In the darkness.
Over twenty shadows flew toward the courtyard from all directions like poisoned swords.
In the blink of an eye, the small courtyard was completely surrounded.
By the time Zhao Junyao came out to see.
The two guards he had brought along were already entangled with the assassins.
Although these two Imperial Bodyguards were top experts handpicked from thousands.
But there were more than twenty assassins; no matter how skilled they were, two hands couldn't fend off that many.
Seeing this situation.
Zhao Junyao quickly launched several signal flares into the sky and then instructed Xia Ruqing.
"Shut the doors and windows tightly, and no matter what you hear, don't come out!"
Then, he leaped forward, sword in hand, and joined the fight against the assassins.
Xia Ruqing was so scared she froze for a moment before she snapped back to reality.
