Ma Wencai grasped Zhu Yingtai's hand unconsciously, and looked at him with his eyes, his body was already covered with sweat.

Zhu Yingtai breathed lightly, moved her hand away from Ma Wencai's mouth, made a silent gesture, then slowly stretched under the pillow, and drew out a short dagger.

Ma Wencai's heart tightened.Zhu Yingtai carried this dagger with him for self-defense, he had never seen it used before, and he only hoped that it would not come in handy tonight.

However, the sky does not follow people's wishes.A figure flashed past outside the window and stayed by the door.

Only hearing the slight "squeak" sound of the door hinges turning and rubbing, Marvin narrowed his eyes slightly, and heard the very small sound of clothes rubbing gradually approaching.

With a flash of cold light, he suddenly widened his eyes, and the man was also carrying a dagger, and he stabbed Zhu Yingtai's throat with his hand.

Zhu Yingtai raised her hand, and the two daggers collided with each other with a "ding".

The man lost his mind for a moment, probably did not expect the two people to be sober.

Zhu Yingtai took the opportunity to grab the man's right hand holding the dagger, and buckled it back.The man's wrist hurt, and it was dislocated with a "click", and the dagger fell to the ground immediately.

Zhu Yingtai hit his forehead again with an elbow, and there was a muffled "boom", and the man let out a hum, and it was so soft that he fell to the ground, bringing the screen to the ground, and fell together.

Another person came in from outside the door, also holding a dagger, and stabbed Zhu Yingtai in the back.

Ma Wencai yelled: "Get down!" grabbing the pillow and throwing it over.

Zhu Yingtai bowed without hesitation, and while the man waved his hand away from the pillow, he stretched out his hand and stroked backwards, leaving two stab wounds with deep bone visible on the man's calf.

The man suffered a painful meal, Zhu Yingtai rushed out with a punch, hit the man in the lower abdomen, and knocked him out of the door.

Ma Wencai picked up the dagger dropped by the first person, threw it under the bed, and pulled the sheet to tie him up.

Outside the door, Zhu Yingtai was already in a fight with another person, the two of them unloaded each other's weapons, and now they were fighting with all their strength.

Although Zhu Yingtai had injured the man's leg first, the man pulled Zhu Yingtai to the ground and grabbed his neck with his weight and brute strength.

Ma Wencai was so angry that he picked up a dagger, threw himself at the man's back, and stabbed it into his back.

The man let out a scream, and his hands had no strength left.Ma Wencai's eyes were red, and he drew out the dagger and cut it again.

Zhu Yingtai turned over, kicked the man far away, grabbed Ma Wencai's hand, and said, "Yihua! I'm fine now!"

Ma Wencai lost all strength, the dagger fell to the ground, and his whole body trembled.

At this time, everyone else in the small courtyard had already woken up, and when they went out, they saw a man in black lying on the ground in the courtyard, with a puddle of blood pouring out from under his body, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Ma Wencai and Zhu Yingtai were standing in front of the main room, their bodies were also covered with blood, and they couldn't tell whether it was their own or someone else's.

Sanqi yelled, and immediately rushed to the two of them, checking up and down for any injuries.

Liang Shanbo walked up to the man in black, seeing that he was still alive, he waved his hands and called Sijiu to tie him up.

Yin Xin and Liu Qu each held a wooden stick and looked around vigilantly in case anyone else came.

Somebody nearby heard the noise, came over with a lantern, and shouted, "What's going on inside?"

Hearing that the voice was from a classmate, Liang Shanbo opened the door a little and said, "A thief broke in."

The man was so frightened that he asked, "Did someone get hurt? Where is the thief?"

Liang Shanbo turned his head and saw that Sanqi took out the wound medicine, but his expression was not very anxious. He opened the door and said, "I suffered some minor injuries, and the thieves have already caught it."

The man looked anxious, and said: "Do you need to call for someone? If there is anything I can help, Brother Liang just ask."

Liang Shanbo thanked him with his hand, and asked him to call Ah Cheng, while he strode up to Ma Wencai and Zhu Yingtai to see how they were doing.

When Zhu Yingtai fought with the second person, her arms were cut several times, and her neck was strangled with bruises.

Ma Wencai was fine, but because he didn't know how to use a dagger, when he stabbed the man's back twice last time, he cut his palm, which looked worse.

In fact, Ma Wencai's hands were still numb, and they trembled slightly when he exerted too much force. He didn't feel the pain until Sanqi carefully bandaged him.

After they were all bandaged up, Ah Cheng arrived with a few nurses holding torches.

Seeing that everyone in the small courtyard was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief, pointed at the man lying in the courtyard and said, "Is this the villain?"

Zhu Yingtai nodded, then pointed to Ma Wencai's room and said, "There is another one over there."

Ah Cheng asked someone to carry out the inner one and put it together with the outer one.

These two people were wearing identical black clothes, the clothes were close to the body, looking crisp and neat, and the daggers they used were also finely forged guys.Everyone knew in their hearts that this was definitely not an ordinary thief who broke into the empty door and robbed money.

Zhu Yingtai looked at Ma Wencai's bandaged right hand, with a gloomy face, and said to Ah Cheng, "I'm afraid these two people are here to deal with Yihua and me. One sneaks in to kill people, and the other releases the wind. If it wasn't for me and Yihua tonight Hua Yetan, I heard someone broke into my house, we are probably two corpses now." He sneered, and said: "I must take these two people back for interrogation, Ah Cheng can also search around in the academy , to see if anyone else is injured, but please be careful, these people are not weak."

Ah Cheng knew that the matter was not simple, so he didn't say much, and took people to inspect elsewhere.

It is also now that the academy has been hit by a disaster, the walls have been washed away, and there is insufficient manpower, so it is impossible to arrange night vigils everywhere, so there is such a big loophole.If these two people really got their hands, I am afraid that the academy can be demolished by the Zhu and Ma families.

He couldn't help feeling resentful toward the man behind the scenes.

Such a commotion lasted until dawn, and the academy now has less than a hundred people, and what happened in Buwei Juli spread the word immediately.

The injuries on Ma Wencai's hands and Zhu Yingtai's neck were very conspicuous, and it was shocking to see.

The two thanked the classmates and teachers who came to visit, and they were about to board the carriage and set off.

Liu Si emerged from the crowd and said to Ma Wencai, "Brother Ma, what are your plans for the future?"

"What plan?" Marvin was puzzled.

Liu Si's face turned red, and he said: "Nowadays, the world is getting more and more chaotic. I can't think well. I just thought that Brother Ma could create a self-help meeting in the past, and he might be able to teach us how to do it in the future. I think I will follow you from now on."

Some students from the Self-Help Society or not from the Self-Help Society in the crowd also agreed, and Ma Wencai moved in his heart, and said, "Everything is still undecided. If I have a plan, I will send someone to tell you. If you believe me, you can follow."

Liu Si laughed and said, "Then it's settled!"

Ma Wencai smiled and cupped his hands, and got into the carriage with Zhu Yingtai and the others.

Zhu Yingtai asked him in a low voice: "Do you have any other ideas?"

Ma Wencai pondered for a moment, but instead asked: "Who are those two people, do you know in your heart?"

Zhu Yingtai shook her head and said, "It may be that some aristocratic family disliked the Liang family and provoked conflicts between us and the Liang family. There is no real evidence for this matter, and I am afraid it will become an unsolved case."

Ma Wencai nodded, and said, "I think so too. Now that the Liang family is powerful, and we are famous in front of the Holy Majesty, if we stay here, we will be free in the future."

Zhu Yingtai raised her eyebrows and asked, "You mean, go?"

"Yes," Ma Wencai said, "In my opinion, His Majesty has a plan in mind. He will let the aristocratic families fight each other, and as time goes by, he will be able to get rid of the constraints of the aristocratic families. Therefore, the Liang family will not be proud for long, but we will Whether it will be the next knife, or the next lamb to be slaughtered, no one can say for sure. In this case, why not stay away from the place of right and wrong, close the door and live your own life, no matter which one is overwhelming, it has nothing to do with us .”

Ma Wencai has neither the ambition to dominate the world nor the loyalty to sacrifice his life to serve the country. He is just an ordinary person who is used to living a peaceful modern life, and he just wants to live a good life with his family and love.

Zhu Yingtai smiled, pinched his face, and said: "Even if we go to other places, as long as our two families exist, right and wrong will follow. It doesn't mean that you can stay away if you stay away."

Ma Wencai was a little disappointed, but Zhu Yingtai said: "However, if our two families work together, we should be able to protect ourselves wisely. I will send you back first, talk to your father, and then ask my father."

Ma Wen just showed a smiling face, he pulled Zhu Yingtai, and said very sincerely: "Xinzhai, I don't have any more ideas, I just hope that in this world, I can spend my life hand in hand with you."

Zhu Yingtai's expression softened, she grabbed his hand and said, "Me too."

Ma Ziming, who was suspended from his job at home, knew that someone attacked Ma Wencai and Zhu Yingtai at night, and was so angry that he dropped his tea bowl and called "too much bullying".But he also knew that this matter couldn't catch the people behind the scenes at all, so he could only suffer from this.

Zhu Yingtai and Ma Wencai talked to him about their plan to retreat to other places, Ma Ziming rolled his eyes and said, "It seems that you have already planned, so tell me, where are you going?"

Ma Wencai said: "Naturally, it is the Shu land where the Ma family's original family is located. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are natural moats in the north, boundless dense forests in the south, and high plateaus and steep mountains in the west. The only way to go to the east is to be separated by mountains. It is just right. .”

Ma Ziming nodded, turned to Zhu Yingtai and said, "I don't know what the wishes of Zhu's family are, but Ma's family already exists in Sichuan, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to settle down."

Zhu Yingtai smiled, calmed Ma Wencai's suspicious eyes, and said, "The Zhu family has already experienced moving south, so I'm not afraid. Besides, if the Ma family wants to settle down, they can't do without my Zhu family."

Ma Ziming chuckled and said: "In that case, the two families will have to make plans."

The matter is of great importance, neither the Ma family nor the Zhu family can easily decide.In addition, with the Liang family on the side, it seemed that they would catch the two families at any time, and they could only act secretly.

Probably because they have been very cautious recently, when the Liang family launched another attack, they turned their finger on another family, the Zhang family.
