The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Most of the people in the palace gathered in Minghua Palace, and even most of the guards stayed there.

Although there were people guarding other places and the number of people was within the specified range, Chu Heyi and Xu Tiansheng still felt a little deserted as they walked along.

After exiting the west gate of the palace and walking forward, the road became narrower and narrower. Chu Heyi followed Xu Tiansheng into an alley.

The houses on both sides were low, but the alley was long and narrow. Plus, it was night, and the lights in the palace illuminated the sky. When they shone from afar here, it seemed as if frost and snow covered the entire earth.

As he was walking, Chu Heyi suddenly stopped and screamed.

Xu Tiansheng asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

Chu Heyi trembled and said, "Rat... Just now a rat ran over the back of my foot and scared me."

Xu Tiansheng was surprised: "The Crown Princess used to be so cool and valiant, how could she be afraid of mice?"

Chu Heyi calmed down and continued walking forward: "It's not that I'm afraid of mice, but if something suddenly crawls onto the back of my feet, I'll still be startled."

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, this rat is too arrogant. If I run into it again later, I will kill it to prevent others from being scared."

Xu Tiansheng pursed his lips. This was indeed Chu Heyi's style. When she was with her younger sister a few years ago, she was so fierce and aggressive. Although she looked thin and pretty, she was like a boy when she took action.

His little sister was afraid of mice. When she was playing in the yard and a mouse appeared, she actually caught the mouse and chopped it to death.

There was even one time when the younger sister was out for an outing and encountered a poisonous snake. Seeing that the snake was about to pounce on her, Chu Heyi pounced on it and pinched the snake's vital points. The snake's body directly wrapped around her arm tightly, and she strangled the snake to death.

Afterwards, she turned pale and collapsed to the ground, and everyone realized that she could be afraid too.

Xu Tiansheng smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect that the Crown Princess still likes to eliminate harm for the people."

Chu Heyi stopped talking and the two continued to walk forward. The alley was very deep and it took them about an incense stick of time to walk there.

A medium-sized courtyard appeared in front of them, and the house looked old. Chu Heyi asked, "Is Miss Xu here? Why would Brother Xu place her in such a place?"

The Xu family in Yizhou is considered a wealthy family, with a large yard and many servants. Xu Shulan is a true rich lady. The environment here is very different from that of the Xu family.

Therefore, Xu Tiansheng was not surprised that Chu Heyi asked this question.

He said calmly, "When you are out, it is not like being at home. I am sorry to make the Crown Princess laugh."

He pushed open the gate of the yard with a creaking sound. The treetops swayed in the wind and mottled shadows fell in the yard.

Two guards walked out of the darkness and bowed to Xu Tiansheng.

Xu Tiansheng explained: "I hired them to protect my little sister."

Chu Heyi nodded slightly and followed Xu Tiansheng to continue walking inside. It was too quiet here.

This courtyard has two entrances. When Xu Tiansheng was about to enter the second door, he suddenly stopped and looked forward. Chu Heyi followed his gaze and saw the fire.

At first the fire was small, only casting a faint outline of the house, but in the blink of an eye, the fire grew bigger and threatened to rise into the sky.

Chu Heyi said nervously: "There's a fire. Which room is Miss Xu in? Is she in danger?"

Xu Tiansheng's face turned pale at the sudden fire, and he swallowed nervously a few times, but he said, "Don't be afraid, there are people over there who will put out the fire. Crown Princess, just follow me."

Chu Heyi followed him and asked, "Did Brother Xu arrange many people to protect Miss Xu?"

Xu Tiansheng said: "My little sister wants to commit suicide. I really have no choice but to arrange for more people to watch her."

Chu Heyi didn't ask any other questions. He followed him around the corner of the house and went up to the attic next to it.

Xu Tiansheng took the initiative to say: "My little sister likes the attic here. She said that the view from the attic to the yard is the best."

This is an active explanation that Xu Shulan does not live in the main building.

Chu Heyi just nodded slightly without responding. She observed the attic in front of her. It was independent of the main building next to it, and there was only one staircase going up and down. Anyone who wanted to pass by here could be seen clearly.

Chu Heyi followed Xu Tiansheng's footsteps and walked up the stairs.

There was a loud noise coming from the backyard, including the sound of a fire burning and servants putting out the fire.

He had only walked up three steps when a dozen assassins suddenly jumped down from the main building next to him. Xu Tiansheng immediately drew out his sword to resist the attack.

"Who are you? Why are you breaking into my house?" Xu Tiansheng shouted angrily. Chu Heyi stood behind him and watched him fight with the other party.

The other party did not answer Xu Tiansheng, but just fought with Xu Tiansheng. The guards guarding the attic heard the noise and quickly rushed over to help Xu Tiansheng.

Chu Heyi had been standing behind Xu Tiansheng. In addition to the guards who came down from the attic, more than a dozen people rushed out from the darkness.

The number of guards here is unexpectedly large.

There was a fire being put out in the backyard and a fight going on in the front yard. Chu Heyi discovered that Xu Tiansheng and others never left the attic. At most, they would jump into the yard when fighting with the masked men.

Maybe it’s because his sister, whom he is willing to risk his life to protect, is in the attic?

Chu Heyi also joined the camp to help Xu Tiansheng and fought with those people. Seeing that the other side had more people, she dodged behind Xu Tiansheng and said, "I don't know why these people are here. Let's go to the attic together and take Miss Xu away. It's too dangerous here."

As soon as she said this, the other party revealed his identity: "We are soldiers, and we have received news that Prince Yuan Qi and the young master of the Wen family are here. You should hand over the child if you are smart, otherwise the court will not let you go!"

Xu Tiansheng said: "The Prince Yuan Qi and the Young Master Wen you are looking for are not here, so go look for them somewhere else. This is where I put my sister. If you mess around again, I will not be polite!"

Another wave of people rushed out from the darkness and fought with those who claimed to be officers and soldiers. The group of officers and soldiers realized that they could not win, so they gradually retreated.

When they evacuated, there was a lot of blood on the attic, stairs, yard, and even on the flowers and plants, and the smell of blood was pungent.

Xu Tiansheng grabbed Chu Heyi's wrist and said in a deep voice: "Follow me!"

Even when going up the stairs, Xu Tiansheng took two steps at a time and walked very fast, not caring that Chu Heyi almost fell.

Arriving at the attic, Xu Tiansheng saw four guards guarding the door. He exhaled, "You have been guarding here all the time? You have never left? Where are the people inside?"

The guard replied: "We have been guarding here. The people inside are still there and there is no movement."

Xu Tiansheng exhaled, asked them to open the door, and pushed Chu Heyi directly in. He pushed with great force, and Chu Heyi staggered and almost hit the table before he could steady himself.

A stronger smell of blood hit me in the face.
