Chapter 236: New Top Scholar (4)

Ban Hua heard correctly, something happened in the yard where Rong Xia lived. More than a dozen black-clothed killers somehow broke into the inner courtyard, killed two young servants guarding outside, and fought with several guards hiding in the dark.

If it was the past, guards would have come over long ago, but tonight's weather was cool, and the servants who had been in the heat for many days rarely had a good night's sleep. Coupled with the loud wind and rain, it was difficult to spread the movement in the yard here.

Du Jiu was holding a sword in his hand, and his whole body was soaked by the rain. His left arm was injured, so he could only rely on his right hand to stop the rushing assassin.

"No matter who sent you as assassins, we are willing to pay three times the price to get you to stop!"

Du Jiu stabbed an assassin who rushed forward, panting heavily, "Brothers, this business is only for money..."

However, these are obviously very professional at the moment, and before he finished speaking, these assassins rushed up again.

"Hou Ye, back off." Du Jiu's face was livid, it might be a fierce battle tonight, and the only hope is that someone among them can break through the siege and call for help. But these killers obviously came prepared, the door was blocked by them, and there was no chance to go out.

He wiped the rainwater and blood from his face, his expression became ferocious.

Rong Xia was guarded by these guards, but he did not sit idle. Instead, he shot and killed two killers with a bow and arrow. His swordsmanship is just a show, and most of the celebrities in Daye know some swordsmanship, but they are all elegant swordsmanship, and their swordsmanship will not kill people.

These assassins came prepared, with cruel methods and quick strikes. They were obviously professional killers.

He stood at the door, watching his guards were all injured, with no expression on his face. At this moment, there is only one person who misses his death very much, and that is King Ning Jiang Luo.

Only he would use such a bold yet shameful means. King Ning never thought that if he could really ascend to the throne of God, which courtier would dare to be loyal to an emperor who sent people to assassinate courtiers? As an emperor, there are many ways to deal with his courtiers, but Jiang Luo chose the worst way.

Such a person, even if he is lucky enough to become an emperor, he will not be able to sit firmly in the country.

He calculated everything, but he miscalculated Jiang Luo's brain, this person was more impulsive and stupid than he expected. His Rong Xia might end up in a thousand ways, but he couldn't die in the hands of a fool.

The arrow feather rested on the string, Rong Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, the arrow feather flew out, pierced an assassin's chest, and the assassin fell to the ground dead.

"Master Hou, you go into the room first, and leave it to the subordinates here." Du Jiu turned to look at Rong Xia, "The assassin is ruthless, and the subordinates are worried that you will be injured."

According to the current situation, he was really worried that he and the other guards would not be able to stop him.

"No need." Rong Xia took another arrow, put it on the bow and said, "You can die for me, but I can't covet life and fear death."

Du Jiu's eyes were red, that's why they were willing to follow Lord Hou wholeheartedly.

A piece of sincerity can only be rewarded with blood.

Ban Hua walked outside the gate of the courtyard and saw that the door of Rong Xia's courtyard was tightly closed, but there was the sound of weapons clashing from inside. Her eyes darkened, and she sank into her dantian, "There is an assassin, catch the assassin!"

Women's voices can pierce the clouds when they need it.

Ban Hua's scream was enough to wake up the entire Cheng'an Hou Mansion from sleep, and also startled the assassins in the yard. As soon as Ban Hua's voice fell, an assassin rushed out with a sword raised.

Turning around sharply, Banhua pulled out the sword in the female guard's hand with his backhand, and stabbed with the sword. Before the assassin who rushed over had time to react, he fell down with his eyes open.

woman……

A woman who can use a backhand sword...

The moment his whole world fell into darkness, his eyes were full of disbelief.

As a killer, most of them would not end well, but he never imagined that he would be defeated by a woman in the end.

Ban Hua didn't dare to look at the person lying on the ground. She lifted the corner of her skirt, kicked open the half-closed courtyard door, and rushed in with her sword.
