Chapter 87: Finding the Western City Governor's Manor

  Li Ran swiftly walked onto the main street.

  The City West Mansion occupies a vast area, and it's not hard to find. Li Ran only asked three people before finding the building. It was on a wide street with few pedestrians. On both sides of the street stood a row of tall, dark green stone walls, guarded by two stone lions in front. In the center, a large crimson gate was tightly closed.

  Li Ran quickly walked a few steps and arrived at the door, looked up and saw a large golden plaque above with three big characters - Cheng Xi Fu.

  Li Rando nodded, knowing that there was no mistake, and stepped up the high steps to prepare for going forward. The vermilion gate creaked open, and two robust men in leather armor were chatting and laughing as they came out. Suddenly seeing Li Rando rushing towards the gate, both of them were stunned at the same time.

  He saw that the young man had a well-proportioned body, with a hint of elegance between his eyebrows, wearing a gray robe with an extraordinary cut, and having a kind of simple yet dignified demeanor.

  Although they were young, the two men did not dare to underestimate them. One of them stepped out of the gate and took a big step forward, stretching out his hand towards Li Ran's knife and shouting: "Halt! This is the West City Government Office, not a place for idlers to come and go as they please. Who are you? What brings you here?"

  Li Ran Dao lightly saluted and asked in a low voice: "Two of you, I'd like to ask who is the person in charge of the West City Prefecture?"

  Those two sturdy men saw that the young man was still humble and not arrogant in front of the west city gate, and they were even more suspicious. One of them furrowed his brow and asked: "Whose family are you from? If you really have something to say, it's better to let your family elder come forward, or you can tell me first and see if I can help you report it."

  Li Ran Dao nodded slightly: "I heard that just now the City West Prefecture caught a hunter named Yu Yuan Tu, I want to take him back."

  Those two burly men in leather armor changed color instantly when they heard this.

  Li Rendao's words were plain, but they carried a big tone. The two sturdy men furrowed their brows and looked at Li Rendao again, only to see that he was dressed properly, without anything particularly extraordinary about him. However, it was precisely this young man's background that was not ordinary, and the City West Mansion didn't take him lightly either.

  In Linfeng City, who is afraid of the West Palace?

  Two burly men simultaneously sneered and nodded at each other, one of them took a step forward, stretched out his arm and said: "Youngster, you dare to come to the City West Mansion to cause trouble? You don't even ask around to find out what kind of place this is. I'd like to ask, who's your father? Aren't you afraid that your recklessness will implicate your whole family?"

  The opponent's goalkeeper was so arrogant, Li Ran's murderous intention in his heart grew stronger. He had originally planned to ask some questions to see how he could end the game peacefully, but now it seemed that this idea was a bit naive.

  Another sturdy man hastily grabbed Li Ruo's knife and turned back to interrogate him, his face full of ferocity: "You little brat, since you know about this matter, it seems that today you can't escape being involved. Come quietly with me, and wait for your family's elder to come and bail you out. Otherwise, you'll have a taste of this bitter suffering..."

  A sturdy big hand swiftly grasped towards Lǐ Rán Dāo, a fierce gust of wind clawed towards Lǐ Rán Dāo's chest.

  Li Ran's face was expressionless, but a killing intent had already been born in his heart. He gazed coldly at the big man who had brought his hand to his chest. Suddenly, Li Ran's body lightly shifted to one side and dodged, and one of his hands somehow grasped the big man's wrist. With a burst of strength, he pulled forward, and the big man felt an overwhelming force bearing down on him. His body involuntarily flew forward with great speed.

  Li Ran's knife flashed in mid-air and struck the robust man's chest with a loud crash.

  The two forces collided, and the strong man let out a loud scream, spewing out a large mouthful of blood, and his entire body instantly withered away.

  The strong Han was suddenly stunned.

  That martial arts master brother, the one who was surrounded by a group of people and beat them all to the ground, how could he be taken down with just one or two moves?

  Before he could think twice, Li Ruo Dao strode towards him with large steps. This sturdy man subconsciously drew out his waist knife, and by the time he heard a "ka" sound beside his ear, his waist knife was already severed into two segments by Li Ruo Dao's two fingers.

  Li Ran's knife flashed back, and the broken half of his waist knife plunged into the man's shoulder with a "plop", a jet of blood spurted out, and the robust man let out a painful "ah" as he stumbled and fell to the ground.

  Since it can't be done gently, everything has to be sought fiercely and quickly. Uncle Yu doesn't know what kind of suffering he's enduring inside, but Li Ran's knife doesn't have time to linger here.

  Li Ranno expression on his face, coldly stepped up the stairs, suddenly lifted one foot, with a loud bang, smoke and dust flew everywhere, the force was like a mountain flood bursting out, the thick crimson gate burst open in four or five pieces, Li Ranno charged straight in.

  The momentum of this move completely stunned the two, and they didn't even have time to care about their physical pain. They were scared pale by Li Ran's kick on the door.

  This is the west gate of the city.

  Who dares to be so presumptuous? Is it going to go against the entire Linfeng City?

  Bursting through the gate, a small bluestone plaza comes into view, with houses standing on both sides, and a straight bluestone road leading deep into the courtyard.

  Li Ruo's sword was just about to step in, when suddenly five leather-armored guards rushed out from the two houses on either side. One of them, who looked like a team leader, had an iron-green face that was almost twisted, and he glared at the damaged gate, bellowing: "What's going on? What's going on here?"

  The guard who was stabbed in the armpit struggled to get up and ran in, pointing at Li Nian's knife and shouting: "Captain, that little brat wants us to release Yu Yuan Tu from the West City Prison, he kicked open the big gate with one kick."

  The captain's whole body trembled with rage and he shouted: "Rebel, rebel! Don't you dare take this little brat away from me!"

  The guard with a knife in his shoulder sheath said in a low voice: "Captain, this kid is quite something..."

  The captain was furious, and at this moment, he didn't care about anything else. His responsibility was to guard the gate, but the big gate had been kicked open. If blame came down, the captain's head would be in danger. At this moment, he didn't have time to analyze how Li Ran's knife was used. If he didn't catch this little brat immediately, the captain wouldn't want to live anymore.

  "Come on, hurry up!" he shouted, opening his arms wide to either side.

  Four guards beside him also turned pale with fright, and swiftly drew their waist knives to charge at Li Ran together. The four long knives whizzed towards Li Ran's body.

  Li Ran's footsteps were light and quick, his hands slanted and pulled, amidst the whooshing sounds, four guards grabbed each other, four knives somehow ended up stuck in their comrades' bodies, the four of them simultaneously let go, a blood-curdling scream, they retreated in unison, their faces pale with shock and horror, completely unaware of what had just happened, the knife that was chopping through the air suddenly changed direction, and with even greater force stabbed towards the person beside him.

  Is that witchcraft?

  Li Ran's knife lightly took a step forward, and with one swift motion, he stepped right in front of the captain, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

  The captain suddenly felt his strength disappear without a trace, and he couldn't even struggle back, his body suspended in mid-air, his face red with suffocation. It was only then that he realized how scared he was, and it was only then that he remembered that the one who dared to kick open the west gate of the city must not be an ordinary person.

  "Good fellow, spare my life, spare my life..."

  The captain squeezed out his voice from his throat.

  Li Ran's voice was laced with a hint of coldness as he asked faintly, "I've come to ask you, where is the hunter Yuantu now?"

  "Yu Yuan Tu......this person doesn't exist......"

  The captain's eyes rolled around, still waiting to lie, Li Ran's knife five fingers slightly exerted force, the captain felt like five iron hoops were about to strangle his neck, his throat made a rapid clicking sound, unable to take in a breath, and his vision went black. The captain was so scared that his soul flew out of his body, and he hastily nodded vigorously.

  Li Ran's knife loosened its grip on Wu Zong's five fingers: "Where is Yu Yuan Tu now? If you don't answer this time, I'll strangle you to death directly!"

  Li Ran's voice had a hint of death in it.

  The longer the delay, the more dangerous it is for Yu Shu. Li Ran's knife doesn't know how much blood has been shed by others now, and his heart is almost boiling with anxiety. Where is there time to grind teeth with this captain? The words "I want to strangle you to death" are not half a threat.

  Li Ran's knife hand relaxed, and the captain took a deep breath, rolling his eyes and pointing inward: "It's... it's just inside the third courtyard."

  Li Ran Dao listened and didn't say another word, carrying the captain in his hand like a wild dog, rushing inward, and feeling that this road was so long as they rushed through the deep courtyard.

  A person's body can only hold so much blood, and Uncle Yu was caught at a critical moment. If he didn't receive timely treatment, I'm afraid they would have bled him dry, and by then it would be too late for regrets.
