There were flames everywhere in the Tang Mansion, and the sounds of swords and fighting were loud. If it weren't for the pavilions and towers everywhere, one would have thought this was a battlefield.

When Jiang Muxia and Tang Si led their men to rush in, they ran into a slender woman in black clothes with a black scarf covering her face. She was holding brass knuckles in both hands and was fighting fiercely with the guards in the mansion.

The guard was beaten back by her and stabbed several times. He could not hold on any longer.

Jiang Muxia stopped and recognized the man at a glance.

Ji Di, this time I will tear off your veil and reveal your true face to everyone.

"Tang Si, go to the backyard and look for Madam Hu."

Jiang Muxia raised the whip and rushed forward, with the tip of the whip going straight to the back of Ji Di's head.

Just when Ji Di was about to succeed, she suddenly felt a strong wind coming towards her from behind. She turned around, bent down and dodged.

She stood up and looked closely, and saw a girl in red, with her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, and a pair of clear and beautiful eyes that sparkled in the night. She stood straight, with a solemn face, and waved the whip in her hand like a snake, rushing towards her.

Ji Di's face froze and anger rose in his heart. Why didn't she die?

She cursed inwardly at the waste, bent down, picked up a sword, and blocked the whip that was coming towards her.

She narrowed her eyes and sneered. So what if he didn't die? It was still unclear who would die at whose hands!

The whip was wrapped around the blade, and Ji Di tried to cut her whip into several pieces. Without a weapon, she would definitely not be his opponent in a hand-to-hand fight. Close combat was what he was good at.

She poured all her strength into the blade, and pulled it hard with both hands. As she wished, the whip broke into several pieces and fell to the ground. Due to inertia, Jiang Muxia fell back, and she took several steps back before she could stabilize her body.

Ji Di's eyes turned cold, and without giving her a chance to react, he threw away his sword, drew his brass knuckles and pounced on her.

Jiang Muxia did the opposite, he did a backflip, picked up a sword from the ground, stretched out his arm, and stabbed straight in the direction where Ji Di was rushing.

Ji Di came at her with great force and she had never expected her to do this. When she was about to hit the sword, she gritted her teeth and turned her body to the side, but the sword still cut a hole in her body.

The blood turned into ice, her eyes turned red and she was filled with anger.

Jiang Muxia put away her sword and smiled calmly, "Ji Di, now is the time, why not take off your veil and be honest with each other. You are not convinced, are you?" She threw the sword to the ground and showed the dagger in her hand, "I will use this, you use the brass knuckles, let's have a close fight, regardless of life or death, okay?"

Ji Di snorted coldly, tore off his face scarf, and got ready to attack, "Who's afraid of who?"

Jiang Muxia's eyes narrowed, he held the dagger in front of his chest, took a quick step, and struck Ji Di in the face.

Ji Di counterattacked with his right elbow, blocking her hand holding the dagger, and stabbed her elbow with his left knuckles.

Jiang Muxia clenched his left fist and hit her left elbow hard.

The two men's arms flew around, and after several rounds, neither of them gained an advantage over the other.

Jiang Muxia suddenly stepped back a few steps and clapped her hands in applause, "Miss Ji is indeed a master of martial arts. I admire her."

Ji Di narrowed his eyes, not knowing what she was up to, and became alert.

"What? Are you willing to admit defeat? Then give me your life." Without saying anything, she rushed forward.

Jiang Muxia moved his left foot, kicked the sword on the ground and smashed it towards her.

Ji Di dodged it easily, but when she looked up, a black shadow passed by her ear. The ribbon that tied her hair broke, and her hair spread out. The strong wind blew her waist-length hair in the wind, covering most of her face.

"You are despicable and shameless. You are unworthy of being a gentleman by using such despicable means." Ji Di cursed loudly and guessed what the other party was planning.

Her hair was all over her face, and she couldn't see anything. Just as she was pulling her hair in panic, Jiang Muxia rushed over and put the sword on her neck as she expected.

In the light of the fire, Ji Di's eyes were bloodshot and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could eat her alive.

"I am a woman, what does a gentleman have to do with me?" Jiang Muxia smiled brightly, and fearing that she couldn't hear her voice, she spoke loudly in her ear, making Ji Di's head buzz.

"Put down your swords. I have already subdued your leader. If you know the truth, confess your crime and accept the punishment. You can still live. Otherwise, you will end up like the King of Lingnan."

The men in black looked at each other, then at Ji Di, and suddenly didn't know what to choose.

Ji Di laughed bitterly, "Brothers, what does it matter if we die? It is an honor to die for the Lord."

When these people were wondering what to choose, many men in black rushed out from the backyard, and the Tang Mansion guards followed closely behind them with long swords in hand.

The two sides were in a state of confrontation, and Jiang Muxia immediately saw Tang Shiyan walking in front.

What shocked her was that Hu Yu held a long dagger against his neck and took him towards the gate of the mansion.

Tang San led a group of guards closely behind them.

What's going on? How did Hu Yu become the other party's man?

Hu Yu saw Jiang Muxia subduing Ji Di, and quickly retreated to the second door, shouting, "Miss Jiang, I advise you to release Guard Ji. I promise not to harm Lord Tang, and after we get out of this, I will make sure he is safe."

"Bah." Tang Shiyan cursed with a gloomy face, then turned to look at Jiang Muxia and said firmly: "Don't worry about me. Such traitors are a disaster to the government and bring disaster to the people. If you kill them, I will die with my eyes closed."

The situation was in a dilemma. Ji Di could not be let go, and Tang Shiyan could not let Hu Yu kidnap him.

Ji Di laughed loudly, "Jiang Muxia, he is your future father-in-law. Do you dare to ignore him? Will Tang Zhongbai resent you? Otherwise, let's give it a try?"

"Don't move. My knife has no eyes."

"So what?" Ji Di's eyes were crazy, and she yelled at Hu Yu, "Master Hu, we can't escape anyway, so why don't we kill this guard dog and go down to see the prince together."

Ji Di has made up his mind to die, and at the last moment, he might as well fight to the death.

At the critical moment, a team of officials rushed in from the gate of the mansion. Behind them, a middle-aged man in official robes, covered in dust, clasped his fists towards Tang Shiyan and said, "Sorry, Lord Tang, I went to the Lou family to put out the fire first, so I'm late."

He looked at Hu Yu with puzzled eyes and said, "Master Hu, why are you doing this? Master Tang has been so kind to us, you can't hurt him. Listen to my advice and put down the knife quickly."

"Sir Zhang, didn't you go home to mourn your father's death? Why are you back?" Tang Shiyan asked.

"I accidentally heard that there was a traitor who wanted to harm you and Lord Lou, so I rushed back overnight without paying attention to etiquette, but I didn't expect that I was still a step too late. Lord Lou...he was murdered at home."

Everyone was shocked, thinking that their target was only the Tang Mansion, but they didn't expect them to attack Lou Xiaofeng first.

Zhang Qingxiang was about to persuade Hu Yu when he was scolded by him.

"Get out of here, you villain. You are always trying to curry favor with the powerful. If I kill him, you will be the next one." Hu Yu spat in his face.

Jiang Muxia's attention has always been on Ji Di, originally to prevent her from bumping into the sword blade, until Zhang Qingxiang rushed in, she suddenly found that Ji Di's eyes lit up, as if some hope rose in him.
