In the darkness, she felt Ye Lingyu hand her a wooden stick.
Yes, Ye Lingyu had placed two wooden sticks in their room a few days ago.
At that time, she even asked Ye Lingyu why she brought the stick into the house. Ye Lingyu laughed and said it was to kill rats, and she laughed at her for it.
Judging from Ye Lingyu's reaction today, it was as if she already knew that an uninvited guest would break into her home.
"My lady..."
"Ayan, I'll tell you the details once we're safe."
The three people who entered through the main door barged in first, and Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu were already exposed.
The person on the roof, who seemed to be scouting the spot, also jumped down from the roof at that moment.
Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu each took a wooden stick and swung it at the person who was attacking them.
Compared to an iron knife, a wooden stick is hardly a lethal weapon.
Fortunately, the stick wasn't too long, otherwise it wouldn't have been enough to wield it properly in their small room.
Several stools were knocked over, and an assassin was thrown into the air, landing on a table in the main room.
The teapot and teacups on the table were knocked over and smashed on the floor.
But the table was still intact; apart from the initial impact, Cheng Qingyan did not hear the table break.
It turns out that what they showed on TV was all fake, like someone slamming down on a table and the table and chairs breaking.
The table and chairs in their house are made of solid wood with a mortise and tenon joint structure. It's a bit of wishful thinking to think that someone could smash them with their back.
Because she lives far from the villagers' houses, even if she shouts loudly, no one will hear her and come to help.
This also provided her with a great opportunity to train.
I've never played against anyone at night before, so these guys are just in time.
Let's try out the moves that Shen Ziyu taught us first, and practice our moves on them.
Theory without practice is ultimately insufficient; she must accumulate experience through real-world experience.
She swung a wooden stick so fast it left afterimages, and the sound of it cutting through the air echoed in the darkness the moment she retracted it.
He pulled Ye Lingyu behind him to protect her, saying, "Wife, you rest first. I'll spar with them."
"If I can't win, my wife must come to my rescue!"
Ye Lingyu curled the corners of her lips in the darkness: "Then you'd better be careful not to get hurt."
"Okay!"
This time, Cheng Qingyan didn't fight these people with the same reckless brute force he used when fighting the soldiers before.
After receiving guidance from Shen Ziyu, he learned to use the opponent's force against them and to use skillful force to attack the enemy and neutralize their moves.
That's why it's said that Chinese martial arts are profound and extensive.
She received a little guidance and fought the five men without being at a disadvantage.
It's a pity about the vegetables in the yard; many of them were damaged when these people threw them.
However, their courtyard wall is really sturdy; these people tried to knock it down several times without success, so it's worth recommending.
Of the five assassins, two were kicked away by Cheng Qingyan, and the other three were either clutching their heads or stomachs.
Under the moonlight, the group looked at each other, and couldn't help but curse.
Wasn't he supposed to be a farmer? Are all country bumpkins this good at fighting these days?
They stopped advancing and remained in a defensive posture.
Cheng Qingyan twirled the wooden stick with one hand, making it spin rapidly, much like Sun Wukong wielding his golden cudgel.
Thinking of the Great Sage, Cheng Qingyan obediently gripped the stick in his hand again.
Pointing at the three people standing in front of him with his stick, he asked, "Why did you stop fighting? You didn't kill me, and you didn't hurt me. How can you explain this to your employer?"
One of the men in black, whose clothes were covered in dust even in the moonlight, looked quite disheveled.
He spat, but forgot that he was still wearing a mask, so the saliva was covered by the mask.
Disgusted, he immediately ripped off the mask and threw it away, which made Cheng Qingyan laugh to death.
"Idiot, hahaha, with your IQ, how could you be an assassin?"
He was already being mercilessly mocked by his opponents, but to his surprise, his teammates were also secretly laughing.
Ye Lingyu couldn't help but smile.
Were these people really hired by Ye Zongzhi? They all seem rather dim-witted.
If you can't beat them, then don't run away.
While spitting at the enemy, he also fed himself a mouthful of saliva. He really cares about the environment and doesn't shortchange himself.
The man took off his mask; he looked to be in his thirties.
With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he wasn't bad-looking, and even had a rather righteous air about him.
Enraged, he pointed his long sword at Cheng Qingyan and cursed, "You scoundrel! Release the young lady you kidnapped at once, or even if we are defeated and have to go back, we will not let you go!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? There's only my wife here, there aren't any other young ladies here."
The assassin asked Ye Lingyu, "Is that the second daughter of the Ye family up ahead?"
That's right. Ye Lingyu is the second oldest in the Ye family, so she is indeed the second daughter of the Ye family.
But she has already broken off her relationship with Ye Zongzhi, so she can no longer be considered the second wife of the Ye family, right?
Cheng Qingyan stood in front of Ye Lingyu and asked him, "What do you intend to do?"
The man snorted: "You have kidnapped the second daughter of the Ye family for many years. Today, we are here on the orders of our employer to teach you a lesson and take the second daughter of the Ye family away."
Ye Lingyu understood immediately. The fact that these people could order her to be taken back instead of killing her on the spot meant that they must have been hired by Ye Zongzhi.
If it were her older sister, Ye Lingxi, she would have given her an order to kill without mercy.
She hadn't seen Ye Lingxi for many years. The last time they met, Ye Lingxi wished she could kill her right then and there. How could she allow these people to bring her back to the Ye family?
However, Ye Zongzhi is also laughable.
He was the one who threw himself out in the first place, and now he's claiming that Cheng Qingyan tied him up. It's utterly ridiculous.
Ye Lingyu emerged from behind Cheng Qingyan and said to the assassin, "You've come to the wrong place. There is no Ye family second mistress here."
"My husband and I are deeply in love and got married. I have never been coerced by anyone. It is a blessing to have met and gotten to know my husband."
"Don't be fooled. If you leave now, my husband and I will not hold you responsible."
“But if you can’t distinguish right from wrong, I think my husband wouldn’t mind talking to you about it again.”
Reason with them? When has Cheng Qingyan ever reasoned with them?
Is it reasonable to be pinned to the ground and hit with a stick?
This way of reasoning is quite novel!
The man in the lead had seen the portrait Ye Zongzhi had shown him before. While it wasn't exactly identical to the woman before him, there was at least an 80% resemblance.
However, this person claims to be not a member of the Ye family, so there must be more to the story.
They are not the kind of shameless murderers who steal and kill. Although they accept assassination missions, they will not kill people for no reason.
