After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 373 Calm down

Haitang has been practicing Qinggong and Internal Strength for two years, and has become quite good at it.

Using her Qinggong skills, she quickly climbed to the top of the wall, jumped lightly to the eaves of the second floor, borrowed some strength from the brackets, and jumped onto the window sill.

It happened that the weather had warmed up a bit recently. Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian were preparing to move to the second floor to make room for Xie Wenzai's new student. At this time, the west window on the second floor was opened for ventilation, so Haitang didn't waste much effort, just scratched the window sill. With the help of his strength, he easily jumped to the roof of the west house.

She walked lightly and silently on the west roof, moved to the ridge, and looked into the courtyard.

There was still nothing strange in the courtyard. There were still people working in the kitchen, but the door of the living room was wide open. From her angle, she could vaguely catch a glimpse of the middle-aged man in blue, "Cai Ye", with a corner of his robe, soap boots, and soap boots. Wu Qiong's embroidered skirt.

Next to Wu Qiong's skirt, there was another man's soap boots. Under normal circumstances, even if they are close relatives, no man would be so close to a girl from a wealthy family. I guess this man is threatening Wu Qiong's vitals with a weapon, right?

The voice of "Master Cai" could be faintly heard in the wind, occasionally inserting a few words of rebuttal, and the latter was Xie Wenzai's voice and tone.

Are they still confronting each other in the living room?

Haitang tried to look forward to see more clearly, but she caught a glimpse of silver light flashing in the direction of the front door. She immediately retracted her head, and looked carefully again, and found a strange man in black clothes standing behind the door, with a belt around his waist. Knife, the silver light just now was caused by the reflection of the blade that had just been pulled out. This must be an accomplice of "Master Cai", responsible for guarding the front door to prevent the servants from noticing any resistance and blocking their escape route from the house.

One, two, three... As far as Haitang could see, there was "Cai Ye" and two of his accomplices in the front yard, at least three of them, all with weapons. She couldn't help but worry about the safety of her cousin Xie Wenzai. There are also two grandfathers, Cao and Lu. I wonder if they are also in the hall. Although these three old men are still in good health, they may not be able to resist the enemy's blade for long.

She moved quietly on the roof and changed her position so that she could see the situation in the living room more clearly.

This time she saw a corner of her second uncle Hai Changan's robe. He also had a knife in his hand.

With his second uncle here, Xie Wenzai in the living room is protected, so he should be fine, right?

As soon as this thought flashed through Haitang's mind, she heard someone speaking loudly in the west room below her. She leaned down and listened carefully against the roof tiles. It seemed that Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian were quarreling.

Well, these two old men are not in the living room, and they probably didn't even notice that there was a bad visitor in the hall. Second uncle Hai Changan alone is enough to protect the safety of cousin Xie Wenzai. As for Wu Qiong...it depends on her luck.

Haitang started to move towards the second courtyard wall. As soon as she moved under the courtyard wall, she saw two unfamiliar-looking men jumping into the courtyard from the roof of a small retreat on the other side of the wall. At this time, one of the two guards sent by the Zhou family was moving his hands and feet in front of the house with his back to the visitor, while the other had just walked out of the main house and looked towards Haitang in surprise.

The latter immediately realized that his companion was in danger and quickly shouted a warning.

He gave the warning in time. Although his companions did not notice the enemy attack, they reacted quickly and escaped the enemy's fatal blow. As the former rushed over with his sword drawn, the two guards began to fight with the enemy.

The sound of fighting immediately alerted people in the front yard and main yard of Haijia. The servants in the front yard heard the sound and ran out to see what was going on. When they saw Haitang standing on the wall of the second courtyard, they couldn't help but scream in surprise.

Haitang saw that the enemy guarding the front door had discovered her, so she simply let go and shouted to the servants: "Hide in the kitchen and don't come out! There are enemies at the front door with knives. Remember to find a weapon to protect yourself!" Then she turned to face the front door. The stunned Aunt Cui on the courtyard door said, "Close the door, don't let the bad guys run in!"

Aunt Cui reacted quickly, nodded quickly, and worked together with Aunt Ma who arrived behind her to close the door of the main courtyard.

Ma Li, who was guarding the front yard, was forced back to the concierge's hut by the enemy with a knife and was unable to move. However, Ma Changnian, who was guarding the carriage and horse shed, and Cui Xiaodao in the kitchen were bold, one holding a fire stick and the other holding a fire stick. Hatchet, the former was guarding the second entrance to the courtyard, while the latter ran outside the living room door and even asked Haitang to come down from the wall. Of course Haitang will not jump off the wall. She had already seen Jin Jiashu walking out of the house on crutches, so she immediately stepped on the wall and ran to the side of the main house. Then she jumped down, took out the knife from her waist, and rushed to him: "What are you doing out here? Get in the house quickly!" "

Jin Jiashu grasped the crutches tightly: "If they dare to hurt others, I will not let them succeed even if I risk my life!"

Haitang's tone softened a little: "Just go into the house, we are outside! The Zhou family's soldiers have already arrived outside the door and will come in soon. The enemy is just three or two kittens, can they still escape?"

Jin Jiashu calmed down a little, but he still couldn't figure it out: "How did these people get here?!"

Of course it's because someone snitched!

But these things are a long story, and now is not a good time to talk. Haitang can only tell it in one sentence: "I will tell you in detail later." After saying that, he swung out his long whip and knocked away a Sun who had just been kicked away by the guard. The man's minions wrapped around his neck and pulled him to his feet. He then swung his knife to remove the knife from the opponent's hand and stepped on it with a strong foot. The man's eyes rolled back, he vomited blood, and he passed out.

Haitang took back the riding whip as usual. Seeing that two Zhou family guards were surrounding a gangster and had basically controlled him, she calmly turned around to talk to Jin Jiashu. Seeing him looking at her with dumbfounded eyes, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "What? I They all jumped down from the wall, with whips and knives in their hands. Do you think I’m here to juggle with you? Is it just because my brother and you can arrange for the Duke of Zhen to come to our home? Are they good friends?!”

Of course it's because the Hai family's force value is not bad!

Just kidding, their family just came back from the border town for more than ten years! Even her old grandmother can kill enemies with a hatchet, okay?

While talking, the situation at the front door also changed.

Ma Li was old and had nothing to do with the knife-wielding enemies, but there were Cui Dazhuang and his wife in the front yard. Cui Dazhuang was holding a long stick, and his wife was holding a kitchen knife in each hand. The former attacked from a distance and blocked the knife of the Sun family's minions guarding the front door. The latter slashed the opponent's knife hand with two more knives. Then there was Ma Li who picked up the urinal that he used during the night watch and hit the man on the back of the head with all his strength. The man immediately suffered a bloody head and a bloody mess. He fell to the ground with half his life.

Cui Dazhuang quickly opened the door, and the Zhou family soldiers who had been waiting outside the door for a long time rushed in. At the reminder of Ma Changnian and Cui Xiaodao, they surrounded the living room.

When the number of people belonging to Chang'an's side in the living room exceeded the enemy's by more than three times, "Cai Ye" had to be captured without mercy even if he was talking proudly and threateningly just a moment ago.

His accomplice was not determined to give up, and wanted to slash Wu Qiong's neck, risking his life to take someone away, but Hai Changan quickly grabbed him with his eyes and hands, knocked the knife away, and kicked him to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the hostage asked Hai Changan to pull away. He and "Caiye" completely lost their last bargaining chip.

After Wu Qiong escaped from danger, he still felt like he was in a dream. She was extremely frightened, her makeup was stained by tears, she had three or four wounds on her neck, and the blood stained her collar red, making her very embarrassed. She thought she was dead today, and her heart sank when she heard Xie Wenzai categorically rejecting "Master Cai". Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the situation had been reversed and she was rescued.

The "Cai Ye" group, who once thought they could not resist, easily became prisoners.

Are the people in Chang'an so powerful?

So what are all the compromises and concessions made by their mother and daughter?

Wu Qiong just breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and met the cold eyes of everyone, and his heart sank again.
