Hearing the commotion outside, Shenxi frowned.
The place where she was was heavily guarded, so how could it have become noisy?
"Commander, please do us justice!"
"Commander, if you don't stand up for us, we won't be able to survive!"
Interspersed with the guards' shouts: "Is this a place for your noise? Get out of here at once!"
"Just inform us that there has been unrest in Taoyuan Township. A group of bandits has looted ten villages, and the township head has been killed in battle."
What? Shen Xi was quite surprised.
Taoyuan Township, as a model township, is the largest in scale and the best in planning.
Bandits have actually looted the place.
The guards were in a difficult position. Their commander was usually very busy, and now that he was resting, they had to report to him, which would disturb his rest.
They cannot make such a big decision without informing the authorities.
Just then, the head guard, Zheng Ankang, arrived.
His face was grim. How did these people manage to get here? How did his guards defend them?
If the defenses are similar to those of a county town, there will be no outsiders within five miles of the leader's residence.
The guards present all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a word.
They were newly transferred soldiers, but there were still not enough men. In order to prevent any oversights, they could only defend the residence inside and out, surrounding the residence arranged by the town mayor in layers.
The residence was small; in a town that was just beginning to develop, finding such a place for Chenxi was already Zheng Hongfang's greatest effort.
It was precisely because the residence was small and the number of guards insufficient that these ordinary people were able to get close to the leader's residence.
What Zheng Ankang couldn't understand was that even though most of the guards were protecting the leader's residence, there were also guards acting as sentries on the outer perimeter. Why didn't the sentries issue any warnings?
With all this commotion, the leader will surely wake up.
Just then, several people were thrown out from the crowd of people.
Zheng Ankang took a closer look and gasped.
These people turned out to be a few guards and sentries on the outer perimeter.
Zheng Ankang's face was solemn. In the dark night, a guard held a torch, which illuminated his gloomy face.
Zheng Ankang examined the guards and found that they had only been knocked unconscious by acupressure, and had no injuries. It seemed that the other side had a master.
He gently pushed open the acupoints that had been sealed on the guards, and they slowly woke up. They looked at the situation in front of them and were stunned.
"Boss, what's going on?"
They were doing their duty when they suddenly felt a numbness behind them, and then they knew nothing more.
Judging from their expressions, Zheng Ankang knew that they knew nothing.
"Who was the hero who made this move? And what was their intention?"
Zheng Ankang had traveled the martial arts world and had come into contact with many people in the martial arts world during his career as a bodyguard. This method was obviously done by someone in the martial arts world.
No one in the crowd answered.
Zheng Ankang realized something was wrong and immediately ordered his men to surround the dozens of civilians. Then, he hurriedly led a dozen guards to Chenxi's residence.
At this moment, Chenxi cried out in distress.
Hearing the noise outside, she quickly got dressed and went out to see what was going on.
As soon as she stepped into the outer room, the perceptive Chenxi sensed someone was there.
If they were guards, they wouldn't be in the outer room; they would be outside protecting the house. The maid Zheng Hongfang had arranged was in the outer room, but there was still no movement from her.
Besides, it was pitch black outside.
Chenxi slowed her pace and moved to a new position.
Unless the other party is a master, they won't be able to sense her location.
Suddenly, Chenxi felt a gust of wind rushing towards him.
The opponent made their move; their palm technique was incredibly fast.
Chenxi moved quickly to dodge.
Xing Xiuyan, who followed her out, was still in a daze. Why was it so dark outside? Where was the commander?
She quickly shrank back, picked up the lampstand, and came out again.
Upon seeing the two fighting on the spot, Xing Xiuyan was immediately stunned.
Such a situation has never occurred since I started following the leader. Where did this person come from?
However, Xing Xiuyan was no longer the little girl who could be bullied at will. She quickly put down the lampstand and directly used the martial arts that the commander had taught her to join the battle.
The opponent did not use a killing move, yet she remained calm and composed while dealing with Chen Xi and the other two, which shows that her kung fu is extremely high.
Seeing that the fight had gone on for several rounds and the guards outside were still silent, Shenxi knew that the guards outside had probably been dealt with by this person.
Shenxi was very protective of her subordinates and cared deeply about the safety of her guards.
"Where are my guards?"
The newcomer gave a cold laugh: "You won't die."
Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiuyan, there's no need to fight anymore. This person isn't here to kill me."
"Isn't that right, hero?"
The newcomer stopped his attack, sat down gently, poured himself a glass of water, and took a few sips.
"Commander Shen, please have a seat!"
Shenxi first went to check on the maid who was lying on the table; she had simply fallen asleep and was otherwise unharmed.
Xing Xiuyan helped the maid lie down on the bed next to her, and then she sat down.
"Great hero, what brings you here?"
Looking at the other woman's delicate face, Shenxi was surprised that such a young woman possessed such high martial arts skills.
The woman was quite satisfied with Shen Xi's two calls of "hero," and finally introduced herself: "My name is Leng Aofu. Don't be fooled by my youthful appearance; what is my real age?"
Leng Aofu paused, a hint of wickedness in her smile: "There's no need to tell you, a junior."
Holy crap!
Shenxi wanted to punch her.
If you can beat them up.
She had never heard of Leng Aofu.
Just as she was about to ask another question, Leng Aofu smiled and said, "Your head guard has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Ankang entered.
At this moment, he no longer had any thought about not being able to enter the leader's house.
The guards outside were lying all over the ground; he was already terrified.
Fortunately, none of them were in life-threatening danger.
Upon entering the room, he was surprised to find the leader sitting opposite a very pretty woman.
"Commander, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"Everyone else can leave, but Ankang can stay."
Zheng Ankang looked at everything before him with suspicion, but obediently let his men leave and also woke up the guards who were lying down.
Zheng Ankang stood beside Chen Xi, looked Leng Aofu up and down, but said nothing.
Leng Aofu laughed: "Xiao Kang, don't you recognize me?"
Zheng Ankang stopped scrutinizing her and said coldly, "It's been many years, and Aunt Leng looks even younger."
Leng Aofu didn't care about Zheng Ankang's coldness, but she was very happy to hear Zheng Ankang say that she was young.
"Xiao Kang can also tell that Auntie looks younger, haha. I said I look younger, but your deadbeat uncle said I was dreaming."
Zheng Ankang rubbed his arm unconsciously; if he continued, he would get goosebumps.
Shenxi sized up Zheng Ankang and Leng Aofu. The two had nothing in common, and their surnames were different. She guessed they were not related.
"Ankang, aren't you going to give me a proper introduction?"
