The dagger was about to pierce the "young man's" neck, but the "young man" held him to death and grabbed his wrist with both hands.
The "old man" exerted his strength and gritted his teeth to stab.
But looking at the pretty face with thin skin and tender flesh, his strength was far greater than he thought.
During the stalemate, the "young man" lifted up one of his legs with force and put the sole of his shoe against the "old man's" chest, trying to kick him away.
Hearing that his companions were arriving, the "old man" was furious: "Go to hell!"
But I saw the "young man's" frightened expression instantly turned into a bright smile: "Old man, that's all you have, right?"
The "old man" shouted loudly and pressed the dagger down hard.
His companions quickly approached and drew their weapons to help.
"I'm just afraid that your people won't come out." Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, and kicked the "old man" away with all his strength.
Shi Guoxin heard the news and came over, along with the Xucheng farmers in the courtyard.
The farmers were shocked when they saw these bright weapons.
It was inconvenient for Shi Guoxin to bring weapons with him when he came out today, but Xia Zhaoyi quickly cut one's throat, took off his weapons and threw them at him.
Knowing that Shi Guoxin was accustomed to using a broadsword, she chose the one with the sword to strike first.
Housekeeper Zeng rushed out in a hurry, not daring to call out the word "owner" for fear of revealing his identity.
Xia Zhaoyi grabbed another long sword and said while attacking: "Tian Zeng, bring everyone in!"
"Yes!" Butler Zeng responded.
Seeing the three people heading towards the back yard of the shop at the same time, Xia Zhaoyi shot the long sword in her hand, piercing one person's back and out of the chest. At the same time, she shot the long whip in her hand through the air, chased and entangled one person's feet, and threw it in the direction of Shi Guoxin.
.
Shi Guoxin's broadsword struck at the same time. Half of the man's face was chopped open, and he fell to the ground crying. In an instant, Shi Guoxin gave him a fatal blow, and he died miserably.
The other person also did not have a good end. Qian Sibi's silver blade spit out, wrapped around his neck, tore his skin and flesh into pieces, and he died with a spurt of blood.
Not long after, the killer's body lay on the ground. Several neighbors heard the noise and came out, their faces pale with fright.
Shi Guoxin put away the knife in his hand and raised his voice: "The grudges and grudges in the world have nothing to do with you. Don't read or hear or say too much! Your home is here. If something happens, don't blame us for coming to your door!"
Mingzhe understood the principle of protecting oneself, so the neighbors hurriedly hid. When the farmers in the house saw Xia Zhaoyi and Shi Guoxin returning, they shivered and huddled together.
Xia Zhaoyi called Butler Zeng aside and whispered instructions. Butler Zeng wiped his cold sweat and said, "Yugui Street? Okay, I'll send someone there right away."
"Thank you for your hard work," Xia Zhaoyi said.
The maids quickly brought warm water, and Xia Zhaoyi and Shi Guoxin each washed their hands and faces.
Compared to Xia Zhaoyi's flexible figure, Shi Guoxin, who was accustomed to killing enemies directly on the battlefield, was completely careless. Half of his body was covered in blood, so Xia Zhaoyi asked a man to find clothes that fit Shi Guoxin's figure.
Shi Guoxin is not very tall and thin, and his clothes are easy to find.
After he finished changing his clothes and came out, Butler Zeng, who had finished giving orders to his men, also came back.
Zeng Guanjia said: "The farmers outside are scared to death. I have ordered the guys to send calming tea. Master, where did these killers come from?"
Xia Zhaoyi slowly wiped the shoe prints on her shoulders and said: "Very few people know that I am in Hejing, and even less likely to know that I am here. These killers are here for you."…
"Me?" Butler Zeng was shocked.
"You may have been exposed at Shu Yuezhen's place."
"Speaking of which, it's really possible..."
"Shu Yuezhen makes money for Yan Qinglin. Yan Qinglin has always kept a team of killers in Hejing. Shu Yuezhen can mobilize them. And the methods of some of them are familiar to me."
She had dealt with Yan Qinglin's killer too many times.
Butler Zeng frowned: "It's my fault that I've been impatient recently and sent people to check her frequently. Now that she's in trouble, she must be very cautious and vigilant. It's very likely that she will find her. Master, thank you for being here today, otherwise it would be more than just my shop.
, I’m afraid these farmers will also be hurt by me.”
Xia Zhaoyi said solemnly: "I'm serious, you want to check her out because of me, and I should be the one who got you involved. Now, what are Butler Zeng's plans? Should you continue to stay here, or move out of here?"
Butler Zeng sighed: "It's hard to move away. These are the first batch of farmers. I'm afraid more people will look for me in the future."
"Well, then we won't move. I will send more manpower to protect the safety of this place."
Saying that, Xia Zhaoyi stood up: "Is there a clean guest room upstairs? I want to take a rest."
Shi Guoxinyan frowned and looked at her worriedly. She rarely said such things, but he wanted to see if there was any obvious trauma on her body.
"Second Miss," Shi Guoxin said, "your shoulders..."
"Don't worry, your shoulder is fine."
She was afraid that if she killed the man directly, his companions might not come out and the next danger would be unknown, so she let the "old man" kick her, but she was on guard, so it didn't hurt.
What she was hurting now was her waist, which was broken to the bone.
This depressing waist injury came out of nowhere. After asking around, no one knew how she injured it.
Following Butler Zeng to the guest room, after Butler Zeng closed the door and left, Xia Zhaoyi undressed in front of the mirror.
Three inches above the tailbone, the entire area was red and swollen.
Xia Zhaoyi's eyebrows became serious, and he stretched out his hands to massage, then went to lie on his side on the bed, motionless.
Time passed slowly, and when she was about to fall asleep, there was a soft knock on the door.
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Who is it?"
Shi Guoxin's voice rang out: "Second Miss, Zhan Ning and the others are here. The corpses in the backyard have been disposed of, and the blood on the ground has been washed away. According to your instructions, a lot of flour was poured on it, and it was washed very clean."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Yes, I understand."
Shi Guoxin paused and said, "Second Miss, General Shen is also here."
Xia Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows lightly and pushed herself up from the bed: "He won't be by your side now, will he?"
Shi Guoxin looked sideways at Shen Lie beside him.
Shen Lie was at least a head taller than him. Viewed from this angle, Shen Lie's profile became darker and more handsome, his jawline was clean and sharp, and his complexion was snow-white. His eyes were sharp and eyebrows went into his temples, the bridge of his nose was extremely high, and his nose bones were as sharp as a knife.
His profundity is not like the overly three-dimensional outline of the foreigners. He is as handsome as jade, with a sense of elegance and freshness that is unique to people from the Central Plains.
Now, his eyes were fixed on the door.
Shi Guoxin answered bravely: "Yes, Second Miss, General Shen is by my side."
I don’t know why the girl asked this question. It sounds so awkward to General Shen’s ears...
Xia Zhaoyi actually asked casually subconsciously. She looked at the door, was silent for a while, and then said: "You, please let him in."
Shi Guoxin breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shen Lie, "General Shen, please."
