The assassin saw the silver hairpin clearly, sneered, and stabbed the short arrow in his hand a little harder. Chunzhi groaned in pain, and subconsciously grasped the hairpin with his other free hand.

The hairpin was held horizontally by two hands. The assassin looked at the hairpin she took out and said, "Girl, you searched for a long time and only took out a hairpin like this.

The hairpin is so thick and you have so much strength, can you hurt anyone with it?

I'll teach you, next time, choose a thin one, that way it will save effort, um..."

When the assassin was speaking sarcastically, Chunzhi twisted her right hand, pulled out the dagger from the silver hairpin, and stabbed it into the assassin's waist.

While he was speaking, he felt a pain in his waist and the strength in his hands loosened. Chunzhi drew out the dagger, turned around and pushed, putting some distance between himself and the assassin.

The next second, Zhou Qian'an was already close, swung his sword, and killed the man's throat with one blow.

Chunzhi fell to the ground and raised her hand to see the silver dagger in her hand, which was covered in blood. Her hand was also covered in blood and she was shaking with fear.

Luzhu crawled to her side using her hands and feet, took out a handkerchief and covered the wound on her neck, crying so hard that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

There were still sounds of fighting outside. Zhou Qian'an helped Chunzhi up and asked them to hide in the house first. He and Xie Yunxiao went to help.

There was indeed a fight outside. The guards and shadow guards were fighting with others. Everyone living in Huangjue Temple was scared and hid back in their houses. Even the little monks in the temple were alarmed.

When the two of them appeared, the assassins saw Xie Yunxiao and realized that they could not kill him today, so they blew their whistles and retreated.

"It seems that it's not safe here either." Zhou Qian'an supported Xie Yunxiao. Blood was oozing from his right shoulder, probably because the wound had split.

Xie Yunxiao covered his right shoulder and said to Zhou Qian, "I won't wait any longer. Let's go back to Beijing."

"Your injury..."

"It's okay, let's go back to Beijing. We can't stay here anymore."

I was originally planning to leave today, but I don't know if the assassin chose this day specifically, so I was in a hurry to pack up.

Chunzhi had calmed down, and Luzhu had stopped crying. When they saw Zhou Qian'an, they both took their things and got on the carriage.

In the car, Xie Yunxiao's right shoulder was re-medicated and bandaged, and Chunzhi's neck was also bandaged.

Zhou Qian'an was playing with the silver hairpin in his hand. He twisted it to disengage the latch, pulled out the silver dagger, inserted it and twisted it. It was stuck, and it turned out to be a silver hairpin with a pretty shape.

"This is pretty good. Is this yours?" Zhou Qian asked Chunzhi with a smile.

Harue shook her head.

Xie Yunxiao answered the question for her, "This belongs to Jiang Er's sister. Is this Chunzhi's first time using it?"

Harue nodded hurriedly.

"I can see that your girl is more adept at it than you are."

Zhou Qian held up the silver hairpin and asked, "Have you seen it?"

"Well, this second sister uses it to perfection."

After coming here, Zhou Qian'an knew that Xie Yunxiao was saved by Jiang Yuan, and that she had killed several men in black by herself. He also knew that she knew some kung fu, but he had no idea how powerful she was.

He raised his eyebrows at Xie Yunxiao playfully, "Second sister is really so good? Hey, Chunzhi Luzhu, when did your daughter learn Kung Fu?"

Lu Zhu took the silver hairpin from his hand and said naturally and confidently, "My daughter worships a super powerful master, a very mysterious one, not something that ordinary people can see."

Zhou Qian'an became interested, and even Xie Yunxiao was surprised. He was indeed confused in his heart. Jiang Huai must not know martial arts, so why was his sister so powerful?

"Wow, so mysterious? Do you have any reputation in the world?" Zhou Qian asked.

Chunzhi covered her neck and replied calmly, "Those who have a reputation are not powerful. The real masters are those who hide their identities."

The two maids spoke righteously, and Xie Yunxiao felt less doubtful as he listened. The maids who grew up together said so, so it seemed that Jiang Yuan really had an adventure.

When Jiang Yuan returned to Jiang's house, he saw the bandage wrapped around Chunzhi's neck at a glance. After listening to what they said today, he slammed the table in anger, picked up his sword and walked out.

Qu Ying hugged Jiang Yuan and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to kill them."

"Hey, everyone is gone, why are you killing them?"

Chunzhi also stopped Jiang Yuan, "Miss, everyone has left. General Xie has returned to the capital. Those people will definitely not stay in Huangjue Temple."

"No, they are sick, aren't they? Go ahead and kill Xie Yunxiao, why take my Chunzhi as a hostage? You are a man after all. How can you be a hero if you take a woman as a hostage?" Jiang Yuan was so angry that he jumped up and down.

A resentful voice came from the door, "Second sister, please care about me, listen to what you are saying, what do you mean by killing me if you want to..."

Only then did everyone notice Xie Yunxiao standing at the door and Zhou Qian'an who was trying to hold back his laughter.

Xie Yunxiao followed Lu Chuan to the Lu Mansion. Jiang Huai would take the exam in three days, and no one dared to cause trouble at this time.

Chunzhi made several kinds of pickles and put them in a jar. The weather is still cool now, so the food can be kept.

There will be hot water in the examination room, but no meals. Candidates are required to bring enough food for three days, which is basically steamed buns and baked cakes.

Jiang Yuan asked Chunzhi to buy some sesame cakes and cut the braised beef into thick slices.

On the morning of the day Jiang Huai was leaving, Jiang Yuan got up early and Chunzhi, Luzhu and the maids were already busy in the kitchen.

The day before, Jiang Yuan and Chunzhi said that anything can be put into a pancake and wrapped in oil paper. They can eat one at a meal, which is convenient and clean.

Chunzhi wrote down everything and got up early in the morning to start working.

There was a freshly baked pancake in the kitchen, cut into corners. Chunzhi was scrambling eggs while Zhishu was rolling it. They put eggs and braised beef in sauce on a corner of the pancake, put some pickles in it, and wrapped it with oil paper.

Jiang Huai got ready, put on new clothes and new shoes, and he and Liu Chengshan were full of energy.

The servant behind them helped them hold the examination baskets.

Several maids hurried in carrying baskets, and asked the servants to open the examination baskets, take out the oil-paper bags and put them into the examination baskets of the two.

The two looked at them in surprise, and Jiang Yuan explained, "These are made by a few of them early in the morning. They are large pancakes with eggs in them, wrapped in oil paper."

As he spoke, Lu Zhu took out two and handed them to the two of them, "It just so happens that I haven't had breakfast yet, you guys can try them first."

After tearing off the wax paper, you can see the hot pancake rolled with eggs and braised beef. Liu Chengshan took a bite and gave Chunzhi a thumbs up, "It's delicious and very convenient."

As Huanhuan was talking with a smile, Brother Liu had already prepared the carriage to take the two of them to the examination room.

Xie Yunxiao and Zhou Qian'an were already waiting outside the examination room. After speaking to the two, everyone watched Liu Chengshan support the limping Jiang Huai into the examination room.
