Chapter 2100 Shocking! The Sister-Protecting Maniac Makes His Debut!
That clear and authoritative female question was like a sharp sword piercing through the thick fog; before anyone was even seen, the entire courtyard fell silent!
Immediately afterwards, heavy and hurried footsteps came from outside the moon gate. They were not chaotic, but uniform and rhythmic.
That was the sound of footsteps only a well-trained team could make.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sound grew louder as it approached, quickly passing through the front and middle yards, and heading straight for the moon gate in the back yard, seemingly pausing for a moment in front of it.
The door was suddenly pushed open, not smashed open, but swiftly and decisively pushed open by a steady, powerful, and immense force.
The door hinges groaned under the strain.
The first thing that catches the eye is not the fully armed soldiers, but a tall and graceful figure.
She wore a well-fitting bright red brocade cotton-padded jacket with Chinese knot buttons, paired with dark blue polyester straight-leg pants. She was graceful and radiant. Her hair was neatly tied back. At this moment, her expression showed a hint of sharpness and valor amidst her joy, and an unassailable heroic spirit shone from her brows.
It was Qin Ruobai, Li Xiangnan's wife, Li Xitang's mother, and the only daughter of the Qin family in this generation!
She strode into the courtyard with steady, powerful steps, her eyes sharp as lightning, instantly locking onto the eerie gray figure in the courtyard.
Behind her, several young men, dressed in casual clothes and exuding a sharp aura, followed closely. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles. They quickly spread out and took positions, firmly protecting Qin Ruobai's flanks. At the same time, they scanned the entire scene with professional eyes to assess the current situation.
Qin Ruobai's appearance brought a touch of warmth and reassurance to Li Xiangnan's eyes, but he did not move, only nodding slightly.
The young monk was clearly surprised that a young woman had barged in first, and with such a sharp aura. His surprise and doubt deepened, but he still managed a forced smile.
Qin Ruobai ignored him and turned her gaze to Li Xiangnan, her eyes softening for a moment. "Xiangnan, are you alright?"
"It's alright!" Li Xiangnan laughed heartily, feeling completely relaxed. He glanced at his watch and said to his wife in unison, "You've come at the perfect time!"
Qin Ruobai nodded, then slowly turned his head to face the little monk in the courtyard. He looked the little novice, who was holding a rosary made of human bones and had a strange smile, up and down. There was no fear in his clear eyes, only a coldness and scrutiny as if he were looking at a clown.
“It was you just now,” Qin Ruobai said, her voice clear and filled with intense anger, “spouting nonsense here, saying that you set fire at midnight and burned us to the ground?”
The little monk's eyes darted around, and he was about to speak—
"Ha, why waste words with him!"
A loud, rough voice came from outside the moon gate, filled with impatience and menacing intent.
Immediately afterwards, five tall and straight figures filed in!
The five men were all dressed in crisp army uniforms, their shoulder insignia indicating high ranks. They ranged in age from twenty-four or twenty-five to thirty, and their faces bore a resemblance to Qin Ruobai. Each of them had an upright posture, a steady and powerful gait, and exuded a fierce and courageous aura honed by gunpowder and iron.
It was Qin Ruobai's elder brother, Qin Huaihe, the regimental commander of a certain unit in the Tianfu Military Region!
Qin Jingchuan, the second elder brother, is the battalion commander of a regiment in the Beijing garrison!
And my cousin Qin Songhua, a regimental commander in an army unit!
My second brother, Qin Yunyu, is a battalion commander in an army unit!
Third Brother Qin Qiushan, Reconnaissance Company Commander of an Army Unit!
When they saw them, the entire audience erupted in cheers!
Qin Songhua walked at the front. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and piercing eyes. He scanned the situation in the courtyard and was visibly relieved to see that his relatives and friends, such as Li Xiangnan and Song Cijiu, were unharmed. However, the anger that he had forcibly suppressed immediately rose up again.
He didn't even bother to look at the little monk. He walked straight to Li Xiangnan's side, patted his brother-in-law's shoulder forcefully, and said in a deep voice, "Xiangnan, we have guests at home. Why didn't you let us know earlier? We rushed here as fast as we could, but we were still a step too late. Some shady characters ruined the wedding banquet!"
His voice was loud and undisguised, making people's ears ring.
Qin Yunyu and Qin Qiushan stood on either side of Qin Ruobai, their eyes like steel knives, instantly locking onto the little monk in the courtyard, as well as the Yanjing Ten Families and Shangguan Wuji standing trembling in the corner.
Qin Yunyu's lips curled into a cold, hard smile, while Qin Qiushan narrowed his eyes, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on his side—a habitual action formed from carrying a gun for a long time!
Qin Jingchuan's face was dark. After entering the room, his eyes almost spit fire. He frequently stared at Li Xiangnan, wanting to ask his brother-in-law more about the situation on the scene. He was clearly furious.
Qin Huaihe, Qin Ruobai's elder brother, seemed to have countless suppressed anger and fighting spirit from the battlefield of Jiaozhi embedded in his muscular body. With his teeth clenched, this soldier who had only recently retired from the battlefield seemed to be ready to erupt in anger at any moment and intimidate everyone present!
The arrival of these five army officers instantly changed the atmosphere in the courtyard!
If Qin Ruobai brought sharpness and questioning, then these five elder brothers brought a real sense of oppression and bloodshed forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
The mere sight of them, even unarmed, seemed to exude a murderous aura akin to that of a thousand troops!
The little monk in the courtyard could no longer maintain his smile; only a stiff expression remained, a mixture of surprise and solemnity.
His fingers, which were twirling the bone beads, stopped.
However, that's not all!
Rumble...
The faint sound of engines coming from outside didn't stop; in fact, it seemed to increase.
Everyone fell silent again, then looked up at the door with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
Immediately afterwards, more footsteps approached, this time more steady, carrying the imposing air of someone who had long held a high position and commanded thousands of troops.
A middle-aged man wearing a white naval uniform and carrying the rank of senior colonel walked in slowly.
This man was about forty-two or forty-three years old, with a refined and scholarly appearance, but his eyes were as deep as the sea, exuding an imposing aura even without anger.
It was Qin Ruobai's third uncle, Qin Taihang, a senior colonel in a certain naval unit!
Qin Taihang's gaze was calm. He first nodded to Li Xiangnan before looking around the room.
His gaze swept over Du Xingyue and Ji Qingyue, and he nodded slightly in greeting. When he glanced at the trembling Shi family and Shangguan Wuji in the corner, he showed no emotion. Finally, his gaze landed on the little monk in the courtyard.
He didn't speak, he just watched quietly.
But the imposing presence and intangible pressure emanating from senior naval officers, cultivated through commanding the oceans and fleets, were far more intense and suffocating than the menacing aura of the younger officers.
It was as if he was looking not at a minor demonic monk, but at a reef on a nautical chart that needed to be marked.
Under that gaze as calm as the deep sea, the young monk involuntarily shrank his neck slightly, and the knuckles of his fingers, which were holding the bone beads, turned a little white.
Just as everyone was awestruck by the imposing presence of naval colonel Qin Taihang—
A low cough, seemingly able to penetrate all the noise, came from outside the moon gate.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged general, dressed in a crisp military uniform with gold stars gleaming on his epaulets, accompanied by a young adjutant, strode into the backyard with steady, mountain-like steps.
He was tall and, though nearing fifty, his back was as straight as a pine tree. His square face exuded authority even without anger, and a deep old scar ran from his brow bone to the corner of his mouth. Far from diminishing his majesty, it added to the chilling aura of a seasoned general.
The moment he appeared, the air in the entire courtyard seemed to grow heavier, and even the light from the lanterns seemed to focus on his epaulets.
The courtyard was deathly silent.
