What was Yang Jiaoruo going to Liuli Mountain for? What could she possibly be doing?
Shen Qianxue was shocked and immediately turned her horse around to head towards Liuli Mountain.
At this time, in Liulishan and Liuli Village, it was the time for the children to get out of school.
Zhou Chen carried his schoolbag and went home with his friends. The other children ran home like wild horses, laughing and playing wildly, but Zhou Chen walked home steadily like an adult.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, the aroma of food fills the air.
Zhou Chen quickly put down his book bag and went to help Su's mother set out the bowls and chopsticks.
Su's father also came home at this time. He carried a hunting bow in one hand and a wild rabbit and a pheasant in the other. There were also many wild vegetables and herbs in the basket on his back.
A very fruitful harvest.
Father Su smiled and said, "It smells so good! What delicious food have you made?"
Zhou Chen peeked out with a smile, "It's Mom's best spicy rabbit head!"
As he spoke, Zhou Chen ran out to help Su's father unload his heavy burden.
Su's mother came out, placed the last dish on the table, and said with a smile, "You two, father and son, go wash up and eat!"
The courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Yang Jiaoruo lay on the distant hillside watching. Although she couldn't hear what was being said, the harmonious atmosphere moved her.
Phoenix Pavilion is full of orphans, with few elders. This kind of atmosphere is a wonderful experience that Yang Jiaoruo has not had in a long time.
Yang Jiaoruo was just old enough to remember when her parents died in battle. The cold and dark scene still echoes in her mind, tormenting her day and night.
Both of Yang's parents were generals, loyal and righteous throughout their lives, sacrificing their lives for their country, and are worthy of our utmost respect.
When Yang Jiaoruo was a child, she often heard about patriotism and the greater good of the people, which planted in her young heart the desire to quell the chaos and create a prosperous world.
After her parents died in battle, Yang Jiaoruo was determined to carry on their wishes. So, over the years, she has never slacked off and has worked hard to become stronger.
On the battlefield, Yang Jiaoruo was braver and more fearless than any man. Her prestige in the army was also quite high. She felt that she had not let her parents down.
However, the world was not yet unified.
That's because Su Jin is the obstacle in our way!
Yang Jiaoruo gritted her teeth and suppressed her hesitation. Great men don't concern themselves with trifles. She was only kidnapping them, not killing Su's parents. As long as Su Jinxia complied, she could send Su's parents back safely.
"General, when should we make our move?" asked two soldiers behind him.
Yang Jiaoruo brought four people with her. She had chosen them temporarily in Lin'nan, otherwise it would have been difficult for her to kidnap two people by herself.
However, when they went up the mountain, they found that the defenses of the Liuli Society were different from those on the map. They encountered guards on the way and had no choice but to enter the mountain. Two of them were killed by wild animals.
Now there are only three people left.
Yang Jiaoruo said in a low voice, "Wait until it's late, there are too many people now."
There are many disciples of the Liuli Society in Liuli Village. They are highly skilled in martial arts, and it will be difficult to retreat once they are alerted.
The guard asked again, "Who is that boy? Are we going to kidnap him too?"
Yang Jiaoruo also looked puzzled. She hadn't heard that Su Jinxia had any other relatives. Could they be disciples sent by Su Jinxia to protect Su's father and mother? But their intimate manner didn't seem like it.
Yang Jiaoruo hesitated for a moment, then said, "We'll see when the time comes!"
The two soldiers stopped asking questions and lay low, waiting for nightfall.
It was late at night. Su's parents had gone to bed early, but Zhou Chen was still studying hard under the lamp.
"Is this guy going to stay up all night?" The guard rubbed his sore neck, yawned, and was about to fall asleep.
If Zhou Chen doesn't sleep, they won't be able to make their move quietly.
Yang Jiaoruo clenched her fists, getting impatient. Her eyes flashed, and she said coldly, "I'm not waiting any longer, let's go! Leave the boy to me, you two go and capture Su's father and mother."
"Yes!" The guard immediately perked up.
The three of them silently sneaked into Liuli Village and arrived at the courtyard wall. Two guards climbed over the back house and sneaked into the room of Su's parents, while Yang Jiaoruo kept an eye on Zhou Chen.
Yang Jiaoruo looked at the houses that were right next to her and felt a little uneasy. She pulled out a hidden weapon from her hand and prepared to fire it.
As the weather grew colder, the windows in the room were all closed when people went to bed at night. The guard gently pushed the window, and it made a creaking sound.
Zhou Chen, who was reading a book, suddenly looked up and looked towards the source of the sound.
Is the window not closed properly?
Zhou Chen thought about it and got up, preparing to walk over.
Yang Jiaoruo's pupils contracted, and the hidden weapon flew out of her hand.
Zhou Chen was quick-witted; sensing danger, he instinctively leaned back, and the hidden weapon grazed his cheek.
The hidden weapon was originally intended to strike his temple!
When her first attack failed, Yang Jiaoruo became nervous, fearing that Zhou Chen's shouts would attract more people. So, she immediately grabbed her sword, climbed over the courtyard wall, and thrust it straight at Zhou Chen!
Yang Jiaoruo moved with incredible speed, her eyes filled with murderous intent. Zhou Chen was not her target, so she was determined to kill him.
"Father!"
Zhou Chen was shocked. He picked up the bamboo slips on the table and threw them at Yang Jiaoruo while shouting.
Upon hearing the shouts, Su's father immediately awoke and met the eyes of the two guards who had just climbed in through the window. He roared, "Where did these thieves come from!"
The two guards exchanged a glance. "Let's finish this quickly and avoid alerting anyone else!"
Immediately, the guards pounced on Su's father.
Su's father was a hunter who had been out hunting for many years and was also quite skilled in martial arts, able to hold his own against the guards.
"What happened?" Su's mother woke up groggily.
Upon seeing this, the guard spun around and rushed to Su's mother, delivering a swift chop to her neck, causing her to faint.
"Huihui!" Su's father called out Su's mother's childhood name, his voice filled with surprise, anger, and worry.
The guard seized the opportunity and kicked Su's father away.
Su's father's body burst through the window and fell into the courtyard. The guards chased after him, their hands turning into claws as they reached for Su's father's neck.
At this moment, Zhou Chen's room was in complete disarray. He threw everything he could at Nie Qingyi, leaving nothing to defend himself. Nie Qingyi's sword, without any mercy, was aimed straight at his throat.
At the critical moment, an overwhelming force surged forth, causing Yang Jiaoruo and the others to tremble and feel a momentary daze as if their brains had been struck. For a moment, it seemed as if space itself had frozen.
The next second, a short knife flew toward Yang Jiaoruo's longsword at an extremely fast speed.
The longsword was struck violently, and Yang Jiaoruo's hand went numb. The longsword flew out of her hand and became embedded in the window.
On the other side, before the guard could even touch Su's father, he was kicked to the ground by Fei Tian, making a loud noise.
Immediately afterwards, two figures landed in the courtyard.
Both were dressed in black, and it was Su Jinxia who threw the flying sword, while it was Shen Qianxue who kicked someone.
Shen Qianxue landed beside Su's father and quickly helped him up, asking anxiously, "Uncle, are you alright?"
Mr. Su rubbed his lower back. "I'm fine. Quick, go save your aunt!"
