Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

Everyone hurriedly looked out the window and saw chaos on the street. A group of men in black were brandishing swords and knives, confronting a group of soldiers. The leader of the men in black was tall and had fierce eyes, exuding a chilling aura.

"Who are these people? Why are they causing trouble here?" Little Swallow asked in fear.

Xiao Jian's expression was solemn as he stared intently at the men in black. He said, "Judging from their appearance, they don't seem to be ordinary bandits. They might be connected to that mysterious organization."

"Could they be after us?" Yongqi asked warily.

"Whether they're coming for us or not, we can't just sit idly by," Er Kang said, preparing to rush out.

Xiao Jian reached out to stop Er Kang: "Don't rush. We don't yet know their purpose and strength. If we go out rashly, we might fall into their trap."

At this moment, Liu Qing and Liu Hong also arrived at the group's side. Looking at the scene outside the window, Liu Hong said angrily, "These people are too arrogant, daring to cause trouble in the capital!"

"Liu Qing, go and close the main gate of Huibinlou and strengthen security. Liu Hong, go and take good care of the guests in the shop and don't let them be frightened," Xiao Jian quickly instructed.

"Yes!" Liu Qing and Liu Hong responded in unison, and then went to carry out their respective tasks.

Looking at the men in black outside the window, Qing'er said worriedly, "They are numerous and seem well-trained. The soldiers are probably no match for them."

“We can’t just stand by and watch our officers and soldiers suffer losses; we have to come up with a solution,” Yongqi said.

Xiao Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go out the back door, circle around behind the men in black, and give them a surprise attack."

"Great idea!" Yongqi and Erkang both nodded in agreement.

So, the group cautiously exited through the back door of the reception building and circled around to the back of the men in black. At this moment, the soldiers and the men in black were locked in a stalemate, with both sides on the verge of drawing their swords, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Make your move!" Xiao Jian ordered in a low voice.

The crowd immediately rushed forward and attacked the man in black. Caught off guard by the sudden attack from behind, the man in black was thrown into disarray.

"Who are you people? How dare you ruin our plans!" the leader of the men in black roared.

"Who we are is not important. What's important is that you won't be able to cause any trouble here today!" Xiao Jian shouted.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. Xiao Jian wielded his flute and sword with swift and deadly moves, felling the men in black one after another. Yongqi and Erkang were not to be outdone, and they fought a desperate battle with the men in black.

Although Little Swallow's martial arts skills were inferior to the others, she still picked up a wooden stick and cheered them on from the sidelines. Qing'er, meanwhile, was busy tending to the wounded soldiers.

After a fierce battle, the men in black gradually lost ground and began to retreat. Seeing the situation was dire, the leader of the men in black shouted, "Retreat!" and then led his men in a hasty escape.

"Don't let them get away!" Yongqi shouted.

"Don't pursue a cornered enemy. Let's first assess the casualties among our officers and soldiers," Xiao Jian said.

Everyone quickly checked the soldiers' injuries. Fortunately, most of them only suffered minor injuries and were otherwise unharmed.

"Thank you all for your help, heroes. Otherwise, we would have been in danger today," a soldier leader said gratefully.

"You're welcome, it's what we should do. Do you know who these men in black are?" Xiao Jian asked.

The officer in charge shook his head: "We don't know either. They suddenly rushed out and started slashing at anyone they saw. We rushed over as soon as we received the news and have only managed to hold them off until now."

Xiao Jian frowned slightly, pondering to himself: Could these men in black really be related to a mysterious organization? If so, why would they cause trouble near Huibinlou?

"It seems this matter is getting more and more complicated," Yongqi said.

"No matter what, we must be careful. Although they have retreated this time, there's no guarantee they won't come back," Er Kang said.

When everyone returned to Huibinlou, Liu Qing and Liu Hong had already calmed the customers down. They all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing everyone return safely.

"Are you alright?" Liu Hong asked with concern.

"It's alright, we've already driven those men in black away," Yongqi said.

"That's good. Today was really dangerous," Liu Hong said.

At this moment, Little Swallow suddenly said, "Brother Xiao Jian, I think these men in black are definitely related to that mysterious organization. Do they know we're investigating them, which is why they want to deal with us?"

Xiao Jian nodded: "That's possible. It seems our investigation has attracted their attention; we need to be even more careful from now on."

"So what should we do next?" Qing'er asked.

Xiao Jian pondered for a moment and said, "We will still follow the original plan and take the initiative. But this time we need to be more cautious and develop a detailed plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Okay, we'll all listen to you," everyone said in unison.

So, everyone gathered at the reception hall to discuss their next plan. Meanwhile, what exactly was that mysterious organization plotting? How would they deal with the challenges to come? Everything remained uncertain…
