She had just thought of the path she would take in the future. If she died at this time without any reason, it would be a huge loss.

At this moment, the sound of a sharp weapon whistling through the air came. The person in front of him flipped a somersault in the air, then stopped in his tracks and dropped to one knee on the ground.

Chu Yuehua hid within the pavilion, trying her best to hide herself behind the walls. Only after that did she dare to open her eyes wide and look at the situation outside.

When she looked, she almost cried out. It was only then that she could see that the man was not alone. His hands were still holding a child, and this child was very familiar to her.

Who else could it be other than Ma Junjie, who played around with her every day?

"Put the child down! We will let you live! "

The person's voice sounded very familiar. It belonged to the lackadaisical person who followed closely behind him. There were also a few men behind him. They were most likely his sons and guards.

The man in front was wearing night clothes and his face was covered by a black cloth, so it was impossible to tell his appearance. "You don't have the qualifications to negotiate with me. Don't force me, or I'll strangle this kid."

As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around Ma Junjie's neck.

From the looks of it, Ma Junjie had fainted without any movement.

"Wait a minute, this little grandson of mine has some spiritual energy and needs to rely on his fame. Why did a brave man come here? Why not say it directly, if we can do our best, we just want to protect my grandson's safety."

As expected, he highly valued this grandson of his, so his attitude immediately changed.

"I want a lot of things." Ma Zhuang took out a pen and paper and recorded everything down. After you collect all the things and send them to my designated place, this child's life will be taken back. "What do you think of Ma Zhuang?"

The man, who was originally in a sorry state from the chase, now looked very calm, as if he wasn't the one being surrounded.

Gradually, there were servants chasing after them, holding torches in their hands. The torches covered the snowy light, making Chu Yuehua seem relatively safer. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

Under the light of the fire, Ma Zhuang's expression was extremely unsightly as if he was considering something.

"I wonder what kind of difficult things Brave Warriors want?" "Why don't you say it first and let us think about it and see if we can do it?"

The one who spoke was similar to Ma Zhuang, but a lot younger. Looking at his age, he was probably Ma Junjie's father.

"I didn't bargain with you guys. Even if you can do it, you have to do it. Even if you can't, you have to do it. Otherwise, you can just collect the corpse of this grandson of yours!"

As he spoke, he tightened his grip on Ma Junjie's neck, causing the originally unconscious Ma Junjie to show signs of awakening.

Looking at his grandson's sad expression, Ma Hu couldn't be bothered anymore. He quickly waved his hand and said, "What conditions do you have? Just say it, we will do our best."

Hearing this, the man laughed sinisterly, "If that's the case, then listen carefully. First, prepare a million taels of silver for me."

His tone was a little arrogant, and it felt extremely uncomfortable to hear. However, he couldn't care about that right now, so he could only frown and nod his head.

"But give us some time. We don't have that much money on us, and we still need to seek help from our friends from all sides."

"I don't care!" The man sneered before extending two fingers, "Second .."

As soon as the word "second" came out of his mouth, it was as if the feeling of "two" was still in his throat.

Chu Yuehua was startled, and her sloppy character was the same.

Then he saw Ma Junjie fall limply out of his embrace into the cold snow and then hazily open his eyes.

"Junjie!" The man beside him hurriedly shouted.

"Which expert?" It was still Hu Hu who reacted first. He shouted out towards the night sky, "Thank you for saving me!"

But no one answered him. The son next to him bravely walked over and quickly picked his son up. Before he left, he kicked the man, but the man was already on the ground, as if he no longer had any signs of life.

At this time, Hu Pao also walked over and stretched out his hand towards the man. After that, he looked at his son with a solemn expression, "He's dead!"

"What a strong inner strength, what a strong poison."

"This person's martial arts are strong, but he was still unable to escape from that person's poisonous needles. There aren't many people with such strength in the martial arts world!" Ma Hu looked into the night sky and pondered, "Could it be that there are experts we don't know about in our small farmlands?"

The son shook his head and stayed silent for a while before saying, "No matter what, it's good as long as Junjie is fine. If we can find that savior, then we'll think of a way to repay his kindness."

"That's all we can do for now!" Nodding his head carelessly, he looked at his grandson who was still in a daze, smiling as he rubbed his head, "This child will definitely have a blessing in disguise if he doesn't die from calamity! "Let's go back and see if the child is injured. He is a reckless person, and his attacks are not serious. He might be secretly injured."

"Then he .."

Ma Junjie's father pointed at the black clothed man who was now a corpse on the ground.

"Have people bury him as soon as possible. His whereabouts are unknown, so we can only blame him for being too careless and not alerting the others. Miss is still at the manor, be careful. Tomorrow night we will have more people on our patrol."

"Yes sir!"

Only after they had all left did Chu Yuehua appear from the darkness. Because she had been maintaining this posture for a long time, her four limbs were somewhat numb.

The place where the corpse was originally lying on was just a messy patch of snow. By tomorrow, nothing could be seen.

Never would she have thought that she would encounter such a situation once. Chu Yuehua tightened her cloak and quickened her steps to return.

However, she kept feeling that there was an indescribable fragrance in the air.

The next day, Auntie Liu said Ma Junjie had caught a slight chill and was unable to come for the next two days.

Chu Yuehua knew that it was because of last night's incident, but with such a secretive matter, it was unlikely that even Aunty Liu would know of it. Thus, there was no need for her to ask any further.

It was just that outside of Ma Junjie's chills, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the entire manor. Everyone was still immersed in the joy of the coming new year.
