The three soldiers ran into the yard and happened to see Zhao Xiyan, his master and his servant, being carried into the house. Six women of different ages rushed over with murderous looks on their faces. Each of them was very skilled.
"Send the signal quickly." The two soldiers fought hard to resist, shouting at the same time.
The leader, Xu Qiliu, quickly took out a black ball from his sleeve and threw it into the air. The ball made a strange sound and suddenly exploded in the air, emitting a blazing white light.
As long as they see this signal, the soldiers from nearby Fangshi Street will rush over immediately.
Xu Qiliu threw out three of them one after another, and after making sure that they could be seen within a thirty-mile radius, he pulled out the long knife with a sullen face.
Those women were very vicious in their attacks. Xu Qiliu and the others did not dare to be careless. One of them resisted two, but for a while they were unable to rush in.
There was a scream, and a woman was stabbed in the abdomen, bleeding profusely.
That woman was also ruthless. Regardless of being hit by a knife, she suddenly rushed over to kill Xu Qiliu together. Xu Qiliu frowned calmly, swung his long knife, and cut the woman to the sword neatly. He also killed another woman who rushed towards him.
He kicked him six feet away and rushed into the house quickly.
The situation immediately changed. It was replaced by two private soldiers pestering each other.
The house was so big, so Xu Qiliu rushed into the east wing first. He immediately saw the portrait next to the dressing mirror. The face of the high-spirited young man whipping his horse looked so familiar.
Xu Qiliu's eyes turned red instantly, and he almost burst into tears on the spot.
Zhao Xiyan was indeed under house arrest here.
He wiped his eyes hard and rushed to the west wing.
As soon as the door opened, a sharp sword stabbed at him silently. Xu Qiliu narrowly avoided it, but another long sword came at him.
There were actually two people ambushed here.
Xu Qiliu's skill ranks among the top ten among the soldiers, and these two women are no match for him. However, it is more than enough for them to keep him fighting here.
No, there must be a secret passage in this house. They want to hide Miss Zhao and her servants in the secret passage and take them away.
Xu Qiliu's heart sank, and the long knife in his hand became sharper.
After a brief fierce confrontation, one of the women fell down, and Xu Qiliu was also hit by a sword. The blood flowing out of his waist and abdomen quickly soaked into his clothes, staining large blood splashes.
Without saying a word, Xu Qiliu continued to swing his sword, and was hit again on his left shoulder, killing another woman with one blow.
From the time I rushed into the house to now, it only took two sticks of incense.
Regardless of the severity of his injuries, Xu Qiliu didn't even have the time to bandage and apply medicine, so he searched all the empty rooms in the house.
Zhao Xiyan and the hosta seemed to disappear out of thin air.
A familiar voice sounded in the yard.
Reinforcements are coming.
A group of three people, including Xu Qiliu, a total of six, quickly subdued all the remaining women. Three of the opponents died and five were injured.
Before I could ask any questions, another group of people came.
The person who came was actually Xu San.
Seeing the gold hairpin on the ground and Xu Jing's portrait in the room, Xu San's eyes turned red.
Finally found Miss Zhao.
Xu Qiliu's body was covered in blood. Xu San glanced at him and said, "Go and bandage and apply the medicine." He then ordered one of the soldiers to ask questions, and he led the rest of the people to carefully search for the entrance to the secret passage.
The rooms were searched from room to room, and the walls were knocked at one place after another. The utility rooms and clean rooms must not be missed. Even the latrines had to be carefully searched.
Half an hour later, all the soldiers within thirty miles arrived.
Nearly thirty people gathered in the small house.
"Xu San, the people from the Military and Horse Division have been alarmed and have arrived outside the house." A soldier whispered.
Xu San said coldly: "Send them away. Just say that precious objects were lost in the palace. We traced the thieves' whereabouts and tracked them here."
“What should we do with the families in Calabash Alley?”
"Go and search. Maybe the exit of the secret passage is in these houses."
"Today, we have to search this alley from top to bottom to rescue Miss Zhao."
…
The two secret guards, each carrying the unconscious Zhao Xiyan's master and servant, were walking through the secret passage a few feet below.
The young master bought this house a year ago. It is not easy to dig a secret passage under a private house. Therefore, the secret passage is very narrow.
The entrance to the secret passage is on the wall of the well in the backyard, and the secret passage is several hundred meters away. The exit is a house, two streets away from here, which is used to confuse people.
The most ingenious thing is that there is a secret passage hidden in the secret passage, and the secret room is halfway down the secret passage.
The two secret guards bowed down and entered the real secret passage. They wiped the wall a few times and the door closed quietly.
The next section of the secret passage became increasingly narrow. They lowered their heads and hunched over their bodies and walked for several steps before reaching the secret room.
There are several vents in this secret room, so people are not stuffy in it. There is no need for oil lamps and candles. Several night-time pearls worth thousands of gold are randomly embedded on the wall, and they are brilliant.
The secret room is about five meters long and four meters wide. There is a large bed, a table and two chairs, some snacks and dry food for wrapping, and a bucket of water. You can hide here for three to five days.
When they arrived here, the two secret guards breathed a sigh of relief. They each placed the person on their backs on the bed.
"What should we do now?" A secret guard with several moles on his face looked sad.
The other secret guard is quite tall, and his expression is much calmer: "What are you afraid of? We have to send out messages every day. If no news is sent out, it means something has happened. At most, the Young Master will send someone here in one day."
The black mole secret guard sighed again, looked at the unconscious Zhao Xiyan on the bed, and said in a low voice: "This Miss Zhao Liu is really a beauty. The young master is so wise and powerful, I really lost my head because of her this time."
"It doesn't matter whether we live or die. When the master comes back, he will be angry if he makes such bold decisions and uses secret guards."
The tall secret guard had an expressionless face: "We obey orders and do whatever the master tells us. Stop talking such nonsense."
Zhao Xiyan's master and servant were not awake on the bed, and the black mole secret guard sat down on the chair: "We can't do anything now, just stay here! If Master comes first, we still have a chance to survive. If
If we are found by the soldiers of Prince Beihai, the two of us will die."
The tall secret guard still looked cold: "Yeah."
Damn chatter.
The black mole secret guard rolled his eyes and remained silent.
Time slipped by little by little.
Zhao Xiyan moved her fingers. Immediately afterwards, Yuhan woke up, put her hand on the back of her head, and shouted before opening her eyes: "Save the girl quickly!"
Zhao Xiyan opened her eyes, endured the pain in the back of her neck, reached out and held Hosta's hand: "Host."
Hosta opened her eyes hurriedly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Miss, they are here and they are going to rescue us."
