disobey the orders of Diaoyutai? Is it too long to live?

In Guangling City, all the wealthy businessmen and officials climbed onto the walls of their courtyards or attics and looked towards the Xu Mansion, their eyes filled with the light of fire rising to the sky.

"The Xu family is finished!"

"I don't know who I offended, but the Xu family suffered such a misfortune!"

In the backyard of Guangling Mansion, Wang Wenhua, who was trying new tricks with his concubine, was impatient by the knock on the door and shouted angrily, "What happened again?"

"My lord, my lord, it's not good... there's a fire in the Xu Mansion again."

Hearing the word "Xu Mansion", Wang Wenhua shivered. He hurriedly opened the quilt, put on his clothes and robes and ran towards the door, "Go! Send someone to take a look!"

"Where is Mr. Wen? Go find Mr. Wen quickly!"

In Guangling City, there were noises in many places, and suddenly, the Yin Yang Gate rebels appeared everywhere. The policemen patrolling the streets and the officers and soldiers of the city defense camp were too busy running around in the city to pay attention to the Xu Mansion.

The fire in the Xu Mansion also became more and more intense. The Xu family members who were buried in the sea of ​​​​fire were covered in flames, and the screams continued to echo in the sky above the Xu Mansion.

Mixed with it were the cries of women, the cries of children, and the wails of old women. All kinds of sounds filled the huge sea of ​​​​fire in the Xu Mansion.

Outside the Xu Mansion, in a high attic, Lu Baishan, Wen Hao and others were quietly watching the fire in the Xu Mansion, with excitement and joy in their eyes.

The Xu Mansion was ransacked by the Yin-Yang Gate rebels. Lu Baishan, a member of the Diaoyutai Household, led his troops to put down the rebellion. The Yin-Yang Gate rebels ambushed and executed Xu Mansion's legitimate son Xu Fan, as well as the elders and children in the mansion, who were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

"Where is Protector Lu?" Wen Hao waited in the attic for a long time, but did not wait for Lu Jia, and asked with a frown.

Wen San and Wen Si shook their heads at the same time. When they led Lu Baishan and rushed out of Xu Mansion, they did not see Lu Jia. The two of them left in a hurry and did not pay attention to Lu Jia.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Maybe Lu Jia is also watching Xu Mansion somewhere at this time." Lu Baishan noticed Wen Hao's gloomy look and said with relief.

The fire almost spread to the entire Xu Mansion, and the trace of resentment in Lu Baishan's heart also dissipated a lot. Thinking back to Xu Fan's light finger, he was extremely shocked.

"It's time for our people to show up!"

Wen Hao picked up the tea cup, sat on the attic platform, crossed his legs, looked at the sea of ​​fire in the distance, and smiled.

"Well, if we go late, the prefect Wang will have to write to the governor again."

A hint of disdain appeared on the corner of Lu Baishan's mouth, and he whispered a few words to a confidant beside him, the blue-striped fish bag, who hurried towards the building.

Not long after, soldiers from Jiangnan Province and the blue-striped fish bag from Diaoyutai rushed into the sea of ​​flames of Xu Mansion.

Another burst of fighting and shouting came from the sea of ​​​​fire.

Thousands of soldiers and more than a dozen blue-striped fish bags and six silver-striped fish bags quickly surrounded and suppressed the Yin-Yang Sect rebels in Xu's mansion.

At this time, there were many people outside the Wave Court running toward the island in the middle of the lake under the desperate protection of their servants.

"Mom, mother, it hurts!"

A boy of six or seven years old cried in the arms of a beautiful woman wearing only a single piece of clothing.

A corner of the beautiful woman's robe was still tightly grasped by an eight or nine-year-old girl.

The girl's pink and jade-carved face had already been washed away by two lines of tears, and the embroidered shoe on one foot was lost at some point.

The seven or eight servants behind him kept falling down, leaving only five people protecting the woman, a boy and a girl.

The beautiful woman is Xu Wenshu's wife, Mrs. Liu, and the two children beside her are her and Xu Wenshu's children.

Mrs. Liu hugged her son and ran as hard as she could, speaking firmly, "Take care of your son, don't cry. We will find his father soon."

As for Xu Wenshu's concubines, concubines, and concubines, no one knows where they have gone at this time.

"Madam, leave quickly!" the last Xu Mansion servant shouted loudly.

The next moment, a long sword pierced through his chest and abdomen, and the guard was kicked and flew into the grass on the verandah path. He did not know whether he was alive or dead.

"I didn't expect you guys to run so fast!"

The masked man in black lifted his belt, which he had obviously tied carelessly. He flicked his right hand hard and dropped the blood beads on the long sword in his hand to the ground, which was extremely eye-catching in the surrounding firelight.

"Mom!" The girl beside Mrs. Liu subconsciously turned around and saw the scene where the subordinate fell to the ground, and cried out in fright.

"Don't be afraid! Mom is here." Mrs. Liu comforted her softly, with a touch of warmth in her eyes.

"Madam, leave quickly!"

Two more servants broke away from the guards and rushed towards the man in black.

Mrs. Liu did not dare to hesitate any longer, hugged her son tightly, and rushed towards the Wave Courtyard with her daughter. After passing a side courtyard, you could see the corner gate of the Wave Courtyard.

As the sound of fierce sword fighting behind her became farther and farther away, Mrs. Liu and her two children, protected by the remaining two servants, finally passed through a rockery verandah, rushed into the corner gate at sight, and arrived at the side courtyard.

.

They ran regardless, Mrs. Liu completely ignored the fact that the white clothes she wore revealed a large area, and the girl's feet were dripping with blood, but her little face showed a look of perseverance, biting her lip, trying not to become a burden to her mother.

.

Mrs. Liu's arms were trembling constantly. She was used to being pampered, but she was obviously exhausted from holding her son at this moment.

"Madam, let me hold the young master."
