C5 Assassin Attack

This way, things would become much more troublesome. That was why Cui Wei had signaled Zhao Lee to retreat and let Zhao Lee cover for them.

Although Zhao Lee and Cui Wei were alone and weak, they had a tacit understanding. Furthermore, Shao Moli had carefully chosen them to protect Sikou Nianxi. After a fight, they were actually on par with this group of assassins in a short period of time.

With Zhao Lee's cover, Cui Wei quickly approached the door of Sikou Nianxi's room and rushed in.

"Miss, are you okay?" Cui Wei looked at Sikou Nianxi in surprise. Originally Cui Wei thought that Sikou Nianxi must have been drugged and fainted, but she did not expect Sikou Nianxi to be completely fine. This was completely out of Cui Wei's expectations.

Sikou Nianxi smiled lightly at Cui Wei. After learning medicine from her master for so many years, how could she not even be able to pay for a mere bewitching fragrance? If that was the case, her master would probably kick her away to avoid losing his face when he went out!

However, now was not the time to explain these things. Sikou Nianxi could not be affected by the Ecstasy Incense but this did not mean that she knew martial arts and could deal with the assassins outside!

Seeing this, Cui Wei let go of the surprise in her heart and quickly pulled Sikou Nianxi's hand, "Miss, there are too many assassins outside, let's retreat first!"

The assassin who followed closely was kicked to the ground by Cui Wei's whirlwind kick. Cui Wei pulled Sikou Nianxi to open the window of the inn and jumped down.

Sikou Nianxi tightly shut her eyes and felt a gust of wind blow past her and her feet were already on the ground. Before she could react, Cui Wei had already exchanged blows with the assassin guarding outside the inn.

Most of the assassins had just been attracted by the fight in the inn and there were not many assassins downstairs at the moment. Cui Wei quickly dealt with the assassin and brought Sikou Nianxi away from the area of Spring Creek Inn.

"Miss, you are familiar with this place. Is there anywhere we can hide temporarily?" After leading Sikou Nianxi around a few alleys and completely shaking off the assassins behind her, Cui Wei stopped and asked.

Sikou Nianxi thought about it and gritted her teeth, "Come with me!"

As she said that, Sikou Nianxi quickly ran towards the direction of Si Kou Manor and very quickly brought Cui Wei to the front door of Si Kou Manor.

"This is?" Looking at the Si Kou Manor, Cui Wei was somewhat puzzled. Didn't Sikou Nianxi's parents die and there was no place to stay in this place? Why did she bring her to such a big family at this moment? Could she have run to someone else's house?

The dark sky covered the ruined Si Kou Manor very well and actually caused such a misunderstanding to Cui Wei.

Sikou Nianxi did not answer Cui Wei's words and walked forward. She reached out her hand and pushed the door open with a creak.

"There should not be assassins chasing after us in this place!" Sikou Nianxi raised her head and stared at the broken plaque of Si Kou Manor. Even if there was not a trace of light at the moment and the words on the plaque could not be seen, Sikou Nianxi's mind could clearly outline the three words "Si Kou Manor" and the spider web around the plaque...

"Go in!" After Sikou Nianxi left this sentence, she took the lead and walked inside.

Seeing that, Cui Wei quickly followed.

"This..." After stepping into the main door of Si Kou Manor, there was wild grass that could not be covered by the night. Cui Wei finally did not suspect that Sikou Nianxi brought her to someone else's house. This place... Clearly, no one had stayed for a long time!

"There has been no one living here for eight years. That's why weeds are everywhere!" Sikou Nianxi sighed softly at the side and then walked into the front hall. She took out the oil lamp from her memory and lit it up.

This place was once her warmest home. Now that her family's graves were here, even if this place was stained with blood, it was unable to make Sikou Nianxi feel disgust or fear towards this place.

If possible, Sikou Nianxi really did not want to bring any outsiders to this place. But now, Sikou Nianxi had no other choice. Zhao Lee and Cui Wei protected her along the way. Even if they did not think about her safety, Sikou Nianxi also had to think about their safety.

"This is your home?" Cui Wei looked at Sikou Nianxi's practiced manner and suddenly understood.

"En!" Sikou Nianxi lightly replied and nodded, "You should have a way to contact Zhao Lee, right?"

"I left some clues along the way. He will find it himself." Cui Wei nodded. Zhao Lee was no match for a mere assassin in the martial arts world. It should not be a problem for him to escape alone. Therefore, she was not worried about Zhao Lee's safety at all. Sikou Nianxi also felt relieved when she saw that Cui Wei was not worried at all.

"Since that's the case, let's clean up a few rooms tonight and make do with resting for the night." As she spoke, Sikou Nianxi walked towards the living room of the east room with the oil lamp in her hand.

"Miss, let this subordinate clean up the room!" Cui Wei followed closely and came to the living room of the east wing.

When she was young, she lived in the living room of the east wing. Her brother Sikou Zhongyu lived in the living room of the west wing. As a result, the bedrooms on both sides of the living room of the east wing did not change.

Sikou Nianxi did not object when she heard that. She only lit the oil lamp in the room and placed it on the table.

Under the dim yellow light, the tattered Si Kou Manor appeared even more desolate. The prosperity of Xiyue Manor had long ceased. Time was always so cruel. In just a few years, the warm and happy home in his memories had actually become a nightmare that he could not touch.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in through the gap in the door. Sikou Nianxi shivered. Subconsciously, she hugged herself tighter. Seeing this, Cui Wei quickly took out a coat from the luggage she carried with her. She walked to Sikou Nianxi's side and gently put it on for her. "Miss, Although it is not yet late autumn, the night is much deeper. The chill is still a little scary. Miss must be more careful. In case you catch a cold. "

"Okay." Sikou Nianxi nodded lightly and pulled her coat closer to her body. "Cui Wei, you are considerate." Cui Wei smiled. "Miss, what are you talking about? Before leaving, Young Master Shao reminded me to take good care of you. These things are what we should do. Miss, you don't have to worry. "

Sikou Nianxi felt a little apologetic when Shao Moli was mentioned. It was not that she did not know what Shao Moli was thinking about her, nor did she not know what he had done for her in the past few years. However, Sikou Nianxi could not respond to this feeling. In her heart, Shao Moli was just an elder brother who took care of her.

Love was so unreasonable. It was not something that could be rewarded with as much effort as it cost. Before she could think of a way to deal with Shao Moli's feelings for her, she inexplicably became Leng Shaoyuan's concubine, making her unable to stay in the capital. Thinking of this, Sikou Nianxi could not help shaking her head with a bitter smile.
