Xie Ling's eyebrows slightly frowned, "Surrounded?"
Then he walked over, opened the window, and looked out quietly.
In the pitch-black courtyard, two groups of people were fighting each other so fiercely that their figures could not be seen clearly.
Nangong Yu's eyes were cold and his voice was calm.
"It seems that the news that the Nangong family has no guards tonight has spread. Someone wants to suppress our Nangong family. Xie Ling, I will protect you out of the house immediately. There will be chaos tonight!"
Xie Ling looked at the group of well-trained killers outside the yard who were no less capable than death squads.
She knew that it was more than just suppression.
If things don’t go well, the Nangong family might be wiped out tonight!
It's lonely at the top, that's how it is.
Nangong Yu moved quickly, put his hand on the bookshelf, opened a secret room, and put Nangong Ruizheng and the unconscious Xu Haitang inside.
After closing the secret room, he pulled out a cold, slender sword from somewhere and used it to protect Xie Ling.
The young man's whole body was cold, and his gentle temperament faded in an instant, and his eyes became serious.
"Xie Ling, follow me closely. Don't worry, even if I die, I will protect you well and will never let you get hurt."
Just as he finished speaking, three assassins rushed in from outside.
They came in during the chaos and were probably injured. A strong smell of blood filled the room.
"Young Master, there are thieves attacking! We will escort you and the head of the family away immediately!"
Nangong Yu waved his hand, "Just stay outside the courtyard and protect Grandfather. I will fight alongside you."
After a pause, he continued, "My second brother is studying abroad. If anything happens to me, he will be the new young master of the Nangong family."
"Young Master!"
The assassins wanted to speak, but Nangong Yu swung his sword, and the sharp sword energy cut the long hair of the three men, but left them unharmed.
The three of them stared wide-eyed.
Obviously, he didn't expect Nangong Yu to have such martial arts skills.
Nangong Yu's voice was cold, "Follow my orders immediately!"
After speaking, Nangong Yu turned his head and looked at Xie Ling with deep eyes.
"I don't know if I'll have the chance to call you sister after tonight."
He narrowed his eyes. "Sister, my swordsmanship is unparalleled. Please trust me. I can protect you safely when you go out."
Xie Ling frowned slightly.
Is Nangong Yu ready to die?
"Do you have any guess as to who the thief is?"
Nangong Yu sneered, "The Murong family, the royal family, the enemy... anyone could be involved. To be able to get the news about the Nangong family and come in quietly, there must be an insider.
Xu Haitang's move just gave them an opportunity. She is really the calamity star of my Nangong family."
Nangong Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"But don't worry. With me here, you will be safe. I will give you a map with the location of the Nangong family bank on it. This is our small compensation to you.
From now on, no matter if the Nangong family still exists in this world, you don’t have to bear any hatred. As a big brother, I just hope you can live happily and safely for a long time. "
These words really sound like leaving room for final arrangements.
Nangong Yu is indeed a charismatic leader and a responsible big brother.
The three secret guards couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Xie Ling patted the hem of her skirt and took off the Emei spikes from her hair. "I don't think I've ever said that I'm actually very good at martial arts. I admire you and I'm willing to help you. I'll send a message now and ask the Nangong family's guards to come back quickly."
Nangong Yu sighed.
"The time it takes you to deliver the message is enough for them to kill everyone in the mansion. The killing happens in an instant... Look outside."
Xie Ling followed Nangong Yu's line of sight.
In the courtyard, the bodies of the dead soldiers were increasing.
No matter how powerful the assassins are, they cannot resist the killers who keep coming one after another.
These killers seemed to be immortal. The corpses were piled up in piles and the whole courtyard was filled with the smell of blood.
Who knows how many killers are lurking in the dark night.
Sudden!
A killer approached the window and stabbed Xie Ling's eyes with a sharp sword!
Xie Ling blocked quickly, but Nangong Yu stretched out his sword and stabbed it straight into his chest!
Nangong Yu looked serious, "Sister, I know you care about us, don't worry, it will be fine, trust me, I will take you out!"
Xie Ling didn't want to waste time, so she quickly analyzed, "You are a martial arts expert, and you can fight ten with one. With you here, we can hold out for at least half an incense stick of time with the assassins. But if you send me away and come back, there might really be no one left in Nangong Mansion!"
Nangong Yu frowned, but still insisted.
"I won't let you go alone. It's too dangerous."
Xie Ling's figure was like a ghost, and she instantly put the Emei Spear in her hand against Nangong Yu's neck. He had almost no ability to fight back!
"Don't be so fussy, man. My martial arts skills are no worse than yours! Wait for me to bring people back!"
After scolding, Xie Ling quickly disappeared into the night.
Nangong Yu looked at Xie Ling's receding back, gritted his teeth, picked up his sword and joined the battle.
