It was getting dark, and the family packed up and headed back to the villa.

On the grass outside the villa, the servants had set up tables and chairs and lit a bonfire.

Tonight, the emperor invited all the secret guards and all Zhuangzi's servants to eat roasted venison and roasted lamb. Everyone was happy. Six large round tables were gathered around the bonfire. There was a huge oven next to each table, so that it could be roasted quickly. Bring out a table full of barbecue.

The empress and his family sat at the top table. Lin Yunxi rolled up his sleeves and grilled meat for Murong Hao and the children. The secret guards below imitated the empress and began to grill the meat on their own tables.

"Xier, let me do it. I'll see how sweaty you are." Murong Hao saw that Lin Yunxi was sweating profusely after working for a while, so he stepped forward to help.

"Let's go together so the children can eat more." Lin Yunxi said with a smile.

"Okay, let's come together." Murong Hao also rolled up his sleeves and barbecued with Lin Yunxi.

The two of them were grilling meat, and Lin Yunxi whispered in Murong Hao's ear.

"Husband, Tie Ying is outside the villa right now. I don't know how many people he has brought with him. Do we want to go and take a look?"

"No, he brought hundreds of dead soldiers to wait for the opportunity to strike on the mountainside outside the villa. We are safe in the villa at the moment. The royal guards in the dark are protecting us. Xi'er doesn't need to worry, just have a good dinner."

Murong Hao brushed the sauce on the big deer steak in his hand with a relaxed tone.

"Hundreds of dead soldiers? Husband, how many royal guards do we have in the dark?"

Lin Yunxi remembered the time when she was assassinated by a dead soldier. At that time, there were only more than 60 people and she was frightened. This time, hundreds of people came, and she didn't know how good the martial arts of the dead soldiers outside were.

"There are two hundred royal guards in the dark, and the other party will not attack easily."

Lin Yunxi did not expect that Murong Hao would bring two hundred royal guards with him when he went out this time. Now she could relax and have a nice dinner.

"That's good. I wonder if the man in the silver mask is here?" Lin Yunxi continued to ask.

"Huang Yi just came to report, but he didn't come." Murong Hao thought about something and pursed his thin lips tightly.

"That person didn't come. Our people sacrificed too much fighting them." Lin Yunxi sighed.

"Xi'er have a good dinner. My husband won't let their people hurt our people tonight."

Murong Hao put a long deer steak on Lin Yunxi's plate and asked her to eat it first.

"Okay, I believe husband."

Lin Yunxi bit into a piece of deer steak. It tasted just as good as last time. I guess everyone liked it.

The secret guards ate their meals very quickly. After one group was finished, another group came in. There was a happy scene in Zhuangzi.

Outside the village, Tie Ying put on his half-face mask and led hundreds of dead men on the mountainside not far from the hot spring villa, overlooking the entire villa.

The aroma of roasted venison inside floated to the nostrils of the hundred of them. Today they only brought dry food to carry out their mission. They saw waves of Murong Hao's royal guards entering the villa to eat. BBQ, to be honest, they are envious.

"Tie Ying, when are you going to take action? The royal guards are having their dinner shift at this moment, so it's the best time to take action." Tie Ying's blood sword lay beside him and reminded him.

"I didn't expect that the emperor would bring more than 200 royal guards with him this time. We rushed in like this. We are no match for them. I don't know if there are other agencies in the villa. The royal guards are not vegetarians."

For the first time, Tie Ying lost his confidence. He had failed several times in recent missions for his master. Now that he was tasked with dealing with the emperor and the empress, he suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Yes, the royal guards eat roasted venison, and we can only eat dry food."

Xue Jian sighed. If he had known that he was so frustrated with his current master, he might as well have entered the palace and become an ordinary guard. It would be difficult to change to the wrong master.

"Shut up."

It seemed that Xue Jian spoke of his own pain, and Tie Ying's voice was so cold that it could freeze someone to death.

He was once a royal secret guard who was envied by many people, but he retired after marrying his beloved wife.

After his wife died, his son became seriously ill. He went to many doctors and spent all his savings but failed to cure his son's disease.

When he was desperate, he met his current master. It was the master who hired a famous doctor for his son to save his son's life and take him in. What a twist of fate, he betrayed his old master without knowing it. He was not He had never struggled, but thinking that his son now had someone to help take care of him and that he had books to read, he felt a little more balanced.

Tie Ying looked at the light from the bonfire not far away. To be honest, he envied the royal guards below. They had a decent social status and were treated with courtesy by the emperor and empress. They were people who lived on the edge of a knife. , the best destination should be in the palace.

"Tie Ying, you said that the royal guards knew that we were ambushing here, why didn't they take action and let us stay here overnight?"

Xue Jian was not annoyed by Tie Ying's scolding of him. He knew that Tie Ying had failed in his recent missions, and thinking about it, he felt heavy. He and Tie Ying had been serving their master for some years, and they were colleagues who could chat with each other for a few words.

Tie Ying's wandering thoughts were brought back by the question of the blood sword, and he frowned.

"I also find it strange. The Emperor must know that we are waiting outside. He has so many people, but he doesn't attack us. What is the Emperor thinking?"

Tie Ying has no choice now. If he chooses to attack, his group will definitely suffer countless casualties. If he doesn't attack, he will die miserably if he goes back.

"Then let's just wait here, what else are we going to do?" Xue Jian frowned, Tie Ying didn't know what to do, and he didn't even know what to do.

"Wait and see if there is a chance to make a move." Tie Ying said, thinking about something.

"Okay." Xue Jian responded.

Outside, the secret guards from both sides were following orders, but inside the villa, everyone had finished their dinner and the family was walking on the open lawn.

"Dad, Ning'er had a lot of fun today." Murong Ning held Murong Hao's big hand and smiled happily.

"As long as you are happy, daddy will take a break someday, and daddy will take you around to play again, okay?"

Murong Hao saw that his whole family was having fun today, and he was in a good mood. In addition to his country, he was also accompanied by his family who loved him, so he was really happy.

"Okay, then daddy needs to take more baths in the future." Murong Ning was having so much fun today.

"Okay, daddy, please take a break. That's it for us today. It's time to go back to the palace."

After Murong Hao finished speaking, he looked at all the children. When the children heard that they were going back to the palace, all of them had dark faces.

"Daddy has a secret passage. Do you want to use the secret passage back to the palace with dad?"

Murong Hao looked at the dark valley in the distance. Tie Ying was really too naive to deal with him.

"I think." Several children agreed in unison.

"Let's go home."

Murong Hao led his family to the villa, and he looked at Lin Yunxi apologetically.

"Xi'er, it's rare to come to the hot spring villa today, but you didn't take a bath in the hot spring. My husband will bring you here next time."

Murong Hao originally wanted to soak in the hot spring with Xi'er tonight to clear his meridians, but the dead men outside disturbed their interest.

"Xi'er doesn't want to take a dip, so she should go back to the palace." Lin Yunxi didn't want to take a dip in the hot spring under surveillance.

"Come with me."

Murong Hao led his family and a few personal guards to the village, and entered the stables dedicated to carriages. There were two carriages parked inside that were exactly the same as the ones from this morning.

Lin Yunxi looked around. Is there any secret passage here? Are they going to take a carriage back to the palace like this? Will they be shot into a sieve with arrows by the dead soldiers waiting outside?
