Splendid spring returns

Chapter 258: Thieves should not be so rampant
Xin Nian sighed and said to himself: Look at this mess, ugh!I don’t know when this matter will come to an end, otherwise my life would be really sad.

Even if Gu Changting gave a hint, Xin Nian was really worried about the internal and external troubles faced by the family, not to mention that she had spoken confidently in front of the old concubine. But when things came to a close, who knew whether Gu Changting could really avert danger?Because she was thinking about it, she couldn't fall asleep. She heard the sound of a bang at midnight, so she sat up, put on the quilted trousers and jacket on the bedside, and came to the yard. She happened to see Xinghua coming back. Hear her say: "I just took a look around everywhere, and everyone who went up to night is keeping to themselves. Auntie will rest for a while, and then walk around again around the fourth watch. It will gradually get brighter, and the night will be over."

Xin Nian nodded and said to Xinghua: "Just go and sleep in the Nuan Pavilion. We have to work harder these days. If you are not enough on your own, let Chunyu Sanniang and the others replace you. Once you get through this period, you will be fine."

Xinghua said: "It doesn't matter to me, but I should seriously find someone to replace my aunt..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xin Nian said decisively: "No. You don't know the behavior of those gangsters. They like to come out in the middle of the night, just because everyone is asleep at that time, and the people on night watch are also much less energetic, and many accidents happen. At this hour."

Xinghua hurriedly said: "This is at the foot of the emperor. I'm afraid those gangsters don't dare to come. Besides, it's still a prince's palace."

Xin Nian said in a deep voice: "So what? Those nobles in the past have fallen, and it is not that there are no moles who colluded with bandits. Now that the prince is imprisoned in the sky prison, our prestigious prince's palace is just a piece of fat. If If you don't protect it carefully, you will really be at the mercy of others."

Xinghua had no choice but to go to bed first.Xin Nian waited here for two-quarters of an hour, then went to take off the bright silver gun from the weapons rack. Seeing the housekeepers and ladies on duty gradually arriving, she said softly: "Okay, it's almost the fourth update, let's go again Take a look around, I would rather work harder, and when you are safe in the future, I will reward you well."

Everyone agreed and followed her out of the house, patrolling along the paths in the mansion.Halfway through, he met several guards, and Xin Nian said: "You five must keep an eye on Shouning Palace. Even if there are thieves, you must not let them scare our ancestors."

"Yes."

Several guards agreed to go, and after Xin Nian had walked through the remaining half of the place, he felt a little at ease when he saw that the women on duty everywhere were still energetic and did not gamble or drink.

The night was thick and it was the darkest time before dawn, but thinking of being able to rest for a while after returning, everyone couldn't help but walk more lightly.

Someone came up and said to Xin Nian: "My aunt is no better than us, and you can still be lazy and take a nap. You have worked too much during the day, and you are still so serious in the middle of the night. How can you survive? Why don't you leave this job to... …”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a loud shout from the front: "Who is it...?"

The scream turned into a scream. Xin Nian's heart suddenly rose to his throat, his eyes fixed on the direction of the sound, and he yelled: "Who is playing tricks over there?"

Before she finished speaking, a few figures were seen leaping past like light smoke, heading straight towards her yard and the warehouse behind the yard.

"The thief must not be rampant."

Nowadays, apart from Shouning Palace, the second most important place in the palace is Xin Nian's place. Especially tonight, almost all the female family members and children in the palace are with her, and the warehouse is the foundation for the future settlement of the prince's palace, so whether it is people or wealth, , there is no room for error.

"Quickly, ask the guards to guard Shouning Palace and Chun'ai Courtyard, and send two more to my place for support."

Xin Nian gave an order, then lifted up his body and flew towards his yard.She is a martial arts practitioner and has excellent night vision. Even though the surroundings are shrouded in thick darkness, she can still vaguely make out a few figures dozens of steps away.The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were trembling with fear, but they did not dare to go to the guards. They could only shout together and spread the words of Xin Nian's instructions.Xin Nian had no time to pay attention to them. He had just separated from the guards not long ago, and this volume could convey the news.

The main target of the thieves was Xin Nian's yard and warehouse. Although they were discovered at this time, they didn't pay much attention: anyway, there were only a few female relatives left in the palace, and there were not many guards. They were frightened by the killing. After staying, he robbed a few beauties and valuables and left. The horse was outside the house, so the guards couldn't catch up.

Because they kicked open the courtyard door one by one and entered the courtyard, they happened to meet the women and children who rushed out of the house.

The thieves' eyes lit up, and when they were about to step forward, they suddenly heard a scream from behind. Looking back, Xin Nian was holding a bright silver gun. Under the weak light of the lantern, the blood on the red tassel of the gun was low. A gangster. Lying at her feet, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

The bandits were taken aback, and Xin Nian didn't allow them to react at all. He rushed over with his bright silver gun dancing. In the dim light, a ball of gunfire exploded, and soon blood spattered out.

One of the gangsters folded his arms and screamed, running back. Fortunately, the people next to him responded in time. Otherwise, with Xin Nian's pressing momentum, he would have had to stay with the brother who rushed to the street.

"Stinky girls!"

These horse thieves were all desperadoes with strong martial arts skills and bold actions. Seeing Xin Nian's bravery, they all drew out their weapons from their waists, roared and rushed over. In the blink of an eye, they were fighting with Xin Nian.

Aunt Qin, Aunt Gu and the children all heard the mother-in-law's cry and came out to check the situation. Unexpectedly, they saw such a horrific and tragic scene. They were so frightened that they were shaking like chaff and couldn't even utter a word. .

With one against four, Xin Nian was really in danger. He finally looked at an opening and saw that everyone was still standing dumbly. He couldn't help but feel angry and anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Go back quickly, close the windows and doors."

Aunt Qin and Aunt Gu just woke up from a dream and hurriedly arranged for a few children to go in.Yaya, the sixth child, still refused, and was dragged into the house by Gu Yufeng and Gu Yushu. The girls were so frightened that their legs went weak. Aunt Qin and Aunt Gu forced two of them in, and they themselves collapsed on the ground, not caring about anything else. .

Being reminded by Xin Nian, the gangster with an injured arm jumped over. His original intention was to seize the two girls who were lagging behind and use them as hostages. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the hair of Gu Mingchun, who was last. He was dragged to his side desperately.

The next moment, before he could lift the knife, he felt a chill in his heart, and then a severe pain hit him. The gangster still couldn't believe it, and subconsciously looked down, only to see a cold light showing on his heart, and blood staining his clothes bit by bit. .

"Oh shit!"

The gangster shouted, he was a desperate man, and some were very brave. When he was about to die, he couldn't help but became ferocious. He used his last strength to raise the knife in his hand and slashed at Gu Mingchun beside him.

Gu Mingchun, a rich young lady raised in a boudoir, could not imagine such a scene let alone seeing it with her own eyes. Even if she exhausted her imagination, she was dumbfounded when she saw the blade of the knife coming towards her, and even her screams were stuck in her throat. , I can only close my eyes and wait for death.

However, the pain she expected did not come. Instead, there was a "plop" beside her. She opened her eyes and saw Xin Nian holding an arm in front of her, the blade of the blade embedded in her flesh, and blood gushing out quickly. Stain that pure white jacket.
