As he spoke these words, everyone was startled, then simultaneously drew their weapons.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became tense and confrontational.

Zhou Huai’an’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly pulled Zhao Yuan down. He was extremely shrewd and, unless absolutely necessary, was unwilling to confront them head-on. Then, he turned to look at Jia Ting and said, “My brother here has had too much to drink. Don’t mind him, everyone, please continue drinking.”

Jia Ting’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and he spoke in a sarcastic tone, “Could it be that this old brother is also interested in the proprietress? Otherwise, when Brother Ye got married, no one else was drunk, but you were.”

Zhao Yuan retorted, “I’m happy to. Unlike you spineless lot, who feel nothing when you see a woman.”

“You…”

Jia Ting was about to flare up when one of his subordinates behind him suddenly convulsed and fell limply to the ground.

At this moment, everyone’s nerves were taut, like a strung bow. This unexpected collapse of the guard instantly became the fuse for everything. Everyone stood up abruptly, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to fight at a moment’s notice.

Tie Zhu roared, “Fight! How much longer do we have to endure?”

He Hu also shouted, “You can endure if you want, I’m not enduring anymore.”

“Fight! If we drag this out any longer, the East Factory’s reinforcements will arrive, and then we’ll truly have no chance.”

With the situation escalating to this point, Qiu Mo-yan also agreed to fight, her eyes fixed on Zhou Huai’an.

Zhou Huai’an was inwardly furious, glaring resentfully at Jin Xiang-yu’s room. He felt immense resentment towards Ye Qing-feng. If Ye Qing-feng had followed his plan and extracted the location of the secret passage, everyone could have quietly slipped away. Why would they need to fight?

By now, it was too late for regrets. The two sides were already locked in battle.

Zhou Huai’an flicked the umbrella in his hand, blocking a coming saber. Then, with a gentle twist, he pulled out the umbrella handle, revealing a long sword. It was his famous weapon, the Sword in the Umbrella.

With the long sword in hand, Zhou Huai’an’s aura immediately surged, and he effortlessly dealt with two guards.

Then, he instructed two constables, “You two go upstairs, take the children, and leave first. We’ll hold back the East Factory men.”

The two constables exchanged glances, knowing that their martial arts were weak and they wouldn’t be much help here. Most importantly, they didn’t want to lose their lives. Taking the children and leaving first was undoubtedly the best option for them.

Two East Factory guards broke away, intending to pursue them.

Jia Ting reprimanded, “Don’t mind them, hold back Zhou Huai’an.”

Jin Xiang-yu had quietly slipped back into her room by now.

In the room, Ye Qing-feng held his wine cup, still calm and composed, as if everything happening downstairs had nothing to do with him.

Jin Xiang-yu slumped onto the couch, her face full of bewilderment. She said, “I really don’t understand you. Aren’t you friends with them? If you made a move, those East Factory guys would have long since pissed their pants.” She paused slightly, then added, “However, the East Factory is powerful. Even the garrison general trembles at the mention of the East Factory’s name. It’s not strange that you don’t want to offend them.”

The commander of Longmen Garrison was Jin Xiang-yu’s old acquaintance, allowing her to establish herself here.

Ye Qing-feng glanced at her, then stood up expressionlessly.

“What do you want to do?”

Seeing him move, Jin Xiang-yu instantly scurried further in like a mouse.

However, Ye Qing-feng ignored her and walked directly to the wall. He simply raised his hand and gently swiped, and the wall was easily cut open like paper. The room next door was where Qiu Mo-yan and the others were staying.

Jin Xiang-yu breathed a sigh of relief and grumbled, “Why don’t you use the door? The downstairs is already in shambles, and you still…”

The two constables heard the commotion and turned around abruptly. Before they could speak, their acupoints were struck.

Ye Qing-feng walked up to the two children, stroked their little heads, and smiled, “Don’t be afraid, it’ll be over soon.”

With that, he turned and went downstairs.

At this moment, the hall was in a fierce battle, and no one noticed him. The two sides were evenly matched and held nothing back, blood had already been shed. Ye Qing-feng held his wine cup, watching the scene before him as if it were a play.

Just then, the ground vibrated slightly.

Following that, a dense sound of hooves came from outside.

Hearing this sound, the guards immediately became invigorated.

Cao Tian laughed loudly, “Hahahaha, Zhou Huai’an, Lord Shao-qin has arrived, you’re all dead.”

Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound came from the air.

“It’s the Black-Clad Arrow Team’s Sky-Locking Arrow Formation! Everyone, quickly take cover!”

Zhou Huai’an, as an imperial guard instructor, was very familiar with the East Factory’s methods. After shouting, he quickly dodged and hid.

No sooner had he spoken than countless arrows tore through the air, shooting swiftly. The roof and wooden walls were like paper, instantly torn to shreds. A large number of people in the inn immediately fell, mostly guards. Qiu Mo-yan and the others, having been warned by Zhou Huai’an, dodged in time. Except for two unlucky ones who were shot in the arm, the others suffered no significant injuries.

The East Factory members clearly hadn’t expected that the people outside would disregard their safety and directly use the arrow formation.

“You bastards, don’t you know we’re inside?”

Cao Tian, the fourth-ranking officer, was furious and rushed out.

However, as soon as he reached the doorway, dozens of arrows shot towards him, instantly turning him into a hedgehog.

“How could they…”

Lu Xiao-chuan, the third-ranking officer, looked pale and couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Jia Ting immediately understood the reason, a bitter smile on his face. He said, “Cao Shao-qin wants to eliminate all roots. The matter of pursuing Lord Yang’s children must not be leaked, otherwise it will cause a backlash from the Ministry of War. We’ve all been treated as disposable pawns by him.”

Qiu Mo-yan sneered, “Hmph, East Factory lackeys, now you know what it means to be discarded after use, don’t you?”

Jia Ting and Lu Xiao-chuan exchanged glances, both seeing the bitterness and helplessness on each other’s faces.

Upstairs, Jin Xiang-yu’s curses suddenly rang out, “You bastards, do you really want to tear down my inn?”

Zhou Huai’an shouted upstairs, “Jin Xiang-yu, if you don’t tell us the secret passage, the East Factory kills its own people, do you think they’ll spare you?”

Jin Xiang-yu cursed (Li Nuo Zhao), “Why are you shouting? Is your voice the loudest?” Then she turned to look at Ye Qing-feng and said, “Do you think I don’t want to leave? That plague god hasn’t spoken, how dare I leave?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly surprised and looked at Ye Qing-feng.

Ye Qing-feng took a sip of wine calmly, then looked directly at Jia Ting and smiled faintly, “Mr. Jia, I warned you long ago to leave early, but you insisted on not listening. What’s the result now?”

Officer Jia showed a bitter smile. What could he say at this point?

Just then, the second round of arrows shot in again, and a few more unlucky East Factory members became hedgehogs.

Jin Xiang-yu waved her hand to deflect a few arrows, then shouted at Ye Qing-feng, “Bastard, if you don’t make a move, I’m going to run!”

Hearing this again, everyone was astonished, wondering what means this person possessed that could resolve this certain death situation.

Then, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.
