"Shunping, wake up." Zhao Guizhi suddenly opened her eyes in a daze. For some reason, she hadn't been sleeping well at night for the past few days and kept waking up in the middle of the night.
Chen Shunping has a good temper. Every time she wakes him up, he hugs her and coaxes her, "You had another nightmare. Bad dreams don't come true, good dreams do. Go back to sleep and don't think too much."
"Shh," Zhao Guizhi put her finger to her lips and whispered in his ear, "Don't make a sound, it sounds like someone has climbed over the wall."
Chen Shunping had his eyes closed just now, but he opened them now. His wife had been suspicious lately, always feeling that someone wanted to harm them. He felt that his wife was just overthinking things.
There are four guards in the manor, plus Xiaoxiao, making five in total. Last time, when my brother-in-law's family went to the capital, I asked Jingjing and Tangguo to come to the manor to find them and protect the family's safety.
So there are a total of seven guards in the house, so even if someone does come in, there's not much to worry about.
Chen Shunping was about to say a few words to comfort his wife, telling her not to worry and to go to sleep, since they had business to do tomorrow, when Tangguo roared like a shrew before he could even speak.
"Masked men, it's you again! You're asking for death! I'll kill you all! If I don't wipe you all out today, I'm not Candy!" Coincidentally, Candy had drunk too much water that night and had to get up in the middle of the night. Just as she got out of bed, she heard a noise outside.
Martial arts practitioners always have excellent hearing, and Candy is a simple-minded person with no ulterior motives. In the quiet night, she takes in all the sounds around her.
Although the sound was very faint, she could still clearly tell that it was the sound of someone landing. The person who came was quite skilled, which made her quickly associate it with the masked man in black.
Candy gets angry just thinking about the masked men in black. No matter how many she kills, they never seem to be gone. She's killed so many men in black before, so why are there still some left?
Without saying anything, just kill. Candy picked up the treasured sword hanging on the wall. This treasured sword was given to her by Xingxing. Xiaoxiao and Jingjing also have one. Knowing kung fu is not enough. Having a good weapon is more powerful. Otherwise, it is easy to be at a disadvantage in a fight.
Candy drew her sword and stood at the door, letting out a loud shout so everyone in the mansion could hear her. Then she engaged the man in black in a fierce battle.
The four guards in the mansion also rushed over upon hearing the commotion and joined forces with Candy to fight off the men in black.
Jingjing and Xiaoxiao quickly ran to the next room, the former on guard and the latter carrying Chen Yuting, and then they ran together to Chen Shunping and Zhao Guizhi's bedroom.
Although Chen Shunping and Zhao Guizhi did not know martial arts, they kept weapons in the room, including a large knife and an axe. Chen Shunping had always been in poor health, and Zhao Guizhi was worried about him, so she held the knife and stood in front of him to protect him.
"Don't move forward. Hold onto your axe for self-defense. What are you doing causing trouble?" Chen Shunping tried to pull her behind him, but Zhao Guizhi pushed him away forcefully, preventing him from moving forward.
"I'm your husband, it's my job to protect you." Chen Shunping was furious with her, but because he was weak, he couldn't muster much strength and was temporarily overpowered by his wife.
At this moment, Jingjing and Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and entered their room. Upon seeing this, Zhao Guizhi quickly reached out to take Yuting. After Xiaoxiao handed him over to her, she and Jingjing stood guard in front of them.
"Is Yuting afraid?" Zhao Guizhi asked softly, holding her son with heartache.
“Don’t be afraid, Yu Ting. I have medicine. Look at all this medicine powder. It was given to me by Brother Wu Fu.”
Oh right, before Wu Fu left, he left them a lot of anesthetic powder and poison powder. Zhao Guizhi slapped her forehead; she was so flustered that she had completely forgotten.
Zhao Guizhi quickly took out more than a dozen packets of medicine powder from the drawer and stuffed them into Jingjing's hand. "Jingjing, go out and help. Use these medicines to get things done quickly. After that, we need to go to the Li family's place to check. Hopefully, nothing bad has happened there."
"Okay, leave it to me." Jingjing didn't say much, and left with more than a dozen packets of medicine powder.
Fifteen minutes later, the fighting outside stopped, leaving only Candy still howling, "Even if they faint, it won't work, we have to kill them all."
Candy finished off all the men in black who had been drugged and unconscious, making sure they were all dead before she felt at ease.
Candy was skilled in martial arts and naturally strong, so she was unharmed, but two guards were injured, one of whom was seriously wounded. Zhao Guizhi quickly asked Jingjing to help bandage him. There was some wound medicine at home, so they first used it to stop the bleeding of the seriously injured guard.
"Xia Shan, you stay and look after Xia Tian. Take him to see a doctor when it's light. Jiang Hui, go to the yamen to report to the authorities immediately. The rest of you, come with us to the Li family." Zhao Guizhi had a premonition that Li Quan's family was probably in danger as well, and the masked men must have gone to the Li family as well.
Zhao Guizhi was right; a group of men in black did indeed come to the Li family. Yokoyama Ichiro thought the Li family had a large population, so he brought ten more people with him, and he himself also went to the Li family.
Although the Li family also had four guards, Yokoyama Ichiro's martial arts skills were too high, and the four guards were quickly taken down and killed without anyone noticing.
Because of the trouble caused by Guiguxi last time, Li Quan and Zhong Daya have become more cautious. Ever since they discovered that Japanese pirates were approaching them, they have become very suspicious and are extremely cautious, both day and night. Li Quan has always been a light sleeper and loves to worry.
When the Japanese pirates came to the Li family tonight, it was Li Quan who discovered them. He couldn't sleep and was tossing and turning in bed. When he turned to look outside again, he suddenly noticed a shadowy figure moving on the window paper.
He froze, too afraid to turn over, and stared wide-eyed outside. Then he saw several dark figures flash by. This time, there was no doubt that a thief had indeed broken in.
He woke Zhong Daya up, covered her mouth to prevent her from making a sound, and pointed outside in the darkness by the moonlight shining in from outside, whispering, "There are thieves outside, quite a few of them."
Zhong Daya felt a chill run through her body and shivered for a while before hurriedly reaching under her pillow for a large bag of medicinal powder. She hadn't expected that the medicinal powder Wufu had given her would come in handy so soon.
