241 Brother Ting Takes Action (2)
After leaving Qin Canglan’s courtyard, Su Xiaoxiao encountered some trouble. Since the Protector Duke’s Estate strengthened its guard, she could not leave.
She still could not understand why the Protector Duke’s Estate suddenly became more vigilant. Could it be that they had guessed that someone would come to spy on them tonight?
Or did something happen that she didn’t know about? Was she unlucky to have bumped into it?
She remembered that the vendor who had poisoned the Old Marquis was dead.
The peddler’s lover was from the Protector Duke’s Estate. In that case, the other party might have guessed that something had happened to Xiangzi and that they had probably been exposed. They would have expected people from the Marquis of Zhenbei to come to investigate secretly tonight…
“In that case, it’s not strange for them to strengthen their defenses.”
Su Xiaoxiao found a relatively quiet corner, tugged at her gloves, and easily crossed the wall.
As soon as she landed, a swift arrow flew over.
She caught it with her bare hands and handsomely held the cold arrowhead.
The guard who shot at her was stunned.
Did this… fat assassin actually grab the arrowhead with her bare hands?
One had to know that the arrowhead was very sharp.
Su Xiaoxiao turned around and threw the arrow at the guard.
The guard was shocked and hurriedly used his bow to block.
He was forced to take a few steps back!
What terrifying strength!
He shouted with a solemn expression, “Guards! There’s an assassin!”
The guards of the Protector Duke’s Estate rushed over and surrounded Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t waste her breath on anyone. She rolled up her sleeves and started working.
Her body was much more agile than before. Every time the guard seemed to want to grab her, she would slip away from his palm like a loach.
However, it was difficult for two fists to fight four hands. The disadvantage in numbers exhausted Su Xiaoxiao’s stamina.
Three guards sealed her front, left, and right. Another guard ambushed her from behind.
In the blink of an eye, a hidden weapon shot over and hit the guard’s wrist. The guard screamed and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. Su Xiaoxiao backhanded him and sent him flying like a sandbag.
The person who helped Su Xiaoxiao out was another man in black. He didn’t fight with the other party for long. He brought Su Xiaoxiao into the air and disappeared into the endless night.
“Chase!”
There were cavalry guards in the Protector Duke’s Estate. They spurred their horses and chased after the two of them.
“Su Mo?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The man in black paused in surprise and nodded. “Yes.”
“Why are you here?” Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
Su Mo said coldly, “I should be the one asking you that.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Just talk. Don’t slow down. Continue.”
Su Mo hesitated. He wanted to ask the other party, “Why do you think I slowed down?”
The Protector Duke’s Estate had the most elite cavalry of the Great Zhou. They were divided into three groups. One group of cavalry chased after Su Mo and Su Xiaoxiao, and the other two groups took a detour to outflank them.
Su Xiaoxiao looked back from the eaves. “Oh, there’s still a strategy.”
Su Mo said calmly, “Do you think Qin Canglan brought out the cavalry?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Oh, is Qin Canglan very powerful?”
Su Mo asked curiously, “Shouldn’t you call him grandfather?”
Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “I didn’t acknowledge him.”
Su Mo trembled and almost fell from midair. “Don’t move!”
Su Xiaoxiao retracted her hand obediently. “Okay.”
She moved again!
Su Mo was speechless.
The advantage of cavalry was that they were fast, but their disadvantage was also quite obvious. For example, they could not enter narrow places.
Su Mo abandoned the street and flew over the roofs of the rows of houses.
“They shouldn’t have chased after us.”
With that, Su Mo brought Su Xiaoxiao to a house with closed doors and windows.
He glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. “Are you alright?”
“I’m alright.” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.
This girl’s physique was really good. If it were anyone else, they would have vomited.
Su Mo looked around and narrowed his eyes. “They should be guarding the nearby exit. I’ll lure them away later. Walk forward from the east. Someone will receive you there.”
“Okay,” Su Xiaoxiao agreed.
Su Mo was stunned again.
Shouldn’t she be polite and ask, “What will you do if I leave?”
Despite his surprise, he did not need this girl to be polite; he really wanted her to escape.
However, this girl’s reaction… was really too different.
This was the first time he had met someone so straightforward. He was not used to it.
Su Mo coughed lightly. “Alright, be careful. If you’re caught, just push it on me.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded in a second. “Okay!”
Su Mo was speechless.
Forget it. This was good too. It would be easier.
