Chapter Ten: All a Misunderstanding

Wu and Hong hit it off immediately. Hong Xian would publicly display the title of "Dayang Royal Family," while Wu Dengke secretly

provided him with various manpower. To successfully acquire the lucrative Ze Dongnan region, Wu Dengke decided

to use drastic measures, if necessary, to force the wealthy to abandon Xiang Jingyu and submit to Hong Xian.

Wu Dengke spared no expense, ordering Du Biao, one of the "Thirteen Dragon Souls" and a top martial arts master of Daze

, to accompany Hong Xian.

Du Biao, since his debut, had almost never encountered a worthy opponent in his missions.

He was ruthless and cruel,

killing even eighty-year-old women and infants under one year old without hesitation if ordered to do so. Among the "Thirteen Dragon Souls," he ranked eighth in martial arts and Taoist techniques.

Lei Heng, the "Winged Tiger" from the "Male Tiger, Female Leopard" group, was ordered to lead ten members of the "Tiger Group" and thirty

Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard experts to Nantian City, ready to act at any time.

The "Male Tiger, Female Leopard" organization, which stood above the Jinyiwei and the Eastern and Western Depots, was named this

because the three tigers in the male special operations group possessed the best martial arts skills, while the "Twin Leopards" in the female special operations group

were named for their superior martial arts.

The three tigers were Xiahou Feng, the "Cloud Piercing Tiger," Lei Heng, the "Winged Tiger," and Zhang Yi

, the "Mountain Tiger." Lei Heng, the "Winged Tiger," held a commanding position, ranking second among the three and possessing considerable strength.

The twin leopards were Shu Chang and Zheng Shuang, the "Charming Twin Leopards," whose martial arts prowess was the highest among the 412 members (178 male tigers and 234 female leopards)

. "A man's dantian is in his navel, a woman's dantian is in

her chest." This profound martial arts principle gives women a greater advantage in its cultivation than men. Three tigers attacking together could barely

hold off one of the two leopards, while the two leopards working together could subdue anyone ranked below fifth among the "Thirteen Dragon Souls."

Based on decades of data from the Eastern and Western Depots in southeastern Ze, Wu Dengke knew that

among , none were more skilled than "Winged Tiger." However, handling a massive sum of eight to ten trillion yuan

was a delicate matter, allowing no room for error. Sending "Blood Ancestor" Du Biao along was primarily for support; the possibility of him actually intervening was virtually

zero.

Xiang Jingyu had arranged to discuss recent events with Liu Gao and Ji Qing today, seeking a solution. Liu Gao and Ji

Qing had come specifically after being hinted at by Yue Jianfeng, the commander of the Yue Family Army.

While Yue Jianfeng and his son couldn't personally venture into business, many members of the Yue family

had extensive business dealings with the Xiang family, and many high-ranking military officers had received favors from Xiang Jingyu. If the Xiang family were to suddenly collapse,

the economic losses to the Yue family and the Yue Family Army would be incalculable. Yue Jianfeng, that old fox, had secretly sent people

to contact Hong Xian, but it was clear they couldn't reach an agreement.

Hong Xian had Wu Dengke as his backer, and Wu Dengke's relationship with Chen Zan, the commander of the Chen Family Army, far surpassed

his relationship with Yue Jianfeng. The Chen Family Army had a million elite soldiers, while the Yue Family Army only had two hundred thousand. Without the Chen Family's large contingent of elite troops as

a backer, how could Wu Dengke dare offend the old man Yue?

When Hong Xian arrived, Chen Zan had specifically summoned him, showing great interest in the huge sums of money in Ze Dongnan and intending to get

involved . Therefore, how could the old man Yue possibly succeed in negotiating with Hong Xian?

Faced with enormous profits, Yue Yunpeng had no choice but to act ruthlessly. Gritting his teeth, he signaled to his generals Liu Gao and Ji Qing to

intervene . If necessary, he could directly deploy the 273 elite special cavalrymen of the Yue Family Army to wipe out

the invaders in one fell swoop.

At Tianlei Manor, Xiang Jingyu received a group of more than ten people led by Yue Yunjiao, Liu Gao, and Ji Qing. They had just

sat down in the spacious reception hall when a large number of assassins arrived one after another. In the military restricted area of the imperial family

, they openly killed people with knives.

The newcomers numbered over forty. The leader was none other than "Winged Tiger" Lei Heng, who led ten male Tiger Group

members and thirty Jinyiwei experts. They were all dressed in dark blue suits, had buzz cuts, and wore

matching blue turbans to cover their faces. Each of them carried a narrow-bladed single-edged sword, exuding a murderous aura. The more than forty men rushed forward at once,

without saying a word, and began to slash.

The Eastern and Western Depots and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were the most tightly controlled secret service organizations in the land. The moment Old Man Yue made a

move, Sun Jian, the Eastern Depot's chief clerk in Nantian City, known as "Iron Hand," immediately received the intelligence and swiftly

reported to Wu Dengke.

Upon receiving the secret report, Wu Dengke immediately instructed "Winged Tiger" Lei Heng to act swiftly and decisively, eliminating the Xiang

siblings. Once the Xiang siblings were dead, and the Yue family couldn't openly intervene, half the battle would be won. After eliminating

the Xiang family, their biggest obstacle, taking over other businesses with swift and decisive action would be much easier.

Xiang Jingyu appeared to be a useless playboy, but his parents died early, and

he had been in charge of the Xiang family since the age of thirteen. He not only had to maintain the family's existing wealth but also take care of his beautiful younger sister.

Having drawn away the Xiang family's nine thousand soldiers to engage in commerce and become the leading merchant in the southeast of Zedong, Xiang Jingyu was no

easy opponent.

Sensing something amiss, they spent money to send men to investigate the intruders' background while simultaneously tightening their belts, holding

back attack. Finally, they summoned the Xiang family's elite troops from various regions, prepared for a desperate last stand! "

Forced marriage" was their family's specialty; they wouldn't allow anyone to copy it.

Tianlei Manor appeared relaxed on the outside but was tightly guarded on the inside. On the surface, Xiang Jingyu seemed to be drinking and womanizing as usual, but if anything changed

, the eighty elite Xiang family soldiers they had recruited would be deployed, closing the gates to meet the enemy. The three women brought by Yue Yunjiao were also

formidable fighters: Zhan Bafang Wang Naxiang, Zhanfu Han Yue, Kuangdao Leng Zhan, Yaolong Li Weilong, Wuyingtui Ai Mingyang…

all were top-tier fighters from the Yue family's "Valiant Cavalry Battalion."

However, the elite of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were handpicked from various armies and prestigious sects of the Great Ze Empire;

any . Not to mention the eleven

"male tiger" members led by Winged Tiger.

Although the Xiang and Yue families outnumbered the attackers, they couldn't withstand the frenzied onslaught. No matter how many sheep there are, they can't stop

a tiger. Both sides knew perfectly well who the other was! They didn't want other noble families to know

what was happening at Thunder Manor, and vainly hoped to resolve the matter with cold weapons.

Winged Tiger was engaged in murder and robbery, and even less did he want outsiders to know. Besides, the two sides

were instantly locked in hand-to-hand combat, locked in a life-or-death struggle; even guns were useless.

No! It should be said that Winged Tiger clearly knew who the attackers were, while the Xiang and Yue families were completely unaware of the attackers' intentions.

Who are they?!

Xiang Jingyu and Yue Yunjiao only knew that these people were assassins sent by Hong Xian, but they didn't know that

they fighting against the top elites of the Daze Empire—members of the "Male Tigers" and the "Imperial Guards.

" Knowing oneself but not one's enemy was already a losing proposition. Wang Naxiang, the "Battle of the Eight Directions," overestimated himself. As soon as the fight began,

he drew his large sword, attempting to intercept "Winged Tiger" Lei Heng. Lei Heng sneered, and in a moment of mistaken identity,

Lei Heng charged directly at Xiang Jingyu, ignoring Wang Naxiang.

Wang Naxiang stood there, his mouth opening and closing with difficulty twice. A bloody

gash more than a foot long appeared on his left side. A surge of blood appeared, and he collapsed with a "thud," dying with his eyes wide open.

Although Xiang Jingyu had the advantage of numbers, he didn't gain the slightest advantage. Ten minutes later, the situation was clear

. The Xiang and Yue families practically traded two lives for one of their attackers. After a fierce and brutal battle,

only six attackers remained.

Xiang Jingyu was relentlessly pursued by the Winged Tigers, while Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Yan, the Xiang family's top fighters, desperately held off Lei Heng,

their bodies bleeding profusely. Liu Gao and Ji Qing fought valiantly against two Tiger Group members, their bodies stained with blood. Ai

Mingyang and Li Weilong, relying on their extraordinary agility, were also playing hide-and-seek with their opponents, but they wouldn't last much longer.

The "Southern Beauties," back to back, each wielding a long spear, their black hair disheveled and faces deathly pale, desperately held off

a Tiger Group member. The Tiger Group spy, while constantly swinging his knife, leered and drooled, determined to capture

the two beauties alive.

The outcome was decided; in two minutes, the Xiang family would be finished. Xiang Jingyu gasped for breath,

his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with despair. Just then, another change occurred. A burly man, dressed in

the intruder's dark blue suit and masked, walked forward from the outer hall, carrying a narrow-bladed single-edged sword in each hand.

Xiang Jingyu thought to himself, "It's over! How come there's still one more person!"

Winged Tiger also saw the newcomer and shouted, "Idiot! What are you doing with someone else's sword? Hurry up and attack!"

The man responded, and the narrow-bladed sword flew from his hand. The "Southern Twin Beauties" felt the pressure ease and

simultaneously into the chest and abdomen of the Tiger Group spy.

Lei Heng jumped up and shouted, "Idiot! Fool! You've stabbed the wrong person! Wait till we get back and see how I deal with you!"

The narrow-bladed sword that had flown from the man's hand struck the Tiger Group member fighting the Twin Beauties squarely in

the left back of the heart, killing him instantly!

The Twin Beauties, however, laughed and said, "Thanks for your help! Haha!"

They then freed their hands to help Li Weilong fight the other Tiger Group spy.

Li Weilong and Ai Mingyang were both on par with Wang Naxiang in terms of skill. Although they had only been with Yue Fei's army for a few days, they were already

highly regarded by Yue Fei and his son. Seeing that Shuangjiao was helping, he turned around, raised his Kunwu sword, and

met , giving Shuangjiao an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The big man chuckled foolishly in a northern accent, "Sorry! Boss! It was an accident! Just an accident!"

After saying that, he reversed the blade, seemingly wanting to join Ai Mingyang's group to seek a fight.

Lei Heng cursed, "Who the hell are you! Have you taken the wrong medicine! Don't worry about that! Help me kill that Xiang

family brat first!"

The man responded in a muffled voice, raised his sword and rushed straight at Xiang Jingyu. Xiang Zhuang was shocked and, disregarding his own life

, raised his sword to meet the attack. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and, for some reason, was kicked away by the man.

Lei Heng laughed, "What exquisite legwork! That kick was brilliant!"

Ai Mingyang also saw the man's kick, and was initially stunned, then burst into laughter, shouting to Li Weilong from afar,

"Little Li! That guy's here! Haha! We're not going to die!"

As he spoke, his "Dongxu Sword" flashed repeatedly, unleashing its true power, dodging his opponent and

closing in on Li Weilong and the other two.

Li Weilong was initially stunned, but seeing the burly man's back, he also laughed, his powerful "Kunwu Sword"

flashing with blood as it clashed with the Tiger Group member's knife. The two beauties wouldn't let the opportunity slip by; one on each side,

their twin spears aimed straight for the Tiger Group member's ribs. Xiang Jingyu threw a punch, but the burly man caught it,

twisted it backward, and pinned it to the ground, unable to move.

The burly man laughed at Lei Heng, "Boss! Got it! Kill him or skin him?"

Lei Heng pushed aside Xiang Yan and roared, "Kill him already! What are you asking me for, you idiot!"

The man shouted, "Kill him if you want! Murdering a member of the royal family is a serious crime!"

Lei Heng was so angry he almost vomited blood. He forcefully deflected Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Yan's swords and strode forward,

raising his blade to strike Xiang Jingyu's head.

Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Yan didn't rush to his aid, crying out in anguish, "My lord!"

The two beauties cried out, "No..."

Xiang Jingyu, facing death, soiled his pants and wailed, "Who will save me..."

A spurt of blood gushed out, splattering Xiang Jingyu's head and face, but he felt no pain. He cried out, "What

a swift blade!" As

soon as he finished speaking, he was lifted up and thrown aside. He heard a familiar voice say:

"Hurry my ass!"

Winged Tiger stared at the narrow blade that had pierced his dantian, never expecting such an outcome. He

leaned on the ground, his face filled with despair as he looked at the man, his voice weak and feeble. "You...you...you...

who are you?!"

The man, his face covered by a cloth, laughed. "Sorry, boss! Another accidental injury!"

he said, reaching for his sword. Winged Tiger gripped the blade tightly with his left hand, his voice hoarse. "Accidental injury

..."

the man chuckled. "Yes! Just an accident!"

he kicked

, sending Winged Tiger flying.

The Tiger Group member fighting Ai Mingyang, sensing trouble, tried to retreat, but the man had already turned back, his tongue

booming like thunder. "Idiot! You've had your fun! Try taking my blade!"

He transformed into a whirlwind, lunging forward with his sword. Without warning, he unleashed a devastating blow, but it wasn't a Central Plains

sword technique ; the attack was incredibly strange. The Tiger Group member shifted his stance several times, finally managing to deflect the ferocious blade with a clang.

His hands, gripping the sword, went numb from the impact, and his legs involuntarily trembled. Time seemed to

stand still for a moment.

Then, a sharp pain shot through his back as a longsword pierced his heart. He had never felt turning around require so much force.

Behind him, Ai Mingyang held a sword in his right hand, the tip embedded in his chest, while his left hand swung wildly, laughing,

"Bye-bye!"

Another Tiger Group member was impaled by Shuang Jiao's spear, his arms and legs flailing wildly in mid-air.

The two Tiger Group members facing Liu Gao and Ji Qing exchanged a glance and leaped onto the high wall. The masked man

shouted, "Where do you think you're going!"

A flash of light appeared, and a narrow-bladed knife flew from his hand, piercing through one man's abdomen with

lightning . The man cried out and fell to the ground.

The other dared not look back, and in a flash, he vaulted over the wall and fled. The masked man shouted, "You think you can escape?"

His body flew through the air.

Behind him, Liu Gao shouted, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy! Hero, please wait!"

But no one was there. In a moment, the man was back on the wall, another narrow-bladed knife in his right hand,

a bloody head protruding from its tip.

The man on the wall burst into laughter, saying, "Haha! I heard it! Who's calling me a hero! How

satisfying! I'm a hero now! But this line sounds so awkward to me, like it's acting!"

Yue Yunjiao exclaimed, "Then what should we call you!"

The man pulled down the blue veil covering his face, grinning, "This young lady is quite something! I don't want you

to call me that!"

Yue Yunjiao asked, "Then who should call you?"

Xiang Fengjiao laughed, "Lin Feng, stop fooling around! Come down here!"

Shui Lin Feng laughed, "That's not how you call me! You should call me that! Hehe!"

Ai Mingyang suddenly exclaimed, "What a huge piece of gold..."

Before he finished speaking, the object in his hand was already in Shui Lin Feng's hand. Yue Yunjiao and the others were speechless. Liu Gao said:

"What swift movements!"

Shui Linfeng tossed aside the head he was carrying on his knife, examined the gold medal in his hand from left to right, and laughed, "It's

quite heavy in my hand, it's definitely gold! Old Ai! This thing is mine!"

Ai Mingyang laughed, "You can have it! Anyway, I can't beat you!" Just

as everyone was about to speak, Shui Linfeng suddenly went berserk and began to strip the masked man's clothes off the ground.

Li Weilong laughed, "No more! Only the one you have is pure gold! Everyone else's are all

bronze!"

Yue Yunfeng took the bronze badge Li Weilong handed her, examined it closely, and exclaimed, "The Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

She looked at another badge but didn't recognize it. Ji Qing took it and said, "Male Tiger!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Which gang are they from? They're all tough guys!"

Liu Gao said to Shui Linfeng, "This matter must not be publicized!"

Turning to the crowd, he said, "Don't mention today's events again!

Don't reveal a single word about this young man's name or background!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Is it that serious! I've killed several top experts! Spreading the word will help me

gain some prestige !" "This is a serious waste of talent, do you understand?"

Xiang Jingyu, having recovered his composure, retorted, "Show off your head my foot! If word gets out about what happened today, your

whole family will be wiped out!"

Shui Linfeng jumped up and said, "Old Xiang! What are you saying! I kindly brought you good things and

helped you kill those hanged men! Instead of thanking me, you curse me for no reason! Do you have any conscience?!"

Yue Yunjiao chimed in from the side, "He's absolutely right! Let's go inside and sit down to talk!"

The group went to the inner hall and managed to find a place to sit. Yue Yunjiao called over Li Weilong and Ai Mingyang and

instructed them to go back and secretly select reliable people to use a military truck to haul away the bodies and cremate them

secretly .

Shui Linfeng, being a clever man, realized something was terribly wrong from just a few words. He stammered, "I

thought they were robbers! Luckily, I killed them all. If even one had escaped, things would have been really bad today!"

Xiang Jingyu laughed, "Fool! Scared now?"

Shui Linfeng said, "Scared! I wonder who's scared? Just now..."

Xiang Jingyu quickly interrupted, "Good brother! Give me some face! Look at you! Covered in blood! I've

already told Shuangtao to prepare hot water. Have the two of them help you take a bath first. After we clean this place up, we can

come out for dinner, okay?"
