The Liang Kingdom envoys hiding behind the wall saw Chuan Wen enter a large house. The dark-skinned middle-aged man became a little worried. "That girl seems to be of some status. Will kidnapping her cause any trouble?"
The young man who bought the sleeping incense said, "What trouble could she possibly cause? Once she becomes our Crown Prince's consort, won't she side with us?"
The old man at the head nodded, and then the group squatted outside the Changxing Marquis's residence, where they remained all night.
The next morning, the group squatted far away against the wall, their sleeves tucked in, sniffling from the cold.
"Let's eat something. We've been on guard all night, and we're exhausted and hungry."
The youngest among them couldn't take it the most, and the old man gave him an annoyed look, "You can't even handle this? No wonder the women were snatched away by those savages!"
Even so, the old man still took out his purse, counted out a few copper coins, and gave them to the young man to buy some sesame cakes.
The young man happily bought some sesame cakes with his copper coins, and the group ate them while waiting for the girl from yesterday to leave.
However, instead of the little girl from yesterday, we met another beautiful young woman.
As Chuanyu stepped out of the mansion, she saw the group of people from Xiaoliang Kingdom. She didn't know their identities, but seeing that they were dressed in rags and huddled in a corner eating flatbread, she assumed they were foreign merchants who had fallen on hard times. She went over and placed a tael of silver on the floor in front of them, sighed, and said, "Go buy some food."
Watching Chuan Yu's departing figure, the group remained stunned for a long time. She was beautiful, had a gentle voice, and most importantly, a kind heart; she must be a good person.
“My lord, although she looks a little older than our Crown Prince, I think she is more suitable to be our Crown Prince’s consort.”
The dark-skinned middle-aged man silently reached out and put the one or two taels of silver into his pocket, but the sharp-eyed old man snatched it away and put it into his own money bag, then said, "I also think she is more suitable. Although the young girl yesterday was also very pretty, she is deaf, so she is not as good as this one."
The old man beckoned a few people to follow the beautiful figure. After following her for several streets, they discovered that the girl had entered a small alley. Overjoyed, they followed closely behind.
"Girl! Girl!"
As Chuan Yu was walking, she heard an old man's voice behind her. She turned around and saw an elderly man with gray hair sitting on the ground, clutching his ankle and groaning in pain. Judging from his appearance, he was the same man she had seen at her doorstep earlier.
This is a common trick they use when sacking people. They first have an elderly person or a child gain sympathy, and then when the person comes over, they take advantage of the situation and sack them from behind.
"Miss, I accidentally twisted my ankle, could you come and help me up?"
The old man was a good actor; he tried to stand up several times while holding onto his foot because of the pain, but he fell down each time.
Chuanyu didn't think much of it and quickly came over to help the old man. "Grandpa, what brings you here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gust of air rise up behind him. Chuan Yu dodged to the side and then delivered a spinning kick, hitting the man behind him squarely in the lower back. The man fell stiffly to the ground, rolling around and howling in pain.
The old man gasped in shock, but he couldn't care less now. He gave a signal to the people lying in ambush outside the alley, and they filed in, blocking the entrance to the alley. That way, the beautiful girl wouldn't be able to escape.
If she wanted to escape the alley, she had to defeat them all. They didn't think this thin, harmless girl could possibly beat them!
Upon seeing this, Chuanyu remembered that when she left home that morning, her younger sister Wen had advised her to take two days off, saying that there were many people taking photos of women recently. Had she run into some women taking photos of women?!
Chuan Yu panicked a little, but after thinking about the sledgehammer she had hidden under the bed, the sandbag she had stuffed in the closet, and the boxing techniques she practiced every day, she quickly calmed down and even felt a little excited. She had always practiced by hitting sandbags before, and had never hit a real person before.
The old man's eyes flashed, and he jumped up, trying to sneak up on Chuan Yu from behind. However, Chuan Yu reacted quickly, turning around and throwing a punch.
The old man covered his mouth and nose and took several steps back before stopping. When he looked down, he saw that his hands were covered in blood, and there was a big tooth in the blood!
"My...my teeth!"
The old man didn't have many teeth to begin with, relying entirely on his three or four remaining molars to eat. Now, he had lost one of them, and large tears began to fall.
Chuan Yu felt quite guilty and hurriedly apologized. However, the old man took advantage of Chuan Yu's apology to try to sneak up on him again, and another tooth of his was knocked out.
"Grandpa, please, please don't always attack me from behind! I... I'm starting to lose control..."
Chuanyu looked at the lifeless old man, then at her own fist, and almost cried. How could she... how could she hit an old man... But she really didn't mean to, it was just a conditioned reflex.
"You...how can you have so much strength?!"
With a bitter face and tears streaming down his face, the old man asked his question: This girl seemed so harmless, how come she was even more fierce than the women in his area!
Ah...this...Chuanyu felt apologetic and a little embarrassed by the praise, "My mother rarely lets me go out, so when I'm at home with nothing to do, I just play with a big iron sledgehammer..."
A huge, massive iron sledgehammer!
Not only the old man, but also the people at the alley entrance were stunned. They remembered that the women of the Great Jin Dynasty were all confined at home doing needlework.
"There's also hitting the sandbag and practicing boxing."
Chuan Yu spoke with a hint of pride, while the old man and the others felt a little uneasy; they had met their match today.
