353 Severely Injured
Qin Huai had followed the Madam to the temple to offer incense. Because her session with the abbot had lasted for too long and delayed them, they had no choice but to rest in the temple.
Unexpectedly, they encountered an assassination after midnight.
There were not many guards standing outside to begin with. Most of them had already fought to the death after a bloody battle.
Qin Huai’s face was also covered in blood. He could not tell if the blood belonged to the assassins or the guards.
!!
Some of Duke Yong Manor’s ordinary guards had died, and one of the Crimson Guards was dead and another was seriously injured.
Chi Jia tried his best to protect Qin Huai. He had already been stabbed in the stomach, and the wound on his leg was so deep that his bones could be seen.
“Young Master, leave quickly!” The other party came prepared and came aggressively. No matter how strong Chi Jia’s martial arts were, he could not withstand so many experts sent by the other party.
Qin Huai did not move. His hands were tucked into his sleeves, and he held a dagger in each hand.
If he retreated now, the other party would definitely not hold back to deal with Chi Jia.
He realized that the other party was not after his life.
As long as he stayed behind Chi Jia, those assassins would leave some leeway.
“Where can I go?” Qin Huai’s gaze was calm. Even in the candlelight at night, his eyes were so steady that they made one tremble.
He did not look like a seven-year-old child at all.
However, he would never accept being captured, no matter who was behind this attack.
Chi Jia turned around and his heart skipped a beat when he saw Qin Huai.
It had been a long time since he had seen the Young Master like that.
“Young Master, go and find Madam!” Chi Jia pushed the assassin in front of him away and turned to shout at Qin Huai, “Young Master, I beg you! I beg you!”
How could he not know that the Young Master was actually protecting him by staying here?
However, his mission was to protect the Young Master with his life.
Seeing that they could not defeat Chi Jia after a long time, the three assassins who were attacking him began to panic, and their actions became more and more ruthless.
After a while, Chi Jia’s shoulders and arms were injured, and his movements became more and more sluggish.
Another assassin quietly approached from the dark, wanting to capture Qin Huai when Chi Jia was unprepared.
At this moment, a huge hole was opened in the roof and someone fell from the sky.
“How dare you!” As soon as the voice rang out, the figure carrying a large saber in his hand appeared.
In a few moves, he forced the assassins back.
There was even an assassin whose leg was cut off and thrown in front of Qin Huai.
That person carried his saber on his shoulder and laughed loudly. His tone was especially arrogant. “You few trolls want to fight with this Grandpa? Go back and drink milk!”
When he turned around again, he saw Qin Huai who was wearing a thoughtful expression.
That person’s expression changed and immediately turned into flattery. “Young Master, you weren’t frightened, right?”
Qin Huai did not say a word and stepped over the bloody thigh without blinking.
He glanced at Chi Jia and walked out as well.
Chi Jia gritted his teeth and held his arm, limping as he followed.
More people rushed in from outside and captured the assassins.
It was the reinforcements that they had originally stationed at the foot of the mountain.
A group of people came to check on Qin Huai, and the other group hurriedly ran to the meditation room where the Madam was.
“Madam, are you alright? We came late. Please punish us!” A group of people knelt outside the meditation room.
After a while, the door of the meditation room opened.
A maidservant hurriedly ran towards Qin Huai and said in a low voice, “Young Master, the Madam wants to see you.”
Qin Huai was unmoved.
“The Madam is injured.” The maidservant used her internal energy to lower her voice so that only Qin Huai could hear her.
Qin Huai tightened his grip on the dagger and walked in with Chi Jia.
The maidservant wanted to stop Chi Jia, but when she thought of Qin Huai’s personality, she did not say anything.
The Madam was injured, and her injuries were not light. There was an arrow pierced into her chest, and a large amount of blood stained her clothes.
Even at night, her face was pale.
Her breathing was heavy and even.
It looked like her lifespan was coming to an end.
“Huai’er… come.” She waved at Qin Huai with great effort.
