The two quickly retreated, hurriedly drawing the long knives they carried to defend themselves.
At the same time, Ah Hu also joined the fray, and the four began to fight in the courtyard.
Yun Jiao was already awake.
She was a light sleeper, and woke up as soon as Lin Shuo made a sound.
Hearing the sound of swords, she was startled, got out of bed and moved to the window, hiding beside it to look outside.
The weather was hot, so she hadn't closed the window, leaving only a layer of mosquito netting.
Through the netting, she could dimly see several people fighting in the courtyard.
She couldn't tell who was who.
The two guards fought harder and harder, wanting to say they had no ill intentions and just wanted to invite Doctor Gu to see a patient.
But barging into someone else's home in the middle of the night with covered faces, they themselves couldn't believe their own words.
Kidnapping someone was definitely impossible; now, even escaping was proving difficult.
