When the guards who were chasing Xiao Qiushui lost their traces of her and returned, they found that Li Xi and Zhang Lin were gone.

However, they were not surprised, it was already dark, and many parts of the palace were deserted and remote, so it was too normal for a team to disperse in this kind of operation to catch the thief.

At this time, because of their shouting, many guards gathered in this direction, and many guards who were going to the ancestral temple turned around.

Moreover, this also made the guards who had already arrived at the ancestral temple feel a lot more relaxed, it turned out that the assassin was still far away, not nearby.

Along the way, Qin Feng and Xiao Qiushui rushed towards the ancestral temple while shouting, and soon overtook many guards.

"Hey, isn't that Li Xi and Zhang Lin? Why are they so active? I don't want to show my face in front of His Majesty. Some familiar guards couldn't help but laugh and joke when they saw the two rushing over.

"Anyway, these two people are so trying, it's a shame for us." Another guard sighed.

The more Qin Feng and Xiao Qiushui went, the more guards they encountered, and they all rushed to the ancestral temple.

For the two of them, these colleagues also glanced at them, and after finding that they were familiar, they stopped paying attention to them.

After a few minutes, Qin Feng and Xiao Qiushui had already rushed out of the trail and could see where the ancestral temple was.

This is said to be a temple, but in fact it is a palace, surrounded by openness.

There are already a lot of guards gathered in front of him, and this place is already heavily guarded.

Therefore, it is even more like a forbidden place.

Circles of swords and spears of the guards flickered in cold light, and bows and crossbows were all wound, pointing in all directions.

If something is wrong, it must be covered by an impenetrable rain of arrows.

The commander of this place is General Huang Gai, who is powerful and not angry.

In this chaotic scene, it was he who commanded Ruoding, and the guards who came to support him in waves were clearly identified and settled.

He had set up several lines of defense, so that no matter how clever an Assassin was, he would not be able to escape death.

However, he also relaxed a lot after hearing the noise in the distance.

The Assassin was still so far away, and he had plenty of time to sort out the chaos and prepare for it.

In this way, even if the assassin had wings, he would not want to enter the ancestral temple.

"My Huang Gai's good head has finally been saved." Huang Gai said in his heart that if the assassin was allowed to break into the ancestral temple, his entire clan would be wiped out.

At this moment, several guards poured out of a small alley, and one of them shouted, "General Huang, I have news of the assassins under you." ”

The guard shouted and rushed forward, and soon a group of guards surrounded him.

"Who is this?" Huang Gai asked the people around him.

At this time, a guard immediately replied: "Jiangguo, this is Li Xi, the second eldest of Li Houye's family." ”

Huang Gai saw that someone could recognize him, so he was immediately relieved and said, "Let him come over." ”

There were guards over there who looked at Li Xi a few more times, but in this environment, the lights could not be like daylight, and the shadow formed by the brim of the hat could only be recognized.

"It's Li Xi." The guards reconfirmed.

However, there was a guard who was quite familiar with Li Xi who was a little puzzled.

"Look, it's more like Li Xi's eldest brother, but the two brothers are carved out of the same mold." The guard said in his heart, but he always felt a little strange when he stared at Li Xi.

"Stop, you're here to talk." Huang Gai saw that Li Xi had reached the outermost line of defense, and immediately asked him to stop.

"General Huang, the brothers of our squad found the assassins in the Lotus Pond in the southwest, but they are extremely brave, and it is really difficult for us to resist, fortunately, many brothers came and surrounded them, but I don't know how long they can resist, and I asked General Huang to send reinforcements." Li Xi said in a hurry.

He said as he approached Huang Gai, seemingly because he was too eager.

When Huang Gai heard this, he was about to send dozens of guards to follow Li Xi, but he saw him suddenly pounce on him.

Suddenly, he was shocked in his heart.

"He's an Assassin."

And the guard who felt strange in the back finally woke up to the fact that this person was taller than Li Xi.

Qin Feng directly rushed into the pile of guards, moving left and right.

The guards around all rushed over and surrounded Qin Feng, and the cold light of the knife in Qin Feng's hand flickered, and one by one the guards were cut down, and he narrowly avoided the heavy attacks.

"Good skill, but an assassin." Huang Gai felt a little sorry in his heart.

As soon as he waved his hand, a crossbowman immediately pressed up, ready to surround Qin Feng.

Now that his side has an overwhelming advantage, Huang Gai does not dare to let the crossbowmen attack indiscriminately.

In that way, those guards who were besieging Qin Feng would also be dodged and killed, and among them, many of them were noble children, and a few more would die, but they would turn the sky upside down.

Therefore, he planned to surround the crossbowmen and then let the guards retreat, so that the assassins could be shot into hedgehogs in a shower of arrows.

Just when everyone's attention was on Qin Feng, a figure suddenly burst out like lightning, and in an instant, it swept through several lines of defense and came to Huang Gai's side.

In an instant, the knife in her hand was on Huang Gai's neck.

"Stop." Xiao Qiushui shouted sharply.

She and Qin Feng had an extremely tacit understanding, and Qin Feng deliberately moved in advance to create chaos.

And she took advantage of the chaos to hold Huang Gai hostage and capture one of them.

Seeing that Huang Gai was being held hostage, the guards here all panicked.

For a moment, they all stopped, allowing Qin Feng to pass through and join Xiao Qiushui.

Huang Gai was shocked, and he wanted to let these guards shoot him together, otherwise the assassins would enter the ancestral temple, and they would destroy the nine clans.

It's just that his chin was removed by Xiao Qiushui, and he couldn't say anything.

And after Qin Feng and Xiao Qiushui met, they did not hesitate, and immediately used Huang Gai as a meat shield and retreated towards the ancestral temple.

They were fast, and in the blink of an eye they were at the gate, and they were about to enter.

At this moment, two figures suddenly rushed over in the distance, and the leader was dressed in black, with a graceful figure and a stunning appearance.

"Shoot the arrows immediately, if you let the assassins enter the ancestral temple, you will all die." The woman shouted.

The guards here were all stunned, who is this woman?

And Liu Guoshi in the back chased after him like a cow, this woman who looked weak was too inconsistent with her appearance.

At this time, he saw that all the guards were motionless, so he held up the golden token in his hand and shouted: "The emperor's order is here, release the arrow immediately." ”

"Obey." The guards here all answered loudly.

Suddenly, the bows and crossbows in their hands aimed at Qin Feng and Xiao Qiushui were about to loosen their arrows.

But at this moment, all of them were in a trance, and they felt their souls tremble, and their hands hung down involuntarily.
