The wind blew past, and the bamboo forest rustled, covering all sounds.
Xie Yan stood on a high place, with a cold look on his fair and handsome face.
Seeing this scene, the two brothers, Yue Rong and Yue Ming, looked at each other, feeling uneasy.
After a while, the hidden guard who went to the front to inquire about the news came back and said in a hoarse voice: "There are many guards inside and outside the main courtyard. If you want to enter quietly, it will be quite difficult."
A cold look flashed across Xie Yan's eyes, and veins appeared in the hand holding the hilt of the sword.
Yue Rong couldn't help it, and suggested: "Master, what we brought here are all good players who are one against ten, if we force our way, maybe we can't..."
When the big hand with well-defined joints was raised upwards, Yue Rong closed his mouth uneasily.
He looked at Xie Yan, full of words to say.
"Don't make unnecessary sacrifices." Xie Yan said coldly, "Wait until nightfall to act."
Yue Rong suddenly realized, and hurriedly retreated into the bamboo forest beside him.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the front yard.
"There are assassins!"
Hearing this, Xie Yan stood still in place.
Yue Rong's expression changed drastically, and he reminded: "Master, the county master is still in the front yard!"
"There is someone protecting her, don't worry, just do your part." Xie Yan's voice was cold, as if he didn't care about Gu Ning's life or death.
Yue Rong was sternly pinched by Yue Ming, and closed his mouth embarrassingly.
In the front yard at this time, dozens of men in black with strong martial arts jumped down from the high fence. They were dressed in black, which was particularly conspicuous in the daytime.
As soon as these people appeared, there was screaming in the front yard.
Gu Ning hid behind Chunyu, seemed extremely disturbed, and screamed.
Chunyu and the man in black came and went, her delicate face was tense, and she firmly protected Gu Ning behind her.
And these men in black, without exception, all attacked Gu Ning.
They came menacingly, their eyes were extremely fierce, as if they were going to tear Gu Ning into pieces in the next moment.
Seeing this, everyone panicked.
Mrs. Yuan was surrounded by a group of servants. Seeing this scene, she shouted: "Protect the county lord! Don't let the county lord make any mistakes!"
If something happened to the Changning county lord at Yuan's family, the cavalry led by Princess Dachang would be able to step on Ping Yuan's family in the next moment, and their century-old foundation of the original family would be destroyed!
The more she thought about it, the old lady Yuan wished she could replace her.
Chunyu protected Gu Ning, "smartly" blocking those sword blades.
"Master, if you do this, can you really attract other guards from the Yuan family?"
Gu Ning leaned against Chunyu in a "panic" and whispered: "Of course I can, look at the old lady Yuan!"
Chunyu cast a glance at Mrs. Yuan.
Just as Gu Ning said, at this time, the old lady Yuan was in chaos.
She grabbed one of the guards tightly, and said through gritted teeth, "At such a critical juncture, why don't you hurry up and call out all the guards in the mansion!"
"But the Patriarch ordered..."
"Tell that unfilial son! If something happens to Changning County Lord, he will guard the pile of silver and use it underground!"
There was no more gentle expression on her kind face, and she stared at the guards majesticly.
Hearing this, the guards rushed towards the original Patriarch.
Gu Ning's hair was in a mess, and there were bloodstains on his cheeks.
Madam Yuan watched this scene, clutching her chest, her heart almost stopped beating.
"County Lord!" Chunyu blocked a sword that was stabbing at Gu Ning with her body, and her clothes were stained red with blood on her shoulder blades.
The master and servant were very embarrassed, and more and more men in black surrounded them.
Fortunately, a large number of guards rushed in from the gate of the courtyard, easing the current crisis.
Gu Ning's eyes flickered slightly: "Are all the guards of the original family here?"
"Nine times out of ten." Chunyu said softly, "I have sent someone to inquire before. The Yuan family used the banner of protecting the old lady Yuan, and the guards in the mansion were twice as many as other families. There are no more than 200 guards in the mansion, and there are assassins sent by us in every place where guests are entertained, and the guards sent by the original owner can only be the people who guarded the main courtyard before."
"That's good." Gu Ning nodded contentedly, feeling very happy.
Seeing her smiling, Chunyu boldly asked: "Master, you have done so much for the guard, did you really not tell him?"
"The mountain people have their own tricks." Gu Ning winked at Chunyu, leaned close to her, and said softly, "You just need to remember to cooperate with me."
Seeing the smile in Gu Ning's eyes, Chunyu's heart trembled, and an ominous premonition came to her heart at this moment.
At that time, in the bamboo forest outside the main courtyard.
Yue Rong stared dumbfounded at the retreat of the tightly guarded guards, and opened his mouth wide: "Master, are they trying to lure snakes out of their holes?"
"Perhaps the situation in the front yard is critical." Xie Yan's handsome face was still extremely indifferent, "You come in with me, and the rest are waiting outside."
Yue Ming said anxiously: "Master, let the subordinates go!"
"The secret room of the original family's study uses the technique of dunjia, you can't see where the mechanism is." Xie Yan said in a deep voice, "Now that the guards are restrained in the front yard, it is a good time to act."
Before Yue Ming could answer, Xie Yan had already jumped onto the wall of the main courtyard.
Yue Rong followed closely behind, closely following Xie Yan.
Seeing this scene, Yue Ming could only sigh, and honestly led his people to guard outside the woods, keeping an eye on the movement outside at all times.
There is nothing special about the study of Yuan's family, Yue Rong entered it, walking around like a headless fly, and never noticed anything unusual.
Xie Yan quietly landed in the study room, just glanced around the room, and then grabbed the vase on the desk.
I saw that the vase remained motionless, as if it had been nailed to the desk.
Yue Ming's eyes lit up: "Could this be a mechanism?"
Xie Yan never answered, and slowly turned the vase.
With a "rumbling" sound, the bookshelf split into two and moved to both sides, revealing a dark secret room.
"That's it." Xie Yan's thin lips curled up, and he looked directly at the secret room with cold eyes.
……
In the front yard, there are more and more guards.
Yuan Chongshan, the head of the original family, had a gloomy expression. The guard wanted to protect him behind him, but he pushed him away.
"Not right!"
Yuan Chongshan's voice was hoarse, and the uneasiness lingered in his heart, reaching its peak at this moment.
These assassins came aggressively, but they didn't hurt a single person. They said they were going towards the county lord Changning, but after so long, they failed to break through the protection of those few ordinary guards.
so many kinds of...
Yuan Chongshan only felt that his heart was pinched by a pair of big hands, which made him almost out of breath.
"Go back!" He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Follow me to the study!"
However, the guards were entangled by the assassins and could not be separated at all.
As soon as Yuan Chongshan gritted his teeth, he was about to go to the study by himself, but unexpectedly, the aunt beside him grabbed him tightly and said in panic: "Master, you can't go into danger alone!"
"Stupid woman!" Yuan Chongshan shook off her hand, striding towards the study.
No one knew the importance of those things better than him. If those things were seen by others, the Yuan and Ling families would probably be wiped out along with Jiang Zhizhou!
Thinking of this, Yuan Chongshan's heart trembled.
He must not allow this to happen!
At this moment, an exclamation came from the courtyard next door: "County Master! What's wrong with you, County Master!"
Yuan Chongshan stopped immediately and looked to the right in disbelief.
There was a riot on the right side, and among the crowded crowd, he saw Gu Ning limply collapsed on the ground, his eyes closed tightly, and his bright little face was completely devoid of blood.
Yuan Chongshan thumped in his heart, and before he could speak, he saw those black-clothed assassins receding like a tide, and only cries and screams remained in the noisy courtyard.
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, his hands and feet were extremely cold, and he was about to go to the study immediately.
But at this moment, Mrs. Yuan viciously twisted his ears: "Changning county master fainted in our mansion, where are you going?"
"Mother, the study room..."
"I've already ordered someone to count. The servants brought by the guests are all in the front yard, and there are layers of guards guarding the outside of the house. How can others enter your study? If you leave under such circumstances, it will only make people suspect Your study room! How many times do I need to teach you that there is no such thing as 300 taels of silver here?"
"I……"
"Hurry up to appease the guests!" The old lady Yuan scolded angrily, "Could it be that you want to collect my body for me on my [-]th birthday?"
"Son, don't dare!" Yuan Chongshan waved his hands again and again, never daring to leave the front yard.
It was supposed to be a lively birthday party, but these daring assassins appeared. Everyone felt sorry for them and did not dare to take a step outside, lest they would become the ghosts of those assassins.
Even though Yuan Chongshan comforted him over and over again, there were still people who were unwilling to leave Yuan's family.
No one knew whether that group of assassins were waiting for them to throw themselves into the trap.
Yuan Chongshan was so anxious that the corners of his mouth swelled several times, but he didn't dare to speak loudly with these distinguished guests, so he could only settle them down one after another in aggrieved manner.
After coming and going again and again, the sky was getting dark, and Yuan Chongshan got out of the tedious affairs.
He rushed to the study in a hurry, but didn't see anything unusual.
Looking around the secret room, there was no sign of the many mechanisms he had carefully set up being triggered.
After checking four or five times like this, he was relieved, holding the account book in cold sweat.
"It's okay! It's okay!" He whispered, "It seems that today is indeed an accident."
……
The most luxurious courtyard of the original family, apart from the main courtyard, is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion on the east side.
Gu Ning, who "fainted out of shock", was leaning weakly on the bed, his red lips parted slightly, and he swallowed the porridge handed by the man bit by bit.
Xie Yan's thin lips were pursed into a straight line, but as soon as he showed impatience, the woman on the bed would raise her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, and look at him with aggrieved eyes.
Chunyu's words would also ring in my ears repeatedly: "For you, the county lord will not hesitate to risk himself, and let his soldiers pretend to be assassins to assassinate him, so as to buy you time."
He glanced coldly at Yue Rong behind him, Yue Rong understood, and quickly pulled Chunyu over, and the two left the bedroom together.
Here, only he and Gu Ning are left.
Gu Ning lowered his eyes, his crow feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly, looking extremely weak.
But Xie Yan knew that the person in front of him was the best at disguising.
Xie Yan stood on a high place, with a cold look on his fair and handsome face.
Seeing this scene, the two brothers, Yue Rong and Yue Ming, looked at each other, feeling uneasy.
After a while, the hidden guard who went to the front to inquire about the news came back and said in a hoarse voice: "There are many guards inside and outside the main courtyard. If you want to enter quietly, it will be quite difficult."
