Everything in front of Qin Yining's eyes seemed to be moving in slow motion.
Her hand that was held by him felt a steady stream of heat in the winter. She was pulled behind him and hidden behind him. Qin Yining could only see his tall figure in front of her. With his own strength, he isolated all the bloody scenes so that she could only see his back.
She couldn't see his face or his extremely fast movements. She could only see the cold light slashing at him again and again, but he used clever and tricky methods to resolve it.
He really wasn't a businessman! How could an ordinary businessman have such fierce and handsome martial arts? How could he be so calm and awe-inspiring in the face of danger? Who was he?
These assassins showed no mercy to him. Every strike was fatal. They wanted to kill all of them in one fell swoop. If he hadn't blocked in front of her, the guards she brought wouldn't have been a match for them. They might have all died!
Qin Yining knew that she had misunderstood him. Even if his identity was a mystery, he wasn't in cahoots with the assassins.
Qin Yining protected Duchess Ding and the Sun Clan and wanted to retreat into the house, but the assassins had obviously thought of this and blocked the way. Qin Yining could only take a step back and protect them as they retreated to the corner of the wall.
Pang Xiao and the four guards stood in front of the womenfolk, but he alone had to block more than twenty men, whose martial art skill was not weak. He also had to divert his attention to evade the arrows, and he also had to consider the angle of the arrows. If by any chance he was able to evade, he was afraid that she would be injured behind him. Even if his martial arts were excellent, he was afraid that he would lose sight of her.
"Huzi!" Pang Xiao immediately shouted and glanced at the wall.
Huzi immediately understood and gave up protecting the women. He picked up the steel knife he picked up and broke out of the encirclement, trying to take down the two archers.
Moreover, Pang Xiao had already ascertained the origin of these assassins.
At first, he guessed that Emperor Zhou wanted to kill him, so he investigated his whereabouts and wanted to kill him in Da Zhou's territory. He had his own people wear his military uniform to do the job, so no one would suspect that it was arranged by the people of Da Zhou.
But when he really fought with them, he discovered that these people's martial arts style was actually the same as the Tatan people who invaded the northern part of Da Zhou all year round!
Even though these people were dressed like Da Zhou, it was hard for him to ignore their tall stature and the smell that only came from living on the grasslands all year round!
The Tatan Khan was extremely cunning. He knew that Da Zhou was at war with Dayan, and the Tiger Army was rushing to the south of Da Zhou. They would definitely increase their attacks on the north of Da Zhou.
Ji Zeyu was probably using all his strength to resist the Tatan's invasion and buy time for him to recover Dayan.
He just didn't expect that these Tatan barbarians would not hesitate to cross Da Zhou's border and go deep into Dayan's capital in the south to carry out an assassination!
Wearing Da Zhou's military uniform to do the job, this was a clever tactic to use to confuse people!
Pang Xiao's mind was racing, but in reality, only a moment had passed.
At this time, Huzi had already killed his way to the wall. He jumped up and swung his knife at an archer.
The other archer saw that his comrade was being attacked, but didn't try to help or escape. He seized the opportunity to kill a few people.
Seeing that his arrows couldn't hurt Pang Xiao, he aimed at the women who were huddled in the corner and protected.
He fired three arrows in succession and wanted to move again, but Huzi had already attacked him, forcing him to jump down the wall.
As for Qin Yining, when he saw the cold light whistling over again, he only had time to turn around and hug the Sun Clan behind him.
The Sun Clan had already been scared to tears. When she saw the cold light shooting over again, she thought that she was done for, but Qin Yining hugged her tightly and stood in front of her and Duchess Ding.
The Sun Clan was moved and frightened. She pushed Qin Yining and shouted wildly.
Duchess Ding's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. She shouted, "Sister Yi!"
Pang Xiao saw the three cold lights shooting over. At this critical moment, he used all his strength to twist the neck of the assassin in front of him and rushed toward Qin Yining.
The arrows were extremely fast. He brandished his sword to cut them, but he could only block two of them. He couldn't block the remaining one no matter what. At this moment, he didn't have time to think and could only stretch out his arm to block it.
Qin Yining only heard the sound of weapons colliding and arrows falling behind him, followed by the muffled sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh.
Qin Yining looked back in panic and saw the tall man's back. However, the right side of his body was dyed red with blood. The sharp tip of the arrow had pierced through his shoulder and came out from under his shoulder blade!
Qin Yining gasped and couldn't help exclaiming, "Young Master Yao!"
She knew that he had saved her again!
Pang Xiao looked back at her quickly. He was still in the mood to raise his eyebrows and smile. Without hesitation, he broke the arrow that had pierced through his shoulder and threw it to the ground. Then, he began to fight the assassin again!
Blood spilled and dyed half of his clothes red. Qin Yining only looked at him and felt pain for him.
However, somewhere in his heart, there was an inexplicable tremor.
Qin Yining blinked in panic and shook his head vigorously. He wanted to get rid of that incomparably handsome and wild smile from his mind.
Sun Clan member hugged Qin Yining and burst into tears. "Sister Yi, are you okay? Are you okay? You scared me to death!"
Qin Yining came back to his senses and quickly patted Sun Clan member's back to comfort her. Then, he smiled comfortingly at Duchess Ding, who looked nervous and concerned.
Duchess Ding nodded with tears in her eyes.
More than half of the assassins were killed by Pang Xiao and Huzi. At this moment, another loud roar came from outside.
This time, it was the people from the Warden's Office of the Five Cities that Qin Yining had sent someone to invite.
There were only six assassins left, and all of them were injured. They were surrounded by the people from the Warden's Office of the Five Cities. They looked at each other and their bodies shook. Black blood dripped from the corners of their mouths. Then, they fell to the ground with a plop.
Pang Xiao covered his shoulder and sneered.
They were all Tatan's men of sacrifice.
Although they didn't kill him and didn't kill all the important people, they were wearing Da Zhou's military uniform and caused misunderstanding and discord between Da Zhou and Dayan.
Huzi rushed to Pang Xiao. First, he lifted his clothes and looked at the arrow wound. Then, he glared fiercely at Qin Yining.
Femme fatale, she was a big disaster!
"Master, are you okay?"
Pang Xiao shook his head. "I'm fine." He moved his bloody shoulder. "Yes. It didn't hurt the muscles and bones. It just pierced through the flesh. "
"But master has lost a lot of blood."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in front of the courtyard. A man in a black military uniform respectfully led a tall middle-aged man with a beautiful beard into the courtyard. It was Xu Mao, the commander of the Five Cities Warden's Office of the East City, who led Qin Huaiyuan in.
Qin Huaiyuan was panting. He first looked at the miserable situation in the courtyard. Then, his eyes fell on Qin Yining and the Sun Clan. Seeing that they were safe and sound, he finally let out a sigh of relief. His pale face improved a little.
When Huzi saw Qin Huaiyuan, he clenched his fists tightly.
