In the dead of night, in a remote back alley in Chang'an City. There were several black shadows swaying under the outer walls, and the moon hid in the black clouds, and the night that could not be seen covered by all darkness.

The lantern hanging under the eaves outside the small building flickered brightly, and the jade lying on the bed in the west room fell asleep in a daze.

"Poof, poof" twice, the lantern seemed to be blown by the wind, the only light in the courtyard disappeared, and the people on the bed still slept quietly, until a faint "ding" sound sounded-

Yi Yu opened his eyes suddenly, and the small hands stacked on the side of his face hurriedly reached under the pillow, grabbed a porcelain bottle, sat up lightly, nestled at the head of the bed, and pricked up his ears to listen to a short but clear sound of metal colliding and clothing rubbing outside the house...

She didn't have time to be annoyed that she had fallen asleep, and when the third muffled snort came from outside the house, she frowned, rolled over and got out of bed and put on her shoes, tightened the placket of her clothes with one hand, and walked on tiptoe towards the window.

Yu Yu was careful not to touch anything in the dark rumbling room, and fumbled his steps. Sure enough, Lu Zhi will not be untargeted, something really happened tonight.

Xu was not as nervous as she expected because of Li Tai's attitude at night, but she still carefully bent down and got close to the window, took out a knife from her waist that usually cut medicinal herbs, and gently scratched it on the window paper.

The big dark clouds in the night sky drifted away, and the moon showed half of the silver horns, but these little lights were enough to make people see clearly everything that was happening in the courtyard, as if to laugh at her previous Xu disapproval, after she looked out of the house through the gap in the window paper, the little face with a residual red face because of waking up was suddenly bloody!

Those in the courtyard who are dressed in black and have a fluttering figure are obviously the uninvited guests tonight, the maids and subordinates who are waiting inside and outside the small building during the day are holding sharp blades to bump into them, both sides did not make a sound, only when a knife and a sword cut through the clothes, spurting blood will they snort, these black-clothed people are about seven or eight, and the side guarding the small building is more than them, and there are a few of them that Yu Yu has never seen.

But this is almost twice the number, but it is at a disadvantage, Yi Yu watched a maid who had served her, being slashed on the shoulder by a long knife shining with silver light, and after a deep snort, the bloody arm fell to the ground in response, and a large amount of piercing blood instantly came out of her gray cloth. Dye her hazy face in the moonlight bright red! But when the man in black turned to his next companion, she pounced on her with only one arm left, and was slashed in the back again!

The man in black could almost cut down a figure in seven or eight moves, and Yu Yu clenched his trembling teeth tightly, forcing himself not to close his eyes, holding the medicine bottle tightly against his chest with one hand, and pressing it on his neck with the other hand, trying to make the suffocating feeling of being held tightly by his throat disappear.

Fear and anger filled her mind, and the word "beware" on Lu Zhi's note kept flashing in her mind, but she was drenched in a layer of blood red by the scene in the courtyard!

The slaughter in the courtyard continued, and no one seemed to notice that under the window across the wall, a slender figure was hiding, with white five fingers buckled on the window railing, and with the depth of blood, the joints showed a blue and white color.

At the same time, there was a faint sound of fighting from the back of the house, and Yu Yu's heartbeat intensified again, and the black-clothed people in the courtyard had gradually approached the small building, and half of the people who had tried to stop them had fallen in a pool of blood, and a thick fishy smell filled her nose.

After smelling a faint sour smell of blood, Yu Yu's face turned pale again. Turning to look at the back window, she had sprinkled some special medicinal powder under all the windows and doors, once there was a breath other than her approaching the room, those medicinal powders would keenly emit this smell, it seemed that the small building had been surrounded by people in front and back!

The purpose of these cruel black-clothed people must be on Li Tai, Xiaolou is surrounded by the front and back, obviously to cut off their back road, she continues to hide in the house, just waiting for death!

Die? Yu bit her lower lip and forced herself to calm down. Yes, Li Tai, and Li Tai, he was so calm at night, he definitely had a trick, absolutely... However, he is still asleep, and he will not wake up until dawn, and he is still too late to take care of himself-

It's better to rely on yourself than on others! She clenched her fists tightly, turned around and groped her way back to the bed, turned over some things from under the futon and put them in her sleeves, grabbed the fire fold on the table next to the bed, hurriedly pushed open the bedroom door by the faint point of light, and when she walked to the door of the living room, she pulled out the cork of the porcelain bottle that she had been holding in her hand—

"Bang!" There was a sound, and a figure was kicked and smashed on her door, and she took four or five steps back in a row, and then another figure appeared behind the door, after the second "bang". The closed door was kicked open.

Yu Yu's pupils contracted suddenly, staring at the man in black a few steps away from him, the blood red dripping from his masked scarf was so dazzling, and the scimitar he raised high glowed with a cold cold light!

"Poof!"

"Ugh!"

The light and shadow flickered in the pair of black pupils, and the movement of the man in black raising the knife stopped at that moment, and before he could swing out the porcelain vase placed on his chest, he saw him scream in pain, and fell softly in front of him, and the blood spurting from his back stained half of the corners of her skirt.

"Miss Lu!" Zhao He's low shout made Yi Yu breathe again, she bit her lip vigorously, and asked in a dumb voice:

"What now?"

She didn't scream in panic, she didn't lose her mind in a hurry, this reaction surprised Zhao He, who was constantly oozing blood from the torn clothes on her waist, and regardless of etiquette, she stepped forward and pulled her arm with one hand and ran towards the door.

Yi Yu didn't struggle, she knew that what she was doing at the moment was superfluous, at first she thought that with those medicines, she could more or less protect herself, but at the moment when the man in black swung the knife just now, she clearly realized how ridiculous her thoughts were!

How can she have time to use medicine, facing these martial arts practitioners, all her movements are as slow as a snail. Before she could spill the medicine, I was afraid that the blade would have fallen on her.

The fight in the courtyard has been carried out to the white heat, seeing Zhao He leading her out of the house, the two men in black pounced together, the smell of blood several times stronger than in the house made the jade stomach roll, Zhao He grabbed the arm and stumbled forward, the hellish scene in the afterglow made her eyes sting, and the corpse close to her feet made her only clench her teeth to stop the trembling body.

Zhao He blocked her in the corridor and met the two with one hand, knocking back one of them while the other was about to slash Zhao He. was stopped by a subordinate who suddenly appeared behind him.

Taking advantage of the gap, Zhao He dragged her to the east room of the small building, kicked open the door, and squeezed her in sideways, Yi Yu was caught off guard and fell to the ground in the door, and when he looked up, he only had time to hear his whispered explanation:

"Don't come out."

The door closed in front of her eyes, and the sound of fighting in the courtyard instantly became smaller.

Heavy breathing sounded in the silent room, and Yu Yu pressed one hand to his chest, feeling the heart that was about to jump out of his chest, and the other hand could no longer bend over and retch after being stained with the sticky blood on the hem of his clothes.

"Gross!" Spit out two mouthfuls of sour water in a row, and the tears flowed slowly.

"Yo!" A low, short chirp made her turn her embarrassed little face and see the snow-white figure emerging from behind the screen, and finally regained a trace of reason from her chaotic mood.

"Yo," Yinxiao stood motionless on the edge of the screen, so called, but as if beckoning her to pass.

Yu wiped her face with her sleeve, got up from the ground and locked the door tightly from the inside, turned around and walked quickly to it, her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't make any sound.

Yinxiao poked his head over her and rubbed against her, turned and shook behind the screen, Yu Yu sniffed and followed closely behind it—

Li Tai lay quietly on the bed, Ruyu's face was half shadowed, the moon-white silk on his body was spotless, and the bloody breath outside the house gradually drifted in, but it couldn't affect this clean color at all.

Yi Yu stared at his face for a while, his mood slowly calmed down, Yinxiao moved to the side of the bed and stood upright, turned her head to look at her, she walked to it, picked up the corner of her dyed red skirt, leaned back against the side of the bed, and sat on the ground close to it.

Yu lowered her head and listened to the sound of fighting in front of and behind the house. The little hand that grasps the corner of the skirt is tight and loose.

Why did things come to this point, did Lu Zhi and Li Tai expect this to happen? Then why not prepare in advance, one inexplicably passed a note to her in the middle of the night, and the other is sleeping steadily!

Are the subordinates who are desperately guarding outside, the subordinates covered in blood, so worthless?

She had a sour nose, stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, but she couldn't stop the tears from sliding down again, the hot temperature crossed her cheeks, she didn't think she was a person with overflowing sympathy, she didn't have the man in black who Zhao He killed, but she had seen many of those people, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable watching these familiar people suffer this tragic encounter.

"Yo," as if sensing her emotional fluctuations, Yinxiao turned her head and pushed it on her shoulder, Yu Yu raised her hand to wipe the wetness on her face, turned her head to look at it, and was in a trance for a moment when she saw the pair of blood-red eyes.

As soon as Yinxiao's "grunt" sounded, she sighed lightly, put away those useless sadness, and quickly sorted out her thoughts.

At the moment, Li Tai can't count on it, this person can't wake up until the time, look at the sky outside, it's probably in the middle of the day, it's still an hour, and when he wakes up, it is estimated that the people inside and outside the house are already dead.

She reached out and gently stroked the soft feathers on the back of Yinxiao's head, this big bird seems to be here to protect Li Tai, although she has never seen its ability, but since Zhao He let her stay in this house, it is obvious that the safest place in Xiaolou is in this house now.
