88. Assassination

After the third watch, the whole nunnery was silent.

In Liu Xinning's yard, a few figures quietly came in.

One of the dark shadows carefully pried open the door of the main room with a dagger and touched the bed.

The bed hung down, and there was silence.

The black shadow pulled away from the bed with some haphazard and stabbed at the bulging mass on the bed with a dagger.

As he moved, he secretly thought that this time the deal was too easy.

It's just a female dependent, so the employer told me to be careful.

Watch out for what?

As long as you avoid the guards guarding outside the nunnery, isn't it easy to get in?

These guards of big families are just nothing, and they are really nothing compared to top masters like them.

The man was thinking about it, but he found that the dagger had stabbed him in the air?

He looked intently, only to see that the mass was just a brocade quilt and a pillow, and there was no one in it???

When the man saw this, he secretly said something bad in his heart, and then he flashed and left the house. As a result, as soon as they arrived in the courtyard, a guard rushed over.

For a while, the sound of fighting was everywhere.

Liu Xinning stood in the shadows behind the door of the ear room, watching the fight scene with cold eyes.

She doesn't know martial arts, but she can also see that these people should be good at martial arts.

After all, the guards were slowly dwarfed by each other.

However, there was a vigorous figure in the courtyard, fighting like a swimming dragon, saving the decadent situation.

Liu Xinning is not particularly worried.

Sooner or later, the movement in this courtyard will alarm the others, and Wu Ni of the Nine Holy Nunnery will soon rush over.

What's more, it's not just people from Liufu who stay in these Nine Holy Nunnery. Then there are guards in other houses, too.

Sure enough, the sound of fighting in this courtyard attracted the attention of others, and it seemed that people were coming here one after another.

"Ah......h

Suddenly, a rapid exclamation sounded.

Liu Xinning looked over sternly, and saw the second-class maid Xingrui screaming in fright because she saw the sight of a head falling to the ground.

"Shut up." Liu Xinning scolded in a low voice.

However, it was too late, and someone followed the sound and watched.

"People are in the east room." Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, and it was obvious even in the middle of a fight.

These words immediately caused all the thieves to run towards this side. And the guards, led by Xiao Muze, tried their best to resist.

However, it was too late. Someone broke through the encirclement of the guards and rushed to the door of the ear room.

Liu Xinning had a cold face and was surrounded by the maids and stepped back.

However, she clenched the dagger in one hand and the medicine bag in the other, ready at all times.

When the big maid or the spring warm vigil, two maids should be left outside to wait at any time. This is the usual practice in Shuyi Garden on weekdays.

Now, when I came to the Zen Temple, it was the spring vigil, and the light smoke slept in the east ear room with the apricot stamen and waited for orders.

However, in the middle of the night, Liu Xinning quietly went from the main room to the east room with spring warmth.

Their movements were so light that there was movement in the courtyard, and Light Smoke and Apricot woke up.

When they saw Liu Xinning, they only thought that they were frightened by the movement outside.

The four of them were all hiding well. However, who would have thought that Xingrui would leak her whereabouts at this time.

Chun Nuan and Light Smoke looked at Xingrui who was sitting on the ground with hatred, but they didn't have time to settle accounts with her at this time.

The killer kicked open the door and rushed in.

Xingrui, who was sitting slumped by the door, shouted in fright again, and was slashed by the killer with a knife and was silent.

This made the remaining three people feel tight.

Chun Nuan and Light Smoke glanced at each other, then pushed Liu Xinning back, and rushed up to block it.

"Don't go."

The incident happened suddenly, and Liu Xinning's cry did not stop, and she saw that Light Smoke and Chun Nuan were kicked away by the killer one by one.

The light smoke hit the wall directly and fainted.

Chun Nuan crawled back and hugged the killer's leg desperately, looked at Liu Xinning and shouted: "Run, run......"

Liu Xinning ran towards Chun Nuan.

The advantage of the Hidden Arrow is that it can be beaded and should not be spotted. But the disadvantage is that the range is too close, and the farther it is ineffective.

Xiao Muze, who was outside the door, saw this scene, and was so frightened that he couldn't help but exclaim: "Run back." ”

After shouting, he ignored the knife that fell on his back, and after receiving it, he still rushed quickly towards the ear room.

However, it seems that it is too late......

The killer looked at Liu Xinning who ran over, and while kicking Chun Nuan away, he slashed at Liu Xinning with a knife.

And Liu Xinning seemed to be very scared when she saw Chun Nuan, who was kicked far away and spit blood.

She stopped running, but collapsed to the ground.

She even used her wide sleeves to block in front of her, as if this would make the killer unable to see her.

Chun Nuan, who was kicked and vomited blood, was heartbroken, and Xiao Muze, who was injured and rushed to the door, was stunned.

In this flash of light, the two of them saw the black shadow fall to the ground.

"You ......" The black shadow didn't seem to believe that this sturdy figure just now was the weak woman from before.

The powder made him subconsciously close his eyes, but when he opened his eyes again, he saw that he had been hit by multiple hidden arrows.

He was about to raise his hand to fight to the death, but he saw a sharp dagger plunged into his chest.

Xiao Muze, who arrived later, looked at the scene in front of him a little stunned.

However, Liu Xinning quickly put away the dagger and the hidden arrow.

Then, she grabbed Xiao Muze's hand and stabbed his long sword into the wound on the black-clothed man's chest.

She even turned the man over, allowing the long sword to pass through his chest, completely covering up the traces of the dagger.

After doing this, Liu Xinning was not idle.

She first went to see the fallen light smoke and pushed her to stay. ran to Xingrui, who fainted, and pushed hard a few times but didn't move.

Liu Xinning ran behind Xiao Muze with confidence and shouted loudly with a crying voice.

"Thanks to you for saving me, otherwise I would have died......"

Liu Xinning's cry was filled with fear.

What everyone saw in a blink of an eye was that Escort Xiao was vigorous and successful.

Xiao Muze finally came to his senses. He watched Liu Xinning's movements, thoughtful.

"I'll explain it to you later."

Liu Xinning responded to Xiao Muze's gaze, and after whispering a word, she ran to help the injured Chun Nuan.

After Xiao Muze took a deep look at Liu Xinning, he went out and closed the door, guarded the door, and fought with those people.

After a while, the guards of the other families and Wu Ni of the Nine Holy Nunnery arrived in time to join the fight.

The fight ended quickly.

The dead were piled up on the side, and the injured were directly taken care of by Liu Xinning.

"County Lord, what should I do next?" Xiao Muze saw that everyone was almost cleaned up, and then walked to Liu Xinning's side and asked.

"Next," Liu Xinning's eyebrows sharpened, and her chest straightened, "The next step, of course, is to report to the official." Plotting to assassinate the royal family is a felony. Now there are so many lives, and they should be handed over to Dali Temple to deal with. ”

"The county lord...... Confirmed. Xiao Muze took a deep look at Liu Xinning and asked.

"I'm pretty sure. Go ahead. Liu Xinning replied with a smile as if she had unloaded a thousand pounds of burden.

"Yes."

Xiao Muze didn't say anything anymore, but ordered two guards who were relatively lightly injured to take the token and rode towards the capital.
