Wait a minute, heroine

The sun was setting in the west, and outside the towering six-foot-high city wall of the Xihai Protectorate, large groups of soldiers were patrolling back and forth from time to time.

Beside the official road not too far from the city, a carriage was parked on the roadside. Fan Qinghe and Master Xuanji rode on the same horse, paying attention to the surrounding movements.

Ye Jingtang held a telescope, observed the warriors everywhere on the city, and said:

"Three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. They are all warriors with good kung fu skills. The protection is very tight. It is very difficult to climb over the city wall. Can I enter through the city gate?"

Fan Qinghe shook his head: "As early as when the Southern Dynasty sent troops, the clansmen in the city evacuated. Prince Zuoxian knew that the Dongming tribe would definitely rebel, and they would strictly check entering and leaving the city. They could not use the banner of the Dongming tribe. Take the back door.”

Master Xuanji hugged Qinghe's waist and rested her chin on her shoulder:

"The sentry on top of the city is not very powerful. Why don't we wait until dark and fly in?"

With the martial arts skills of the three of them, even with Hua Qingzhi and Lvzhu, it would not be difficult to enter the city silently under the cover of night.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang waited on the side of the road, looking for an opportunity to sneak in. But not long after he saw it, the bird squatting on the roof of the carriage suddenly raised his head and looked at the turret in the distance:

"Jiji?"

The Protectorate of the West Sea was the former royal capital. The southern city wall was ten miles long. The few people were quite far away from the turret in the southeast. Fortunately, the terrain was flat, so they could still vaguely see it.

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall turned its telescope to the southeast corner of the city. It could be seen that there were several people gathering together and talking under the three-story building built at the corner of the city wall.

Although it was difficult to see the faces of several people clearly due to the distance, Ye Jingtang could still tell from the clothes that there was a man in rich clothes, with a sword hanging on his waist, and his appearance was somewhat familiar.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang put down his telescope and looked at the birds:

"Is it Uncle Hua?"

Birds can look for rabbits and mice in the moonlight at high altitudes. Their eyesight is much better than that of humans. After staring for a while, they nodded like pecking at rice:

"grumble."

In the carriage, although Hua Qingzhi put on another pair of pants, she still felt uncomfortable wearing bow-knot pants that could sink into the crack of her buttocks, and she never dared to show her head.

At this time, hearing the conversation between one person and one bird, Hua Qingzhi opened the curtain and looked outside:

"Have you seen daddy?"

Ye Jingtang stood up and dismounted: "It's over at the southeast corner tower. It should be patrolling as a guard. I will take you to see Uncle Hua first and see how Uncle Hua arranges it."

Although Hua Qingzhi desperately wanted to go home, she was still a little reluctant to go home after spending so long together. After a slight hesitation, she slowly got up and walked outside the carriage.

Ye Jingtang helped Hua Qingzhi get out of the carriage, and then looked at Luzhu who followed him out:

"Luzhu, please wait for a while. I'll ask you about the situation and then come to pick you up."

"oh."

Seeing this, Luzhu sat back again.

Since Hua Qingzhi found the prescription last year and drank the medicine for several months, her legs and feet have become much better than when she was in Yun'an. However, she can only walk slowly with help, and she still has to sit in a wheelchair most of the time.

Ye Jingtang ran to touch the city wall. It was obvious that he could not pull such a big carriage. After helping Hua Qingzhi down, she half-crouched in front of her:

"I'll carry you over."

Hua Qingzhi looked at the broad shoulders in front of her, her eyes slightly hesitant, but in the end she didn't say anything. She lay on her back and let Ye Jingtang hold her legs. Before leaving, she looked back to the south, not knowing where she was. What to watch.

Huh~

Ye Jingtang picked up the light-bodied Hua Qingzhi on his back, and with just a tap of his toes, his figure turned into a black shadow. Using the cover of some vegetation outside the city, he quickly moved towards the southeast corner of the city.

The last time Hua Qingzhi came here, she was caught flying around the mountains and fields by Xue Baijin. She was no stranger to this kind of sudden acceleration. She grabbed Ye Jingtang's shoulders and skirts with both hands. After she was far away from the carriage, she thought about it and asked in a low voice. Finished sentence:

"Mr. Ye, will you go to Hua's house again in the future?"

This sentence is different from the drunken question last night, but the meaning is presumably the same.

Ye Jingtang smiled at this and said: "Of course I will go. Uncle Hua regards me as his nephew, and you have helped me so much. If I don't miss you at all in the future, I will be an ungrateful person."

Hua Qingzhi nodded her head. In fact, she wanted to ask when it would be over. However, when Ye Jingtang entered Hudong Road again, it should be when the army was approaching the city. As a northerner, it was really inappropriate for her to talk about this, so she didn't say anything at the moment. …

——

On the other side, above the southeast corner tower.

The West Sea Protector's Mansion is built against Tianlang Lake. Standing on the southeast corner tower, you can have a direct bird's-eye view of the rippling blue waves of the West Sea outside the city and the vast land to the south.

At dusk, a sunset hung on the horizon, giving the heavily guarded turret a sense of desolation.

Hua Junchen, with a sword hanging on his waist, stood under the eaves of the turret, looking at the southern land. He seemed to be surveying the situation, but deep down in his heart, he was worried about his daughter who had married away from home.

Although the experts in charge of sentries on the city wall are powerful, even iron men cannot be on duty for twelve hours. Everyone is still divided into two waves, alternating defenses day and night.

As the sun gradually sank into the horizon, and it was time to change shifts, Hua Junchen recovered his thoughts, turned around, and handed over to the guests of Prince Zuoxian's Mansion, and then walked down the corridor from the city wall to the government office below the turret.

Because the main battlefield is in the West Sea, and the opponent is a fierce man like Ye Jingtang who dares to go deep behind enemy lines alone, Yanjing has sent many masters to take charge of defense. In addition to a few great eunuchs, there are also people from Qianjimen, Canglong Cave, and Juntian Mansion. Among the warriors and loyalists from the major factions in Beiliang, half of them were stationed in Prince Zuoxian's Mansion, and the other half stayed in the government office.

As soon as Hua Junchen walked into the office, he saw Xu Tianying, who had a deep hatred for the Southern Dynasty but had not made any achievements, signing autographs in the squad room. He seemed to have just come off the shift.

Eunuch Yin, Cao Aning and other masters in the inner circle were walking towards the city wall, probably to change defenses.

Xu Tianying and Cao Aning were both hidden thorns to infiltrate the enemy. Naturally, Hua Junchen did not know their true positions. He had met Xu Tianying several times, but the contact was not deep because the court gave him the elixir but not the strength. Xu Tianying, who was stronger and more talented, was afraid that the other party would be jealous, so he always avoided it.

However, the handover of the class happened at this time, and Hua Junchen couldn't turn a blind eye. He came to the class room, took the brush from the eunuch's hand, wrote the inspection situation on the book, and said hello at the same time:

"Xu Daxia is also done?"

Xu Tianying learned from Cao Aning that Ye Dayan Wang went to Yanjing last time and hid as a servant of the Washington Palace, but it was not clear whether Hua Junchen was also a backbone of Ye Dayan King's development.

According to the code of conduct of hidden stakes, as long as the superior does not identify his identity, he must be treated as a hostile figure. For this reason, Xu Tianying did not show much enthusiasm and just nodded politely:

"This junior is too young to be worthy of the title of hero. Senior Hua doesn't mind, just call me Tianying."

"Alas, Master Xu is too humble..."

Hua Junchen laughed and chatted awkwardly, writing work records quickly in his hand, and after finishing writing, he neatly handed over his hands and left the door.

Wanbao Towers in Huafu are opened all over Beiliang, and they already have properties in the Xihai Duhufu. However, as a master in charge of the city government, Hua Junchen naturally cannot go to live in the center of the city. The place where he settles is the same as all foreign aid, in the government office. In the alley next to it, you can rush to rescue in time in case of danger.

Because he didn’t bring his wife with him on this trip, and his daughter wasn’t with him either, Li Guangxian’s coward pretended to be sick and didn’t dare to come. Hua Junchen wanted to drink but couldn’t find anyone, so he bought a pot of small wine and half a catty of beef outside the government office, and went alone He turned around and turned back, but when he walked into the old bluestone alley, his brows suddenly wrinkled and he looked at the quiet corner of the alley.

At this time, the sun had set. Because it was the time of shift change, the warriors who had been resting at home had all gone out to work. However, because it was still early in the morning, the warriors who came off the shift mostly ate and had fun in the street, and not all returned. There was no trace in the alley. Not many people.

But Hua Junchen, relying on his senses, was vaguely aware of a faint breathing sound behind the corner of the alley. It looked like someone was leaning there quietly.

"..."

Hua Junchen was holding the wine flask oil paper bag in his left hand, and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword. Seeing that the other party did not move, he wanted to shout and ask, warning the surrounding experts, but he never thought of opening his mouth just now, that is:

"woo woo woo woo--"

Suddenly, a big hand came out from behind and covered his mouth, even holding the sword that was about to be unsheathed!

Hua Junchen, who could be regarded as a man-in-one Wu Kui, was suddenly touched from behind and restrained with the same technique as a sentry. His heart was so horrified that his liver and gallbladder were split apart, and his mind had already begun to reminisce about his life in the world.

But just as he was trying to break free and fight to the death, a voice suddenly came from behind:

"Uncle Hua, it's me, it's me..."

"?!"

Hua Junchen was shaken all over, and his free movement stopped abruptly. His eyes were filled with disbelief at first, and then showed the joy of surviving the disaster. He quickly released the hilt of the sword and raised his hand to signal.

Ye Jingtang was originally waiting for Uncle Hua to come over in the alley, but he didn't expect to see him after more than a month. Uncle Hua's martial arts had improved by such a rapid pace that he found someone hiding half way across the alley.

In order to prevent Uncle Hua from shouting loudly and alerting the city guards, Ye Jingtang could only use this method to silence Uncle Hua. At this time, seeing Uncle Hua let go of the hilt of the sword, he also quickly released his hand and bowed:

"I'm really offended. I hope Uncle Hua won't blame me."

Hua Junchen's face turned pale with shock, but when he saw his son-in-law again, his eyes were filled with surprise. He quickly turned around and said in disbelief:

"Jingtang, why are you here again? I heard from Eunuch Yin that you deduced the Minglong Diagram on your own. Is there anything wrong with your health?"

Ye Jingtang deduced the Minglongtu in front of Master Xiang Han. For this reason, the top management of Beiliang knew that he was "not going to die soon", but they didn't know when he got sick and died suddenly. Hua Junchen was naturally there during this period. I worry about this secretly.

Ye Jingtang saw Uncle Hua being so concerned and said with a smile:

"Your health is fine, Uncle Hua is fine."

"That's good. How is Qingzhi lately?"

At the corner of the alley, Hua Qingzhi listened to Ye Jingtang's instructions and kept leaning against the wall to wait. When she found that both of them were talking, she quietly poked her head around the corner.

Hua Junchen spotted a familiar face in the distance with his peripheral vision. His joy and worry could be said to be written directly on his face, and he quickly came to the corner:

"You damn girl, you ran out without even saying hello. Do you know how worried your mother and uncle are?!"

Hua Qingzhi was kidnapped by Xue Baijin and traveled thousands of miles, thinking she would never go back. She didn't know how long she had been feeling lost.

Seeing her father again at this time, Hua Qingzhi, who was already young, was like a lost girl who has returned home again, and she burst into tears:

"father!"

Hua Junchen was just a girl with a stern voice, but her expression turned fierce. He looked back and forth and found that the girl was not thin, and was even standing, so he said in surprise:

"Is your leg healed already?"

Hua Qingzhi raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes: "It's not healed yet, but I can barely walk a few steps. I didn't run away from home on my own initiative this time..."

When Hua Junchen saw his daughter crying, he originally wanted to say a few words, but in the end he forgot about it and nodded:

"Dad, do you know that if you don't get admitted to the female university, I won't blame you. Let's talk about it in the room first..."

Seeing that her father had misunderstood, Hua Qingzhi's eyes naturally became anxious. She was helped by Ye Jingtang into the courtyard where Hua Junchen lived, and explained:

"No, I was kidnapped to the Southern Dynasty. Luzhu was forced to write that letter. I didn't want to elope with Mr. Ye..."

"Um?"

Just as Hua Junchen was about to close the door, he was stunned and turned to look at the Night Terror Hall.

Ye Jingtang was also afraid of being misunderstood as a bad martial arts saint who raped his daughter, so he explained:

"It's all a misunderstanding. I met Master Xiang Han who was injured that day, so I left Beiliang directly and asked Master Pingtian to help pick him up. She didn't know the situation, so she took Qingzhi away too..."

Hua Junchen frowned, stood up a little straighter, and looked at the Night Terror Hall:

"Jingtang, what do you mean?"

"..."

Ye Jingtang didn't know why, but he felt that Uncle Hua's eyes were quite oppressive, just like looking at his son-in-law who started thinking about things but gave up. He responded:

"The misunderstanding started because of me. Qingzhi wanted to go home, so I sent her back..."

"Send it back?"

When Hua Junchen saw that his married daughter was about to be thrown back by the other party, he immediately became annoyed and raised his hand to signal to the east:

"Qingzhi suddenly disappeared from home. I dare not say that I was abducted by you. I can only say that Qingzhi ran away with the servant according to the family letter. Now the whole Beiliang knows that the eldest daughter of my Hua family ran away with someone. Now, if you send Qingzhi home, how will she see anyone in the future?"

"Well……"

Ye Jingtang opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

When Hua Qingzhi heard her father's words, her eyes naturally became anxious:

"Dad, are you still not allowing me to go back? I was kidnapped..."

Hua Junchen turned back to look at his daughter and said seriously:

"How could Dad not want you to go back? But whether you were kidnapped or followed by yourself, it is a fact that you went to the Southern Dynasties with Ye Jingtang. For someone as big as you to disappear from Washington, the entire Hudong Road family The rich people will be suspicious, dad, do you have to make up a reason to explain? Now that everything has been spread, how will you be a young lady when you go home? "

Hua Qingzhi looked a little anxious: "I am innocent to begin with. It was that fierce woman Xue Baijin who kidnapped me. Is it possible that my father is still planning to go along with the situation and let me get married like this?"

Hua Junchen thought that Hua Qingzhi had been with Ye Jingtang a long time ago and regarded Ye Jingtang as his son-in-law. It didn't matter if he told him that he was innocent at this time. Isn't this troublesome?

But seeing Qingzhi's extremely aggrieved look, Hua Junchen didn't dare to say anything to push the situation aside, and just said:

"Dad didn't mean it that way, but...but..."

Hua Junchen held it in for a long time, not knowing how to deal with this matter, so he looked at the Night Terror Hall:

"Jingtang, even if it is a misunderstanding, you are the one who caused this. My daughter's family name is more important than anything else. Now that Qingzhi goes back, she will become a joke in Hudong Road. What do you think we should do?"

Ye Jingtang has been with Uncle Hua for so long that he can understand Uncle Hua's eyes and tentatively said:

"Why don't you let Qingzhi live with me first, and then take Qingzhi back to Washington when Uncle Hua comes up with a way to break the situation?"

This is right...

Seeing this, Hua Junchen nodded slightly and looked at his daughter:

"I heard that this matter needs to be considered in the long term. You can't just leave or come back..."

When Hua Qingzhi saw that her father was going to send her back to the Night Terror Hall, her eyes were incredulous:

"Dad, I am from an innocent daughter's family. If I had been living in Mr. Ye's house, wouldn't it be true that I had eloped..."

Hua Junchen felt that this was a solid idea, but it was really inappropriate to say it clearly. He was about to think of words when he suddenly noticed that his son-in-law beside him suddenly raised his hand:

"Shh~"

The courtyard immediately fell silent.

Hua Junchen was a little confused, but immediately he heard footsteps and conversations in the alley:

Tap tap tap...

"The guard has been changed, why is no one coming back?"

"This place is no better than Yanjing. There is no place for entertainment. The warriors who come here all have some status. If they can't stay, they should go to the streets to eat and drink..."

…

Ye Jingtang frowned and looked at Uncle Hua.

After listening carefully, Hua Junchen whispered:

"This is Eunuch Chen from the Twelve Institutes, the deputy of Eunuch Ziliang. He is here as a supervisor to inspect the city defense. You go in first, and I will deal with it."

The father and daughter hadn't yet understood what they said, and Ye Jingtang couldn't take Hua Qingzhi away, so they quietly helped Hua Qingzhi to the side room and closed the door and window.

Tread...

The sound of footsteps came from far away, and soon three figures appeared in the alley outside the door.

The leader is wearing a tea-green eunuch robe, holding a whisk in his arms, wearing a gauze hat on his head, his face is as white as snow, and he has no beard. He looks very clean. He is none other than Eunuch Chen among the twelve attendants, while the following two are It's a follower.

After the three of them walked to the door of the courtyard, they stopped and turned around to look inside. When Eunuch Chen found someone in the courtyard, he nodded:

"Mr. Hua just came back?"

With a smile on his face, Hua Junchen mentioned the wine bottle and beef he bought:

"Yes, when I came back just now, I bought a pot of wine and prepared to have something to eat. How about Eunuch Chen come in and have a drink?"

Hua Junchen's words were obviously polite, but unfortunately, Eunuch Chen had no intention of politely refusing to leave.

Although the twelve servants of Yandu were all eunuchs of Emperor Liang, they were not stupid and loyal warriors without their own ideas. Except for Eunuch Ziliang, everyone else wanted to climb up the ranks.

Eunuch Chen was the fifth among the twelve servants of Yandu, and his status was lower than the previous ones. However, he was brought up by Eunuch Ziliang. As an eunuch with no children, his only desire in life was to sit on the throne. The position of internal manager is to take over from Mr. Ziliang's team.

And just like Eunuch Yin promoted Cao Aning, Eunuch Ziliang also promoted him; but this promotion was only within the scope of his duties. He was given more opportunities to make meritorious deeds, and Eunuch Ziliang could not interfere with Emperor Liang's decision-making.

This time the imperial court was refining the elixir. Because the quantity was really limited, the imperial court allocated all the elixirs to the top warriors of Beiliang. Among the twelve servants, only Eunuch Ziliang got one.

Eunuch Chen originally had no objection to this allocation. After all, the people allocated were all Wu Kui. Their skills were inferior to others, so it was right for the Holy One not to give them to them.

But what he didn't expect was that after Zhongsun Jin was injured, he didn't want to waste the elixir, so he suggested to the imperial master that the elixir he didn't want should be given to Hua Junchen, who performed well in Bishui Forest.

In Eunuch Chen's opinion, elixirs are state-owned and should be distributed through discussion between the Holy Master and the Imperial Master. If Zhongsun Jin doesn't want them, they will be distributed according to merit and martial arts. It should not be Hua Junchen's turn.

Hua Junchen's martial arts attainments and past achievements can only be said to be mediocre among the heroes of the Northern Liang Dynasty; as for his loyalty and contribution to the Liang Dynasty, how can he compare to their twelve servants?

Eunuch Chen had objections to this matter and had objected to it at the time. However, Emperor Liang needed Zhongsun Jin to continue serving the court, so he gave it to Hua Junchen.

Why doesn't Eunuch Chen want the elixir refined by the imperial court? If he wants to catch up with Eunuch Ziliang in this life, he can only rely on this thing. Naturally, he feels very unbalanced about this approach of "preferring to give to outsiders rather than to domestic slaves".

As an imperial eunuch, Eunuch Chen did not dare to question Emperor Liang's decision, but it was certain that Hua Junchen would be unhappy.

Seeing Hua Junchen carrying a pot of wine and half a catty of beef, preparing to have fun in the house, Eunuch Chen didn't openly criticize him, but just led someone into the yard and asked:

"My colleagues in the alley should be drinking on the street. Why doesn't Mr. Hua go there?"

When Hua Junchen saw Eunuch Chen actually coming in, his heart froze, but he still kept a smile on his face:

"Hua has been staying in Chengtian Mansion all year round and is not familiar with the heroes from all over the world. The few friends he knows have not come to the Xihai Protectorate Mansion, so we can't drink together."

When Eunuch Chen came to the courtyard, his attitude was not unreasonable. He just said seriously:

"When you work together in the court, you must first develop the habit of not distinguishing between each other. You don't even drink together. How can you be foolproof if you help each other and cooperate with each other? Mr. Hua still has to be a gregarious person."

"..."

Hua Junchen took the elixir and knew that there were many jealous people. After listening to Eunuch Chen's words to discipline the junior, he understood that he was just looking for trouble. He nodded and said:

"What Eunuch Chen said is that Hua is used to being lax and not very understanding of the world. He will definitely try his best to integrate in the future."

Eunuch Chen shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Hua's swordsmanship is superb. Now that he has obtained the elixir, his martial arts is second only to Eunuch Ziliang among all the people. In fact, our family can't look down on those ordinary people outside..."

"Eh!"

When Hua Junchen saw Eunuch Chen digging a hole for him, he quickly raised his hand:

"Eunuch Chen's words are serious. Hua respects the knights in the world the most in his life. He only wishes he could carry a sword and travel around the world. How can he look down on the many heroes who have come here..."

"Mr. Hua comes from a well-known family. In previous years, he had people waiting on him. This time he came here in a hurry and failed to help him with his servants. He didn't even serve him a drink. This is the negligence of the court. Do you want our family to go to the city? Looking for some singers who are good at singing and dancing..."

If Hua Junchen dares to agree to this benefit, I am afraid that someone will anonymously read his book later, saying that he still lives an extravagant lifestyle despite the national crisis and does not know the hardships of the soldiers. He quickly waved his hand:

"No, no, no, the prince is always there to set an example for the soldiers. How could Hua think of having others serve him..."

…

At the same time, in the room in the west wing.

Ye Jingtang stood in the middle of the room, holding Hua Qingzhi in his arms and covering his mouth and nose with his palms. He really didn't expect Uncle Hua to be so unreliable. He said he was going to deal with the patrolling people, but turned around and invited them away. Enter the courtyard.

The twelve servants have all practiced the Ming Shen Tu. There is only one door between them. It is impossible for him to go out through the door and window silently. If he holds his breath and concentrates, he can hide for a long time, but Hua Qingzhi obviously cannot.

Hua Qingzhi leaned on Ye Jingtang's arms, resting her entire weight on Ye Jingtang's body to prevent her legs from being weak and unstable and falling. Although she was very smart and knew how to hold her breath, the scholarly lady who had never practiced martial arts, Being able to hold it in for a minute is considered powerful. As long as he takes a breath, he will inevitably leak. After just a few words, Hua Qingzhi's cheeks were already holding back the redness.

When Ye Jingtang saw the dead eunuch chattering outside, he would definitely not leave in a short time. Knowing that Hua Qingzhi would definitely not be able to hold it in any longer, his heart suddenly turned and he turned Hua Qingzhi's cheek very slightly, his eyes hesitant.

Hua Qingzhi was very smart. Looking at Ye Jingtang's actions, she guessed that Mr. Ye probably wanted to use the method of crossing Qi to solve the current situation as written in the miscellaneous books.

But the passages in the book were all about when she couldn't breathe in the water, and now it wasn't that she couldn't breathe, but she didn't dare to take a breath.

Hua Qingzhi looked at Ye Jingtang with strange eyes, and her meaning was probably - can this be useful?

Ye Jingtang actually didn't know if this method was effective. His long breathing could avoid being noticed by Eunuch Chen, but when the air entered Hua Qingzhi's mouth, it seemed to be the same as inhaling slowly. In theory, it was useless. .

For this reason, Ye Jingtang still did not shamelessly try this unrealistic method under Hua Qingzhi's suspicious eyes, and turned to look at the door.

Hua Qingzhi's eyes looked strange, but it was important to hold her breath at the moment and it was hard to think too much.

Ye Jingtang discovered the dead eunuch in front of him. Luo Liba kept looking for trouble. Hua Qingzhi was about to reach her limit. Ye Jingtang's eyes were slightly cold and he simply stopped hiding and coughed lightly:

"cough."

There was deathly silence outside the door.

Eunuch Chen, who was talking, suddenly stopped talking, and he and the two followers turned to look at the door of the west wing.

Hua Junchen, who was originally smiling, already had the urge to kill the damn eunuch. Seeing that Ye Jingtang was no longer hiding, he naturally stopped pretending, straightened his back a little, and his eyes turned cold.

"..."

You can hear a pin drop in the yard.

Eunuch Chen obviously noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He dared to use his status to suppress Hua Junchen, but in a real fight, he would definitely not be Hua Junchen's opponent. He held the whisk in his hands, looked at the west wing, and then sneered and stepped back:

"I didn't expect that Mr. Hua would hide his beauty in the golden house, so we asked him how he came back alone and bought a bottle of wine. It was our family who took the liberty to disturb us. Don't worry, Mr. Hua, our family will not report this..."

Hua Junchen didn't say anything, he just stood there with the wine in hand, watching Eunuch Chen and the two eunuchs leave as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Eunuch Chen's eyes were always fixed on Hua Junchen. When he retreated outside the courtyard gate, he dodged to the side and wanted to fly out of the alley, shouting a warning to the experts near the corner tower.

But also at this time!

call--

Behind the wall on the side of Qingshi Lane, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind.

Before Eunuch Chen's feet even left the ground, he saw a black figure rushing out from the wall on the left, like a falcon attacking a rabbit, pressing down directly from above. Although it was alone, it gave people the feeling of blocking out the sky and the sun. !

! !

Eunuch Chen was already on guard, and he reacted very quickly at this time. He immediately swept forward the whisk with his right hand, trying to get away from the attacking figure.

But Eunuch Chen obviously couldn't imagine what kind of opponent he was facing now.

The whisk was pulled upwards, but before it came into contact with the human figure, the black figure, whose speed was within the acceptable range, inexplicably increased in speed and disappeared from the place almost instantly.

? !

Eunuch Chen's hair stood on end. With his amazing senses honed by the Ming Shen Diagram, he caught the figure moving behind him, but his body couldn't keep up with the reaction. Before he could turn around, a big hand like an eagle's claw directly grabbed his back. Neck, then:

Click——

Eunuch Chen didn't even make a move to turn around, his neck was broken in an instant, his eyes remained incredulous, his knees went limp and he knelt directly on the ground.

The two followers who were following behind didn't even see what was going on. They found a figure falling between the two of them. They were heartbroken and wanted to pull out their sabers at the same time.

But he never thought that the next moment, he would be hit hard on the back of his head.

Bang bang~

Hua Junchen knew that he could not keep Eunuch Chen alive, so when he saw Ye Jingtang taking action, he originally wanted to go out and help.

As a result, as soon as he rushed out of the courtyard, he found Ye Jingtang standing there, holding the back collars of the two followers with both hands. Eunuch Chen, who had been alive just now, had already collapsed in the Qingshi Alley without even making a sound. , head tilted to one side, his neck was obviously broken.

Hua Junchen didn't expect that Ye Jingtang's murder was so clean and neat, and he didn't even have a chance to see it, but he didn't have time to be shocked at this time, so he said anxiously:

"How can I explain that Eunuch Chen was killed here?"

The Night Terror Hall showed a rare act of kindness and left the eunuch's body intact just for the sake of dealing with the aftermath. He picked up the body and responded:

"I'll throw the body somewhere else first. Uncle Hua can just continue drinking and pretend he doesn't know anything."

Seeing this, Hua Junchen nodded quickly, but then asked:

"What should I do with Qingzhi?"

"I'll pick her up right away, and come over in the evening to continue chatting with Uncle Hua. By the way, help me call Cao Aning over."

While Ye Jingtang was talking, he flew away and placed the body in another nearby alley, pretending that the thief had sneaked into the scene where he was discovered and killed.

Seeing that his son-in-law was able to take charge of his own business, Hua Junchen did not interfere. He quickly returned to the house and began to continue to exhort his daughter who had not yet gone out...
