An Unwelcome Guest Arrives

Late at night, Fang Xiaoyu listened as the sounds from the front courtyard gradually quieted down. He found himself staring at a delicate face in front of him, lost in thought.

As expected, the face before him bore a striking resemblance to Li Meinu. but it was even more perfect. Especially now, Leiting was only eighteen, at the peak of her beauty, with skin as tender as jade, even softer than that of an infant.

Under Fang Xiaoyu's intense gaze, Leitina's delicate face turned red with embarrassment. She sneaked a glance at him but quickly lowered her head, too shy to look up again.

Looking at Leiting's exquisite face, Fang Xiaovu felt a surge of heat in his heart. He gently lifted her jade-like chin, making her meet his gaze. Seeing her bashful reaction, he smiled and said. "My lady, let's drink our wedding toast!"

Leiting, overwhelmed with shyness, looked at Fang Xiaoyu's handsome face. Her heart pounded, and she couldn't help but recall the first time she met him eight years ago.

From that day on, Fang Xiaoyu's image was etched into her heart. Eight vears passed, and instead of fading, that image became clearer, until the moment the veil was lifted. and Fang Xiaoyu's face merged with the image in her heart.

In a daze, Leiting felt herself being lifted by a pair of strong arms and placed on the bed.

By the time Leiting regained her senses, her clothes had mysteriously disappeared, and she felt a sharp painbelow, causing her to cry out softly.

Endless springtime, a night of passion.

"Kill them! Charge in! Don't let therebels escape!"

In the middle of the night, Fang Xiaoyu, who is sleeping soundly with his beloved in his arms, was suddenly awakened by the sound of shouting and fighting.

He quickly got up, pulling the quilt with him, revealing Leiting's fair and delicate body, still drowsy from sleep.

Startled, Leiting let out a cry, but Fang Xiaoyu had no time to care for anything else. With a solemn expression, he said, "Leiting, quickly get dressed. Something's about to happen."

Leiting could hear the faint commotion outside. Though shocked that someone would dare to attack both the Lei and Fang families at this time, seeing her husband's reaction, she knew things were serious.

Soon, Fang Xiaoyu saw his father Fang De and mother Miao Cuihua being protected by the household quards as they retreated.

"Father, Mother, what's going on? Who dares to attack the Fang family?"

Fang De looked dejected. Seeing that Ordo was leading the soldiers. he knew his identity had been exposed. He said to Fang Xiaoyu, "There's a long story behind this. You must take Leiting and escape. Leave this to me."

Knowing his father was thinking of him, even though they hadn't spent much time together over the years, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't bring himself to leave his father behind.

Moreover, his mission was to protect Fang De and kill Ordo. Even without that mission, he couldn't be so cold-hearted as to abandon his family.

"You're a tough dog, let me show you my fist

Hearing the familiar voice, Fang Xiaoyu recognized it as his brother Fang Shiyu. Despite his brother's impressive skills, it seemed he was facina a formidable opponent, likely none other than Ordo, the Commander of the Nine Gates from the capital.

Ordo.

Fang Xiaoyu's heart raced with excitement. After nearly ten years of hard training, the moment to face Ordo had finally come. With a loud shout, he leaped into the fray.

With a flurry of punches and kicks, dozens of soldiers around him were sent fleeing in panic, some writhing on the ground in pain with broken bones.

Just then, Fang Xiaoyu saw Fang Shiyu being overpowered by a man in a brocade robe, who resembled Zhao Wenzhuo in his younger days, his face exuding a menacing aura.

With a tiger's claw, the man tore a piece of flesh from Fang Shivu's shoulder. retaliated with a powerful punch to Ordo's chest, forcing him to step back.

Fang Shiyu grunted in pain but

"Shivu, protect our parents and take them to safetv. Leave this to me.

Fang Shiyu quickly bandaged his shoulder and, though eager to help, nodded reluctantly, saying, "Big brother, be careful of that dog officer. His iron sand palm is deadly."

Fang Xiaoyu scoffed, "What, don't you trust vour big brother?"

Then, turning to Ordo, he said, "With such a noble presence, this small city of Guangzhou can hardly contain you. I take it you're from the capital?"

Ordo, slightly bowing his head, lightly stroked the jade ring on his thumb. Suddenly, he stomped on the ground, sending a large stone slab flying towards Fang Xiaovu. He sneered. "I am Ordo, Commander of the Nine Gates, here to arrest the traitor Fang De and his family. Remember who killed you."

The moment Fang Xiaoyu saw Ordo, he knew this was the taraet of his mission.

He hadn't expected that Ordo, despite his high status, would stoop to such underhanded tactics.

The stone slab came hurtling towards Fang Xiaoyu, but with a practiced move, he shattered it with a punch.

Ordo, gripping his long braid and wrapping it around his neck, bit down on its end, and charged at Fang Xiaoyu with ferocious intent.

While facing Ordo, Fang Xiaoyu kept an eye on the situation in the rear courtyard. He had anticipated this attack long ago, so unlike Fang De and Fang Shiyu, who were caught off guard by Ordo's sudden assault, Fang Xiaoyu remained calm and composed.

Fang Xiaoyu wasn't too worried about Ordo. Thanks to the arrangements he had made in advance, he was confident that Ordo would fail in his mission. If Ordo was unlucky, he might even be killed by Fang Xiaoyu.

A squad of strong Green Standard Army soldiers, led by General Suhade, surrounded Fang Xiaoyu from all directions, their arrows aimed at him from a distance.
