Dugu Xue ran in from the outer room in a panic, rarely showing a nervous look, and said breathlessly: "Master, something is wrong, our people are ......"

Before she finished speaking, Su Zixu stretched out her hand to stop the rest of her words.

She looked at her and saw Ruri nodding at her.

Su Zixu pondered for a moment and said, "You and Dugushuang rushed out of the encirclement with the rest of the people and left quickly. ”

Dugu Xue bowed slightly, didn't care about anything else, stretched out her light skills, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

As soon as the people left, two more maids from the Nine Gates came in to report on the battle.

Some of the guards who were originally guarding outside the Living Palace went out to help kill the assassins, and the rest had already been solved by Su Zixu, and among the nine gates, they could enter and leave the Living Palace like no one.

"Master, General Ye led the palace people to besiege the Zuo Protector, and the people of the Medicine King Valley and the people of the Yuan Mansion are now gathering at the palace gate."

Su Zixu thought for a while and ordered: "No matter what the damage is, those people at the palace gate must be taken out together." ”

Although the two maids were suspicious, they did not resist her order and ran out quickly.

Liuli couldn't sit still, and automatically ordered: "Master, the slave and maid go to help." ”

Su Zixu didn't stop her, and asked her to leave.

She looked out the window, her eyes dark.

Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the Liu family, and he had a large number of people, but he still fell behind. The team of people at the gate of the palace is not her people, but they are hired by themselves after all, although there is a relationship of interest, but it can be regarded as working for themselves, and they cannot be abandoned, hoping that the people of the Nine Gates can act according to the order.

When Liuli rushed to the direction where the people in the Nine Gates left, the two pairs of men and horses were fighting incompatible, and the sound of the handover of blades was endless, and in the confusion, he faintly saw that there were few people left behind the Nine Gate Mats, struggling to resist the attack.

She had just taken out her veil and was about to join the battle when suddenly a loud sound of footsteps rang in her ears from far and near, and she heard the sound of a group of archers coming in their direction.

She quietly took two steps back, her eyes changing, and circled behind the group of guards.

In a short time, the archers had already walked into the courtyard and surrounded them in an orderly manner.

Ye Lan raised his hand and ordered loudly: "Archers prepare." ”

Hearing this, they raised their crossbows and crossbows in unison, aimed at the "assassins" in the courtyard, and prepared to attack.

Those people saw it, gathered in a circle, and watched them vigilantly, many of them were seriously injured, but they still held on, and did not lose their momentum at all.

Suddenly, with a loud whoosh, a sharp sword stabbed one of the guards in the chest with unmistakable accuracy, and he fell straight to his knees, the sharp arrows emitting a blinding glow in the reflection of the bright light, and a few drops of bright red blood fell to the ground in a tick.

Everyone turned their heads and looked around vigilantly, but before they could find the person who had sneaked into the attack, another sword flew out, pierced the throat of another person, and killed him instantly, and then four or five arrows continued to shoot into the archers, killing five or six people in a moment.

Aiming at the opportunity, the people of the Nine Gates scattered in all directions, raised their swords and took the lives of some archers, and at the same time, they snatched the arrows in their hands, and even worse, rushed into them, and took the lives of many people in succession. Seeing this, the rest of the archers no longer waited for Ye Lan to give an order, and released the arrows in their hands together, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Liuli took advantage of the weakness to help them resist the attack, and seeing that she was about to be unable to hold on, Liuli glanced around, and casually pulled a person next to her to the back of the rockery.

Before the man could react, he thought it was a palace guard, and quickly raised his sword and stabbed it back.

"It's me." Ruri grabbed her hand, ducked to the side, and whispered a reminder.

The maid's movements suddenly stopped, and after seeing her face clearly, she was surprised: "Aunt Liuli, why are you here?" ”

Liuli stood up to signal her to be quiet, and whispered a few words to her. The maid didn't know why, Liuli heard the fighting outside getting quieter and quieter, and she was so anxious that she shouted, "Hurry up, otherwise it's too late." ”

The Nine Gates had lost half of their men again, and those archers had regrouped their ranks, just waiting for Ye Lan's order.

Ye Lan saw that the time was almost up, and said while waving his hand: "Someone is coming, ......"

Before she could finish speaking, a veiled woman came out and said in a loud voice, "Don't move, or I'll kill her." ”

After Ye Lan saw the person who was being coerced, his eyes moved, paused, and his hand slowly put down, looking at the masked woman with sharp eyes.

Everyone stopped, and looking back, the archer glanced at Ye Lan blankly, without the slightest relaxation.

Ruri grabbed the masked woman's hand around her neck and looked at him in panic.

The sword in the masked hand was tightly attached to Ruri's neck, and with the slightest movement, her neck would be sliced open.

In the middle of the sound, she moved her sword half an inch away, and said while dragging Liuli's body back: "Don't move, if you dare to take a step forward, I will kill her." ”

With that, she gave her companion a look, and the rest of the people were slightly surprised when they saw Ruri, but soon understood what the masked woman meant, and slowly retreated with her.

Liuli struggled to move, but unexpectedly, it angered the masked woman, her strength increased, and she grabbed her neck fiercely, and Liuli's face instantly turned iron.

The archers next to them slowly approached in their direction.

Ye Lan took two steps forward and stopped: "Don't move yet." ”

In a hurry, the masked woman really used her strength, and when she reacted, she let go slightly, and Liuli finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened her mouth with difficulty: "General Ye, don't worry about me." ”

Ye Lan's expression was complicated, and he was thinking with his eyebrows lowered, when a guard next to him reminded: "General Ye, let go of the arrows." ”

When the masked woman heard this, she exclaimed, "Don't you want her life? ”

The guard snorted disdainfully: "It's just a little slave beside Concubine Yue, if she loses her life, she will die well, Concubine Yue's mother is knowledgeable, and she will definitely not embarrass our brother." ”

As soon as the guard finished speaking, he met Ye Lan's cold eyes like a cold pool, and for some reason, his body trembled involuntarily.

He had never seen the general's eyes so furious, as if they were going to eat him alive, which was terrifying.

Liuli's face changed when she heard this, she looked at Ye Lan with a subtle expression, and then smiled helplessly.

In their eyes, human life is like a mustard, which can be sacrificed at any time, especially the life of the palace maid, which is not life at all.

The reason why the people in the Nine Gates willingly follow the master is only because the master is different from these people. She was fortunate in this life to follow her master.

The moment Ye Lan looked up, her eyes met, and when she saw the deep irony in her eyes, she felt strange in her heart. His lips twitched, and he wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.

It turned out that in her eyes, he was the same as those people.

Liuli sneered at him: "General Ye, let's do it, it's not worth letting go of these assassins for the sake of slaves." ”

As he spoke, the hand hidden in his sleeve was raised slightly, half-covering the snow-white silver needle inside.

Ye Lan, if you are like them and insist on doing it, the first thing I want to take today is your life, even if the jade is burned and the same ends, I will not let you people get out alive from here.
