That night, Yan Wanwan received an alert from the plants—Zhuangzi was under siege. As for who was behind the siege, she knew it well enough to explain.
Yan Wanwan curled up the corners of her lips in a cold smile, and sneered softly: "Huh, this person can't stand being rejected, he is really vindictive." After that, she whispered a few words to the plants, then turned around and went back to the house to rest. She looked as if she didn't care at all about Zhuangzi's crisis.
What a joke! Ever since she took over the manor, she'd fostered the growth of numerous aggressive plants and even set up poison barriers. If these people were merely surrounding her from the outside, it would be fine; but if they tried to intrude, she wouldn't be responsible for the consequences, and she wasn't bothered to care.
Outside Zhuangzi, Marquis Changxin listened calmly to his subordinates' reports.
When he learned that Zhuangzi's housekeeper had gone to inform Yan Wanwan, he waited for the woman's arrival with confidence.
However, more than an hour passed quietly, and Yan Wanwan still did not show up. Marquis Changxin's patience quickly wore out.
"Where is the person? Did you go and inform them?"
Seeing that Marquis Changxin was angry, his subordinates hurriedly explained: "My Lord, the butler has indeed gone to deliver the message, but Miss Yan..."
The man hesitated and seemed to be about to speak.
Marquis Changxin was so angry that he sneered, "Isn't she afraid of us forcing her way in?"
The men all shook their heads, looked at each other, and then said cautiously, "Miss Yan also said that there are only a few grains and vegetables in the farm. If the Marquis needs anything, just take it. After all..."
They swallowed and continued, "After all, the Marquis has many remnant soldiers under his command. If there is less food, they may not have enough to eat. She just regarded it as a good deed."
Marquis Changxin's hair stood on end in anger. He stood up suddenly and gnashed his teeth, saying, "Good! Yan Wanwan is convinced that I dare not make any move. Humph, today I will make her understand that not everyone in this world fears me."
After saying this, he scanned the crowd with a sharp gaze, then shouted sternly, "Break the door!"
In an instant, the crowd surged forward like a tide.
Looking at the gate of Zhuangzi right in front of him, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Marquis Changxin's mouth.
In his mind, even though Yan Wanwan was the daughter of an official, she had to know that the people should not fight against the officials. Today he was going to teach her a severe lesson.
Unexpectedly, just as the army arrived at the gate, several powerful black shadows suddenly rushed past.
But the people in the front row were blown away like kites with broken strings, and their bodies uncontrollably slammed into the sharp blades held by the people in the back row.
For a moment, blood splattered and screams were heard. In just the blink of an eye, dozens of people were killed on the spot, killed by this sudden incident.
Marquis Changxin's face was filled with suspicion. He leaned forward to peer into the distance and shouted, "What was that just now?"
The attendant beside him quickly responded: "My Lord, it's dark at night, it's really hard to see clearly."
Marquis Changxin's eyes widened in anger as he shouted, "If you can't see clearly, then go ahead and find out what's going on. What's the point of keeping you around?"
Before he could finish his words, two dark shadows flashed past his eyes like lightning, followed by endless howling sounds from the front.
When they got closer, everyone could see clearly that they were two extremely thick vines, dancing wildly like a dragon emerging from the sea. Wherever they went, everyone was attacked indiscriminately.
One of the attendants cried out in horror, "This vine might have become a spirit, it's actually hurting people!"
Someone else trembled and said, "My Lord, I heard that Minister Lu... oh no, Lord Lu's family also had this vine. That vine is indestructible, resistant to swords and guns, nor to water or fire. No one can get close to it."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Changxin sneered, "Hmph, I'll see what a mere vine can do to me! Come on, set it on fire for me!"
However, few responded after he finished speaking. This was because in the short time he had been talking, half of his men had been killed by these strange vines. Everyone was terrified and dared not act rashly.
"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go now!"
Those people acted upon hearing the order, fetched torches like the wind, sprayed fuel on the vines, and then threw the burning torches at the vines with all their might.
However, a strange scene appeared.
The flames burned fiercely, but the vines continued to dance wildly, as if the two had nothing to do with each other. This situation completely overturned everyone's inherent understanding of the flammable properties of plants.
Immediately afterwards, a fire broke out for no reason where they were standing. The fire spread rapidly and everyone was burned to death.
Just at this moment, the gate of Zhuangzi suddenly opened, and a group of strong and muscular farmers, holding steel knives in their hands and shouting loudly, rushed towards them like a tide.
The resentment and anger in Marquis Changxin finally found an outlet. With his eyes wide open, he shouted, "Kill them all!"
The remaining soldiers shouted and rushed forward. For a moment, swords and knives collided in the air, splashing dense and fierce sparks.
After only two or three rounds, something shocking happened. The swords in the hands of the soldiers under Marquis Changxin were chopped off one after another. The broken ends were jagged, and half of the blades fell to the ground with a clang.
Marquis Changxin's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. "This is impossible! Our army's swords are meticulously forged, top-quality weapons. How could they be so easily slashed by these rural peasants? Could it be that they are wielding the legendary divine weapons?"
But the farmers were in high spirits at this time, their eyes were red and their momentum was like a rainbow. They rushed towards the enemy like a surging wave, forcing the men of Changxin Hou to flee in all directions in a panic.
"My lord, this situation is extremely unfavorable to us. If we continue like this, there will be a disaster. It is better for us to retreat for the time being!" A servant shouted anxiously.
Marquis Changxin was furious and shouted, "Retreat? How could I admit defeat in front of these villagers?"
After saying that, he suddenly pulled out a long sword from the waist of the guard beside him. With a flash of cold light, he rushed towards the farmers like an arrow.
In an instant, there was a loud "bang", as if thunder had exploded.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that the long sword in the hand of Marquis Changxin was actually split into two pieces, and the broken sword flew to the side.
At the same time, the steel knife in the farmer's hand slashed across, tearing a half-meter-long hole in the robe on the chest of Marquis Changxin. Blood spurted out like a fountain in an instant, dyeing his clothes a glaring blood red.
"Retreat! Escort the Marquis to evacuate quickly!"
After saying that, the remaining few people quickly surrounded Marquis Changxin and fled in panic.
When Qin Yu heard the news and hurried over with reinforcements, what he saw was the scene of Marquis Changxin and his entourage fleeing in a panic.
Ling Ying's eyes widened in astonishment, staring intently at the group of farmers who looked like tigers and wolves. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his voice slightly dry and trembling: "General... General, are they really farmers who only know how to farm?"
