Chapter 315 A good show
Kui Wenzhong followed closely behind and rushed to the east wing with Li Yuanfang.
I saw a masked man in purple holding two willow-leaf swords, surrounded by a group of Qianniu Guards including Li Lang, Yang Fang, and Ren Kuo.
The man in purple seemed to have some injuries on his body and could not use his full strength. The Qianniu Guards were not very powerful either. The two sides fought back and forth, and were evenly matched.
Li Yuanfang couldn't bear it when he saw this. He instantly pulled out the chain knife, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the masked man like lightning.
Kui Wenzhong was horrified, knowing that if Xiaofeng and Li Yuanfang faced off, he would most likely be no match for them and would be in danger of losing his life.
So he pretended to be brave and shouted loudly, but in fact he was secretly planning to create a chance for Xiaofeng to escape.
On the other side, in order to confuse Zhang Huan who was following him, Yuan Tiangang found Di Chun and talked nonsense with him, and asked for some paper and pen.
When Di Chun heard the noise of catching the assassin, he was worried about Di Renjie's safety, so he turned around and ran towards the place where the battle was taking place.
Yuan Tiangang frowned, unable to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, so he followed Di Chun to see what was going on.
However, Yuan Tiangang would not have noticed it, but once he saw it, he was shocked: "Why are they fighting in front of my own room?"
In front of the east wing, how could the masked man deal with the combined forces of Kui Wenzhong and Li Yuanfang? He could block the chain knife but not the bamboo tube knife. He was already in danger.
Fortunately, Kui Wenzhong was willing to let them go, and the two took the opportunity to secretly plan an escape strategy, making the battle situation even more subtle.
Li Yuanfang seemed increasingly anxious and uneasy, unwilling to delay any further.
He suddenly jumped up, and with a deafening shout, the mechanism in his hand activated, and the chain knife shot out like lightning at the back of the masked man.
The masked man was busy dealing with Kui Wen Zhong at the time, and had to abandon Kui Wen Zhong after hearing the shout.
She turned around quickly, swung the short knife in her hand back, and knocked the blade of the chain knife behind her off balance, but her body had already involuntarily flown in front of Kui Wenzhong.
Kui Wenzhong sighed inwardly, but was ultimately helpless and accurately struck the masked man from behind with a palm.
The masked man let out a shrill scream, the dagger slipped out of his hand, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground.
She struggled to get up, but a figure holding a steel knife appeared in front of her.
The masked man covered his chest and raised his head. It was Li Yuanfang.
Kui Wenzhong had a cold expression on his face at this time. He came to Li Yuanfang and the two exchanged glances.
Li Yuanfang said coldly: "Now, it's time for us to see your true face."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and removed the black cloth covering the masked man's face.
The masked man covered his chest and raised his head with difficulty, revealing the face hidden by the black cloth - it was Xiaomei.
The moment Li Yuanfang saw this face, he gasped: "It's you!"
Xiaomei raised her head slowly, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
Kui Wenzhong didn't know how to start, so he pondered for a moment and finally said, "Yuan Fang, I told you that the Blood Spirits are a pair of twin sisters. It seems that she is one of them, but I don't know if she is the older sister or the younger sister."
"But I never thought that Xiaomei would be a blood spirit!" Kui Wenzhong shook his head and sighed, as if he was heartbroken.
"That's right," Li Yuanfang said, as if he had suddenly realized something. He then pressed Xiaomei, "Are you the elder sister or the younger sister?"
Xiaomei just glared at Li Yuanfang and refused to answer.
Yuan Tiangang was watching this scene not far away, with a look of confusion on his face. He really didn't understand what was going on.
Just at this moment, another "Xiaomei" holding two knives and holding Di Renjie hostage slowly walked over.
"Let my sister go!"
Li Yuanfang and Di Chun were shocked upon seeing this: "Sir!!!" Seeing Di Renjie being held hostage, Li Yuanfang hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"Xiaomei" on the opposite side immediately stopped her: "Stand where you are!"
Li Yuanfang froze for a moment, and stopped helplessly: "Put down the knife, and I will let you sisters go!"
Xiaofeng, who was lying on the ground, saw her sister appear with Di Renjie hostage. Li Yuanfang was afraid of the consequences and immediately staggered to his feet and came behind his sister.
Seeing that her sister was fine, the elder sister breathed a sigh of relief and said, "General Li, do you think I would be so childish?"
Li Yuanfang's face turned pale. He tried his best to suppress his anger and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "So what do you want?"
Xiaomei replied immediately: "Let the Qianniu Guards disperse! Prepare two fast horses for us sisters! Send us out of Di Mansion, and I will naturally return Di Renjie to you intact!"
"Impossible! What if you go back on your word?" Di Chun, who was standing aside, found it difficult to accept Xiaomei's condition and immediately objected.
Di Renjie was held at knifepoint, but he remained calm and said with a smile, "You sisters know very well that the East Palace is now a place of trouble."
"Even if you run back, you will still die. The snake spirit is doing evil and will eventually be destroyed. Why bother working for it? If you let me go now, I promise to let bygones be bygones. How about that?"
When Kui Wenzhong and Yuan Tiangang heard Di Renjie's misleading remarks, they immediately felt nervous, fearing that Xiaomei would agree.
However, Xiaomei remained unmoved. Instead, she put the blade closer to Di Renjie's neck and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and do as I say!"
Seeing this, Di Chun anxiously shouted again: "Master!" The atmosphere became extremely tense.
However, Di Renjie seemed to have a plan in mind and continued to persuade: "You have to think carefully. You are now surrounded, especially your sister is seriously injured. If a conflict breaks out, it will be difficult for you to survive. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about your sister!"
When Xiaomei heard what Di Renjie said, a look of hesitation appeared on her face, and she seemed quite tempted.
Kui Wenzhong was very anxious, while Yuan Tiangang took a deep breath, slowly moved backwards, and prepared to escape.
Just at this moment, Yuan Tiangang inadvertently glanced at a corner, his pupils suddenly shrank, his heart was chilled, and while everyone was not paying attention, he ran away three times faster.
Di Renjie continued his verbal attack: "I never break my promises, you should think about it carefully!"
Xiaomei's breathing became heavy, and she seemed to be going through a fierce psychological struggle.
Xiao Feng whispered beside her: "Sister, we can't let His Highness down."
Xiaomei's expression immediately became firm when she heard this, and she repeated: "Yes, I cannot betray His Highness!"
When Li Yuanfang and Di Chun heard this, their faces changed drastically, but Kui Wenzhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Yuan Tiangang ignored these words and had already made up his mind to slip away.
"Either let us go, or we will all die together..."
However, before the word "broken" came out, Xiaomei showed a look of pain on her face and fell to the ground.
Xiaofeng was shocked to see her sister fall to the ground for no apparent reason. She immediately picked up Xiaomei and checked on her. "Sister! What happened to you?"
Not far away, Ruyan showed up holding an invisible needle.
Li Yuanfang was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately flew over and grabbed Di Renjie away, separating him from Xiaomei and her sisters.
Kui Wenzhong was stunned by this sudden change. He stood there for a while without any reaction.
Xiaofeng cried sadly, "Sister! What's wrong with you? Sister, say something!"
It seemed that Xiaomei had been killed by the invisible needle.
