After listening for a while, Xique finally understood the gist of it: it turned out that she had indeed been knocked unconscious and kidnapped in the street. But for some reason, the person who knocked her unconscious then handed her over to this group of people, who used her to blackmail her young lady and son-in-law.
These people are quite capable.
Although they didn't tie her up, they left two people guarding the door.
Xi Que silently estimated that with her current strength, defeating those two guys at the door would be no problem, but it would be difficult to avoid alerting the dozens of people over there.
The chances of escaping from these dozens of people are less than 20%.
Just then, the commotion over there suddenly grew louder.
Zhuo Cong, preoccupied with the young beauty, patiently drank and joked with his brothers for a few moments before rushing over amidst their playful banter.
The magpie felt nervous, clenching her fists and repeatedly reassuring herself, "Miss said that one should remain calm in the face of trouble; fight if you can win, run if you can't, and if you can't run, outsmart your opponent...outsmart your opponent..."
The footsteps outside the door grew closer, and Xique's heartbeat quickened.
Suddenly, the magpie's gaze fell on the pair of gleaming, imposing brass hammers in the room.
The magpie leaped up and grabbed the pair of bronze hammers with both hands.
Zhuo Cong pushed open the door and saw the delicate and beautiful woman inside, holding his weapon in both hands, weighing its weight.
"Wow, they're quite heavy!" Xi Que exclaimed, seemingly quite fond of the pair of copper hammers.
Others may not know the weight of these copper hammers, but Zhuo Cong knows them very well.
These two copper hammers weigh a total of 300 jin (150 kg), with each hammer weighing 150 jin (75 kg)!
For an ordinary woman, it would be difficult to even lift them up, let alone carry them.
But the girl named Xique in front of them handled her as if she were carrying a pair of light toys, which showed that she was no ordinary girl.
Zhuo Cong didn't actually like those delicate women; he found them uninteresting. But when he saw Xi Que, who, despite her beauty, was a woman of great strength and boldness, his every move exuded confidence and generosity, and he immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards her.
"That's my weapon," Zhuo Cong said, his tone slightly ingratiating.
The magpie looked up at the sound, and instead of being afraid, it showed a hint of surprise and joy: "How could it be...it's you!"
"Does the young lady know me?" Zhuo Cong was somewhat surprised, yet also secretly pleased.
The magpie, somewhat "shyly," twirled the hammer in her hand, her eyes slightly lowered and her face beaming with joy, and said, "Brother, you might not believe it, but I actually met you in my dreams a long time ago; I thought you were just a person in the dream world, but I never expected... I never expected to actually meet you in person today!"
"You met me in a dream?" Zhuo Cong found it unbelievable, but looking at the young woman in front of him, she didn't seem to be faking it: "You really met me in a dream?"
“I often see my elder brother practicing martial arts in my dreams. He wields a pair of hammers with great skill and is very famous in the martial arts world.” As Xi Que spoke, she picked up the hammer in her hand and looked at it with “love”, her tone becoming more and more “shy”: “That’s why I was so surprised and so… fond of these hammers when I woke up just now.”
After saying all that mushy stuff, Xique was almost sick of it.
I couldn't help but secretly admire her: Miss is truly amazing!
Acting is a skill that not just anyone can do well!
Zhuo Cong was already in his thirties. Although he had been to brothels before, this was the first time he had ever been confessed to by a respectable young woman with such "genuine admiration."
