Sima Zhao sat quietly in the room, not saying a word, his eyes staring ahead, as if thinking about something important.

His face was gloomy, and there was a faint worry between his brows.

There was a sneer on the dark guard's face, dissatisfied with Sima Zhao's silence.

He had been waiting for a long time, waiting for Sima Zhao to make a decision.

"Sima Zhao, what are you still hesitating about?" The dark guard finally couldn't help but break the silence.

Sima Zhao's brows furrowed slightly, and he sneered: "I don't know what you're talking about." All this was done by my brother Sima Shi. ”

The dark guard sneered: "Is this shirking responsibility?" As a member of the Sima family, don't you have a little responsibility? ”

A hint of anger flashed in Sima Zhao's eyes, but he quickly controlled his emotions. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm not passing the buck, I'm just stating the facts." It's really none of my business. ”

The dark guard looked at Sima Zhao, and the disdain in his eyes became more and more obvious: "Sima Zhao, you should be like a man and take your own responsibility." ”

In Sima Zhao's room, the tense atmosphere escalated suddenly.

The dark guard's eyes were cold, revealing determination, and he decided not to be polite to Sima Zhao anymore.

"Sima Zhao, you must give me an explanation today!" The dark guard shouted angrily, and his figure rushed towards Sima Zhao like a ghost.

A hint of surprise flashed in Sima Zhao's eyes, but he reacted quickly and sideways to dodge the first round of attacks from the Dark Guard.

The small space in the room made both of them cramped.

Sima Zhao nimbly shuttled between tables and chairs, dodging the attacks of the guards while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

"I said, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Sima Zhao replied loudly, grabbing a chair and throwing it at the guard.

The chair crossed an arc in the air, and the dark guard flashed sideways, and the short sword in his hand swung out and slashed at Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao leaped backwards, dodging the dagger attack, and at the same time flew up and kicked the dark guard in the chest.

The dark guard took a few steps back, stabilized his body, and pounced on Sima Zhao again.

The contents of the room were in disarray by their fight, tables and chairs were overturned, and books were scattered all over the floor.

But the eyes of both men were full of determination, as if this fight was not just a simple conflict, but a contest of wills.

"If you force each other harder, don't blame me for being polite!" Sima Zhao said as he displayed a set of sharp fist techniques.

The dark guard did not show weakness at all, his moves were insidious and ruthless, and every move went straight to Sima Zhao's vital point.

"Yes, Sima Zhao, I didn't expect you to practice."

The two of them went back and forth, not letting each other go, and the room was filled with the sound of fist-to-flesh crashes and their gasps.

In this fierce fight, the dark guard gradually gained the upper hand.

He punched Sima Zhao in the abdomen, and Sima Zhao snorted and took a few steps back.

In this way, Sima Zhao was finally captured by the secret guards.

As the night deepened, in the guest room of Cao Pi's house, the candles flickered, reflecting the figures of Yao Maoyu and Qin Feng.

Qin Feng said to Yao Maoyu with a solemn face: "We have to be vigilant tonight. If there are no special circumstances, the Dark Guard will come. And, maybe there will be an assassin attack, and we can't take it lightly. ”

Yao Maoyu nodded, clasped her hands, and showed a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

"Qin Feng, do you have any plans? How can we respond to the dangers that may come our way? ”

Qin Feng looked around and his gaze fell on the window.

"We first close the windows to minimize the threat from the outside world. Then, stay alert and react as soon as there is movement. ”

Yao Maoyu got up and walked to the window, slowly closed the window, and at the same time observed the darkness outside the window, secretly praying in his heart that it would be safe.

Qin Feng patted Yao Maoyu on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry too much, we'll be fine." ”

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense, as if there was an invisible pressure.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside, as if footsteps were approaching. Yao Maoyu and Qin Feng instantly became vigilant, and they glanced at each other, ready to deal with possible dangers.

The door was kicked open.

Many Assassins broke in.

They were dressed in black night clothes, their faces were covered by black cloth, and only a pair of cold eyes were revealed, revealing a trace of murderous intent.

These assassins were swift and agile, like trained killers. They were armed with sharp broadswords, and the cold light flashed in the darkness, which was chilling.

Yao Maoyu faced the assassin who suddenly broke in, his face turned pale with fright, his legs were weak, his eyes were full of fear, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, seemed calm and composed, and his eyes revealed a kind of confidence and calmness.

He gently nudged Yao Maoyu and whispered, "Hide in the corner and protect yourself." I'll leave it to me here. ”

Yao Maoyu glanced at Qin Feng gratefully, and then hurriedly hid in the corner, trying to shrink his body into a ball, praying that this crisis would pass as soon as possible.

Qin Feng stepped forward and met the assassins.

"You're here to die."

His pace is steady, his posture is athletic, and every movement is full of strength and skill.

Seeing this, the assassins rushed towards Qin Feng with their big swords.

Qin Feng dodged a knife sideways and kicked an assassin in the abdomen.

The assassin snorted and fell to the ground.

"Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate us? Qin Feng asked while fighting.

The assassins didn't answer, they just attacked Qin Feng in silence, their sword skills sharp and ferocious.

Qin Feng's body shuttled flexibly among the assassins, sometimes punching, sometimes kicking, sometimes dodging, every movement was precise and powerful.

There was a tense atmosphere in the room, and the sound of the assassins' breathing and the sound of knives mingled to form an oppressive melody.

As time passed, Qin Feng gradually gained the upper hand. His athleticism made him elusive to the Assassins.

An assassin took the opportunity to swing his knife and slash at Qin Feng's back, and Qin Feng sensed the danger, and he rolled sideways, dodging the fatal blow.

At the same time, he flew up with a kick that knocked the Assassin to the ground.

"You're not my opponent, just take it!" Qin Feng shouted loudly.

The assassins did not give up and continued to attack Qin Feng tenaciously.

But Qin Feng defused the attacks of the assassins one by one.

Eventually, the Assassins realized that they could not defeat Qin Feng and began to retreat.

"Want to run? It's not that easy! Qin Feng quickly struck and caught an assassin who wanted to escape. He pushed the Assassin to the ground and pressed his knee against his chest.

"Say! Who sent you? Qin Feng's voice was majestic.

The Assassin gritted his teeth, refusing to answer. Qin Feng increased his strength, causing the assassin to feel a sharp pain.

And the assassin killed himself by chewing his tongue.

Seeing this, the other assassins also killed themselves by chewing their tongues at the same time, which was a particularly spectacular scene.

Yao Maoyu saw that their side had finally won, so he hurriedly walked out of the corner.

Yao Maoyu looked at Qin Feng nervously and asked, "Could these assassins be sent by Cao Pi?" ”

Qin Feng sneered and said in a firm tone, "It must be so." But Cao Pi will certainly not admit it. Now, though, we have to question him. ”

The two of them walked towards Cao Pi's room, and there was silence in the courtyard, only the sound of their footsteps echoing.

When they came to the door of Cao Pi's room, there was laughter and laughter from inside.

It turned out that there were men and women doing intimate things in the room.

Yao Maoyu quickly knocked on the door, and the sound inside stopped abruptly.

"Who is it?" Cao Pi's voice came immediately.

"It's us, hurry up and open the door".

Then, Cao Pi quickly tidied up his clothes and got up to open the door.

"Why are you here? Can I help you? Cao Pi's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

Qin Feng stared at Cao Pi sharply and asked, "Were those assassins sent by you?" ”

"What do you say? What assassin? ”

Yao Maoyu then told him about the assassin he had encountered in the house just now.

Cao Pi frowned and shook his head.

"How is that possible? How could Ben Hou do such a thing? ”

Yao Maoyu interjected, "Then why are we being attacked by assassins here?" What a coincidence, isn't it? ”

Cao Pi hurriedly explained: "This may just be a coincidence. Perhaps these Assassins had other agendas. Perhaps he came to assassinate Ben Hou and broke into the room by mistake. This monkey is here to make amends to you. ”

After that, Cao Pi bowed to the two.

Qin Feng sneered.

"Coincidence? Do you think we'll believe it? ”

Cao Pi sighed helplessly.

"Ben Hou really has nothing to do with this matter. Why don't you believe Benhou? But don't worry, Ben Hou will definitely investigate this matter and give you an explanation. ”

The two of them snorted coldly, and then left.

After Cao Pi returned to the room, the original joyful atmosphere dissipated instantly. His face was gloomy, and he didn't care about continuing to make love with the woman, and angrily reprimanded her, telling her to leave the room immediately.

The woman looked aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly packed up and left.

The woman was very aggrieved, what does this matter have to do with herself? Why do you want to be angry with yourself when you are angry?

But after all, she was just a subordinate, so she didn't dare to say anything, and she had already walked out of the room in an instant.

Cao Pi sat alone on the edge of the bed and fell into deep thought.

There was unwillingness in his eyes.

It turned out that the assassins were indeed sent by him.

He naturally hates the people who play Yu.

Although he understood that such an action was too obvious and might arouse suspicion among others, he decided to do so.

His heart burned with anger that could not be quelled.

He had hoped that the operation would succeed, but the Assassins on whom he had high hopes also failed.

"Damn! This waste! Cao Pi cursed in a low voice, his fists clenched, and even his nails sank deep into his palms. He was extremely disappointed and angry at the Assassins' performance.

He had originally believed that these assassins were elite martial arts elites who should be able to complete their missions with ease. But now, they have disappointed him.

Cao Pi's anger came to his heart like a tidal wave, and he couldn't accept such a defeat.

Of course, he had already thought that if the operation was not successful, he decided to put the blame on the Assassins, making them scapegoats, claiming that they had come to assassinate him.

It seems that the secret guard's martial arts are too high, why is there such a capable person around Xi Yu, but he has nothing?

And there are some people around Xi Yu who originally belonged to their own camp, just like Jia Xu, but now they are willing to work for Xi Yu.

There is also Xi Zhicai, this brute, he knew that he would betray him, and he should have been killed in the first place.

After Yao Maoyu returned to the room, the indignation in her heart was difficult to quell. He sat in his chair, his brow furrowed, and his eyes revealed dissatisfaction and helplessness.

"This must have been done by Cao Pi! But we just can't come up with evidence, it's really a wretch! Yao Maoyu said angrily.

Qin Feng walked up to him, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and comforted, "Don't be angry, Maoyu. We went to Cao Pi just now, and we didn't expect him to admit it easily. ”

Yao Maoyu sighed.

"So what do we do now? Is that all? ”

Qin Feng sat down.

"We went to him just now to tell him not to think that it would be easy to assassinate us."

Yao Maoyu yawned.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep, I'll be here waiting for my accomplices." Qin Feng Dao.

Of course Yao Maoyu knew that what he said was the secret guard.

He smiled and said he would wait.

In Sima's mansion, the secret guards beat Sima Zhao unconscious. Then, he quickly left with Sima Zhao on his back.

When he walked in the courtyard, he stunned the people around him, and their faces were full of surprise and fear.

"What's going on?" A subordinate whispered to the person next to him, with a slight tremor in his voice.

"I don't know, we don't dare to resist, let's stay away!" The other replied nervously, moving to the side as he spoke.

Everyone dodged one after another, for fear of being caught in it. With their heads down, they hurried to the side, trying to get away from the chaotic scene.

When a faithful servant saw this, he was anxious, but he was helpless.

Late at night, on the quiet street, the secret guard hurried forward with Sima Zhao on his back.

Finally, he came to Cao Pi's house. The door of the house was closed, like a sleeping beast, keeping everything inside in darkness.

The Dark Guard stepped forward and tapped the knocker lightly.

The porter heard the sound, and when he saw the secret guard carrying Sima Zhao on his back, there was a look of surprise on his face.

"Who are you?"

The dark guard whispered, "I am a person from the side of King Xiyu, and I have come to my companion for something. ”

The porter frowned and shook his head.

"It's so late, let's come back tomorrow. Without Cao Gong's order, I can't let you in. ”

The dark guard's eyes were cold, and he instantly made a move, knocking the porter unconscious to the ground.

Let him go, it's just that he respects it, and still thinks he can't get in?

He stepped into the house.

The courtyard was silent, only the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, glowing with a layer of silver.

In the house, the silent night is broken by the footsteps of patrolling soldiers.

When the dark guard saw someone coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "May I ask which room are the two guests who came here today?" ”

However, the patrolling soldiers ignored the guards, who stared warily at the uninvited guests in front of them.

"Who are you? Dare to trespass on Cao's Mansion! One soldier shouted.

Seeing this, the guards knew that they could not resolve it peacefully, so they quickly intervened and engaged in a fierce fight with the patrol soldiers.

The Dark Guard is athletic, and every move implies a killing intention.

The Dark Guard kicks one of the Soldier in the chest, and the Soldier dodges sideways and slashes at the Dark Guard's leg.

The Dark Guard leaps forward, dodging the attack and throwing a fist into the soldier's head.

Seeing this, the other soldier immediately swung his sword at him, and the Dark Guard dodged sideways, snatched the soldier's sword with his hand, and stabbed him in the throat with a backhand.

Soon, several soldiers became the ghosts of the Secret Guard's sword.

The dark guard carried Sima Zhao on his back and continued to walk.

There was silence in the house, except for the occasional croaking of frogs or two, breaking the silence of the night.

Suddenly, the guard saw a glimmer of light in a room in the distance. His heart moved, and he walked towards the room.

As they approached the room, Qin Feng seemed to have telepathy and quickly opened the door. He saw the dark guard carrying Sima Zhao on his back, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I knew you were coming." Qin Feng said in a low voice.

The secret guard entered the room, and Qin Feng closed the door.

Yao Maoyu looked at the dark guard and smiled at him, but the dark guard's expression was very indifferent, which was caused by their long-term professionalism.

The dark guard directly threw Sima Zhao to the ground.

"Has this kid already admitted that he wrote the letter?" Qin Feng couldn't help but ask.

The dark guard shook his head and told everything that had happened in Sima Zhao's house.

"I really didn't expect this little kid to have some simple martial arts."

Next, Qin Feng also told him about the two of them encountering the assassin tonight.

The Dark Guard sneered.

In this way, this Cao Pi is really bold. If the assassination succeeds, he will be at ease. If he didn't, he said that the Assassin had gone to the wrong room. ”

"Okay, it's not early, let's hurry up and rest." Qin Feng couldn't help but yawn.

And the dark guard went directly under the bed, and he just rested under the bed.

On the other side, Xi Yu in the barracks was lying on a hard bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

It was late at night, and the soldiers around him had already fallen asleep, but his thoughts were surging like a tide.

He didn't know why, but in this silent night, thoughts of several ladies suddenly welled up in his heart.

Their smiles, their gentleness, all came to his mind.

Xi Yu knew that several ladies were silently praying that he would return safely.

This expectation weighed on his heart like a heavy burden.

Xi Yu secretly told himself that he must not let down the ladies. He will fight bravely for them, for his homeland.

He wants to be their pride and make them no longer worry about waiting day and night.

At the same time, he remembered his newborn son Xi Ping'an.

I haven't taken it seriously enough to hug this son.

When it's all over, you must enjoy the family with your family when you go back.

He was now thinking about a few ladies, and he didn't know if any of them were sneezing at home.

Outside the tent, there were many soldiers standing guard here. (End of chapter)
