Xin Qiji, Zhong Silkworm, and Mo Xiaobao left in front of the Ye Mansion one after another, and when Ye Qing was about to get on the sixteen official sedan chairs, he saw a black shadow suddenly run out of the shadows, but fortunately, before the black shadow approached Ye Qing, he was stopped by the guards who were already ready to go.

Compared with the dozens of people on weekdays, there are now two hundred guards gathered at the gate of the Ye Mansion.

With Zhu Xi's call, Ye Qingcai, who had been hiding from Zhu Xi for several days, frowned slightly and turned around, looking at Zhu Xi, who was obviously more haggard than a few days ago, under the light of the torches, motioned to the guards to let go of Zhu Xi, and then watched Zhu Xi walk to him, and took the lead in speaking: "Mr. Zhu, Ye has something important today, I'm afraid it's going to be rude, and I hope that Mr. Zhu is not strange, Ye will definitely come to the door to ask for ...... another day." ”

"Lord Ye, there must be no need to say polite words, right? Although the old man is stubborn, he is by no means stupid, knowing that the old man's request makes Lord Ye embarrassed, but now he ...... The old man was really desperate, and he had no choice but to ask Lord Ye to plead ....... Zhu Xi grabbed Ye Qing's hand, his expression was firm, and he saw that he was going to let Ye Qing give him a clear answer.

Ye Qing looked down at Zhu Xi's hand that was tightly gripping his wrist, took a deep breath, and wanted to persuade Zhu Xi again, but looking at Zhu Xi's determined demeanor that did not stop until he reached his goal, he said slowly: "Mr. Zhu wants me to rescue Zheng Qingzhi and the rest of Mr. Zhu's protégés, but has Mr. Zhu ever thought about how the court and the saint would view Ye if Ye did this?" The Holy Decree criticized Mr. Zhu's learning as pseudo-learning, and if Ye helped Mr. Zhu at this time, how should Ye face the Holy Lord and the imperial court? Or is it ...... Is it difficult for Mr. to want Ye to rebel? ”

With Ye Qing's words, Zhu Xi's original strength that was holding Ye Qing's wrist tightly gradually relaxed, and Ye Qing's calm voice was still in his ears: "Mr. Zhu is considering the problem from his own point of view, and Ye Mou doesn't need to look at Mr. Zhu's request from his own standpoint?" Ye Mou is also in trouble, if he disobeys the will of the saint because of his husband, then what kind of face does Ye have to be Song Chen again? ”

"Lord Ye doesn't ......." Zhu Xi frowned, although he didn't agree with Ye Qing's words very much, but Ye Qing's words were also reasonable, in the end, naturally, he couldn't offend the saint because he helped him Zhu Xi, right? What's more, Ye Qing's current situation above the court is not really much better.

And just when Ye Qing was about to break Zhu Xi's hand and turn around to get into the sedan chair, a guard suddenly ran out of Ye Fu, looked at Ye Qing who had not left, and said hurriedly: "My lord, the goal of the Mongols is you!" They infiltrated the backyard, where General Mo was ....... ”

"How are the two ladies?" Ye Qing shook off Zhu Xi's hand, quickly ran to the soldier and asked.

"Lord Hui, the two ladies are fine, but they were a little frightened ...... at first." Before the soldier's words were finished, Ye Qingren had already run back to the mansion, and the two hundred guards behind him followed Ye Qing almost immediately and rushed to the backyard.

Zhu Xi, who was confused and at a loss, stood in place, and just now the gate of Yefu, which was full of soldiers in armor, was empty in an instant, and at this time, from the gate of Yefu, a faint sound of fighting could still be heard.

At this time, in the Ye Mansion, when Ye Qing arrived in the backyard, the intermittent sound of fighting had gradually stopped, but the sound of the Flower Planter Army patrolling and searching for assassins was still endless.

However, Mo Xiaobao, who had been in the backyard a little longer than Ye Qing, ran to Ye Qing's side with a trace of blood on his face.

Ye Qing wiped the blood on his face for him, and Mo Xiaobao said with a smile

"Don't worry, my lord, it's not the blood of the last general." The number of assassins is not much, but it is still counting, and the last general outside the courtyard wall has also sent people, and has also sent people to inform the flower planters at the city gate to close all the city gates and strictly investigate the ...... suspicious people. ”

"Inform Jia She, if there is any abnormality, report it immediately, and then send someone to the Jinren Post House to block every exit, whether it is a Mongol or not, you are not allowed to enter or leave." Ye Qing patted Mo Xiaobao's shoulder, and then looked at the attic window not far away, the second floor was still dark at the moment.

"Madame is fine, it was the last general who instructed Madame to go upstairs, and then blew out the lamps and candles, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the assassins." Mo Xiaobao followed Ye Qing's gaze and looked at the second floor of the attic and said.

Ye Qing nodded silently, motioned for Mo Xiaobao to check on the assassins, and walked towards the attic with the Yanling knife in his hand.

The door of the dark attic was closed, and he couldn't hear any sound at all, but fortunately, Ye Qing had lived here for a while, and the furnishings and other layouts inside, even with his eyes closed, he knew how to avoid it.

Gently pushing open the door that was not locked from the inside, a trace of surprise flashed through Ye Qing's heart, and the steps that were about to fall to the ground immediately became cautious.

The Yanling knife in his hand was slowly pulled out of the scabbard by him, and when the light outside reflected a flash of light on the half-drawn knife, Ye Qing only felt as if there was another knife light, slashing towards him like lightning.

Subconsciously raised the Yanling knife in his hand that had not been fully pulled out, and a sound sounded above Ye Qing's head, without waiting for Ye Qing to take a step back, he only felt a strong wind behind him, and then the strength of the Yanling knife body disappeared in an instant, only to see that under the light outside, a bearded assassin slowly fell.

From the time Ye Qing pushed the door to the time one foot hit the ground, almost everything happened between the lightning and flint, but all this was fortunately, before Ye Qing walked to the attic, there were still several guards with bows and crossbows behind him.

So even when Mo Xiaobao just said that the assassins had all been resolved, the guards behind Ye Qing did not relax their vigilance.

Therefore, when Ye Qing was attacked, the guards who were preparing to guard the door behind him immediately raised the bow and crossbow in their hands, thus shooting the assassin at the first time.

Ye Qing escaped without danger, looked down at the assassin who had fallen, and then handed the Yanling knife in his hand to the guard next to him, holding the guard's bow and crossbow in one hand, pulling out the field knife that did not leave his body in the other, and slowly walked towards the attic again.

Several guards behind him also followed behind Ye Qing with light steps, because the door was opened, so that the originally dark hall on the first floor could more or less clearly see the furnishings inside.

From the moment he stepped on the first staircase, Ye Qing, who was nervous all over, involuntarily had an ominous premonition in his heart, and even he was a little afraid to continue going upstairs, afraid that Zhong Qing and Fang Fei had already encountered an accident.

After all, he still doesn't know whether there is only one assassin or several assassins lurking in this quiet attic in this quiet attic, and he doesn't know if there are still assassins upstairs at this moment.

At the corner of the stairs, Ye Qing quickly turned around to face the exit of the second floor, and in an instant, at the corner of the corner of the stairs, where it merged with the night, instantly seemed to be alive, and a fierce wind sound came from Ye Qing's side.

The field knife in his hand was met for the first time, and when it sounded, Ye Qing only felt a slight pain in his wrist, and when the scimitar in the assassin's hand was separated, the tip of the knife still cut the wrist, but almost at the same time as the field knife was raised, Ye Qing's bow and crossbow in his other hand were there, and before the assassin raised the scimitar again and swung it at him, it was there

There was a thud, and the assassin hiding in the corner instantly clutched his neck and fell.

"Your Excellency......." The guard behind him whispered.

Ye Qing shook his head silently, signaling to continue moving towards the attic, and at this moment, the wrist holding the field knife felt a burst of hot pain.

The night became endlessly long at this moment, and almost every step of the stairs seemed to be stepping on Ye Qing's heart, praying in his heart that only the two who had just been killed had blended into the attic at this moment, while nervously continuing to walk up the steps.

On the second floor of the attic of Nuoda, the guards behind him slowly separated and searched around, but they did not find any more enemies, but Ye Qing did not find Zhong Qing and Fang Fei, and finally when the lights were turned on in the study, under the happy look of the guards at the door, Ye Qing walked to the door of the study, only to see Zhong Qing and Fang Fei, who were a little pale sitting in the study, at this time, the two of them were each holding a relatively small bow and crossbow, but there were no arrows on it.

Standing at the door and watching Fang Fei and Zhong Qing have nothing to do, and Zhong Qing and Fang Fei's eyes slowly looked at him with some guilt, and then moved to the guard next to him.

Ye Qing followed the gaze of the two, and saw that one of his guards had two arrows stuck in his shoulders and waist.

Without waiting for Ye Qing to speak, the guard squeezed out a relieved smile and said, "My lord, the last general is fine, it's just a little bit of skin." ”

Ye Qing patted the guard's shoulder wordlessly, and then motioned for everyone to go down, and then slowly walked into the study, looking at the two women who were still sitting side by side behind the desk.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Qing realized at this moment that because he was nervous about the safety of the two girls, his entire back was soaked with sweat: "It's okay, this time I was careless, and I almost implicated you." ”

"Who are they?" Zhong Qing, whose face was still pale, was still trembling when she spoke.

"It should be the Mongols, Mo Xiaobao is checking their identities and numbers." Ye Qing put the bow and crossbow and field knife in his hand on the table, and the wrist holding the field knife still had a faint trace of blood at this moment.

"Your wrist ......." Zhong Qing hurriedly got up and looked at Ye Qing's wrist with blood stains under the light.

"It's okay, it's just a layer of skin, it's not in the way." Looking at the thin and long wound on the wrist, it was enough to see the sharpness of the knife.

"The soldier...... Are you alright? Fang Fei asked with a hint of guilt.

"It's okay, don't take it personally." Ye Qing watched Zhong Qing bandage the wound on his wrist and responded to Fang Fei's worries.

After looking at the wrist that had been carefully bandaged by Zhong Qing, and then comforting the two girls for a few words, Ye Qing walked downstairs, now it is almost certain that tonight's assassination must have been planned by the Mongols.

The entire Ye Mansion has been thoroughly searched, and the assassins and corpses found in the backyard have also been carried to the front yard by Mo Xiaobao.

Just as Mo Xiaobao was interrogating the surviving assassins, Ye Qing, who came out of the backyard, found Zhu Xi standing behind several soldiers under the suppressed screams of the assassins who were stuffed with rags into their mouths.

"Mr. Zhu hasn't left yet?" Ye Qing walked over and asked.

"Lord Ye, this is ......." Zhu Xi's expression looked a little incredulous, although he had heard the screams just now, but looking at the dozen or so corpses in front of him, as well as the few assassins who were being tortured to extract confessions, he still couldn't help but ask.

"Assassins only." Ye Qing said lightly.
