The little girls were terrified, and Hua Xiyu was also quite surprised that there were so many beggars. Qingxing, Nanny Bai and two guards were trying their best to stop the beggars from approaching. Hongmei protected the young lady and ran to a deserted place.

In a panic, she ran into an alley without realizing it. Hongmei was gasping for breath and could no longer run. Hua Xiyu leaned against the wall and looked at Hongmei deeply. It was impossible for a person who poisoned her to treat her sincerely.

Sure enough, several masked men descended from the sky, holding shining swords in their hands, and approached them step by step. Hongmei screamed in fear, "Miss, what should we do?"

What should she do? She didn’t even take these few people seriously.

On the other side, Qing Xing and Nanny Bai saw that they could not stop the beggars. The two guards were also helpless and could not use swords to deal with them. They could only try their best to stop them and buy some time for the young lady to leave.

Seeing that they were about to be drowned by the beggars, Qing Xing and Nanny Bai might be trampled to death by the beggars, a guard took out a handful of copper coins and scattered them behind them.

"Money is falling from the sky!" someone shouted loudly. The beggars immediately turned around and rushed towards the direction where the money was falling. Qingxing and Nanny Bai were finally able to escape. Their faces were covered with blood, their clothes were messy, and their hair was disheveled. They looked extremely miserable.

Hua Xiyu instinctively reached into her trouser pocket for a poker card, but there was nothing there, not even in her trouser pocket. She was stunned for a moment, then looked around. It seemed that the only thing she could use as a weapon was the bricks on the wall, but the bricks could not be pulled down from the wall.

Several people were getting closer and closer, and several knives were slashing at her from all directions. She ducked down, protected her head with her arms, and rolled towards the tallest man. Then she swept her left leg across, took advantage of his unstable body, grabbed him, and threw him to the ground. She stepped on his knife hand and took the knife from his hand naturally and smoothly, then slashed his arm. The blade was not particularly sharp, and only made a big cut. Blood spurted out, and she quickly dodged to avoid getting it all over her clothes.

It was too late for the others to react. Someone cursed, "Isn't she just an ordinary, stupid and weak woman? Damn it, this is also called stupid and weak."

The others didn't have time to say anything and just swung their knives at him.

Hua Xiyu glanced at the person who was speaking and sneered in her heart, "Haha, I'm just going to show you how stupid I am." She twirled the knife in her hand and glanced at the masked men nonchalantly. The look in her eyes that looked at them as if they were dead made several people stop in their tracks. Then, looking at their companion whose arm was chopped off, several people rushed up to kill him without hesitation.

Hua Xiyu dodged several times, and before they could see clearly, she circled left and right and came up to them. Five people were injured to varying degrees, and the sharp knife in Hua Xiyu's hand was already across the leader's neck. "Get out if you don't want to die."

Who is not afraid of death? Those who are not afraid of death are those who have to die and have no way to survive. As long as there is a chance, people will cherish their lives, and there has been no exception from ancient times to the present.

The others looked at the eldest brother hesitantly, and the knives in their hands dropped unconsciously. "Eldest brother!" several people shouted in unison.

"Don't worry about me, just kill her and give my share of the money to my mother."

Hua Xiyu understood that the person was offering money to buy her life, but she didn't know who wanted her life.

When the gang saw their leader being held hostage and disarmed, the others dropped their knives. However, the boss was a tough guy and kept shouting, "Don't worry about me, just kill her."

"Boss,..."

"Do you think they can kill me?" Hua Xiyu really didn't want to discourage him. She didn't take their self-taught skills seriously.

The boss was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this problem. He only wanted to collect money from people and help them get rid of disasters. If you want to be in the underworld, you must abide by the rules of the underworld.

But if you want to risk the life of a brother who has shared weal and woe with you, then you have to think about it.

"Hurry up and leave," the boss looked at his brothers and turned around and ran away. He took the money to do the job, but it didn't include risking his and his brothers' lives.

Hua Xiyu kept holding the knife, watching those men retreat in such an embarrassing manner, and sneered.

"Stop?" She shouted softly, and several men in black stopped in their tracks, knowing that it would not be that easy.

"Who is the financial sponsor?" Several people looked at each other timidly, not daring to look her in the eye.

"Well, the rules of the underworld..." The boss didn't finish his words before he screamed "Ah" and a branch pierced his thigh, blood gushing out.

His accomplices were dumbfounded. They wanted to come forward to help, but they were afraid. They thought they had offended a female devil and what bad luck they had.

Hua Xiyu broke off another branch and prepared to pierce the other leg.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you," the eldest brother hurriedly tried to stop him, hesitating as if he couldn't speak. Hua Xiyu didn't want to waste time with him and pretended to go for it again, "It's a woman, we don't know who she is." Now that he had said it all, he just blurted it out, "She gave us five hundred taels of silver. She wants to ruin your innocence or take your life. In short, she wants to destroy you."

"Oh?" Hua Xiyu became interested when she heard it. There was actually a woman who hated her so much. She wanted to hear it.

The eldest brother added, "Brothers, don't do anything to ruin the woman's innocence. It's easier to just kill her."

"It seems you are still good people." Hua Xiyu laughed, and his laugh was sarcastic. It's really the case of "There is a Code for Thieves".

"I'll give you three days to figure out the identity of the financier. Give me the answer in three days, or I'll wipe you out. Get lost."

Atu, A Shui, Jie'an, Yiqi and the other three were watching their target closely, waiting for her to get close and fall into the trap so that they could easily kill her. However, their plan was disrupted by a group of beggars rushing out. Then, they watched Miss Hua walk into another secluded alley. At the same time, they all showed joy on their faces, because that alley was more secluded and easier to strike. Haha, the prey they were staring at would never escape.

What happened next made them all drop their jaws in shock. Someone took action for them. The person who didn't want their master to marry also wanted Miss Hua to die, but the people he found were too unreliable.

They are happy to watch the fire from the other side of the river and wait for the benefits.

The result was that the group fled in panic. This was simply...

"Brother Qi, this man doesn't look like a fool. His skills are so amazing, unlike what the legend says." Ah Tu hesitated.

"What should I do? Kill or not?" Ji'an was a little confused. It didn't matter if he killed the wrong person, but there was no need to cause trouble.

"Kill, it's better to kill him by mistake than to let him go." As the commander of the guards, Yiqi's words represent the prince's opinion at this moment. How can he let the prince marry a foolish woman as his princess? The brothers' future is tied to the prince. A good marriage can bring a lifetime of happiness to the prince. Even if this woman is not Miss Hua, he is inseparable from her.

The three second-rate killers hired by A Shui rushed out after receiving the order. Yi Qi looked at the fight outside and thought that they were more than enough to deal with a weak and foolish woman. Now it seems that they misjudged the opponent and have to do it themselves.

Looking at the masked man who appeared again, Hua Xiyu cursed in her heart, this is endless, right? In that case, why bother talking to them? She subconsciously reached into her trouser pocket to take out the playing cards, but looking at her empty hands, she realized belatedly that this was in ancient times, people wore skirts over trousers, and the trousers didn't have pockets.

The effect of muscle memory is so powerful that the brain doesn't remember it, but the muscles do. I didn't have time to think about it just now, but now I realize it.

Three people slowly approached, and in a moment she was stunned, the encirclement shrank even smaller. She was in no mood to think about why they wanted to kill her. She was a little nervous when she didn't touch the poker cards, but now looking at these three people, from their gait, breathing and body shape, she felt completely relieved. Their kung fu was not much better than the previous ones. Such a noob wanted to kill her, he was really crazy.

She looked around and found no useful tools. The low-quality knife in her hand was broken. It was fine for cutting vegetables, but forget about cutting people.

She just stood there, allowing the other party to slowly approach. They had just seen her skills, so they were also very cautious. They stopped about twenty steps away. One of them asked, "Are you Hua Qianyu, the eldest daughter of Washington Mansion?"

"It's your great aunt." Since they all said it was, then that was it. She didn't bother about who she was anymore.

The three of them exchanged glances, as if to say, brothers, you are right, let’s kill him.

Apart from the curved knife, she had no other usable weapons. The opponent went straight for the vital points, obviously wanting to kill her. She stretched out her long legs, lowered her body, and chopped one of them in the leg with the knife. The opponent was immediately thrown into confusion, and the encirclement was instantly broken.

Another man swung his sword at her, and she blocked it with her rolled-blade knife. The knife got stuck to the opponent's sword, and the crackling sound of metal tearing made her teeth spasm.

The sword and the knife were stuck together and couldn't be separated. He pulled hard, and the opponent was staggered and pounced on by Hua Xiyu's force. As soon as Hua Xiyu loosened his hand, the man fell directly on his sword with a thud. Fortunately, the sword and the knife were not too sharp and could not take his life.

The next second, Hua Xiyu stepped on the man's back with one foot and picked up the sword stuck on the ground with one hand. Feeling someone stab at her from behind, she swung the sword in her hand hard, and heard another series of "sizzling" sounds. The knife hanging on the sword flew out and stabbed directly into the chest of the man behind her. The man's hand softened, and the sword raised in the air flew towards Hua Xiyu.

Hua Xiyu chuckled, thinking that this was food delivered to the king. She nimbly dodged the tip of the sword and slapped the flying sword with the sword in her hand. The sword turned around and stabbed at the person on her left. The sword went straight into the person's abdomen, and the person curled up on the ground in pain, watching the blood flow out.

Two of the three men were killed in a blink of an eye. She swung the sword in her hand and looked at the man who was holding the sword but did not dare to act rashly in a joking manner. The man knew that he was no match for her and no amount of silver could buy his life, so he dropped the sword in his hand and turned around and ran away.

Hua Xiyu was too lazy to care about them. These little minions were just cannon fodder and knew very little. She threw down the sword in her hand, straightened her dress, and prepared to go find Qingxing and the others.

Her hair was still as neat as when she went out, and her skirt was a little messy, but she just needed to tidy it up.

In a short period of time, two groups of people came to want to kill him. Her mind was blank and she had no idea who he had offended, so she decided not to think about it for the time being.

Hua Xiyu walked out of the alley with an elegant gait. Looking up, he could see a jujube tree in the yard. Bunches of ripe jujubes hung on the highest part of the tree. The branches near the wall had been deliberately pulled out of the wall. There were still some green jujubes on the lower parts. Hua Xiyu also pulled the branch and casually picked up a handful of leaves and held them in his hand.

Atu Ashuijie An Yiqi who had been hiding in the dark was completely dumbfounded. This, wasn't it too strong? The woman fought off two groups of people in a row, but there was not a drop of blood on her clothes, her hair was not even messed up, and her veil was firmly worn on her face, as if she was a passerby and nothing had happened.

Before they could figure out whether to take action or not, Hua Xiyu raised his hand, and the dates in his hand seemed to have eyes and flew towards the people hiding in the dark. They only had time to dodge sideways, and a leaf still cut off a small tuft of Yiqi's hair at his temple.

He was still in a daze, and the other three had already put on their face masks and jumped out from their hiding places. Hua Xiyu knew that they were not the same as the previous two groups. Although she would not be defeated by fighting four alone, it would take some time. She did not want others to know her background yet, so it was better to lure them out and fight openly than to let them hide and shoot arrows from the dark.

Unfortunately, there are no suitable weapons at hand. The knives and swords of those minions are made of similar materials as kitchen knives. They are okay for cutting fruits, but are far from being suitable for chopping people.

If I can't kill you, I'll exhaust you. She turned around with the sword in her hand and ran towards the four people. Her skirt created a gust of wind and the fallen leaves on the ground jumped with it. She blocked Jie'an's attack with a sword and quickly moved behind Yiqi, snatching his sword before he could unsheathe it. Her movements were smooth, continuous and graceful, like a performance. By the time Jie'an and the brothers Atu and Ah Shui reacted, Yiqi had been kicked away by Hua Xiyu.

When eating persimmons, you naturally pick the soft ones.

Ji'an and Atuo and A Shui attacked again. Hua Xiyu held Yiqi's sword. Haha, that guy's kung fu was not good, but his sword was a good one.

Yiqi is the captain of the guards in the palace, but her kung fu is not as good as Jie'an's. She is indeed a good swordsman. She calmly dealt with the three people. Besides the sound of weapons colliding, she also faintly heard Qingxing's shouts. She didn't want the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion to know her background.

It was a one-on-four situation and it would take too long to win. She didn't want to get entangled with them anymore, so she found an opening and jumped. She felt the uselessness of these embroidered shoes again. They had no elasticity at all and hurt her feet. Her body did not fly as high as she expected, and when she fell, she stepped on someone's head. Using that fulcrum, she exerted more strength and jumped out of the encirclement with a somersault.
