Jia Yang took this opportunity to come to Hua Zhi, and the two of them stood back to back, while the men in black also surrounded them.
Hua Zhi said softly: "Quick battle, quick decision."
Jia Yang responded in a deep voice. He already had several wounds on his body, and the young lady's injuries would only be more serious than his. They could not afford a protracted battle. In fact, the current situation was beyond his expectations. Although he had heard from others that the young lady knew some self-defense skills and was quite ruthless, he had never thought she was so ruthless.
She may not be stronger than those people, but her fearless and ruthless spirit of risking everything allows her to exert strength far beyond her own ability.
The man in black moved, and Hua Zhi and Jia Yang each went to meet him. They were no longer attacked from the front and back. Hua Zhi attacked more fiercely, as if she didn't care about her life. She was determined to take the life of the other party even if she was stabbed herself. Relying on this strategy of killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of her own, after Jia Yang dealt with the fourth man, he came to help her deal with the last one.
Seeing this, the man entangled by Dongzi and Liu Cheng wanted to escape, but the whip worked again and he was rolled back before he could run a few steps. Jia Yang kept the man alive, and to prevent him from committing suicide, he not only tied him up but also cut off his jaw.
Hua Zhi felt so light that she almost couldn't find her hands and feet, but everyone inside the door was watching her.
She stabbed the dagger into the ground to gain leverage, and finally managed to stand up. Her hands and feet were shaking from exhaustion, but she walked in as if nothing had happened.
But she was weak and she wouldn't gain much strength just because she tried to hold on. After walking a few steps, her legs went weak and she knelt down. Although she immediately stabbed the ground with her dagger, it only prevented her from falling to the ground.
The sound of chaotic footsteps came closer and closer. Hua Zhi smiled bitterly. She wanted to appear more relaxed and had even thought of what to say to prove that she was not struggling to deal with the matter. But no one would believe her now even if she said so.
"Zhi'er..."
Hua Zhi struggled to stand up, looked at her father's red eyes and smiled, "I feel a little exhausted."
Hua Pingyu helped her turn around and half squatted down, "Come, let your father carry you."
Hua Zhi was stunned there. As a father, she valued her children very much, but he had never even held a legitimate son like Bai Yang. Here, people valued holding grandchildren rather than sons, and the men in the Hua family have always been very standard in this regard.
And now, her father said he would carry her on his back.
Hua Pingyang helped her to climb onto his eldest brother's back, saying, "Don't worry, my eldest brother has gained a lot of strength, he won't let you fall."
Despite saying so, he still held on to the side to protect her, fearing that his niece, who was covered in blood, would fall.
Hua Pingyu had indeed gained a lot of strength over the past year, but he was still a scholar at heart. However, at this moment, he seemed to have exploded. He carried the person into the main room without any shaking and put him on a wide chair.
Hua Yizhen had someone find the medicine, but everyone could only look at each other in confusion when they got the medicine.
There are no other women here...
Hua Pingyang suddenly clapped his hands, turned around and ran out, "I'll go ask Mrs. Chen next door to come over."
The people nearby had woken up early due to such a loud noise. They would hesitate to fight the enemy, but they were willing to help apply medicine. Hua Yi was just calming himself down and preparing to talk to his granddaughter when Hua Pingyang ran in quickly with the Chen couple.
Hua Yizheng had no choice but to hold back, stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you for troubling Sister Chen."
"It's not a trouble, it's not a trouble." Mrs. Chen looked at Hua Zhi in awe. Her house was next door, and she had seen this girl's heroic figure through the crack of the door many times before. So many men had been knocked down by her, she was really amazing.
Just as he was about to help the person to the next room, Hua Yizheng said, "Let's stay here, we'll all go out."
The others hurriedly retreated to the yard, and after the door was closed, Hua Pingyu stayed there personally.
Hua Yi was walking to the gate of the courtyard and looking at the people outside who were not sure whether they were alive or dead. His eyes fell on Jia Yang. If it weren't for this man, Zhier would never be able to deal with so many people alone.
"Thank you for tonight, come in and rest."
Jia Yang declined respectfully, "I don't deserve your thanks. I'll just stand guard outside."
Hua Yizhen did not force it. He turned around and saw Dongzi and Liu Chengzheng being surrounded by servants and applying medicine. He remembered these two people well. They dared to rush out in that situation and fight with the enemy regardless of life and death. This was the best.
After thinking about the matter carefully, Hua Yizheng called Chen Shan over and said, "Go to the garrison and report this matter."
Chen Shan was stunned. "You mean we should go now?"
"Now."
"Yes." Chen Shan turned around and was about to leave when he heard a voice saying "wait".
The door of the main room opened and Hua Zhi walked out. She was still wearing torn clothes, and the wound covered by the lining could be seen at a glance from the torn clothes.
"Don't go to the garrison, go to the front line to find Yan Xi."
"Zhi'er, I want Chen Shan to go to the garrison to file a report. This matter cannot be delayed." As he spoke, Hua Yi walked towards her and held her arm. Hua Pingyu had already brought a chair over himself and was almost half-forcing the person to sit down.
Hua Zhi accepted this awkward concern and glanced at the Chen couple.
Hua Pingyang understood and immediately said polite words to invite the two to leave. When they reached the door, Mrs. Chen was still looking back at Hua Zhi. It was the first time she saw someone so pale, and also the first time she saw someone who had suffered so many injuries but could look like nothing happened. No wonder a woman like her dared to run all the way from the capital to Yinshan Pass.
Hua Zhi was about to speak when she looked up and saw that everyone was looking at her with concern. Her two half brothers had red eyes and Hua Baili looked like he was about to cry. She couldn't help but smile. Who doesn't want their efforts to be remembered
"I just felt exhausted, but I'm back to normal now."
Everyone nodded, as if they all believed it.
"Bai Li, bring me a bowl of warm water and put some salt in it."
Hua Baili turned around and went to the kitchen without saying a word. The servants followed him for fear that he had made a mistake.
Hua Zhi picked up the previous topic, "Sending a few people to the front line to find Yan Xi is more useful than going to the garrison to file a report."
Hua Yi was looking at her, waiting for her to explain the reason.
Hua Zhi continued, "What a coincidence. The patrols at Yinshan Pass have always been tight. If there hadn't been such a big noise from the enemy attack, they would have been attracted here long ago. I have every reason to suspect that the night attack and the assassination are related. In this case, the enemy attack may just be a trick. I even suspect that they have the intention of killing three birds with one stone. I'm not sure whether our Hua family is their ultimate target or just one of the links, so I think it's not appropriate to go to the Guard House at this time. If we are just one of the links, the other party wants to use us, or is waiting for us to make this trip. If we are the ultimate target..."
Hua Zhi's lips were pursed into a straight line, her eyes were sharp, "Then we need Yan Xi to come back even more. I can't withstand the next wave of enemies like this."
