Xin Nian sighed and said secretly: Look at this mess, alas! I don't know when this matter will come to an end, otherwise life would be really sad.

Even if Gu Changting gave a hint, Xin Nian was really worried in the face of the internal and external troubles of this big family, not to mention that she was sure in front of the old lady, but when things came to an end, who knew if Gu Changting could really turn the danger into a disaster? Because she thought about it, she couldn't sleep, and she heard the sound of the third watch, so she sat up, put on the padded pants at the head of the bed, and came to the yard, just when she saw the apricot blossom coming back, she only heard her say: "I just looked around everywhere, and the people who went to night were still keeping to themselves, my aunt rested for a while, and then walked around the fourth watch, and gradually the day dawned, and the night passed."

Xin Nian nodded and said to Xinghua, "You just go to the warm pavilion and fall asleep." We're working hard these days, and you're not enough alone, so let Chunyu Sanniang and them replace you, and when you get through this period, it's fine."

Xinghua said, "I don't care, but I should find someone to replace my aunt......

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xin Nian say categorically, "No. You don't know the behavior of those river and ocean thieves, they are used to haunting in the second half of the night, just because at that time everyone is asleep, and the people on duty at night are much more slack, and accidents are more common at this hour."

Xinghua hurriedly said: "This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, forgive those Jiangyang thieves who dare not come. Besides, how can we say that it is still a royal palace."

Xin Nian said in a deep voice, "So what? In the past, those nobles declined, not without the collusion of internal ghosts with bandits. Now that the prince is imprisoned in the prison, our prestigious prince's mansion has just been reduced to a piece of fat, and if we don't protect it carefully, we will really let others slaughter it."

Xinghua had no choice but to go to sleep first. Here Xin Nian waited for two quarters of an hour, then went to the armory rack to take off the bright silver spear, and watched the housekeepers and ladies on duty gradually arrive, she said softly: "Okay, it's almost the fourth watch, let's go and take a look again, I'd rather work hard, and when the future is safe, I will reward you well."

Everyone agreed, followed her out, and patrolled all along the path of the house. When he was halfway there, he met a few guards, and Xin Nian said, "The five of you especially have to watch Shouning Palace, even if there are thieves, you must not let them frighten the old ancestor."

"Yes."

A few guards agreed to go, and the remaining half of Xin Nian was gone, and seeing that the mother-in-law who was on night duty everywhere was still in good spirits, and there was no gambling or drinking, Fang Jue felt a little relieved.

The night was dark, and it was the darkest time before dawn, but the thought of being able to rest for a while after returning made everyone's footsteps much lighter.

Someone stepped forward and said to Xin Nian: "Auntie is not as good as us, and you can still have a lazy nap, you are already overworked during the day, and you are still so serious in the second half of the night, where can you survive?" Why don't you leave this errand to ...... later."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a shout from above, "Who is it...... Ahh

The scream was followed by a scream, Xin Nian's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and a pair of eyes were firmly fixed in the direction where the voice came from, while shouting, "Who is making a ghost over there?"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a few figures leaping past like light smoke, and the direction was straight to her courtyard and the storehouse behind the courtyard.

"The thief will not be rampant."

Now in addition to Shouning Palace in the palace, the second most important place is Xin Nian here, especially tonight, almost all the female children in the palace are on her side, and the treasury is the foundation of the prince's mansion in the future, so whether it is people or money, there is no room for loss.

"Quick, tell the guards to guard the Shouning Palace and the Spring Courtyard, and then divide two more to support me."

Xin Nian commanded, and he also lifted himself up and rushed to his yard. She is a person who practices martial arts, and her night vision is excellent, although she is shrouded in a thick night, she can vaguely distinguish the figures dozens of steps away.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law trembled, but they didn't dare to go to the guards, so they could only shout together to spread the words of Xin Nian's orders. Xin Nian didn't have time to take care of them, and he had just separated from the guards, and this volume could convey the news.

The main target of several thieves was Xin Nian's courtyard and treasury, although they were discovered at this time, they didn't care too much: anyway, there were only a few female dependents left in this palace, and there were not many guards, so they were frightened by the slashing and killing atmosphere, and they took a few beauties and goods and left, and the horses were there

Outside the house, the guards couldn't catch up.

Because he kicked open the courtyard door one by one and entered the courtyard, he happened to take a picture with the women and children who rushed out of the house.

The thieves' eyes lit up, and they were about to step forward, when they suddenly heard a scream behind them, and when they looked back, Xin Nian was holding a bright silver spear, and under the faint light of the lantern, the blood on the red tassel of the spear was low, and a bandit was lying at her feet, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.

The bandits were taken aback, Xin Nian didn't allow them to react at all, and rushed over with a bright silver spear, only to see a ball of gunfire explode in the faint light, and soon blood splattered.

A bandit clasped his arms and shouted and retreated, but fortunately the people around him answered in time, otherwise he would have to go with the brother who rushed to the street with the momentum of Xin Nian's pressing step by step. ap.

"Stinky!"

These horse thieves are also outlaws with high martial arts and bold courage, seeing Xin Nian's bravery, they pulled out their weapons together, roared angrily and rushed over, and in the blink of an eye, they were fighting with Xin Nian.

Aunt Qin, Aunt Gu and the children all heard the cry of their mother-in-law and came out to check the situation, but they didn't expect to see such a terrifying and tragic scene, and they were so frightened that their bodies trembled like chaff for a while, and they couldn't even say a word.

Xin Nian was in danger with one enemy and four enemies, and finally looked at a vacancy, and when he saw that everyone was still standing in a daze, he couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and hurriedly shouted, "Go back quickly, close the doors and windows."

Aunt Qin and Aunt Gu woke up like a dream, and hurriedly arranged for a few children to go in. The six girls still refused, and were dragged into the house by Gu Yufeng and Gu Yushu, the girls were so frightened that their legs were weak, Aunt Qin and Aunt Gu dragged two of them in, and they also collapsed to the ground, not caring about anything else.

And was reminded by Xin Nian, but the bandit with an injured arm jumped over in one step, he originally intended to grab the two girls who were lagging behind as hostages, because as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Gu Mingchun's hair that fell at the end, and dragged him to his side.

The next moment, without waiting for him to lift the knife, he felt a chill in his heart, and then a sharp pain struck, the bandit still didn't dare to believe it, and subconsciously looked down, only to see a little cold light at the mouth of his heart, and blood soaked his clothes a little bit.

"!"

The bandit shouted, he was an outlaw, some were brave, and when he was about to die, he couldn't help but be ferocious, and he tried his last bit of strength to raise the knife in his hand, and slashed at Gu Mingchun beside him.

Gu Mingchun is a young lady raised in the boudoir, let alone seeing this kind of scene with her own eyes, even if she can't imagine it with all her imagination, she can't imagine it at all, at this time, seeing the blade falling towards herself, she was so stunned that even the screams were stuck in her throat, so she could only close her eyes and wait for death.

However, the expected pain did not come, but there was a "plop" beside her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xin Nian with one arm in front of her, the blade embedded in her flesh and blood, and the blood was gushing out, quickly wetting the pure white jacket.
