Book XVI, Chapter 19
"Yes!"
Seeing the two thieves leave, Noo Li turned and went back the way he came, he climbed over the wall and fell into the courtyard, and just as he stood firm, a figure came out of a small cabin in the backyard, and both of them were stunned when they saw each other.
"What are you doing here?" Chris looked at Neo Li suspiciously, thinking that he should stay with his sister at this time, rather than be here alone.
"Ah, nothing, it just occurred to me that I hadn't been home for a long time, and I wanted to look around!" replied Neo Li calmly, walking over to Chris as he spoke, his gaze falling over to the row of cabins behind him, "I remember when I left the house, there didn't seem to be any of them. ”
"That's right, I made them built, mainly to store tools and some weapons, this place is very close to the maid's room, and if someone with bad intentions comes in, the servant will immediately take weapons from here to confront them. Chris spoke, his eyes never taking off Noo Leigh's face, as if trying to see his thoughts from his face.
"Well, it's really great, you really care about this family, thank you!" Noo Li looked around, saw all kinds of tools and some simple weapons in the room, couldn't help but nod appreciatively, he smiled kindly at Chris, pretended not to understand what he said, and turned to walk towards the front yard. Chris looked at Noo Leigh's back, his eyes full of doubt.
When the heavy night fell over Qiongyun City, everyone fell asleep, and the reception banquet of Noo Li ended in a joyful atmosphere, and everyone was very happy. Noo Li sent his father back to the room with his sister and brother-in-law, and then said goodbye to the couple and planned to go back to the room by himself, but his sister insisted on sending him back. She asked her husband to go back and wait for her first, and she took her brother by the hand and walked to his room.
When she got to the door, Neo Lai said to her, "Go back, don't let Chris be anxious." The younger sister nodded as if she was worried and turned to leave. But he didn't take two steps, and suddenly turned around and looked at him reluctantly. Asked, "Brother, tomorrow, I can see you again." Right?"
Noou Li stepped forward with a smile, stroked his sister's head and said, "Silly girl, why are you still like a child? My brother has no wings and won't fly." Don't think about it. Go back to sleep!" my sister happily agreed. Turn away.
Watching his sister's figure disappear into the darkness, Noo Li added a faint melancholy to his heart. He closed the door and walked into the room, and was thinking about what was going to happen, when he heard a few owls chirping outside, and he immediately realized who it was, cautiously opened the window and looked around, and then quietly jumped down.
As soon as he landed, several thieves hurried to meet him. By the cold moonlight, Noo Li recognized the leader as the leader of the Qiongyun Branch. This person was his confidant, and he specially assigned him to Qiongyun back then, just so that he could take care of his family.
"Boss, we have all set it up, according to your orders, all the people have been dispatched, there are all our people hidden within a radius of a few hundred meters, as long as there is a situation, there will be news immediately!"
Noo Li nodded with satisfaction, but his heart was still not calm, he knew that Karl Ivan was not an easy guy to deal with, just as he was thinking about how to ensure that everything was safe, a thief suddenly crept in front of everyone, and reported in a low voice: "Boss, our reconnaissance post has found a group of suspicious people wearing cloaks, and they are moving towards this side, do you want to do it?"
The most important characteristic of the shadow knights is that they do not leave their cloaks, and they are indeed here! He hurriedly asked, "What kind of people are the leaders?"
"The night was so dark that they all looked the same way and couldn't see it. ”
Although they couldn't tell the difference, it must be them, and they came just in time! Noo Li thought to himself, and immediately ordered his subordinates to secretly gather all the people near the mansion, and once the other party intended to enter the courtyard, he would immediately take action, leaving no one behind.
However, before he could finish speaking, an exclamation came from the house beside them, and Noo Li immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Leaving his men behind, Noo Li ran to the front yard at a gallop, smashing the window of the living room on the first floor and jumping in, rushing to the wooden staircase leading to the second floor. Suddenly, a man in a black cloak was thrown from the second floor, and Chris jumped from top of it, the black-robed man was obviously injured, stumbled open the door and rushed out, and Chris ran out in hot pursuit. Noou Li was about to go upstairs to see what was going on, when he saw his sister and his old father appear at the staircase in a panic under the escort of the old butler.
"Are you alright?" asked Noo Li Ying.
"It's okay, I don't know where the gangsters came from. The younger sister glanced at her brother in fear, but did not find her husband, and asked anxiously, "Where's Chris, brother, have you seen him?" Noo Li comforted them, and then took them to the hall on the first floor and sat down, so that the servants who heard the sound could protect them, and turned around to go to Chris. Unexpectedly, Chris's figure suddenly appeared at the door, he slowly retreated in from the outside, looking nervous, Noo Li followed his gaze, only to see five people in black cloaks holding sharp blades, facing his backward steps and walking in from the outside,
"Who are you who dare to break into the house and commit murder?" The surrounding servants surrounded them with weapons, and Chris saw that he had a helper, and calmed down, and asked the other party loudly.
The leader sneered, "Just ask him!" he pointed at Noo Lai with his hand.
"Brother, who have you offended?" The younger sister anxiously grabbed her brother's hand, and Noo Li quietly gave a reassuring look, strode forward and said to the man in black: "You are just looking for me, then don't touch them, come directly at me!"
The leader smiled, nodded and said, "It's a man, but His Highness's order to us is not to stay!"
"Hahahaha," the leader laughed disdainfully, "I've heard of your skills, but we people are not muddy." I don't believe you're made of iron!" he waved his hand to his men, and the four men in black quickly pounced on Noo Li.
"Get out of the way, I'll deal with it!" Chris shoved Noo Lai hard. Preparing to rush up with the servants, but Noo Li did not move, as if his feet were rooted, Chris looked at him in surprise, but time did not allow him to think too much, four enemies had already rushed in front of him, Chris shouted. A head-on punch to the face of one of them.
Although Chris was a strong soldier, he was no match for the Shadow Knights carefully trained by Karl Ivan and his full force was easily dodged by the opponent. The steel knife slashed at his head like lightning, and the servants around him were already terrified in the face of the bright weapons and murderous cloak monsters, and they did not dare to step forward at all.
"Chris!" the sister cried out in fright.
Seeing Chris's fate on the line. It's too late. At that time, Noo Li ghostly flashed in front of Chris, gently pushed him away, and slammed the knee of his right leg into the abdomen of the Shadow Knight, and the elven short sword slashed an arc of light, and the action was done in one go, and hot blood instantly gushed out of the opponent's throat.
Three minutes later, the four shadow knights fell to the ground. Reduced to a dead body, the leader turned to leave. Noo Li had already floated up, grabbed him by the throat from behind, and the man collapsed to the ground without even making a sound.
Lookless and expressionless, he wiped the elven dagger with the clothes of the dead, turned around and found his father, sister and Chris, and all the servants looking at him with surprise and fear, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, yes, five people died at his hands in just a few minutes, which is unimaginable for these kind and simple people.
Before he could explain, the thieves swarmed in like wolves, and the leader of the Qiongyun branch glanced at the corpse on the ground, walked quickly towards him, and said, "Boss, we're late!"
Noo Li glanced at him casually, and was about to send someone to search for any remnants around. Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ears: "Be careful, be careful!" Noo Li immediately became vigilant, this was the female voice who helped him avoid the plot outside Del City last time, his eyes swept vigilantly over the people around him, a silver point of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, Noo Li grabbed it casually, twisted it hard, and with a "dang" sound, a dagger fell to the ground.
"How dare you plot against me!" Noo Li glared angrily at the leader of the Qiongyun Branch, and the other party smiled contemptuously and said, "Your Highness has already said that if you don't surrender, there is only one way to die!"
There was a soft "click", the leader screamed, and his wrist was broken by Noo Leigh.
"I didn't expect you to be one of Karl Ivin!" said Rio Lai through gritted teeth, eager to eat him alive. A sinister smile appeared on the leader's face distorted by pain: "Do you think you can really escape the palm of His Highness?" Before the words fell, the sound of the windows breaking came one after another, followed by the sound of the bowstring being tightened one after another, and on the broken windows on the first floor and the staircase on the second floor, countless masked archers in black cloaks were coldly aiming at him and his family, each arrow aimed at the vital point, ready to kill them.
"Do you think this will scare me?" Noo Li sneered and stared back at the leader.
The other party also sneered and asked: "Can you escape, can they escape?"
Noo Li was silent, indeed, he had only two choices, to escape on his own, or to die here with his family.
"Despicable!"
Noo Li heard the sound of the woman gritting her teeth just now, accompanied by a scream, the archers on the second floor fell down like rain, and a black figure flashed at the staircase on the second floor, Noo Li looked back in surprise to see a female angel floating in the air, flapping six black wings, holding a blood-glittering long sword in each hand, and on the second floor behind it, there was also a woman wearing a white robe and holding a white long-handled staff.
"This, what is this!" the leader and the archers looked at the angel in surprise, and Noo Li vaguely heard the woman say something softly, only to see the angel cross his hands in front of his chest, six huge black wings stretched out, and then spread his arms, and the dark red double swords emitted a red light, drowning everyone in the red light.
When Noo Li opened his eyes, the light was gone, and he hurriedly looked up, but the angel was gone, the woman in white had long since disappeared, and the leader and his accomplices had all turned into cold stones.
"Brother!" Turning around, he saw his sister running towards him with open arms, and he took her in his arms, stroked her head, and whispered to comfort her in fear.
"Son, what the hell is going on?" the father stepped forward in fright, supported by Chris and the old butler, and Noo Li looked at his father, and then at Chris and the old butler, their eyes were full of suspicion, in fact, Noo Li was not much less suspicious than theirs.
The sound of messy footsteps came from the gate again, and the vice president of the Qiongyun branch rushed in from outside with a group of thieves, and as soon as he saw Noo Li, he knelt down in front of him, and cried out in a trembling voice: "Boss, we are late, please forgive us!"
Noo Li glanced at him and asked calmly, "Do you know that your president is a spy?" The vice president looked at Noo Li in horror and said in fear: "No, no, my subordinates don't know. He paused, as if he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added: "But boss, someone sent me a note yesterday telling me that he was a spy, I didn't care, I thought someone was sowing discord, so ...... I really didn't know before!"
Noo Li looked at him coldly, and asked slowly: "Where is the note?" The vice president took out the note as if grasping a life-saving straw, and handed it to Noo Li, who opened the note, and the familiar font appeared in front of him again, he sighed lightly, hid the note on his body, and turned back to the vice president and said, "This time, spare you first, and immediately arrange for my family to go to the branch, and we will go back to the general meeting early tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes, yes, my subordinates will do it!" the vice president turned around and prepared to leave in a hurry.
"Wait!"
The vice president turned around nervously and waited for instructions, and Noo Li glanced at the stone men around him: "Move all of these to the yard and smash them!" The vice president nodded again and again, and immediately ordered the thieves to move all the stone men away.
"Boss, there's always the latest news coming from the Red Rock Hills!"
As he was about to lead his family away, he turned around, looked at the thieves in front of him, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"We have just discovered in the vanguard of the Red Rock Hills, Cal Ivian's shadow knight has raided the Wyvern Knights' station, most of them and the Wyverns are under its control, only one Wyvern Knight and the dragon Knight leader Billy Winmill's mount, Wyvern Silver Moon escaped in time, and our people have now placed him and the Wyvern in a safe place!"
A cloud rose between Noo Lai's eyebrows, and Karl Ivan moved faster than he could have imagined, and he vaguely felt that things were not so simple, how could a seriously injured Karl Ivan complete all this so quickly......?
