Tianfu Pavilion is a three-story attic and five courtyards in the backyard, Meng Tian lives next to Queen Mi Fang'er's courtyard, and the two courtyards are only separated by a wall. Meng Tian heard the sound of the roof and could tell that the other party was at least about five people. However, there were no soldiers of the Meng family army guarding the backyard of Tianfu Pavilion, and all the guards were placed around Tianfu Pavilion by Meng Tian, and the interior was empty.

It's not that Meng Tian is trusted, it's just that Mi Fang'er is the queen, although she has not officially married King Yingzheng of Qin, but this is also an immediate matter, so Meng Tian doesn't want the queen to feel guarded here again, and as long as there is danger in the backyard of Tianfu Pavilion, more than 300 Mengjia soldiers outside can arrive in an instant.

Meng Tian walked back to the courtyard of the future queen of Qin with his sword in hand, and asked the two maids standing at the door, "Has the queen ever rested?"

The maid knew that the person in front of her was the general of the Qin State, so she naturally didn't dare to slack off, thinking that Meng Tian had given a maid's etiquette, and then said: "Back to the general, the queen has just finished bathing and has not fallen asleep yet. ”

Meng Tian stood at the door for a while after hearing this, and didn't hear any movement in the courtyard, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that I heard it wrong?

Meng Tian turned to leave, but this time he didn't return to his room. He went out of Tianfu Pavilion and found Xue Bin who came out with him this time. Xue Bin was the commander of the two thousand Mengjia soldiers brought by Meng Tian this time, because Xue Bin did a good job in the affairs of the Chu State, so as soon as he returned to Mengwu, he was promoted to one of the few deputy commanders in the Mengjia army after Du Hui and Meng Li.

Xue Bin didn't sleep either, and was meditating in the hall of Tianfu Pavilion. Meng Tian found him: "Xue Bin, I heard someone on the roof of the backyard just now, and I suspect that someone is going to be unfavorable to the queen, so I ordered someone to take a few brothers to guard the backyard, and I must protect the queen from any harm." ”

Xue Bin immediately looked nervous after hearing this, he gave a military salute to Meng Tian, and then walked out of Tianfu Pavilion. Not long after, half of the soldiers of the Meng family army who were guarding outside the Tianfu Pavilion came in and surrounded the queen's courtyard under the command of Xue Bin.

The maid guarding the door saw that the Qin army had surrounded her courtyard, and hurriedly entered the courtyard to report to Queen Mi Fang'er.

Not long after the two maids entered the courtyard, one of the maids walked out, she walked up to Meng Tian and said, "General, the queen is invited." ”

Meng Tian asked the maid to lead the way in front, and he followed into the courtyard behind. When he arrived at the door, Meng Tian did not continue to go in, and the maid only asked him to wait outside and go in to report by himself.

"Why did General Meng send people to surround the courtyard where the palace lived?" said Queen Mi Fang'er's voice from inside the house.

Meng Tian bent down and clenched his fists, "Queen Qiqi, the minister just heard someone passing by on the roof, and the minister didn't know who was coming and why, so for the sake of the queen's safety, the minister will bring it."

Soldiers were placed here to keep the queen safe, and I hope the queen will not blame. ”

Queen Mi Fang'er said in the room: "Since this is the case, then the palace is relieved, there are General Meng and the Meng family army to protect the palace, and the palace will definitely mention it to the king after arriving in Xianyang, so that the king will reward the Meng family army." ”

"The last general thanked the queen. Meng Tian said, then turned around and left, going outside the courtyard.

When he arrived outside the courtyard, Xue Bin saw Meng Tian come out, walked up and asked, "General, how is it, is there any movement in the courtyard?"

Meng Tian shook his head, he looked at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, and then said: "Tell your brothers that you must be careful tonight, the queen's safety is in trouble, and I can't spare you." ”

"Yes. Xue Bin clenched his fists and said.

I don't know if it was the reason for the arrival of the soldiers of the Meng family army or what, nothing happened in the queen's courtyard. But the more quiet Meng Tian became, the more he felt that something was wrong, he believed that it was certain that there were night walkers passing by on the roof, but why didn't they continue the following actions?

Meng Tian and Xue Bin were both guarding outside the courtyard, and when they got to the ugly, nothing happened. Xue Bin said to Meng Tian: "General, it seems that nothing will happen tonight, or the general will go back and rest, it is enough for me to be here." ”

Meng Tian smiled, "No, tell the brothers that if they are tired, they can move, and they don't have to stand hard, although it is still summer, but Shu is so high that it is still a little cold at night, so tell the soldiers below not to be too tired." ”

"The last general thanked the general for his brothers. Xue Bin said, and then relayed Meng Tian's words to the surrounding Mengjia soldiers. All the soldiers of the Mengjia army began to move a little numb to the body, and then untie their hands and drink water.

"Watch out for someone. A soldier of the Meng family army saw a black shadow flashing, and hurriedly called the police to his companions, as well as Meng Tian and Xue Bin.

After hearing this, Xue Bin ordered: "Divide fifty people to chase, and the rest of the people hurry up and return to you, and there is no room for loss." ”

With an order, all the soldiers of the Mengjia army quickly returned to their positions.

Meng Tian vigilantly observed the movements around him, and suddenly there was the sound of clothes being blown by the wind in the air, Meng Tian immediately unsheathed his sword, turned around and kicked on the wall of the courtyard, and jumped directly onto the roof of the courtyard with one leap.

"Prepare bows and arrows, and try to catch them alive for me. Meng Tian stood on the roof and instructed the soldiers of the Meng family army below.

All the soldiers of the Mengjia army put away the spears and short swords in their hands, replaced them with the two-stone bows they carried on their backs, and wound their arrows to aim at the night sky around them.

All the sounds in the Tianfu Pavilion were gone, except for the wheezing of hundreds of people in the backyard and the distant sounds

After a few unknown bird sounds, no other sounds appeared. Meng Tian stood on the roof of the house, it was also dark all around, he couldn't see anything clearly, and the only thing he could rely on now was to hear with his ears.

Another black shadow flashed, Meng Tian heard the voice, instantly locked the direction, and shouted loudly: "Twenty feet in front of the courtyard gate, attack." As soon as Meng Tian's words were finished, the sound of bows and arrows leaving the strings sounded. However, this wave of arrows did not hit any targets, but all shot at the pillars of Tianfu Pavilion.

"Fifteen feet to the right. Another black shadow flashed, and Meng Tian locked on to the target here, but the effect of these two attacks was the same, and even the corners of the opponent's clothes were not hit.

It seems that the person who came tonight is not an ordinary person, definitely the kind of old killer with experience. It's just that this person's light skills are good, and he dodged the two waves of arrows. Meng Tian's face gradually became solemn, and he remembered a name Night Stalker, although the killers who assassinated him last time had good martial arts, they were far less elusive than this time. However, he didn't understand, if it was the people of the night owls, then why didn't they come to kill themselves but instead killed Mi Fang'er, the county lord of Chu who was about to become the king of Qin?

Meng Tian told the soldiers to stop shooting, "Everyone continue to pick up their weapons, the other party is an experienced killer who is very good at hiding himself, so don't waste arrows." "Since the other party wants to play hide and seek with him, then Meng Tian has prepared a waiting for him, whether their target is the queen or himself, as long as he dares to go upstairs, then he will definitely not be able to get out of here.

"Kill!" A voice came from the night, and then a man in black appeared from each of the four directions of the courtyard, killing him from the four directions of the south, east, west, and northwest towards the courtyard. Seeing this, Xue Bin hurriedly followed the plan discussed with Meng Tian to let his subordinates also guard in the four directions of east, west, south and north, and asked them to ensure the safety of the queen no matter what.

The four killers dressed in black didn't seem to be afraid of the soldiers of the Mengjia army, and each of the four people held a bright long knife in their hands and killed the soldiers of the Mengjia army guarding the courtyard.

Meng Tian looked at the four black-clothed men fighting with his soldiers below, and he felt that something was wrong. Hearing the footsteps on the roof, he judged that there should be at least five people, except for the black shadow that the fifty people chased at the beginning, five people were just right, Meng Tian felt that things were not so simple.

Sure enough, before Meng Tian was about to jump off the roof to fight the four men in black, a sword fell from the sky above his head.

When Meng Tian sensed the danger above his head, his scalp was less than five feet away from the sword that suddenly appeared. Meng Tian had to lie down quickly, and then a donkey rolled to the side, dodging the fatal wound of the sword.

The long sword fell to the ground, and a man in black slowly landed on the sword, and then looked towards Meng Tian.
