Chapter 3, Inversion of Black and White (Part 1)
"Enough already, do you think being loud is impressive? Damn! You still have a torch in hand, and you want to set something on fire? Aren't you tired of holding it up? So many brothers have come to support you, all waiting to see you ignite something; you can't let them down, can you? If you're going to set something on fire, do it quickly!"
Tang Tiecheng bit his lip, at that moment a man in black squeezed in from behind, causing the person in front to stumble and collide with Tang Tiecheng's arm, causing the torch in his hand to slip and fly out with a whoosh.
Although Liang Dazhuang did not know what the camera was, he understood that it obstructed his young master. Liang Dazhuang believed he was acting out of good intentions, wanting to protect his young master. "A dog biting Lü Dongbin, unable to recognize a good person’s heart," Liang Dazhuang muttered to himself, yet he obediently pulled Tang Qingxuan back a step.
Liang Dazhuang felt a sense of pride as he saw that group of people frightened by him. Just as he was about to say a few more impressive words, he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder.
Tang Tiehan said: "Clearly, it was you who took my sister, and now you are holding her as a hostage. Do not speak recklessly."
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the torch, watching it soar high into the air before ultimately landing on the thatched roof of the gazebo in the garden. The roof was entirely covered with straw, and after being exposed to the sun all day, it ignited instantly, bursting into flames with a loud roar! In an instant, a raging fire had already erupted atop the gazebo.
Tang Tiecheng exclaimed angrily: "Why didn't you say so earlier! If you dare to lay a finger on my sister..."
Tang Tiecheng shouted: "Hey! That kid, if you dare to touch even a single hair on my sister, my brothers and I will burn your Minister's residence to the ground without leaving a single tile."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It is easy to ignite a fire but difficult to extinguish it. You are igniting it now, and fire knows no mercy. Regardless of whether our large group can escape alive, if the court learns about the burning of the Minister's residence, your Tang family will inevitably face a complete extermination of your clan."
Unintentionally, he blocked half of Hu Xiaotian's position again. Hu Xiaotian glared at him with great displeasure and said, "You are blocking my shot again. Can't you tell who the protagonist is and who the supporting role is? This kind of obtrusive servant really lacks awareness.
At this moment, Liang Dazhuang was not afraid at all; he did not think that the young master was particularly impressive. Instead, he felt that the most striking and formidable person on the scene was himself. It was precisely because he had a knife pressed against Tang Qingxuan's neck that he deterred over a hundred strong men from acting recklessly. Every individual has a desire for control and seeks self-satisfaction. With Tang Qingxuan in his grasp, Liang Dazhuang felt a sense of elation. Holding the knife firmly, he shouted, "Why don't you quickly surrender!"
At this moment, Liang Dazhuang crawled up from the ground, his face bruised and swollen. Upon seeing the young master restrained, he shouted and rushed forward. Murong Feiyan did not even glance back, delivering a kick behind her that landed squarely on this fellow's chest. Liang Dazhuang let out a scream even more earth-shattering than before, lying sprawled on the ground.
Tang Tiehan nudged his younger brother and said, "Second brother, he has moved, he has moved!" Just a moment ago, Hu Xiaotian had cut off a strand of the girl's hair right in front of him. Tang Tiehan was an honest man; he spoke whatever came to his mind.
You are the robber, you have taken my sister
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile, "What do you want me to do with her?"
Hu Xiaotian took a step forward: "Who just said they wanted to burn the Minister's residence?"
You ... ...
Tang Tiehan understood that setting fire to the Minister's residence was no trivial matter, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to extinguish the flames to prevent the fire from spreading. Meanwhile, the servants of the Hu family also rushed over upon hearing the news. Hu Fo, who was beaten and bruised, shouted loudly: "The Tang family is on fire, the Tang family is on fire mhetushu .com .com"
Although Hu Xiaotian admitted that her somersault was indeed impressive, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. Are all the women here former gymnasts? Almost every one of them performs a few front flips along with a 360-degree turn upon entering, as if they are afraid others won't notice their acrobatic skills. It is truly ostentatious, excessively so.
With a clamor, the group of people behind the Tang brothers retreated two steps simultaneously, all frightened by Hu Xiaotian's words. Indeed, if they were falsely accused of treason, it would be a grave crime punishable by the execution of the entire family
At this moment, Liang Dazhuang was holding Tang Qingxuan at knifepoint as they exited the room. He had entered with the intention of enjoying a view of spring, but upon entering the room and seeing Tang Qingxuan dressed so neatly, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. This young master was indeed too selfish; he enjoyed the meat but didn't leave a drop of soup for the servants. After finishing his business, why was she so quick to put her clothes back on? And why was she wrapped up so tightly? It would have been nice to at least have a glimpse. Liang Dazhuang was cursing inwardly, yet his expression was fierce and menacing, with the knife pressed against Tang Qingxuan's neck. He walked up to Hu Xiaotian, who had now completely calmed down and felt a sense of confidence. His words carried an extraordinary force: "All of you, step back! Get out of here, or do you believe I will cut her down with one stroke!"
Uh... Tang Tiehan was actually stumped by his question. He scratched his head and turned to his second brother, Tang Tiecheng, and whispered, "Second brother, what do you think we should do about him?"
You ... ...
Although Murong Feiyan's movements were flamboyant, her speed was not to be underestimated. Before Liang Dazhuang could react, she had already raised her leg and kicked him away from Tang Qingxuan, pulling Tang Qingxuan to her side for protection with her left hand, while her right hand pointed the long sword at Hu Xiaotian. Originally, Hu Xiaotian should have had enough time to escape when she jumped down, but upon discovering that Liang Dazhuang was such a coward and easily defeated, his first reaction was not to flee, but to control Tang Qingxuan. In the chaotic situation before him, only by controlling Tang Qingxuan could he intimidate the group, making the Tang family members hesitant and afraid to act recklessly.
Hu Xiaotian reached out his hand, first touching Tang Qingxuan's small hand, then lifting her gracefully curved chin, and chuckled, "I have moved, now you burn!"
Uh ... do you think I dare not ... bring the fire!
Hu Xiaotian chuckled coldly and said: "This is my territory now. I have witnesses and physical evidence. I say you brought over one hundred people to trespass in my home with the intent to rob. Do you think the authorities will believe you or me?"
A graceful figure swooped down from the rooftop, over three zhang high, descending like a bird. Wearing a black official's hat, she was clad in a purple brocade robe adorned with cloud patterns, with a red warrior outfit underneath, and black thin-soled boots. Her skin was fair, with sword-like eyebrows slanting into her temples, and a pair of bright eyes as cold as autumn water. She exuded a heroic demeanor, elegant and poised, like a startled dragon. This was Murong Feiyan, the top female constable of the Jingzhao Prefecture, who spun gracefully in the air several times.
Fortunately, Liang Dazhuang quickly reacted and hurriedly pulled Tang Qingxuan back. Just at that moment, a shadow suddenly shot down from the rooftop behind them. By the time Liang Dazhuang realized it, the sword sheath had already struck his wrist, causing him to scream in pain, and the knife in his hand clattered to the ground.
Hu Xiaotian said: "You brought over one hundred people to forcibly invade the Minister's residence, broke my family's main door, injured my family's servant, caused chaos in the Minister's residence, and left a scene of devastation. Now you even want to burn down our house. What is the difference between this behavior and that of a robber?"
The scene was in chaos when someone shouted: "Big brother... the Jingzhao Prefecture has sent people... https://m.hetushu.com..."
Hu Xiaotian's strategy was originally without any errors, but deviations occurred during its execution. Firstly, he overestimated Liang Dacheng's capabilities. Secondly, he believed that this spirited young woman in male attire was merely a facade without substantial strength. Thirdly, he thought he could steadily control Tang Qingxuan during this period. However, when he truly took action, Hu Xiaotian realized he was gravely mistaken. Ultimately, he overestimated his own abilities.

The onlookers cheered in unison
Tang Qingxuan's beautiful eyes fixed fiercely on Hu Xiaotian, as if she had devoured his heart.
Although the thatched pavilion caught fire, it is located by the pond in the garden, so the flames should not spread to other buildings within the estate
Tang Tiecheng said: "Elder brother, don't pay attention to him. He has witnesses, and we have witnesses as well. We have more people..."
Hu Xiaotian interrupted him, saying: "Stop talking nonsense, I have touched your sister from head to toe, so what?"
Liang Dazhuang entered the room, while on the other side, the Tang brothers, Tang Tiehan and Tang Tiecheng, had already brought people before Hu Xiaotian. Upon seeing Hu Xiaotian standing boldly in the sunlight, half-naked and wearing only large shorts, the Tang brothers' eyes widened in fury, their anger boiling over
What do you mean? Under the Da Kang law, as long as the charge of rebellion is established, all of you, more than one hundred people, will face the death penalty for your entire family
Hu Xiaotian nodded at him and said: "Excuse me, excuse me, you are blocking my camera!"
Tang Tiehan glanced at his brother, and Tang Tiecheng patted his chest: "I said, if you dare to lay a finger on my sister, I will burn the Minister's residence to the ground without leaving a single tile."
The group of people from the Tang family was instantly dumbfounded, and Tang Tiecheng shouted, "Which bastard hit me?"
Hu Xiaotian glared fiercely at Tang Tiecheng and said, "Are you really burning?"
Tang Tiecheng said: "I didn't burn it!" He looked at his elder brother, hoping that his brother would vouch for him. However, Tang Tiehan misunderstood his intention: "I didn't burn it either; the torch is in your hand, it has nothing to do with me!" Damn it, even a biological brother is unreliable.
It was only then that Hu Xiaotian realized that a cloth wad had been stuffed in her mouth, clearly the doing of Liang Dazhuang. No wonder she had been so obediently silent for such a long time. That dog of a Liang Dazhuang, he wouldn't have taken the opportunity to take advantage of her, would he? Just looking at this guy, it's clear he is not a good person.
Liang Dazhuang did not create any obstacles for Murong Feiyan at all. Just as Hu Xiaotian's hand barely touched Tang Qingxuan's clothing, he was snatched away by Murong Feiyan. Then, the gleaming long sword in her hand was pressed against Hu Xiaotian's throat, and the chilling light made Hu Xiaotian instinctively close his eyes.
Murong Feiyan coldly gazed at Hu Xiaotian, who showed no fear on his face. With a smile, he looked at the spirited girl dressed as a man and asked, "Beautiful lady, who are you?"
Among the more than one hundred people, there was indeed a well-meaning individual who handed over a torch. Tang Tiecheng raised the torch, searching for a suitable place to ignite.
Tang Tiehan clutched his head in immense pain and said, "Here it comes again..." He had no way to counter this move from the other party. Tang Tiecheng was also somewhat taken aback; his sister was in their hands, and he was wary of taking action.
Someone shouted: "The thatched pavilion is on fire... The thatched pavilion is on fire..."
Tang Tiecheng shouted: "Do you think I was scared into growing up? Hu Xiaotian, today I will not spare you."
Tang Tiehan pointed a knife at Hu Xiaotian and said: "Hu Xiaotian, what have you done to my sister?"
Tang Tiecheng's heart trembled, and the torch paused in his hand: "Are you trying to scare me?"
The group of people behind all turned to look at others, and no one dared to admit that it was they who had bumped into him
"Is it really impressive to have so many people?" Hu Xiaotian noticed that the intelligence of this group was indeed concerning. He took a step forward: "More than one hundred people armed with knives, guns, and clubs, breaking into the Minister's residence; is that not robbery? Could it be rebellion?"
