Chapter 30

Han Bo immediately spotted Yu Hezheng and Meng Wu, and exclaimed, "Hey, look over there. Isn't that Roland's lackey? And that girl, wow, she's the one who framed Young Master Yun the other day!"

Chen Zhen also jumped up, took a few large steps forward, and said, "Damn! I thought the one who framed Young Master Yun was that bastard Lan Fei, but it turns out to be you, this lackey!"

Yu Hezheng's face changed, and he angrily said, "Who are you two? I don't know you!" He scanned them with his divine sense and found that both were extremely weak, so he immediately relaxed and coldly shouted, "Count to three and get lost!"

Han Bo sneered, "What a big shot you are. We don't know who you are, but you must know Young Master Yun, right? Roland is the girl Young Master Yun has his eye on, and you dare to pursue her? You really don't want to live anymore?"

Yu Hezheng's heart skipped a beat. They were actually Li Yunxiao's people! In the past, he might have looked down on this playboy, but now he didn't have the courage at all.

Chen Zhen slapped the table and shouted, "Not dealing with you doesn't mean I won't deal with you! This isn't the academy. Do you believe me if I call a group of people to take you down right now?!"

Yu Hezheng's face changed several times. He knew that those who followed Li Yunxiao were all the children of high-ranking officials in the kingdom's military. Outside the academy, these playboys could do anything in the capital.

He deliberately showed a look of disdain and said loudly, "Senior, I don't have time to fool around with you playboys. I need to go back and practice. I don't know this girl, and you can't frame me!"

He raised his head high and walked out of the bar with a swagger.

"Ha, if our people weren't all out looking for someone, I would make you kneel and crawl out today," Chen Zhen said with a look of disdain.

Han Bo waved his hand and said, "Don't bother with this trash. Damn, do you think Young Master Yun is fine? The Alchemist Guild and the National Guard have both been mobilized. Even an ant in the capital should have been found by now."

Chen Zhen frowned and sighed, "Who knows, Young Master Yun has changed so much recently that I'm not used to it anymore." He suddenly noticed Meng Wu was still there and said coldly, "Why aren't you leaving? Do you want to stay and have some fun with us?"

Meng Wu's face turned red with embarrassment, and she clenched her teeth, "The Young Master you mentioned earlier, is it Li Yunxiao?"

Chen Zhen angrily said, "Isn't it the Young Master Yun who was framed by you? Damn, did you frame him to death this time too?"

Meng Wu was stunned and muttered, "How could it be? It's been three days, and the Li family hasn't rescued him yet?"

"What?" Han Bo was shocked, jumped up from his chair, and grabbed her, "What did you just say? What do you know?"

"I...," Meng Wu was flustered and stammered a few words before recounting everything that happened that day in detail.

Han Bo and Chen Zhen exchanged a glance, both showing shock and anxiety.

Chen Zhen angrily said, "Such an important matter, why didn't you tell us earlier!"

Meng Wu was almost in tears, "I already reported to the Li family, and the head of the Li family told me to be at ease."

Han Bo's expression darkened, and he shouted, "Did you see the Duke of Jingguo?"

Meng Wu shook her head and cried, "No, it was one of their servants who reported it."

"No wonder!" Chen Zhen stomped his foot, "This is trouble now. We need to gather people and rescue him quickly!"

Han Bo grabbed him, "Hold on, the Long family controls the Imperial Guard, which is directly managed by His Majesty. If we rashly bring people to rescue him, it will be a serious crime!"

Chen Zhen said anxiously, "What should we do? We can't rely on the Duke of Jingguo."

Han Bo calmly said, "It's been three days, so there's no need to rush. Go and inform Master Zhang and Teacher Luo immediately. If they intervene, even the Imperial Guard will have to back off!"

"Right, I forgot about that in my panic!" Chen Zhen slapped his head and rushed out of the bar to report the news.

Han Bo glanced at the stunned Meng Wu, "You can't escape responsibility for this. Come with me."

The entire bar seemed to sense the gossip, and after they left, it erupted into a flurry of speculation.

At the Long residence.

Fourteen-year-old Long Ran was practicing the Tiger Subduing Fist, a martial technique suitable for all fierce martial disciples. Despite his young age, each punch he made produced a faint tiger roar.

"Father, you're back!" Long Ran suddenly stopped and ran happily to the middle-aged man who had just walked in from the gate.

"Hehe, Ran, your Tiger Subduing Fist has improved again!" Long Qing laughed, "You're much more diligent than your good-for-nothing brother. You will surely become a great talent in the future!"

Long Ran humbly said, "Brother is already a three-star warrior, and I'm still far behind. Father, why do you look unhappy? Is there something on your mind?"

Long Qing frowned, then smiled, "You noticed. The entire capital has been searching for a young man for three days, but they haven't found him. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, I'm under a lot of pressure."

Long Ran asked curiously, "Who is it? Why is everyone looking for him?"

Long Qing sighed, "The eldest grandson of the Duke of Jingguo, a playboy. I don't know why they're looking for him. By the way, where is your brother?"

Long Ran said, "Brother went to the dungeon. That guy broke his hand last time. It was just reconnected a few days ago. As soon as his arm recovered, he went to find that person, saying he would make him regret being born!"

"Humph!" Long Qing showed a hint of anger, "Always loafing around. As the captain of the Imperial Guard, he was even crippled by someone. What a waste!"

Long Ran suddenly said, "Father, that person was brought in by Brother three days ago. He's also a young man. Could he be the Li family's eldest grandson you're looking for?"

Long Qing was stunned and suddenly shouted, "Long Xin, Long Xin!"

A butler-like figure immediately ran over, "Master, what do you need?"

Long Qing's face was extremely dark, and he coldly shouted, "What was the name of the young man Brother brought in three days ago?"

Long Xin was taken aback and recalled, "It was... it was... something like Yun... something..."

"Phew, scared me to death!" Long Qing patted his chest, took a deep breath, and waved his hand, "Turns out his surname is Yun. No problem, you can go."

Long Xin said, "Oh, I remember now. His name isn't Yun, it's Yunxiao, and his surname is Li, Li Yunxiao."

"..."

Silence. The courtyard was silent, and only the sound of the cold wind and falling leaves could be heard. Long Qing suddenly felt very cold.

Long Ran was stunned, "Father, is it him?"

Long Qing was dazed, his mind buzzing, and sweat began to pour down his forehead. Thinking of the king's stern face, Master Zhang Qinfan's furious gaze, and Master Xu Han... although he was the commander of the Imperial Guard, he was just an ant compared to these people.

Heaven! He had mobilized all the city guards to search day and night for three days, and the person they were looking for was actually imprisoned in his own dungeon!

And this person was the eldest grandson of the Duke of Jingguo, the son of General Feilong...

Long Ran suddenly whispered, "It's been three days. Has Brother killed him?"

"Boom!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt in Long Qing's mind, making him feel numb all over, dizzy, and almost falling over.

"Ah!~"

Suddenly, a惨cry came from outside, followed by a commotion. Several servants rushed in, shouting, "Bad news, someone is breaking into the Long residence! Help!"

Long Qing, already feeling cold, was even more enraged by the intrusion. All his pent-up frustration turned into a surge of energy, and he opened his mouth, releasing a powerful sound wave. His Lion's Roar technique soared into the sky. His energy was so strong that the entire Long residence trembled, "Who dares to break into my residence? How dare you!"

The roar of a lion, terrifying all beasts!

Long Qing's strength was evident. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, he was a great martial artist at the Three Talents realm! Although the people in the Long residence were shaken by the sound, they all calmed down. Since the head of the household had taken action, the Long residence would be safe, and the intruders would be punished.

Just as everyone was calming down, a sound even more powerful than the Lion's Roar descended from the sky. The sound wave was forcibly focused into a line by true qi, suddenly bursting into the residence and exploding. The powerful sound wave spread throughout the courtyard, deafening everyone's eardrums instantly. Many servants even bled from their ears, falling to the ground in pain.

"The National Guard, under the orders of Commander Luo Yunshang and Master Zhang Qinfan, is temporarily taking over the Long residence! Any resistance will be punished as treason!"

"The National Guard? It's actually the National Guard?" Everyone in the Long residence was stunned, looking around in confusion, "Why the National Guard? Aren't we the Imperial Guard? Aren't we like brothers?"

Long Qing was shocked, and a chill ran down his spine. He felt a deep sense of despair. It had happened so quickly.

In a few moments, more than ten martial artists in various outfits appeared in the courtyard, all with lazy expressions but cold eyes. They were led by Luo Yunshang's Fourth Guard Team!

Long Qing's divine sense spread, and he found that they were all martial artists, each with a badge on their shoulder, confirming they were indeed from the National Guard!

At this moment, a group of people stepped through the gate, led by Zhang Qinfan, followed by Luo Yunshang, Xu Han, Jia Rong, and others from the Alchemist Guild.

Long Qing almost fainted, suppressing his inner despair, and hurriedly greeted them, "Master Zhang, Master Xu, Lord Luo, what does this mean?"

Zhang Qinfan bowed and said coldly, "I apologize, Lord Long."

Chen Zhen directly stepped out from behind and said angrily, "Lord Long, Young Master Yun is imprisoned in your residence! No wonder the entire capital couldn't find him for three days. It turns out you had him locked up!"
