Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

In this way, the few of them spent two more days in the mansion in a dull manner. However, Wei Yang did not show up during these two days. He handled all the major and minor matters in Wangyan City alone.

Until the next night——

During dinner, several people walked towards the front hall as usual. On the way, Xiao Zuochen, Chu Yao met Xiao Zuoming and Yueying.

"What a coincidence, Xiao Ming!"

Chu Yao took the initiative to greet him, and Xiao Zuoming rolled his eyes at him.

"Who's Xiao Ming? You have to call me the emperor! And you have to kowtow to me!"

"Oh~"

Chu Yao shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care. That "cold" attitude made Xiao Zuoming angry. Just when he was about to argue with Chu Yao, he saw him suddenly cover his stomach with one hand and hold Xiao Zuochen's shoulder with the other.

"Oh, my stomach hurts! Ouch~ No no, I have to go to the bathroom."

Xiao Zuochen felt a little amused when he saw Chu Yao's winking expression.

"Haha, you got your comeuppance for disrespecting me~"

Xiao Zuoming was gloating on the side, and even when Chu Yao turned around and wanted to leave, he stopped him from going to the toilet. Even Yueying behind Xiao Zuoming couldn't help shaking her head when she saw his "silly look".

"Okay, let him go, we'll go eat first."

Only after Xiao Zuochen spoke did Xiao Zuoming reluctantly move aside.

"No, you have to help me over!"

Chu Yao suddenly grabbed Xiao Zuochen with a suffocated expression.

Xiao Zuochen glanced at Chu Yao and had no choice but to wave to Xiao Zuoming.

"You guys go first, no need to wait for us."

Xiao Zuoming raised his eyebrows and did not forget to make a sarcastic remark.

"They are so close that they go to the toilet together? Tsk tsk~"

Xiao Zuochen and Chu Yao ignored Xiao Zuoming and turned around and walked towards the toilet. Xiao Zuoming watched them disappear around the corner before he came back to his senses and spoke to Yueying.

"Then it's just the two of us having dinner together today. That woman Wei Yang should be busy with official business outside today."

Yueying said "hmm", and the two of them walked towards the front hall together.

However, they didn't notice that Chu Yao, who was suffering from diarrhea, and Xiao Zuochen were secretly following them not far behind.

Before Xiao Zuochen and Yueying walked far, they heard a sound of tearing in the air. When Xiao Zuoming reacted and turned around, Yueying was already behind him in a protective posture, knocking an arrow to the ground.

Xiao Zuoming was stunned for a second, then shouted.

"Someone come! There's an assassin!"

However, his shout did not call the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, but instead called down the two assassins with swords. Xiao Zuoming stepped back in fear, and Yueying stretched out a hand to protect him.

"I'll stop them in a moment, you run."

After hearing this, Xiao Zuoming nodded subconsciously, but then he realized something was wrong.

"No, I can't leave you here by yourself!"

The expression on Yueying's face relaxed for a moment, but immediately became serious again.

"You'll only hold me back if you stay."

"All right..."

The two sword-wielding assassins who jumped down looked at Xiao Zuoming and then at Yueying and exchanged words.

"That man must be alive. He doesn't know martial arts. Kill this woman first!"

"understand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the assassins rushed forward. Yueying drew out the soft sword at her waist to fight. Although the strength of this body was not as good as before, Yueying could still perform some sword moves.

"Run away!"

Yueying yelled at Xiao Zuoming, and Xiao Zuoming had no choice but to leave her and run to the front hall. He thought that as long as he found someone, he could come to save Yueying.

It was no problem to stop one assassin, but when another assassin joined in, it was obvious that Yueying could no longer hold on. One of the assassins stepped back a few steps, and the other assassin and Yueying were already fighting, and the scene was tense. Just when the two were fighting, the assassin who had retreated to the side suddenly rushed over, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Yueying's chest. At this time, Yueying had no time to take care of her side, and she didn't know that she was in danger.

At this critical moment, Yue Ying heard a "puff" sound from her side, which was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing her flesh, but she did not feel any pain. She turned her head in surprise, but was instantly shocked when she saw the scene in front of her.

Xiao Zuoming used his body to block the sword for her, and the sword pierced right into his chest.

The assassin was also startled and subconsciously drew his sword.

"puff--"

Blood splattered all over the ground.

Yueying kicked the assassin who was fighting with her hard, and then immediately supported Xiao Zuoming who was already falling down.

Xiao Zuoming stretched out his hand and pointed to the side with trembling hands. Yueying followed the direction of his finger and saw that Chu Yao and Xiao Zuochen had been standing beside them without them noticing, with two Yan Luos standing behind them.

The two assassins were also somewhat at a loss when they saw the situation in front of them, and glanced at Chu Yao and Xiao Zuochen. Chu Yao frowned, and the two immediately ran away.

"Are you stupid? Why did you help me block the sword?"

Yueying was angry and wanted to cry. She also made it clear whether she was worried about Emperor Mingren or Xiao Zuoming. But she didn't pay any attention to the meaning of Xiao Zuoming's finger just now.

Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, and Chu Yao and Xiao Zuochen were watching them silently, Xiao Zuoming was so angry that he wanted to raise his arm again. However, due to excessive blood loss, his strength was draining away, and he finally fainted.

In Yueying's eyes, Xiao Zuoming seemed to want to raise his arms to wipe away her tears.

"Xiao Zuoming? Xiao Zuoming!"

Yueying shook his body vigorously, but got no response at all.

"He's dead..."

Yueying said absentmindedly, as if there was no light in her eyes.

"Um... maybe, he can still be saved?"

Xiao Zuoming spoke tentatively from the side.

After hearing this, Yueying suddenly turned around and looked at him.

"Really?"

"Yes, but you have to let him go first."

It turned out that Yueying had been hugging Xiao Zuoming tightly since she hugged him, and there was no sign of letting go even until now.

Yueying realized her behavior and thought that they must have seen her appearance just now, so she hurriedly let go and laid the person flat on the ground.

"Then, then you guys hurry up and save him!"

Yueying gave up the seat next to Xiao Zuoming. Seeing this, Chu Yao looked at Xiao Zuochen with an expression that said, "How can we save this person when he is in this state?"

Xiao Zuochen nodded at him, indicating that he could be saved.

Chu Yao obediently stepped forward and picked the person up in his princess arms, then walked towards the nearest room.

"Go and ask the old man to come over."

Xiao Zuochen gave instructions to Yan Luo, and then spoke to Yue Ying.

"You can come and see it too, so you can feel more at ease."

After Xiao Zuochen finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Xiao Zuoming's room. Yueying paused for a second and followed him.
