Long Batian glanced at Liu Qiao'er with pride. His voice was the voice of a young man that she loved the most. His tone was decisive, firm and clear: "When the master is in danger, the protection device will be activated."
So that's how it is. Liu Qiaoer felt more and more that being rich was good. Even the space could protect her as she wished.
As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin shot another arrow at them. This time, Long Batian acted decisively. After catching the arrow, he threw it back with his backhand.
The assassin probably never thought that he would be killed in return. All he heard was a scream of "Ah".
Long Aotian and Liu Qiao'er were still hiding behind the tree. They scanned the surroundings with their radar and said, "Okay, there are no assassins around."
Long Aotian returned to the space.
Liu Qiaoer came to the assassin curiously and pulled off his mask.
It was impossible to tell where the assassin was from just by looking at his face. She found a badge and some purses, money bags and other things on the assassin's body.
Liu Qiaoer didn't care much and continued walking home happily.
Qin Yuanming, who was waiting for news at home, was shocked: "What? The person who assassinated that girl is dead?"
Qin Yuanming doubted the ability of his men after failing to assassinate a little maid.
"Did you find out her address, jerk? I want to meet her in person tonight."
It was just a small assassination and did not cause any damage to her, so Liu Qiaoer did not take it seriously.
I returned home happily and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
I boiled a big bucket of hot water and took a nice bath.
What Liu Qiaoer didn't know was that Lu Yunzheng and Qi Ze were already ready to go.
"Assassins have surrounded our yard." Aze, dressed in black, hid in the dark and drew out a long knife.
Lu Yunzheng was writing something. He quickly blew out the light, took out his sword, and hid behind the door.
"Are they from the Su family? They have actually found this place."
Qi Ze came out from the darkness, came to the wall of the yard, and jumped lightly onto the top of the wall.
Lu Yunzheng also came out of the house and followed the shadow to the wall.
Qi Ze looked carefully and said, "They are not members of the Su family. They have badges on their bodies. They should be guards of that family."
The Su family was upset because Liu Qiaoer accidentally killed Su Mingyu. Even though they moved away, they still offered a huge reward for killing Liu Qiaoer.
However, all the assassins who came forward were blocked by Lu Yunzheng.
Liu Qiaoer didn’t know either.
Suddenly, the other party attacked them. Qi Ze and all the guards in the yard ran out and fought off the attackers without Lu Yunzheng having to take any action.
Lu Yunzheng came to Liu Qiaoer's room, drew his sword and guarded it silently.
The entire yard was pitch black, with only Liu Qiaoer's room having a light on, making her an easy target for assassins.
The sound of splashing water could be heard from the house, accompanied by Liu Qiaoer's casual singing.
"When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky, but I wonder what year it is in the palace in heaven now..."
A magical situation happened.
One yard, two worlds.
Outside the house, there were flashes of swords and blows. The guards fought to the death, and each of their moves was as fast as lightning.
Inside the house, the lighting is soft, the atmosphere is charming, the years are quiet, and the soft long hair is filled with fragrance, which is both alluring and invisible.
There is only one person separating these two worlds.
Lu Yunzheng stood at the door holding a long sword. The silver mask on his face glowed white in the moonlight. He looked indescribably weird and extremely sharp.
With a creak, the door opened.
Liu Qiaoer was wrapped in a long scarf and wearing a coat. She was wiping her dripping hair with a big towel and appeared at the door with a confused look on her face.
"Hey, why are you guys not sleeping so late at night?"
The battle was coming to an end. All the invaders were killed or tied up. The smart ones also escaped. Qi Ze led his men to clean up the battlefield.
Lu Yunzheng turned his head to look at Liu Qiaoer, and quickly straightened his chest to block everyone's gaze.
"Why did you come out? Come in quickly."
Liu Qiaoer had just taken a bath and her clothes were in disarray. Although she was wrapped tightly, Lu Yunzheng thought that it was not something that outsiders could see.
He put his arm around Liu Qiaoer's shoulders, pushed her into the house, and closed the door.
Liu Qiaoer was even more confused, and then, she cleverly thought of the assassination attempt and blurted it out.
"Is someone trying to kill me again?"
Just as Lu Yunzheng was about to nod, his expression suddenly changed: "Again? What do you mean? They have already come to assassinate you?"
Liu Qiao'er didn't want to make Lu Yunzheng worry, but she didn't expect to let it slip. She laughed dryly and said calmly, "I ran into him when I came back just now, but he's dead. Oh, look at the token on his body."
On the table were the assassin's belongings, including a token, a badge, and some odds and ends.
Lu Yunzheng picked them up and looked at them carefully one by one. The signs were written in small seal script. Liu Qiaoer didn't recognize it, but Lu Yunzheng did.
At this time, Qi Ze also brought the same badge over.
"It turns out to be Qin Yuanming's subordinate. This person is narrow-minded and vindictive. It seems that we can't stay here for long. We will set off early tomorrow morning."
Qi Ze couldn't help but get a little angry: "Sir, this girl is the cause of all this trouble. First it was the Su family, and now it's the Qin family. If she stays any longer, she will mess with all the rich people in the county."
Liu Qiaoer was angry and said: "How did I get into trouble..."
Qi Ze: "You killed Su Mingyu, and the Su family offered a reward of 100 taels to hire someone to kill you, but the young master stopped them. I heard that the Su family's reward has increased to 200 taels, and now the Qin family has been added..."
Liu Qiaoer glared angrily but didn't say anything.
Lu Yunzheng frowned and scolded Qi Ze coldly: "Aze, shut up. Go back if you have nothing else to do and prepare to leave early tomorrow morning."
Qi Ze was angry and vented his anger like a bull: "Humph, Master, just indulge her. Sooner or later, she will cause trouble."
"Get out." Lu Yunzheng was terrified.
Qi Ze had no choice but to leave.
In the yard, Gu Mubai's voice came to persuade him: "Aze, don't be angry, that girl is your master's god of wealth, you can calculate how much money she has earned for your master."
The sound of the two people talking gradually faded away...
Liu Qiaoer also seemed to understand that Lu Yunzheng had hidden something from her.
"That...Su family..."
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Lu Yunzheng's stern expression returned to normal, and a hint of worry was revealed in his deep eyes.
He took the towel from Liu Qiaoer's hand and wiped her hair.
"These are all minor matters. You don't have to worry about them. As the saying goes, you train an army for a thousand days but deploy it for a single day. We have trained these children since they were young, so it's time for them to be brought out for some experience."
Liu Qiao'er was surprised: "You even have assassins. They must be the secret guards you trained. No wonder they were able to accompany you all the way back home from the capital."
After Lu Yunzheng wiped Liu Qiaoer's hair, he naturally picked up the comb and combed her hair.
"When I was a kid, my father saved a man from the underworld. He was a knife wielder and had great kung fu skills. All the people in his family had died. And since I also liked to practice martial arts, I asked my father to ask him to be my master."
Later, Lu Yunzheng saw that other mansions all had guards with martial arts skills, but his family did not originally have any. County Magistrate Lu’s salary was enough to support them, so he was not greedy.
But Mrs. Lu was very supportive and asked Lu Yunzheng to find some beggars with extraordinary muscles and bones to train as Lu Yunzheng's personal guards.
The guards of the wealthy families in the capital were all trained since childhood and learned martial arts from their masters.
