C351 The Battle Between the Dragon and the Tiger

When Gu Zhentang saw who it was, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Lu Bing!?"

It was the Embroidered Uniform Guard's commander, Lu Bing. When he heard this, he laughed and said, "It's me! I wonder why Sir Gu has mobilized so many people?"

Gu Zhentang did not answer but asked instead, "I wonder why Lord Lu rushed here in such a hurry."

Lu Bing still laughed and said, "Sir Gu does not know. I have received a secret report that there are people from the Jianghu causing trouble here. Because of my duty, I had to come and see for myself. Lord Gu, please look. The corpses here are in a mess. It's obvious that the secret report is true. " Lu Bing turned his head and glanced at Du Qi and the others. He continued, "Needless to say, these people must be involved in this matter. It seems like... I have to bring them back to the yamen and ask them properly! "

When he heard this, Gu Zhentang could not help but be stunned. He forced a smile and said, "What a coincidence. This Gu came here to settle the matter. Now that I have taken control of the situation, these people are like turtles in a jar. There is no need to trouble Lord Lu."

Lu Bing suddenly restrained his smile and fiercely stared at Gu Zhentang. He sternly said, "Nonsense! The news of something happening here only came this morning and this Lu has been with the Emperor since yesterday afternoon. Just now after bidding farewell to the Emperor, I came straight here. When did you get the Emperor's decree?"

Gu Zhentang sneered and said, "Calming the chaos and governing is this seat's responsibility. This seat carrying out my duty is to follow the decree and do things. What is the use of asking for another decree? This group of criminals, this seat has decided. If there is nothing else, Lord Lu can do as he pleases. "

Lu Bing said without giving in, "Dealing with such a major incident in the Jianghu is one of the responsibilities of Embroidered Uniform Guard. Even if Lord Gu takes these people away, he will have to hand them over to me for investigation. Since I have come in person, I will take them away along the way. It's a small matter like catching criminals. Lord Gu, you don't have to trouble yourself."

Gu Zhentang knew that what Lu Bing said wasn't false. He really couldn't compete with Lu Bing about catching a criminal. However, he did not want to watch Lu Bing take these people away. He had always been quick-witted, but he did not know how to respond to Lu Bing's words. He stopped Lu Bing's actions.

Just as Zhen Tang was at a loss, Third Young Master Zhu, who was behind him, suddenly rode forward. Standing in front of Gu Zhentang, he looked at Lu Bing and said politely, "Lord Lu, please. This is very important to me. These people are related to me. Lord Lu, can I take these people back and ask them about it? After this, I will report the result to Lord Lu in detail. Lord Lu has done me a favor. I will remember it in my heart. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Lu Bing was not moved by Third Young Master Zhu's words. He said firmly, "No, I must get these people! Third Young Master should return early and not get involved in this matter. Otherwise, it might be disadvantageous to him. "

Third Young Master Zhu said, "Is Lord Lu trying to persuade me or is he threatening me?"

Lu Bing said coldly, "I am sincerely advising Third Young Master not to meddle in other people's business for the sake of Third Young Master. If Third Young Master doesn't know what's good for him and wants to get involved with this Gu guy, there will be no benefits at that time."

Third Young Master Zhu still said politely, "Lord Lu might not know, but I am also determined to get this group of people! How about this, that Young Master and his followers will belong to me, and the rest of the people will be left to Lord Lu. What do you think? "

Lu Bing still firmly refused, "No! This group of people must be taken away by me. Third young master, please do not interfere with this Lu's actions! "

Seeing Lu Bing rejecting his proposal again and again, Third Young Master Zhu's heart was filled with unhappiness. If he allowed Lu Bing to take Du Qi and the others away, it wouldn't hurt his reputation if this matter was spread out. However, letting Du Qi and the others go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard's yamen to bear the terrifying consequences was the most unacceptable. Therefore... Third Young Master Zhu was unwilling to let Lu Bing take Du Qi and the others away, so he said in a tough tone, "No matter what, I must take these people away. Lord Lu, please go back. There is nothing for you here!"

Lu Bing sneered and said, "Are you forcing me to become hostile?"

Third Young Master Zhu also sneered and said," Lord Lu, please look clearly. This place is full of our people. What right do you have to fall out with us? Listen to my good advice. Lord Lu, you'd better go back. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite. "

Hearing this, Lu Bing suddenly burst into a long laugh. This laugh was vigorous and loud. It shook people's ears until their eardrums hurt. It spread far away like a lightning bolt. After the long laugh, Lu Bing seized the opportunity and shouted, "Ignorant child who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. It's fine if you don't listen to my kind words of advice. How dare you challenge me? Open your little eyes and see clearly. What right do you have to be rude to me?"

Before Lu Bing's laughter could fade, countless people suddenly rushed out from the surrounding roofs like ghosts. All of them were wearing flying fish clothes, which indicated that they were experts from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

As soon as those experts from the Embroidered Uniform Guard appeared, they pounced on those archers like ghosts. Those archers only focused on the changes in the situation on the battlefield, and did not notice that someone was approaching them from behind. Without realizing it, their acupoints were sealed and they withered on the roof. There were even those unlucky ones... After being struck, they rolled down the roof like pieces of wood. Dust flew up from the front and back of the house, and miserable groans could be heard. It was obvious that many of the archers were injured.

Seeing this, Third Young Master Zhu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Lu Bing, you dare to order your subordinates to hurt the soldiers? Do you still have the law in your eyes?"

Gu Zhentang saw that the elite soldiers he had trained with great effort were restrained by the Embroidered Uniform Guard in just a short period of time. Many of them were seriously injured. For a moment, in just a short period of time... He couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, as well as the past disputes and conflicts. Gu Zhentang and Third Young Master Zhu almost shouted at the same time, "Surnamed Lu, you, you are going too far! Watch the spear!"

As he shouted, Gu Zhentang shook the steel spear in his hand, and thirteen spear flowers the size of bowls appeared. Suddenly, they floated up from the horse's back, and scattered a brilliant light that filled the sky. With strands of fierce howl in his hand, he shot towards Lu Bing's body with an irresistible force. Gu Zhentang's spear was the essence of his life's spear. Before the momentum of the spear could be formed, it had already sealed off all of Lu Bing's escape routes. It seemed like Gu Zhentang wanted to kill Lu Bing with a single spear strike.

Lu Bing saw that Gu Zhentang had finally become angry from embarrassment and took the initiative to attack him. This was exactly what he wanted. He looked coldly at Gu Zhentang's spear shooting towards him, but Lu Bing remained calm and unmoving. Instead, his face revealed a trace of a happy smile, but he shouted in a cold voice, "A grain of rice pearl is also emitting light? Go back!"

As he spoke, Lu Bing leisurely drew his sword, waved his hand casually, and cut into Gu Zhentang's spear flower without the slightest hesitation. A series of rapid metal clashing sounds rang out, and a muffled groan suddenly rang out.

With a muffled groan, Lu Bing's sword suddenly shone brightly. The spear shadows that filled the sky suddenly dissipated. Gu Zhentang, who was dragging the steel spear backwards, fell from the sky. He landed heavily on the ground, stirring up a thick cloud of dust.
