Chapter 431: Furious and lawless

Lu Wenhan's blood was boiling, and he felt that he was filled with endless anger. He strode out of the hall, and looked around. One figure after another ran over in a hurry.

"Tell me, who else is missing?"

"My Lord, the fifth young master, the sixth young master..."

"Our mansion was robbed, and all the property was stolen. The young masters of each courtyard are missing."

"The nineteenth young master was still in my arms last night, but after waking up, he just... disappeared!"

"And the one in the side courtyard..."

Everyone talked about it, and Lu Wenhan's face was gloomy. His eyes fell on the old housekeeper and he said angrily: "Who was on duty last night?"

"So many people disappeared from the mansion quietly. Did they see a ghost?"

"Call all the guards who were on duty last night."

"Yes!"

The anger in Lu Wenhan's heart gradually subsided, and his chest was heaving, and the whole person was completely calm.

Not long after, hundreds of armored soldiers came to Lu Wenhan and saluted respectfully. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a murderous aura.

"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"

"Humph!"

Lu Wenhan looked at the head of the guards with a stern face and said in a deep voice: "Lin Xi, were you on duty last night?"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

"I want to ask you, where did the young masters go?"

"Lord Marquis!" Lin Xi's face changed slightly when he heard it, and he knelt directly in front of Lu Wenhan: "I was on duty last night, but I didn't find any movement!"

"Until dawn today, the door of the mansion has been closed, and no one has entered or left!"

"Please investigate, Lord Marquis!"

"Asshole!"

Lu Wenhan's anger, which had just subsided, surged again, and he said coldly: You mean, dozens of people disappeared from my house for no reason? "

"Come here!"

"Here!"

"Take Lin Xi down and interrogate him strictly."

"Yes!"

All the guards of the Marquis's house were taken away for interrogation in batches. Lu Wenhan exhaled deeply, looked at the old housekeeper beside him, and said in a deep voice: "You go to the county government in person."

"Ask the county government to send people to search, and mobilize 3,000 soldiers in my name."

"Yes, Marquis!"

After Lu Wenhan gave the order, he strode into the main hall, dismissed all the servants, pondered for a long time, walked straight to the corner of the wall, and knocked three times gently.

"What's the matter?"

"Uncle, do you know what happened yesterday?"

Lu Wenhan looked at the dark passage with a solemn expression. You know, his Lu Mansion is not only guarded by hundreds of soldiers, but also has layers of defense, and there are many masters.

Being able to silently abduct dozens of people from under the noses of a group of guards, this power is enough to make him afraid.

"I don't know!"

"Even you didn't notice it?"

Lu Wenhan's tone was a little unbelievable. This person can be said to be the ceiling of combat power in his Lu Mansion. If even he didn't notice it, it would be a bit too scary.

"I have been in seclusion and have not paid attention to the outside world."

"Besides, being able to steal the sun in the layers of defense you set up, such skills are also top-notch in the world."

"Huh!"

Lu Wenhan took a deep breath and bowed respectfully: "Uncle, my mansion has no way out now. For the sake of our ancestors' will, please come out of seclusion and take charge of the overall situation!"

"I am still half a step away from that step."

"Wait for me for three months!"

After saying that, the door of the passage slammed shut. Lu Wenhan's face became more and more gloomy, and finally murmured: "I'm afraid I can't wait for three months!"

"My Lord!"

"Not good..."

Just as Lu Wenhan was thinking, he saw another figure rushing in and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Li, was kidnapped..."

...

"Go!"

"Go!"

The sun rose in the east and set in the west, and the stars moved. Ning Fan and his party rushed all the way, traveling 300 miles a day, and finally arrived at the territory of Changyan County.

Jiangdong has been a prosperous place since ancient times. It is also the northern border and the only place that can be compared with Jiangnan.

"Your Highness, Changyan City is ahead."

"Yes!"

Ning Fan reined in his horse, looked at the towering city wall in front of him, and said softly: "Go, tell the Changyan County Government to come out to welcome you."

"Yes!"

Immediately, a fast horse rushed towards the tower. Ning Fan looked at Chen Qingzhi on the side: "Qingzhi, in your opinion, if Changyan City is the center, where is the most suitable place to hide soldiers within a hundred miles?"

Hearing Ning Fan's question, Chen Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "My lord, I will send all the scouts now."

"Yes!"

"Remember, don't alert the enemy."

"Yes!"

Chen Qingzhi led a The team of light cavalry left immediately, and Ning Fan looked at Dian Wei and others on the side: "Get ready, it's time to enter the city."

Not long after, the gate in the direction of the city gate was suddenly closed, and a middle-aged man in a red official robe walked up to the tower and shouted: "Is the person coming, His Royal Highness Prince Yong?"

"Yes!"

Ning Fan stepped forward and shouted: "Knowing that the king is coming, why don't you go out of the city to greet him?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me!" The official bowed slightly and said loudly: "I don't know why Your Highness brought troops to knock on the city. Do you have any court documents or His Majesty's imperial edict?"

"Hmph!"

"My king led the Jinyiwei to investigate the case, why don't you open the city gate quickly."

"Your Highness, the army behind you is not the Jinyiwei. According to the court's laws, those who mobilize troops without the court's order will be punished for treason."

"Please leave quickly, Your Highness!"

"Haha, you are so brave."

Ning Fan showed a sneer on his face, looked at Dian Wei on the side, and shouted: "E Lai, attack the city!"

"Within ten breaths, the city gate will not be opened. After I enter the city, the Changyan County Government, from top to bottom, will be punished for treason!"

"Yes!"

Dian Wei shouted in a low voice, looked at the group of light cavalry behind him, and shouted: "All soldiers, follow me to attack the city!"

"Kill!"

As he said, he took the lead and rushed towards the city gate. He swung a pair of halberds in his hands, and the aura on his body swept towards the city gate of Changyan.

"Bang."

Accompanied by a loud noise, the nearly three-meter-high city gate collapsed directly under Dian Wei's brute force. The guards on the tower suddenly changed their faces, but Ning Fan was calm and said lightly: "Enter the city!"

Ten thousand white-robed men rushed into the city. Ning Fan gave an order and took over the city defense directly.

"Come here!"

"Here!"

"Send someone to surround the county government for me and take down all the officials."

"Your Highness, think twice!"

Wei Jin, the governor of Jiangbei, showed a trace of worry on his face and said softly: "After all, it is a local county government. It is a serious crime for us to mobilize troops without authorization this time. If we take down the county government..."

"If the sky falls, I will support it."

"I want to see who has the final say in this world!"
