Panlou Street in the inner city is a prosperous place in Bianliang, and there are many wealthy merchants' inner houses in Jieshen Lane, and the largest Hu merchant inner house in the Great Song Dynasty who deals in spices and incense - "Kang Zhai" is located at the end of the alley.

After nightfall, even if there is less hustle and bustle of the day, even if the night is as heavy as water, the night at the time of the New Year still presents a different kind of liveliness, especially in Kangzhai.

At this time, the host's family is setting up a banquet to entertain the guests, good wine and good dishes are served up like water, the laughter in the hall is continuous, the toasters, the drinkers are all very refreshing, sometimes there is a dance to help the fun, and there is another sound of hitting the knots when drinking to the excitement, and for a time it seems that the front yard is full of people, and it is very lively.

Kang Zhai has a courtyard, although it is not big, only six or seven rooms, but it is also simple and simple. Because it is a little far away from the main courtyard, you can't hear the laughter in the main hall, so it seems quite quiet.

The courtyard was a little dark, except for one of the slightly larger rooms, which was lit and lined with opaque window paper, which made the figures of people in a trance.

There were more than a dozen people gathered in this room at this time, and a middle-aged man in a bearded suit sat on the upper seat.

"Khan, this Kang family's banquet in the front hall of the Kang family, but you were not invited, so sloppy, it is really snobbish." The tall man dressed as a guard said indignantly in Uighur.

"Haas, it can't be like this, we live here temporarily, it's inconvenient to publicize it, and the head of the Kang family is also thinking about us." The bearded man known as the Khan was separated by night, the beard on his face had been shaved off, his face was slightly red, and his green eyes were somewhat similar to those of Yelia.

"Khan......" The man was still about to say something, but there was a sound of the door opening from outside the courtyard, and he immediately shut up.

"Uncle, my lord instructed the little one to bring you some wine and food, and a few words to bring to you." The voice of a subordinate came from outside the door.

When the guard named Haas heard this, he hurriedly got up and went to open the door, only to see two men standing outside the door with food boxes in their hands, their faces hidden in the darkness and their faces could not be seen clearly. Haas was stunned for a moment, feeling that the two of them didn't seem to be the ones they usually delivered.

He reached out to take the food box, and the two of them hurriedly took a step back, and the one in front bowed his head and said, "Let the little ones send it in for you, the little ones will do the heavy work." ”

Haas glanced at the two of them, but saw nothing, then nodded sideways and let them in.

When the two of them entered the room, they were not in a hurry to put the food box on the table, but they looked up, and Fang took two steps towards the upper seat, and someone immediately stopped them.

Yeluo asked, "Master Kang ordered you to bring wine and food?" But have something to bring to me? ”

The two looked at each other, and one of them said, "My lord said ......", and just as everyone in the room was listening intently to this man's words, a sudden change occurred.

I saw this man throw the food box towards the guard beside him, and he didn't know when he held three darts in his hand, and he raised his hand to shoot these three darts towards the upper seat.

The guards around Yeluo reacted quickly, and immediately blocked the darts in front of Yeluo's body, and casually copied the chair he was sitting on to block the darts, only to hear the "pop" three times, and the three darts were all shot on the chair surface. Seeing that the darts were blocked, the man took out a few more darts from his body and prepared to shoot them again, but Haas threw him down from behind, and the two twisted together.

The other person also quickly took out two daggers from the food box, and flew towards the guards who stood in front of Nightfall, but they were blocked by the others and entangled.

Ye Luo saw that there were more than ten people on his side, and it was extremely inconvenient to fight in this house, so he waved his hand and said, "Leave a few people alive, and the rest will leave this house with me." ”

Those guards hurriedly answered, and seven or eight people were divided to escort Yeluo and quickly retreat into the courtyard.

Everyone retreated to the courtyard, breathed a long sigh of relief, and was secretly wondering where these two people came from, and they didn't let people live in peace at night. A gust of cold wind blew, and the sweat behind him instantly became cold, and everyone felt that it was actually a winter night, and the night wind was still cold after all.

At this time, the trunk of the big tree in the courtyard seemed to move, and everyone was startled, thinking that they were dazzled, and when they rubbed their eyes and looked again, a long sword in the darkness had been silently stabbed towards the night, and the guards around him did not have time to draw their swords, but only blocked the saber with its scabbard, which happened to block the castration of the sword.

"There are assassins, protect the Khan." I don't know who shouted, and all the guards immediately formed a circle to protect Yeluo in the middle. At this time, there were six more figures around, standing in different positions in the courtyard in black and swarthy, and by the light that came out of the room, I saw that those people were all dressed in black and masked.

"Who are you?" Nightfall asked in a deep voice, wondering how these people could have found this place.

"Heh" one of them chuckled, but didn't answer, just waved his hand, and these black-clothed people attacked Ye Luo and the others from different directions.

These six black-clothed people, all holding long swords, the position they stood in was quite strange, and the way of attack was even more peculiar, they first sometimes swords, sometimes there, and then unexpectedly swords, so that the guards in the night could not touch the order and law of their swords, so that they were in a hurry.

These guards who followed their birth and death, and even escaped the tracking of Li Yuanhao's large number of people, each of them was strong in martial arts, and they were all men with one as ten in the Uighur tribe, and now the number of them was slightly more than the other party.

Yeluo looked around, hoping that someone could pass by here, maybe seeing this situation, he could go to the front yard to find support from the Kang family. But obviously this idea has failed, at this moment everyone in the Kang family is waiting in the front hall, and this courtyard is secluded, so there are not many people coming during the day, let alone at night?

"Bang ......" a firework appeared in the sky, and then more and more fireworks rushed up, so that the front yard also began to be set off, and the bright fireworks in the sky reflected the courtyard also lit up. These guards remembered that today was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the fireworks in the sky were all welcoming the God of Wealth.

The sound of fighting in the courtyard is loud again, and I am afraid that no one will hear it at this moment. Yeluo sighed in his heart, "My life is over!" I didn't give up my life for several months before, but I was going to be assassinated when I saw hope, and it was unwilling.

"Khan, shall we retreat to the courtyard first?" After blocking another wave of attacks, one of the guards said in a dumb voice.

Yeluo nodded, he looked up and looked around, trying to find a place to retreat, but was shocked to find that the position where these six people were standing had blocked all their paths intentionally or unintentionally, and no matter where they retreated, there were people in black who happened to block that direction.

At this time, the guards in the house were fighting with the two assassins before, and the guard named Haas heard that there seemed to be a fight outside, so he hurriedly shook off the two and ran quickly to the courtyard, only to find that Yeluo and the others were actually surrounded by six black-clothed people, and the situation was dangerous, I am afraid that after a while, these guards will not be able to hold on.

Haas was in a hurry, grabbed the saber beside him and wanted to rush into this circle, but when he saw Haas from a glance through the night, he hurriedly shouted, "Haas, go to the front yard to find Kang Juro, find someone to help!" ”

Haas was stunned for a moment and then understood, he nodded, turned around and rushed towards the courtyard door, before he rushed to the door, he only heard a "poof", a dagger was inserted in Haas's back impartially, it was a dagger thrown out by one of the men in black, he snorted coldly, "Look for death." ”

As soon as Haas's hand pulled the courtyard door open, a mouthful of blood spurted out and threw himself on the ground, unable to move.

Nightfall's eyes were torn apart when he saw this, and he shouted, "Haas! And he wanted to break out of the encirclement.
