Inside the room, several oil lamps flickered.

"She should have succeeded, right?"

Xie Xuan'an took a sip of tea, frowned, and felt that time was passing very slowly.

Zhou Yimo unconsciously clenched the teacup in his hand.

His face was calm, but he was a little panicked inside. He replied randomly: "That should be the case. I hope she can return safely."

At this moment, the sound of weapons clashing suddenly came from downstairs outside the door, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

Zhou Yimo and the other man were so shocked that they stood up at the same time.

They exchanged glances and quickly walked towards the window sill.

Xie Xuan'an looked up along the window.

Not far outside Zuiyuexuan, Li Qingqing, dressed in night clothes, was raising the spear high in her hand, using all her strength to block the oncoming sword.

The long sword attacked with a sharp force, and the man holding the sword was none other than Yun Ying, the shadow guard under the Third Prince, whom Xie Xuan'an had met before.

Xie Xuan said with a relieved heart: It’s broken!

He quickly ordered his guards to stop them.

But Li Qingqing didn't know Yun Ying, and she was extremely devastated.

After she came out of Liu's house, she walked a distance in the opposite direction to make sure that no one was following her before she headed towards Zuiyuexuan with peace of mind.

She was only focused on rushing towards Zuiyuexuan and never thought that someone would be waiting for her.

After all, it only took her a few hours to go to Liu's house and back.

She had never seen these people before when she went to Liu's house. They came out from nowhere and seemed to be waiting for her there.

Moreover, these people are quite skilled in martial arts and are obviously not Xie Xuanan's men.

Otherwise, Xie Xuan'an would not have sent only those eight guards to follow her to Liu's house.

They actually started fighting without saying a word!

Didn’t know that the villain died because he didn’t talk enough?

If she hadn't reacted quickly and taken out the spear from the space to block it in time, she would have been successfully ambushed by them today!

Li Qingqing was extremely angry. She had been attacked by Mr. Liu's men in the study before, and now she was attacked by these people again.

Do you think she is easy to bully?

Come and go without indecent!

Li Qingqing blocked the opponent's sword, and with a flash of her body, her spear stabbed towards Yunying like a streaking lightning.

Yunying quickly dodged.

He was shocked and thought: Your Highness is really good at predicting things. Someone is trying to assassinate Young Master Xie so soon.

This person is dressed in night clothes, he must be here with bad intentions!

Yunying quickly called on his companions to join the siege.

Seeing that Yunying had help, Li Qingqing planned to fight quickly and get rid of these people as soon as possible.

It's dark at night and no one will see us.

Yunying and others also had the same intention.

Both sides gradually became murderous, and every attack was a killing move.

Li Qingqing sensed the other party's murderous intent and attacked even more ruthlessly.

Her internal energy surged into her palm, and the spear in her hand attacked like a meteor towards several shadow guards who were wielding swords. In a few breaths, she forced them to retreat step by step.

Seeing this, Yunying flashed and turned into a shadow, circling to Li Qingqing's back and stabbed out the long sword in his hand silently.

Li Qingqing felt a chill coming from behind, but she did not panic.

He just turned sideways and swept his spear across to block Yunying's sword.

Then, she shook her wrist, and the spear coiled up like a snake, rushing towards Yunying's throat.

Seeing this, Yunying took a step back in embarrassment. He swung his sword and swung away the spear, barely defusing the crisis.

Seeing Yunying dodge, Li Qingqing did not stop her actions. Instead, she launched an even more powerful attack, sweeping towards Yunying like a raging tide.

She had already intended to kill, and she was merciless. The spear in her hand was deadly and was about to pierce Yunying's vitals!

At this moment, an urgent voice was heard:

"Stop it! We're one of us!"

Li Qingqing felt the voice sounded familiar and knew it was one of the eight guards from before.

But by this time the move was already outdated and it was too late to retract it.

She had no choice but to turn sideways and kick Yunying hard, sending him to the side. At the same time, she abruptly redirected her attack towards the ground.

After Yunying was kicked down, he rolled on the ground and stood up.

He looked in the direction of the sound.

The guard came running over, saluted the two men, and said hurriedly:

"You two, we're one of us, please come upstairs!"

Li Qingqing and Yun Ying looked at each other, said nothing, and followed the guards to Zuiyuexuan.

At this moment, Xie Xuanan, who was standing upstairs, was extremely shocked.

He was horrified to see Li Qingqing, Yun Ying and the others interacting downstairs.

Although the night was as dark as ink, there were lanterns hanging high in the Zuiyuexuan Restaurant, so he could still see their fight clearly.

Before, he guessed that Li Qingqing was good at martial arts, but there was a big difference between what he saw with his own eyes and what he guessed.

He did not know martial arts, but he had seen the young General Zhennan wield a spear, and his spear skills were extremely sharp and as fast as lightning.

But now, he only felt that Li Qingqing's kung fu should be comparable to that of General Zhennan, or even more powerful.

After all, it was only a few moves and he almost put Yunying in danger.

Xie Xuan'an was worried about Yun Ying's safety, and he felt relieved when he saw that the guards had stopped their fighting.

He glanced at Zhou Yimo beside him and found that he looked normal, which made him feel a little suspicious.

"Brother Zhou, aren't you surprised?"

Zhou Yimo had already seen his wife fight fourteen people alone, so he was not worried at all that she would get hurt.

He had never seen Yunying and the others, and thought they were also killers.

He was still thinking in his mind, if his wife killed them later, how would he trick Xie Xuan'an and hold him back so that his wife could make the bodies disappear?

Seeing Xie Xuan'an asking him at this time, he was slightly startled and said casually: "Oh! My wife is indeed extraordinary."

Xie Xuan'an was speechless. He looked at Zhou Yimo resentfully and didn't want to talk.

At this time, Li Qingqing and Yun Ying had already entered the room one after another.

Xie Xuanan quickly walked over and said with a smile, "You two, this is a complete misunderstanding!"

As he spoke, he introduced Li Qingqing and Yun Ying to each other.

Only then did Li Qingqing realize that the man who had attacked her was actually Mu Yunjing's shadow guard.

She raised her eyebrows and said in a playful tone:

"Oh? It seems you have good skills! You almost stabbed me through the heart!"

Only then did Yun Ying realize that Li Qingqing was the helper hired by Young Master Xie, and she had mistaken her for an assassin.

Her face flushed, and she bowed to Li Qingqing to apologize:

"Miss Li, I am not as skilled as you. Thank you for showing mercy."

Li Qingqing waved her hand. She understood this. Showing up outside in night clothes in the middle of the night meant that someone was either a traitor or a thief, and had ulterior motives, didn't he?

Li Qingqing said she didn't mind.

After she informed the county magistrate of what she had discovered tonight, she had to hurry home.

It is only an hour away from dawn. Calculating the days, Yang the Butcher's nephew will come to see her after dawn, and the two will discuss the sale of the prey.

Since most of the men have been conscripted, there are now fewer men in Lihua Village and more women. The Zhou family cannot bear to be talked about by them every day.

The people in the village now know that she can hunt, all because her cousin is wholeheartedly helping the Zhou family, teaching her hunting, and teaching Dashuang and Xiaoshuang martial arts.

You probably won't be surprised to learn later that her family often sells game.

As long as the family has a legitimate business, no one will gossip when the family buys a car or builds a new house, or when Zhou Yimo spends money on taking the imperial examination.

Seeing that everyone's misunderstanding was resolved, Xie Xuan'an was anxious to know the good news about Li Qingqing's previous night visit to the Liu family mansion, so he quickly arranged for everyone to sit down and have tea.

Li Qingqing was still holding the weapon in her hand at this time. Since the weapon had been exposed to everyone before, she couldn't just take it back into the space.

She knew Zhou Yimo might have some doubts, but she couldn't care less at this moment.

She glanced at Zhou Yimo and placed it generously on the small table beside her.

I thought that at most Zhou Yimo was the only one who had doubts.

Zhou Yimo was sitting next to her, and this time he could see the spear clearly.

He was a little surprised, but he didn't ask anything and his face remained calm.

Xie Xuan'an was getting a little anxious at this point. He looked at Li Qingqing and asked, "Miss Li, did you find any account books at Mr. Liu's house?"

Li Qingqing shook her head, "There is no account book in the secret room."

It is indeed the truth, there is only silver and weapons.

As for the silver, she threw it into the space and left the weapon there untouched.
