After coming out of the back hall of Chuifangzhuang, Xia Zhaoyi did not leave immediately. He stood on the steps and looked up at the sky.
The moonlight is hidden behind the clouds, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
The night wind blew, her clothes flew up, and her cheeks and hands felt cold pain.
Xia Zhaoyi raised her hand and took a sip under her lips, rubbing them gently.
The messy thoughts subsided and she stepped down the steps.
Suddenly, several screams rang out in the distance, and she looked up.
Several beggars fled in a hurry. One beggar covered his neck where he had been slashed by a knife. Blood spurted out crazily. His face was pale, and his legs became weak as he ran. He stretched out his hand to pull his companions, but was slashed again by the man who caught up behind him.
One knife.
The screams stung the scalps of his companions, but no one dared to stop and ran in panic.
Three more men appeared in front, smiling happily as they watched them running towards me.
The beggars stopped, and some of them knelt down with a thud.
"Heroes, spare your lives, heroes, spare your lives, let us go!"
"We are just beggars, we have no money!"
…
The beggars kept kowtowing and their legs were too weak to run.
People from both sides rushed forward, cutting the cold blade into the hot body, and blood mist rose amidst the screams.
"Over there." A man said.
The companions looked ahead.
An old beggar and a young beggar huddled in the corner, daring not to move.
A man wiped the blood splattered on his face, made a gesture with the big knife in his hand, and walked towards them.
The little beggar huddled behind the old beggar, shivering.
"Why, why do you want to kill us?" the old beggar asked with a trembling voice.
"Bah!" The man spat out blood and wiped the bloody sword on his sleeve. Then he ran away and raised the sword to chop at them.
The old beggar quickly hugged the little beggar sideways and was too frightened to move.
A small crossbow arrow suddenly shot from a distance, piercing the man's wrist while he was running.
The man only felt a sharp pain. Before he realized what happened, his hand had lost its strength and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.
The companions behind were stunned.
At this time, another thin horizontal shadow passed by in the sky, and a crossbow arrow pierced the man's back knee. The man was instantly unstable and fell to the ground screaming.
The men looked up and looked back.
A girl squatted on the high wall, breathing heavily, pointing the crossbow in her hand at the man, and turned her eyes to meet their gaze.
I thought it was someone from the government, or at least an adult man, but I didn't expect it to be a girl.
They have long heard of the evil rumors about a girl in the capital recently. Is this the one in front of them?
"Kill her!" a man said suddenly, running over with a big knife.
Xia Zhaoyi was panting heavily. She accelerated and sprinted over, almost using all her strength.
As the men chased after her, she shot a few crossbow arrows in one direction, quickly turned around and jumped to the other side, taking off the heavily loaded wrist crossbow while running.
The men were equally agile and easily jumped up and chased her.
The girl excelled in her lightness and jumping ability. She quickly ran to the other house and towards the beggar.
The injured man collapsed on the ground, grinding his teeth and whining in pain.
A companion ran to help him, and after checking his injuries, he raised his knife and ran towards the two beggars.
Suddenly there was a crack of whip in the air. It was a whip thrown by a girl running on the eaves.
The man's vision went dark, and then sharp pain shot up on his face.
"My eyes!" the man screamed, covering his face, unable to stand, and fell to the ground.
Xia Zhaoyi quickly retracted his whip and jumped towards the low wall on the other side.
The low wall had small footholds, making it difficult for the men to pass. In order to save energy, Xia Zhaoyi gradually slowed down.
In terms of physical fitness, a ten-year-old girl is no match for an adult man, and the abilities of these adult men are all extraordinary.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the two beggars. She could return her whole body if she wanted to, but these two beggars...
"The officers and soldiers are coming soon, kill them first!" One person pointed at the two beggars.
One of the men immediately ran towards the beggar.
Xia Zhaoyi's figure suddenly flashed, and he fell down from the low wall. After landing, the whip in his hand quickly wrapped around the leg of a man behind him.
Without her using any force, the man who was running was tripped and fell from the wall, taking several of his companions with him.
"Hidden weapon!" Xia Zhaoyi shouted.
He raised his hand and waved away.
A group of men immediately avoided them and fell to the ground before they could get up.
When I came back to my senses, I found that there was nothing.
"You've been fooled! Where is the man!" a man shouted.
"She can't run far, chase her!" another person shouted.
The man who stopped because of their movements ran towards the beggar again.
There was a "snap" sound, and the whip cracked again, but it still hit the man's leg, and the man fell to the ground with a snap.
The other four men looked at the girl who suddenly appeared. They were angry and anxious, their eyes were red, and they rushed towards her with knives.
"Watch out for her whip! Make me smarter!" the leading man shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a pain in his throat. He opened his mouth and couldn't speak. The sound was blocked in his throat, and he began to suffocate even his breathing.
A long sword came from behind and pierced his neck, and the faint sound of the sword just being unsheathed could still be heard in his ears.
The long sword was immediately pulled away, and a large amount of blood spat out from his mouth. For a moment, it seemed like an eternity to him.
When he fell to the ground, he saw a man in night clothes attacking his companion at a very fast speed.
The companions reacted and faced him with swords.
The skills of these people are not weak, and they are all professional assassins. It is true that this girl is too tricky and they were unprepared, which is why they were injured like this.
Now we face the enemy head-on, swords and swords clashing, the brave one wins when we meet in a narrow road, and everyone uses all their brute force.
But after only two rounds, they secretly thought something was wrong.
Three against one, using more to control the smaller, but they didn't have the slightest advantage. The attacker's movements were nimble, his steps were like swimming, his sword was sharp, and he attacked fiercely. There was nothing fancy about it, and all his moves were deadly. Even though they were one against three, they were still powerful.
Force them back.
Without the initial preemptive strike, the three of them were completely passive by each other.
The night wind suddenly picked up, raising the fishy smell from the ground. The most piercing sound was heard. The big knife in one person's hand was knocked to the ground. Then, with a cold light, the long sword pierced his chest, and when he pulled it out,
Flowers spurting out with blood.
When the battle situation became clear, the remaining two people no longer felt that they were opponents. One turned around and ran away, while the other protected them with his life, fighting to the death.
But the person who escaped could not get far when a long whip caught up with him, and the girl suddenly stood in front of him, her face as pretty as frost, and she held a sharp dagger in her other hand.
He touched the clothes on the back that were torn by the whip with his backhand, and raised the knife angrily: "I'll kill you!"
The big sword struck, but failed.
Another hit, another miss.
He chopped again and continued to miss.
The girl stopped a few feet in front of him and suddenly shouted: "Don't kill him!"
The man was stunned for a moment, but before he could turn around, he felt pain on his back and was kicked with such force that he fell to the ground.
