1480 The Night of Blood and Flame (1/2)
Zhang Yang contacted Zhang Tie three times; however, he received no response. Therefore, Zhang Yang felt a bit gloomy.
However, Zhang Yang didn't think that Zhang Tie would encounter any danger at this moment. Firstly, most of the people didn't know Zhang Tie's current situation. In Zhang Tie's words, only sage-level demon knights dared find him trouble. Secondly, Zhang Tie was in Golden Light City in the territory of Huaiyuan Palace. Thirdly, Zhang Yang had failed to contact Zhang Tie many times before due to various reasons. In many cases, Zhang Tie contacted him. Therefore, Zhang Yang didn't imagine the worst scenario.
Zhang Yang even doubted that Zhang Tie had some love sparkles with his senior sister apprentices after having a drink. As Zhang Tie was ”busy”, he didn't respond to Zhang Yang timely.
As Zhang Tie's elder brother, Zhang Yang understood Zhang Tie better than anyone else. Zhang Yang knew that Zhang Tie was amorous and soft-hearted. Additionally, Zhang Tie was extremely attractive to women at this moment. Furthermore, as a man, Zhang Yang knew men's shortcomings. In this case, if Zhang Tie lost his mind, he would really sleep with his senior sister apprentices. In Zhang Yang's eyes, given Zhang Tie's status, it was nothing serious for him to do that.
Out of the concern for Zhang Tie's health, Zhang Yang contacted an executive of Jinwu Business Group in Golden Light City, having him assign someone to Wild Lake Building to check Zhang Tie's situation.
Whereas, Zhang Yang didn't know that Wild Lake Building had caught a big fire too when the valley in Jinwu City was burning.
At this moment, the pines and the reeds around Wild Lake Building as well as those buildings in Wild Lake Building were all burning, scaring waterfowls away from the water nearby. However, it was quiet across Wild Lake Building as nobody was alive.
The big fire wiped out all the malicious traces.
...
After Zhang Yang arrived at the valley 20 minutes later, a shadow had climbed over Zhang mansion's high wall. The moment it rolled into the courtyard, a voice had sounded, ”Who's that?”
Closely after that were collisions between sabers and swords, muffled voices and miserable shrieks. Zhang mansion was in a big chaos.
Such a night was destined to be chaotic. How could Zhang Tie's parents sleep well? When they were waiting for news in the parlor, unexpectedly, they heard collisions between sabers and swords.
”Lord and Madam, please go to the basement for the sake of your safety. A group of assassinators intruded into our mansion. We would never let them in with the help of Mr. Liu!”
When Zhang Tie's parents felt a bit flurried, the head of guards in Zhang mansion had entered the parlor with a team of armored guards who were holding weapons and shields. They formed two circles around the mansion of Zhang Tie's parents.
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Ping asked the head of guards, ”How about Zhang Yang's mansion?”
”Don't worry, Lord, I've already transferred young master's wives and children into the basement. Only after a short while, these assassinators would be solved!” The head of guards answered in low voice.
”Lord and Madam, please wait. As there're too many assassinators, at the order of the young master, I will protect you to hide from them outside the mansion...”
The moment Zhang Tie's parents were going into the basement, they had heard a voice from outside the mansion. At the same time, Mr. Liu approached them with a glassy-eyed look from the garden.
At the sight of Mr. Liu, Zhang Tie's parents were both shocked as they didn't know whose words to follow, Mr. Liu or the head of guards.
At the sight of Mr. Liu, the head of guards frowned at once. It was not reasonable for Mr. Liu to appear here at this moment; he should be killing assassinators outside. ”Is that the order of the young master? But we've not received that order!”
”The young master contacted me just now using remote-sensing finger ring. Give way to me. I will take away Lord and Madam!” Mr. Liu said in the courtyard as he watched the wall of guards outside the mansion of Zhang Tie's parents.
”Mr. Liu, please wait for a second. I will contact the young master to confirm it. No matter what, we should have a plan B for any emergency. We've been told by the young master. In this case, as long as Lord and Madam hide in the back room, even knights couldn't break the backroom in a short period, not to mention those assassinators outside!” The head of guards said as he took out his portable remote-sensing device to contact Zhang Yang.
