The two had planned to rest at the only inn, but little did they know that despite their caution, they were still being watched by this group of uninvited guests.
Before this person entered, Qi Guze decisively extinguished the candle.
At this moment, the first round of attacks by the two had ended.
This time, neither of them hurt the other.
However, they tested the other party's martial arts skills. Given their current injured bodies, their skills were greatly diminished, making it extremely difficult to do anything to them.
The second round of attacks had just begun when Tie Xiong was injured again. Qi Guze was about to save Tie Xiong when he was kicked in the chest. Qi Guze groaned and was launched like a grenade, his back slamming against the wall with a thud.
The man, wielding the ghost-head knife, flew out, looking ferocious and menacing, clearly intending to cut Qi Guze in two.
At this critical moment, Tie Xiong cursed and charged forward, and the two engaged in a fierce battle.
The house next door.
First, Jiang Qianqian, who was close to the wall, heard the sound and tugged at her mother's clothes in surprise.
Zhou Qionghua was awakened from her sleep and immediately slapped Jiang Qianqian across the face without saying a word. Jiang Qianqian's cheek swelled up instantly, and the five sharp finger marks were truly shocking.
Jiang Qianqian was frequently beaten, which had become a regular occurrence for her.
She was never spared from being beaten, whether her mother was in a bad mood or an exceptionally good mood.
She became Zhou Qionghua's punching bag, and Jiang Qianqian bit the blanket to swallow her tears.
In the corner, Ah Qi's eyes darted around, as if he were preoccupied with something.
In a daze, Ah Qi also heard the sounds of fighting next door.
But at such a young age, he has already been in the world for many years, and he can completely ignore these voices.
In any case, the best course of action is to remain silent, ignore the situation, and pretend to know nothing.
At that moment, Xu Yuehuai was dreaming.
In my dream, flocks of crows flew over the rooftops of the city and across the sky. These crows were chasing after me, and the dream felt so real.
So much so that she cowered in fear, and the dark flock of crows let out mournful cries, about to completely surround her. Just at this critical moment, Xu Yuehuai saw Qi Guze standing in the light.
"Brother Qi?"
She simply couldn't believe it.
But it still quickly flew to Qi Guze's side.
In the dream, Qi Guze was still dressed in white, as pure as snow, aloof from the world.
He had his back to Xu Yuehuai.
"Brother Qi, please take me away from here quickly!"
At this moment, she was extremely anxious. Seeing that Qi Guze was unmoved, she forcefully grabbed him. When Qi Guze turned around, his face was shrouded in a dark aura.
The black mist dissipated, revealing stark white bones and two unfathomable caves. Then, the skeleton let out a strange laugh.
"Ah, no! No...no!"
Xu Yuehuai screamed, and when she woke up, she was covered in sweat.
It's truly bizarre; how could I possibly have such a thrilling dream out of nowhere?
The next moment, Xu Yuehuai seemed to hear a sound from next door. Immediately, alert, she jumped up, grabbed the candlestick next to her, and extinguished the candle.
They immediately pulled out the candle, and the iron stick that held the candle in place became a weapon.
Seeing Xu Yuehuai preparing to act, Aqi scurried over and asked, "Shall we go over there?"
"When you see injustice on the road, draw your sword to help; when it's time to take action, do it!"
The two quickly arrived next door.
Ah Qi pushed open the door.
Inside the room, the assassin could also hear the hurried footsteps outside. He was immediately shocked and prepared to finish the job quickly, but Qi Guze was as swift as a rabbit, and he had no way to deal with him.
At this critical moment, the man came up with a wicked plan.
She lit the candle, threw it on the bed, and immediately prepared to flee.
Little did they know that Xu Yuehuai had just opened the door and immediately saw that the bed was on fire. Xu Yuehuai hurriedly told Aqi to put it out, while he himself grabbed a candlestick and started fighting with the man.
Qi Guze knew that Xu Yuehuai knew martial arts, but he did not know that Xu Yuehuai's martial arts were so powerful.
This man was exhausted and had just been attacked by Qi Guze, so he was already injured. He didn't dare to linger and tried to escape, but Xu Yuehuai always managed to force him back.
Qi Guze quickly joined the battle, and the two joined forces to capture the man in no time.
At that moment, Tie Xiong and A Qi approached, and A Qi had already lit the candle with a tinderbox.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Xu Yuehuai was surprised, "Why is it you guys?"
On the contrary, Qi Guze's expression seemed slightly calmer and more relaxed.
"It's true what they say, you never expect to meet someone like me here."
Xu Yuehuai sneered and pointed at the captured man, "What is this scoundrel trying to do?"
"This person was going to kill me, thank you." Qi Guze meant that he did not intend to let Xu Yuehuai get involved.
Just as Xu Yuehuai delivered the man over, there was a knocking sound on the door outside. Judging from the hoarse voice, it seemed to be the waiter.
"Hey," the waiter said, having come upstairs to investigate after hearing the commotion upstairs, "what are you doing?"
"What are we doing?" Xu Yuehuai leaned closer to Qi Guze, deliberately looking at him with seductive eyes, and then said in a coquettish voice, "What can a lone man and woman do?"
"you……"
The waiter scratched his head awkwardly and hurriedly left.
As the shadowy figures in the corridor gradually disappeared, Xu Yuehuai stepped back a little and playfully apologized, "It was an emergency, so I'm sorry."
"It's alright."
Tie Xiong knew that Qi Guze had obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.
Especially in matters of the heart, from the moment he witnessed his father betray his mother step by step, and how his father hurt his mother by being with another delicate girl, he began to form a standard for judging women in his heart...
The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to cause trouble.
Once these guys approached him, whether actively or indirectly, Qi Guze felt nauseous, and his instincts even triggered the urge to drug himself and vomit.
Therefore, over the years, although the current emperor has arranged many girls to please him, none of them have worked with Qi Guze.
Gradually, the Emperor also realized that Qi Guze was truly averse to women.
At this moment, Tie Xiong was speechless. He never expected that the prince, who was always a clean freak, would not show any disgust towards Xu Yuehuai, or even the slightest hint of disdain for this wild girl.
Seeing that the second brother had left, Xu Yuehuai took Ah Qi and prepared to leave as well.
Tie Xiong's eyes fell on A Qi's face, as if he was pondering something.
"Well..." Xu Yuehuai also felt bored, pointed to the next room, "Let's go."
"Thanks."
This sullen iceberg actually knew how to say thank you. She accepted the thanks and turned to leave.
At this moment, Qi Guze approached the captured man.
Tie Xiong was furious. Recently, he didn't know who had been targeting him and his servant, and they were being targeted by someone who was constantly setting traps to scheme against them.
Now, the two naturally want to investigate some secrets from this person.
