Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 231 Saving the Wife - Multiple Assassinations

Just half a quarter of an hour after the Du family left the inn, another group of yamen runners arrived and carried the injured away one by one.

A man dressed as a legal advisor walked up to the dead county magistrate and said with tears in his eyes:

"Send someone to Luocheng to deliver the news. The people of Meiwan Villa killed an official appointed by the imperial court. We must make them pay the price."

Someone vaguely answered, "Yes, sir."

Everyone in the inn returned to their rooms, and then letters and carrier pigeons flew out of the inn.

Before the Du family arrived in Nanzhou, rumors had already spread throughout the martial arts world that the husband of the owner of Zhenliang Pavilion had killed an imperial official in the street. Shan Hao clearly called himself Meiwan Villa, but no one had mentioned Zhenliang Pavilion, and no one had mentioned the Du family.

Zhou Leng rubbed the sword on the corpse's clothes and said unhappily:

"What kind of tattered clothes are these? They absorb blood. You can't even wipe them clean."

Du Shiyi twitched her lips, and then she threw a piece of cotton cloth to Du Fulang.

Zhou Leng took the cotton cloth and wiped the sword in his hand. He wiped his hands with the cotton cloth again, and then said to Du Shiyi beside him with emotion: "This is the fifth wave of assassinations along the way. It seems that the Pavilion Master has offended many people."

After several fierce battles, Du Shiyi recognized Zhou Leng's strength and loyalty. After all, Du Fulang always protected his wife.

Du Shiyi often felt it was a pity for a man as infatuated as Du Fulang, as his wife only doted on him. In fact, he secretly sympathized and pitied Du Fulang in his heart.

Du Shiyi put the sword into the scabbard and approached Zhou Leng and whispered:

"I think everyone is here for Shan Fulang. After all, he is the most powerful young master in the martial arts world. Since he revealed his identity in the inn, his wife's identity cannot be concealed either. He just killed an official appointed by the imperial court. He dare not do anything openly, but can't he do it secretly?"

Zhou Leng approached Du Shiyi and whispered:

"But I think the methods used by those people have some flavor of flying swords, which are not like the fixed moves used in the court."

Du Shiyi was about to speak excitedly when someone nearby said:

"How shameless! He is clearly the wife's husband, but now he is whispering with another woman. This is really the decline of morals."

After hearing this, Du Shiyi realized that there was only a fist's distance between her and Zhou Leng. She was so scared that she jumped three meters away and looked towards the carriage nervously.

Zhou Leng turned his head and saw Du Mengran and Shan Hao lifting the curtain in the carriage and looking at him. He smiled and said loudly:

"I am indeed shameless. I actually discussed martial arts with other women at a distance of a fist. I am not like Shan Fulang who is the most handsome man in the martial arts world. He has confidantes all over the world. He can get together to watch the moon and drink together and play polo. As for those who are close to him, I don't know how many there are."

Shan Hao was so angry that he rushed out of the carriage with his sword in hand and attacked Zhou Leng, cursing:

"If I don't kill you today, I will be betraying the reputation of the Shan family. Watch out!"

Du Mengran watched her two husbands fighting in a place full of dead bodies. She clapped her hands and got off the carriage and said:

"Eleven, all ten of you come here."

Du Shiyi walked to the Pavilion Master in a strange and guilty manner.

Du Mengran looked at the two people fighting and said in a serious tone:

"Watch carefully, everyone. We are both practicing the Zhenshan Sword Technique, but why is Du Ruo's swordsmanship more powerful than yours? You all should watch carefully."

After hearing this, everyone looked towards the two people fighting in the arena.

Zhou Leng said as he fought:

"Why are you so angry? You are really not smart. You shouted 'watch my moves' before killing someone. You are reminding the other party that I am coming to kill you. This is damaging the reputation of the Shan family. The Shan family is full of people like you. Elder Shan will crawl out of his grave to scold you."

Shan Hao was already furious, and now when he heard the other party mocking the Shan family, he was so angry that he used his internal force. He really wanted to kill.

Du Mengran saw that the two men used their internal energy and created real fire. Just as she was about to step forward to stop them, she saw Shan Hao being kicked by Du Ruo. She narrowed her eyes slightly, then stepped forward to catch the other person in the waist.

Zhou Leng flicked his clothes and said:

"I don't want to argue with you. Why did I just sprinkle two handfuls of chopped green onions on you? You really think you are a dish. And you still have the nerve to say that you represent the Shan family."

Shan Hao glared at her, unable to beat her or scold her. He was so angry that he threw his sword to the ground and turned around to cry on Du Mengran's shoulder.

Everyone present was shocked by this scene.

Normally Shan Hao was arrogant and domineering, with his eyes on the top of his head. Although it was satisfying to see him being beaten, the onlookers felt a little bit sorry for the little man lying on his wife and crying in grievance.

All the women, including Du Shiyi, looked at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng felt that he could not lose. What the hell? It’s been so many days and he’s still using the same tricks. I’m also a handsome man!

Zhou Leng put away his sword and used his Qinggong to walk a few steps to Du Mengran's side. He twisted his waist and pushed Shan Hao aside. He took the other's position, then imitated him and lay on Du Mengran's shoulder and cried:

"My dear wife, you have been ignoring me all along. You are only gentle and considerate to single men. Am I not good-looking? Don't I have long legs and a thin waist? Can't I be jealous? I was very measured in my attack. He was not hurt at all, but I was hurt. My heart was deeply hurt by you. You are a heartless woman. You know that I like you so much and want to get your attention, but you just ignore me."

Zhou Leng's small fist hit gently, well, the opponent was too short, so he might as well hit the opponent's back.

Shan Hao stood up angrily. He tried to push the other person hard, but when he found that he couldn't squeeze through, he moved to Du Mengran's other shoulder and continued crying loudly.

Du Shiyi saw her own Pavilion Master comforting two husbands with arms around her, and she thought to herself that she was really unworthy of such a thing. She should just find one husband in the future, otherwise her body probably couldn't take it.

The Pavilion Master is truly a role model for women. Thinking of the scene where five husbands surrounded their wife and cried to her, Du Shiyi couldn't help shaking his head.

Du Mengran comforted the two of them, and then the three of them got into the carriage together, although it was a bit crowded.

Zhou Leng just wanted to disgust Shan Hao. What the hell was that? Being sarcastic every day, who wouldn't be a master of being sarcastic?

There was no more fighting along the way, only the jealousy between the two men with different performances every day.

Two days later.

When Dan Hao went to relieve himself, Du Mengran opened the curtain and stared outside. She said in a very soft voice:

"We are about to enter the territory of Nanzhou. Nanzhou is the home of the Mei family. Mingfeng has talked to you about some things. With your intelligence, you naturally know my position. Next, you have to do one thing. Protect yourself, avoid getting into trouble, and talk less. And you have to know that he will never let go of any grudge."

Zhou Leng turned his head to look at Du Mengran, and could hardly see any trace of him speaking. He nodded in understanding and whispered:

"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. If anyone has a problem, I can just kill them or poison them."

Du Mengran said with a bright smile:

"You don't look like a doctor now." Just then Shan Hao came into her sight, and she said loudly:

"Haohao, from a distance you looked like a fairy, I couldn't recognize you."

Zhou Leng shook his shoulders, got off the carriage as if he was jealous, and returned to his original position to ride his horse.

The female guards looked at each other and exchanged looks that said, "You know what I mean." Duvlang must be jealous again.

Five days passed like this, and they entered the territory of Nanzhou.
