Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 183: Dark Night Assassination

Hibiscus Garden.

The candlelight in the room illuminated Huang Ye's face, making it hard to tell her emotions. "Don't worry. Even if they wanted to kill me, they should have waited until after midnight. Now everyone is still quiet. The killer wouldn't be stupid enough to come so early and alert others. He wants to hit the target with one strike."

"That also needs to be arranged in advance. Also, should we notify the old man and the others?" Qing Yu'er was anxious. Such a big thing, it could be said to be a matter of life and death. How could the young lady sit still like this?

"Don't alarm them." Huang Ye interrupted him immediately. Almost all the people in the mansion were scholars who could not stand such a shock, so it was best not to let them know.

Huang Ye's fingers tapped lightly on the table. Hongdou, who was standing beside her, knew that she was trying to find a solution. If she asked her to call the Second Young Master and Uncle Song over, she wouldn't believe that the four of them couldn't beat a killer from Wuyou Pavilion.

At this time, Huang Ye was also planning in her mind. With her and Hongdou's martial arts, plus the poison in her hand, it should be no problem to deal with an ordinary killer. She just didn't know the level of that killer. If he was a top killer, even if the second brother and Uncle Song joined together, they might not be that person's opponent. It would be best not to let them get involved and increase unnecessary sacrifices.

By the way, she also has the prince, and the prince is her secret trump card: "Qingyuer, you go back now and let your people keep an eye on her. Don't let your guard down in the two days before entering the palace. Also, if Qiu Die is in danger, you must find ways to protect her." She was not sure whether Qiu Die had been exposed. If she was really exposed, according to Xu Rou's temperament, it would be difficult for Qiu Die to commit suicide.

"Yes." Qing Yu'er went out full of worry. He now only hated that he had no martial arts skills and could not help the young lady.

After Qingyuer left, Huang Ye called out softly, "Prince."

Prince came over from the comfortable nest that Huang Ye had prepared for him and jumped onto Huang Ye's knees. His ears were pointed and he had heard clearly what Qingyuer had said just now. Now was the time for him to perform meritorious deeds. Let's see how he would show off his skills and let that fierce girl Hongdou see that Prince was not the glutton who only ate and did not work as she said.

"Thank you for staying on the roof tonight. With your sharp eyesight, if someone sneaks in, shout twice immediately. Hongdou and I will be ready in the house. When the time comes, the three of us will be together. I don't believe that anyone can harm us." Huang Ye also became ruthless. This man must die, otherwise there will be endless troubles. His current actions are obviously not issued by Wuyou Pavilion, which means that he can attack her family at any time.

The night of the second day of the Lunar New Year in the capital city did not gradually quiet down until after midnight. At this time, a black shadow floated up the wall of the Huang Mansion like a wisp of green smoke, and then floated down lightly. The guards of the Huang Mansion were not far away, but no one noticed it.

The prince on Huang Ye's roof grumbled twice, and the two people who were resting with their eyes closed on the bed opened their eyes. Hongdou clenched the whip in her hand, and Huang Ye held a dagger in her hand. This was what she and Hongdou had discussed beforehand. Hongdou would attack from a distance, while Huang Ye would attack from close range. To deal with this kind of professional killer, only by being quick can they have a chance of survival.

The tightly closed window was suddenly shaken open by someone from outside, and a man jumped in from outside. Before he could stand firm, a handful of unknown powder was sprinkled on him. At the same time, a long whip rolled towards him, and a dagger also attacked him like a shadow.

With his years of experience in the killer world, the killer dodged the attack nimbly. He gathered his inner strength and wanted to deal a fatal blow to the two ignorant girls.

But... where is his internal force? Why is his internal force gone? Before he could react, the second wave of attacks came again. He didn't have time to think about where his internal force was. These two girls obviously had internal strength, which shocked him. When did such people appear in the capital? Even their Wuyou Pavilion didn't know. Fortunately, these two people obviously lacked practical experience, otherwise with their internal strength, he would not be a match for them if they joined forces.

The assassination continued in the dark night. The killer maintained his offensive with his rich combat experience, while Huang Ye and Hong Dou fought him with their pure inner strength and lightness skills. As they did not want to alarm anyone, the three of them did not make a sound, and the killer did not notice that, without knowing when, an eagle flew silently from the windowsill and was staring at him hungrily.

The killer felt his body becoming more and more tired. He instinctively felt that it was related to the powder that was sprinkled when he came in. It seemed that today's plan would not work. If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to leave later.

The killer fought and retreated, slowly retreating to the window sill. Just as he made a feint and turned around to jump out, a bird he had never seen before swooped down in front of him and pecked at his eyes fiercely. The killer was so focused on greeting Huang Ye and the other two that he didn't expect them to have a hidden trick. He was pecked right in the face and almost cried out in pain. While he was distracted, Huang Ye stabbed the dagger in his heart and Hong Dou's long whip wrapped around his neck, strangling his screams.

Looking at the dying killer in front of him, Huang Ye did not have any sympathy. If this man was not dead, he would be a hidden danger. The key was that his death must not be known to anyone. If Wuyou Pavilion knew that he died in their Huang Mansion, it would be a big trouble in the future.

"Miss, do you want to interrogate her?" Hongdou asked quietly. Although everyone in Furong Garden had been drugged and put to sleep in advance, she still spoke in a low voice.

Huang Ye shook her head. This was clearly a killer who was bewitched by women. He had nothing to do with their family. He was just acting on Xu Rou's instructions. There was nothing to ask. Tonight, she used a drug that could disperse his power, and with the help of the three of them, they managed to defeat this man by surprise. It was conceivable that if she and her second brother were not in the mansion, if this man came in, the mansion would not be able to fight back at all.
