Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6272: Framing

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He was careless and made a mistake because he forgot that he was bearing a face that could make any ordinary woman fall for him.

Fortunately, it wasn’t his fault.

He could only awkwardly hold the beauty in his arms and return to his seat. As soon as he sat down, his expression darkened.

“If you can’t relax here, you can go upstairs,” the girl leaning against Jian Wushuang’s chest whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Jian Wushuang wiped his face, wondering what kind of mess he had gotten himself into.

Just then, a sudden thunderclap exploded in the sky.

Everyone looked up in unison to see a firework blooming.

But what they didn’t know was that at the same moment, Huang Jiulang, who was sitting in the main seat, also blossomed—except his flower was blood-red.

“Murder!”

A startled cry drew everyone’s attention to Huang Jiulang.

They saw Huang Jiulang clutching his neck, blood pouring out.

This scene terrified the young girls, and some guests turned pale with fright, wanting to flee the courtyard.

Chaos ensued.

Jian Wushuang and the others stood up as well.

The real show was about to begin.

And they already had a scapegoat.

Someone shouted to catch the assassin, prompting Huang Jiulang’s retainers to draw their swords and surround everyone.

At this moment, One Ear shouted, “I just saw it! That big black guy did it! Avenge Ninth Master quickly!”

“Kill him for me!” Among Huang Jiulang’s retainers, a slender middle-aged man drew his knife and charged.

Where there was one leader, there would be others.

One Ear’s accusation, combined with the retainers’ identification, immediately put Wu Xing and Black Bull in the middle of the siege.

“You’re full of crap!” Black Bull erupted.

Wu Xing, beside him, turned pale as well. He clearly hadn’t anticipated such a turn of events.

It was obvious even without thinking—they had been framed by Jian Wushuang and his group.

But he had no way to defend himself now. If they left immediately, they would be hunted by the Huang family. Even if they escaped, it would bring trouble to Qingshui Mountain.

If they stayed, they would fall right into Jian Wushuang’s trap.

While Wu Xing hesitated, the Huang family’s retainers had already surrounded the courtyard.

As for the real culprits, they had long left.

The Wolf Brothers were quick in their actions.

They didn’t give the Huang family’s retainers a chance. Now, only Jian Wushuang’s group and Wu Xing’s pair were left.

“Brother Fang, listen to me. Someone is framing us. Don’t forget that I’m here representing Qingshui Mountain today!” Wu Xing remained calm, knowing they couldn’t resort to violence, and quickly tried to stop the confrontation.

The Huang family’s top retainer, Fang Chengxin, drew his gleaming blade, his eyes filled with anger and sorrow.

“How can I believe you?”

He hadn’t clearly seen who made the move, but his own people claimed it was Black Bull. He couldn’t just ignore it.

Soon, several of Huang Jiulang’s sons arrived.

Seeing their father dead, they were at a loss whether to be sad or not. Each was caught off guard.

But they quickly understood one thing: whoever avenged their father could take over the Huang family.

Hearing it was Qingshui Mountain, they rushed at Wu Xing and Black Bull without considering the consequences.

Fang Chengxin, being an experienced retainer, knew something was off and hurried to stop the young masters.

But at this moment, the sons of Huang Jiulang couldn’t care less and ignored Fang Chengxin.

Previously suppressed by these retainers, they now didn’t want to heed them since their father was gone.

“Fang Chengxin, our family has treated you well. Now the murderer of our father stands there, and you not only refuse to avenge him but also stop us!”

“Could it be that you’re colluding with them?”

The younger generation of the Huang family had eyes full of suspicion.

Some even thought it might have been done by one of their own brothers.

To them, the truth was irrelevant. Killing the enemy and rising to power was the clear choice.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Jian Wushuang waved his hand, signaling the others to leave first to avoid drawing more suspicion and being falsely accused.

Only Tang Erhu stayed with him.

Wu Xing and Hei Niu stood back-to-back, now forced into action.

Among the crowd, he glanced at Jian Wushuang with a look of fury and apprehension.

If he threw dirt on Jian Wushuang now, he could drag him into the fray.

But he didn’t do that.

Because he knew if Jian Wushuang dared to act this way, he must have a backup plan.

The only chance for survival now was to cooperate with Jian Wushuang.

Wu Xing immediately shouted, “Brother Wushuang, everything’s done. It’s not good to just stand by and watch the joke, right?”

By saying this, he was both cooperating with Jian Wushuang and pulling him into the fray.

It all depended on what Jian Wushuang would do.

In fact, Jian Wushuang had anticipated this, so he let One Ear take the others and leave first.

He had come today to take over Shunshui Town, merely watching the show wasn’t enough.

“It seems I’ll have to make a move!”

Jian Wushuang raised his hand, drew his sword, and charged out, first killing Fang Chengxin.

This guy was deeply rooted in the Huang family and was on the list to be eliminated.

Seeing him take action, Wu Xing and Hei Niu also took the opportunity to strike back.

Anyway, they were already tainted, so they didn’t mind more blood.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang’s men, who had been set up outside, also rushed in.

They hacked at the Huang family’s guests indiscriminately.

After one incense stick’s worth of time.

The backyard had turned into hell.

Corpses and blood mixed together on the ground.

Jian Wushuang and Tang Erhu were covered in blood, as were Wu Xing and Hei Niu.

These two had considerable martial prowess, especially Hei Niu, whom Jian Wushuang had experienced firsthand.

“Second-in-command, the cavalry has also arrived, we can head to the Huang family anytime!” One Ear said as he walked in after everyone had fallen.

“Okay, let Wang take charge!” Jian Wushuang said calmly.

Now, although the Huang family still had hundreds of guests.

Huang Jiulang was dead, Fang Chengxin was dead too.

The younger generation competing for power in the Huang family were also dead.

Those guests had no master to serve, Wang Lun was just right to go.

As for the scapegoat, Qingshui Mountain would take the blame.

“Brother Wu, are you going back to Qingshui Mountain now, or coming with me to Sha Family Town to form the Coastal Guard?”

“I have no choice!” Wu Xing smiled bitterly.

Now that he was implicated in cooperating with Jian Wushuang to kill Huang Jiulang, returning to Qingshui Mountain would surely arouse suspicion.

Hei Niu beside him hadn’t reacted yet.

He was the most confused right now.

How did they suddenly join the small dock?

But things had come to this point, and since he had been following Wu Xing, it wasn’t appropriate to ask openly.

Jian Wushuang left the subsequent matters for Wang Lun to handle.

This was also a time to build prestige.

It was useless to him, but extremely beneficial to Wang Lun.

So he had to do it personally.

Jian Wushuang then took Wu Xing and Hei Niu back to Sha Family Dock.

They began preparing for the training at Qingshu Town in two days.
