Chapter 885: Chapter 887: Entering King Qin’s Mansion (2)

Outside the door, the scorching sun still blazed and the wilted flowers and plants drooped even more. But there was no trace of assassins in the courtyard. Nevertheless, Nangong Yi trusted his instincts. He could feel that a large group of highly trained assassins was approaching him, and they were numerous.

Cai Wei also ran out. She had already instructed her family to hide under the couch, and she herself came out to join Nangong Yi side by side in battle.

"Cai Wei, stay here and don’t move. I’ll go and tell the people in the manor to hide. These assassins’ martial arts are extremely high, and there are many of them. It looks like Jin Guifei has dispatched her most elite Secret Guards."

Cai Wei uttered a sound of acknowledgment. Before she could ask the man how he had detected them, he had already vanished without a trace.

"Brother Ying, come out!" As soon as the man disappeared, Cai Wei called out in a low voice, summoning Brother Parrot.

Brother Ying came out, chattering discontentedly, "Master, I just helped you find your younger sister, and I haven’t even had lunch yet!"

"I’ll make a big feast for you tonight. Now go out and help me see how many people are coming from outside?"

To Brother Parrot, Cai Wei’s words were like a stimulant. He soared into the sky with a whoosh, a flash of golden light in his eyes, quickly scanning the Secret Guards who were rapidly converging.

"Master, there are about a few dozen people coming, and they all seem very skilled. Tonight, I want to eat boiled fish, and maybe some boiled meat slices as well," Brother Ying began to request.

"How long before they get here?"

"Uh... they’ve already reached the edge of the manor!"

"Damn!"

Swearing, Cai Wei ran to a quiet spot and called out in a low voice, "Giant Tiger, Chang Mei!"

Giant Tiger and Chang Mei appeared with a ’whoosh’, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go, take down those invaders for me. It doesn’t matter if they live or die, just ensure the safety of the people in the manor!"

"Yes!"

Giant Tiger and Chang Mei leapt out of the second entry of the courtyard and landed in the first entry’s courtyard, just catching up with Nangong Yi, and positioned themselves on either side of him.

There weren’t many people in the manor today because the spring plowing season was over, and the short-term workers hired by the manor had been sent away. Zhang Biaotou and his brothers were also not present. Because Fei’er was missing, the men of the Zhang family were wandering all over the Capital every day, carefully inquiring and searching, leaving no stone unturned.

And today was no exception. The brothers got up early after finishing their work and drove the horse carriage into town. After delivering the dim sum, they started to wander around...

The women of the Zhang family, however, were all there, busy making lunch. Because Cai Wei had returned, today’s lunch was exceptionally lavish. The sisters-in-law chatted and laughed while busily engaged in preparations.

Suddenly, a weird noise came from outside. Second Master Zhang’s wife, Lady Tang, heard the commotion in the courtyard, walked to the window and looked out through the open window only to be terrified by the sight.

In the courtyard, a Giant Tiger with white fur, larger than a horse, was crouching beside Young Master Nangong, looking like a small mountain, formidable in appearance. On Nangong Yi’s other side was a small Long-eyebrowed Monkey, nimbly jumping around as if waiting for something.

Lady Tang covered her mouth in a scream, drawing the other women of the Zhang family to come and look. Seeing this scene, they all trembled with fear, their faces pale as ashes. Some wanted to run out the door but were held back by others who still retained their reason, for in the blink of an eye, the situation outside had changed.

Suddenly, men in black with their faces covered, like ghosts and demons, flew into the high courtyard walls from all directions, their bodies light and landing silently. They all wielded swords gleaming with silver light, charging straight at Young Master Nangong, seemingly unafraid of the Giant Tiger beside him.
