Chapter 431

After experiencing a short period of confusion, Qi Xiang rushed to the upper room with the hem of her robe in one hand and the food box in the other, and didn't even notice the hot soup spilling out of the sea bowl full of Lantern Festival.

In the upper room, Yaoqin, who was usually calm and composed, showed a ruthless and uneasy look in her eyes, holding the sharp Emei thorn in both hands, and blocked the eyes of Ulanala and Erfu with her slender body.

Confronting Yaoqin were three women with black scarves on their faces.

Dressed in the same way, the same Dao girl, wearing a neat shirt and trousers, the trouser legs were tightly wrapped in leggings, and under his feet were light black boots, each holding a sharp blade in his hand, and was surrounded by the Ula Nara clan and others in a semi-encirclement shape.

"Go find helpers. There was a sound of hurried footsteps behind her, Yaoqin smelled the familiar scent of magnolia in the air, and roared without looking back, and at the same time rushed towards the three people on the opposite side like a fierce tiger on the mountain.

"Master!" Qi Xiang was reluctant to leave her master and run out like this, so she knew that time was tight in front of her and every second was counting, but she still didn't run out according to Yaoqin's words, but trotted two steps to the side of the Ulanala clan.

Holding a small dagger in his hand, Wulanala stared at Yaoqin and the others who were already in a mess in front of him with a panicked face, listening to Qixiang's voice getting closer and closer, he looked distracted, and screamed: "Go find help!"

As she shouted, Ulanara's afterglow noticed a rapidly approaching figure, and pulled past Erf, who was guarding with her back to her, allowing her to dodge the rapidly approaching Hidden Arrow.

"Don't grind any further. Otherwise, we'll all have to leave it here. Erf wiped the cold sweat from her head because she was too scared and nervous, and replied breathlessly.

Although Yaoqin's kung fu is not low, no one who comes is weak. In addition, she had to carefully protect the cumbersome duo behind her, Erph and Ulanara, although she had only fought for a moment, she was already tired and gasped.

With urgent eyes, she took the time to look back at the stunned Qi Xiang, the meaning of which was already self-evident. She gave up her life and death, and just asked Qi Xiang to come to the rescue as soon as possible. Protect your master, Erf.

Qi Xiang is not a person who does not care about the overall situation, and she understands the current situation, and it is the best choice for her to go to find rescue. After all, there is a lot of commotion here, but the secret guards who have been guarding in the main courtyard have not appeared for a long time, and it is obvious that there is some unpredictable mistake, if they blindly stir up the battle situation. I'm afraid it's hard to wait for the rescue guards to come.

It's too late. That's fast.

Although Qi Xiang thought a lot, she didn't delay much, took a deep breath, took the soft sword from her waist and threw it on the ground, raised her leg and kicked it to Erfu's side, and flew out.

In the past, the glass windows with good transparency and thermal insulation performance were not as convenient as the window screens, although Qi Xiang tried very hard to protect her head and face, but she still let the broken glass leave many fine wounds on her body.

A little bit of blood. In the blink of an eye, her pink cheeks were all over her and she didn't even bother to wipe them. He ran out with a limp.

Passing through the somewhat dimly lit central hall, the dark guard who had not appeared for a long time finally appeared in front of Qi Xiang's eyes. I saw that in the neat and quiet front yard and on the cobblestone cross path, there were no less than ten people lying down, either moaning/groaning, or rolling around with their wounds, and some of them were motionless and even stopped breathing.

Next to these people, there are more than a dozen figures dressed in black, jumping and jumping, fighting lively, the sound of weapons colliding, endless, accompanied by some terrible screams, even Qi Xiang has been accustomed to seeing bloody secret guards since childhood, and can't help but have a cold war.

Qi Xiang just glanced at it and withdrew her attention, her eyes looked at the middle hall and the road to the courtyard gate, and finally chose to rush to the courtyard gate from the corridor position, choosing this relatively speaking, less obstructive road.

The courtyard gate of vermilion lacquer is close at hand, Qi Xiang's heart is relieved, and the steps under her feet are much lighter......

"Huh!" Just when Qi Xiang felt that she was about to break out of the chaos, there was a sound of breaking the air behind her, she didn't have time to look back, she rolled down the steps on the spot, and where she was standing, a trembling arrow stared at the gap in the bluestone floor tiles.

The soft sword on Qi Xiang's body was left for Erfu to defend herself, and she was bare-handed at this time, not to mention that those black-clothed people in the chaotic battle had already noticed her, she hurriedly got up, and didn't dare to delay her work here, so she stiffly faced the sharp knife of the archer, and with that force, she rushed out of the hidden portal at once.

"Someone, Fujin is in danger......" ran far away across the path between the flowers, Qi Xiang saw that there were no pursuers behind him, and finally let go of his voice, howling again and again, and ran towards the weeping flower gate while howling.

The Prince's Mansion has a large number of guards.

Qi Xiang thought that a large number of guards would soon be called to relieve the siege, but she howled all the way to the door of the hanging flowers, and did not see half of the guards, and there was silence everywhere, even the delicate lanterns dotted between the flowers and trees were extinguished a lot, and the bright moonlight on the horizon was also hidden under the layers of dark clouds, and it seemed that the surroundings were very dim, as if they were in an empty city, and even the more annoying drums in the past have never sounded.

The weeping flower door was wide open, and the few mothers-in-law who were responsible for guarding the second gate were either crooked in the corners of the walls, corridors, etc., or lying on the cold ground, without breath. Looking at the situation in front of her, the uneasiness in Qi Xiang's heart became heavier and heavier, and the steps under her feet became faster and faster.

The tragic situation in the front yard was not worse than the small square paved with white marble near the Hanging Flower Gate, and it was even more bloody.

"What should I do?" Qi Xiang, who was thinking that she would be able to find a helping hand as long as she ran out of the yard, looked at the dim trees around her in confusion, and squatted down in frustration, clutching her loose bun with both hands, and wailing in despair.

What's going on!

What's going on!

It's obviously a heavily guarded inner city, how did this group of killers appear?

The dignified prince's mansion, where did such a group of vicious killers come from?

is obviously a fortune of a life woman. But dancing on the tip of the knife, what the hell is this for!

"Ahh rushed to the inner courtyard, since she couldn't find help, even if she didn't want to fight for her life, she had to protect her fortune and Jin to escape from this catastrophe that fell from the sky!

Qi Xiang, who had made up her mind, made a faster return trip, and easily snatched a steel knife from a man in black who was already dead. rushed all the way to the main courtyard.

In desperation, she exploded with great lethality.

A few men in black who wanted to get rid of her, a little ant, all fell to her side. In this way, she was covered in blood and returned to the main hall of the upper room where the Wulanala clan and the others were.

The robe on Yaoqin's body had already been soaked with blood.

And the Ulanara clan and Erfu were also painted with color, more or less stained with blood. The eyes are full of despair and determination, and he is using a weapon that is not very handy. Resisting waves of attacks from the men in black.

Seeing Qi Xiang return to the main hall alone, Ulanala and Erfu glanced at each other, revealing a wry smile, it seems that this time is really coming to an end - an inexplicable despair flowed in the hearts of several people, and the eyes of several people in black showed diametrically opposite joy, and even the movements of their hands were much sharper.

"Fight!" "Erff suddenly flashed a scene that often appears in TV dramas, learning from the heroes in TV dramas. Gritted his teeth and took two steps forward, two meters away from Yaoqin. Standing on the same level, he met a man in black who was frequently assaulting, and roared, "The old lady kills one to be enough, and kills two to earn one!"

The call sign that was too much of a river and lake made several people in black stunned.

Yaoqin took the opportunity to cut down one of his most powerful killers to the ground, and at the same time rushed towards the remaining two men in black, handing over the work of protecting the Ulanala clan and Erfu to Qi Xiang, who had just returned to the upper room.

The night, too long, is desperately long.

Erfu has been looking forward to the appearance of the savior in his heart, the fourth master, has never appeared, until a touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky, and the two scarred men in black flung the sharp blade in their hands in the direction of Erfu and Ulanala and turned over and ran out.

A steel knife sharpened like clay flashed past Erf's ear, and a slightly curved strand of sideburns fell to the ground with the wind.

Erf, who had been holding on to her spirits, finally collapsed to the ground, crying silently, tears gushing out, blurring her vision, and the same was true of the Ulanara clan who had dodged the final blow on the side.

At this time, no one felt that the bloody palace carpet on the ground was dirty, and no one felt that the smell in the room was unpleasant, only the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe and the faint worry about the fourth master who had never appeared.

Qi Xiang and Yaoqin glanced at each other, dragged their tired bodies, pulled the body of the man in black who was already cold and stiff to the bottom of the porch, and counted the survivors in the courtyard.

All the palace maids in the backyard were stunned with smoke, and Ye Sheng disappeared. Qi Xiang leaned weakly on the door of the inverted room, pointed to a neatly folded futon, and gritted her teeth.

Ye Sheng, one of the trusted eunuchs of the Wulanala clan, is in charge of a pair of cards in and out of the courtyard door, he is cautious and clever on weekdays, but he doesn't want to, but he is the traitor who leads these killers into the door.

Yaoqin patted Qixiang's shoulder comfortingly, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be too anxious to make a decision, maybe it's just a turn!"

Since the beating of Erfu in the west courtyard, the implementation of the shift system, the courtyards have competed to follow suit, the main courtyard of the Wulanala clan, it is by Yaoqin personally to guide and promote, naturally and the arrangement of the west courtyard is almost the same, every day there are two eunuchs, two palace maids can be secretly idle, do some of their own work, or take the right cards out of the house, return home and close to the family.

So when Qi Xiang said this name that she was somewhat familiar with, she reassured with a smile, but she didn't want her words to fall, Qi Xiang had already rushed forward and lifted Ye Sheng's neatly folded bedding, revealing the clay kang with a kang mat and a small dark grid underneath.

There is a trapdoor inlaid with copper buckles on the secret grid, which is the small hands and feet that all the slaves in the house will do, used to collect the good things that the master has rewarded, and only wait for their turn to leave the house and take them out to sell for silver, or keep them in their hands as pressure box money, or ask someone to bring them back to their hometown.

At this time, the dark grid under Ye Sheng's cover was empty, only a small peace buckle of green jade, which obviously did not look like the private room of a big eunuch with a big face in front of his master.

"This is the safety buckle that the master rewarded everyone in the yard with yesterday, saying that it was to make the big guys safe. Now it seems that it is really ironic!" Qi Xiang stretched out his hand and took the ordinary jade peace buckle in his hand, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Yaoqin with watery eyes, "Ye Sheng is an orphan with no father and no mother, and he couldn't survive outside before, so he mutilated himself and entered the Internal Affairs Office on an errand, but because he was tortured by the big eunuch who lived in the same room, he left a few scars on his face, so he has been doing rough work such as pouring night incense and serving horses since he came to the house. ”

"......" Hearing Qi Xiang say this, Yaoqin also remembered such a person.

Ye Sheng - this person is an inconspicuous person, because of the scar on his face, so he always keeps his head down when he goes in and out, and he has sent messages to the West Courtyard for the Wulanala clan several times, and he is very humble, Yaoqin also gave him two rewards for Erfu, so she felt that this name was a little familiar.

She still remembers that this Ye Sheng is a mountain/Donglin/Ze person, with that country accent, it seems that he has married many people in the mansion, and even Xinggege, who has just entered the mansion, has a little palace maid by his side.

Now that I think about it, this person has already started to make friends with people from various academies, first, to listen to news, and second, to facilitate things.

"Let's hurry up and get all the palace maids in the backyard, the master still needs to wash!" Yaoqin didn't dwell too much on Ye Sheng's affairs, after all, the matter had already happened, it was useless to regret it, and the things at hand mattered, so she just sighed and sorted out her mood, pulling Qi Xiang, who was still sitting by the kang in a daze, and thought in pieces, "Ahead, you have to let people take a look, I don't know how many people have lost this night! The little masters of the West Courtyard don't know what happened yet!"

Alas!" Yaoqin sighed as she spoke.

Suddenly attacked, I don't know what happened to the few little masters resting in the west courtyard, if there is really something long and short, then it ......

Thinking of this, Yaoqin's face became even more ugly.

What Yaoqin can think of, Erfu, a mother, can naturally think of it, so when Yaoqin was still appeasing Qixiang here, Erfu had already staggered out and stumbled all the way to the west courtyard.

Hometown timidity......

Seeing the courtyard gate of the west courtyard, getting closer and closer, Erfu's heart beat violently, she was afraid that as soon as she opened the courtyard door, she would see blood all over the ground, and see her lovely children lying in a pool of blood.

"Crunch!"

But no matter how afraid he was, he still had to face the things he should face, Erfu shook his hand, pushed open the hidden courtyard door, looked at the quiet courtyard in front of him, and only felt that he fell down on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard as soon as it was dark.
