Xie Ling stepped on the eaves and flew over here using light skills.
From a distance, she saw a dark mass, and her heart sank slightly. As expected, all the guards of the Nangong family had come here.
Before she could jump down, a tall figure appeared in front of her like lightning.
Then he put his arms around her waist without saying anything and held her tightly in his arms.
Xie Ling looked up, and could only see a sharp jaw.
The man's embrace was safe and strong, and the iron mask looked very cold and heartless in the moonlight.
He seemed to sense something, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at Xie Ling's face seriously.
His eyes were gentle, like a river of spring water flowing backwards.
In three years, Gu Wei's shoulders became broader and his back became thicker, and he now had the body shape of an adult man.
Xie Ling is only 1.7 meters tall, but she is considered petite in his arms.
A familiar cold fragrance went into Xie Ling's nose. For some reason, her nose felt a little sour and her eyes felt dry.
"Why are you here? Am I dreaming?"
Gu Wei couldn't help but bend his eyes, "It's not a dream, I'm here to pick you up."
Although Xie Ling was shocked, the situation was urgent and there was no time to reminisce.
She pinched Gu Wei's arm and signaled him to put her down.
Gu Wei pretended not to feel it and hugged her even tighter.
Xie Ling had no choice but to say, "I have something to say to the guard leader in order not to waste time."
Gu Wei held Xie Ling and turned around, facing the leader.
Xie Ling: …
A black line slid down the guard leader's forehead.
He considered his words and looked at Xie Ling.
"Are you a servant of the Nangong family?"
Xie Ling's face was heavy, "Whether I am or not, you all have to go back. The Nangong family has encountered a catastrophic disaster."
The leader's expression changed instantly, "Why should I believe you?"
Although he said this, he had already grasped the sword in his hand again, half-out of the sheath, ready to fight at any time.
The guards lying on the ground also pricked up their ears.
Xie Ling took out Nangong Yu's personal jade pendant and Nangong Ruizheng's patriarch token from her arms.
She shook.
"Is it enough?"
The faces of the surrounding soldiers turned pale and blue in an instant.
The leader frowned and made a gesture.
In an instant, all the guards on the ground jumped up, everyone was ready, drawing their swords, and the cold tips of the blades gleamed in the moonlight.
The leader quickly bowed to Xie Ling and said, "Thank you. The Nangong family will never forget your kindness in passing on the message."
The next moment, guards, soldiers, and assassins all gathered together and ran towards the Nangong family.
The heavy footsteps and the sharp sounds of swords and guns awakened the silent Kyoto.
Every household closed their doors and windows, and even if they were woken up, they would lie in bed and dare not make a sound.
It's not a peaceful night.
———
On a tall building.
The young man frowned and pointed at a certain street: "Sir, look, that black mass, is it the guards of the Nangong family? How did they receive the news so quickly?"
The old man stroked his gray beard and spoke in a calm tone.
"After all, it is a century-old family and should not be underestimated. If nothing happens, the Nangong Mansion is probably gone."
Just as he finished speaking, a pure black bird flew over and landed in the old man's palm.
After reading the letter, he frowned and sighed, "I never expected this."
The young man asked nervously, "What?"
“The princess of Wei Zhaoguo has sent people to protect the Nangong family, so it seems we have no choice but to send them.
As for destroying the Nangong family, there is no turning back. We can only succeed, not fail!"
———
The Nangong Mansion was now a bloodbath. The once majestic pavilions and towers were now covered in blood, and the floor was littered with corpses.
Nangong Yu was careless for a moment and was stabbed in the arm by the assassin.
He gritted his teeth, spun around, and chopped off the man's head.
There were fewer and fewer companions around him, the hand holding the sword was shaking more and more, and his snow-white clothes were dyed deep red.
But he can't retreat.
Nangong Rui was behind him.
Without Nangong Ruizheng, the Nangong family would be really finished.
Even though the assassin on the opposite side kept provoking him, he could only bite the tip of his tongue to stay awake.
"Nangong Yu, why are you struggling? We killed your mother. Don't even mention it, women from aristocratic families are so cool. And your cowardly father..."
Nangong Yu cut off his head with one sword.
Blood spurted out, staining his fair face bright red.
Nangong Yu's eyes were also filled with bloodshot, and everything within his sight was red.
The sky, the earth, the houses, the floors, the endless assassins...
Just when the string in his mind was about to break, dozens of dark shadows landed like eagles, standing on the same front with him to fight against the assassin together.
With their participation, Nangong Yu felt much more relaxed, and the assassins gradually fell into a disadvantage and dared not act rashly.
These people are not the Nangong family’s guards, who are they?
"Young Master, we are the secret guards of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and we are here to help you protect the Nangong Mansion!
Your parents are fine, don't listen to them, Her Royal Highness the Princess has already personally brought people to protect them!"
Someone spoke loudly to Nangong Yu.
The veins on Nangong Yu's hand holding the sword were exposed, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
The Princess they were talking about was the wife he had forgotten in the inner courtyard since their marriage.
His head was numb and he could only utter two solemn words with difficulty.
"Thank you very much."
After a while, heavy footsteps were heard outside the mansion.
Nangong Yu half-knelt on the ground.
Xie Ling passed the news.
The guards of Nangong family are all back.
As long as the guards can hold out through tonight, he will send people to the military camp early tomorrow morning to transfer the troops under the Nangong family back to Kyoto!
The guards of the Nangong family are all elite.
With their participation, no matter how many assassins there were, they would all be strangled to death.
By the time they had killed them all, it was already late at night.
Several leaders finally had time to find Nangong Yu.
Everyone looked exhausted and their bodies were bright red, as if they had been fished out of a bucket of blood.
"Master, I am late."
Nangong Yu had a thoughtful look on his face and did not look relieved after killing all the assassins.
Instead, he gripped the sword even tighter.
Those assassins were obviously no match for the Nangong family guards. They were killed one by one with one sword, just like cutting cabbage.
So, why bother sending so many assassins to die?
There is only one possibility.
Kill energy.
Looking at everyone's tired faces, Nangong Yu's heart was in turmoil, and he just hoped that he guessed wrong.
But before he could say anything, thousands of red shadows suddenly appeared above the eaves of Nangong's house, covering the sky and the sun, like blood!
Everyone's face changed drastically!
Bloody Yin soldiers!
