The door opened silently, and at the same time, a light figure flashed in from outside the yard.
The man glanced at the person who had tiptoed into the main room, then glanced around, his gaze fixed on the east room. He leaped and landed outside the east room as light as a flying catkin.
The east room was unlocked, and the man thrust his sharp knife into the crack of the door when it flew open. Aside from a single light on the corridor, all the rooms were dark, yet their vision was not affected at all.
The hunchback sneaked into the main room, looked around the outer room, and dodged the obstacles indoors with extraordinary agility while jumping, and then lifted the door curtain of the inner room with a sharp knife.
In the inner room, besides a chest of drawers and several niches, there was a small bed and a couch, each with a person sleeping on it. The hunchback seemed a little surprised, but quickly tiptoed to the bed and slashed the sharp knife at the neck of the person on the bed.
The sharp blade touched the neck of the person on the bed, and the hunchback was startled.
A soft laugh echoed behind him, and the room suddenly brightened. Jane Ning, holding an energy-saving lamp, smiled and looked at him through the door curtain, teasing, "Old beggar, it seems my medicine is very effective. You can walk freely so quickly. Shouldn't you pay me a high consultation fee?"
"Hehe." He laughed sinisterly, "Of course you should pay. Here it is for you!"
He moved like the wind, and rushed towards Jian Ning with a sharp blade in his hand.
Unfortunately, it was a failure.
Another chuckle sounded behind him. He turned around quickly and saw Jane Ning standing in front of the small bed with a energy-saving lamp in her hand.
"That's too insincere. Is this how you treat the person who treated you?" Jian Ning smiled. "You deserve to have a hunchback. You can only be a beggar with no food to eat."
"As fast as a ghost, you are worthy of being the daughter of a general. Let's see if you can beat Brother Xia's move." Before he finished speaking, he pounced on Jian Ning again with an incredible speed, and his attack was really quick, accurate and ruthless!
Unfortunately, he was still disappointed. Just as he was filled with horror, Jian Ning started laughing again. He turned around and saw Jian Ning standing by the bed, smiling like a flower, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips.
"Yes, you're lucky." He took a step forward. "But I wonder if your daughter will be half as lucky as you."
Jian Ning's expression turned stern: "Dare to touch my daughter, die!"
"Hehe, that depends on whether you have the ability! To be honest, your family is pretty good, but someone is offering a high price to take your mother and son's lives. If you want revenge, go and ask for your father's subordinate General Geng's life. Not letting you and your son become fools is already the greatest kindness our Fish and Shrimp Assassin Duo can show!"
As he spoke, he didn't stop and rushed to Jian Ning. He launched one move after another, his moves as fast as lightning. Holding a sharp blade, he attacked Jian Ning more than a dozen times in the blink of an eye.
He was fast, but Jian Ning was even faster. She countered his moves, neutralizing all his power while still chatting and laughing. "I thought I was a skilled killer, but it turns out you're just a pair of worthless fish. You, a worthless shrimp, really think you can capture my daughter with just a worthless fish? You're dreaming!"
"What did you do to Yumei?" There was a fierce murderous look in his eyes. Although he had a hunched back and a slight limp, he was like a big shrimp swimming in the water, rolling and jumping in the narrow space with ease.
"Your fish sister has been buried in the snake's belly. How about I send you to keep her company?" As soon as Jian Ning finished speaking, an XL appeared in his hand. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Ding Youtian was ejected after waking up from Baicaojian, and happened to bump into the hands of the shrimp man of the assassin duo.
Although he couldn't understand why he suddenly appeared, the hostage delivered to his door made Xia Nan overjoyed. He knew that if Yu Mei wanted to succeed, she would have come to join forces with him long ago. He grabbed Ding Youtian, holding the sharp knife to his back, and leaned over to shout at Jian Ning, "If you want your man's life, release Yu Mei immediately, otherwise don't blame me for killing him with a knife!"
The scene was a bit funny. He was really hunchbacked and just as tall as Ding Youtian's chest, but Jian Ning was still able to use him to threaten him.
But it seems he miscalculated.
With a "puff" sound, Jian Ningle bent over.
"If you touch my daughter, I will be unhappy, and if I am unhappy, I will kill you! As for my man, you have seen that we have been sleeping on separate beds for a long time. You can kill him at will, and I will be more than happy to do so."
What does it mean that her man can be killed at will?
I don’t know what Brother Xia thought when he heard this, but Ding Youtian was unhappy about it. Even though he didn’t understand the situation yet, he didn’t understand how he could be held hostage while sleeping peacefully in bed.
However, for him, who is a life-saving person, saving his life is the most important thing, and now is not the time to argue with Jian Ning.
"Hey, big brother Hunchback." He tilted his head and glanced at Brother Xia who was hiding behind him. "How about we make a deal? You help me deal with this fierce woman. How much silver do you want? I will sell my children to raise the money for you. How about it?"
"That's too much! What do you mean by selling children? Why don't you try selling one? I'll smash your head!" Jian Ning stared at Ding Youtian with a smile.
"If I'm not selling my children, then I'm selling you. If someone wants you, you shrew, I'll give you away for free, not asking for a penny." Then, Ding Youtian turned his head and said to Brother Xia, "See? What kind of woman is always fighting and killing? Keeping a shrew like that is no use for making a living. Would you like to seriously consider my suggestion? Let's work together for a win-win situation?"
Jian Ning sneered, "I'm the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Pingnan, and you dare call me a shrew? You're just a peasant from the countryside, not even a student yet. How dare such a useless man come and talk to me, and even want to divorce me? Dream on!"
The two of them started arguing back and forth, which made Brother Xia very depressed. He was also worried about Sister Yu's life and death. He roared in frustration: "Shut up, everyone! Have you two forgotten that I am an assassin, an assassin who wants to kill you! I am not a judge who is here to mediate your marital conflict!"
"Assassins are human too. Does that mean they can't judge right and uphold justice? You're an outsider, so you'll be more objective and fair. So, you judge for yourself. An uneducated peasant married the Prince of Pingnan's legitimate daughter, and he even wants to divorce me. Tell me, is there anyone in the world who's so ungrateful?"
Her rapid-fire barrage of questions left Xia Ge bewildered. But then he realized her words made sense. Assassins were human beings, too, and they could judge for what was right. A farmer marrying the daughter of the Prince of Pingnan was truly marrying above his station. He didn't know how to cherish her, and instead wanted to divorce her. He seemed rather foolish.
Thinking of this, he felt a little sympathy for Jane Ning.
Jian Ning seemed to be getting angrier and angrier as she glared at Ding Youtian, wishing she could eat him. She pointed at his nose and cursed as she rushed over to him, "I gave birth to your children. Even if I didn't have any credit, I still worked hard, right? How did I become a shrew? Did you hook up with that vixen outside, so you look down on me, right?"
"I think it's probably true. He wants to encourage me..." Brother Xia said as he glanced at Ding Youtian.
It happened in a flash. The moment he leaned over to look at Ding Youtian, Jian Ning took action.
