Chapter 288 is coming.
Upon hearing this, Wu You and He Xiaohui also ended their exchange on mechanical arts.
"Master, young master, just now, a servant discovered that a figure crawled out of the dry well in the backyard of Baishui Garden."
“We followed your orders, young master, and hid in the shadows without alerting him. We watched him search the other rooms. I’m coming over right away to inform you.”
"Good, good, good! They actually dared to come!" Fang Duobing exclaimed excitedly, slamming his hand on the table.
"Quickly gather the people from the other parts of the mansion. Be quick. Once everyone is here, start activating the mechanisms we prepared earlier."
"Yes." The servant acknowledged the order and left.
"Of all the servants, half will stay to protect you, and the other half will come with me."
After saying this, Fang Duobing turned to look at He Xiaohui: "Mother, you stay here for now, I'll be right back."
“I’ll go with them too,” He Xiaohui quickly said.
"mother···"
"Fang Xiaobao, your objection is invalid." He Xiaohui's attitude was firm.
"Li Lianhua, let's go and see this so-called King Yama."
Wu You held Li Lianhua's hand, unable to suppress her desire to watch the excitement.
“Then let’s go take a look,” Li Lianhua replied softly.
"Alright, those who want to go can come together. Hurry up, lest the King of Hell sense something's wrong and try to run away. But you all stand at the back, don't come to the front."
After pondering for three seconds, Fang Duobing decisively gave up trying to dissuade him. It was better to go and check on him quickly than to waste time trying to dissuade him; dissuasion might not be effective, but it would certainly be a waste of time.
"Let's go." After saying that, Fang Duobing picked up his Erya sword and ran quickly towards Baishuiyuan. Behind him, a large group of people followed.
Besides Li Lianhua, Wu You, Hall Master He, and the servants, Li'er and several other young maids also went along.
There's no other reason than that all the servants here have already fled. There's no guarantee of safety for them if they stay here, so it's better for them to go with them.
As everyone ran over, a large crowd had already gathered outside the wall of a courtyard near Baishuiyuan.
They were all servants who had just arrived from other parts of the mansion. Now, with the addition of those brought by Fang Duobing, the courtyard was completely surrounded.
"How is it?" Fang Duobing asked anxiously.
"Young master, the one that came out of Baishuiyuan is searching through the various houses and is almost out of the courtyard."
"Alright, open the courtyard gate. Let me, your young master, take a look and see if the people inside are human or ghosts!" Fang Duobing drew his sword and ordered.
"Yes." The servant acknowledged the order and gestured to the other two to open it together.
As the courtyard gate opened, and under the bright moonlight, Fang Duobinghao watched as a man dressed in black night clothes with a cloth covering his face stormed out of a room.
"Who are you, daring to break into this house in the middle of the night? What is your purpose? State your name."
Fang Duobing roared, but to his surprise, the man in black, seeing so many people around, did not dodge or evade, but instead raised his palm to attack.
"Fire arrows."
Seeing the thieves' actions, Fang Duobing gave an order, and the guards hidden outside the courtyard instantly nocked their bows on the wall. In the next instant, dozens of feathered swords shot towards the men in black.
Seeing the rain of arrows falling, the man in black had no choice but to backflip and quickly hide behind a wooden beam.
A volley of arrows rained down, and while the servants were changing their nocks, the man in black seized the opportunity to attack again.
