Chapter 308: Guardian (1)

Views:

Although Hua Pingyang was frightened by his niece's sudden outburst of ferocity, he was a man and an elder, and it didn't make sense for him to just stand by and watch while the younger one did it.

He also learned the six arts of a gentleman, and although he was not very good at other things, he was good at riding and shooting. But now he had no bow and arrow!

He looked around and saw a stick at the entrance of the alley and was about to run to pick it up. The man in black thought he was going to run away, so he sent one of his men to chase him. Hua Zhi had no time to spare and got out of the way, entangled with the man, and shouted, "Go in!"

Hua Pingyang suddenly became clear-headed and slapped himself hard. Since these people were coming for the Hua family, what could be more important than notifying his family and letting them be prepared for the situation!

Obviously, the man in black did not want to give him this opportunity. Seeing that he was about to go to Hua's house, several people surrounded him.

"Jia Yang!"

Jia Yang immediately broke free and rushed over there, swinging his whip. The people who had surrounded him naturally would not be happy to see him do bad things, and they followed him closely.

Hua Zhi had an idea in mind when she saw this. When the man in black was guarding against her dagger, he didn't notice that she had a long hairpin in her other hand. She blocked him with the dagger, and the long hairpin stabbed into his throat. Then, without even looking at him, she quickly walked towards Jia Yang and intercepted the people behind Jia Yang.

She knows herself well and knows that she alone cannot save her fourth uncle, only Jia Yang can do it!

There was such a loud noise outside, and Hua Zhi deliberately raised her voice, so how could the Hua family not know that something was wrong? The guards Dongzi and Liu Cheng who came with her vigilantly opened a crack to see the situation outside, and immediately reported it to the Hua family members standing in the yard.

Hua Pingyu knew his daughter was outside and was about to go outside, but Hua Yi stopped him, "Don't hold Zhier back."

"But..." Hua Pingyu's eyes instantly turned red. Yes, they knew from Shaoyao that their daughter knew some self-defense skills, but that was a girl who grew up under their noses. Even if she knew some, how good could she be? !

Hua Yizheng clenched his trembling hands into fists and hid them in his sleeves without leaving any trace. "I will wait here. All members of the Hua family will advance and retreat together."

Hua Pingchen took a half step forward and said, "Should we let the little one hide for a while? With such a big commotion, someone will surely come over after a while."

"Even if all the Hua family members die here, there will be no end to their descendants." Hua Yizheng's beard was shaking, "I want to see who wants to kill our whole family!"

The old man's words were as sonorous as the sound of swords clashing outside. Instead of retreating, the younger generations of the Hua family straightened their backs and took a step forward together. Even the loyal servants who came with them protected their master with sticks, shovels, kitchen knives and other things that could be used as weapons.

Dongzi and Liu Cheng looked at each other, and they both drew out their swords, then opened the door.

At the moment the door was opened, the Hua family members in the yard clearly saw their eldest daughter covered in blood, not knowing whether it was her own or someone else's, being surrounded by three people. When she saw the door open, she glanced over here, and the look in her eyes was so fierce and sharp that it made people's hearts tremble.

It was just this moment of distraction that gave Hua Zhi, who was already at a disadvantage, the opportunity to be attacked in the face by a knife. The people surrounding her did not give her a chance to dodge and blocked her retreat. The younger ones cried out in surprise, and even Hua Yizhen, who was the most stable, could not help but take a step forward.

In a hurry, Hua Zhi just slightly turned her body to let the knife fall on her shoulder. When the opponent's momentum was too strong and she couldn't retract the dagger, she slashed him in the face with it. At the same time, she ducked to avoid the attack from behind. When the man in front of her instinctively retreated because of the injury, she took the opportunity to attack again. The long hairpin pierced straight into his eyes. With a scream, the man in black covered his eyes and rolled on the ground in pain. The siege was immediately opened, and Hua Zhi rolled on the ground and escaped from the encirclement.

It seemed like a thousand words were needed, but in reality, it only took a moment. Hua Zhi had no time to rest. As soon as she escaped from the encirclement, she was targeted and stuck to again.

At this time, the courtyard gate was closed by Dongzi.

Hua Yizheng calmed his pounding heart, and with a tremor in his voice, he said, "Open the door."

Before the servant moved, Hua Pingyu had already run over and opened the door. Standing at the door, he saw more clearly how dangerous Zhier was at the moment.

He also saw his fourth brother dodging in a panic, and the two guards running forward regardless of their own lives to block the black-clad men who were chasing him. Hua Pingyu ran out without a second thought, grabbed his fourth brother who was almost falling to the ground, dragged him back into the house, and helped him in front of his father.

"Dad, their target is the Hua family!"

Hua Yizhen had already guessed it, but what he didn't understand was that now that he was a criminal, who could he pose a threat to

Suddenly someone asked, "Where is Lu Yanxi?"

That's right, where's Lu Yanxi? That person clearly has a warrior physique, and the people he brought with him also looked quite skilled, so why is he nowhere to be seen now

Hua Pingyang smiled bitterly, "The enemy attacked at night, Lu Yanxi went to the border, and Jia Yang was the one he left behind to protect Zhier."

Hua Yizhen's eyes narrowed. The enemy was disturbing the border, and the soldiers who patrolled on weekdays would be recruited to the front line. At this time, the Hua family was assassinated, and there would be no rescue in a short time. He didn't believe this was a coincidence!

"Eldest sister!"

Hua Baili's exclamation made everyone look outside the door again, and Hua Zhi was surrounded again.

Hua Zhi no longer dared to be distracted. She tried her best to block the knife in front of her. She originally planned to withstand the attack from behind, but Jia Yang's long whip had already arrived. He wrapped around the man and threw him far away, saving Hua Zhi from danger.

But this time was enough for the man in black to get close, and the advantage of the long whip was completely lost. He was stabbed on the back, but he seemed not to feel the pain. He threw away the whip and drew his sword, and took the other blow.

Hua Zhi's breathing became heavier. Her weakness was her lack of strength. The man in black also saw this and changed his rapid attack to a roving one, trying to drain her strength.

How could Hua Zhi let them have their way? If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain. Just when the man in black missed his attack and wanted to retreat, Hua Zhi flew up with a long hairpin in one hand and pounced on him. The man in black instinctively raised his hand to meet the enemy, but he didn't expect that Hua Zhi's move was a fake. What really wanted to kill him was not the long hairpin, but the dagger. He blocked the long hairpin, and the dagger slashed his neck at the same time.

With a loud bang, the man in black fell to the ground. Just when everyone thought she was exhausted and was about to fall, she actually took the initiative to attack another person. She still used the long hairpin as the main weapon and the dagger as the auxiliary weapon. However, with the lessons learned from the previous incident, the man in black was naturally on guard against the dagger, and this time, the deadly weapon was the long hairpin.

Two people were killed in the blink of an eye. Hua Zhi's ferocity made the men in black lose their momentum. Jia Yang took the opportunity to attack, and every move was fatal. At this time, there were only eight men in black left. One of them was being desperately entangled by Dongzi and Liu Cheng. Although he was still no match for them, he prevented the other party from getting away for a while.
