Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

At this moment, Gao Yao's huge mansion was completely shocked! It was like a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Not only that, even the servants in the mansion, who seemed to be unknown on weekdays, rushed out from the originally quiet side yard like a tide. Each of them held a variety of weapons in their hands, among which the sharp kitchen knives were the most common.

These servants all looked resolute and fearless, and they rushed towards the assassin in the mansion without hesitation. And all this was not accidental. It turned out that Gao Yao was very careful in selecting servants. What he valued was not only a person's ability and skills, but also his loyalty and tenacity deep in his heart. Therefore, he deliberately selected those children who were still young, had a rough life and had experienced hardships, and trained them carefully.

In Gao Yao's eyes, the skill of serving the master may be acquired through hard work, but loyalty is priceless. Because of this, most of the servants in Gao Yao's mansion are in their youth and full of vigor. Moreover, all of them have received Gao Yao's favor, and it can be said that they have a deep emotional bond with Gao Yao.

In this way, when Gao Yao was facing a life-and-death crisis, how could these loyal followers have the slightest intention of retreating? Seeing Gao Yao in danger, they would definitely do their best to fight bravely and not leave any room for him!

In just a short while, Gao Yao killed the dozen enemies fiercely, and only three of them were left alive.

Moreover, they were already surrounded by layers of enemies, unable to escape. Just when Gao Yao was about to capture these defeated soldiers, something unexpected happened. The three men drew their swords without hesitation at the same moment and committed suicide!

"Extremely abominable!"

Gao Yao was furious when he saw this. His eyes were wide open and full of rage. He never expected that these guys would be so resolute and decisive. They said they would commit suicide without any hesitation. Obviously, these people must be well-trained and ready to die!

At the same time, a deafening sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, coming from outside Gao Yao's mansion. Then, two figures rushed to Gao Yao like lightning. They were Erniu and Xiao He. As soon as they appeared, they knelt on the ground without saying a word and apologized to Gao Yao.

"My lord, Erniu failed in his duty and failed to protect you. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

"My lord, Xiao He cannot escape the blame this time. He actually allowed the traitor to break into your mansion. I beg you to punish me!"

At this moment, the first thing Erniu and Xiao He did after entering the mansion was to kneel down and kowtow, admitting their mistakes actively, without any intention of excusing themselves.

"Erniu, pass the order immediately and seal off the city. I want to find all these stinky rats."

"Here"

Gao Yao's face was terribly gloomy at this moment, his eyes were full of anger, and at the same time he was shocked. In the territory he managed, especially the county town of Nanhai County, it was no exaggeration to say that it was Gao Yao's base camp. Someone could actually appear in his mansion and assassinate him right under his nose.

This time, plus the last time he appeared in the southern border and saved Yi Xiaochuan at a critical moment, both times he appeared suddenly without anyone noticing, which shows how powerful the other party's methods are.

"Xiao He, investigate all those who are related and suspected. Don't let any of them go. There must be someone behind this. Do you understand what I mean?"

"My lord, please give Xiao He one day. If you can't find any clues, I will give you Xiao He's head."

After saying this, Xiao He immediately stood up and rushed out of the mansion. Xiao He's face was full of anger. At the beginning, Xiao He was naturally not loyal to Gao Yao. He just admired Gao Yao's courage and spirit. In addition, Xiao He had already seen that if he did not agree to leave with Gao Yao, both his life and Cao Shen's life would be in danger.

However, after arriving in the southern border, Xiao He's imagination of Gao Yao changed more and more. He got a share of the spoils from the arrogant Zhao Tuo, established the Nanhai County City, opened up fertile fields, planted rice, and built cities. Things that were originally impossible in Xiao He's eyes became possible in Gao Yao's hands. This also made Xiao He's original dissatisfaction with being dragged to the southern border by Gao Yao completely disappear, and turned into admiration.

Gao Yao trusted Xiao He even more, and almost handed over all the management power to Xiao He. A gentleman will die for his friend. How could Xiao He not serve Gao Yao so trusted? Now that the southern border has developed, its sphere of influence has become huge to a certain extent. The population has reached more than two million. Even in the Warring States Period, it can be regarded as a country with a relatively small population.

And now there was such an assassination attempt on Gao Yao, and it happened right under his nose. How could Xiao He not understand the principle that a minister should be put to death if his king insulted him? So Xiao He was very angry and immediately sent all his subordinates out to investigate the matter thoroughly.

At that moment, the whole of Chengdu, Nanhai County, had heard the news, and Gao Yao went straight back to the backyard to check on Lu Zhi and the others. After all, one of them was pregnant. Gao Yao also realized that he had ignored the possibility of someone attacking him. It was fortunate that the attack was on himself. If the attack was on the women in the backyard, I'm afraid none of them would survive.

Judging from the other party's behavior, there is no doubt that they are the same group of people who showed up to rescue Yi Xiaochuan last time. And from the way they acted, it is obvious that they do not know their martial arts ability to fight against Xiang Yu, otherwise they would not have sent more than a dozen assassins to assassinate him. This time it was an assassination by assassins, and next time it might be poisoning.

The only person who could do such a thing and had such a big grudge against him was Yi Xiaochuan, but Yi Xiaochuan didn't have the ability, so the person behind it could only be Bei Yan Shanren. This made Gao Yao very unhappy. He had never even met the other party, but he had caused such a big trouble for him. The other party obviously wanted to get rid of him in this way. It seemed that he had really become a thorn in the eyes of this Bei Yan Shanren.

"Husband, are you injured?"

Because there were assassins in the mansion, several women gathered together and were protected by servants. This way, they would be much safer. As soon as Gao Yao entered the room, Lu Zhi and others had already discovered the injuries on his body.
