Chapter 2124: Chapter 2124: Surrounded

But he hadn’t expected that Sui Zimo would be so disobedient!

Now, the person he was looking for had disappeared. Clearly, someone wanted to strike at him secretly from the shadows.

And now, Sui Zimo had Yin Baiqing with him, which made him suspect that Sui Zimo might have gone directly to Prince Niu’s Mansion with Baiqing.

"No, I must visit Prince Niu’s Mansion tomorrow to see for myself."

Just now, he had ordered his guards to kill a family of three, but it was just a test.

He had no hope that they could actually kill the family of three, after all, that was Prince Niu’s Mansion, where numerous well-prepared guards are not just for show.

Since Princess Consort Niu had brought those people into Prince Niu’s Mansion, she must have assigned protection for them. His men might be able to get close to the family of three.

But as long as the family of three had a bit of mystical power with them, it would be impossible for his men to kill them inside Prince Niu’s Mansion.

This much he was clear about.

Therefore, he must go tomorrow to see who exactly that family of three was.

If all else fails, he could ask Prince Niu to drive them out of the Mansion, which would be better than being on tenterhooks every day in his own royal estate.

"Hiss!"

He took a deep breath.

Had it not been for a shred of reason that remained, he would have wanted to go to Prince Niu’s Mansion right now and see who exactly that family of three was.

...

That night.

The assassins sent by Yin Lvqing to kill Sui Zimo and the two others inside Princess Consort Niu had stealthily arrived outside their courtyard.

’Splash’

An assassin dressed in black jumped from over the wall, and just by chance, landed directly into a large water jar placed in the corner of the courtyard wall.

"Who’s there?!"

The servant guarding the courtyard heard the noise and immediately shouted.

"Damn it."

The leader of the assassins’ face turned pale with a greenish tint, cursing his bad luck silently.

"Retreat, quick retreat!"

They had never expected that inside Prince Niu’s Mansion, someone would place a jar at the corner of a wall.

He glanced sideways, noticing several more water jars haphazardly placed, clearly just positioned there.

Which clueless servant did this? The layout of the Mansion is fixed, random placement of objects isn’t allowed, isn’t this deliberately sabotaging them?

He immediately ordered a withdrawal.

Unfortunately, it was too late. After the servant’s loud shout, the news spread quickly within Prince Niu’s Mansion.

Guard detachments, covert guards, all swarmed out, encircling the assassins who had barely run a few steps.

"Leader, what do we do? We can’t get out."

One of the assassins looked around, unsure whether to move forward or retreat.

"What’s there to panic about? We fight our way out!"

The leading assassin glared at him with cold eyes and spoke fiercely.

Of course, facing so many guards from Prince Niu’s Mansion, it was impossible to break through. But they were all death warriors; to them, if the task was not successful, then death was the only outcome.

"At worst, it’s just death."

Weren’t these people born to die for their master?

Saying this, he raised his sword and charged at the guards of Prince Niu’s Mansion, followed by the other assassins charging together.

...

"Tsk tsk."

At the courtyard gate, Lin Caisang was holding some pastries, slowly savouring them.

Watching the brightly lit scene not far away, listening to the sound of cold weapons clashing, she clicked her tongue twice.
