A group of newcomers encountered something bad, and the atmosphere was very dull.
The most important thing is the life and death of their companions. Everyone knows that assassinating court officials is a capital crime. If they don't take action now, it is very likely that their companions will be executed.
These people from different sects and different backgrounds come together mainly because of their passion and congeniality.
Soon after everyone got together, the so-called loyalty encountered the most severe test.
Whether or not to save people has become the most difficult decision.
If you are indifferent, it means that the so-called friendship between people is not that deep, and the justice you talk about is not so firm.
If you try to save him, you will most likely die.
Tonight's experience has proved that this group of people is still insignificant.
It is not easy to rob the rich and give to the poor, to hoe the strong and help the weak.
While everyone was hesitating, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Everyone was startled and immediately became alert.
This is the old residence of the Xu family, and almost no one comes here.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. Could it be that the officers and soldiers were coming?
"What's going on? Why is there someone now? It's impossible for the officers and soldiers to investigate so quickly, right?"
"Who knows? Maybe that Tsui Hark has already betrayed us, and now he is bringing his officers and soldiers to cause trouble for us!"
"Impossible! Brother Xu is very loyal, there is no way he would betray us."
"Hmph! That's hard to say... In this world, no one can be trusted. Besides, in a life-and-death situation, who can be trusted?"
No one refuted this. Everyone was very nervous. They only heard the knocking on the door outside the yard getting more and more urgent.
Everyone took out their weapons, looked at each other, and said to themselves that no matter what the situation is outside, they must make sure first.
Yuan Xi came back to her senses and said to Ruan Xi: "Little sister, go to the courtyard wall and take a look at the situation outside."
Ruan Xi nodded. Her kung fu was the best among everyone, so it was most reassuring for her to secretly check out the situation outside.
Everyone stopped behind the courtyard wall, holding weapons and ready to take action at any time.
Ruan Xi climbed over the wall and leaned against the trunk of a big tree to secretly watch the people at the entrance of the courtyard.
When Ruan Xi saw the streets outside the courtyard were empty, she felt much more at ease. At least she was sure that no officers and soldiers from the brigade were coming.
Looking at the door of the hospital again, I saw a man covered in scars standing there in embarrassment and knocking on the door anxiously.
Ruan Xi recognized him as Tsui Hark immediately and was overjoyed. She was about to turn around and tell the people in the yard that Tsui Hark was back when she suddenly noticed another person beside Tsui Hark.
Because the person next to Tsui Hark was standing under the eaves at the entrance of the house, Ruan Xi's line of sight was blocked and she couldn't see clearly. She could only see the silhouette of the other person.
Ruan Xi suddenly felt that this profile looked familiar, and wanted to take a closer look.
As soon as Ruan Xi made another move, the man below suddenly took two steps in her direction. Before Ruan Xi could react, a stone hit her foot.
Ruan Xi felt pain, frowned, her feet were empty, and she fell off the courtyard wall.
The people inside watched Ruan Xi disappear all of a sudden. They were stunned at first, and then realized that the situation was not good. They quickly opened the door, and then everyone rushed out.
As soon as the door opened, everyone saw Tsui Hark standing there extremely impatiently, and then complained and asked: "What are you doing? No one came after knocking for a long time, but you let this girl come out and peek?"
"Tsu Hark?! You...you actually escaped?"
Tsui Hark sighed: "Thanks to this brother, otherwise I would really be dead this time."
Xu Ke pointed at Xia Shang, attracting everyone's attention, but Xia Shang didn't pay attention to the people inside at all, but looked at Ruan Xi who was kneeling on the ground with some fear.
Xia Shang was also very strange in his heart. He did not expect that there were actually people from the Ming Cult here. What was even more surprising was that among these people there was Ruan Xi.
Shouldn't this girl be the most obedient among the Ming Cult? Moreover, Xue Lengxiang personally teaches Kung Fu. I often hear Xue Lengxiang whisper in her ears that this girl is well-behaved, sensible, and very worry-free. Why is she here?
Ruan Xi was stunned the moment she saw Xia Shang. She didn't expect to really meet the leader here. What should she do?
The courtyard wall is not high, so Ruan Xi will obviously not be injured if she falls, but now her legs are so frightened that she wants to stand but cannot.
Among the crowd, Yuan Xi also saw Xia Shang and froze there at the same time, feeling the urge to run away.
But another person spoke first: "Why is it you?"
The speaker is Yuan Ying, Yuan Xi’s clan sister, and perhaps Yuan Xi’s only relative in the world.
.
Yuan Ying's shock was indescribable. She didn't expect that this person would actually chase him here. What was he thinking?
He is an official of the imperial court and must have bad intentions when he comes here.
But Yuan Ying did not tell his identity immediately, because once this person's identity was exposed, her companions would definitely kill him.
After listening to Yuan Ying's words, Xu Hark said: "Yuan Ying, are you really childhood sweethearts? I didn't believe it at first."
"What childhood sweetheart?" Yuan Ying was stunned.
"Stop pretending, this Brother Xia told me a long time ago that you are childhood sweethearts. He has been your sweetheart since childhood, hasn't he?"
"What's going on? What's going on?" Yuan Ying stared at Xia Shang, but her tone was very weak because the poison in her body had not been cured.
Listening to the conversation, the other people were a little confused and didn't know what the situation was.
But a middle-aged man saw some clues and walked to the front with an unkind expression, staring at Xia Shang: "Who are you?"
After saying that, the middle-aged man drew his sword and pointed it at Xia Shang.
Xu Hark was shocked when he saw it: "Uncle Dong, he is the benefactor who saved me."
"I think this person has an ulterior motive. It's a lie to save you, but it's true to use you to find our hiding place, right?"
Xia Shang looked back at the middle-aged man and smiled faintly: "So what?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Shang actually admitted it!
The middle-aged man sneered, and without giving Xia Shang a chance to say more, he said angrily: "If so, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man drew his sword and stabbed Xia Shang.
Xia Shang didn't move, but he heard a crisp impact, and the sword in the middle-aged man's hand was bounced away.
The person who took action was not Xia Shang, but Ruan Xi.
Ruan Xi was already standing in front of Xia Shang, holding a sword and with a serious expression like an angry kitten.
No one expected that such a situation would occur. Uncle Dong was also stunned. He was stunned for two seconds and shouted: "Ruan Xi, what are you doing?"
"He is my master!"
"Master?!"
His words almost made everyone around him bite their tongues.
Master?
What's happening here?
At this time, Yuan Xi also knew that he could not hide. When he arrived in front of Xia Shang, he knelt down and said, "See Master."
