A dog barks to break the silence of the night. Cai Tieniu, who was sleeping in the porter, immediately woke up, got off the ground with a wheel, grabbed the wooden stick placed at the head of the bed and listened carefully to the movement outside.

The rhubarb tied to the kennel barked a few times before it fell silent.

The night watchman looked around with torches, but found nothing unusual, and returned to their respective positions.

Du Zhongxia was dressed in black and lying on the roof of Qingyang, monitoring the entire mansion from a high vantage point.

The silent cold night continued, Cai Tieniu stood on the ground for a while, feeling that there was no problem, so he folded his clothes again and lay back on the bed, and put the wooden stick back in its place.

After the time of childhood, when people were most sleepy, three people climbed up on the back wall of the ancient mansion. They seemed to know where the bell was, and without striking one, they climbed down the rope very easily, and stood on the territory of the ancient mansion. Then, two people were on guard, and the other went over to try to open the deadbolt of the back door from the inside.

When the man touched the bolt, he found that the door of the ancient mansion was different from that of Beppu, not only did the bolt be there, but the bolt was also wrapped with a thick iron chain. This man had no choice but to exchange jobs with the people who came with him.

The person who had changed felt the lock on the thick iron chain, took out a very small object from his body, poked the keyhole, and opened the lock in a few clicks. Then, avoiding any movement, the man carefully removed the thick iron chain that was wrapped around the deadbolt, but at the last moment made a small movement.

The three of them were frightened, thinking that they would be discovered, but no one moved, listening carefully to the movements around them. After a while, they found that no one was coming, and knowing that they had not alarmed anyone, they slowly opened the deadbolt and slowly pushed the wooden door open.

Seven or eight black-clothed men came in through the open back door with knives in their hands, joined the three advanced people, and then quickly divided into two teams, one team was ready to sneak in the direction of the women's inner courtyard, and the other team was ready to sneak to the courtyard where Gu Qingyang lived.

At this moment, there was a loud bang behind them. The back door of the ancient mansion was closed.

One person shouted that it was not good, and another person shouted to retreat. A dozen or so men in black turned their heads with knives, trying to kill them.

At this time, the sound of running came one after another. The vigil of the ancient mansion held torches and shouted that an assassin had rushed over.

A dozen or so black-clothed people couldn't run out, because the back door of the ancient mansion was locked from the outside, and they couldn't open it at once. The three who climbed the wall ran to the base of the wall and threw their hooks to escape. How could the ancient mansion have been prepared, the sound of arrows broke through the air, swishing three times, and the two people who climbed halfway to the ground rolled to the ground one after another, and finally the other person was directly nailed to the wall.

Seeing this, the other black-clothed men raised their knives and greeted the guards of the ancient mansion who rushed over.

The five members of the former Tiger Wolf Guard rushed to the front, the long sword in their hands flashing cold, and took the knife swung by the man in black on the opposite side.

When the backyard was playing a sword shadow, the rhubarb in the front yard rushed out of the kennel and barked violently in the direction of the main entrance of the ancient mansion.

Cai Tieniu rushed out of the door with a stick, and saw a black shadow jumping down from the wall and landing in the courtyard.

Cai Tieniu shouted that there was an assassin, ran up, and smashed the intruder's head with the stick in his hand. The intruder dodged the stick and slashed at Cai Tieniu with the knife in his hand. Cai Tieniu hurriedly blocked it with a stick, but after all, he was missing an arm, and his flexibility and strength were affected, and he was a step too slow, and the intruder's knife was about to cut his shoulder.

Suddenly, a stick stretched out from the left and right sides of the oblique down, narrowly blocking the intruder's slash and saving Cai Tieniu's life. Reinforcements from the ancient mansion arrived, but a man in black climbed the wall to come in.

There were fights in the front yard and the back yard, except for the sleeping Sheng Ge and Maizi, and Chen Qiaojiang, who was sleeping like a little dead pig, everyone else was awakened.

Qing Shu casually pulled up his scattered hair, tied it with a hairband, and quickly put it on, put on a cloak, put the back of the bow and arrow prepared in advance in the room, and then grabbed the red tassel spear, took the small fish with the lantern and the small juan who grabbed a stick and went to Hao's courtyard.

When Qing Shu arrived, Chu Yi and Hao hugged each other and shrank in the corner of the kang with a panicked face. And Hu Si stood in the middle and silently accompanied them.

Qing Shu asked Hu Si to go out, handed the spear in his hand to Bujuan, and stretched out his hand to Hao, "Come to my sister's side, my sister will protect you." ”

Hao looked at Qing Shu, shook his head, and asked in a crying voice, "Where are Uncle Luo and Uncle Du?" ”

Qing Shu sat on the edge of the kang and replied softly, "Fight the bad guys outside." Come, my sister will take you to Brother Xiaoyang's side. ”

Chu Yi had calmed down a lot, and he pushed Hao, "Young master, go to Miss's side." ”

Hao sniffed, hesitated for a moment, and moved towards Qing Shu little by little. When he moved closer, Qing Shu hugged him and patted him on the back, "Don't be afraid, Hao is not afraid, Uncle Luo, they are so powerful, the bad guys will be able to get rid of them soon." ”

Hao sniffed, buried his little face in the side of Qingshu's neck, and didn't make a sound.

Qing Shu rubbed his hair on his head twice, "Let's go!" Brother Xiaoyang and Brother Xiaorong must also be frightened, so let's go over and accompany them,"

Hao hummed softly.

When Qing Shu took Hao's hand to Qingyang's side, Luo Xiaorong's guards stood under the eaves with their swords, and Du Zhongxia, dressed in black, stood on the roof.

Xiaojuan picked a thick curtain to protect against the cold, Xiaoyu pushed the door open, and invited Qingshu and Hao in. In the house, the subordinates of Luofu, Guan Mu and Yuan Bao are all there. Qing Shu left Xiao Juan, Xiao Yu and Chu Yi behind, and led Hao into the inner room.

Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong, who were lying on the quilt, immediately got out of the quilt.

Qing Shu hurriedly stopped, "Hurry up and lie back, you will catch a cold." ”

Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong obediently got back into the quilt and looked at Qingshu with blinking eyes.

Qing Shu walked to the kang and touched Hao's head, "Don't be afraid, look, Brother Xiaoyang and Brother Xiaorong are not afraid." Come, my sister undressed you, took off your clothes and went to the kang, and slept with Brother Xiaoyang and Brother Xiaorong. ”

Qingyang was obviously unwilling, and pouted, but he didn't make a sound.

Qing Shu quickly took off his clothes and lifted a corner of Qingyang's quilt, "Come, squeeze with Brother Xiaoyang first, and my sister will lay the futon for you immediately." Knowing that Qingyang would be unwilling, she then touched Qingyang's head and said, "My brother is very scared, do you want to comfort my brother?" ”

Qingyang glanced at Hao, who looked uneasy, and moved to the side, obviously agreeing.

Qing Shu motioned for Hao to go up, Hao hesitated for a moment, and finally climbed onto the kang and got into Qingyang's warm bed. Qingshu touched the three little heads on the kang one by one, took out a spare set of bedding from the kang cabinet in the past, laid it out next to Qingyang, looked at Hao and said, "You can lie down when the next kang is hot." ”

Hao nodded and lay quietly.

Someone outside was talking in a low voice, and Xiao Yu came in to report that Hu Si didn't bring Young Master Chen over, because Young Master Chen was sleeping very deeply, and there was no sign of waking up.

Qing Shu was surprised and felt that this was good, and ordered Hu Si to go over to protect Chen Qiaojiang's safety.

Luo Xiaorong blinked his eyes and asked Qing Shu, "Sister, are you carrying a bow and arrow to shoot bad guys?" ”

Qing Shu moved a chair over, sat down next to the edge of the kang, looked at him and replied, "Yes, if the bad guy comes in, my sister will shoot the bad guy with it to protect you." Scared? ”

Luo Xiaorong nodded, and immediately shook his head vigorously, "Don't be afraid." ”

Qingshu smiled.

Qingyang stretched out his hand into the quilt next to him, "It's warm, my brother can lie down." "He's in a hurry to get people out of his bed.

Hao didn't say anything, quietly got out of Qingyang's quilt and lay down in his own quilt.

Qing Shu glanced at the three of them one by one, "It's going to be fine, hurry up and sleep!" My sister will sit here and watch you sleep. Come, close your eyes. ”

Qingyang They were very obedient and closed their eyes. However, their eyelashes moved and moved, and they didn't look like they were going to sleep at all.

Qingshu stood up, kissed their foreheads one by one, and then sat back in his chair and hummed a lullaby, which was followed by a soft classical song. She took the trouble to hum softly over and over again, Luo Xiaorong was the first to fall asleep, then Qingyang, and finally Hao.

Qing Shu breathed a sigh of relief and sat quietly for a while, then stood up lightly, walked to the table, picked the wick, and walked out of the inner room. Outside there was silence, and it seemed that the battle was over.

After a while, someone came to report that the butler was leading someone to do a final search to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net. Someone came to report that Li Zhutou and the officers and soldiers outside had come and asked if they could open the door of the house and let them in.

Qing Shu didn't make up his own mind, but told his subordinates that he had to listen to the housekeeper in this matter.

Finally, the ancient housekeeper opened the door of the mansion and let Li Zhutou and the officers and soldiers in.

As soon as Li Zhu stepped into the door of the mansion, he asked, "Has the mansion been robbed?" ”

Butler Gu, "Yes, Li Zhutou." A group of black-clad masked men suddenly broke in and cut down people when they saw them. Fortunately, the manpower in the house has been strengthened, and the dogs in the house are very alert and bark all the time, which woke us up, otherwise...... Alas! The consequences are unimaginable. ”

Li Zhutou smelled a strong smell of blood in the air, "Are you okay?" Did anyone in the house get hurt? ”

"Although the evil deeds of the man in black were stopped, five or six people in the house were injured, and one of them was seriously injured." Gu Qiang looked at Li Zhutou and the small leader of the officers and soldiers and said, "It's not a secret, there is still a man in black who has not been caught, this person is hiding somewhere in the mansion now, it is very dangerous, and I have to trouble Li Zhutou and this adult to help find it." ”

Li Zhutou and the officers and soldiers naturally did not refuse, and searched carefully with the people of the ancient mansion. There's such a big thing going on in town, they have to be careful. After a round of searching, in the end, only the Wenlan Courtyard where the Gu Ye clan lived before his death remained.

Whether it was Li Zhutou or the officers and soldiers, they were very careful, first surrounded Wenlan Courtyard, and then covered each other into the courtyard and began to search.

Probably knowing that he couldn't escape, a black-clothed masked man hiding in the house suddenly rushed out and raised his knife to slash at the officers and soldiers who walked in front of him. The officers and soldiers were not vegetarians either, and raised their swords to block them, while others swarmed up and surrounded them.
