“Swish…Bang…”
As the first firework rushed into the dark night sky, colorful fireworks burst into life with a crackling sound, and then one firework after another bloomed, dazzling everyone's eyes.
Just as everyone was looking up at the fireworks, a loud "boom" suddenly erupted not far away, and then the ground shook.
Zhao Yiming subconsciously grabbed Tian An's hand beside him, and reacted very quickly to let the guards following him protect one child each, and then they split up into small groups and quickly retreated back to the mansion.
When Deng Xue saw Zhao Yiming holding Tian An and Jingyu following behind, she walked towards Xiaokang. Hongtong also quickly stood beside Yaoyao, and Chen Feng went to protect Xiaoqi.
Tian Mingwu held the two sisters Tian Caihe on his left and right, with Chen Cheng and Qin Wen following beside them.
Deng Yuan happened to be next to Yuhong. He said, "Sorry," and reached out to grab her wrist.
The remaining guards such as A Bing protected the disciples Zhuhong, Yanhong, Zaohong, Meihong, Feihong, Chenghong and Suhong nearby.
The guards had just grabbed the people they were supposed to protect when the loud noise from before rang out again. Almost the next second, the panicked crowd immediately dispersed their group.
Tian An finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that every child and apprentice was accompanied by a talent, and followed Zhao Yiming away.
There were too many people on the street, and a stampede would easily occur if they continued like this, so they went into the alleys where there were fewer people.
Tian An finally had the chance to talk to Zhao Yiming, "That noise just now seemed to come from where the fireworks were being set off! Could it be that the fireworks accidentally exploded?"
Tian An suddenly stopped and frowned at Zhao Yiming who was walking in front of him. "If it really was a fireworks explosion, many people would be injured."
Zhao Yiming, who was stopped in his tracks, understood what Tian An meant and said without thinking, "Then let's go over and take a look."
Then he pulled her in another direction, walked into another alley, and quickened his pace.
After walking around in the alleys for a long time, they finally returned to the main street.
At this time, the originally bustling street was empty. When I walked across another street, I could faintly hear someone wailing in front of me.
Seeing this, Tian An became even more certain that someone was injured in front. Her instinct as a doctor made her speed up again, and she even ran ahead of Zhao Yiming.
But after she ran a few steps, she was grabbed by Zhao Yiming and protected behind him.
Just when Tian An was confused and was about to ask Zhao Yiming about the situation, a group of men in black suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.
Their footsteps were so light when they walked that they were almost inaudible. If they had not shown up on their own initiative, Tian An would not have realized that there were so many people in front of him.
It seems that they have been lying in ambush here for a long time, waiting for them.
There were about seventeen or eighteen men in black, and they quickly blocked their retreat.
The leader glanced at Tian An and Zhao Yiming and ordered, "Kill the man and take the woman away."
Tian An frowned. So these people were coming for her? When did she provoke such a killer?
Zhao Yiming stared ahead, tightened his grip on Tian An's hand, and cautiously warned him, "Hide behind me later, and be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, several men in black took the lead and attacked with knives. Jingyu behind him drew his sword and soon joined them in battle.
Zhao Yiming also drew out the soft sword from his waist, ready to fight at any time.
The next second, the two men in black behind him came straight at Zhao Yiming with big swords.
Zhao Yiming held up a sword in one hand to defend against one of them, and with the other hand pulled Tian An and turned around on the spot to avoid the attack. He also kicked the enemy and kicked the man in black directly away.
Tian An also hurriedly used her wide sleeves to take out the long whip that Zhao Yiming had given her from the space to defend against another sneak attack from the man in black.
Tian An looked at Zhao Yiming, who was holding a sword in his left hand to fend off the enemy and pulling her with his right hand, frowned and said, "There are too many of them. Let me go quickly and fight well."
Zhao Yiming said without thinking: "Don't worry about me, just protect yourself and don't get hurt." As he spoke, he repelled several men in black who came forward to provoke him.
Seeing that Zhao Yiming refused to let go, Tian An was extremely worried. While guarding against the black-clad man's sneak attack, he said, "Don't worry about me. I will hide behind you carefully and will not take any risks."
After saying that, he made up his mind, and when a man in black came at him with a knife again, he shook off Zhao Yiming's hand and immediately retreated two steps behind him.
With Zhao Yiming in front and Jingyu behind, her position is relatively safe.
Zhao Yiming's hands were empty and he panicked for a moment. He turned around and saw that Tian An was safe, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately switched the sword to his right hand and dealt with the men in black more carefully, preventing them from passing over him and hurting Tian An.
Tian An was not idle either. He whistled to call Zhuifeng and Zhuyue, tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve, took out a handkerchief with his name on it and let them hold it with their claws, then quickly went to the Duke of Zhao's Mansion and the General's Mansion to ask for reinforcements.
Seeing this, the leading man in black wanted to shoot Zhuifeng and Zhuyue with a bow and arrow, but was disrupted by Tian An who quickly summoned a crossbow from the space.
Seeing this, the man in black narrowed his only exposed eye and became even more determined to capture Tian An.
When Tian An saw him staring at him with the eyes of a prey, he felt disgusted and raised his crossbow and shot a few arrows at him.
This crossbow was improved by Zhao Yiming based on the crossbow she had used before. Not only did it have increased power and speed, it could also hold five crossbow arrows at a time and fire five consecutive arrows.
Except for the arrow that just stopped him from shooting Zhuifeng Zhuyue, the other four all hit him.
Tian An now practices archery every day, and his accuracy is extremely good. Even though the man in black dodged very quickly, he was still hit by an arrow on the arm and thigh.
Even the bow and arrow in his hand fell to the ground.
Seeing that their boss was injured, several men in black quickly retreated.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tian An took out a short arrow from his bag (space) again and loaded it onto the crossbow, and also poisoned the short arrow.
Then he immediately aimed at the leader and shot a few more arrows.
Even though his men helped block the arrows, the back of his hand was inevitably scratched by the short arrow in order to protect his face.
"Master, are you okay?" a man in black whispered.
The leader shook his head and said, "Quick, quick victory."
Suddenly, the black-clad men's attack intensified. Not to mention Jing Yu, even Zhao Yiming felt the strain.
Tian An saw this and felt anxious. He could only shoot an arrow at the men in black from his crossbow from time to time to relieve the pressure on them, and then use a long whip to protect them from sneak attacks.
But even so, there were only three of them after all, and two fists were no match for four hands. As Zhao Yiming and Jingyu gradually retreated, the encirclement gradually narrowed, and Tian An's whip had no room to move, and he could only rely on the crossbow.
