Yu Qingyu saw her younger sister suddenly stand still, tilting her head back as if looking at the lamp, but her eyes were darting around, she wasn't looking at the lamp at all, but rather observing her surroundings.
Upon hearing the words "Take it easy" again, the other person's heart stirred, and their relaxed state instantly tightened. They subtly glanced around.
Based on his experience, he did not find anything unusual, but the three brothers still silently directed the guards to surround the sisters in the middle.
They were surrounded by people, which was indeed very dangerous.
"Fu Guang, how about we stop by the restaurant up ahead for a rest?" Yu Qingyu asked his sister, his eyes still fixed on the passersby around them.
"Okay, okay, I'm actually a little tired." Before Yue Fuguang could say anything more, Yu Ningxuan had already nodded in agreement.
He grabbed Yue Fuguang's arm and pulled her in front of him to protect her.
Yu Boming wanted to say he wasn't tired, but his sister stopped him with a sharp look.
She had always had a very accurate intuition since childhood, and at this moment she felt very uncomfortable, the hairs on her body stood on end, and she instinctively sensed the approaching danger.
The rest of the Yu family, especially the girls, were traveling such a long distance for the first time and were indeed tired, so they all nodded and agreed to go to a restaurant for a late-night snack.
Before the family could move to a less crowded area, they suddenly heard the sound of sheng and xiao (traditional Chinese wind instruments), and in the distance, they saw a dragon dance troupe breaking through the crowd and heading in their direction.
Golden scales surged in the sea of light, and cheers erupted wherever the dragon pearl passed.
Millions of lights formed a galaxy in the night, and even the icicles on the eaves were reflected like crystal curtains.
Amidst the dazzling lights, smiles graced the faces of the tourists on the street, but a glint of steel flashed across those smiles, causing some to unconsciously close their eyes.
Moonlight heard a whooshing sound behind him, and alarm bells rang in his mind. Was this one coming for me?
"Little beads!"
【Master, I'm here!】The system tenderly raised a protective shield, covering all the siblings inside.
Then Yue Fuguang heard the clanging of weapons behind them.
A fight has broken out!
With guards protecting them, Yu Qingyu and his companions led their sisters toward the shop ahead. Many others shared his idea, and the area instantly became crowded.
The assassins were dumbfounded. The person they wanted to kill was behind a wall of people. She couldn't get out or escape, and they couldn't get in or catch her!
Some ruthless individuals wanted to fight their way through, but... there were simply too many people to kill them all!
"Hua Jiu, take those with good light-footed skills and fly in!" the black-clad leader ordered.
Their arrows have all been blocked. If they don't send reinforcements soon, the few who have infiltrated to the innermost part will soon be captured.
[Master, those paper cutters have highly poisonous scissors.]
"You can't solve it?"
[The poison of a mere mortal is so potent that even half a pill of antidote wouldn't be needed.]
[That dough figurine vendor used a pretty good hidden weapon, it's a pity he's about to die. Luckily, the owner didn't buy any wontons from that vendor, otherwise he would definitely have poisoned the wonton pot.]
"I'm not stupid. I could tell they were up to something, yet I still bought their food!"
Yu Qingyu really wanted to ask his sister how she could tell that these people were suspicious, since he had no idea that these craftsmen were actually assassins.
Yu Ningxuan felt the same way; they had just wanted to buy some dough figurines to play with!
Moonlight: Having watched too many videos of modern detective novels, I can't say I'm Sherlock Holmes, but I'm always more observant and perceptive than others when it comes to details.
Putting everything else aside, the worst thing about these people is their makeup. The person making the dough figurine is clearly a young man, but he insists on making himself look like an old man. At least take care of his neck and hands!
In stark contrast to the dough figurine maker, the paper-cutting artist, despite being a woman in her thirties, insists on dressing herself up as if she were eighteen. At least tone down that "killer aura" that comes with having seen it all!
[Master, why are they trying to assassinate you? Have you offended someone?]
Moonlight: Don't you know whether I've offended anyone or not? In the past few months, those two have sent hundreds or thousands of people to jail.
In the Great Yan court lately, ministers have been disappearing and being replaced every few days. Where have all these people gone? They've all gone to prison to reunite with their families.
There were at least a hundred people, both inside and outside the court, who went to report to the King of Hell.
However, these were all done covertly. As for the ones done openly, she counted on her fingers and realized that she had offended quite a few people in the past two or three months!
She's really not the type to cause trouble! It was the task that started it!
She made a bold guess, then carefully sought confirmation: "Are these people from You Tan?"
The group of people involved was a bit complicated. The old man and the paper-cutting group were in cahoots, the wonton seller and the customers were in cahoots, and the onlookers were in cahoots.
If your grandfather hadn't brought along the most skilled martial artists from the Yu family, someone might have actually gotten hurt.
Moonlight: !!!
So many people want her dead?
It was the first time I realized how hated I was. Seeing those people trying to rush over but being blocked by layers of people, I inexplicably understood the satisfying feeling of "I love that you can't stand me, but you can't do anything about it!"
She looked around and saw that, indeed, the guards of the Yu residence still had the upper hand. "I'll give these guys extra chicken legs when we get home!"
[Watch out, someone's flying in!]
"These throngs of people are going to become their stepping stones! No, there are too many people here, it's easy to get accidentally injured."
"Brother, let's move to the back and lure these people away!"
Upon seeing this, Yu Qingyu realized that her sister was right. She immediately ordered the protective circle to retreat and leave the crowd, while simultaneously sounding a distress signal.
"Big brother, you have this thing, why are you only doing it now?" Yu Ningxuan asked curiously.
"We're trying to buy some more time, because we're afraid they'll run away when they see us calling for help."
Since the assassins were after Fu Guang, they should leave more people alive. Otherwise, once everyone has escaped, they won't even know who did it, and how will they get revenge?
Over the past few months, Yu Qingyu and his brothers have been subtly influenced by the men of the Yu family, and they seem to be rushing headlong down the path of white skin and black filling.
[Does the master have any guesses about who is behind these waves of assassins?]
"Among those people I offended, those who had the power to take action, the Qi family counts as one, those foreign royal advisors and witches count as another, and if we have to count them all, the Sima family counts as one."
I suspect that my warning to the Bao family about the assassin kidnapping the bride has gotten them's attention.
The Ling family's situation today happened so suddenly. Even if they offended that 'shameless guy,' their retaliation wouldn't have come so quickly and urgently.
While Yue Fuguang was still speculating, the situation outside had changed dramatically. Wei Ping and Cai Xian each led a group of people running in from two different directions.
Judging from the sweat on their foreheads in the cold weather, they must have been running a bit too fast.
Wei Ping and Cai Xian: How could we not be anxious? Hearing that the Junior Tutor had been assassinated at the Lantern Festival nearly scared the soul out of us!
Who dares to be so bold? They're going to cause a huge uproar!
If the Junior Tutor were to suffer even the slightest scratch, having their official robes stripped off would be the least of their worries.
