Dark clouds shrouded the sky, the bright moon vanished without a trace, the night was deep and dark, there wasn't even a breath of wind, and the air was filled with a oppressive and damp atmosphere.
One by one, the lights in the courtyard were turned on. Under the dim candlelight, Qing'er looked on blankly as the two people walked towards the open space in the backyard.
She couldn't understand why His Majesty and Miss were chatting in the room and suddenly started fighting.
Although it's supposed to be a friendly competition, isn't this timing incredibly inconvenient? It's already late at night, and we have to return to Jinling early tomorrow morning. If we're really interested in competing, we should do it after we get back to Jinling. Why insist on having a competition tonight?
Moreover, judging from their expressions, they seemed unusually serious. Although they claimed it was a friendly spar, their demeanor didn't quite seem like it. Qing'er watched them with concern, not wanting either of them to get hurt.
At this moment, although he left the house later, Jin Changge, who had already walked to the open space, stood still.
She had cut her long hair when she assassinated the foreigners, and it hadn't grown much in recent days, so she still wore a ponytail. At this moment, she stood quietly on the ground, holding a sword, like a knight-errant, and even breathing to keep herself in the best state of mind and body.
Qin Ze, who was walking over, placed his sword on the stone table in the backyard, turned around and called out to Jin Changge:
"What are you doing? Put the sword over here. This is a fistfight, not a sword fight."
"Huh? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Jin Changge was taken aback, then quickly ran over and placed the sword on the stone table as well.
"Swords have no eyes, what if they hurt you?" Qin Ze said with a smile.
"Hmph, don't talk big. You'd be even less likely to win in a sword fight," the girl retorted.
"Heh, we'll see if I was exaggerating after the fight. That punch from back then really hurt me all night; you should pay me back." Qin Ze walked to the open space, looked at her, and said with a smile.
Jin Changge stepped forward, facing him directly, and said disdainfully, "Don't say I was heartless when you get beaten up later."
"You'd better think about how to protect your face first. I'm going to punch you back next, and even if you come back to Beijing with me looking like a pig's head, I won't care." Qin Ze said with a grin, striking a pose.
Upon hearing this, the girl pursed her lips tightly. She had already decided to give him another punch later, so that he could savor the taste of that year.
Qing'er, who was watching from the sidelines, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Miss, it's enough to stop here."
"You can't slap someone in the face; it doesn't look good for anyone to get swollen up."
Qin Ze ignored him and said, "That won't do."
"This punch must be returned. Go and prepare the ointment first, and apply it to her face later."
Before she could finish speaking, Jin Changge, who had already assumed a fighting stance, retorted sharply, "Then let's see if you have the ability!"
"Take this!"
Just like back then, the young girl remained true to herself and took the initiative.
Things are different now. Last time, she was just a ten-year-old girl, but now she is a graceful young woman. Her agility and strength are much better than before. Moreover, on the night of the assassination, she was able to kill dozens of people in the midst of a dangerous siege, so her mind has been tempered to be as solid as a rock.
As the saying goes, true skill is revealed in action. Jin Changge moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, and in the blink of an eye, she had already rushed in front of Qin Ze.
And this time, she still used her fists!
With a right straight punch, she aimed directly at Qin Ze's left cheek!
"Ah!" Qing'er, who was watching from the side, exclaimed in surprise. She knew that her young lady was very skilled, but she should have held back a bit when facing His Majesty. But as soon as she saw her throw that punch, Qing'er knew that she was going all out. So when the punch hit His Majesty, His Majesty would definitely fall to the ground.
Her heart pounded in her chest, and her breath seemed to freeze for a moment. She didn't even dare to look anymore, so she squinted.
And the next moment.
Qing'er shuddered, her eyes widening in shock.
"What are you doing?!" A startled shout rang out from the crowd, coming from Jin Changge, who looked terrified.
Just as she was about to throw a punch at Qin Ze's left cheek, Qin Ze suddenly bent down, not only dodging the punch but also rushing forward and grabbing her waist with both hands.
At that moment, Jin Changge, whose waist was being hugged, blushed and tried to push him away.
Qin Ze remained silent, and the moment he hugged her waist, he reached out and hooked one of his feet around the girl's ankle.
With a loud "bang".
The girl, whose ankles were being pulled forcefully, could not stand steadily, and the tight embrace around her waist made it even more difficult for her to exert any strength. Inevitably, she fell backward onto the grass.
Qin Ze also fell down with her. Even now, he still hadn't let go, and thus he fell down along with the girl.
The only difference was that he was straddling the girl's waist, and was now grinning as he raised a fist, about to land on her face.
Jin Changge was shocked and furious, but she reacted with exceptional speed. After witnessing Qin Ze's unexpected move, she calmed down. Just as her fist was about to fall, she bent her legs and used her knees to slam into Qin Ze's back!
Qin Ze seemed to have not expected that the girl could use such a quick counterattack under these circumstances. Caught off guard, he was suddenly pushed against the back and leaned forward. Not only did his fist miss, but he also fell forward.
This inevitably caused his chest to press against Jin Changge's face. Just as Jin Changge was about to push him away, Qin Ze turned around and slid behind the girl like an eel.
But this freed Jin Changge from her predicament. She quickly used her waist and abdomen to lift herself up...
Sudden!
Two hands suddenly reached out from behind, slipped under the girl's armpits, and then immediately tightened.
Jin Changge felt as if her arms were chained and she couldn't move, but with her excellent flexibility, she immediately reacted and kicked the man behind her in the face.
To her surprise, before she could even fully lift her legs, the man's feet grabbed onto hers and clamped them firmly.
Qing'er, who was watching from the sidelines, blushed as she watched the two "entangled fight".
At this moment, the young lady was firmly held from behind by His Majesty, who was half-lying on the ground, while the young lady... was lying on His Majesty with her back turned.
His Majesty was initially as slippery as an eel, but now he was like an octopus, using both hands and feet to make the young lady unable to move.
Qing'er could roughly recognize what kind of moves these were. Some of them resembled grappling, while others resembled wrestling. Although the moves were not very elegant to use, they were undeniably very effective.
As a woman, Miss is naturally weaker than His Majesty, and she would find it even more difficult to deal with such close-quarters combat.
Furthermore, the way these two are currently in is truly embarrassing....
Qing'er covered her face, only peeking out through the gaps in her hands.
Jin Changge, who was also restrained, blushed and struggled, but the man behind her tightened his grip on her hands and feet, making it almost impossible for her to move.
But her indomitable spirit had been ingrained for a long time, and she struggled and twisted her body, still putting up a fight.
