Yu Yichou clenched his fists and blocked Xie Ling in front of him, "Zhao Yuanduan, this girl is innocent. I warn you, don't touch her."
Zhao Yuanduan sneered, his face was hateful, "You still warn me, what is your identity? I just kept you because I thought it was fun to play with you. I can kill you at will. As for this beautiful girl, I will directly kidnap her back to the mansion..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Ling reached out and broke his fingers.
Then he rolled over and pressed the cold dagger against his neck.
Blood gushed out, Zhao Yuanduan's eyes widened in disbelief, he was so scared that he forgot to speak.
Xie Ling said in a cold voice, "Tell your men to release the little girl. I will count to three. Three——"
Zhao Yuanduan screamed, "Zhao Da, let that kid go!"
Zhao Da let go of his hand, and Ru Jieer quickly ran over with red eyes.
At the same time, more than a dozen sharp blades fell from the osmanthus tree!
Zhao Da was unable to dodge and was stabbed to death on the spot, with blood flowing all over the ground.
Zhao Yuanduan's eyes widened and he was so scared that he wet his pants.
Xie Ling frowned in disgust and kicked him to his knees.
At this moment, a piece of cold cloth suddenly covered Xie Ling's entire face, and everything in front of her eyes was covered with blue, and she could not see anything clearly.
Before she could lift it, after a shrill scream, the cloth in front of Xie Ling was lifted.
The bluestone slabs were stained a glaring red by the blood.
Zhao Da knelt on the ground, his back pierced by a sharp hatchet, his eyes wide open, and he had stopped breathing.
Xie Ling quickly turned around to see Ru Jie'er, and saw Yu Yichou covering Ru Jie'er's eyes and holding her in his arms to prevent her from seeing such a bloody thing.
Xie Ling pondered: "You are--"
Yu Yichou's face was calm, without any fear of sin, and his narrow eyes were as dark as the sea.
He said calmly, "Zhao Yuanduan is the nephew of the governor of Jincheng. He is a man who bears grudges and will take revenge. If you offend him, he will not let you off easily. I don't mind, but you are different. I cannot let you get involved, so I'll just kill him to prevent future troubles."
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows, "Nephew of the governor of Jincheng? Aren't you afraid?"
At the same time, she keenly noticed the deep hatred in Yu Yichou's eyes when he talked about the prefect of Jincheng.
Even when facing the rogue and dissolute Zhao Yuanduan, Yu Yichou did not have such deep hatred in his eyes.
Yu Yichou shook his head and pointed at a semicircular protrusion next to the wooden door, and the blades under the osmanthus tree rose up again in unison.
There was a hint of apology in his eyes. "I'm sorry for scaring the girl. I'll take care of it. You can take Ru Jieer home."
After the blades were raised, the osmanthus tree returned to its original appearance, and it was impossible to tell that there were more than a dozen sharp blades hidden on it.
If Xie Ling guessed correctly, this is a mechanical trick!
Mechanical engineering is the use of mechanical power to cleverly control things in order to achieve magical effects.
During this dynasty, Qinfeng Pavilion, one of the four major sects, was famous for its mechanical arts.
Xie Ling thought about it and remembered that during the last days, hidden families emerged and some families were famous for their mechanical arts. Mechanical masters were also called Yanshi.
It is said that it is possible to make wooden birds that can flap their wings and puppets that can walk freely.
Yu Yichou is not as simple as he seems.
Xie Ling put the packaged medicine in Yu Yichou's hand and asked him to prepare it regularly for the little boy who was sick.
She took Ru Jie'er from his hands, covered her eyes, and walked out.
Ru Jie'er must have been frightened, and she held on to Xie Ling's clothes tightly all the way.
At this time, the late-night snack stalls on the streets were also set up, with shouting and selling, it was very lively.
Xie Ling bought some food for Ru Jie'er.
At the same time, he taught her in a gentle voice that she should never go out with strangers in the future.
Ru Jieer nodded obediently, her big wet eyes full of regret, and her chubby hands tightly hugged Xie Ling's neck, "It's all Ru Ru's fault, sister-in-law, please hit me."
Xie Ling patted her little butt gently and said, "Yes."
Ru Jieer twisted her body a little, and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, "Sister-in-law, it's itchy!"
Xie Ling got excited and tickled her again.
He tickled Ru Jie until she giggled and her little face turned red.
When we returned to the inn, the Pei family members were still awake.
When they have some peaceful days, Pei, Song and Qiuyue like to prepare some new foods.
Tonight, Xu Jia Yu Niang was also here. The four of them were rubbing something on a wooden board. It was green and had an alluring fragrance.
As soon as Xie Ling walked over, Pei stuffed a small piece into her mouth. It was warm, soft, sticky and sticky to her teeth, and the fragrance spread from her mouth and throat all the way to her stomach.
Xie Ling was surprised and asked: "What is this?"
Qiuyue rushed to answer, "This is a specialty from the hometown of Madam Xu, Yu Niang. It's called Mian Hao Ba. It smells delicious!"
"Oh." Xie Ling nodded, "I'll add something else for you."
Xie Ling pretended to go to the box where things were stored, but in fact she used her mind to take out five cups of milk tea from the space, and also took a few bags of potato chips, spicy strips, boneless chicken feet and other snacks and brought them over.
"We are having a full midnight snack today."
Looking at Pei's face, Xie Ling suddenly thought of Yu Yichou. Gu Wei and Gu Yun both looked like Pei, and he and Pei also looked quite similar.
Then he asked, "Mother-in-law, do you have any relatives with the surname Yu?"
Pei thought about it for a while and shook his head, "No."
Xie Ling nodded.
I thought to myself, this is strange.
How can they be so similar?
Everyone's eyes lit up as they ate the snacks Xie Ling brought out; they were so delicious.
Take another sip of sweet milk tea, it’s so comfortable!
Qiuyue licked the spicy strips packaging clean, and then licked her fingers, which were so spicy that she smacked her lips. "Miss, what is this? It's so delicious!"
"Latiao, I'll teach you how to make it tomorrow."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the inn.
"You are thieves! You are robbers!"
"You are a bunch of crude outsiders. It is a honor for you to come to Jincheng and buy your water."
Xie Ling opened the window and saw a group of people she had never seen before arguing with the exiled prisoners in the open space outside the inn.
