Eternal Tranquility

Chapter 3 Night Attack



"Have everyone made arrangements? Tell the lame man to be careful and not to be discovered by the guards of the Fu family." A man's deep voice came from behind the grass on the left.

"Don't worry, boss, everything has been arranged. The cripple is watching and can't find it." Another person replied in a low voice.

"Don't be careless, the Fu family is a tough one, and Fu Qingshan has practiced martial arts to the top. Even though we have gathered more than 80 green forest heroes and hired some desperadoes, we may not be able to grab what the boss ordered us to do!" "The man before whispered again.

"Boss, those hired helpers are a little disobedient..."

"Grandma's! Don't worry about them, just don't make trouble. I'll arrange for those people to rush ahead..."

The two whispered a few more words, and the first man's voice said: "Go and rest now, we will start in the early morning!"

Liu Qinghuan waited for a long time to make sure that the two people had left, and then crawled forward carefully.

He crawled slowly, trying not to make too much noise.

The Fu family chose a place to rest near the mountain wall tonight. The carriages were surrounded in the middle and the outside was full of guards. Because he was close, he quickly climbed up to the guards. At this time, a guard sitting on the stone had noticed the movement. Because he recognized him, he just frowned and looked at him.

Liu Qinghuan crawled to his feet: "Uncle... uncle... please give me something to eat." As he spoke, he struggled to stand up, but failed to stand firmly and fell directly on the guard.

Liu Qinghuan quickly leaned into the guard's ear and whispered: "Go and inform your master, I have something important to tell you!"

The guard wanted to push him away, but when he heard this, he was stunned, grabbed his clothes and cursed: "You little beggar is here to beg for food again! If the master of the house hadn't been a little lenient towards you, I wouldn't have slapped you. "Follow me to see the master, I can't decide whether to give him or not." He took him and walked towards the center.

Arriving at a carriage, the guard knocked on the door lightly, and a low question came from inside. The car door opened, and the head of the Fu family, who was wearing a white undershirt, looked at Liu Qinghuan with a frown.

The guard whispered something into his ear. The head of the Fu family looked at Liu Qinghuan again and said, "Come up."

Liu Qinghuan and his guards got into the carriage. He only repeated the few sentences and scenes he had heard before, without making any assumptions. While the other party was deep in thought, Liu Qinghuan looked inside the carriage with the corner of his eye.

It looks like an ordinary carriage from the outside, but it is very spacious inside. The decoration is comfortable but not luxurious, and it is very stable and deep. There was a quilt on the back, and a small table was fixed in front of the bed, with a candlestick on it and a book spread out.

"Thank you for coming to warn me this time." At this time, the head of the Fu family said, "I wonder what your name is?"

"My surname is Liu, and my name is Qinghuan." Liu Qinghuan hurriedly withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, lowered his head and said, "But I dare not accept your gratitude. If you hadn't allowed me to get close to the carriage along the way, and I had the protection of all the guards, otherwise I would have been I don’t know where I’m starving to death.”

The stern-looking head of the Fu family gradually softened his eyes and spoke a few more words. Then he whispered to the guards to take him down first, presumably to arrange follow-up matters.

The guard took him to another carriage. This time the person who answered the door was a maid in yellow clothes. She was surprised to see Liu Qinghuan. The guard whispered a few words to her and left.

The maid in yellow shirt smiled and let him into the carriage. A dignified and quiet lady was sitting on the mattress on the back bed with her coat on. On the inside of the mattress, a little boy of five or six years old was sleeping soundly.

Mrs. Fu smiled and said: "The place is small, please sit here for a while." She then ordered the maid in yellow clothes to bring him food, looked at his size, and took out a set of green clothes: " This is a new set of clothes that Quanzi made. I originally made them and planned to wear them next year. I’ll try them on to see if they fit.”

Liu Qinghuan sat on the small table by the door and wolfed down the cake. When he heard this, he quickly stopped and refused, looking at the clothes with excellent fabrics, and then thinking about how dirty he was, he became even more ashamed of himself. But the maid in yellow clothes next to her laughed and said, "Do you think the clothes my wife gave me are bad?"

Liu Qinghuan couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. For the first time in these days, he was eighty percent full. He didn't dare to eat more, so he reluctantly wrapped the remaining pastries in paper and put them into a small bag.

When the maid in yellow clothes saw him, she took out another plate of cakes and wrapped them for him. Liu Qinghuan thanked her gratefully, then chose a corner near the car door to sit down, closed her eyes, and waited quietly.

The candles went out and the atmosphere was silent. It was very quiet outside the car. It was still more than two hours before dawn, and I didn't know how the head of the Fu family would respond to the night attack. Liu Qinghuan had many random thoughts in his mind, and fell asleep without realizing it.

He woke up to the sound of killing. The first reaction was to rush to the window, lift a corner of the curtain and look out.

It was the darkest time of night, but countless torches were lit around the Fu family's carriage, illuminating the area as if it were daytime. Liu Qinghuan's heartbeat was beating like a drum. He carefully analyzed the situation outside and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. As expected, the head of the Fu family was not waiting for someone to be idle. Once the torch was illuminated, the gangsters had no chance for a sneak attack. Without the first-mover advantage, the gangsters could only charge forward.

The head of the Fu family was seen wearing a python robe that was swollen by the body-protecting energy. When the sword struck his body, he heard a series of "dang-dang-dang" sounds like knocking on the iron stone, but no one was hurt. He wielded a large knife and almost killed a person with one blow.

The other guards are also extremely powerful. They can fight one against two with ease. Liu Qinghuan put down his snack for a while, but suddenly he saw a bright light flashing in the distance. It was an iron arrow that penetrated the clouds and the moon, and shot straight at the back of the head of the Fu family.

At the same time, several figures emerged from the crowd and rushed towards the head of the Fu family. As soon as these people took action, they knew that they were highly skilled martial artists, and they actually tied him to death on the spot.

Liu Qinghuan was anxious and was about to shout a warning when he saw a person flying up from the side, hitting the head of the person below, flying out diagonally, and the sword in his hand struck out like a thunderbolt!

The iron arrow that came with the killing intent was hit by the broadsword, bursting out a dazzling spark, and then deviated from the direction. At the same time, a scream was heard in the distance, and the person who was hiding in the dark and shooting arrows was found dead.

The next situation began to turn one sided. As the Fu family's advantage became greater and greater, Liu Qinghuan also let go of his worries. Only then did he notice that there were several guards guarding their carriage, protecting it tightly.

Liu Qinghuan stared at the horse in front of the car in a daze. He knew that the Fu family brought many horses and had made a living by killing horses along the way, but he didn't expect that there were still horses at this moment. I saw that the horse was completely maroon, and even though it was skinny, you could still see its former majestic style. It was tethered in front of the car very quietly, chewing hay on the ground slowly, and paying no attention to the beatings and killings around it.

"Brother is awake, come and have something to eat." Mrs. Fu said from behind him, beckoning him over.

Liu Qinghuan turned around, feeling finally relaxed and able to take a leisurely look inside the car.

The maid in yellow shirt was also looking out from the window, with a nervous look on her round face from time to time. Mrs. Fu was neatly dressed and sat calmly watching the young master of the Fu family eat.

The child was about six or seven years old. He was smart and cute, with a pair of flexible eyes that moved around. When his mother turned around or wasn't paying attention, he would open the curtains and take a look outside. Liu Qinghuan looked at him and winked at him.

Liu Qinghuan sat opposite the young master of the Fu family and smiled sheepishly at the maid in yellow clothes who brought him food.

The shouts of killing outside gradually subsided. Most of the invading gangsters were killed on the spot. The guards did not chase the ones that ran away quickly. They dragged the corpses on the ground into a pile one by one, preparing to burn them later. .

Liu Qinghuan was eating and thinking about the next step. I wonder if he would ask the head of the Fu family to accept him as a servant and whether he would be willing to do so... While he was lost in thought, the carriage suddenly shook wildly.
