Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Chapter 143: World Acclaim_1

Tian Weijun saw King Liang’s gloomy face. He took the letter and tucked it into his chest, not daring to linger, and immediately exited.

Tian Weijun emerged from the side door, leaped onto his horse, and galloped away without noticing the whistle sound coming from behind him.

The dozen guards from Duke’s Mansion stationed at the exits of King Liang’s Mansion heard Xiao Ruohai’s secret whistle and swiftly headed toward the source of the sound, chasing after Tian Weijun…

Unfortunately, Tian Weijun was focused solely on moving forward and did not notice the highly skilled figures pursuing him from behind.

Tian Weijun galloped to a secluded spot in North Alley, dismounted at a shop selling paper offerings.

Xiao Ruohai’s raised hand signals changed. Soon, as Tian Weijun knocked on the door, highly skilled guards silently surrounded the shop.

...

The shop was small, looking quite old and dilapidated.

Tian Weijun, in his haste, did not tether his horse and urgently knocked on the door. Xiao Ruohai’s hawk-like eyes fixated on Tian Weijun. As soon as the door opened, Xiao Ruohai’s raised hand clenched tightly.

Four or five guards leaped from the roof, and the chains encircled Tian Weijun’s neck just as he opened his mouth to utter the first sound. Two guards pulled the chains, capturing Tian Weijun alive just as he was about to speak.

The sudden turn of events carried an intense aura of danger. Inside the house, upon hearing noise from the rooftop, Gao Sheng immediately reacted… Retreating while swiftly drawing his sword.

Seeing Tian Weijun restrained, Gao Sheng pivoted on his toes and leaped out of the house. The sword intent was pressing, but it was not to save anyone; it was directed straight at Tian Weijun.

Gao Sheng moved so quickly that the Bai family’s guards saw only a vague shadow rush by. Before they could draw their swords, Gao Sheng’s sword had already pierced Tian Weijun’s chest.

However, to Gao Sheng’s surprise, his sword only penetrated half an inch into Tian Weijun’s flesh before it could go no further. He turned his head, locking eyes with Xiao Ruohai’s calm and steady pupils, instantly sensing the strong threat from Xiao Ruohai. Gao Sheng quickly leaped back to shield the door.

The two engaged in a brief, lightning-fast exchange. Even the highly skilled Bai family guards could only see a remnant shadow as the confrontation ended.

Gao Sheng stared at Xiao Ruohai, who wielded both a longsword and a short knife, greatly alarmed. This person could not only stop his swift sword but also wielded a longsword and a short knife at the same time!

If Gao Sheng had hesitated even for a moment earlier, Xiao Ruohai’s short knife would have pierced his neck.

A feeling of inexplicable joy surged in Gao Sheng’s heart, much like standing atop a high mountain and finally meeting a worthy opponent!

However, this was not the right time for a duel. He had his responsibilities and mission.

Not giving Gao Sheng a chance to catch his breath, Xiao Ruohai attacked first. The remaining Bai family guards had already rushed into the shop selling paper offerings.

Inside, the clash of swords and the cry of pain from Liu Huanzhang sounded. Gao Sheng’s eyes narrowed, unable to shake off Xiao Ruohai.

According to plan, the guards captured Liu Huanzhang and took him towards Wude Gate. Hearing the commotion, Gao Sheng turned back inside, with Xiao Ruohai following.

The guard folded the letter and placed it in his chest. “Let’s follow the plan and take this lackey to Wude Gate! Move quickly!” _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}
