Chapter 924 You Think of a Way to Save Him

ul. I'll be watching over you the whole time."Fang Jinshi nodded, truly speaking, this kind of plot that delves deep into the criminal underworld is really exciting, her blood was boiling, and she fel...Five assassins were left, and they finally stopped underestimating the seemingly peaceful Jinxiu Mountain Villa, where only women and children lived. They became much more cautious in their actions.

Zhao Xingzhou, accompanied by two guards, searched the manor for half a day but couldn't find the remaining two assassins. He felt uneasy in his heart.

"These two people aren't looking for the mistress, have they run away"

Another guard nodded. "It's possible."

"How about we stay at Madam Shao's place and guard her No matter what, as long as we last until tomorrow morning, Madam Shao and the others will be safe."

Zhao Xingzhou frowned.

"No."

The location where the young mistress and her companions are hiding is a secret. If those two assassins haven't left, but are secretly watching us from the shadows, then this would be like leading them right to us.

The two guards looked at each other with displeasure at Zhao Xingzhou's words.

What do you suggest we do then

"So many brothers died tonight, and we're about to make it through. Why don't we just stay here and protect the mistress That way, we can stop them from succeeding and keep ourselves safe. Isn't that a win-win"

That man suddenly stopped, his face contorted with anger. "You, Zhao Xingzhou, do you think you've remembered the last time our brothers blocked you You want to take this opportunity to kill us!"

Zhao Xingzhou's face was cold, "What nonsense are you talking about."

"When am I going to kill you all."

"As for you, so afraid of death, hoping for you to protect the young mistress, it's better to die here."

The two of them were instantly furious and almost came to blows with Zhao Xingzhou.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the eaves above their heads. Zhao Xingzhou quickly hushed the two men and rushed out, finding a pillar as cover and looking up at the roof. The other two guards immediately followed him out.

"Darn it, those two assassins didn't leave after all."

"We shouldn't keep looking around here. They are so relentless, and the young mistress is in grave danger."

"Zhao Xingzhou, I admit that my brother and I are a little afraid of death, but we're even more afraid of losing the Jinxiu Mountain Villa livelihood."

After all, it wouldn't be easy to find another such good master.

"At this point, what are you still considering Hurry up and lead the way, let's go to Madam's side and wait."

"Only two left, and we'll be through this crisis."

Zhao Xingzhou didn't dare to joke about Fang Jinshiu's safety. The direction the two assassins ran off in was exactly where she was hiding. He was afraid that they would actually be found by those two assassins, like finding a dead mouse by chance.

"Follow me."

As soon as he left, the two guards exchanged glances and a slight smirk played on their lips.

Time had passed for a long time, and the people hiding in the cellar could no longer hear any sound from outside. They could only anxiously wait for Zhao Xingzhou to come knocking on the door.

Zong Bai estimated the time, got up and walked to Fang Jinshi's side.

"Sister-in-law, it'll be daybreak in another hour. Young Master Zhao hasn't come to knock on the door yet. Could he have..."

He only made the worst preparations.

Fang Jinshi shook her head.

“Wait a little longer, I’ve sent letters to King Jing and the Seventh Prince. As long as he can hold on until reinforcements arrive, we’ll all be fine.”

She had long suspected that Yuan Buyu would take action against her family, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

Even though she had prepared thoroughly and cultivated many connections to increase her leverage, Yuan Buyu could still speak with fearless determination and act without hesitation.

She had never underestimated this Grand Minister. Looking ahead, if she wanted to remain in the capital, they would have to be even more careful.

As soon as the two men finished speaking, a knocking sound, the secret code to signal someone outside, came from above the cellar door.

Fang Jinxiu spoke up, "Is it resolved"

Zhao Xingzhou whispered back, “There are two more. I've decided to lie in wait outside.”

Fang Jinxiu frowned, just about to say that waiting for the rabbit wasn't a good plan. If they couldn't find them, it didn't matter, but once they did, who knew if there were more reinforcements behind them

Just as she hadn't finished speaking, a violent clashing of weapons came from outside.

"You all!" Zhao Xingzhou's voice rang out in anger.

"Damn it, I killed you all."

The two guards following Zhao Xingzhou suddenly turned on him, attacking. Though he managed to block the blades in time, Fang Jinshi and the others' hiding place was exposed.

"Hmph! You only have yourself to blame for your stupidity."

Two people sent a signal, and two assassins hiding in the manor appeared quickly. Zhao Xingzhou, outnumbered four to one, soon fell behind and was seriously injured.

"The target is inside, break open the cellar door!"

Fang Jinshu heard the sound outside and her face instantly tightened, quickly retreating.

"Have all of you draw your sleeve arrows and point them at the door. The moment these people break in, shoot!"

The cellar door was also dusted with powder by her, although there were still a few protective measures in place, Fang Jinshu's heart was still uneasy.

Zhao Yunni suddenly excitedly ran to the cellar door.

"No, Xiao Jiu is still out there. We have to save him."

"Jinxiu, Jinxiu, I beg you, save Xiaojiu."

"Please try to save him!"stinct, perhaps this tiger was simply different from other tigers by nature.Fang Jinshu walked over and asked Zong Yu to put the knife away first.Just moments ago, the tiger was trembling uncontrollab...
