C278 (1/2)
Halfway through the banquet, everyone was in high spirits.
The courtyard was filled with a peaceful and lively scene. Ning Yunquan drank a little too much and began to talk loudly. However, at this moment, everyone let go and no one paid attention to the details.
No matter how one looked at it, it was a happy scene. For a moment, they could not see the feeling of being in a storm.
Servants continued to bring wine and food to the banquet, and a troupe was formed on the west side. Ye Jinsu surveyed her surroundings, trying to find any suspicious people. This was the best time. She didn't believe that those people would let go.
As expected, Ye Jinsu's gaze fell on two or three people who were carrying glasses of wine to her side.
Ye Jinsu remembered that it wasn't these three faces that had brought the wine in at the beginning.
”It's those three people.” Ning Yunyin suddenly whispered into Ye Jinsu's ear, reminding her in a soft voice, ”You have to protect yourself in a bit.”
Ye Jinsu raised her eyebrows and patted the flexible sword on her waist. She had carried this sword with her almost every day and had never left her side.
”Don't worry, you can't lose your life by teaching them.”
Ning Yun smiled. She couldn't help but lower her head and rub it against her ear for a while before speaking in a low voice, ”Naturally, what I taught is the best.”
Ye Jinsu shrank back a little as he was not used to the sudden intimacy Ning Yun had towards him.
However, before Ye Jinxiu could push him away, Ning Yunyin had already hugged her and had taken the opportunity to spin around a few rounds with her. A shout of surprise and the sound of swords could be heard from behind him. The three wine bearers had just pulled out their swords in an instant.
Quite a number of people beside him also took out their swords and sabers.
At first glance, there were more than ten people.
Ning Yunyin carried Ye Jinsu and retreated to the back of the group. In the instant that the incident had occurred, she had brought her with her to escape from danger.
That group of people were heading in the direction of the Grand Princess. Their target was their young royal grandson.
Ye Jinsu opened her eyes wide in shock. However, before she could do anything, the hidden guards all appeared. The Grand Princess and her children were instantly protected, retreating outside.
The situation was in chaos. The elites that were lying in ambush outside the manor and the secret guards inside the manor were all engaged in a fight with the assassins.
General Qi, who had come to attend the banquet, was currently protecting the Grand Princess as she retreated.
Very quickly, the dozen or so people began to have a disadvantage. Seeing that this matter was about to be suppressed, a man who had been fighting among the sharp soldiers suddenly chopped at his companion with a blade.
The situation became chaotic once again.
Now, Ning Yunqi's men were at a disadvantage.
There were still quite a few people heading straight for the Grand Princess. Ye Jinsu's heart clenched as she pulled Ning Yunyin along and asked in a low voice, ”Will the Grand Princess be in danger?”
The Grand Princess remained calm, but the three children were already crying in fear.
Ning Yunxiao slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixated on the scene before him, not wanting to let a single strand of it slip by.
Seeing that he didn't make a move for a long time, Ye Jinsu knew that he wasn't going to do anything.
But what about the child?
Ye Jinsu pursed her lips. General Qi had already started fighting with that group of people. The Grand Princess was led out of the side path by someone. If he walked out from there, he would completely lose sight of everyone. Ye Jinsu nervously looked around and actually saw someone sneaking around.
Ye Jinsu's face tightened, she wanted to tell Ning Yun to retract his hand.
Ning Yunyin had obviously noticed it a step earlier than Ning Xuemo. He let go of Ye Jinsu and said in a deep voice, ”Wait here.”
With that, Ning Yunyin turned and left.
How could Ye Jinsu wait here?
Follow him, of course.
