C109 (2/2)

The man shook his head and kneeled on the ground, not daring to get up. ”This servant asked the local people, saying that the Wuli Herba only sprouted after the initial snow.”

”Beginning snow?” Zhao Jie frowned, ”Then we still have to wait.”

He turned his gaze outside the window. The servants in the manor were currently holding lamps, and the lanterns in the courtyard were sparsely lit. The warm flames of the candles caused the sky to darken even more.

It was just winter now, and the initial snow would take at least one or two months. Zhao Jie wouldn't be able to wait that long.

This Xin Ning was both cold and fatigued, and he planned to leave in two days.

However, the Wuli Herba could not be found, so how could he go back …

In the Cloud Rain Great Hall, a maid came in with a light. Just as she opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew past.

The servants and Attendant s in the room, for some reason, were all confused by the sand, their eyes blinked wildly, and at the instant that their vision turned black, their necks were hit, causing them to fall down.

Jin Xiaolou heard the noise and suddenly opened her eyes.

The maidservant who had pressed her hands and feet had already laid on the ground, and the candle had been extinguished.

She pushed the pot away, and the rat squeaked and scuttled off.

Jin Xiaolou touched his stomach, there was a small hole in her clothes, luckily, his stomach was fine, if she was bitten by a mouse, under these sanitary conditions, if she did not get bitten to death, she would probably get plague and rabies.

She picked up her clothes and put them on before calling out, ”Who is it?”

No one replied for a long time.

After walking a distance, Jin Xiaolou opened her mouth again: ”Thank you for saving me.”

Then, he hurried out of the room and headed outside.

The door opened, and Zhao Jie walked out gloomily.

Annoyed that he still had a month or two to spend in this crappy place, he began to walk back to the courtyard, not knowing where Golden Fragrance was.

Who knew that the moment he turned around and entered the Moon's Passage Gate, two men in black came out from the bamboo forest outside, holding a long sword.

The shiny sword emitted cold qi, flying straight towards Zhao Jie's throat.

The Attendant behind Zhao Jie rushed forward, raising his arms to block the two sharp swords. With a crack, the sword was broken. It was actually a high-quality green steel sword.

Attendant raised his eyebrows and shook his arms.

His sleeves were tightly covered in fine copper clothes. Against two small thieves, it was simply a waste of resources.

Zhao Jie sneered from behind Attendant: ”Just you guys, trying to sneak an attack on me, you've truly gotten tired of living. Chang Meng, kill them. ”

Before he finished speaking, four more people jumped down from the wall behind him with swords in their hands.

Chang Meng frowned, he protected Zhao Jie behind him and pulled out the iron whip on his waist with one hand, while waving his other hand.

The chilly wind actually caused these assassins to be unable to get close.

Chang Meng took out his whistle with his other hand and blew twice.

A clear whistle came from far away, but after a while, the ones who came were not the secret guards following Zhao Jie, but the sound of four weapons clashing not far away.

In the study room, Justice took Golden Fragrance's prescription and looked at it again and again. After a long while, he finally nodded and said, ”Fine, I accept you as my adopted daughter.”

Golden Fragrance was overjoyed. She didn't expect that it would be so easy to be righteous and take her as an adopted daughter.

From today onwards, she was no longer a servant, but the young miss of the estate.

Although she was only an adopted daughter, she was still going to enter the ancestral hall.

Golden Fragrance had not been this happy in a long time. Just as she was about to kneel down and greet her father, the door to the study was knocked open.

Xing Sen was frightened out of his wits. ”This is bad, old master. Young Master Huang, Young Master Huang was assassinated …”

Before he could finish, He Zheng and Justice stood up in shock. They threw away the prescriptions in their hands and ran into the yard.

It was a mess outside. The women were screaming everywhere. Some of the men in black came over from all directions with weapons in their hands.

When Golden Fragrance rushed over, she saw Zhao Jie with his swords in a mess, her heart was in her throat.

”Protect the Young Master Huang, you must protect the Young Master Huang well!” He and Justice were sweating profusely from anxiety, desperately trying to escape into the sword rain.

But he was stopped by Meng Guangmei: ”Old master! Are you tired of living?! ”

His feet were stained with bright red blood, and he even had broken limbs and wreckage.

Meng Guangmei had never seen such a scene before. Her legs were too weak, so she pulled on justice and wanted to go inside the house.

and Justice flung Meng Guangmei's hand away, ”Do you know who the Young Master Huang is? If he loses his life, then our whole family will not live! ”
