Chapter 309 The Swordsman of Huainan
Upon receiving the news, the people on the estate quickly welcomed the two masters inside.
All the estates in this suburban area were used by the owners to host banquets and entertain guests.
Therefore, all the necessary facilities were built.
The next morning, after the young master and young lady of the Liu family had their breakfast, a maid suddenly came to report to them.
"Young master, young lady, the people from the neighboring estate dropped their kite on our estate and said they would like to ask the master for help in finding it."
Miss Liu raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't the manor next door always empty? When did someone start living there?"
The maid shook her head: "I don't know."
Young Master Liu said, "Let the servants go and search. Those who live here are all officials' wives. Don't cause trouble for Father."
"yes."
After the maid left, Miss Liu looked unhappy.
“Father sent us to the manor without saying anything, and we don’t know how long we’ll stay. There’s not even anyone to play with. I also promised the third young lady of Prefect Li’s family that we would go to the opera together. Xia’er, could you send someone to tell the third young lady of Li that I can’t go to the opera?”
Suddenly, Miss Liu's eyes lit up. "Brother, Father only said that we should stay on the estate and not go out. Can I invite Miss Li to come to the estate for a visit?"
Young Master Liu frowned slightly. "Qinghe."
Liu Qinghe pouted, "Okay, okay."
Young Master Liu sighed, "I'll have the steward send a message to my father. If there's no problem, you can invite Miss Li to the estate to keep you company."
Liu Qinghe immediately beamed with joy, "Thank you, brother!"
The next day, Miss Li San was invited to the Liu family's estate.
Liu Qinghe, having nothing to do, waited in the courtyard.
Suddenly I caught a glimpse of a kite soaring high in the sky.
It must have been put there by someone from the neighboring village.
She looked at it for a while and suddenly felt that it looked familiar.
She had a kite like that when she was little.
Just as she was lost in thought, she heard the maid's voice coming from the doorway.
Miss Li San has arrived.
Liu Qinghe smiled as he went to greet his friend.
By the time I entered the courtyard, the kite had already disappeared.
She didn't pay much attention and welcomed Miss Li into the courtyard.
Liu Qinghe said with a hint of coquettishness, "It's all my father's fault. I didn't get to go to the opera with you."
Miss Li smiled mysteriously, "I'll give you a surprise later."
Liu Qinghe's eyes lit up. "What!"
Ms. Li clapped her hands, and a group of people walked over.
"I'll hire an opera troupe to entertain you."
Liu Qinghe immediately smiled, "You understand me best!"
Soon, the sound of drums filled Liu Qinghe's courtyard.
Yun Jin and Yun Que are playing shuttlecock in the neighboring yard.
Upon hearing the opera music, he suddenly exclaimed, "That priceless voice is truly something else!"
Although Miaotangchun was incredibly audacious, her singing was indeed quite good.
The difference between the two is like night and day.
Qin Jinzhi sat by the pond fishing for small shrimp.
Feiyan sat beside her, staring intently at the fishhook.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and asked, "Is everyone ready?"
Yun Jin tossed her hair back and said, "Your Highness, you can rest assured that I'll handle things!"
That night, the village was looted by bandits.
This season is not the peak season for entertaining guests, and not many people live in the village.
The Liu family's estate became a prime target for bandits.
The bandits gathered everyone in the village together.
After looting the manor, they even wanted to set it on fire and burn everyone to death!
Young Master Liu shielded Liu Qinghe behind him, shouting, "You audacious madmen! My father is the military governor of Lingnan! You dare to kill people on my Liu family's estate? Aren't you afraid of dying a horrible death?"
The bandit leader was very tall. "If I kill you all, no one will know!"
Liu Qinghe comforted the frightened Miss Li, saying, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
The bandits walked toward the crowd with torches in their hands.
Liu Qinghe's eyes did not have the innocent charm of a young girl.
She pointed behind Miss Li and asked, "What's that?"
Ms. Li was startled and turned around abruptly. Then, her vision went black and she fainted.
Liu Qinghe caught the unconscious Miss Li and handed her to a maid standing nearby.
Young Master Liu's eyes also turned cold. "Who sent you?"
The bandit leader laughed, "Are you scared out of your wits, kid? Who sent us? It was the God of Wealth who sent us."
Young Master Liu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Everyone in Lingnan knows that this suburb is inhabited by the families of officials. Ordinary bandits and robbers can't possibly come here to rob. Were you sent by people from the capital to kill my brother and me?"
Upon hearing this, the bandit leader laughed even more arrogantly, "The Crown Prince is indeed clever. In that case, we can't let you live! Attack!"
The men disguised as bandits all rushed towards the people in the village.
Young Master Liu and Liu Qinghe stepped forward and snapped the man's neck with a single hand.
The bandit leader's eyes turned serious. "The Crown Prince and the Princess actually possess such profound martial arts skills. They are truly hiding their abilities."
The two fought ruthlessly, each move potentially fatal.
Seeing his men die one after another at the hands of the two men, the bandit leader rushed over instantly.
This man's martial arts skills far surpass those of the henchmen.
He managed to fight the two siblings to a draw despite their combined attack.
Liu Qinghe turned sideways, pulled out the hairpin from his hair, and stabbed it into the man's shoulder.
At that moment, Young Master Liu pointed directly at his throat.
The man felt a little dizzy; there was medicine on the hairpin!
He retreated quickly, shouting, "Why aren't you making a move!"
Liu Qinghe glanced back and quickly turned around to stand back-to-back with his brother.
A person slowly emerged from the shadows.
The man was carrying a giant sword.
Young Master Liu's eyes were cold. "This is a knife from Huainan. You were sent by the Wei family."
The man was tall and dressed in all black, with his face covered by a black cloth, even his eyebrows were completely covered.
Young Master Liu and Liu Qinghe's expressions turned serious.
This person exudes a very dangerous aura.
Young Master Liu frowned. "Sister, be careful. If you are outmatched, escape back to the manor as soon as possible."
Liu Qinghe shook his head, "I won't abandon you!"
Young Master Liu gradually increased the pressure on his feet.
The man suddenly rushed over.
The giant sword whistled through the air, and Liu Qinghe was struck by the back of the blade, causing him to vomit blood.
Young Master Liu immediately shielded Liu Qinghe behind him.
The brother and sister drew their soft swords from their waists.
That person's move just now seemed like a test.
With a smile in his eyes, he attacked the brother and sister again.
Every move was deadly; the brother and sister collapsed, coughing up blood, after only twenty moves.
The giant sword swung through the air towards the brother and sister.
Just when the two thought they were doomed.
A sword came hurtling through the air.
The assassin raised his sword to block, but a beautiful figure pressed her feet onto the greatsword.
The assassin flipped the man upwards.
The figure hovered in mid-air on the assassin's shoulder.
The assassin grabbed her foot with one hand and threw her away.
The figure landed steadily on the rooftop.
Two women in white came from behind her and stabbed at the giant swordsman.
The giant sword and the blade collided, producing a buzzing sound.
The assassin was so shocked by the two men that he took a few steps back.
He gave the two a meaningful look, then turned and fled.
Liu Qinghe looked at the person on the roof; the red mole was very conspicuous in the moonlight.
All that could be heard was the woman's cold voice, "Kill him."
The assassin who was stabbed in the shoulder by Liu Qinghe immediately lost his head.
