Chapter 441 Substituting One Thing for Another
"Benefits?" Wang Xin said calmly: "Mr. Yang is joking. Everyone is going to the home of the richest man in Jiangnan to propose marriage. Naturally, it would be best to have a few people in the way, especially for someone as elegant as Mr. Yang, who is also highly skilled in martial arts. , naturally the less the better!”
Yang Mu's face was pale. He came here on official business to track down the suspect, and of course he had the intention of trying his luck at the Lan family. It's just that he thought he hid it well, but for some reason the person in front of him saw through his thoughts.
Knowing that there was no chance that the other party would let him go, Yang Mu couldn't help but cursed: "You piece of shit, you drank the sworn wine with me just now. We share the blessings and share the hardships. You are not afraid to turn around and do such a cruel thing to me." Did you get retribution?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up from the ground, used all his strength, and stabbed Wang Xin in the lower abdomen with the long knife in his hand.
However, the knife seemed weak and weak. Wang Xin just casually pushed the long knife aside and kicked it out, hitting Yang Mu in the lower abdomen.
"ah!"
Hearing a scream, Yang Mu was kicked. He couldn't help but cover his stomach and fell to the ground convulsing.
"Hehe, Brother Yang is joking. Your Majesty, Wang Xin, is a treacherous 'faith'!"
Wang Xin said as he picked up the long knife on the ground and drove it into Yang Mu's chest with his backhand. The great hunter who had been in power for many years was breathless from then on.
From the moment Wang Xin blocked Yang Mu's long sword to the time he killed someone with his backhand, his methods were all clean and neat, not at all what he had shown before, as if he didn't know any martial arts at all.
"That's it, no one is left!" Wang Xin looked at the corpses in the room, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, everyone! I, Old Wang, will definitely marry Miss Lan home for everyone!"
After saying that, he smiled slightly, turned around and left the teahouse, took out the most handsome horse from the stable outside, jumped on the horse, shook the reins, and galloped away.
With the teahouse's experience in mind, Wang Xin did not dare to stay too long on the road. Even in some decent-looking wine shops or inns, Wang Xin didn't go in. He just relied on some dry food he carried and galloped towards the destination of his trip.
After eating like this and drinking dew, they were bumpy on the road for more than three days. Just when Wang Xin was feeling a little exhausted, a tall city finally appeared at the end of the road ahead.
He looked from a distance and saw many colorful bouquets of flowers arranged at the gate of the city. At this time, people were coming and going, making it very lively.
"We're finally here. This is Blue River City where the Lan family is located ahead!"
Seeing that the destination was close in front of him, Wang Xin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves in the past few days were relieved.
He looked at the endless crowds of people coming and going at the city gate, as well as the soldiers who seemed to be receiving guests, and couldn't help but thought to himself:
"I have long heard that 70% of the industry in Blue River City is controlled by the Lan family. The status of the Lan clan leader in this city is comparable to that of the city lord. Now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved! The Lan family recruits relatives and even recruits soldiers in the city. Everybody come and help!”
The more Wang Xin thought about it, the more excited he became. He wished he could meet this young lady of the Lan family whom he had never met before, and if he married her, his future would be bright and bright!
He cheered up, reached out and slapped the horse's buttocks, and was about to rush towards the city gate, but suddenly found that there was a young man in gray in front of him.
"Where did this wild boy come from? Why are you blocking Wang's path?" Wang Xin angrily yelled.
The gray-clothed young man chuckled and was not worried. He just raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang, for leading us here. I also want to borrow something from Brother Wang."
"What?" Wang Xin said with an alert look on his face.
"Head on the neck!"
As soon as the young man in gray finished speaking, a silver sword light flew out from his waist. Wang Xin didn't even react, and the body was already separated, completely unconscious.
When Liang Yan killed Wang Xin with one sword, he also activated his spiritual power to seal his wounds, so that not even a drop of blood spewed out from the corpse.
He stepped forward, took off all the clothes on Wang Xin's body, and cast a dust-purifying spell to clean away all the dirt and dust on them.
After doing this, he used his magic power to dig a big hole on the side of the road, buried Wang Xin's body, and then put his clothes on himself.
The originally ordinary young man in gray suddenly transformed into a bejeweled young "member outsider". Liang Yan didn't show any expression. He just stretched out his hand to hold the horse beside him and walked towards the gate of Blue River City alone.
Several soldiers asked about his identity at the door. Liang Yan rummaged around inside his clothes for a while, finally found a piece of paper and handed it to the soldiers.
"It turns out to be the Wang Yuanwai of Jianghuai City!"
The soldier looked respectful, handed the document back to him, and immediately moved out of the way without any intention of blocking it.
Liang Yan nodded slightly and led his horse into the city. He saw that the whole city was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, making it as lively as the New Year.
Some places are overcrowded, and I don’t know what’s good about it. Liang Yan had no intention of understanding any of this. He just took his horse and walked around the city for a while, and soon found the destination of his trip.
This house is truly worthy of the word "magnificent". I am afraid that even the largest houses in Blue River City put together, including the City Lord's Mansion, are not as grand as the one in front of me.
In front of the three-foot-wide vermilion gate, two emerald braves were erected. There was an endless stream of guests coming and going in the middle, and the servants in the mansion were also busy.
Liang Yan went straight into Lan Mansion without any hesitation. Soon a steward came up and asked, "Are you the guest who came to my Lan Mansion to propose marriage?"
Liang Yan said with a smile: "Wang Xin of Jianghuai City, I came to your mansion to seek a marriage!"
The steward said with some surprise: "It turns out that he is the prince of Jianghuai City. He is young and promising, handsome and rich. If he marries our Lan family, it will be a good story. But our Lan family is recruiting a bride through a competition this time, but It's not a literary competition, I'm afraid."
Liang Yan didn't wait for him to finish his words, then waved his hands and said, "No! Wang also practiced some kung fu when he was a child and was proficient in some fists and kicks. This time he is about to see the methods of heroes from all walks of life."
"That's it!" The steward nodded and said, "It seems that the old man has made a mistake. The young master should go to the house to rest for a day. Tomorrow is the first day of the competition to recruit a bride, and then we will have to see the young master's style."
He clapped his hands as he spoke, and soon a pretty little maid came forward.
"Take the prince to the guest room to rest." The steward ordered calmly.
"yes!"
The maid bowed her head and responded, then took Liang Yan into the mansion, passed through many pavilions, and finally brought him to a quiet guest room.
"My lord, please rest here. If anything happens, just tell Jing'er." The maid said and bowed lightly before leaving.
