Qu Shuangyue picked up her broadsword and said to Lin Yunzhi, "There are quite a few people here, all of whom have a foundation in martial arts. Don't wander around tonight."
Lin Yunzhi nodded: "Be very careful, don't forget everything when you get into a fight, and protect Yan'er."
Qu Shuangyue rolled her eyes at him: "That's impossible."
"Yan'er will find that, when it really matters, her mother is much more useful than her father!"
Lin Yunzhi just smiled at her words.
They've been married for years, and he still doesn't know what kind of person she is?
With danger looming ahead, there was no time for arguing. He reiterated, "Protect Yan'er!"
Qu Shuangyue walked out somewhat impatiently, carrying her large sword.
As soon as she left, Lin Yunzhi immediately took out a copper coin and cast a divination. After reading the divination, his brows furrowed: "What the hell?"
This is a very special hexagram. The general meaning of the hexagram is that it signifies rebirth from the ashes and is auspicious for marriage.
Lin Yunzhi crossed his arms and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I've never been wrong in divination before, I would have doubted whether I was seeing things."
He put away the copper coins and cast the divination again, and the result was exactly the same.
He hissed softly, unable to understand the divination he had performed for the first time.
Lin Xiuyan has been busy all this time; she has already done some tricks throughout the Lin family.
When footsteps sounded outside the door, she showed no fear, only a cold laugh: "They've finally come!"
She could tell from the sound of footsteps that these people had completely surrounded the Lin residence.
After they finished surrounding the wall and the footsteps stopped, someone hooked himself onto the wall, preparing to climb over.
Lin An followed beside Lin Xiuyan and asked softly, "Miss, what do we do now?"
A murderous glint flashed in Lin Xiuyan's almond-shaped eyes: "Proceed according to the original plan. I'll guard this area, you go and keep watch in the other places."
Lin responded with a sound of agreement, glanced at her with some concern, and then immediately turned around to arrange the relevant matters.
He told himself to trust her because she had shown great strength while training them.
Although Lin An previously thought she was unreliable, his opinion of her changed after this period of training.
With the Lin family facing a formidable enemy, he must trust that she can handle this matter.
After the hooks were fixed to the walls of the Lin residence, people quickly climbed over the wall.
They looked around and found the Lin residence quiet and deserted, with not a single person in sight.
The junior leader, seeing this scene, was somewhat disdainful: "Our master said the Lin family was extremely troublesome and audacious, but now it seems they're nothing special."
He finished speaking and was about to jump down when he heard a clear female voice say, "Your master wasn't entirely wrong either."
The leader was somewhat surprised and drew his sword to strike her.
Before he could get close, he heard a whooshing sound as an arrow pierced through his chest.
He looked at Lin Xiuyan with disbelief, but she didn't even bother to give him a glance, her crossbow bolts flying out like locusts, sharp and ruthless.
She shot and killed more than ten people who climbed over the wall in one go.
Dozens of people were waiting at the foot of the wall. Hearing the commotion inside, they struggled to climb up, intending to kill her.
As for Lin Xiuyan, she had weapons in hand, so as long as she didn't encounter a master of level Wu Dao or higher, she had nothing to fear.
After she took action, she seemed like a completely different person.
His entire demeanor became extremely cold, and his eyes were sharp as knives.
Her hair was blown by the wind, swaying gently, both free and dangerous.
The crossbow in her hand can fire more than twenty arrows in succession, and she can also reload the bow while firing, in an endless cycle.
Not to mention, she also set some traps on the wall.
There are always some people who accidentally bump into them.
The wall she guarded prevented a single man in black from breaking into the Lin residence.
At this moment, she was a killing machine; anyone who dared to enter the Lin residence would be killed by her!
However, after she joined the fight, she discovered that they were all quite skilled, but she didn't give them any chance to make a move.
There was a hint of seriousness in her eyes.
Because she had already guessed which of Zhou Chenyang's troops this was.
This army, which was given to Zhou Chenyang by the emperor, numbered about five thousand men and was an elite force with strong combat capabilities.
The emperor's original intention was that if Zhou Chenyang found a suitable opportunity, he could use this army to massacre the Prince of Pingnan's mansion.
But now Zhou Chenyang is using such a well-trained army to deal with unarmed civilians!
Lin Xiuyan didn't know how many people Zhou Chenyang would send tonight; judging from the current situation, it was more dangerous than she had anticipated.
Zhou Chenyang is a scumbag!
Lin Xiuyan's group killed the men in black very smoothly. The other servants had never killed anyone before, so they were inevitably afraid and uncomfortable when faced with such a situation.
They reacted a little too slowly and were overtaken by the men in black.
Fortunately, Lin Xiuyan had anticipated this situation.
She set a trap by the wall, and when the men in black came over, they fell into the trap without realizing it, giving the servants a chance to recover.
The servants knew they would be killed if they didn't fight back, so they immediately retaliated with their crossbows.
However, out of fear, when they returned fire, they fired their crossbows indiscriminately, riddling some of the men in black with bullets, while missing others entirely.
The surviving men in black were shocked and surprised to see such a crossbow.
Because even they had never seen such powerful weapons before, even in the military!
Immediately, some of the men in black tried to snatch the crossbow, but fortunately, Lin Xiuyan had specifically instructed them not to let the crossbow fall into enemy hands.
Because once a crossbow falls into the hands of the enemy, it becomes a weapon to slaughter them.
The servants fought desperately against the man in black.
After Lin Xiuyan dealt with the men in black in front of her, she immediately rushed over to help.
She was far more skilled with a crossbow than these men in black, and quickly helped the servants kill a wave of enemies.
She said coldly, "Retreat!"
She had done a rehearsal beforehand; the Lin family mansion occupied a considerable area, and it was impossible for just a few dozen servants to keep watch over such a large mansion.
Therefore, whenever the number of enemies was too large, they all retreated to the inner courtyard.
This was a pre-arranged plan. As soon as the servants saw her, they immediately felt as if they had found their pillar of support, and their previously flustered minds calmed down.
Lin Xiuyan led everyone in an orderly retreat. The leader in charge of killing everyone in the Lin family frowned when he saw this.
The reason is simple: Lin Xiuyan's retreating formation was quite in line with military strategy, and what was most remarkable was that she remained extremely calm throughout.
The leader recognized her importance and immediately ordered, "Kill her!"
The man in black beside him responded and raised his bow, intending to shoot her.
Lin Xiuyan sensed the commotion. She narrowed her eyes, raised her crossbow, and shot an arrow like lightning, aiming directly at the foreheads of the men in black.
