Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining was eagerly pushed to wake up just as soon as he fell asleep. A Ji Ling opened his eyes, his heart beating like a drum.

Sakurai looked anxious, and could no longer speak Da Zhou dialect in a hurry, and couldn't express what she meant, so she pulled her up and gestured outside.

Qin Yining quickly recovered to Ching Ming, hurriedly stood up, and followed Sakurai out.

Unexpectedly, when the two of them had just returned to the main hall, they heard someone approaching each other.

Qin Yining's heart tightened, and the door was afraid that he could not leave.

Sakurai obviously also knew the situation was urgent, so he pulled Qin Yining's wrist and went to the rear window, eagerly opened the window, and urged Qin Yining to open the window first.

At the same time, the front door made a bang, and it was kicked open!

A bean-like light in the house was swayed by the wind that suddenly rushed into the house. More than a dozen black-clothed masked men poured in like a tide holding a sharp knife, just to see Sakurai's back through the window.

"Chasing!" Along with the low male voice, the black-clothed masked man quickly chased to the rear window.

Sakurai grabbed Qin Yining's wrist and ran, but the people in black were much faster than a lame man and a woman, and soon chased Sakurai and Qin Yining.

Qin Yining gritted his teeth, his mind was moving fast.

With so many assassins, why didn't the people Tao Hanshan took at all react?Could all the guards in the manor be brought down?

Qin Yining immediately rebuked, "Who are you waiting for! You know who I am! If you hurt me, Prince Zhongshun will not let you go!"

She deliberately raised her voice, because she wanted to spread her voice in the middle of the night. People outside would naturally come to rescue when they heard the movement.

But who knows that Qin Yining didn't wait for any response, but the assassin headed snorted tauntingly, "You are the one who killed! Take your life!"

The assassins showed their snow blades without hesitation, and rushed forward.

Qin Yining's heart was tight, and the unprecedented crisis felt over her heart, and her hands and feet became cold.

There were no other guards beside her, only Sakurai alone, but there were 20 assassins who surrounded them.

Such a big movement here did not attract Tao Hanshan and the rest of the guards. It can be seen that there was either something wrong with those people or there were other secrets.

She was too late to think about it, and the cold blade was oncoming.

Qin Yining's eyes widened, and she reacted quickly to avoid it, but before she could move, Sakurai stood in front of her, holding the bamboo knife horizontally to resist.

Under the moonlight, the weapon's blade collided with a sound of "chiang"!

At the same time, there was another slash behind him, and Sakurai hurriedly pushed Qin Yining with his right shoulder to avoid, but his back had to face the blade.

Qin Yining did not hear Sakurai's painful cry. Seeing that the assassin's knife made a cut in Sakurai's wounded back, blood poured out at once, and the bloody air instantly filled the tip of his nose.

But Sakurai seemed to feel no pain. He held the knife in his left hand and shielded Qin Yining with a broken arm. Even though he was lame and weak, his speed was still extremely fast.

Qin Yining only saw the silver light flashing in front of him. Before he could see how he moved, he heard a few dull "puffs" when the blade pierced into the flesh. In the blink of an eye, three black assassins fell to the ground.

The encircling circle was abruptly torn apart by Sakurai, and he hurriedly led Qin Yining to fight and retreat.

His reckless aura while fighting the sword and his weird and fast posture also really had a lot of deterrence. Three assassins died, and the remaining seventeen movements hesitated for a moment.

Sakurai took this opportunity to flee to the courtyard with Qin Yining.

"Hurry up!"

Where is the assassin willing to let people go?A group of people swarmed again, this time they knew Sakurai's martial arts well, and they tried their best.

Sakurai had to protect Qin Yining while dealing with more than a dozen people. The situation was really tense.

But he didn't mean to leave Qin Yining aside on his own. He pressed his lips tightly and tightly stitched Qin Yining behind his back. The fierceness of the fight and his look like a beast made the assassin scared.

His swordsmanship is the same as that of his own person, with a terrifying force. He would rather fight to hurt himself eight hundred, but also hurt the enemy a thousand, and would rather let the opponent hurt himself and take the other's life. .

The assassins relied on a large number of people and came with a purpose. Naturally, it is not like Sakurai fighting so desperately to protect Qin Yining. Once he hesitated, he was immediately caught by the flaw, but after a few breaths In time, several more assassins fell.

Sakurai's right arm backed to protect Qin Yining step by step, her eyes sharp like birds of prey, and the tip of the bamboo knife kept dropping blood on the ground.

The assassins seemed afraid of Sakurai and dared not go forward.

Sakurai relied on his own ruthlessness, taking advantage of the assassin's hesitation, immediately led Qin Yining out of the courtyard where he was, and ran to the front yard of the manor.

"Hurry up! Don't let them run away!"

The assassin caught up again.

Qin Yining heard Sakurai's heavy breathing while running.

It was today's style of play when he took her to escape.Not only that, but he also tried his best to protect him.

He had lost too much blood and suffered a whole body injury. Today, a few new injuries have been added. The pungent bloody smell filled Qin Yining's nose, making her unable to tell what it was like.

"Let's go! Their goal is not you." Qin Yining was taken away by Sakurai, and said, "It is me that they want to kill, so many assassins, you can't beat them alone!"

Sakurai did not answer, but still protected Qin Yining to escape towards the gate of the manor, ignoring the assassin's approaching footsteps.

Qin Yining said anxiously: "They must have killed me because they were enemies of the prince. You and I met in peace. If it was the kindness of a meal, if you saved your life to save me, you have already paid off. Life is precious, you go! There is no need to accompany me to death!"

"No!" The tone was firm.

As his voice fell, he could only hear the piercing clash of weapons.

The assassin has arrived.

It is far from the gate of the manor. There are houses on the left and right sides, behind the courtyard wall, forming a blind corner. Sakurai uses himself to protect Qin Yining between the three walls, forming a barrier.

Due to the limited space in the alley, the assassins could no longer swarm them, which relieved a lot of pressure.You don't have to let Sakurai distract yourself and care about the people behind him while fighting.

But there are too many assassins.

Their martial arts are not as good as Sakurai, but they are crowded and powerful, and their physical strength is superior. Sakurai was injured. After many years of starvation and freezing, if his martial arts had 10 points, now he has only two points left. .

But he still gritted his teeth, holding Qin Yining firmly behind him in a posture of a man in charge.

With a brutal force, two more assassins died under his sword, and two new injuries were added to his shoulder and calf.

Sakurai's face was pale, and his chest rose and fell violently when he gasped heavily, but his face was firm and he still refused to give in.

He knew that if he fell, the master behind him would have no way to survive.

And the assassins seemed to be restrained by Sakurai's superb knife skills and ruthless aura, everyone hesitated for a moment, and no one dared to approach them.

There were twenty of them, and eight were killed in the blink of an eye, and none of them dared to rush forward.I had to block the alley to prevent people from escaping.

Sakurai had enough time to face off with the remaining dozen or so black-clothed masked men on his own.

Qin Yining stood in the corner, looking at Sakurai's thin back, her lower lip had been bitten and bleeding.She gradually lowered her gaze, landing on a small puddle of blood on the ground.

That is Sakurai's blood.

The assassins changed their strategy and adopted the tactic of wheel warfare, intending to consume Sakurai to death.Although Sakurai was gradually losing strength, he still refused to give in. With his swift knife skills, he killed six more in close combat.

For a while, the corpses of black assassins were lying on the ground in the narrow alley.

The remaining six assassins dared not come forward easily.

And Sakurai's clothes had been chopped into messy cloth strips, the bloody wounds were turned outwards, and the blood fell to the ground, but he still refused to escape by himself.

Qin Yining's eyes were red and her heartbeat was fierce.

Sakurai could not understand the people, thinking that the people were going to kill her, took her out, and took her to escape, but now he refuses to abandon her, almost completely wounded.

Regardless of whether his actions will cause her misunderstanding and trouble, being alone, in order to protect her, he would rather give his life. Such loyalty and affection are enough to move anyone with a conscience.

Qin Yining thought in a daze. No wonder this person is called "Silly Cry." He is really stupid. He has his persistence. The weight of kindness and loyalty in his heart is higher than his life, so he was It was only after being betrayed by Wang Dashan that she was devastated, so she just gave him food and treated him a little better, so he took care of her life...

Qin Yining only hated that she had no martial arts at this time, and couldn't help at all.

The only thing she can do is stay in the corner silently, not distracting Sakurai, not letting Sakurai's blood flow, and watching Sakurai drag a crippled arm and a useless leg, covered with wounds. Fighting hard with the assassin, he continued to use his body to build a solid wall for her.

But with this self-knowledge, she can only watch her friend get hurt by a single blow...

There was a flash of silver light, and two more assassins were cut through their throats.

But before Sakurai reacted, another assassin's knife was approaching.

"Be careful!"

Sakurai had lost too much blood and was already weak. The earphones buzzed and the world in his eyes was blurred. He couldn't avoid it when he was exhausted and was stabbed in the abdomen.

"Pouch" a muffled sound.

Qin Yining watched as the tip of the knife penetrated Sakurai's thin back.

Sakurai chopped off the assassin's arm with his backhand and inserted a bamboo knife into the man's heart.Then he knelt slowly while shaking his body, and the blood quickly gathered under his feet.

Qin Yining couldn't care about the others anymore, staggering forward to support his arm: "Sakurai!"
