Chapter 18 I am single and my family lacks a woman
Soon after, the four people gathered in a small room in the Yamen to discuss the matter.

Shen Lian frowned and said: "I always feel that this is a conspiracy. Yan Peiwei is not that easy to deal with. There are many masters in his house."

Lu Jianxing subconsciously glanced at Ding Xiu and asked, "Brother, do you have any countermeasures?"

Ding Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Brother Shen is right. Something is definitely wrong with this matter. It is probably Zhao Jingzhong's conspiracy."

At this time, Jin Yichuan couldn't help but ask: "If that's the case, will he secretly notify Yan to set a trap for us?"

"This should not happen. He informed Yan Peiwei that if Yan Peiwei ran away because of fear, wouldn't his conspiracy be ruined?"

"Makes sense..."

The four of them deliberated for a long time, then left the Yamen separately and went home to replenish their reserves in order to cope with the upcoming war.

Ding Xiu returned to the small courtyard and was about to enter the house when he suddenly stopped.

At this moment, a man wearing a black mask came from behind with a knife, his movements were fast, accurate and cruel.

If someone had a slower response, this knife would probably kill him to the core.

Ding Xiu leaned forward, exerted force on his left leg at the same time, and instantly jumped sideways, narrowly avoiding the knife.

Then he quickly drew his sword and threw it back with his backhand.

"clang!"

The blades collided and sparks flew everywhere.

"Shhhhh..."

The opponent's sword is extremely fast, as fast as lightning, slashing, picking, stabbing, slashing... one sword after another, each move is deadly.

Ding Xiu retreated and used his tactics as he saw them.

After a while, he accidentally exposed a flaw... Sure enough, the other party was fooled and stabbed him with a knife.

The blade passed through Ding Xiu's armpit. Before his opponent could withdraw his attack, Ding Xiu leaned forward and held the opponent in his arms.

"Master, do you really want your disciple's life?"

The other party is none other than Ding Baiying.

Although Ding Baiying deliberately wore men's clothes and covered herself with a black veil, Ding Xiu saw through it as soon as they had a fight.

What's more, Ding Xiu is extremely familiar with his master's body.

Dress up as a man and wear a veil so I won’t recognize you?I'm just too lazy to expose it.

"You bastard, how dare you..."

Ding Baiying quickly broke away from Ding Xiu's arms, her heart beating fast, and she looked ashamed and annoyed, as if she wished she could kill this traitor with a knife.

Ding Xiu looked innocent: "Master, look at the disciple you just attacked secretly, and the disciple wasn't even angry."

"you……"

Ding Baiying gritted her teeth, but suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

She had to admit that among all the disciples, Ding Xiu's talent was the most outstanding, and even her master could no longer beat him.

After the test just now, this boy's strength seems to have broken through another bottleneck and reached a higher level.However, this kid is becoming more and more courageous.

"Master, please sit in the room quickly and don't let anyone find you here."

Ding Baiying said nothing and walked into the house with a gloomy face.

As soon as he entered the house, Ding Xiu looked at the tidy house with a surprised look on his face: "Ah, Master, have you cleaned the house for me? Is it so clean and tidy?"

Ding Baiying said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say it? Do you call this a house? That is a doghouse."

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "Yes, the disciple is single, isn't he just a doghouse?"

Although Ding Baiying has never heard of the word "single dog", she can guess what it means.

"Don't be so playful. The reason I'm cleaning this place is because I'm going to stay here for a few days."

"what?"

"Ah what? You're not happy yet?"

"No, no, no, it's too late for my disciple to be happy. As you can see, this family lacks a woman..."

"Bang!" Ding Baiying couldn't bear it anymore, slammed the table, and said angrily: "Ding Xiu, I solemnly warn you, don't forget that I am your master, if you dare..." Before she could finish her sentence, , Ding Xiu said with an innocent expression: "Master, the disciple didn't say anything wrong, right? You are the master, and you are also a woman. This is not a contradiction, right?"

"When did you learn to be so glib?"

Ding Xiu thought for a while and replied: "It seems to have always been like this."

Ding Baiying couldn't help but pick up the kettle. She didn't even bother to pour it into the cup. She directly pointed it at the spout and drank half of the pot.

Fire down!

"Ahem..." Ding Xiu coughed lightly and said with a straight face: "Master, what are you going to do in Beijing this time?"

Ding Baiying said coldly: "Contact a few people."

"Master, I don't think you need to contact them now. The situation in the capital is very chaotic right now. It's best to wait until some time later."

"Tell me first, what did you gain from killing Wei Zhongxian this time?"

When he mentioned this, Ding Xiu couldn't help but perked up: "The harvest is huge..."

So, I started from the beginning.

After listening, Ding Baiying was in a daze for a long time, and then said: "So, you have a firm foothold in Jinyiwei now?"

"It's a little early to say that we have stood firm, but at least we have won over a few people. Next, I estimate that the Donglin Party will also win over us."

Upon hearing this, Ding Baiying immediately said: "No, you must not take sides. Don't look at the Donglin Party gaining power now, they may be suppressed again one day."

"Master, don't worry, this disciple is aware of this."

"Also, you must be careful about Zhao Jingzhong, this person is quite insidious."

Ding Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He has already done it secretly..."

After listening to Ding Xiu's explanation, Ding Baiying couldn't help but frown and said, "Then are you really planning to go to Yan Mansion to arrest people tonight?"

"Yes, this is a great opportunity for promotion. Disciple must go."

Ding Baiying pondered for a while: "Then I'll go with you. With more helpers, it will be safer after all."

This time, Ding Xiu didn't make any teasing remarks like "Master still cares about his disciples". After all, the matter was so important that teasing had its own time.

"Master, you can't go. Once your identity is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous. Don't worry, my disciple will be fine."

Ding Baiying sighed: "Okay, then you must not be greedy for success."

"know."

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

For ordinary people, this is just the most ordinary night, sleeping when they should and exercising when they should.

But for Ding Xiu and others, this night was a turning point in their lives.

The night is getting darker.

The door of Yan Peiwei's mansion was closed, and a pair of large lanterns were lit at the door. Two strong men were on duty outside, one on the left and the other on the right. They seemed not to realize that the crisis was coming.

Ding Xiu and his party of four have already begun to take action.

However, they would not be stupid enough to break through the front entrance, but sneak in quietly from the backyard.

It seems that the recent developments in the capital have also made Yan Peiwei a little uneasy. Seven or eight nursing staff have been arranged to patrol the courtyard.

The four of them observed separately, then gathered together to discuss for a while, and then split up again.

Regarding this operation, what Ding Xiu was most worried about was not actually Yan's thugs.

After all, Yan's thugs are out in the open, so what if there are dozens of them?It doesn't mean you have an advantage with more people, it also depends on your strength.

What Ding Xiu is most worried about is that Zhao Jingzhong is hiding in the dark and shooting cold arrows, fishing in troubled waters.

Therefore, although he also sneaked into Yan's Mansion, he hid on the highest roof and observed secretly, letting Shen Lian and the others take action first.

Firstly, it can prevent the Yan family father and son from taking advantage of the chaos to escape, and secondly, it can also prevent someone from taking advantage of the troubled waters and plotting against them.
