Chapter 393: Assassination 2
At night, Madam Zhao leaned against Su Sanlang’s arm. It was difficult for her to fall asleep.
“Darling, what are you thinking about?”
Su Sanlang was not asleep either. He wanted Madam Zhao to rest well, but Madam Zhao was not sleepy at all, so Su Sanlang simply talked to her.
Madam Zhao said, “I’m wondering when that child will come again… What will the person he brings look like?”
According to Qi Xingzhi, he would bring Yan Qingyun for a blood test. If this last step was confirmed, then her identity would be confirmed as Yan Mian.
Her surname wasn’t Zhao, but Yan. She was Yan Mian.
She had another family. If she was really Yan Mian, how would she get along with these people?
Madam Zhao was in a mess.
“Darling, don’t think too much. We’ll be with you for everything. Moreover, Xingzhi is a very good child. I can tell that he’s very sincere. You don’t have to worry. They’ll make you feel very comfortable.”
Su Sanlang hugged Madam Zhao and said gently, although he was also a little nervous.
At the mention of Qi Xingzhi, Madam Zhao smiled. “Yes.”
Thinking of Qi Xingzhi, Madam Zhao felt much more at ease. Perhaps she was worrying too much.
“Let’s not think about it anymore. It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”
Madam Zhao said gently.
Su Sanlang nodded.
In the quiet night, there was only the even breathing of the family.
In the darkness, several figures were hiding in the shadows of the moon. They were holding swords and covering their faces.
Uncle Qi was still instructing them in a low voice, “This matter must be done flawlessly. There must be no mistakes. Remember, there are seven people. Don’t miss a single one.”
With so many assassins and layers of defense, it was guaranteed that not even a mosquito would be able to fly out alive.
This was the result he wanted.
Someone jumped over the wall of the courtyard and only made a slight sound. This small sound was even softer than a cat jumping off.
Someone went into the room, and someone unscrewed the oil drum.
Su Xiaolu, who was sleeping soundly in the room, wrinkled her nose. She instantly opened her eyes and listened to the commotion outside. She immediately got up.
She shook Su Xiaoling awake and covered her mouth with her hand. Then, she placed the sword in Su Xiaoling’s hand.
Su Xiaoling quickly calmed down.
As she heard Su Chong’s loud voice coming from outside, she immediately kicked open the door and slapped the man in black.
Su Hua and Zhou Heng got up.
“Second Brother, Third Brother, protect Father, Mother, and Sister. Leave these people to me and Eldest Brother.”
Su Xiaolu snatched a sword from the man in black and dealt with an assassin.
Who wanted to assassinate them? Before they could think about this question, Su Xiaolu and Su Chong immediately used everything to protect their families.
Su Hua and Zhou Heng’s martial arts skills were not that great. They quickly went to wake Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang up.
Zhou Heng went to bring Su Xiaoling out. The family quickly came out.
Su Chong and Su Xiaolu were skilled in martial arts, so these killers could not get close to them for a while.
Su Chong’s sword technique was fast and accurate. With one strike, the assassin could not get up.
Su Xiaolu was not bad either. She picked, slashed, and chopped. There was blood when she attacked.
“Everyone, attack.”
The leader blew a secret signal, and a dozen more killers immediately attacked.
“Father, Mother, retreat to the house. Xiaolu and I will guard the door.”
Su Chong said seriously. Although he and Su Xiaolu were good at martial arts, there were many killers. The killers wanted to take their family’s lives at all costs. The killers had no worries, but he and Su Xiaolu could not be careless.
“You have to be careful.”
Madam Zhao was extremely worried. Why did these people want to kill them?
The sudden assassination frightened Madam Zhao so much that her face turned pale. In her life, she had never seen a sword flash. The white sword under the moonlight dazzled her eyes.
Su Sanlang picked up the chair in the room and said to Su Hua and Zhou Heng, “Protect your mother.”
As a husband and father, Su Sanlang would never let his children and wife be in danger.
Swords had no eyes, but he was not afraid.
Since he did not know how to hold a sword, he would swing a chair and grab a club.
“Sanlang…”
“Father—”
Madam Zhao and Su Xiaoling called out worriedly.
Facing the siege of more than twenty people, Su Chong and Su Xiaolu had no chance to be distracted. Su Sanlang rushed out and smashed at a man in black.
“Father, Big Brother and I are here. You don’t have to worry about us. Go in quickly.”
Su Xiaolu was worried that Su Sanlang would be injured. She shouted at him.
Su Sanlang had risked his life. He did not speak or retreat.
Seeing that they were in a deadlock, the leader of the assassins immediately ordered in a low voice, “Pour oil and light fire on them.”
No one expected this family to have such martial arts experts.
However, there were only two of them. No matter how powerful they were, they could not take down dozens of them in a short period of time. As long as two of them were separated and there was a fire, the siblings would definitely split their attention to save them.
“Aunt, don’t be afraid. Xingfeng will save you…”
Suddenly, there was a loud shout. Qi Xingfeng climbed over the wall. He was still wearing his military uniform and immediately joined the battle.
Qi Xingfeng was as strong as an ox, and he was extremely fierce when he used his martial arts. He had been holding back his anger because he had to restrain it during training. He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could not sleep at night and patrolled the night. As he walked, he realized that someone was trying to assassinate them.
How could Qi Xingfeng sit still? He roared and attacked fiercely.
With Qi Xingfeng joining them, Su Xiaolu and Su Chong felt much more relaxed.
Seeing the assassins fall one by one, the leader could only grit his teeth and give the signal to retreat.
They were already having a hard time fighting the siblings. Now that Qi Xingfeng was here, the commotion was getting bigger and bigger. They couldn’t complete this mission. If they didn’t retreat now, they would all die here.
With a command, the remaining twenty or so assassins retreated.
Su Chong and Su Xiaolu did not chase after them, afraid that this was a diversion.
“Damn it! Who exactly wants to harm my aunt!”
Qi Xingfeng gritted his teeth in anger. He was so angry that his face turned red.
Looking at Su Chong and Su Xiaolu, he touched his head in embarrassment and said, “Cousins, don’t be afraid. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
“Thank you.”
Su Chong frowned and looked at Qi Xingfeng warily, his tone a little cold.
When their family first came to the capital, they didn’t make enemies with anyone. Why did someone come to assassinate them after they arrived?
Although Qi Xingfeng had saved them, who knew why he was here so late at night?
Su Xiaolu did not speak. She was also frowning.
Qi Xingfeng could also tell what they were thinking and he wanted to explain, but he didn’t know how. He was clumsy with his words, so he could only lower his head guiltily.
At this moment, the sound of swords and sabers could be heard outside.
Su Xiaolu looked at Su Chong and said, “Brother, guard Father and Mother. I’ll go to the roof to take a look.”
Su Xiaolu tapped her toes and flew onto the roof. She realized that the killers who had just retreated were surrounded by a team of soldiers.
