"There are a lot of people who co." Long Xu snorted as he waved his sword. Blood splattered on the fallen man and he looked to the side. "How’s the other side?"
"Nan Si and Madam’s people are clearing up the area."
"Continue." Long Xu nodded and then lead the soldiers to continue cleaning up the area.
There were many people who ca to the Long Family Residence today and they should have specifically picked the day when Nan Hua was on labor.
It seed that there should be a spy inside.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to know the day of Nan Hua’s labor.
After all, Nan Hua basically didn’t inform anyone and only the servants who were in Nan Hua’s quarter today should know about this. But the assassins arrived not long afterwards as if they had long known that their chance of success was higher today.
Swish!
On the other side, Lou was staying near Nan Hua’s quarter with Chu Yue not far from him. His order from Long Qian Xing was to stay as the line of defense before Long Qian Xing himself.
The ti of labor could vary from short to long. And it might also take several incense sticks of tis.
So they were prepared for a long battle without Nan Hua able to help them.
Besides, how could Nan Hua fight directly after she had her labor?
Her energy would have been thoroughly consud because of giving birth to the child and after that, she had to rest to recover her strength. There was no ti to help them clean up these assassins.
"Long Xu and Nan Si should have done their job well," Lou comnted when there was not even a shadow of assassin coming towards them.
He thought that these assassins were sothing when they dared to make a move and calculated carefully during the ti when Nan Hua was unavailable. But it turned out that these people were still relatively weak.
"Don’t lower your guard." Chu Yue glanced blankly at Lou.
It would not be good if the enemy suddenly appear in front of them when they were unprepared.
There was no way Chu Yue would allow Lou to be in such situation and possibly lost his life.
"I don’t." Lou shook his head.
Even though they were chatting like this, he was still watching over his surroundings carefully. Because he knew very well that if he were careless and not pay attention, the enemy might ambush him suddenly.
Over the years, he had already followed Long Qian Xing on the battlefield. He was not going to make such a low level mistake at critical tis.
"Good." Chu Yue nodded and then focused on the surrounding trees.
The courtyard in the Long Family Residence was not bad but there were simply too many trees and other plants around, which obstructed their vision to a certain degree.
It was a bit annoying if one had to say.
But since it was sothing that Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua arranged, it was not good for them to say anything about this.
"Have you arranged to check the people who are in Madam’s quarter?" Lou suddenly asked.
The suspicion of the spy was naturally sothing that flashed in Lou’s mind. For these people to be able to follow Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua, their minds would have been tempered for a long ti.
They should have suspicions when they saw such a timing.
"Mu Yan is there to control them," Chu Yue replied.
"Mu Yan?" Lou’s tone had a hint of confusion. He knew Mu Yan, but he felt that Mu Yan might not be enough to handle these people.
After all, it was unknown who the servant was. If the person tried to trick Mu man, would she be able to notice it?
"Don’t worry." Chu Yue smiled faintly. "Mu Yan is very good at interrogation. She’s also very ruthless and follow Miss a lot."
Lou blinked his eyes and nodded, not caring too much about it.
After all, he didn’t know much about Nan Hua’s maidservants.
On the other hand, Chu Yue sighed in her heart because she knew very well that Mu Yan had followed Nan Hua for a long ti and for so reasons learned Nan Hua’s thod of interrogation.
It could be very bloody.
And Mu Yan would not stop until she received the result that Nan Hua needed.
It could be a bit terrifying for the others to watch, though.
Among the four of them, only Xiao Yun seed to be a bit more normal... to a certain degree.
"I see." Lou nodded.
The two of them waited calmly and on the other side of the Long Family Residence, Nan Si was busy fighting.
Swish! Slash!
Another n fell down and Nan Si looked up.
’It’s done.’
There’s no one else around him and none of the other servants ca out to join in the chaos. They were trained by Long Qian Xing not to ddle when they couldn’t help.
The best thing they could do was to stay away and avoid being involved.
Because there might be so people who pretended to beco servants in order to sneak into the Long Family Residence.
At that ti, the few people who were responsible for cleaning up might not recognize them and killed them accidentally.
These people knew the risks, so they would not co out arbitrarily.
Nan Si lightly jumped up the wall and looked outside. The guards were still fighting on the other side and the few guards in this area had moved away. They were giving him the right to clean up on his own.
’Two entrances, all headed to Miss’s quarter.’
Nan Si’s eyes flickered slightly.
He didn’t like to think too much and would only follow Nan Hua’s order. But he would still report the entire situation when Nan Hua woke up later.
After a few monts, he moved to the other gate to check the situation.
This will be a long day.
