Chapter 261 Assassin (1)
When they returned home, it was already three quarters past midnight and the child had fallen asleep. Only Zhao Yuping and Yun Mengyi were still waiting in the main room. Upon learning that little Huzi had been rescued, they were secretly relieved. The fact that they had settled down and integrated into the village so quickly was also due to the help of Zhao Dashan and his wife. In addition, Huzi was a well-behaved child, and they did not want him to die so young.
"Who?"
After saying goodbye to Zhao Yuping and others, Shen Xiangwan dragged her somewhat tired body back upstairs, but before she even entered the door, she keenly sensed something strange, and the next second, a sharp blade was placed on her neck.
"Who are you?"
Lowering his head and looking at the sharp blade that threatened his life in the moonlight, Shen Xiangwan asked calmly, "There are guards guarding every corner of the village, and there are also a large number of guards and martial arts masters like the master's wife living at home. However, the other party was able to sneak upstairs without alerting anyone. It is obvious that his martial arts must be unfathomable. I just don't know, is he the Dog Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guard, or someone from the Silver Moon Tower?
"The one who wants you dead."
The man's voice was hoarse. As he spoke, the sharp blade approached her delicate neck again, instantly breaking the skin and flesh on her neck. If he used a little more force, she would be covered in blood and die on the spot!
"Wanwan."
The next second, Yun Mengyi suddenly appeared, holding a sharp sword in her hand. As if sensing her strength, the man grabbed Shen Xiangwan's shoulders and walked around behind her to face Yun Mengyi, with the sharp sword still firmly on her neck.
"lady!"
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Xiu, Yuan Yue and others and the guards went upstairs one after another. The first thing everyone saw was the sharp blade on her neck. No one had expected that someone would be so bold as to sneak into the house and hold Shen Xiangwan hostage.
"Don't worry about me, go protect mother and child... um..."
They all ran to the second floor, leaving the downstairs completely empty. If there was more than one assassin, Zhao Yuping and the others would be in danger. But before Shen Xiangwan could say anything, the sharp blade on his neck instantly penetrated three inches into the flesh. He gasped in pain, and the pungent smell of blood gradually filled the air.
"Wanwan!"
"lady!"
Seeing this, everyone was furious, their faces and eyes filled with worry and anxiety. Yun Mengyi suppressed her anger and said, "If you have anything to say, talk to her nicely. Don't hurt her."
Looking at her bleeding wound, Yun Mengyi couldn't help feeling heartbroken. She hadn't expected that these people would actually sneak into her home. If something happened to Wanwan, how would she explain to Chengyi?
"Go downstairs."
Ignoring her injuries, Shen Xiangwan roared with bated breath after recovering. Her intuition told her that there must be more than one assassin.
"Looking for death... What's wrong with you? I..."
"bump!"
The man holding him hostage suddenly became furious and was about to chop her with a knife, but the next second, he found that he could not move at all, and he was unable to mobilize his powerful internal strength. Immediately afterwards, his body seemed to have lost the support of his bones and he fell to the ground.
“Puff!”
"ah···"
While everyone was still in shock, Shen Xiangwan picked up the assassin's sword that had fallen to the ground and stabbed it into his heart without blinking. The man's eyes widened with confusion and unwillingness. He didn't know why he had ended up like this until his death.
"Who are you? Ah..."
"Wow... Grandma..."
“Ahh…”
“Oh no!”
Suddenly, screams of Zhao Yuping and others, as well as the sound of fighting with swords, were heard downstairs. Yun Mengyi's face changed and she immediately flew down. The others hurriedly followed, leaving only Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying to carefully protect Shen Xiangwan.
"Ma'am, shall we bandage your wound first?"
"No need. Judging from the sound, there seem to be quite a few assassins. You go down and help Master's wife and the others. I can bandage it myself."
Raising his hand to touch his still bleeding neck, Shen Xiangwan refused without a second thought.
"But···"
"Go, this is an order!"
Yuan Yue Yuanying was still a little worried. Their most important responsibility was to protect her, but Shen Xiangwan's attitude was very tough and he directly used an imperative tone.
"yes."
The two did not dare to argue anymore. They carefully sensed their surroundings and made sure that there were no assassins upstairs before they flew downstairs.
The assassin's martial arts this time seemed to be extremely powerful, and the fight downstairs became more and more intense. Shen Xiangwan didn't waste time. After pushing the door and entering the room, he took out a bottle of spiritual well water and gulped it down. He then used it to clean the wound again. After making sure that there was no more bleeding, he simply bandaged it with gauze and went downstairs.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
In the yard, Yun Mengyi was fighting one against three, the guards were also fighting with dozens of men in black, Yuan Yue Yuanying was firmly protecting Zhao Yuping and her grandson, as well as Wei Linger, who had just stepped into the ranks of innate warriors and had no way to participate in the battle. The assassins tonight were obviously different from the ones who had ambushed them before, their martial arts skills were much higher, no wonder they were able to sneak into the house quietly, it seemed they didn't take them seriously at all!
"Ma'am, why did you come down here?"
"Wanwan!"
"Auntie... woooo..."
“Ahhh…”
They immediately noticed that she had gone downstairs. Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying cried out in worry. Zhao Yuping and others who were hiding behind them couldn't help but look over. The little cub cried and rushed towards her, but Wei Ling'er was holding him tightly. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't rush over. Instead, the little wolf cub who had been grinning at their feet ran over and kept barking at her, as if he was complaining to her.
"I'm fine."
Giving them a soothing look, Shen Xiangwan bent down to pick up the little wolf cub, then looked at the battle inside and outside the yard, then walked towards Zhao Yuping and the others: "Mom, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay. Are you hurt?!"
Zhao Yuping was still a little frightened, but when she saw the gauze on her neck, she screamed almost to the point of breaking her voice, and her legs couldn't help but go weak, and she almost couldn't stand. Fortunately, Wei Linger immediately freed her hands and hugged her shoulders.
"Auntie... woooo... Auntie, there are bad guys!"
Wei Linger relaxed a little, and the little cub immediately broke free from her, crying and rushing over to hug Shen Xiangwan's legs.
"Be good, it's okay, auntie will protect you."
Without bothering to reply to Zhao Yuping, Shen Xiangwan squatted down and hugged him gently.
"Mmmmm, auntie, beat the bad guys!"
Burying his head in her arms, the little cub sobbed.
"Okay, beat the bad guys!"
Patting his back soothingly, Shen Xiangwan raised her head and said, "Mom, I'm fine. It's just a superficial wound. You and Ling'er take An Ge'er back to the room first, and leave the things outside to us."
The assassins tonight are all masters. If they continue to stay outside, they will only become targets of the assassins' attacks. If someone is taken hostage, they will be in a passive position.
