In a hazy state, Qin Su heard a creaking sound, the sound of toes stepping on tiles. He suddenly opened his eyes and listened intently to the sounds coming from the roof.
In the stillness of the night, even the slightest sound was amplified. Qin Su heard the noise but did not get up; instead, he chose to observe the situation quietly.
Had my whereabouts been exposed?
Those people wanted to take action against him before the New Year. Even if they couldn't kill him, they could at least injure or maim him. As long as it affected his attendance at the palace banquet, he could be accused of disrespect by the emperor. The words "disrespect for imperial authority" and "disregard for the relationship between ruler and subject" were always the words that the censors used to impeach him.
"Young Master, there's an assassin. But it doesn't seem to be coming for us." Piaoxue appeared silently throughout Qin Su, like a moving ghost, drifting and elusive.
Qin Su: "......"
Thinking of Mo Lan next door, Qin Su got out of bed, but couldn't help but wonder, "That woman has only been in Jiang County for a short time, and she's already offended someone."
How many people are on the other side?
"Reporting to Young Master, there are ten of them, all professional assassins, heading towards Miss Mo Lan's courtyard." As she spoke, Ting Yu also sneaked in quietly. While speaking, she couldn't help but yawn. She had just fallen asleep and was woken up. How annoying.
A professional assassin?
He knew that woman was capable, but he didn't expect to offend such a tough nut as soon as he arrived in Jiang County.
However, he was very curious about who Mo Lan had offended.
Qin Su narrowed his eyes, then his figure flashed, and he jumped out of the back window.
Seeing the young master's anxious expression, Tingyu couldn't help but grin. After this, their relationship might even progress further.
"You idiot, let's go." Piaoxue rolled her eyes at Tingyu and nimbly jumped out of the window.
"...Relying on his superior lightness skills, he only knows how to bully me."
Tingyu pursed her lips, took out a packet of medicine powder from her pocket, and swaggered out the front door.
At that moment, Mo Lan and Han Shuang went into the courtyard together as soon as they heard the noise.
Looking at the two masked assassins in black standing in the courtyard, and then glancing at the few others hiding around, he sneered, "Yue Qun is really petty. He resorts to knives and guns over the slightest dispute, which shows how narrow-minded he is. You'd better watch out. Even if you survive today, you won't live to see the rest of the world alive."
Hearing her boss reveal the other person's identity in one sentence, Han Shuang was surprised. "Boss, how did you run into Yue Qun?"
"I happened to see him harassing a respectable woman, so I lent a hand, and he holds a grudge against me." Mo Lan chuckled lightly. All told, she had only been in Jiang County for less than two days, and the only person she had offended was that grandson Yue Qun. She didn't even need to think about it.
Mo Lan didn't lower her voice intentionally; both the man in black opposite her and Qin Su on the roof could hear her clearly.
Hearing his boss's explanation, Han Shuang pursed his lips and tightened his grip on the longsword. "Damn it!"
"He truly deserves to die." Because of a little personal desire, he used the assassins of the Music Pavilion, ruining the reputation of the Music Pavilion. He deserves to die several times over.
The man in black narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two women in the courtyard, and then growled, "Kill them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of swords whistling could be heard, and several swords gleaming with cold light came straight at Mo Lan Han Shuang's throat.
Ding ding~
The sword tip was deflected halfway, and Qin Su and Piao Xue stood in front of the two.
"Ten people are nothing to fear," Qin Su murmured softly without turning around.
Before Mo Lan could speak, Ting Yu, dressed in a flamboyant red outfit, walked in from the main entrance, grinning, "Miss Mo Lan, how can a fight be complete without us?"
