Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Qingxian City.
At the Bo residence.
The backyard was brightly lit.
“The time has come, prepare to move!”
Bo Kai’s face was stern.
Before him stood hundreds of guards, all with long swords at their waists, arrayed in neat rows.
“Yes!”
The men replied in hushed voices.
These were the best chosen by Bo Kai. Though not exactly die-hard loyalists, they were extremely devoted to the Bo family.
They had been trained by the martial arts instructor of the household for half a month and had acquired some combat abilities. Tonight, they planned to launch a surprise attack on the Gu residence, catching Gu Yang off guard.
The back gate of the residence opened, and under Bo Kai’s lead, the men quietly left the Bo estate.
Simultaneously.
At the Gu residence.
In the courtyard.
A figure entered and bowed to Gu Yang, “Master Gu, Bo Chang has started to move.”
This man of average height, with bright eyes, was none other than Li Ming, the chief runner from the yamen.
“Good, thank you, sir.”
Gu Yang nodded, “As Wu Bangde predicted, Bo Chang chose tonight to act… But he certainly didn’t anticipate that I’ve already prepared!
Bo Chang is arrogant and has pushed me too far. Tonight, the Bo family will be… Eradicated from Qingxian City!”
At Gu Yang’s command, hundreds of guards filed out.
Gu Yang did not accompany them to the Bo residence.
Half a cup of tea’s time later. Another figure appeared.
“Master.”
A man dressed in black and blue stepped forward, speaking in a low voice, “The brothers from the Qingxian Society have arrived.”
“Good.”
Gu Yang’s eyes shone with determination, “What about the city guards?”
“They’ve already departed for the Bo residence.”
The man responded.
“Excellent.’
A murderous intent surfaced in Gu Yang’s eyes, “With the right time, location, and people… Begin taking action!”
“Yes!”
The man in black responded.
There were four hundred guards from the residence, two hundred enforcers from the Qingxian Society, and two hundred city guards.
These eight hundred men, unlike ordinary martial citizens, were well-trained and represented Gu Yang’s elite force. Gu Yang had a plan for tonight’s operation.
It was the hour of Yin.
From midnight until dawn.
The duty of guarding the city gates was with the Bo family’s men.
Gu Yang had already sent spies to scout ahead.
The batch of guards on duty tonight had been switched out, not Bo family’s elite, but likely servants in disguise.
From this, Gu Yang deduced that the Bo family had fully committed to this operation.
But Gu Yang was not worried.
The Gu family’s strength was inherently stronger than the Bo family’s, and they were better prepared this time.
With the prepared taking on the unprepared, once the Bo family lost the advantage of a “sneak attack,” and both sides’ forces were laid bare, Bo Chang would stand no chance of winning.
“Crack—I’
A head flew off, soaring through the air.
Warm blood splattered across Bo Kai’s face.
In an alley near the Gu residence, they encountered an ambush from the Gu family.
The Gu family had prepared in advance and launched the first attack.
A volley of arrows struck down a row of Bo family men.
However, the alley’s complex layout allowed the Bo guards to quickly retreat and navigate through different paths.
The Bo men also had crossbows and retaliated from the shadows.
Once the arrows on both sides were nearly depleted, it turned into close-quarters combat.
People kept dying, and more kept joining the fight—
The elite from the Qingxian Society and the city guards controlled by both families arrived at the battlefield.
Including various household servants and militia, the total number of combatants had surpassed two thousand. But this number was rapidly decreasing.
Sweat, blood, screams…
Blunted weapons, sticky blood, and mutilated corpses…
Both sides were blinded by rage.
“Where’s the reinforcement?! Why hasn’t it arrived yet!”
Bo Kai wiped the blood off his face, cutting down a Gu family guard.
But he too was slashed across the shoulder by a long sword.
At this moment, both sides were nearing exhaustion.
Just then, cries of battle approached from a distance.
Reinforcements arrived, led by a man on a tall horse.
Behind him, nearly a thousand soldiers charged towards the area.
Bo Kai’s spirit lifted as he barked, “Attack!”
The arrival of reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the Bo side.
The horseman quickly reached the scene.
But unexpectedly, he swung his long sword forcefully down.
What fell to the ground was Bo Kai’s own head.
“Leave none alive!”
The newcomer’s tone was icy cold.
His targets were both the Bo and Gu families.
In Qingxian City.
At the He residence.
He Youde lay on a rattan chair, enjoying the services of three concubines.
One massaged his shoulders, another rubbed his legs, and a third fed him dried fruits.
“Master seems very happy today?”
A concubine asked sweetly.
“Heh, the master is happy every day, but today I’m especially joyful.”
He Youde, listening to the distant faint sounds of battle, found them extremely pleasing.
He said with a smile:
“Our dear Magistrate is truly a remarkable man.”
“What do you mean, master?” A concubine asked.
“Ah, you wouldn’t understand.”
He Youde waved his hand, “But since you three made me so comfortable today, go to the accounting room tomorrow and collect your reward.” The faces of the three concubines brightened up immediately.
He Youde’s generosity tonight was, of course, for a reason.
Three nights ago, two carriages arrived at the He residence.
