Chapter 53: Battle with the Men in Black (Long Chapter)
The leading man in black saw that there was no one next to Xuanyuan Yi's carriage. He knew his chance had come, so he used his lightness skills to come to the side of the carriage.
Xuanyuan Yi looked at the man in black who was getting closer and closer, and his eyes instantly became as cold as ice.
If he could stand on his legs, he would not be afraid of them, but now he has become a lamb to be slaughtered.
Inside the carriage, a faint light flashed. He secretly tightened the dagger at his waist, preparing to deliver a crucial blow to the man in black at the critical moment.
At the same time, the air around them seemed to freeze, and Uncle Fu and the cook did not hide out of fear of death.
Uncle Fu picked up the long stick beside him. The shadow of the stick was like a dragon, and he looked very powerful. If you didn't see his legs shaking like Parkinson's, you would really believe it.
The cook picked up the kitchen knife in his left hand and the rolling pin in his right hand. Although they were not weapons, they became his weapons at this moment, making him more vigorous and ready for battle.
Nanny Fang, a usually gentle woman, was like a guardian angel at this moment, straightening her back and standing in front of Concubine Xi.
He acted as if he was going to step over the Empress Dowager if he wanted to touch her.
Her eyes were firm and she held an ordinary silver hairpin tightly in her hand, ready to deal with sudden danger at any time.
Although Concubine Xi looked frightened, she still stood in front of Xuanyuan Yi. This was her nature as a mother.
Xia Qingfeng couldn't help it. He was unhappy that Xuanyuan Yi broke off his sister's engagement. He couldn't bear to watch Xuanyuan Yi die.
Just as she was about to stand up, Xia Xing'er stopped her: "Second sister-in-law, keep an eye on your man. How can you let him do something like this? I haven't exercised for a long time."
Before Bai Wan'er could reply, Xia Qingfeng refused: "Little sister, at a time like this, as a brother, I must rush to the front. You can't compete with me."
Xia Xing'er: Okay, she forgot that this guy also likes to fight.
"Then let's have a competition to see who can harvest the most."
"make a deal!"
Before rushing out, Xia Xing'er reminded the rest of the Xia family, "Dad and Mom, just keep pretending to be unconscious. Big Brother and Third Brother, I'll leave them to you two."
Although they all took the pills, I was still worried that they would get hurt.
The tip of the sword gleamed coldly, only an inch away from Uncle Fu's chest. At this critical moment, two figures suddenly cut through the solidified air like arrows.
Xia Xing'er's body was light, and she tapped the ground with her toes. She turned into a streak of light and rushed towards the black-clothed leader. She snatched the sword from his hand with her backhand, and with a flash of cold light, she pointed it at his throat.
Xia Qingfeng roared angrily, like a tiger coming down the mountain, his fists whistling as he hit the group of people in black. Each punch had the power to break the wind, and instantly forced several people in black to retreat several steps. The pressure on Meteor and Liuyun was instantly reduced a lot.
Seeing this, the black-clothed leader's pupils suddenly shrank and he quickly stepped back. If he wanted to leave, it would depend on whether Xia Xing'er wanted him to leave.
But Xia Xing'er turned her body strangely, and her long face drew a gorgeous arc in the air, heading straight for his face.
At the same time, Xia Qingfeng's fists were like a violent storm, constantly attacking the black-clothed man's defense line. Every collision was accompanied by a dull sound and the black-clothed man's painful groan. The scene was chaotic and intense for a while.
Liu Youran was worried about them, staring at the two figures moving among the men in black without blinking.
She wanted to ask her husband, eldest son, and third son to go out and help, but then she thought of what her daughter had just said and forced herself to suppress the thought.
Xia Qingyun and Xia Qingyu stood up and tried to rush out to help, but Liu Youran stopped them: "You all stay here and don't forget what Xing'er just said."
Liu Youran's mood at the moment was like a roujiamo, attacked from both sides.
Xuanyuan Yi struggled to get out of the carriage, but Concubine Xi grabbed his wrist and said, "If you go out like this, not only will you not be able to help them, but you will become a burden to them."
Concubine Xi knew that what she said would definitely hurt her son's self-esteem again, but now she just wanted him to live, even if he could never stand up again in his life.
Forgive her selfishness, she only has this one child.
Xuanyuan Yi wilted instantly. For the first time, he blamed himself, his royal brother, and everyone?
If he could stand up and his martial arts skills were still there, he wouldn't have to send his beloved girl to fight the man in black. It was all his own fault for being useless.
Xuanyuan Yi felt like there was a ball of fire in his heart that he couldn't vent, and he was unable to breathe.
The three little ones didn't dare to breathe, their eyes sparkling as they stared at their aunt/father/uncle who were killing everyone in the black clothes.
They are both so handsome. When will I be able to possess such kung fu?
Every time Xuanyuan Yi saw Xia Xing'er brushing past the blade, his heart would rise to his throat and he wished he could take her place.
Looking at the joy and excitement in Xia Xing'er's eyes, and her growing fighting spirit, he smiled again.
This is the real her, the unbridled little bully from Meishan who stirs up trouble and fights all day long.
His eyes were fixed on her, afraid of missing a single movement or a single look from her...
Such a large post station seemed to have become the stage for the Xia brothers and sisters. The murderous men in black were no match for them!
Xia Qingfeng's agile figure flashed in the sunlight, and every punch was like a swift lightning, unpredictable, yet intimidating.
His steps were as nimble as a leopard, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and every movement seemed to have been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations, smooth and precise. The man in black couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
Xia Xing'er holds a long sword, her posture is as agile as a dragon, and every movement is full of power and beauty.
She performed the attack, defense, advance and retreat in sword techniques to perfection, and the man in black was played around by her like a dog.
Seeing that there was no room for them to maneuver, Liuxing and Liuyun retreated to the front of the carriage.
The men in black were really angry. Their mission was almost completed, but two more Cheng Yaojins appeared out of nowhere and ruined their plans.
The two men were really good at fighting. Several of their men had died, but they couldn't even touch the corner of someone's clothes!
Are you angry or not? The black-clad man's moves are becoming more and more fierce and impatient!
But Xia Qingfeng and Xia Xing'er remained calm and composed, and were able to handle the situation with ease thanks to their internal strength and lightness skills.
In an instant, only about ten of the more than thirty men in black were left. They knew that they were no match for the two siblings. If they continued, they would all be killed here. Of the thirty-six strategies, retreat was the best one.
"Don't fight any longer, retreat!"
Someone among the men in black shouted, and the remaining men in black tried to find a breakthrough.
But Xia Qingfeng and Xia Xing'er, brother and sister, already had a tacit understanding, as if they were a pair of partners who had fought side by side for many years.
Xia Qingfeng's figure flashed, and he appeared like a ghost behind a man in black who was trying to escape. His iron fist, accompanied by the sound of whistling wind, hit the man's back mercilessly. The man in black groaned, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground, unable to move.
Xia Xing'er moved lightly among the crowd, tapping the tip of her sword lightly, and every touch brought the man in black to the ground.
There was an unquestionable determination flashing in her eyes, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if this battle was nothing more than a gorgeous dance to her.
None of the men in black survived, they were all killed here!
Xia Xing'er felt it was a pity. There were too few men in black and she didn't have enough fun beating them. It would have been better if her second brother hadn't taken half of them.
Xia Qingfeng looked at Xia Xing'er with a smile on his face: "Little sister, I killed a total of sixteen people. I wonder how many people you killed?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xing'er curled up a sly smile. She gently patted the sword in her hand, and the blood beads on the tip of the sword slid down gently, dripping into the dust and being absorbed without a trace in an instant.
She slowly raised her eyes, her eyes flashing with pride and provocation, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
"Second brother, listen carefully. Today, I, Xia Xing'er, killed seventeen men in black, just one more than you."
After saying that, she jumped lightly and landed beside Xia Qingfeng gracefully. The two smiled at each other. That smile showed the tacit understanding and pride between siblings, as well as a high degree of recognition of each other's strength.
Xia Qingfeng had always known that his younger sister was good at martial arts, but he had never imagined that she was so skilled, even better than him.
Today, Xia Xing'er also had a deeper understanding of her second brother's skills, which might also be due to the effects of the strength pill and the inner strength pill.
Now she is even more looking forward to seeing the other family members’ skills, and silently decided that she will let them practice when there is a chance.
The sunlight filtered through the clouds, dappling onto them and adding a touch of golden glow to the victory after this fierce battle.
Everything around them seemed to be still, leaving only the two of them standing side by side, and the lingering sword intent and fist wind, slowly rippling in the air, telling the story of this thrilling duel.
Xia Qingfeng reached out and patted Xia Xing'er's shoulder, his strength filled with a bit of doting and praise: "Little sister, good job! Together, we are invincible!"
The rest of the matter had nothing to do with her anymore. Someone would naturally take care of it, and they would naturally return to their families.
The officials and postmasters also came out and resigned themselves to carrying the bodies of the men in black.
The more I looked at them, the more frightened I became. Some had their throats cut by a sword, while others had their meridians severn by a punch and died.
Wang Xiaoer was in a complicated mood at the moment. Thinking of the man's instructions, he suddenly felt overwhelmed. With these two evil spirits, how could he complete the task and go back to claim the reward!
Zhang San felt lucky that he did not make things difficult for Xia Xing'er's family.
He was just a small official with no identity and no background. The two men from the Xia family had amazing fighting power, so he could only make friends with them and not offend them!
Try to give them some convenience on the road ahead!
Even the postmasters had a 180-degree change in their attitude towards the Xia family.
A donkey cart and some other items were given as a gift.
The head of the post station apologized to Xuanyuan Yi: "Your Highness, Madam Dowager, please forgive me. I am just a small post station manager. We have no choice but to follow their orders. If we don't follow their orders, then we will all die!"
The postmaster was really scared to death, and his legs were shaking constantly.
Xuanyuan Yi glanced at him coldly and suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
Xuanyuan Yi also knew that the postmaster could not be blamed for this matter. Low-level officials like them were just following orders.
The one who really wanted to kill him was the one above him, but he also felt that letting them go was too easy for him.
But what do they have? Oh, supplies.
Although he has no shortage of supplies now, who would complain about having too much?
Xuanyuan Yi's gaze, like a torch, finally fixed on the trembling body of the post station manager. His voice was cold and clear: "Considering that you are also following orders, I will not pursue it. However, you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of life.
Let’s put it this way. We have been short of food and clothing along the way. It would be best if the post station could prepare some bedding, dry food, and some silver for us as compensation to the king and the queen dowager.
Although I have been demoted, my title remains, so please don't be perfunctory!"
Upon hearing this, the postmaster felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly responded with an yes, turned around and hurriedly ordered his men to take action.
As long as their lives weren't at stake, everything was negotiable. Things could be bought back if lost, and money could be earned again. As long as life was alive, anything was possible.
After a while, several postmasters hurriedly brought in several thick and soft quilts, and also brought out several large bags of carefully prepared dry food and water. Finally, they carefully placed a heavy cloth bag in front of Xuanyuan Yi. It was filled with silver, making a crisp clinking sound.
Xuanyuan Yi was still very satisfied with their execution ability.
"Uncle Fu, divide these things into two parts and send one to the Xia family."
When Concubine Xi heard Xuanyuan Yi's order, she did not say anything to stop him, and even felt a little more in agreement in her heart.
If the Xia family hadn't come to their aid this time, they would have all died here today.
Now she felt a little regretful for letting her son cancel Xia Xing'er's marriage.
When the Xia family received the gifts from Uncle Fu, they accepted them without any hesitation.
This was what they deserved, but Xia Xing'er also secretly decided to give Xuanyuan Yi a healing pill at night to make him feel better.
She also didn't want Xuanyuan Yi to die on the road of exile.
Thinking about her own system and her family, she understood that no one wanted to be an emperor, but she could support Xuanyuan Yi.
They can complete the tasks issued by the system and find someone to rely on for their family. It’s a good deal no matter how you think about it!
Xuanyuan Yi didn't know that there was a big surprise waiting for him in the evening!
The postmaster quickly prepared two tables of hot meals for the Xia family and Xuanyuan Yi and his friends.
Now they just want to serve them well, let them eat and drink well, and get on the road quickly.
Did the postmaster's eyes drift towards Xia Xing'er and Xia Qingfeng? These two are really powerful people. They killed all the more than 30 men in black!
Here, Xia Xing'er and the others were enjoying delicious meals, while the remaining 500-odd people were still unconscious, all lying in the hall!
The postmaster didn't know what to do, whether to go up and wake them up or just leave them alone.
He didn't dare to ask now and could only worry!
Zhang San saw the postmaster's concerns and said, "Don't worry about them. Just do what needs to be done."
The postmaster also knew what attitude to use to treat the people on the ground, and they now felt some sympathy for the people on the ground.
Zhang San doesn’t know what Xia Xing’er’s attitude towards the Xia family members is?
I’m afraid it’s just a decision made in anger, and they’ll reconcile later. What if I want to settle the score with them then?
"Miss Xia, what about you, the Xia clan? Will you be treated the same as the other prisoners?"
Xia Xing'er was busy eating, her cheeks puffing up as she mumbled, "We've already asked to be expelled from the clan. It has nothing to do with them. You can do whatever you want and don't worry about us. Even if they beg us to go back in the future, we won't go back!"
