Chen Changnian didn't wait for Cui Qiao to say anything else about the situation. She just covered herself with a scarf, and then quickly waved her hand, and the maids next to her saw the opening and swarmed up.
Cui Qiao saw that they were all here, and people had already started to take action. Naturally, she couldn't continue to hide and watch from behind.
She could only slap her thigh, then gritted her teeth and rushed forward with them.
And when they rushed in so rashly, they naturally alerted the assassins patrolling outside the thatched house.
As soon as the assassin noticed any movement, he immediately blew a whistle. This whistle only made the patrol team with only a few people suddenly nearly double in number, and they all stood ready.
The leader shouted loudly, "Who are you?"
Chen Yannian was a little indifferent to these people at first, but looking at the dozen people who suddenly appeared from everywhere, she still asked Cui Qiao with her eyes: Why didn't you tell me there were so many people here?
Cuiqiao probably wanted to roll her eyes: I haven't said anything to you yet, but you lead the charge yourself. Do you still blame me?
Well, now is not the time to argue. The two made eye contact for a moment and then retracted.
Chen Changnian immediately said loudly, "I planted this tree! I drove this road! If you want to live from now on, leave the money to buy the road!"
Is this a bandit? The people on the other side obviously had doubts in their hearts.
After all, this is the capital, and no bandit even in the countryside dares to cause trouble near here.
But before they could ask their doubts, a girl's cold voice sounded from inside the hut, "What happened outside?"
As the girl's words fell, people could see a slim girl appearing outside the thatched house, only supported by the man in black and the assassin leader.
The girl's face was covered by a white curtain hat, so besides Ke Shizhao, who was being held and gagged and could only make a whining sound, almost everyone else had done something to hide themselves.
But even so, Chen Changnian still recognized the young man in black clothes and mask holding Ke Shizhao at a glance as Yan Ziqing.
After she saw Yan Ziqing next to the woman. His eyes only brightened for a moment. .
She quickly said to the girl, "We are here to rob."
However, the girl was obviously not someone who lacked common sense. She sneered, "Bandits? What kind of place do you think this is?"
Then she suddenly gave an order: "Kill them all!"
As soon as her order was implemented, those people showed no mercy and immediately rushed towards Chen Changnian.
Chen Changnian was not afraid. She thought to herself that her skills were pretty good and her manpower was not small. She even wanted to show off her skills in front of Yan Ziqing to redeem herself from the humiliation of being knocked unconscious with a knife in Chunfeng Tower just now.
However, Yan Ziqing did not give her this chance. He originally held Ke Shizhao hostage and stood beside the girl wearing a curtain hat.
However, after the girl gave such an order, he suddenly pushed Ke Shizhao into the house, and then he grabbed the girl's neck in an instant.
"I will kill any of you who dare to take action." Yan Ziqing suddenly said coldly.
The partner around him suddenly turned into an enemy, and at this moment he also grabbed the life of his employer. This change obviously shocked the people around him.
However, Yan Ziqing quickly took a step back at this moment, and he grabbed Ke Shizhao again, who turned around and jumped about to escape.
Then he pinched the girl's neck with one hand and held Ke Shizhao in his other hand and took a few steps back into the house.
Seeing this situation, the first to stop were the people brought by the girl to protect her, followed by the few people brought by the assassin.
However, although they stopped taking action, they were still very wary of Chen Changnian and others.
In the end, only the assassin leader said in confusion, "Brother Liu, we have agreed on half of the bounty for each person. What do you mean by holding your employer hostage now?"
Naturally, it was impossible for Yan Ziqing to answer the assassin's words. After all, who knew whether the man wanted to distract himself.
However, the girl in white didn't understand the assassin's intentions, and only cursed angrily, "Idiot! Can't you see that their target is me?"
After cursing this sentence, the girl in white just gave an order to her guards coldly: "Leave me alone! These people must die! Ke Shizhao must die too!"
I didn't expect this girl to be so cruel, even disregarding her own life.
Realizing the girl's determination, Yan Ziqing immediately tapped the girl's mute point.
The girl immediately became speechless, but even so, his action was obviously still a step too late, and those people naturally no longer hesitated after getting the girl's instruction, and they just threw darts at the girl. He was also preparing to fight to the death with Chen Changnian.
In an instant, the situation took a turn for the worse, and what was originally a weak spot turned into a hot potato.
Yan Ziqing wanted to spare the lives of Ke Shizhao and the girl, but those people showed no mercy after the girl issued such an order, and only tried to kill them with every move.
Even Chen Changnian and the maid he brought here did have some skills, so they could barely keep the situation from losing.
But at the moment, Chen Hongnian couldn't get close enough to solve the dilemma of Yan Ziqing, who was holding the two of them hostage.
Moreover, Ke Shizhao had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she kept struggling with instinct.
Although her whole body was tied up and she was not very strong, in this highly tense situation, Yan Ziqing could not concentrate on him at all.
Yan Ziqing could only rebuke coldly, "Are you looking for death? Why are you weaker than those boudoir daughters!"
While he was scolding him, a man in black quietly came around behind him. Seeing that the man in black was holding a long blade and almost slashed Yan Ziqing's back, Chen Yannian quickly said loudly "Ziqing, be careful!"
Yan Ziqing also felt the aura behind him. When he heard Chen Changnian's words, he naturally dodged subconsciously. However, he held the two of them in his hands, but he was somewhat restricted.
Ke Shizhao struggled wildly again, but Yan Ziqing failed to fully control him. The sharp blade of the man in black only made a bloody gash on Ke Shizhao's arm.
Ke Shizhao fainted and saw his arm bleeding. He was overstimulated. He only glanced at the blood on his arm, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
But it was a good thing that he fainted.
It was a pity that Yan Ziqing was surrounded by several people at the moment, so he was distracted enough to observe his movements. However, the sneak attack failed, so he only attacked with a blade. He saw that the man's sword was as fast as a knife. The combined efforts of several people forced Yan Ziqing into a corner.
And he was holding two people hostage in his hands. It was okay to dodge, but it was extremely difficult to fight back or even find a breakthrough.
So after thinking for a moment, he just decided to let go of one burden.
Although the burden he wanted to let go of the most was Ke Shizhao, after all, he couldn't stand the fact that this old man was more delicate than the rich lady.
But he also knew that once Ke Shizhao let him go, these people would definitely kill him, and this person was still the person Zhao Yanzhen ordered to protect, so he couldn't let him go. After weighing the pros and cons, he only had nothing left to threaten. The valuable girl in white ran into the hands of a guard.
Fortunately, although that person had the order to leave the girl in white alone, they would still try their best not to hurt the girl in white if they could avoid hurting her.
Therefore, when the guard discovered that the girl was being slapped towards him by Yan Ziqing, he quickly withdrew his sword and took the waist of the girl in white with one hand.
His original intention was to take the girl back to a safe area, but he didn't expect that his retreat would give Yan Ziqing an opening to break through.
Yan Ziqing just jumped up in his direction, and then quickly joined Chen Changnian.
After seeing this change clearly, the lady in white suddenly became angry. She just pushed away the guard who was protecting her and said, "Why are you still waiting here? Everyone has run away! Why don't you hurry up and chase after me!" "
The guard did not say anything after being scolded, but he still followed the order of the lady in white to surround Yan Ziqing and the others, but before leaving, he only handed them a dagger.
The lady in white took the dagger nonchalantly.
Then when the man left, the lady in white said in a hoarse voice, "Kill them! Don't leave a single person alive. If you accomplish this, you will be given one hundred taels per person."
It has to be said that her words only greatly stimulated the excitement of those present. After all, one hundred taels is a business, and several people allocate it at the same time. In fact, the servant does not have much in his hands.
However, this time one person has one hundred taels, so
Under the high price, there are naturally brave people.
When they started to kill Chen Changnian and Yan Ziqing, they became even more desperate for their lives.
Although the maids on Chen Yannian's side also had some foundation in kung fu, women were born with dexterity, and their physical strength was far inferior to those of the men. They looked tired after such a long battle. Seeing that other people had more or less sword wounds on their bodies. The encirclement was getting smaller and smaller in order to take care of the sisters who were almost exhausted.
There are only a few people who can fight right now.
I didn't expect this woman to be such a reckless lunatic.
Yan Ziqing also regretted letting the woman go for a moment.
However, regretting it at this moment would not help. After Chen Hongnian's sword was also knocked away by an assassin, these people were like jackals who had discovered the flaw, and they quickly rushed towards Chen Hongnian.
Seeing this situation, Yan Ziqing's eyes turned bright red. Unfortunately, he was also the one being cared for. There was a circle of people around him, and they deliberately blocked Yan Ziqing from meeting Chen Changnian.
"Ah Qian!" Yan Ziqing just screamed at that moment, and his men were no longer merciful. The weak ones ended their lives like fruits and vegetables, but even if Yan Ziqing, the assassin, was one against ten, he was as powerful as a bamboo. But it's still a step too late to solve Chen Changnian's encirclement.
Seeing that an assassin almost killed Chen Yannian's head, before his sword fell, he heard a quiet whistle in the forest not far away, and then the assassin's hand suddenly softened, and he could only look at He pinched his neck ferociously and fell to his knees with a look of extreme pain.
