The Ban family guards who woke up at night were dispatched at the same time. They didn't even have time to put on their clothes before they rushed out with their swords. In an instant, the sound of fighting could be heard from all over the courtyard.

During the process, a huge sound came from outside, and Qingshuang, who was staying outside, woke up immediately. She looked around again in shock, but a red light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes.

Qingshuang opened her eyes in disbelief: "Little——"

"Shh!" Lou Xiyue hurried forward and put her index finger on Qingshuang's lips. She shook her head and signaled with her eyes: don't make any sound.

Qingshuang even covered her mouth, but the shock in her eyes lingered for a long time. She obeyed without saying a word, but there was a "boom" in her head:

Why is the lady holding a sword? Where did the sword come from?

Why does the young lady look so calm, as if she already knew there would be a sneak attack by thieves tomorrow night?

What is the lady planning to do? She is not a wealthy lady, how can she hold such a scary thing like a sword!

A terrible suspicion came to Qingshuang's mind - could the young lady be overly stimulated by the marriage? She couldn't think about it anymore and wanted to commit suicide with a sword. She was very inactive and was interrupted by the sneak attack, right?

Lou Xiyue didn't know if Qingshuang was filled with ridiculous conjectures. She opened a crack in the wooden window and planned to go outside to see what was going on.

However, as soon as she made a move, Qingshuang suddenly grabbed her forearm, stared at her with tears in her eyes, and shook her head repeatedly: Miss, don't let your mind wander!

Lou Xiyue:???

When the two were in a stalemate, a fire suddenly lit up in the courtyard.

Chaotic sounds approached from various places towards the guest room where they were waiting, followed by the sound of fighting with clanging swords: "They are there to deal with it, Zhou Yang, let's go and protect the lady!"

At the same time, there was a sound of kicking footsteps on the wooden stairs outside the guest room, and among them there was a man shouting harshly: "Damn it, where is the bride?"

"Brother, if you are over there, Miss Ban must be there!"

"Search quickly, don't let anyone escape!"

"You can't run away. You are a weak woman. She is as timid as a mouse. She must have been hiding in the house shivering at that time. How dare she run away."

The thief secretly rejoiced, and as soon as he finished his arrogant words, the wooden window on one side of the corridor was suddenly scratched by the light of the sword!

Hearing a "clang" sound, Zhou Yangluan broke through the window and came in: "Bold maniac, he is so wild that he spreads his wild behavior to the whole family! There is no one in the class at that time?! Give them all to him, kill them on the spot!"

The guards called out the guy at the same time: "Kill!"

The thief was wearing night clothes and a black scarf on his face, revealing a pair of fierce eyes: "The Ban family guard really has a lot of money, so he came to meet us! Drink! -"

Zhou Yang was afraid of hurting Lou Xiyue, so he deliberately diverted the battlefield. A moment later, two groups of people fought from the corridor outside the guest room to the backyard.

After they left, another group of men in black quietly sneaked in through the broken window. They moved carefully and did not alert anyone else from beginning to end.

On the other side, Qingshuang heard the thief outside the corridor being led away by Zhou Yang and others, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay..." She turned around, and Xiyue showed a comforting smile:

"It's okay, Miss. With Zhou Yang and the others here, Miss, you won't be hurt in the slightest. Bu Nao is really scary. His heart is beating loudly, and his legs are not sweating at all..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden "click" from the door - the latch fell off.

In an instant, Qingshuang was frightened. She had no time to think, so she pushed Lou Xiyue toward the window, and at the same time pulled the screen over to cover it: "Run away!"

Immediately, she pulled the bride's wedding dress and put it on herself.

In a flash of lightning, the guest room was pushed away from the outside, and Qing Shuang's heart almost jumped into her throat.

She was distracted and glanced at the window, only to see Lou Xiyue stopped there without moving.

Qingshuang was horrified and immediately walked out. She said loudly: "Who among us broke into his room for nuclear purposes?"

Lou Xiyue didn't know what Hong Qingshuang meant by this move, so she stretched out her legs to stop her: "Qing——"

"If we dare to hurt him, his grandfather will beg for our lives!" Qingshuang scolded.

Hearing this, Lou Xiyue immediately understood what she was begging for - the man in black came for "Ban Xiyu", and Qingshuang was willing to be the scapegoat in order to protect her.

Lou Xiyue was greatly shocked. She thought to herself whether the maid beside Ban Xiyu was really loyal and could protect her master, and she could actually do that.

At that time, the man in black who broke into the guest room suddenly came forward, with his long sword glowing coldly placed on Qingshuang's neck.

The thief asked in a cold voice: "Am I Miss Ban, Ban Xiyu?"

Qingshuang: "That's right. What are we asking for? If it's gold and silver, he can give it to me. But if there's nothing else... the Ban family guards are outside. They've surrounded us. We can't escape.

.”

The man in black looked at Qingshuang with sharp eyes, as if to verify the authenticity of her words. The people around him lit fire folding bags and whispered: "She is wearing a wedding dress, I think Ban Xiyu can't be wrong."

The man in black immediately sneered and said to Qingshuang: "Whether they can escape or not, I don't need to worry about it. Since I don't like Ban Xiyu, then let's go with them."

Qingshuang was so scared that she stepped back: "He doesn't..."

Unable to tolerate her resistance, the man in black dropped the knife on his leg and Qingshuang fainted immediately.

The moment Qingshuang fell, Lou Xiyue raised her sword and begged to kill her. However, at that moment of lightning, a leg stretched out from behind and grabbed her wrist.

Lou Xiyuedong realized she wanted to fight back, but the person next to her silently gestured: "Miss, stop him."

No Zhou Yang.

Lou Xiyue quietly hid the sword in his sleeve.

Zhou Yang's eyesight was very good, so he naturally spotted the translucent dagger at a glance.

Both sides were silent.

Lou Xiyue did not expect that Zhou Yang would hide there quietly, nor did she expect that the dagger he carried would be discovered by the wrong party. Otherwise, she was careless and paid attention to the movements of Qingshuang, but she easily allowed Zhou Yang to get close.

body.

Did the wrong party find out whether she was impersonating Ban Xiyu?

While they were watching silently, a sharp whistle suddenly came from high in the distance. When Lou Xiyue turned around, Qingshuang and the men in black had disappeared from the room.

At this time, the fighting in the courtyard was still continuing.

Across several high walls, Lou Xiyue heard the group of men in black still fighting with the Ban family guards.

Zhou Yang turned his head and took a look and said: "The thieves are coming for our wedding party. Those thieves just lured them away deliberately, so they took the lady away. Fortunately, he found it early and came back in time.

.

"This place is dangerous. To ensure safety, I will escort the young lady to a safe place."

Lou Xiyue said: "He doesn't care about anything. Qingshuang was taken away by them, and I went to save them."

Zhou Yang: "Is it Dong's duty to protect the safety of the young lady?"

I mean, the safety of others is not more important than Lou Xiyue's life. He will not save a little maid.

Lou Xiyue looked at him expressionlessly for a moment, then took a step back. She clung to the edge of the window, turned over from the roof and returned to the room. She said: "He won't go anywhere except there. Since Zhou Guard doesn't want to go

To save someone, stay outside the house until the thief leaves."

After speaking, Lou Xiyue closed the door and window with a bang.

Zhou Yang glanced at the closed doors and windows for a few times, and then he did his duty and quietly stood guard around the guest room.

He had no intention of exploring the reason why Ban Xiyu carried a sword, and he was more concerned about whether she was good at martial arts. He wanted to know whether the person inside was the only daughter of the Ban family, and the person whom Master Ban had ordered to protect.

He just needs to protect people and doesn't need to worry about anything else.

However, at this moment, Miss Ban, who was determined to protect him, dug out her luggage, pulled out a set of dark clothes and put them on.

Lou Xiyue held two swords, one long and one short, and then wrapped them in a black sword bag and tied them to her body. She glanced at the door and window, and then jumped on the beam.

At a moment's notice, she turned her legs over and held the short and delicate dagger in her palm. When pushed by an external force, the dagger pried open an exit on the roof.

Lou Xiyue flew up and kicked the wooden board open, using her strength to perform Qinggong, she jumped to the empty room where the partition was in the blink of an eye. She turned around and glanced at the empty house in the east, then ran into the corridor, leaped over the eaves, and looked for the man in black.

left the traces.

Zhou Yang was waiting outside the guest room when he accidentally heard a strange noise coming from the room. He asked a few questions, but no one in the room responded. He looked around carefully and found no one entering or leaving the guest room.

Is it an illusion?

When I was distracted, another whistle came from the inn in the air. After a while, the sound of fighting in the front yard suddenly stopped. After a while, a guard came to report:

"Manager Zhou, the thief has left. They checked and found that the dowry is not missing, but the brothers suffered some minor injuries."

Zhou Yang frowned: "They just left like that?"

"No. It's very strange. Just now they were so unyielding and lingering even after the damage was over half done. Why did they suddenly retreat now? It's confusing."

Zhou Yang also felt strange. He ordered: "Take all the brothers east to heal their injuries first, and then he will ask the lady for instructions."

He intuitively felt that it would not be easy for the thieves to attack at night tomorrow night. He also thought of the strange noise coming from Miss Cai's room just now, and felt uneasy in his heart. Without caring about the etiquette of master and servant, Zhou Yang immediately pushed open the door of Lou Xiyue's room.

He strode into the room, but what he saw was an empty room.

When the building was empty, a large hole was pried out in the partition above the beam. There was an unoccupied empty room at the entrance.

Zhou Yang knew very well that during his stay, he did not see anyone entering or leaving the lady's guest room. This meant that the lady did not leave on her own because she was not being ignored.

The reason for her departure can also be guessed - she asked to rescue the maid Qingshuang who was taken away by the men in black.

Zhou Yang thought for a while and soon came up with the wrong strategy.
