The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Sima Zhao sat quietly in the room, saying nothing, staring ahead, as if thinking about something important.

His face was gloomy, and there was a faint worry between his brows.

There was a sneer on the secret guard's face, dissatisfied with Sima Zhao's silence.

He has been waiting for a long time, waiting for Sima Zhao to make a decision.

"Sima Zhao, what are you still hesitating about?" The secret guard finally couldn't help but break the silence.

Sima Zhao frowned slightly and sneered: "I don't know what you are talking about. My brother Sima Shi did all this."

The secret guard sneered: "Are you shirking responsibility? As a member of the Sima family, don't you have any responsibility?"

A trace of anger flashed in Sima Zhao's eyes, but he quickly controlled his emotions. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm not shirking responsibility, I'm just stating the facts. This matter really has nothing to do with me."

The secret guard looked at Sima Zhao, the disdain in his eyes becoming more and more obvious: "Sima Zhao, you should act like a man and shoulder your responsibilities."

In Sima Zhao's room, the tense atmosphere suddenly escalated.

The secret guard's eyes were cold and determined, and he decided not to be polite to Sima Zhao anymore.

"Sima Zhao, you must give me an explanation today!" the secret guard shouted angrily, and rushed towards Sima Zhao like a ghost.

A trace of surprise flashed in Sima Zhao's eyes, but he reacted quickly and dodged the first round of attacks from the secret guard.

The small space in the room made their movements cramped.

Sima Zhao nimbly shuttled between the tables and chairs, avoiding the attacks of the secret guards while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

"I said, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Sima Zhao responded loudly, grabbing a chair and throwing it towards the secret guard.

The chair drew an arc in the air, and the secret guard dodged sideways, swung the dagger in his hand and struck Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao jumped back and dodged the dagger attack. At the same time, he flew up and kicked the secret guard in the chest.

The secret guard took a few steps back, stabilized his figure, and pounced on Sima Zhao again.

The items in the room were messed up by their fight, tables and chairs were overturned, and books were scattered on the floor.

But their eyes were full of determination, as if this fight was not just a simple conflict, but a contest of wills.

"If you keep pushing me hard, don't blame me for being rude!" Sima Zhao said while displaying a set of fierce punches.

The secret guard showed no signs of weakness. His moves were insidious and cruel, and every move hit Sima Zhao's vitals.

"Okay, Sima Zhao, I didn't expect you to have practiced before."

The two of them were going back and forth, not giving in to each other, and the room was filled with the sound of fists hitting flesh and their breathing.

In this fierce fight, the secret guards gradually gained the upper hand.

He punched Sima Zhao in the abdomen. Sima Zhao grunted and took a few steps back.

In this way, Sima Zhao was finally captured by the secret guards.

As night fell, candlelight flickered in the guest room of Cao Pi's house, reflecting the figures of Yao Maoyu and Qin Feng.

Qin Feng said to Yao Maoyu with a solemn expression: "We must be more vigilant tonight. If there are no special circumstances, the secret guards will definitely come. Moreover, there may be assassins coming, so we cannot take it lightly."

Yao Maoyu nodded, clasping his hands and showing a trace of nervousness in his eyes.

"Qin Feng, do you have any plans? How should we deal with possible dangers?"

Qin Feng looked around and his eyes fell on the window.

"We first close the windows to minimize the threat from the outside. Then, stay alert and respond immediately if there is any movement."

Yao Maoyu stood up and walked to the window, slowly closing the window and observing the darkness outside the window, secretly praying that nothing would happen.

Qin Feng patted Yao Maoyu on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry too much, we will be fine."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed extremely tense, as if there was an invisible pressure.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside, like footsteps approaching. Yao Maoyu and Qin Feng were instantly alert. They looked at each other and prepared to deal with possible dangers.

The door was kicked open immediately.

Many assassins broke in.

They were wearing black night clothes, their faces were covered by black cloth, only a pair of cold eyes were revealed, revealing the slightest trace of murderous intent.

These assassins move quickly and vigorously, like well-trained killers. They were holding sharp swords, which shone coldly in the darkness, making people shudder.

Facing the assassin who suddenly broke in, Yao Maoyu turned pale with fright, his legs were weak, his eyes were full of fear, and his body was shaking involuntarily.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, looked calm and composed, with a kind of confidence and calmness in his eyes.

He pushed Yao Maoyu gently and whispered: "Hide in the corner and protect yourself. Leave this place to me."

Yao Maoyu glanced at Qin Feng gratefully, then hurriedly hid in a corner, shrinking his body into a ball as much as possible, praying that this crisis would pass as soon as possible.

Qin Feng stepped forward and met the assassins.

"You are here to die."

His steps are steady, his posture is strong, and every movement is full of strength and skill.

Upon seeing this, the assassins rushed towards Qin Feng with their swords waving.

Qin Feng ducked sideways and kicked an assassin in the abdomen.

The assassin groaned and fell to the ground.

"Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate us?" Qin Feng asked while fighting.

The assassins did not answer. They just attacked Qin Feng silently, with sharp and fierce sword skills.

Qin Feng flexibly shuttled among the assassins. Sometimes he punched, sometimes kicked, and sometimes dodged. Every movement was precise and powerful.

There was a tense atmosphere in the room, and the breathing of the assassins and the sound of knives intertwined to form a depressing melody.

As time went by, Qin Feng gradually gained the upper hand. His agility makes him elusive to assassins.

An assassin took the opportunity to slash at Qin Feng's back with a knife. Qin Feng sensed the danger and rolled sideways to avoid the fatal blow.

At the same time, he flew up and kicked the assassin to the ground.

"You are no match for me, just surrender!" Qin Feng shouted loudly.

The assassins did not give up and continued to attack Qin Feng tenaciously.

But Qin Feng resolved the attacks of the assassins one by one.

In the end, the assassins realized that they could not defeat Qin Feng and began to think about retreating.

"Want to run? It's not that easy!" Qin Feng quickly took action and caught an assassin who wanted to escape. He pushed the assassin to the ground, kneeling him in the chest.

"Say! Who sent you here?" Qin Feng's voice was majestic.

The assassin gritted his teeth and refused to answer. Qin Feng increased his strength, causing the assassin to feel a sharp pain.

And the assassin just committed suicide by talking.

The other assassins saw this and committed suicide at the same time. This scene was particularly spectacular.

Seeing that their side had finally won, Yao Maoyu hurriedly walked out of the corner.

Yao Maoyu looked at Qin Feng nervously and asked, "Are these assassins sent by Cao Pi?"

Qin Feng sneered and said firmly: "It must be so. But Cao Pi will definitely not admit it. However, now we must question him."

The two walked towards Cao Pi's room. Silence filled the courtyard, with only their footsteps echoing.

When they came to the door of Cao Pi's room, there was laughter and laughter inside.

It turned out that there were men and women doing intimate things in the room.

Yao Maoyu knocked on the door quickly, and the sound inside stopped suddenly.

"Who is he?" Cao Pi's voice came immediately.

"It's us, open the door quickly."

Then, Cao Pi quickly arranged his clothes and stood up to open the door.

"Why are you here? What's the matter?" Cao Pi said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

Qin Feng stared at Cao Pi sharply and asked, "Are those assassins sent by you?"

"What did you say? What assassin?"

Yao Maoyu then told what happened when he met the assassin in the house just now.

Cao Pi frowned and shook his head.

"How is it possible? How could I do such a thing?"

Yao Maoyu interjected: "Then why were we attacked by assassins here? This is too much of a coincidence!"

Cao Pi quickly explained: "This may be just a coincidence. Maybe these assassins have other purposes. Maybe he came to assassinate me and accidentally broke into the room. I am here to apologize to you."

Afterwards, Cao Pi bowed to the two of them.

Qin Feng sneered.

"Coincidence? Do you think we will believe it?" Cao Pi sighed helplessly.

"I really have nothing to do with this matter. Why don't you believe me? But don't worry, I will definitely investigate the matter and give you an explanation."

The two people snorted coldly and then left.

After Cao Pi returned to the room, the original happy atmosphere dissipated instantly. His face was gloomy and he didn't care to continue being intimate with the woman. He angrily scolded her and asked her to leave the room immediately.

The woman looked aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she hurriedly packed up and left.

The woman felt very aggrieved. What does this matter have to do with herself? Why do you take out your anger on yourself when you get angry?

But she was just a servant after all, so she didn't dare to say anything and had already walked out of the room in an instant.

Cao Pi sat alone by the bed and fell into deep thought.

There was unwillingness in his eyes.

It turned out that those assassins were indeed sent by him.

He naturally hates those who play Yu.

Although he knew that such an action was too obvious and might arouse suspicion from others, he still decided to do it.

There was a rage burning in his heart that could not be quelled.

He originally expected this operation to be successful, but the assassins he had high hopes for also failed.

"Damn it! These trash!" Cao Pi cursed in a low voice, clenching his fists and even digging his nails into his palms. He was extremely disappointed and angry at the performance of the Assassins.

He originally thought that these assassins were elites with high martial arts skills and should be able to complete their tasks easily. But now, they disappointed him.

Cao Pi's anger surged into his heart like a tide, and he could not accept such a failure.

Of course, he had already thought about it. If this operation failed to succeed, he decided to shift the responsibility to the assassins and make them scapegoats, claiming that they were here to assassinate him.

It seems that the secret guard's martial arts is too high. Why is there such a capable person around Xi Yu, but he has nothing?

Moreover, there are some people around Xi Yu who used to belong to his own camp, like Jia Xu, but now they are willing to sacrifice their lives for Xi Yu.

There is also Xi Zhicai, this beast, if he had known that he would betray him, he should have been killed in the first place.

After Yao Maoyu returned to the room, the anger in his heart could not be calmed down. He sat on the chair, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction and helplessness.

"This must have been done by Cao Pi! But we can't produce any evidence. We are so useless!" Yao Maoyu said angrily.

Qin Feng walked to him, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted: "Don't be angry, Maoyu. We just went to Cao Pi, and we didn't expect him to admit it easily."

Yao Maoyu sighed.

"Then what should we do now? Is this the end of it?"

Qin Feng sat down.

"We went to him just now to tell him not to think that assassinating us would be easy."

Yao Maoyu yawned.

"If you are sleepy, go to sleep first. I will wait for my accomplices here." Qin Feng said.

Of course Yao Maoyu knew that he was talking about the secret guard.

He smiled and said he would wait too.

In Sima's mansion, the secret guards beat Sima Zhao unconscious. Then, he quickly left with Sima Zhao on his back.

When walking in the yard, the servants around him were stunned, their faces were full of surprise and fear.

"What's going on?" A servant whispered to the person next to him, with a slight tremor in his voice.

"I don't know either, we don't dare to resist, just stay away!" Another servant replied nervously, moving to the side as he spoke.

Everyone ducked for fear of being involved. They lowered their heads and scurried aside, trying to stay away from the chaotic scene.

A loyal servant saw this scene and was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Late at night, on the quiet street, the secret guard hurried forward carrying Sima Zhao on his back.

Finally, he came to Cao Pi's house. The door of the mansion was closed tightly, like a sleeping giant, isolating everything inside in darkness.

The secret guard stepped forward and knocked gently on the door knocker.

The porter heard the sound and came over. When he saw the secret guard carrying Sima Zhao on his back, he had a surprised look on his face.

"who are you?"

The secret guard whispered: "I am a person close to King Xi Yu. If you have anything to do, come to my companion."

The porter frowned and shook his head.

"It's so late, so come back tomorrow. I can't let you in without Duke Cao's order."

The secret guard's eyes turned cold, and he took action instantly, knocking the concierge unconscious to the ground.

Letting him go was just out of respect. Did he still think he couldn't get in?

He stepped into the mansion.

The courtyard was quiet, with only the moonlight shining on the ground, giving it a silvery glow.

In the mansion, the silent night was broken by the footsteps of patrolling soldiers.

When the secret guard saw someone coming, he hurried forward and asked, "Which room do the two guests who came today stay in?"

However, the patrolling soldiers paid no attention to the secret guards. They stared warily at the uninvited guests in front of them.

"Who are you? How dare you break into Cao's mansion without permission!" a soldier shouted sternly.

Upon seeing this, the secret guards knew that a peaceful solution could not be achieved, so they quickly took action and started a fierce fight with the patrolling soldiers.

The secret guard is very skilled, and every move contains murderous intent.

The secret guard kicked a soldier in the chest. The soldier dodged sideways and slashed at the secret guard's leg with a knife.

The secret guard jumped to avoid the attack and punched the soldier in the head.

Upon seeing this, another soldier immediately attacked with his sword. The hidden guard dodged sideways, grabbed the soldier's sword, and stabbed him in the throat with his backhand.

Soon, all the soldiers became the targets of the secret guards.

The secret guard carried Sima Zhao on his back and continued forward.

There was silence in the house, with only the occasional croaking of frogs breaking the tranquility of the night.

Suddenly, the secret guard saw a glimmer of light coming from a room in the distance. His heart moved and he walked towards that room.

When they approached the room, Qin Feng seemed to have telepathy and quickly opened the door. When he saw the secret guard carrying Sima Zhao on his back, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I knew you would come." Qin Feng whispered.

The secret guard entered the room and Qin Feng closed the door.

Yao Maoyu looked at the secret guard and smiled at him, but the secret guard's expression was very cold. This was caused by their long-term professionalism.

The secret guard threw Sima Zhao directly to the ground.

"Has this kid already admitted that he wrote the letter?" Qin Feng couldn't help but ask.

The secret guard shook his head and told what happened in Sima Zhao's house.

"I really didn't expect that this little kid could actually do some simple martial arts."

Next, Qin Feng told the story about the two people meeting the assassin tonight.

The secret guard sneered.

"So, this Cao Pi is really bold. If he succeeds in assassinating you, he will have peace of mind. If not, he will say that the assassin went to the wrong room."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest quickly." Qin Feng couldn't help but yawned.

The secret guard went directly under the bed, and he just rested under the bed.

On the other side, Xi Yu was lying on the hard bed in the military camp, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

It was late at night, and the soldiers around him had already fallen asleep. Only his thoughts were surging like a tide.

He didn't know why, but in this silent night, he suddenly felt longing for the ladies in his heart.

Their smiles and their tenderness appeared in his mind one by one.

Xi Yu knew very well that several ladies were silently praying for his safe return.

This expectation weighed on his heart like a heavy burden.

Xi Yu secretly told himself that he must not disappoint the ladies. He wanted to fight bravely for them and for his homeland.

He wants to be their pride and make them no longer worry while waiting day and night.

At the same time, he thought of his newborn son Xi Ping'an.

I haven't given my son a proper hug yet.

When everything is over, I must enjoy family happiness with my family when I go back.

He was thinking about a few ladies now, and he didn't know if any of them sneezed at home.

Outside the camp, there were many soldiers standing guard here. (End of chapter)
