Chapter 217: Catching a Turtle in a Jar



"Handsome man?"

Ibuprofen swiped his tongue across his lower lip, then moved forward, called out tentatively, and reached out to try to grab the other person.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound rang out in the silent courtyard. It was the sound of a wooden stick hitting a hand.

"Ouch!"

Ibuprofen stretched out her right hand, but was suddenly hit hard by the opponent. The pain on the back of her hand made her quickly retract her hand.

Zuo An, who was leaning against the wall by the door, twitched his lips slightly. The looks of some attentive female customers at Jing Hua Yuan snacks had already made him speechless. He never expected that the bandits who came to rob things were even more outrageous.

As a bandit, he was so unprofessional that he didn't think about robbing the property, but was molesting him. The women in this country of female supremacy are really... as fierce as tigers!

Ibuprofen is tall and strong, with a very sturdy build. When facing her, Zuo An, who is 180 cm tall, is actually almost a head shorter than her.

"Haha, I didn't expect the handsome guy to have such a strong personality, but I like it!"

Ibuprofen prides herself on being strong, and when she sees a handsome man who knows how to beat people, she is not annoyed. Instead, it perversely arouses her inner desire to conquer, and she becomes more and more excited.

"Oh……"

"You are such a fool! You actually dare to tease me, your uncle!"

The night was as dark as ink, but Zuo An's bright eyes were as sharp as a vulture's, and his stern face was stained with a hint of anger because of Ibuprofen's words.

That morning, at the shop in Yunshui Town, Zuo An overheard Yuan Qiu and Xia Houyu whispering to each other about abducting someone from the Hua family. If the abduction failed, they would recruit bandits to destroy the Hua family with force. When Hua Qingcheng's two husbands were desperate, Xia Houyu would then play the good guy, forcing them to follow her to the capital.

What Yuan Qiu and Zuo An didn't know was that Xiahou Yu wanted to take Mu Lige and Han Yichen away, but her ultimate goal was actually Hua Qingcheng.

Xiahou Yu wanted to take the opportunity of presenting Hua Qingcheng to the emperor as a cook to openly place her in the palace as a spy for the Xiahou Mansion. As for the handsome men, they were just harvested along the way.

After Yuan Qiu and Xia Houyu left, Zuo An quickly returned to Huaqiao Village. In a matter of seconds, he incited the villagers to gather around the Hua residence at the end of the village, and invited the village head, Hua Sufen, and the clan leader, Hua Zhengfeng, to join him. In this way, Zuo An, without even needing to fight, drove away Yuan Qiu, Xia Houyu, and the others who had ulterior motives on Mu Lige's behalf.

Xiahou Yu had tried "first courtesy" but failed to achieve his goal. So, under Yuan Qiu's introduction, he selected the bandits headed by Ibuprofen from Gaimao Mountain in Fuyun County, and asked Yuan Qiu to go to the bandit camp in person to negotiate with them, intending to provide the Hua family with another "rear soldier".

Zuo An felt that he must have lost his mind, so he rushed back to Huaqiao Village from the shop in Yunshui Town. One moment he was busy helping Mu Lige to drive people away, and the next moment he was diligently following Xia Hou Yu and Yuan Qiu to find out their plans, and then went back to tell Mu Lige so that they could prepare in advance.

No! When Hua Qingcheng comes back, I must ask her for more benefits. I can't just do other work for her as a bodyguard for nothing. Zuo An felt more and more frustrated the more he thought about it. After he finished making plans for himself in his mind, he started to perform his job as Mu Lige's bodyguard again.

"My little beauty, just obey me!"

There was a lustful glint in Ibuprofen's eyes, but it was all covered by the dark night. When she stretched out her claws towards Zuo An again, intending to take him by force, her lower body was suddenly hit by a shadowless kick from Zuo An.

Although Zuo An's figure is not as tall and strong as Ibuprofen, he is agile, and his movements are always fast, accurate, and fierce, and his attacks are brutal.

Ibuprofen felt a sudden sharp pain in his leg and shook it. He put away his teasing expression and looked warily at Zuo'an, who was standing by the wall with his arms crossed.

"Not bad, you're quite capable! You're qualified to be my Ibuprofen's bride-to-be!"

Ibuprofen gently wiped the tip of her nose with her right thumb and bit her lower lip slightly with her teeth until her mouth was filled with a fishy taste. When she looked towards the left bank, her eyes were full of playfulness and a bloodthirsty madness.

"Oh……"

"How shameless!"

Zuo An twirled the short stick in his hand, his lips twitching slightly. If he wasn't afraid of dirtying the house, he would have used his Frost Sword to kill the woman in front of him, along with the group of idiots outside, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

However, when he thought of Mu Lige's instructions and the structural diagram of the new crossbow he gave him, Zuo An suppressed the urge to slit the other party's throat with a sword and continued to deal with Ibuprofen.

In the master bedroom of the backyard suite, Mu Lige lay on the comfortable big bed that still retained the scent of Hua Qingcheng, and rested with his eyes closed, but his ears were always paying attention to the movements in the front yard and outside the house.

Hearing the conversation between Ibuprofen and Zuo An, Mu Lige smiled slightly. He hadn't expected Zuo An to be more patient than he had thought. No wonder he became the number one killer of Luoshamen.

It seemed that the bodyguard Hua Qingcheng had found for him was actually quite useful. If Zuo An hadn't informed Yuan Qiu and Xia Houyu of their plot in advance, with him now nearly four months pregnant, fighting nearly two hundred bandits alongside his third brother would have been a struggle. Now, he only had to prepare the jar and wait for the turtle to crawl in.

In the side-lying position, Han Yichen was lying on the bed with his eyes open, playing with his hair. Listening to the noise outside, the corners of his lips were raised high, and his pair of charming eyes were evil and alluring.

In the afternoon, the eldest brother ordered a large, deep pit to be dug at the gate, with only some thin bamboo strips laid across it and covered with dry straw. To confuse anyone who came, the entire front of the flower house was covered with dry straw.

Long before Ibuprofen and the others arrived, Han Yichen had already sprinkled a colorless, odorless powder over the pit. Just as he predicted, when the bandits stepped on the trap and fell, the potent drug in the straw took effect on them. They didn't even have time to scream before they fainted and fell into the pit.

None of the bandits who tried to climb over the wall succeeded because Hua Qingcheng had specially ordered broken glass to be inserted high up on the wall when the house was built, and then firmly fixed with cement. Some of them cut their hands, some got pierced their feet, and all of them returned empty-handed.

As for Erfeng and the others' inability to break down the door, it was because Mu Lige had set up a formation at the entrance. They seemed to be banging against the door, but in reality, they were banging against the wall. Besides the pain, the door, of course, didn't budge.

However, this wasn't the worst. When Ibuprofen led his men to rob Hua's house, a group of people also set their sights on her lair in Gaimao Mountain, Fuyun County. They planned to wipe out her lair...
