C49

Helian Manqiu silently slipped down from the eaves and stared at one of the assassins. She was prepared to wait for the assassin to escape and then follow behind them.

After a moment of observation, the three assassins were clearly no match for Gan Yuxuan's men. They were in a terrible situation and were at a disadvantage.

Helian Manqiu took advantage of the chaos to leap out of the darkness. A wisp of black smoke floated past and entered Helian Qingyu's room. In his memory, the mischievous and mischievous Helian Manqiu had once dug a passage from the garrison to the outside of the room.

There were definitely more than three assassins here tonight. There must be more accomplices watching from outside.

There was no suspense as it was impossible for the three assassins to escape the capture and kill of Gan Qianyu's underlings. If they were to sneak into the garrison, they would not be able to take down the three assassins in the temporary manor.

The three assassins must have snuck all the way to the back of the house on purpose to let the three assassins assassinate her and send people to capture and kill the three assassins, so that they could show their gratitude to her and the people of the Military Region.

"Zheng …"

There was a light cry, and the sound of a weapon being unsheathed. There was actually someone hiding inside Helian Qingyu's room with a weapon.

Helian Manqiu's slender eyebrows twitched. She had already set up a trap in Helian Qingyu's room. Why would someone break into Helian Qingyu's room?

She had repeatedly instructed Helian Qingyu to turn on the mechanism before going to bed every day in order to prevent anyone from sneaking in. Helian Qingyu did not know martial arts, so she could only use this method to protect Helian Qingyu.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes brimming with killing intent could be vaguely seen. A cold light hacked towards Helian Manqiu like lightning.

Helian Manqiu twisted her body to dodge the attack. The dagger in her hand was added to the other party's blade. She then turned around and moved to the other party's back, the dagger sticking close to her.

In a pitch-black room, two people were silently battling, their weapons making a slight sound.

"Qing Feng, has anyone broken into the young miss' room? Do you need my help? "

Outside the door, a question suddenly came up. After the question was asked, he took out the knife under his ribs and prepared to rush into the room to support Di Qingfeng at any time.

"Di Qingfeng, stop, it's me."

"You, Young General?"

"Yes, it's me. You get out of the way first, I have something important to do."

While Di Qingfeng was hesitating, that petite figure went under the bed and disappeared into the room.

"Uncle Yi, it's the young general. Please keep watch. No one is allowed to enter the young general's room."

"Protect the little miss well, has the young general gone out yet?"

"Yes, I will follow him. There should be no problem as this place is protected by the lord's men. There should be a mechanism set up by the young general in this room."

"Protect the young general well, don't let the young general be in danger."

"Yes."

Di Qingfeng bent over and crawled under the bed. He lifted up a wooden board from the ground and rushed into the tunnel in search of any trace of Helian Manqiu.

The night was dark, with only the cold moonlight and the frosty light shining on the ground.

A few lights flickered in the distance outside the garrison. In a secluded corner, behind a large tree, Helian Manqiu emerged from the ground. She stretched her head and looked around to see if there was anything strange. He jumped out of the tunnel and covered the wooden board. The wooden board had a thick layer of soil and grass growing on it. It was indeed a hidden tunnel.

He climbed up the big tree and hid among the dense branches. His sharp eyes swept around him.

If the assassin had reinforcements and accomplices, they wouldn't be too far away. They would definitely be observing the surroundings of the garrison.

If it was her, where would she have chosen to monitor the rescue?

In the dark night, the dim moonlight shone down onto the tiles, creating a pitch-black scene. Under the faint light, Helian Manqiu could see the ruins of a building not far away, and no one should have noticed it.

A light voice came from the ground. Not far away, Di Qingfeng quickly came out from the tunnel and looked around.

Helian Manqiu slightly furrowed her brows. She did not expect Di Qing Summit to follow her. She stretched out her hand to break off a branch and hit him.

Di Qingfeng twisted his body and knocked away the branch without pulling out his saber sheath.

"Young General."

He softly called out and flew in front of the big tree. Borrowing the moonlight, he saw Helian Manqiu slide down from the tree. A black veil covered her face.

"Di Qingfeng, go back first. I will be fine."

"Young General, I beg of you to let this lowly general stay by your side to protect the young general. Your injuries have not completely healed."

"Come, follow me."

Helian Manqiu did not want to waste any more time. If this continued, the three assassins at the back of the mansion would be willing to be captured and killed by the assassins. The assassin's accomplices would definitely escape and report back.

Sure enough, just as she bent down and charged towards the ruins of a nearby building, a streak of red light soared into the air from the back of the garrison mansion. It was a firework used to inform her of the danger.

Red meant failure.

Helian Manqiu's speed was even faster. Like a leopard cat in the darkness, she quickly hid herself on top of a tall tree outside the dilapidated wall and looked into the distance.

Indeed, two black shadows quickly fled into the distance.

Helian Manqiu made a hand gesture to Di Qingfeng, hinting him to follow and capture the two men in black.

Di Qingfeng nodded and leaped out like a leopard, instantly chasing after him.

She didn't move from her original spot. She was waiting. A group of people attacking targets would attract attention. A group of people would observe and support her. There should still be someone else hiding in the dark.

This was the basic instruction of the special forces. He wondered if the ancient people would use this method here.

She just didn't want to act rashly. The wisdom of the ancient people couldn't be underestimated. For the past few days, she had witnessed with her own eyes how those ordinary craftsmen of ancient times possessed a pair of exquisite hands and wisdom. Those people were just untrained craftsmen. If they were trained to be experts, they would definitely be even more powerful.

"Sou, sou, sou …"

In the darkness, two sharp arrows were shot out suddenly. The two shadows that were running far away fell down abruptly. Di Qingfeng retreated quickly and hid behind a broken wall, asking in a cold voice, "Who shot the arrows?"

"I am a deputy general under the general's command, and the rats aren't going to be tied down yet."

He didn't know that Di Qingfeng came to chase after the two assassins and treat him as an assassin.

"I am the subordinate of the lord. I am Di Qingfeng, the young general's bodyguard. Come out and capture the assassin."

Seeing that he was one of Jia Yu Xuan's trusted aides, Di Qingfeng held his breath. He initially wanted to capture an assassin and ask for meritorious services, but he didn't want to be broken. He gritted his teeth. His master's arrangement was indeed thorough. Even the assassins on the outside were not spared.

While the two sides were negotiating, Helian Manqiu had quietly disappeared within the ruins. She was looking for another assassin accomplice that might not have appeared.
