The four men whose legs were chopped off were still alive. Zhang San and Li Si raised their swords and wiped their necks like killing chickens. The four men soon died and there was no sound.

Watching Zhang San and Li Si killing people with such swiftness and efficiency makes one's heart tremble.

At this time all the servants rushed over. In fact, they had heard the fighting in the yard a long time ago, but they were so scared that they huddled in the house and dared not move. Now that the fighting had stopped, they dared to come out to see what was going on.

Zhang San asked the coachman to harness the horse-drawn carriage that was usually used to transport coal and take the body out for disposal.

After the bodies were taken away, all the blood-stained snow on the ground was shoveled up and placed on the carriage and taken away together.

After the fight in the backyard, the noise from the martial arts academy next door gradually became quieter, and it seemed that the battle was coming to an end.

There was a tall and thick walnut tree in the yard. I climbed up the tree nimbly, found a branch with a good view and sat on it, watching the situation in the Martial Arts Academy from afar.

After dealing with the corpses, Zhang San and Li Si also jumped onto the tree like me and looked at the martial arts academy from afar.

It seems that Zheng Xian sent a lot of people this time. The light from those torches can illuminate half of the martial arts academy.

I don't know who is so bold as to keep private soldiers in the martial arts academy. It seems that they want to rebel before the New Year. I didn't expect that I would catch these people red-handed when I was just strolling around the back mountain.

My luck is incredible. No wonder so many people want to kill me. I can catch any bad guy I meet.

If what happened tonight gets out that I was the one who tipped off, I guess those people would be willing to pay 100,000 taels of gold.

In this case, I'm afraid my life in the future will be even more difficult. I have always just wanted to live a peaceful life, why is it so difficult?

TV dramas don't even act this way.

In the TV series, there is only the love between Zheng Yan and Zhao Fangping. But here I am, not only is there no love, but I live in fear every day. If I am not careful, I will have to report to the King of Hell.

Watching the clanging of gunfire in the distance, my heart was filled with thoughts, and I didn't know how to spend the rest of my life.

The three of us had not been hanging on the tree for long when there was a knock on the door.

Zhang San poked his head out the door and said, "It looks like Lord Gongsun."

I said, "Go open the door. If you don't come earlier or later, come after we have finished cleaning up."

Zhang San and Li Si didn't dare to say anything. Zhang San jumped down from the tree and opened the gate with the guard.

Gongsun Wen rushed in with a team of imperial guards, and before he even entered the yard, he loudly asked, "Where is your master?"

Before Zhang San could say anything, Gongsun Wen asked loudly, "Can you hear the noise next door?"

Zhang San nodded and said, "I heard that. Just now, more than a dozen thieves broke into the mansion..."

Before Zhang San could finish his words, Gongsun Wen was so frightened that he interrupted him: "Where's Ah Man? Is Ah Man okay?"

Zhang San shook his head and said, "Second Young Master is fine, he..."

Zhang San hadn't finished speaking when Gongsun Wen interrupted him again: "What happened to Ah Man?"

I lowered my head and said loudly, "I'm in the tree. I'm fine. I'm alive and well."

When Gongsun Wen saw me, he heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "His Majesty was worried about your safety, so he asked me to bring a team of imperial guards to protect you. I am relieved to see that you are okay."

It turned out that it was Zheng Xian who asked him to bring people to protect me, and he didn't rush to see me because he was worried about my safety.

Suddenly, I felt an inexplicable sense of loss in my heart, and an indescribable emotion emerged from the bottom of my heart. I couldn’t describe what that feeling was, but I just felt stuffy and sour in my chest, and inexplicably sad.

Gongsun Wen saw that I didn't say anything, so he asked in confusion, "Why did you run up the tree?"

I said slowly, "I have nothing to do, so I climbed up to watch others fight."

Gongsun Wen clearly sensed the alienation in my tone. He didn't understand why I suddenly became like this, but he was too busy to think about it, so he could only say, "This team of imperial guards will stay in your house. I still have things to do. You should come down and rest in the house. It's cold in the tree."

I said "hmm" and didn't say anything.

Gongsun Wen walked very quickly. After mounting the horse, he whipped the horse desperately. The horse neighed loudly and ran away very fast.

A lot of Royal Guards came and surrounded the entire house. Now even a fly couldn't fly in.

But I didn't listen to Gongsun Wen and go back to the house. I was still sitting on the tree branch looking at the fire and hurried figures in the distance, as if I was watching a TV series. This TV series has no protagonist, only a plot. This plot is dominated by Zhao Shengping, who has changed his core. It gradually deviates from the original track and moves in an unpredictable direction.

I was just daydreaming when Zhang San jumped onto the tree with a thick cloak in his hand, carefully put it on me, and said, "Second Master, it's late at night and the weather is cold, please take care of yourself."

Li Si didn't dare to leave and was shivering with cold to protect me. Zhang San got a cloak for me, but there was no one for Li Si. He looked at Zhang San aggrievedly, but Zhang San pretended not to see it.

I said with a bit of amusement, "You don't have to guard me, I just want to see what's going on in the martial arts academy. Although there are more Royal Guards guarding our house, you two should not be careless. I just saw several more people escape from the wall. If they are running in our direction, there will definitely be another fierce fight. There are many children and women here, and if we are not careful, people will die. We must be careful."

Zhang San and Li Si quickly agreed, then jumped down from the tree and led everyone to check everywhere.

I pulled my cloak closer. The leaves had all fallen, leaving only bare branches. The snow was falling heavily, and it was fluttering all over me.

The snow was heavy and the wind was strong, so it was not a good idea for a cat to stay on this big tree. I shook off the snow on my body, swung my feet, jumped onto the snow, and walked towards the main house without looking back.

Yiping and Jinping were still hiding behind the door, looking outside. When they saw me approaching, they were about to stand up and open the door, but I walked up to the door and pushed it hard. I heard two loud bangs, followed by two screams, and Jinping's scolding: "You good Ah Man, at least say hello before you come in. I got a big bump on my forehead and it hurts so much."

I walked in and saw two people jumping behind the door. I asked curiously, "Didn't I tell you to go to bed? What are you doing hiding behind this door?"

When Yingchun saw me come in, she quickly lit the light, and a glimmer of light came into the dark room.

Yi Ping was in so much pain that tears came out. He covered his forehead and said, "Brother, we are worried about you. We have been watching the door for fear that something bad might happen to you."

I took off my cape and threw it to Yingchun, saying, "Thank you so much. You were so cold that you didn't go to bed but hid behind the door to watch. Since you don't want to sleep, call Panchun and the others to come to the kitchen and cook some hot soup for everyone to warm up. We are all exhausted tonight. We are cold and hungry and have to keep watch all night. We can't do without something hot to eat."
