"Waaaaah—"
The man and woman who had been shouting from upstairs were speechless. They rubbed their foreheads, sighed, and then jumped off the second floor.
The two men came to Xiao Yanzi's side and helped her up, one on each side. The woman patted the dust off Xiao Yanzi with concern.
It turned out that while Little Swallow was sticking out her tongue and making faces at the burly men, a farmer was pushing a wheelbarrow along the road.
With her back to the farmer and running extremely fast, the little swallow had no time to dodge, and the two bumped into each other.
"Ugh, this is really a headache. I didn't expect that Little Swallow is really just like she's portrayed in the TV series, with only a smattering of kung fu skills."
Jiang Yun couldn't help but sigh, then grabbed the merchant by the neck and rushed to the scene.
Jiang Yun took a closer look and immediately recognized that the two people who jumped down from the building were Liu Qing and Liu Hong. Liu Qing was broad-shouldered and strong, while Liu Hong looked delicate, but her eyes occasionally revealed a sharp and heroic spirit.
As for the little swallow, needless to say, she was naturally sweet and charming. At this moment, she was softly sobbing with grievance, which added a touch of pity and tenderness to her appearance.
The three of them confronted the six or seven burly men, who were about to make a move. Jiang Yun knew that as long as Liu Qing and Liu Hong were there, the seven burly men would never be able to get their hands on Xiao Yanzi.
However, Jiang Yun valued peace and preferred to avoid violence whenever possible. Therefore, Jiang Yun pushed the merchant to the ground.
He stepped on the businessman's face and arrogantly said, "Everyone stop, your boss is under my feet."
Everyone present was stunned. Even the onlookers widened their eyes. The six or seven burly men looked towards Jiang Yun in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Yun and the boss trembling at the feet of Ninth Princess.
"Shopkeeper!"
"Damn it, let go of our shopkeeper!"
"Why waste words with him? Go and beat him up!"
"Beat him up, beat the crap out of him!"
The six or seven men rolled up their sleeves and charged at Jiang Yun menacingly, looking ready to beat him up.
"Don't come any closer!"
The merchant immediately shouted anxiously, but Jiang Yun's intervention came too late. Jiang Yun smiled contemptuously and then lifted his left foot off the merchant's face.
Then, he pointed his toes and lifted the merchant up, then with a flick of his right leg, like kicking a ball, he sent the merchant flying towards the six or seven burly men.
With a series of crisp sounds, the merchant crashed into his men like a cannonball. Caught off guard, the burly men were hit by their boss, and several of them had several bones broken in the impact.
"Excellent skill!"
Seeing Jiang Yun subdue these burly men with a single kick, the lively Little Swallow couldn't help but shine, clapping her hands and jumping up and down to cheer for Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun immediately felt elated and pleased with himself. He had casually shown off his skills and earned Xiao Yanzi's applause, which was definitely worth it.
"Thank you for your help, young master."
Liu Hong blushed and greeted Jiang Yun with a cupped-hand salute, her eyes sparkling. She felt a strange unease, thinking that this man was not only handsome and stylish but also skilled in martial arts, probably no less than her brother Liu Qing.
"Yes, yes, thank you for your help, young master. Little Swallow is very grateful. Hehe."
Seeing Liu Hong bow to Jiang Yun, Xiao Yanzi hurriedly imitated Liu Qing by cupping her fists in a gesture of respect to Jiang Yun, and then half-squatted down to give Jiang Yun a graceful "Wanfu" (a traditional Chinese greeting). Although it was a bit awkward, it was still quite cute.
Jiang Yun's smile deepened, and he waved to the two of them repeatedly, saying, "Haha, you're too kind. We're both in the same boat, why bother with formalities?"
Jiang Yun was just saying it casually, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yanzi immediately picked up on Jiang Yun's words!
