As the night deepened, the moonlight sprinkled in the yard like water, and there was peace and tranquility, but this silence made people feel uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

Liu Qing and Liu Yun hid quietly under the eaves. They glanced around vigilantly, holding the crossbows tightly in their hands, not daring to relax at all.

Their nerves were on edge, afraid of missing even the slightest sound or movement.

Chunxi was standing in front of Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao's door, her eyes firm and calm.

She quietly touched her cuff, where a scent bomb was hidden.

As long as there was any sign of trouble, she would throw it out without hesitation to protect Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps. The footsteps were light and cautious, as if they were trying their best to avoid making any noise.

Liu Qing and Liu Yun immediately looked at each other, with a hint of vigilance in their eyes.

They approached the direction of the sound quietly, being cautious and careful with every step.

Their figures moved quietly like ghosts, blending into the darkness. Their heartbeats accelerated, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

They knew that a moment of inattention could have fatal consequences.

I saw several dark shadows slowly approaching the yard.

Liu Qing whispered, "Get ready to take action."

Just as the black shadow was about to approach the courtyard, Liu Qing and Liu Yun suddenly took action, and the crossbows in their hands were fired instantly.

There were only a few screams and several dark shadows fell down.

The young lady said to hide in the dark as much as possible, so they did not dare to underestimate the enemy and continued to hide carefully.

Sure enough, it didn't take a while.

More shadows came from all directions.

Chunxi's heart tightened when he heard the noise coming from outside.

At this moment, two dark shadows rushed towards the door like ghosts.

Chunxi threw the scent bomb in his hand without any hesitation.

In an instant, a thick smoke spread rapidly, and the two black shadows fell to the ground in an instant.

Liu Yunniang, who was in the house, also heard the fierce fighting outside. She hugged Ye Xiaoxiao tightly in her arms and comforted her softly, "Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, mother is here." Ye Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, indicating that she was not afraid, and told her mother to be careful as well.

Liu Yunniang was always worried about Chunxi standing alone outside the door, so she said to Ye Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, mother is going to go out to help, you quickly hide under the bed. If someone breaks in, you must enter the space immediately and be sure to protect yourself."

Although Ye Xiaoxiao was very reluctant to leave her mother, she also knew that she could not become a burden to her mother, so she nodded bravely to show that she understood.

Liu Yunniang looked back at her daughter again, and only after making sure that she was safely hidden did she walk out of the inner room with peace of mind.

However, at this moment, a black shadow broke through the window like lightning and rushed into the house, rushing straight towards Chunxi.

Liu Yunniang's eyes suddenly flashed, she flew forward, grabbed Chunxi, and dodged the enemy's fierce attack by turning sideways.

She quickly shot an arrow from her sleeve and shot it towards the enemy's neck.

Very good, a deadly blow.

Liu Yunniang in the house was finally able to escape the crisis temporarily.

However, she knew that this was only a temporary calm and there were more enemies waiting for them outside.

The battle outside became increasingly fierce. Although Liu Qing and Liu Yun were brave, there were so many enemies that they gradually became exhausted.

Liu Yunniang asked Chunxi to stay in the house and be on guard. She left the main hall and flew onto the roof.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves approaching quickly in the distance was heard, getting closer and closer. Mo Feng and his men arrived in time.

When he received the news from his subordinates, he was still a little bit unbelieving.

There actually is someone so bold as to commit murder right under the emperor's feet.

He sent someone to report to the general, and he brought people here personally.

A group of people quickly joined the battle. They were all masters who had fought on the battlefield, and the situation turned around in an instant.

When Liu Yunniang saw them at first, she thought they were helpers of the man in black, but then she saw them killing the man in black.

It doesn't matter who they are, as long as they are helpers.

After a while, all the men in black were repelled.

Mo Feng and his men quickly defeated the men in black with a fierce offensive, demonstrating their strong fighting power and tacit cooperation.

Liu Yunniang looked at this scene and felt relieved, but at the same time she was curious about these sudden helps.

Who are they and why do they appear and help me at this time?

However, this was not a good time to ask.

Liu Yunniang decided to deal with the current situation first and ensure the safety of her family.

She looked at Mo Feng and others with gratitude, then turned back into the house to check if Chunxi and Xiaoxiao were safe.

Ye Xiaoxiao and Chunxi entered the inner room together, "Xiaoxiao"

Only after hearing her mother's call did Ye Xiaoxiao let go of the hand that was tightly holding the jade pendant and nimbly crawled out from under the bed.

"Mother"

Liu Yunniang hugged her daughter tightly, and finally she felt relieved. "Don't be afraid, mother is here. It's okay, it's okay, Xiaoxiao."

Mo Feng stayed where he was, directing his men to clean up the scene and investigate the identities of the men in black.

In fact, he had already known that these people were sent by Princess Pingle, but since everything requires evidence, the identities of this group of people must be clarified.
