Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

The killers successfully sneaked into Lanyue Pavilion and they tiptoed towards the room.

But at this moment, the door of the next room opened.

Qingzhi, dressed in black, walked out with sharp eyes. At the same time, six men in black came out from the corner of the courtyard.

Their clothes are the same as Qingzhi's, which shows that these six men in black are Emperor Yuan's secret guards.

Ever since Emperor Yuan had sentenced Minister Lin to death, he had anticipated that someone would be unable to contain themselves and would want to take action against Jiang Yueyang.

Therefore, secret guards were sent over for protection early on.

The killers were not panicked when they were discovered. After all, there were more than twenty people in their group.

The leader of one of the assassins said, "You guys deal with the seven of them, and we'll take care of the target."

"Yes."

The other killer leaders had no objection, as this was the best arrangement.

"Do it!"

After that, Qingzhi and the other seven people started fighting with the killers.

The sound of weapons colliding was particularly clear in the quiet night, and Jiang Yueyang woke up from his dream.

The system also warned: [Host, there is an assassin.]

[Assassin? How could there be an assassin?]

Jiang Yueyang turned over and got out of bed. Without even taking off her shoes, she walked to the door and quietly opened it a little.

Then she saw Qingzhi fighting with a group of masked men in black, and Qingzhi even cut off the arm of one of the men in black.

Jiang Yueyang was terrified when he saw this scene. He subconsciously closed the door and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

My heart was pounding wildly and I couldn't calm down, especially when I kept hearing the sounds of sharp swords cutting through the air, piercing flesh, and people falling to the ground.

And there was that strong smell of blood.

After a long while, Jiang Yueyang asked tremblingly: [Xiaogua, are those assassins here to kill me?]

【Based on the current situation, yes.】

What did I do to deserve their death? Did I accidentally offend someone?

System: [The host has no chance of offending anyone.]

"You mean my dad has offended someone? Then isn't he in danger? No, I need to go see my parents."

Jiang Yueyang stood up from the ground with her weak hands, and then gently opened the door.

【Host, don't go out, it's dangerous. 】

"Little melon, I'm worried about my parents. Just do it quietly, quietly, without being discovered. It'll be fine."

Jiang Yueyang moved very carefully, not realizing that her inner thoughts had exposed her.

Qingzhi and the killers looked over together, and the killer leader immediately shouted, "The target has appeared."

Seeing the killer rushing towards her, Jiang Yueyang subconsciously pressed herself against the wall, screaming frantically in her heart: [Ah ...

[Calm down, calm down, Qingzhi is stopping them, hide back in your room now.]

"Girl, go back to your room and don't come out."

The voices of the system and Qingzhi sounded at the same time.

Jiang Yueyang retreated back to her room and asked, "My parents, brother, and others..."

"They're fine."

Jiang Yueyang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that her parents and brother were all fine, but she began to worry about her own safety again.

She lay in the crack of the door and watched the battle outside in fear. Qingzhi seemed to have a few helpers, all of whom were good at martial arts.

But the assassins seemed to be quite skilled, and with so many of them, Qingzhi and his men were unable to deal with all of them at once.

But soon, the assassin was at a disadvantage.

Jiang Yueyang was overjoyed when she saw this situation, thinking that her life was no longer in danger.

It was only a matter of time before the assassin was repelled.

However, before she could be happy for long, one of the assassins threw something at Qingzhi and the others.

The thing fell to the ground and exploded, followed by purple smoke.

I only heard Qingzhi shout, "It's poisonous."

But it was too late. They had already inhaled a little purple mist and instantly felt weak and dizzy.

Under normal circumstances, the purple mist could instantly poison a person, and he shouldn't be in the weak state he is in now.

Perhaps it was because the secret guards had stronger physical fitness, so the effect of the medicine was not that great on them, but it also greatly reduced the strength of Qingzhi and the others.

At the same time, some of the killers were poisoned.

"on!"

At the order of the leader who poisoned the group, the killers who had taken the antidote in advance rushed towards Qingzhi and the others.

Qingzhi and his men struggled to deal with the killer and were soon injured.

But despite this, the assassin could not get close to the room in a short time.

After all, those who can become the emperor's secret guards are not people with weak willpower!

"Anjiu, send a signal for support."

"Stop him!" shouted the killer leader.

Under the cover of his companions, the secret guard named An Jiu took out a small bamboo tube from his waist and successfully sent out a distress signal.

Seeing this, the assassin leader immediately changed his strategy. "You guys hold them back while I take out the target. Otherwise, when their reinforcements arrive, we'll all be dead!"

When faced with the threat of death, people often perform beyond their normal capabilities.

The assassins shouted and launched a fierce attack on Qingzhi and his men, and soon helped the assassin leader break through Qingzhi and his men's defense line.

The assassin leader rushed towards the room with great force. Jiang Yueyang saw him through the crack in the door and quickly locked it.

Then he grabbed a vase and held it in his arms, hoping that it would be able to hold off the assassin for a while when he rushed in.

However, she waited for a long time, but the expected break-in did not happen.

On the contrary, it is much quieter than before.

Jiang Yueyang held the vase and asked nervously: "Xiaogua, what's going on outside now? Why is it so quiet?"

[Another masked man in black appeared and eliminated an assassin with one move.]

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang bravely walked towards the door and reached out to open it a little.

In the moonlight, she saw the black-clothed man the system mentioned, his figure as thin as a shadow and his sword as swift as the wind.

In a split second, the assassins were all killed by a single blow, falling to the ground. Because it all happened so quickly, no one could see his moves clearly.

The only evidence that the man in black was responsible was the wound on the assassin's neck and the blood on the sword.

Jiang Yueyang recognized the sword. It belonged to the man in black who visited last time.

Who is he?

Why are you here tonight?

Following her heart, Jiang Yueyang walked out of the room with full of doubts and stood at the door.

The man in black seemed to notice something and turned around slowly.

The two sides' eyes met, and the man in black's eyes were deep, like an abyss, and seemed to be able to captivate people.

Just by looking at his eyes, Jiang Yueyang knew that this person was no ordinary person.

She stared at the man in black without blinking and asked warily, "Who are you?"
