Chapter 6, Astonishing Power
In such a cold winter, without sufficient charcoal, food, cotton wadding, and winter clothing, one is essentially doomed to die. All of these require money to purchase
This matter will be looked into later
After sending the old steward away, Yang Ji clenched his fists tightly, "When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten out. I refuse to believe that a person can be brought to ruin by money!"
It is too dangerous, truly too dangerous
Another guard exclaimed softly, suddenly realizing, and then began to chuckle darkly, "You are indeed clever, no doubt about it. This matter truly does not require our intervention, hehehe."
Yang Ji, do you dare to kill Young Master Yong?
Fifteen copper coins will not last long at all; in a few days, if we still do not make any money, the two of us will likely run out of provisions.
Something must have happened to him; however, he has no clue at the moment.
Unexpected!
When did I acquire such great power, and what exactly happened?
... ...
Howl ! ーー ''
Although Yang Yong does not put much effort into his training, often practicing for three days and then taking two days off, and his "Breathing Technique" is practiced sporadically, when it comes to fighting, he is quite talented, employing various underhanded tactics without any reservations
What do you mean
Countless questions surged in the minds of the two guards. For a long time, their minds were blank, and they did not even rush to rescue Yang Yong at the first opportunity
The guard who spoke first let out a cold laugh, as if he had already envisioned an even more thrilling spectacle ahead
Yang Yong shouted loudly, his eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of cruelty. No one noticed that at the moment he struck, his right leg suddenly lifted, delivering a heavy kick to Yang Ji's groin
How is that possible? What kind of joke is this
Yang Ji felt a pang in his nose as he looked at the outline of the old man in the light, along with his head full of gray hair, suddenly overwhelmed by an urge to cry and embrace the books.
Is this really how it ends
Yang Ji faced the night wind, slightly tilting his head, calmly pondering in his mind
Yang Yong let out a piercing scream, blood splattered, and his entire body was hurled as if struck by a high-speed train, soaring high into the air and flipping over a distance of five to six meters before crashing heavily to the ground
Young man, take this!
I am sorry, the five copper coins you gave me not only did not earn me any money, but I also lost those five coins.
A lamp is lit in the shed
He has been deeply remorseful about this matter since the evening until now
The roar was nearly hysterical
Hehe, I actually knew about this matter a long time ago
Ah
Hehe, it is strictly forbidden for members of the same clan to engage in private fights or harm one another. Such a significant rule within the clan, and you actually forgot? This fellow has offended the matriarch; do you think the matriarch would refrain from taking action upon learning that he has such a serious handle on him?
Under the light, Yang Ji hesitated for a long time before finally summoning the courage
How did Yang Ji discover it at such a close distance? And how did he manage to evade it? Even those renowned disciples within the clan might not be able to achieve that!
In just a few steps, Yang Yong swiftly launched a punch, his massive fist cutting through the air with a fierce wind, aimed directly at Yang Ji's head
Once everything was taken care of, Yang Ji spoke up
The old steward was both worried and filled with self-reproach
Ah, Young Master Yong and his companions have actually sought me out several times, but I never agreed. This time, you have injured Young Master Yong, and given his character, he will certainly not let this matter rest easily. Young Master, you must be very careful in the future
Another guard shouted, his mind in turmoil, cold sweat streaming down his forehead
If it were not for him, Yang Ji would not have gotten into such trouble. Yang Ji's situation within the clan was already precarious, and now that he has completely severed ties with Yang Yong, his circumstances will become even more difficult in the future
Yang Yong opened his mouth wide; this was the last thought before his consciousness fell into darkness
The guard who spoke first revealed a glint of ferocity in his eyes
The old steward sighed and recounted the sequence of events
Rest assured, he is not dead yet. However, if you wait any longer, that may not be the case. Now, hold onto this bastard and get out of here quickly
Although Yang Ji did not see it, he still felt it when Yang Yong kicked out his leg. This was a subtle sensation in the body that Yang Ji would not have noticed under normal circumstances
The old steward smiled, nodded, and wore a look of satisfaction.
Ah!
... ...
Shall we turn back now and give him a good lesson
At the moment Yang Yongfei leaped out, the jaws of the two guards dropped in shock to the ground
Indeed
The guard who spoke first wore a look of confusion
In the darkness, the two guards walked a considerable distance before realizing it
Yang Ji did not see Yang Yong's kick; in fact, the moment both of them made their move, Yang Ji realized that he had acted impulsively
Young Master
Calmness is merely a tool to intimidate the unscrupulous. In that fleeting moment, only Yang Ji himself knew how perilous the situation was; if he had been just a fraction slower, it is likely that he would have been the one to fall.
Yang Ji looked at the disappearing figures of the two guards and let out a long sigh of relief, unnoticed by anyone, his hands trembled incessantly within his sleeves
Recalling what just happened, even Yang Ji himself found it hard to believe. When did he become capable of such an incredible feat
As Yang Yong's guards, they are exceedingly well aware of their "master." They can almost predict the spectacular scene that is bound to unfold next
The young bird of the Yang family flaunted itself in front of him, which was akin to showing off one's skills in front of an expert
How could he possibly... have such great strength...!
The anger that had been suppressed surged up once more, even more intensely. At this moment, even if it meant injuring himself, Yang Ji would not allow Yang Yong to have it easy.
Bang
This young man probably still does not realize the power of Young Master Yong
This is simply adding insult to injury for both individuals
On the surface, he throws punches openly and loudly, attracting the opponent's attention, while secretly executing a sly kick from below. With this technique, in fights and brawls, Yang Yong has no idea how many 'heroes and brave men' he has severely injured
In the darkness, the two ceased to speak, lifting Yang Yong, their feet uneven as they hurriedly walked, soon disappearing without a trace
Yang Ji steadied himself and turned to walk towards the old steward
Yang Ji stepped back with one foot, his body twisting in a manner that was purely an instinctive response to danger. In the blink of an eye, he evaded Yang Yong's kick with astonishing speed
How is that possible
Liang Bo, I will not allow you to speak like this. No matter what, we will definitely get through this. Trust me!
You scoundrel, he should have at least been taught a lesson just now
Liang Bo, do not overthink it. If it weren't for me, Yang Yong and the others wouldn't be making things difficult for you. As for Yang Yong, you need not worry too much; I will handle it properly.
Shh
Snap!
Yang Jidao
Suddenly, Yang Ji bent his waist backward, resembling a curved bow, evading Yang Yong's punch. Yang Ji even heard the crisp sound of his own bones within his body
It would be one thing to be derelict in their duties, but the two of them actually let Yang Ji berate them without doing anything, simply carrying Yang Yong away. If this were to get out, wouldn't they be labeled as "incompetent" individuals
Yang Ji supported the old steward into the house and briefly bandaged him with the help of the librarian. Fortunately, the old steward's injuries were not severe; they were merely superficial wounds.
For how many years has Liang Bo been by his side, accustomed to his care, to the extent that Yang Ji has forgotten that he is actually quite old
However, Yang Ji does not regret it; there is nothing to regret regarding such a despicable person who takes advantage of every opportunity. Yet, Yang Ji still underestimated the extent of Yang Yong's malice
Another guard said resentfully, "At that time, he was still able to scheme against us."
The old steward sighed deeply, "It can only be this way."
Mr. Liang, out of trust, gave him five copper coins from the little remaining tribute money, but instead of making a profit, he ended up ruining the matter
Shock
"Liang Bo, how did you come to meet them?"
Another guard's eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something. He let out a cold chuckle and said, "That kid is definitely going to get a lesson, but it may not necessarily require our intervention"
Let me take care of the financial matters. Young master, I have already lived for over seventy years; living a few more years or fewer does not make much difference. However, you are different, young master. You are still young, and no matter what, you must continue to live.
This matter is indeed a long story
Liang Bo
That kid is too clever
The two guards finally reacted, hurriedly rushing to Yang Yong's side, shaking his body and checking for his breath. However, Yang Yong did not respond, causing the two to become even more flustered, with one of them shouting at Yang Ji.
... ...
Yang Yong, despite lacking skills and knowledge, still possesses greater strength than himself
The two guards smiled coldly, their expressions subtle.
Yang Ji's expression was chillingly calm
Hehe, let him be happy for now. Offending the madam and violating the clan rules, he will have to face the consequences later
Yang Ji grasped the old man's hand and said solemnly
At this moment, he already knows that the strange feeling he has, the leap he took when jumping off the bed, and the sensation of being filled with strength are not mere illusions
... ...
Yang Yong was injured right under their noses, which is a serious dereliction of duty. However, at this moment, they could not afford to care about Yang Ji; the two of them, in a fluster, hurriedly lifted Yang Yong and left.
The old steward smiled, seemingly unconcerned
... ...
Yang Ji, you are still far from being able to compete with me
Young Master Yong
Bastard, you have dealt such a heavy blow. The lady will not let you off!
Yang Yong's eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth agape in astonishment. He then watched in shock as Yang Ji's face was filled with rage, his right hand raised high, coming down heavily upon his own face like a mountain crashing down or a jade pillar toppling over.
Yang Yong felt a sense of triumph in his heart, as if he could already see Yang Ji collapsing in agony before him, what a thrill...
Forget it, returning at this time would only serve to vent our frustrations, but delaying Young Master Yong's treatment would be a crime upon a crime. Who would dare to employ us then
The guard who spoke first expressed deep resentment
A guard, infuriated, struck the wall with a heavy fist
Another guard considered it very seriously, but ultimately shook his head
If it were not for the lingering pain in his right fist, he might even doubt whether he was still dreaming
Upon returning, Yang Ji was lost in thought and said not a word, collapsing into sleep without even taking a bite of food. The old steward, worried yet concerned that Yang Ji might be hungry at night, checked on him from time to time to see if he had woken up, so he could prepare something to eat. Unexpectedly, he encountered Yang Yong and the others who had just returned.
Hehe, that may not necessarily be the case
Damn it, I was played by that kid
Young Master Yong is no stranger to fighting, having mastered the art with at least ninety out of a hundred skills. His sudden and silent low kick is executed with such finesse that, setting aside its unscrupulous nature, even his opponents would have to commend him.
This bastard
Teasing the inner thigh
