Chapter 211 Oh no, we've been kidnapped!
"Uncle Ding?!"
Yun Zhao was startled and jumped up from the stool in a flash, then hurriedly scrambled down.
"Master, please don't wander off here!"
Yun Zhao ran to the door, reached out and opened it, releasing the green snake from his wrist at the same time.
"Xiaoqing, protect my brother!"
She jumped out of the room as soon as she finished speaking, and the door was full of people.
"Brother Jingchen, something's happened to Uncle Ding!"
Yun Zhao flipped over and climbed onto the tiger's back, and the tiger carried her away at breakneck speed!
The action was swift and decisive; before anyone else could react, Wei Jingchen immediately used his lightness skill to chase after him.
"Dad, you all go inside quickly, I'll go with you!"
Xu Zhenbang quickly grabbed the large knife beside him and pushed his daughter into the room.
"Quickly, you guys go inside! Ah Fei, protect your sister and brother-in-law!"
After saying that, he quickly went out.
Lu Xun stood guard outside the door and called out towards the roof, "Ali, what do you see?"
"Father, we didn't see anything, but the tiger went towards Lord Ding's courtyard. Should we call the officers?"
Lu Li caused trouble last time, so he dared not relax his vigilance at all this time.
"You stay up here, I'll go get help!"
As Lu Xun spoke, he climbed over the wall and left.
Xu Zhenbang climbed onto the roof, heard a sound, turned around and saw that Lu Li had already drawn his bow and nocked an arrow, his momentum even more impressive than that of the best archers in the army.
Who is this person? So young, yet possessing such skill!
Xu Zhenbang was startled, but he had no time to investigate further.
"Young man, this is yours!"
"good!"
Lu Li subconsciously agreed, and then heard someone land behind him.
It seems Xu Zhenbang has gone out.
The Suzhou government office was very large, with several courtyards in the back.
Ding Yan had to attend to official business and remained in the front hall.
Their group was in a courtyard at the back. For safety reasons, the Wei family children shared a room with the Gao family.
Yun Huaijin and Xu Zhiqian, who were removing the poison, were in another room, while Xu's mother and daughter and Wu Lianzhen were in the smallest room next door.
The wounded, including Xu Yinan, were placed on the edge of the courtyard to avoid being discovered by Zhuge Yue and the two from the Prince of Huainan's residence.
With Ding Yan vouching for them, the officials stayed in the adjacent courtyard and did not guard them.
The commotion was quite loud, and naturally woke up quite a few people.
This includes Zhuge Yue.
When she sat up, her eyes were bright, and Zhixia, who was watching over her, also woke up.
"Something seems to have happened!"
Zhuge Yue said in a low voice.
Zhi Xia immediately drew her dagger and stood by the door.
Zhuge Yue was taken aback by her posture.
I never expected that this maid would know some martial arts.
After listening for a moment, Zhuge Yue said, "It seems they're not coming this way!"
In the main hall, Ding Yan was dealing with matters quite late, and his subordinates came forward to advise him to go and rest first.
Ding Yan rubbed his forehead wearily.
"Has the Ling family made any moves today?"
"No, it's very quiet. The officers shouted a few times this morning."
They quieted down afterwards, perhaps knowing that no matter how much they shouted, the adults wouldn't show favoritism.
The subordinates reported the facts truthfully.
Ding Yan paused in his movements.
Giving up so easily?
This doesn't seem like the kind of person who would incite the people to cause trouble, or even dare to prevent him from leaving the city.
"Something's not right, this is a trap!"
Ding Yan felt something was wrong and was standing up when there was a sudden noise outside the door.
The Imperial Guards were not to be trifled with either, and they immediately blocked Ding Yan's path.
"There's a murderous aura! Protect the master!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than several dark figures burst through the window, their sharp swords piercing the air!
"Assassins! Protect the master!"
All the officials guarding the main hall immediately sprang into action, and Ding Yan, carrying the documents, ran to the back.
The dark figure that broke through the window was like a ghost; in a few flashes, it passed the Imperial Guards!
The Imperial Guards felt a jolt of fear, knowing full well that they were no match for them.
"Quickly, take the adults away!"
A group of people lived in their backyard; there were experts there, and also a ferocious beast!
The others immediately reacted and, under cover, led Ding Yan out through the back door.
Unfortunately, this time the real masters have arrived.
Just as Ding Yan came out of the back door, the archers were already prepared.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The sound of something cutting through the air reached them, and the Imperial Guards instinctively turned around and raised their swords to deflect the attack.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Come inside!"
No matter how powerful they were, they couldn't withstand the rain of arrows.
At that moment, Lu Li, who was not far away, spotted the archers on the roof.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
One person fired three arrows at once!
"ah!"
A precise hit.
The assassin on the roof realized he had an accomplice and quickly hid back inside.
"Where did this expert come from?"
"I don't know, why wasn't it mentioned that there was a master?"
The group panicked immediately.
The opponent clearly fired three arrows simultaneously, with unparalleled accuracy.
It was so dark that they couldn't even see who the other person was.
The higher-ups said that if this mission fails again, Shadow will be disbanded!
The group immediately became ruthless, scaled the wall, and landed directly on the ground, intending to flank and assassinate from behind.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I landed, I felt a cold sensation behind me.
Turning around abruptly, what came into view was a huge tiger!
"Good heavens, what is this?!"
"Still looking? I'm taking yours! Go, Huahua, let's stop them from bullying Uncle Ding!"
On the tiger's back sat a child who looked about four or five years old.
At this moment, she was excitedly directing the tiger.
Commanding the tiger?
The group reacted immediately, only to see the tiger baring its teeth and lunging forward with a roar!
"Scatter!"
These people were, after all, masters of the Shadow Realm; they only panicked for a moment before quickly regaining their composure.
Tigers are fierce, but if they spread out, one tiger can't possibly take on so many of them, can it?
Unfortunately, they were wrong.
Although there was only one tiger, it wasn't the only tiger that was being attacked!
Just as they dispersed, two figures descended from the sky!
Almost silently, the throat was slit.
Only then did they realize that the tiger had been using a feint!
The assassins slung their bows and arrows behind their backs and drew their daggers, ready for a final battle.
Unexpectedly, the two men, under the tiger's cover, managed to trap them all in an instant!
Realizing that the two were also highly skilled, the assassin immediately sought another method.
"Flower Claws! Slap them away!"
The child's voice caught the assassins' attention, and their eyes lit up.
If we can't touch you, can't we at least touch this little girl?
"Cover me!"
One person bent down, and the others immediately stepped forward to block him.
He moved with incredible speed, taking advantage of the fact that the others had distracted the tiger.
With a leap, he tackled Yun Zhao off the tiger's back!
"Zhaozhao!"
Wei Jingchen exclaimed in surprise.
But then they saw the assassin holding Yun Zhao by the hand, with a dagger pressed against her neck with the other.
"Don't move if you don't want this girl to die!"
Everyone stopped abruptly, and the assassins quickly regrouped.
"We want to kill Ding Yan, why drag this girl into it?"
They all knew that Ding Yan had nothing to do with them.
But they've been observing him these past few days, and this young man seems to treat this young woman quite well.
He holds this girl every day, so he wouldn't just stand by and watch her die!
Yun Zhao was being grabbed by the neck, staring blankly at the person in front of him.
Huh? How did she get caught?
Wei Jingchen was initially flustered, but seeing Yun Zhao's expression, he quickly regained his composure.
He sheathed the soft sword in his hand, a smile playing on his lips.
"I never imagined that the people of your Shadow Clan had fallen so low that they had to use a child as a shield."
The assassin's face immediately turned ugly.
Yun Zhao blinked, and under her sleeve, her small hand was already holding a packet of medicine powder.
"Uncle, I advise you to let me go, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
