Chapter 166 The Corpse in the Yard
The night is as dark as ink and silent.
The few sparse stars in the sky emit dim light.
Mu Lanfeng stood on the roof, surrounded by a murderous aura that was approaching like a tide.
"How dare you ruin my business? Kill me!"
From afar, a cold command was heard. The voice was filled with endless anger and pierced through the silence like an arrow in the dark night.
As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze in an instant, and several dark shadows appeared like ghosts, carrying murderous aura, rushing towards him at lightning speed.
Mu Lanfeng's eyes flashed, his figure was as light as a flying swallow, he tapped his toes lightly, and his figure instantly flew into the air. At the moment when the black shadow pounced on him, he cleverly dodged to the side.
The black shadows missed and brought up a gust of wind.
Mu Lanfeng flipped in the air and landed steadily, her hair fluttering slightly in the wind.
Those black shadows missed their first attack and immediately launched another attack. Their bodies were as fast as lightning and they rushed towards Mu Lanfeng from different directions. The weapons in their hands flashed coldly in the darkness.
Mu Lanfeng snorted coldly, shook his wrist, and a long whip instantly appeared in his hand.
The long whip danced like a snake, making crisp "pa pa" sounds in the air.
The black shadows rushed forward, Mu Lanfeng's eyes turned cold, and he swung out with the long whip.
The long whip seemed to have life, lashing towards a black shadow with precision.
The black shadow hurriedly raised his knife to block, but his arm became numb from the powerful force of the whip.
Mu Lanfeng's wrist moved continuously, and the long whip in her hand changed unpredictably, sometimes stabbing straight out like a steel cable, and sometimes rolling and lashing like waves. The black shadows were beaten into a panic, and some were constantly hit by the long whip, making painful groans.
The dark shadows did not notice that Mu Lanfeng's whip had already been smeared with poison.
It is colorless and odorless. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it will quickly seep into the blood and cause instant death!
People kept falling down from the poison, and their shrill screams echoed in the dark night, making people shudder.
Some people were scared, and Mu Lanfeng noticed that the offensive of those people had weakened a lot.
The movements of those shadows became a little hesitant, and their attacks were no longer as decisive as before. It was obvious that they were filled with fear.
Mu Lanfeng's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he did not relax at all. Since these people dared to attack, they must bear the consequences.
She swung the whip in her hand, drawing a sharp arc in the air and making a crisp "snap" sound.
A black shadow had just raised his weapon and was about to attack again when Mu Lanfeng's whip struck like lightning and hit his wrist hard.
The black shadow felt pain and the weapon fell out of his hand. Before he could react, Mu Lanfeng whipped him on the knee again, and the black shadow fell to the ground instantly.
Then another black shadow attacked from the side, and Mu Lanfeng seemed to have eyes on his back. He dodged it easily with a flash of his body.
Then she turned her wrist, and the long whip suddenly wrapped around the black shadow's ankle like a dragon emerging from the sea. She pulled hard, and the black shadow lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
Without giving the opponent any chance to breathe, the whip was swung again, accurately hitting the black shadow's chest. The black shadow vomited blood and fainted.
The remaining people were frightened by Mu Lanfeng and began to retreat.
How could Mu Lanfeng let them go?
She moved quickly, approaching those people.
The long whip in her hand was like the most deadly weapon, and every swing brought screams. The shadows fell one after another, and their resistance seemed so powerless under Mu Lanfeng's attack.
Finally, the last black shadow fell to the ground under Mu Lanfeng's whip.
On the rooftop, silence returned.
Mu Lanfeng stood there with his long whip hanging on the ground.
She raised her head slightly, looked at the endless night sky, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. Her tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment.
He looked down at the enemies lying on the ground, without a trace of mercy in his eyes.
Mu Lanfeng stretched his stiff wrists, leaped up, and landed quietly in the yard as lightly as a fallen leaf.
Suddenly, the night watchman's clapper rang out on the street outside, and the voice echoed in the night sky: "It's the middle of the night, be careful with candles!"
……
"what--"
A shrill scream broke the silence of the morning.
The voice was sharp and piercing, carrying endless fear and panic in the cold air. The scream echoed for a long time, making people's hearts suddenly tighten.
An extremely strong smell of blood suddenly hit my nose, and the pungent smell made my stomach churn and I feel nauseous.
Under the eaves of the front hall, there was a shocking pool of blood, and the dark red blood had not yet completely coagulated.
From time to time, drops of blood would slowly fall from the eaves, making a slight "tick-tick" sound.
The shrill scream came from Lao Huang, the servant who was in charge of sweeping the front yard.
His eyes widened, his face was full of fear, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
His eyes were fixed on the pool of blood and the still dripping blood, his lips trembled, he wanted to say something but couldn't utter a complete sound.
There were some broken tiles scattered around on the ground around the bloodstains.
Lao Huang's heart was beating as fast as a drum. He wanted to escape from this horrible place, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't take a step.
Old Huang's shrill cry soon attracted the servants who were watching.
Everyone looked at the shocking bloodstains and broken tiles and suddenly fell into panic.
"What on earth happened? Why is it so scary?" asked a young servant in a trembling voice.
"Is there some demon causing trouble?" A timid maid was pale and her eyes were full of fear.
"Don't talk nonsense, there is no monster. It must be someone bad got hurt!" said an elderly servant with a frown.
"But this is too horrible. That blood...what's going on?" Another servant looked around nervously.
"No, look, what's that on the roof?"
Someone was sharp-eyed and saw the body on the roof. He turned pale with fright and could not speak clearly. "It's... it's... a dead person!"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw several corpses lying on the roof.
"Go and report to the Prime Minister quickly!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone was talking about it, and fear hung over everyone's heart like a dark cloud.
A servant staggered towards Mu Xun's study.
Not long after, Mu Xun came hurriedly over while putting on his clothes.
Mu Xun looked at the scene in front of him with a deathly pale face. His eyes slowly swept across the shocking pool of blood, the broken tiles and the corpses lying on the roof, and a feeling of fear surged in his heart.
His hands were shaking and his lips were tightly pursed, trying his best to suppress the fear in his heart.
"What on earth is going on?" Mu Xun's voice was low, with anger that was hard to conceal.
Everyone was silent and no one dared to answer.
Mu Xun's eyes swept across the servants around him like sharp swords, and the oppressive feeling made everyone's heart tighten.
The fear in his heart surged like raging waves. What he was afraid of was not just the death, but the fact that after such a big commotion, no one in the mansion noticed it.
Moreover, he had so many secret guards, but none of them noticed anything unusual.
This is really terrible!
Fear was like an invisible giant hand, tightly strangling his throat and making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
At this moment, Jiang also came over wearing her coat. When she saw the situation in front of her, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
His body swayed slightly. Seeing this, Chunlan hurried forward to help him, and he managed to steady himself.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were full of fear and disbelief.
Like Mu Xun, he was filled with fear. Judging from the situation, there must have been a lot of commotion, so why didn't anyone notice it?
Jiang glanced sideways at Chunlan beside her with a questioning look.
Chunlan shook her head slightly in response.
Obviously, Chunlan didn't know either.
Mu Xun's face was gloomy. He slowly looked around, his eyes sweeping across everyone present like a sharp blade. Then he warned everyone in a majestic and cold tone: "Listen to me! Watch your mouths! If I hear any rumors about what happened today that shouldn't be spread out, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between master and servant! When the time comes, I will not let you off easily!"
Everyone was silent, not daring to make a sound, and the yard was dead silent!
