Night falls quietly, and the Yangtze River not far away, rolling snow-white waves in the night, all the way to the east.

The sound of the "whooshing" river water brings a bit of vitality to the quiet riverside, and at the same time, the wind blowing on the river surface carries heavy moisture, which also renders a bit of coldness to the neighborhood.

Zhou Yu's barracks were lit up with fires, and from time to time there would be a group of patrol soldiers in the barracks, walking back and forth.

Not far from the barracks, Zhou Yu's residence, the window was also lit with firelight, and it was already night, and Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao had not yet slept.

Kneeling in the inner room, there was a cup of tea on the low table in front of Zhou Yu.

Since returning home in the evening, he has been sitting at the table and drinking tea.

The tea has been changed several times, and Zhou Yu doesn't mind how it tastes.

What he is most concerned about is the safety of Da Qiao's mother and son.

Zhao Yun sent Yu Lin Wei to enclose the residence of Da Qiao's mother and son, and Huang Sheng arrived here, and sent more than ten dragoon guards to take turns on duty.

Even if there are assassins sent by Sun Quan dormant in the barracks, in such strict precautions, they can't help Da Qiao's mother and son!

Kneeling beside Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao never said a word.

has been married to Zhou Yu for several years, and she also knows her husband very well.

When Zhou Yu thinks about things, what he likes most is to think quietly alone, if he talks to him, or is kind to explain, it will make him even more bored.

"Little Joe!" Taking a sip of the teacup, Zhou Yu said to Xiao Qiao: "General Huang brought news today, the unknown general was in the middle of the road, and he encountered an assassin, but General Huang didn't see who the assassin was!" ”

"The Assassin behaves quite strangely!" Zhou Yu opened her mouth to speak, Xiao Qiao knew that the time had come for her to speak, smiled sweetly, and said to Zhou Yu: "Come to assassinate, it should be aimed at my sister or Zhou Lang, there is no movement here, but I intercepted and killed the unknown general in the middle of the road, isn't it to abandon the original and chase the end?" ”

His eyelids drooped slightly, and Zhou Yu didn't say anything more.

Ordinary people's thoughts must be like Xiao Qiao, since the assassin is going to assassinate, then it is better to assassinate Da Qiao or Zhou Yu directly.

Abandoning the two of them, and instead going to intercept Nameless, the assassin's actions were indeed somewhat unexpected.

Picking up the teacup and taking another sip, Zhou Yu's brows were tightly locked, thinking in his heart, what were the intentions of these assassins, why didn't they come to the barracks directly, and even a few days ago, there were obviously many opportunities to assassinate Da Qiao, but they never did it!

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't speak again, Xiao Qiao also stopped talking, and sat beside him silently accompanying him.

Zhou Yu did not rest, sitting in the room, pondering the assassin's possible next move, and not far from his residence, two black shadows were quietly touching his residence.

Guarding Zhou Yu's residence, in addition to his personal soldiers, there were also four dragoon guards sent by Huang Sheng.

The dragoons did not stay outside like their own soldiers, but each found a place with the best view and watched the situation around them.

In the night, people's vision is extremely poor, although the dragoon guards are all swordsmen trained by Deng Zhan, but their eyesight is not much better than ordinary people.

Looking around, they rely more on their ears and keen intuition.

Two black shadows rushed towards Zhou Yu's residence, and when they were still twenty or thirty steps away from the courtyard, a dragoon guard sitting on the roof pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword.

The dragoon's face was grim, and he pricked up his ears and listened quietly to the sounds nearby.

The wind blows the leaves and makes a "rustling" sound.

The sound drowned out many of the sounds that were out of harmony with the night.

Under the room where the dragoon guards were sitting, two of Zhou Yu's personal soldiers were still standing at the door and whispering.

Their voices were so low that the dragoons on the roof couldn't make out what they were saying.

These sounds were not loud, but they also made the dragoon feel irritated in his heart.

If there hadn't been even the slightest sound nearby, he would have been able to hear an unusual noise that was already very close to him.

Due to the soft sound of the leaves being blown by the wind and the voices of the two Zhou Yu soldiers below, his judgment was somewhat affected.

I really wanted to jump down, first twist the necks of the two chattering Zhou Yu's own soldiers, or at least yell at them, telling them to shut up immediately, but the dragoon guard on the roof knew that he couldn't do this.

Since the other party dared to come to such a close distance, he must not have discovered the existence of him and several other companions.

As long as he makes the slightest move, the people who are lurking nearby will definitely turn around and flee immediately.

With his hands on the hilt of his sword, he pricked up his ears and tried to keep aside the sounds that he shouldn't have, and the dragoon guard listened intently to the unusual sounds that were getting closer and closer.

The two black shadows approaching Zhou Yu's residence obviously did not find his existence.

When they reached only six or seven steps from the outer wall of the courtyard, the two dark shadows stopped.

They looked around, as if they were probing the surroundings.

The dragoon, who listened intently, soon frowned slightly.

Faintly, he heard some more voices.

The sound that appeared was the sound of someone slowing down and walking quickly.

The sound that the dragoon guards heard later was almost at the same frequency as the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and it must have been difficult for ordinary people to hear anything unusual even if they listened attentively.

But sitting on the roof of the house were not ordinary people, but specially trained dragoons.

They have a keen sense of smell and hearing, and if there is the slightest deviation in a sound, they will immediately hear it.

The other party came not just two, but four.

Listening to their footsteps, the dragoon guards on the roof could feel that these four people were definitely masters of one by one.

Four dragoons, facing four assassins with martial arts, the victory or defeat is only five or five at most.

Just as he was thinking about the timing of rushing out, the next scene that happened surprised the dragoon guards on the roof.

The two people who appeared later jumped behind the two people who were lurking outside the wall earlier, and before the two people could react, they had already raised their swords and killed the two people on the spot.

The two arcs of light, although not very dazzling in the night, can be clearly seen by the dragoons.

Seeing two arcs of light in the darkness, the dragoon guard on the roof was stunned and hurriedly jumped down.

He suddenly jumped off the roof, and the two Zhou Yu soldiers who were talking were taken aback.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, the two Zhou Yu soldiers received a heavy slap on their faces.

Throwing his hand and slapping the two Zhou Yu soldiers, the dragoon guard scolded in a low voice: "Why is there so much? Lao Tzu listened to some movements, and was all covered by the of the two of you! ”

Covering their cheeks, the two Zhou Yu soldiers were stunned, before they came to their senses, the dragoon guards had already jumped out of the courtyard and rushed towards the place where someone had just been killed.
