After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

The village suddenly heard the cry of children, and the angry questioning and scolding of the children's family members.

A flash of cold light flashed, and the long knife came across. The villagers questioning and scolding opened their eyes wide in fear.

Just as the sharp blade was about to cut through the villager's neck, a steel ball flew with great force and accurately hit the hand of the knife holder.

The man only felt his wrist go numb, and the hand holding the knife subconsciously loosened his grip. The long knife that was about to cut into the villager's neck lost its strength and fell to the ground with a "clang", splashing a few flowers of melted snow. Mud flower.

The air seemed to be stagnant for two seconds, and there was no sound in the entire clearing.

Suddenly, the man's howl of pain rang out, and the stagnant time ended with an unbearable roar that reached the extreme of endurance.

The villagers who had just questioned and scolded hurriedly ran back with their children in their arms, and did not stop until they were behind the woman holding the slingshot.

"Village Chief." The family felt at ease after seeing her.

Qin Yao turned around and nodded to the child who was too scared to cry, and waved her hand to signal all the villagers to go home.

The villagers did not hesitate at all and immediately hid in their homes, leaving only a thin door crack exposed to observe the situation outside.

Yin Le glanced at the master, nodded to Awangna, and asked him to lead the four Dalang brothers and sisters back.

Awang nodded, knowing what the consequences would be if his life experience was exposed, he picked up the twins and motioned to Da Lang Erlang to follow him and go home first.

Soon, only two women, Qin Yao and Yin Le, were left in the open space, facing an entire group of cold black cavalry.

The man who was shot finally stopped howling, got off his horse, picked up the knife on the ground, and wanted to rush towards Qin Yao.

But before he took two steps, he was stopped by the leader.

Yin Le glanced at the person who spoke in surprise, and immediately turned to Qin Yao and said, "Master, he is the man named Bai who lives in Shopkeeper Fan's inn."

As soon as Yin Le finished speaking, the man cast his sharp eyes towards the master and apprentice.

"Are you the female village head of Liujia Village?" Bai He asked tentatively.

The plain facial features are a bit more domineering due to the black knight costume.

Qin Yao only glanced at him indifferently and did not answer.

He stared at the man holding the knife and stepped forward step by step. The murderous aura poured out without any concealment. He seemed to be looking at a dead man.

The other party thought she was going to make a move, so he held the knife in front of him very fearfully. When he lifted the knife, he touched the wrist that had just been hit by a marble. The pain was so heartbreaking that he almost couldn't hold the knife.

Qin Yao curled her lips sarcastically, bent down to pick up the fallen steel ball, wiped the muddy water on the corner of her clothes, and retreated to the roadside.

"There are many elderly people and children in the village, so they move slowly. It's better for you to be careful when moving." She raised her head and said calmly.

That look made it seem as if the person with murderous eyes just now was not her.

Bai He narrowed his eyes deeply, feeling that this woman made him uncomfortable no matter how he looked at her, but he was not here this time for these lowly people.

There are important things at hand, and the other party's attitude is that as long as the villagers are not harmed, it doesn't matter to him, Bai He can't do anything to her.

He glanced at the erratic subordinate, urged the horses, led the men and horses, passed in front of Qin Yao's master and apprentice, and continued towards the house in the deepest part of the village.

"Master?" Yin Le watched the group of people walking away and looked at the master worriedly, "Should we follow them and take a look?"

Qin Yao nodded and walked away.

Yin Le felt relieved and hurriedly followed.

The master did not return home last night, and he should be accompanying Mr. Gongliang in the Lotus Courtyard at this moment. It would be bad if the master stopped the group of people from taking away Mr. Gongliang.

The master and the apprentice strode behind Bai He and others. Bai He noticed the two of them, frowned deeply, and looked at the master and apprentice with a very unkind look, quite warning.

However, when they arrived near the Lotus Courtyard, the two men stopped and did not continue moving forward.

I guess I was worried about causing trouble to the village, so I followed them to check the situation. It didn't seem like I wanted to thwart their posture.

When Bai He saw the two of them stopped and stopped following, he withdrew his gaze and waved to his men.

Soon, all the black knights quickly dispersed and surrounded all the entrances and exits of the entire lotus courtyard.

Everyone in Lianyuan had already noticed the movement outside. Seeing this scene, Shitou Agu and other Qi family guards immediately rushed out of the gate and stopped Bai He and others who wanted to break into the house.

As soon as the two sides met, they were in a tense posture. They drew their weapons and pointed them at each other. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

In the courtyard, Liu Ji and Qi Xianguan were guarding Gong Liangxiao on the left and right, their eyes filled with nervousness.

The incident happened suddenly. Qi Xianguan and Liu Ji, who had already known the news, had completely different reactions. The young man looked at Gong Liangliao with some discomfort, thinking that it was the teacher's own choice. He endured it again and again, but still couldn't help but asked in a low voice. :

"Teacher, are you really leaving?"

Hearing this, Gong Liangliao sneered lowly, "It's not what I wanted."

He did not blame his disciple for doubting him, but just smiled bitterly. He did not expect the prince's people to arrive so quickly.

He should have thought of this situation a long time ago. The moment he saw Zhen Yubai, he should have thought of today's situation.

He raised his turbid eyes and looked outside the courtyard. When he saw the well-equipped black knight and the Qi family guards who were wearing ordinary clothes and not even a pair of soft armor, the old man shook his head without any expectation.

"Jingxuan, ask your people to retreat. They are no match for the Black Cavalry." Gong Liangliao ordered Qi Xianguan.

Qi Xianguan was horrified and did not order Shitou and others to retreat as instructed by the teacher. He only knew that since it was not what the teacher wanted, then as a disciple, he should comply with the teacher's wish and protect his old man.

The young man looked at Liu Ji anxiously, "Junior brother, didn't you just say that Madam is definitely on her way here? If Madam takes action, then there is no need to be afraid of these black riders."

The latter sentence is for Gong Liangxiao. I hope the teacher can rest assured that as long as the old man doesn't want to leave, the apprentice will definitely protect him.

Liu Ji was too flustered to look into Qi Xianguan's expectant eyes. He knew Qin Yao's attitude last night. If she said she didn't care, she would definitely not take action.

But Liu Ji couldn't help but crane his neck and look out, thinking what if, what if the hard-hearted evil woman softened her heart!

But his rationality told him that if he offended the noble people, the entire Liujia Village, with more than 200 people, would be completely ruined.

Liu Ji was very conflicted at the moment. He was afraid that Qin Yao would not come, but he was also afraid that she would actually come.

Seeing that the two parties at the door were about to take action, Liu Ji suddenly had a sudden idea and looked down at Gong Liangxiao, "Teacher, why don't you pretend to leave with them first, and when we get out of Liujia Village, I will take my wife to rescue them." you!"

In this way, there is no need to worry about implicating the entire Liujia Village. Liu Ji simply loved that his clever mind could come up with such a clever plan.

Qi Xianguan frowned after hearing such a clever plan. Just now, he only thought about letting his wife solve the current predicament. Now after hearing Liu Ji's words, he suddenly remembered that there were villagers in Liujia Village.
