Chapter Six: Perils Abound
The government has ordered it, how dare we ordinary people say no."As the shopkeeper spoke, Qin Luoyan picked up a light blue robe and held it up against Wu Yi's body. "Brother Shixiong," she said,...Qin Luo's face showed no surprise, but inwardly she was astonished. This man was clearly a young man, not someone in his fifties as he appeared.
The more someone hides their identity, the more dangerous they are.
The old man came to his senses, picked up the wine jug and poured her another cup, "You have a good tolerance for alcohol, young brother."
Qin Luoyan responded with a sound, raised her head to finish the cup, then stepped back from the table, "The sky is getting late, Old Master... it's better to go back and rest earlier. I'll also return to my room."
She just wants to live quietly in this world, so she can't afford to provoke dangerous people and things, she can only avoid them.
A hint of surprise flashed across the old man's face, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing, only nodding slightly and saying, "Good."
However, his gaze lingered on Qin Luoyan, unable to be withdrawn. As she turned, snowflakes landed on her hair as black as ink, dotting it like stars, a dreamy and enchanting sight.
Night, increasingly icy and piercing.
After three candles had been replaced, Wutong was beginning to feel exhausted, but she still persisted in sitting on the wooden chair by the door.
"Miss, you said the madam was going to attack us, but it's already past three watches. Why hasn't she come yet" Wutong kept looking towards the door, the room tightly shut, showing no sign of anything unusual.
Qin Luoyan heard her words and smiled wryly, shaking her head. "You've made the house so bright, who would dare come Listen to me, put out the candles and lie down in bed."
"But..." Wutong's face was slightly pale, and after a long while she trembled and uttered two words, "I'm afraid..."
Qin Luoyan sighed and gently stroked Wutong's head. After all, she was still a teenager. Facing such a life-and-death moment, it was inevitable that she would be afraid.
But some growth always requires firsthand experience.
So Qin Luoyan didn't speak again, but walked straight to the candlestick and blew out the candle. The entire room instantly plunged into complete darkness.
Silence, absolute silence, so profound that even the sound of breathing seemed unnaturally clear.
Half an hour later, a cat meow sounded outside the window.
In almost an instant, Qin Luoyan who was lying in bed opened her eyes.
The nearby catalpa tree, lost in anxious waiting, had fallen asleep unknowingly. Qin Luoyan didn't wake it up, but instead tiptoed to the bedside, a poisoned dagger in her hand gleaming faintly in the darkness.
The person outside seemed cautious. He waited for a while before using a small knife to try and open the windowpane. His movements were very careful, so if he hadn't been prepared in advance, his actions wouldn't have attracted anyone's attention at all.
This is a professional.
Qin Luo'yan couldn't help but sneer. The Chen family was truly willing to spend a fortune to eradicate the roots of their problem.
After a few breaths, the window creaked open silently. The person outside was about to climb in. Qin Luoyan seized the opportunity and plunged the dagger in her hand straight for the man's throat.
The person reacted quickly, dodging to the side the moment they sensed the dagger.
It's a pity that Qin Luoyan at that time was carrying the determination to strike with all her might, so she put all her speed and strength into her attack.
He wouldn't die, and she and Wutong would have to. That's how cruel reality is.
So, she, had no way out!
The masked assassin, as he fell, showed shock in his eyes.
"Haa," Qin Luoyan let out a breath, her hand holding the dagger trembling slightly. Blood dripped from the edge of the blade, falling drop by drop into the darkness, losing its color.
Thank goodness.
If she hadn't seen through Chen's ruthlessness and guessed that she wouldn't let her go so easily, she would have been prepared in advance. Tonight, would be the death date for both her and Wutong.
"Miss, Miss..." Wutong awoke to the sound and gasped when she saw what was happening by the window.
Qin Luoyan came back to her senses, retracted the fleeting nervousness on her face, and tried her best to force a smile. "It's okay now..."
"Be careful!"
In the heart-wrenching roars that ripped through the banyan tree, Qin Luoyan felt a chill run down her spine. When she turned back, she saw a black shadow pouncing towards her.
She wanted to resist with her dagger, but this time the attackers seemed prepared. A simple hand knife easily dodged her dagger.
"You slut, you killed our brother! Today, I'll rip you to shreds!" The man was skilled in martial arts, far beyond Qin Luoyan's ability. She was helpless against him like a bird caught in a net.
Qin Luoyan didn't even see what move he used, and she was already caught with both hands.
To her surprise, there were not one but three people who came this time.
Three professional assassins, Chen really spared no effort!
"Hey, brother, look at this chick's face, she's a real beauty," a masked assassin walked over holding a dagger. Before he could strike, he caught sight of Qin Luoyan's face in the light from the window.
The killer who had Qin Luoyan pinned also leaned forward, a glint of lust in his eyes. "She's really something," he breathed. "Such a delicate figure, softer than any girl from Chun Yue Lou."
"Well then..." the man said with a meaningful smile.
"She killed our brother, shouldn't she pay for it directly Playing with her is not enough to settle the score!" The other person immediately agreed, and even found a seemingly legitimate reason.
Two people discussed and felt that the inn was crowded with too many people, making it inconvenient to do business. They decided to kill Wutong and kidnap someone to leave.
The wutong tree was already terrified, watching as a man in black walked towards him with a dagger.
The cold light of the dagger reflected on her face, making her youthful features even more apparent.
Qin Luo yan helplessly sighed, but a touch of desolate smile appeared on her face. "Wait."
The assassin, holding a dagger, turned back. Her face was impassive as she continued, "She's just a maid, insignificant. Spare her and I won't resist whatever you do to me."
"Not resisting" The two assassins, who had never seen a woman still have the mind to bargain in this situation, momentarily forgot to continue their actions.
"Yes, I can submit without resistance. Let's play! Isn't the most important thing to have fun You kill her, and I'll bite my tongue and commit suicide. If you want to frolic with a corpse, be my guest. She's just a maidservant; releasing her won't affect your reward at all. Spare her, and I'll ensure you have a good time."
Before life and death, unyielding and composed, his face bore only a trace of sorrow.
Such a beauty would captivate any man. The two assassins glanced at each other, both seeing a fiercer desire in the other's eyes.
One person winked, and the other nodded, then put away their dagger.
Qin Luo'yan let out a barely perceptible sigh, then looked at Wutong, whose eyes were already red from crying. She smiled faintly, "Don't cry anymore, in the future, find a good person to live with, if you live happily, it wouldn't be in vain for my sacrifice."
On either side is death, why risk this child's life
