The chic days at Yujian Villa made time fly by quickly, and before I knew it, it was the middle of the Sophora lunar month.
On the fifteenth day, Xiao Jijia found Li Qi and the two started chatting in the room.
"Brother Li, tomorrow is the day the other party agreed..." Xiao Jijia said with some worry.
The letter Li Qi got from Wang Sanduo said that the couple would come to Yujian Villa on the sixteenth day of Huaiyue to cause trouble.
Seeing that it was tomorrow, Yujian Villa couldn't figure out the opponent's background, so it was normal for Xiao Jijia to be worried.
"Brother Xiao, don't think too much. Now that Uncle Xiao has summoned so many heroes, what is there to worry about?" Li Qi took a sip of tea.
Xiao Jijia smiled bitterly and said: "I just can't figure out why the other party wants to trouble Yujian Villa? Over the years, Yujian Villa has never offended anyone, and my father has also done many generous and righteous acts in the world. That man
Suddenly, so many people unite to massacre Jade Sword Villa..."
"Have you asked Uncle Xiao about this?" Li Qi asked.
Xiao Jijia nodded: "I asked, but my father can't figure out who the other party is and why he hates Jade Sword Villa so much."
"If you can't think of it, don't think about it. Anyway, we'll just have to wait until tomorrow. We'll find out tomorrow," Li Qi said.
Xiao Jijia sighed: "That's the only way it can be..."
"What I'm worried about now is that if the other party knows that the news is leaked, it will be troublesome if they don't come tomorrow." Li Qi said, "As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you."
Xiao Jijia said: "Brother Li, you don't have to worry. My father has already arranged for someone to check. We have the list of letters you provided. It's just a matter of time."
"If that's the case..." Li Qi frowned, "Then they will definitely arrive tomorrow."
"Yes." Xiao Jijia said, "Brother Li, thank you for this matter. Tomorrow may be very chaotic..."
As he spoke, he took out a key and handed it to Li Qi.
"What is this?" Li Qi asked.
Xiao Jijia said: "Brother Li, this is the key to the tunnel of the villa. If anything happens tomorrow, you can leave through the tunnel. The tunnel is behind the rockery in the west courtyard. The tunnel leads to the official road. I also asked someone to prepare it there.
carriage."
Li Qi didn't expect that Xiao Jijia had made such detailed arrangements, and he felt a little grateful for a moment.
"Brother Xiao, don't worry, nothing will happen." Li Qi said, "I have lived very comfortably in your house during this period. I don't want to go through any tunnel. If I want to leave, just go through the front door."
With that said, he returned the key.
Xiao Jijia smiled: "I really saw the right person. Brother Li is my friend for nothing."
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Jijia felt much better after being enlightened by Li Qi.
As soon as he left, Li Qi became depressed.
When Tang Yun saw this and came in to deliver snacks, he couldn't help but ask: "Why is the young master worried?"
Li Qi raised his head and glanced at her: "Do you think Jade Sword Villa can survive this test?"
"It's hard to say. Although many people from the world have come to Yujian Villa these days, there are not many people who are really willing to work for Yujian Villa..."
"I'm also worried about this." Li Qi said, "This matter cannot be reported to the official, and the person we hired is unreliable, and we don't know the opponent's strength yet..."
With that said, he stood up and walked out into the yard.
Tang Yun followed him and saw Li Qi coming behind the rockery and finding an iron gate in a hidden place.
I saw a lock on the iron door.
Taking out the dagger given by Jiang Yuzhu, Li Qi pried it twice and found that he couldn't pry it open. He regretted it for a moment.
I wanted to save face just now, but now I feel better. Do you regret it?
"Young master, you want to open it?" Tang Yun asked.
Li Qi nodded.
"Master, let me try."
Tang Yun pulled out the dagger from his waist, raised his hand and struck it.
Who knows, there was no response at all, and the lock was still not opened.
I have to say that the quality of this lock is really good.
Tang Yun tried it twice more and found that it still didn't work at all.
Li Qi sighed and was about to say forget it, when Ye E came over from nowhere.
"Sister Yun'er, what are you doing here?"
Tang Yun saw that she was coming and said, "Young Master wants to open this lock."
"Why is there a door here? Where does it lead to?" Ye E asked.
Li Qidao: "This is the secret passage of Jade Sword Villa..."
Ye E came over, pulled out a hairpin from her head, inserted it into the keyhole, fiddled with it twice, and only heard a "click", and the lock opened.
Li Qi and Tang Yun were both stunned.
"I learned some things from Third Brother before..." Ye E smiled.
"Okay. I didn't expect Miss Ye to have such skills." Li Qi said with a smile.
Looking at the unlocked lock, Li Qi felt completely relieved.
So he told the two of them that if something unexpected happened tomorrow, they would leave through this secret passage.
Brother Xiao, I'm sorry. It's not that I'm unloyal. It's just a matter of life and death. Naturally, I have to consider it as appropriate...
No one slept well that night, and early the next morning everyone was invited to the main hall by Master Xiao to discuss the big plan.
Li Qi took everyone over and sat at a table.
"Master Xiao, when those gangsters arrive soon, I, Wang, will make sure they never come back." A man in smart clothes said while eating snacks.
As soon as he said this, many people echoed his words.
"With the Dragon Tiger Village, the White Snake Gang wants to cause trouble for the Jade Sword Villa? It's a joke. I'm here to make sure they look good!"
"That's right, Longhu Village and the White Snake Gang have done a lot of evil in the past few years, and they have been despised by everyone for a long time. We didn't go to them to cause trouble, but they still dare to come to us?"
"I heard a few days ago that the two brothers Longteng and Huyue of Longhu Village, among them Huyue and Jiang Fei, are dead, and only Longteng and Jianglong are left. There is no need to worry."
"The White Snake Gang's Thousand Snake Hands Huang Yu's martial arts are mediocre. I have fought with him before, and this person is not worth mentioning."
After listening to everyone's words, Xiao Ying clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to all of you for coming to help me this time, otherwise the opponent would be so outnumbered, it would really be a headache for me."
"Where are you talking, Master Xiao? Jade Sword Villa has always been chivalrous and righteous. It is our honor that Master Xiao asked me to wait here."
"That's right, Master Xiao, there's no need to be polite."
"These days at the village, Master Xiao is entertaining us with delicious food and drinks. When those gangsters come over, we will definitely make them regret asking for trouble at Jade Sword Villa."
Everyone spoke one after another.
Xiao Jijia clasped his fists again, and at this moment, a servant ran in.
"The owner of the village... a large number of people arrived at the entrance of the villa..."
Hearing this, everyone stood up one after another. The big man who had spoken before picked up the hammer he had put aside and said, "Let me go meet them first!"
After saying that, the big man ran out of the main hall and rushed outside.
