Chapter 7
Everyone woke up in a daze, and the scene immediately became chaotic, with all kinds of screams and all kinds of chaos.

Immediately behind Bai Tongtong were the knights who moved, but they were stopped by the enemies who had ambushed in advance.

After the inevitable fatal blow failed, the enemies who had been waiting for a good opportunity also tore off their camouflage and jumped out from under the mud layer on the ground. There were a large number of people and a clear division of labor. The two boys in the family, the one who solved the priest and the woman who were in the way, the one who prevented the guests in the front yard from coming back to help, and most importantly, the one who gave Mrs. Hope a second shot.

"It's magic!" The knight captain yelled while accepting the move, "They used magic to hide themselves!"

Of course, Bai Tongtong didn't think that the task of throwing his wife down and avoiding the first blow was completed. The enemy didn't care about killing a few more people who got in the way for his wife's death.

Bai Tongtong heard the wind behind his head, grabbed a handful of soil, turned around and threw it out with his hands, just in time to sprinkle it on the face of the enemy who was rushing towards him holding a dagger. He slammed the opponent's knee horizontally and fiercely.

The enemy screamed and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Bai Tongtong finally had a chance to stand up, go up and shine on his head again, the other party's screaming of pain stopped instantly, his neck went limp, God knows whether it is life or death.

Looking around, the knights and boys practicing martial arts were held back by the enemy. The men who are good at frontal combat faced these enemies who are good at assassination, and they were in a dilemma. Seeing the danger, the knights don't have to worry about wearing armor. , both boys were injured, and they had to be distracted to protect their two sisters.

There was only one road leading to the hall, which had been blocked by the enemy beforehand, but seeing that one of his own men had been knocked down, someone came to help and wanted to kill the maid who was in the way.

Bai Tongtong picked up the enemy's dagger on the ground, a stick in her left hand, and a knife in her right hand. Now she and the enemy belong to the category that is good at close combat. Let's see who is better.

Finally, a knight killed the enemies who were fighting like jelly candy, and then reinforced his teammates nearby.

Some of the guests who hadn't left in the front yard heard the chaos behind, came to check the situation, and fought with the enemies who were waiting there to intercept them.

The priests and maids, who couldn't help but act as human shields, put their heads in their hands and huddled under the chairs, trees, and bushes, while the wife was simply kicked out of the grave by Bai Tongtong, lying on her husband's coffin Going up, there is no need to worry about an enemy jumping down to take her life for the time being.

The enemy's move is like a loach, very slippery, using a roaming tactic of "touch and go", Bai Tongtong became enraged, and simply threw the dagger in her hand at the enemy, taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's distraction to block, she suddenly pounced close, empty Putting on a dagger with his right hand, he swung it above his head, while his left hand swung the stick to protect his chest.

The enemy had never seen the dagger, and made a fatal careless mistake. He ignored the attack from the dagger, and focused his attention on the stick made of fine steel. He felt that this thing was more dangerous. .

However, once the soft-headed club in the name of creating internal injuries is hit on the skull, the consequences are not necessarily much lighter than a swinging stick.

Don't forget, there is a medical term called concussion, and the complications derived from it really echo the old saying that life and death are up to you.

When I first received weapons training, the instructor emphasized the harmfulness, especially her, Bai Tongtong, because she knows martial arts, she is the instructor's key concern, and he paid close attention to her safety education, and instilled in her like chanting sutras. Be kind and forgiving.

Like her classmates who don't know how to fight, it can be said to be self-defense by holding this thing to learn how to use it. She holds this thing and can become a murder weapon without learning it. Brother taught her, just to improve her physique, don't go to the hospital every three days.

Perhaps it was the instructor's luck that she never encountered the danger of needing to hit someone with a dagger.

But now, she is going to relapse, otherwise, she must be dead.

The enemy still tried their best to block the attack brought by the swinging stick, and took the blow of the dagger, but that was Bai Tongtong's main attack direction. After the blow was successful, Bai Tongtong immediately retreated, opened the distance, and put on a defensive posture, as if Waiting for the re-engagement in general.

The enemy chased him for half a step, and suddenly his body swayed, a little out of balance, so Bai Tongtong jumped back, pressed the opponent's knife hand with the stick in his right hand, and hit the carotid artery with his left hand, causing the opponent to faint on the spot.

After finishing the two, Bai Tongtong took a breath and looked around. Basically, the battle was coming to an end. There were enemies in every direction and every corner. The knights were protected by armor, and their fur was not hurt at all. And the male guests who came back to help were hanged in more than one place.

The two ladies hid under the bushes, and there were no major injuries except for some minor scratches. Their brothers protected them, and the maids and the priest were all in good condition, with some injuries, and no one died.

Judging from the scene, it was the enemy who suffered the most casualties, and the two people Bai Tongtong settled seemed to be lightly injured, because there were no obvious external injuries.

The battle was over, and the people who were still in shock gathered together again. Under the guidance of Bai Tongtong, the knights jumped down from the grave to get the lady up.

Look what the funeral turned out to be, a bloody farce.

Bai Tongtong stretched her waist, almost killing her.

Didn't die in Xinxin Forest, but almost died beside a grave, why not be so uncreative.

Having just experienced such a big attack, Madam's mood was actually quite stable, and she spoke in a very orderly manner. She didn't sob softly like her daughter and maids, but her lips were tightly pressed, as if trying to endure something. The knights surrounded Looking at her, he put her in a protective circle like an iron bucket.

After counting the number of people and confirming that there is no one of his own who needs a stretcher, the priest led the physically and mentally exhausted people back to the front hall. The wounded hurriedly bandaged their wounds, drank some water, and calmed down their bad emotions. The priest assured Mrs. Hope that they The cemetery will be rebuilt, and then there will be no rest time, and we must rush back to the city as soon as possible to deal with the aftermath of various things derived from the incident just now.

After making simple arrangements, Bai Tongtong was still riding with his wife, leaving half of the knights to deal with the dead and wounded enemies.

A knight walked in the front, followed closely by Bai Tongtong, followed by the madam and her maid holding hands, surrounded by her children and the rest of the servants, the coachmen were already waiting outside, and there was a priest The young assistant stood beside the lady's carriage and opened the door.

The lady's maid was the first to get into the car, and stretched out her hand from the compartment to help the mistress into the car.

But just as the madam was holding the maid's hand and was about to get into the carriage, Bai Tongtong suddenly kicked the priest's assistant, so fast that even the knight standing beside her couldn't stop her.

Bai Tongtong kicked fiercely, but the assistant fled even faster, leaping back swiftly, wearing a large robe that reached to the top of his feet, his movements were as nimble as a monkey's, and he could no longer block the cold light flashing past his sleeves.

The crowd who had just calmed down screamed again, and the knights ran towards this new enemy, but they did not choose to fight, but retreated decisively. No human hair was found.

Beside the madam's carriage, Bai Tongtong was sitting on the ground, sweating profusely through her heavy shirt, panting profusely, two young ladies surrounded her regardless of their identities, one fanned her with his own fan, the other fanned her with his fragrant Wipe her sweat with a handkerchief.

The young masters were also there, holding a short sleeve arrow in their hands, which had just been pulled out from under the eaves of the car.

The young man disguised as the priest's assistant obviously used the sleeve arrow to assassinate Mrs. Hope. No one could dodge the fatal blow at such a close range. Fortunately, Bai Tongtong attacked first, so that even if the opponent shot the arrow, he lost his aim. stuck in the car wall.

There were no new casualties.

Except that Bai Tongtong was frightened, because the sleeve arrow flew past her forehead.

Another narrow escape.

She felt that the priest's assistant was suspicious of his shoes. Church personnel had a fixed dress code, and there were regulations on what clothes people of any status wore, from hats to shoes.

Before the funeral, the priest's assistants came out to help. Bai Tongtong had observed their clothes. She knew what the assistants looked like. But the robes of the man just now were correct, but the exposed half of the shoes looked like light clothes. Her boots are not as deceptive as the pair on her feet.

Abnormal is a demon.

Strike first.

The Knights came back to report the results, sorry for not getting anything.

Mrs. Hope didn't blame them, but told them to return to the city as soon as possible after doing a good job in the aftermath.

Bai Tongtong was lifted up from the ground and sent into his wife's carriage. This time, he finally set off smoothly, and no strange creatures jumped out to launch a surprise attack.

Bai Tongtong rested his elbows on the car window, propped his chin with his palms, and coveted the cool wind blowing through the car window. Gradually, after relaxing, he felt fatigued, drowsiness filled the air, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep without too much struggle. .

But the carriage is no place to doze off, Bai Tongtong wakes up in pain for a while and then sleeps again, looking at Mrs. Hope and the maid beside her, they seem to be sleeping pretty well.

Their group was delayed in the cemetery for too long, far beyond the scheduled return time. The servants staying behind in Viscount Hope's Mansion failed to wait for the masters who came home as expected, but waited for the messengers of the guests who came to the funeral , and tell them that something bad might have happened over there in the cemetery.

After realizing that something might happen to the cemetery behind, the guests who did not participate in the helping hand rushed back to the city and notified Viscount Hope's house as soon as possible. The butler led everyone to pray for the safety of the master.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the carriage of the Hope family finally drove into the gate of Fort Chamington. The three people in the wife's carriage were quite calm, but it was difficult for the people in the carriage behind to maintain their composure. Even the young masters and ladies couldn't help cheering again and again, mixed with grief and joy, celebrating that they had returned to a safe world, and no longer had to worry about someone launching a third attack midway.

The carriage drove into the gate of the courtyard, and anxious servants poured out of the house, helping the traumatized master and colleagues back indoors.

The hot water in the bathroom is ready, you can take a bath at any time, and there will be rich food afterwards. Because of her reliable performance, Bai Tongtong was invited to the restaurant for dinner after she put on her clean clothes, but none of the hosts wanted to eat. She didn't show up, only the butler was serving, introducing her to the dishes, sharing the dishes, and pouring the wine.

I heard from the butler that after being examined by the doctor, the madam and the young ladies are all resting, especially the wounds of the young gentlemen are lying in bed waiting for the effect of the medicine after drinking the potion of Master Bai. The only one who seemed unaffected was Bai Tongtong, who must be used to this kind of scene.

Bai Tongtong smiled awkwardly. She did encounter various dangers when working in the field, but she had never seen such a scene in her life. Now she recalled the coolness brought by the arrow flying past her head. It made her back sweat, if she hadn't reacted so quickly, the thing would have hit her forehead.

When she took out the space ring lent to her by Mrs. Hope from her pocket and gave it to the housekeeper, Bai Tongtong asked Mrs. Hope about her current situation out of politeness. Assault on a lady at a funeral.

The butler only said that the madam was in good condition and that there was a doctor to take care of her so she didn't need to worry, then picked up the wine bottle and poured her wine.

Bai Tongtong received the hint from the other party's words, stopped asking, and concentrated on eating.

A footman hurried into the dining room, holding an envelope in his hand, which he said was a letter from Mr. Galty by private post, addressed to Miss Bai.

The housekeeper took the letter, went to the low cabinet by the wall, opened the envelope with a letter opener, pulled out a little letter paper inside, and handed it to Bai Tongtong.

The handwriting in the letter was the woman's, which was obviously Seiya's own handwriting. She didn't ask anything, but hoped that Bai Tongtong would give a reply after reading the letter, letting her know that she was safe and sound.

A warm feeling surged in Bai Tongtong's heart, which somewhat healed some of the trauma she had suffered today. With a gentle smile on her face, she folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope.

The housekeeper asked Bai Tongtong to wait for a while, he wanted to report to his wife before arranging a car to take her back.

A few minutes later, the butler returned to the restaurant and led Bai Tongtong upstairs to the study.

"It's been so hard today, Madam still has to work? The doctor agrees?" Bai Tongtong was a little surprised, and whispered as he went upstairs.

"There is no time for rest, and the effects need to be removed as quickly as possible."

"Madame is really admirable."

The butler didn't answer, and silently led Bai Tongtong to a room on the second floor, gently knocked on the door, and invited Bai Tongtong in.

In the bright room with three large windows, the lady is still in a black dress, sitting behind the desk in front of the window, the desk is full of letters, and a man in his 30s who should be a work assistant is reading one by one beside him. The sorted yards are on separate plates.

Mrs. Hope's face did not show the nervousness of the rest of her life after the catastrophe, as if she had completely calmed down and devoted all her energy to her work.
