Chapter 109 The Fifth Day! Stop!
Bone Crow originally held a glimmer of hope that if Night Owl caught Ruan Yunsheng, perhaps he could use Ruan Yunsheng's life to threaten these people to let him go.
Unexpectedly, Ah Xiao also fell down...
The Bone Crow struggled to raise its head, the blood foam in its throat muffling most of its voice. It stared intently at the silver-faced figure on the eaves, its eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness. "Sir... Sir, who are you...? Do you know... who you are against?"
The masked man's swordsmanship was so fast that it was unlike anything in human form. After only a dozen moves, he had already shown countless flaws.
He had seen many famous masters in the martial arts world, but he had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.
When did the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion hide such a person?
If he had known this earlier, he would never have taken the job even if General Sun offered ten times the price!
Unfortunately, he didn't get a reply.
Bone Crow coughed up blood, his vision gradually blurred, and the last thing he saw was the silver mask glowing coldly under the moonlight, and the pair of bottomless cold eyes behind the mask.
Pei Jinghong followed the bone crow's distracted gaze and looked towards the eaves.
The silver-faced man sheathed his sword with a quick and decisive movement. The moonlight streamed through his dark tights, revealing a hint of chilling murderousness.
With such skills, if he really wanted to break into the mansion, the high walls and guards of the mansion would be useless.
Xie Yan stood upright on the eaves, glanced down at Pei Jinghong, and turned to leave.
Pei Jinghong frowned. He inexplicably felt that the man wearing the silver mask looked at him with a hint of disgust.
He flew to the front of Xie Yan, drew his sword and stopped him, "Who are you? Why are you breaking into the Marquis' Mansion at night?"
Although the masked man killed the assassin on the ground, it does not prove that he is a good person. What if they are two groups of assassins?
"You invited a wolf into the house, and you still have the nerve to ask such a question."
Pei Jinghong felt familiar with Xie Yan's sarcastic tone, but his hoarse voice was particularly unfamiliar.
Pei Jinghong asked sternly, "Who are you?"
At this time, Ruan Yunbo also rushed over with his servants.
Xie Yan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way!"
Pei Jinghong narrowed his eyes, "You are hiding your head and showing your tail like this, aren't you ashamed to be seen by others?"
As he spoke, he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed the mask on Xie Yan's face!
Xie Yan leaned back, instantly knocked away Pei Jinghong's sword, and knocked the scabbard on Pei Jinghong's wrist with his backhand!
Pei Jinghong's wrist felt numb and he almost couldn't hold the sword in his hand.
He fought back without giving in, and sternly asked, "Are you an enemy or a friend?"
Xie Yan said coldly: "If your eyes are useless, why not give them to someone in need?"
He wanted to leave, but Pei Jinghong stopped him again, "If you don't reveal your identity, you can't leave tonight!"
Xie Yan was already annoyed with Pei Jinghong and had long wanted to teach him a lesson, but he didn't have much time to get entangled with Pei Jinghong now.
According to the original plan, after dealing with the assassin, he should leave quietly.
Who knew Pei Jinghong would not listen!
But Pei Jinghong is Shengsheng's cousin after all, he can't really kill him.
Pei Jinghong also frowned secretly. Many people thought he was handsome and underestimated his enemy, but the man in front of him didn't take him seriously from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't even draw his sword.
He was annoyed and attacked even more recklessly.
"If you are not an assassin, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Yuehua Courtyard.
Zhishu and Zhiqin walked into Ruan Yunsheng's room and said respectfully, "Princess, there really was an assassin tonight, but don't worry, Princess. Ah Xiao has been poisoned and is lying unconscious in the yard. One of the assassins is already dead. The Third Young Master, the Young Master, and the guards from the mansion are all outside."
Ruan Yunsheng yawned and put on his clothes. "Third brother doesn't know martial arts, so why did you come here?"
Yuehuayuan and the third brother's yard were both fumigated with poison. The servants took the antidote in advance, but the assassin didn't know. Whether he climbed through the window or pushed the door, he would definitely be poisoned, so there was no need to worry at all.
Zhishu said, "The guards said two groups of people came. One of the assassins was killed by the other, and the young master is fighting with the remaining assassin."
Two groups of assassins?
One killed the other?
Ruan Yunsheng's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Chuwu had said a few days ago that he would leave Shengjing and would not come back for a year or two. Could it be that Chuqi noticed that there was an assassin in the Marquis' Mansion and came to help?
If this is true, my cousin must have misunderstood.
Her thoughts raced as she put on her embroidered shoes and stood up: "I'll go take a look."
Zhishu quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Princess, the situation outside is unclear, you must not go out!"
Zhiqin also advised: "Yes, Princess, the Third Young Master and the Young Master are both out there dealing with things. With them around, we will definitely be able to handle it properly."
Ruan Yunsheng shook his head and said firmly, "It's okay."
Seeing that he could not persuade her, Zhishu had to take out the cloak to tie it on her, and carefully protected her as she walked out of the room.
As soon as I left Yuehua Courtyard, I saw Ruan Yunbo walking towards me quickly, his face full of anxiety: "Shengsheng, why did you come out? Go back to your room!"
Although he didn't know martial arts, he could see that Pei Jinghong was clearly at a disadvantage.
The masked man never drew his sword, clearly leaving room for maneuver. But his origins were unknown, and if he set his sights on Shengsheng, who could stop him?
On the roof, Xie Yan was already fed up with Pei Jinghong's harassment.
Pei Jinghong saw that he was cautious in his attack, so he simply attacked without defending and acted like a rogue.
Seeing Ruan Yunsheng coming out, Xie Yan could no longer maintain his patience. He immediately drew his sword and the cold light pierced Pei Jinghong's shoulder!
Pei Jinghong's heart suddenly tightened!
He was no match for the masked man to begin with, and he only dared to keep pestering him because the other party was unwilling to hurt him. But how could he have expected that this man would change so suddenly and actually want to fight for real!
Ruan Yunsheng raised his eyes following the sound of fighting and recognized the familiar masked figure at a glance.
Seeing "Chuwu" thrusting his sword towards Pei Jinghong, she hurriedly shouted, "Chuwu! Stop!"
Xie Yan suddenly stopped moving, the tip of the sword was already against Pei Jinghong's shoulder, cutting through the fabric of his outer robe.
If it goes in half an inch further, although it won't kill him, it will be enough to make Pei Jinghong suffer.
Pei Jinghong let out a long sigh and quickly stepped back a few steps.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ruan Yunsheng.
Ruan Yunbo's face was filled with disbelief: "Shengsheng, do you know him?"
Ruan Yunsheng nodded: "I know him."
Pei Jinghong stared at Xie Yan, his tone meaningful: "Since you are acquainted with my cousin, why don't you take off your mask and meet people openly?"
Ruan Yunsheng looked up at the two people on the roof and felt his neck sore.
She raised her voice and said, "Stop fighting, both of you! Come down!"
Xie Yan didn't want to show up in front of Ruan Yunsheng tonight. Shengsheng hated "Chuwu" recently and would definitely be unhappy to see him.
He also couldn't come here under the identity of Xie Yan, because he had just been beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Pei Jinghong. If he showed off his skills and easily killed the assassin, wouldn't he be exposed?
But now Shengsheng has already seen "Chuwu", and hiding from her will only make her angrier.
Xie Yan glanced at Pei Jinghong, sheathed his sword, pointed his toes and flew down the eaves, landing steadily in front of Ruan Yunsheng.
