Li Ju fell asleep in peace, while Xia Zhaoyi was awakened by the sound of fighting outside the window.
She opened her eyes and looked toward the back alley. The sky outside the window was dark, almost dark.
The fighting downstairs was fierce, there were many people, and the sound of fierce fighting with cold weapons was loud and fast. Listening to the sound, you can tell that both sides are top-notch practitioners with extremely powerful wrists.
Xia Zhaoyi stood up and opened the window. Outside the gap, there were more than fifty people on both sides, not counting the corpses lying on the ground.
Neighboring residents closed their doors one after another, and some people who passed by from afar turned around and ran away.
None of the people on both sides looked familiar to Xia Zhaoyi.
No, that's not right.
Xia Zhaoyi's eyes fell on a slender figure in the far south.
I seem to have seen this person before at the Qianjin Rice Noodle Shop, the woman who suddenly got violent and killed her companions, and then ran away.
The two sides were fighting more and more fiercely, and suddenly a group of people appeared in the southernmost area. The man leading the group was tall, and he raised his knife and slashed at the woman.
Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door.
Xia Zhaoyi went over to open the door.
Zhan Ning didn't expect her to open the door so quickly. He was stunned for a moment and said: "Second Miss, there's a fight outside."
"Well," Xia Zhaoyi said, returning to the window, "the beating was so fierce."
Zhan Ning followed and found that her side had a better angle.
Because of the angle, I could see the woman who was forced back by the sword at a glance.
Zhan Ning said: "Is that a woman?"
"Yeah, and it's the one in the backyard of Qianjin Rice Noodle Shop."
Zhan Ning looked for a while, frowned and said: "That man is so big, can she carry it..."
As soon as Zhan Ning finished speaking, the man suddenly raised his sword and shouted violently, slamming it down on Wen Dai.
Wen Dai saw the gap and stepped back, stumbling to avoid it.
The man raised his knife and slashed continuously. From such a distance, Xia Zhaoyi and Zhan Ning seemed to be able to hear the roar of the wind caused by the blade of the big knife.
Zhan Ning said solemnly: "This knife weighs at least thirty kilograms."
Wen Dai had been injured for a long time and was dripping with blood. She was chased and slashed by the man, and she soon lost her strength.
At this moment, she suddenly shouted loudly, jumped towards the man, faced the man's machete, and stabbed the sword blade in her hand into the man's throat.
"Ah...!" Zhan Ning exclaimed.
She used her last strength to use the sword, which directly penetrated the man's throat. The long blade came out from the back of the man's head, and the sword grid was stuck in the man's throat.
And she faced the man's knife, almost cutting off her neck and left shoulder.
Blood spurted out wildly, and the two of them fell to the right side at the same time.
Zhan Ning whispered: "We will die together."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Yes."
Zhan Ning sighed: "Although this woman is our enemy rather than our friend, she is also courageous and amazing."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Yes."
"Second Miss," Zhan Ning looked at her, "I heard that your waist was injured again. How is it now?"
Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "I need to rest."
In the past few days, she had been careful to avoid large movements, but in the end, she went to Du Mansion and all her efforts were in vain.
No, it's getting worse.
If this continues, her originally minor back injury will most likely become a serious problem, and she will have to rest.
The fighting below became more and more fierce, and both sides were furious.
The battle started in the north, and they were pursued all the way to the south. The entire back alley was splashed red with blood, and the fishy smell filled the sky.
After a long time, the nearby street patrol guards arrived.
Facing the fierce battle, the patrol guards did not dare to step forward. They wore weak armor and raised their spears and asked loudly from a distance.
It wasn't until more and more patrol guards arrived that the people here started to flee.
There were sounds of pursuit, yelling, and reprimands from all directions.
Hundreds of patrol guards strode everywhere, and there was a sound of treading on the ground. Many dilapidated low buildings that had just been ravaged by the heavy rain and had not yet been repaired were shaken by the shock.
There was a long lane of bloody water, with no end in sight and no end in sight. Broken corpses were everywhere. Many puppies came smelling the smell, but were chased away by neighbors shouting and cursing from upstairs.
The sky was getting darker and darker, no one rushed to light the few garden lamps in the back alley, the wind blew, and the unpleasant smell was overwhelming.
Xia Zhaoyi closed the window sash, returned to the bed and sat down, saying: "I can't go out these two days. The letter needs to be sent here from Jinxing Restaurant."
Zhan Ning worriedly said: "Second Miss, is it serious?"
Xia Zhaoyi said truthfully: "It's not serious, but the pain is not light."
She is a good pain bearer and can say "the pain is not light", which shows how painful it is.
Zhan Ning didn't know what to do. He realized that the room was still dark and hurriedly lit the lamp: "Second Miss, then you should have a good rest. You don't have to worry about things outside."
"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi said.
After Zhan Ning left, Xia Zhaoyi lay down and continued to rest.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Zhan Ning sent several letters, one of which was from Yang Guanxian.
Xia Zhaoyi unfolded it, and Yang Guanxian said that he and Mu Tingyu had found the hiding place of Yan Qinglin's men. When they were discussing how to kill people with borrowed knives, they learned that Li Hao had privately sent thirty masters to the Rongguo Palace to check.
They followed their plan and led all these masters to the hiding place of Yan Qinglin's men.
The two sides fought fiercely, resulting in heavy casualties, both sides were injured, and the commotion was extremely loud.
There are three pieces of letter paper, and Yang Guanxian's excitement can be felt between the lines.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled faintly. Yang Guanxian only knew about Jinxing Restaurant but not about Shuangyan Palace. He was afraid that he would not have guessed that things were so coincidental. She was the first witness at the scene.
At the end of the letter, it was mentioned that Shu Yuezhen was still in a stalemate with them, but was about to relent, telling her not to worry.
The remaining letters, one from Zhugeshan, one from Imperial Physician Du, and the rest are basically from the chamber of commerce in Mingtai County.
Xia Zhaoyi read each letter and finally looked at Doctor Du's letter.
Just looking at it... I have no desire to take it apart.
But what if something unexpected happens?
After a while of silence, Xia Zhaoyi finally picked it up and opened it.
Sure enough, the content of the letter was no different from what she had guessed.
There was a paper full of apologies, but only one sentence about his relationship with Nie Huimo was mentioned.
But it was still a little "unexpected", there was a letter inside.
Xia Zhaoyi opened it, not reading the beginning of the letter, but reading the end of the letter first.
When she saw the word "Nie", she was not interested in reading the letter at all, so she put it away and stuffed it back into the envelope.
Zhan Ning was grinding aside, and when he saw the anger on her face, he whispered: "Second Miss, what's wrong? It's the content of the letter..."
"A nasty person wrote me a nasty letter." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Zhan Ning rarely saw her commenting on others like this. He looked at the envelope and saw the word "Du" on it.
Zhan Ning said: "This is a letter from Dr. Du."
Xia Zhaoyi took a deep breath, frowned and said, "I want to burn it directly, but I'm afraid there will be something important in the letter."
"Then, open it and take a look."
"I do not want to see."
"..."
It's rare to see her be so petty. Zhan Ning thought for a while and said, "Second Miss, how about I take a look?"
Xia Zhaoyi pushed the letter away: "There are two letters in it. If you want to know the cause and effect, read the one from Imperial Physician Du first."
