Chapter 555

"Who is it?"

A sharp-eyed servant of the Cui family heard the movement and looked at where the shadows were.

But the next second, the sword light flashed, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

"There are assassins!"

Some servants of the Cui family also noticed the movement, and shouts suddenly pierced the night.

Cui Xinghe's face was ugly.

Is the Great Chu mission a bunch of pigs?

They really came to kill him!

"Looking for death!"

The leading assassin looked cold, a smile curling on his lips, and he walked toward the servant who had shouted with his big sword in hand.

But the next second, he was stunned.

Inside the Cui family residence, in some unseen shadows.

Palace Imperial Guards in battle armor walked out, holding military crossbows and big swords. They aimed at where the assassins were, their expressions cold.

"Military crossbows—could this be... palace Imperial Guards!"

The leading assassin's face suddenly turned ugly.

Except for the army, who would dare to harbor military crossbows? That is a crime of rebellion. So there is only one possibility: these people were sent by the Empress!

The Cui family residence actually had a batch of palace Imperial Guards specifically protecting it!

Originally, the leading assassin still didn't believe that Cui Xinghe was the Great Qian number one poisonous strategist; after all, this possibility was too shocking. But now, he dared to be one hundred percent sure that Cui Xinghe was the Great Qian number one poisonous strategist!

This person is too cunning!

"Retreat!"

"There is an ambush!!!"

The leading assassin shouted loudly, as if facing a great enemy.

Li Long took the lead and said coldly.

"Slaughter them all, leave no one alive!"

"Kill!"

He didn't expect that someone would really come to kill Cui Xinghe.

It's truly hellish!

Following Li Long's order.

Immediately, the Imperial Guards ruthlessly pulled the triggers of the crossbows. Crossbow arrows like death gods covered these assassins. Some unlucky ones were directly pierced by the arrows and fell to the ground!

And following the sound, the Imperial Guards who had been lying in ambush outside the Cui family residence also blocked the retreat of these assassins and began a ruthless pursuit!

Inside the house.

"Fortunately, the Empress also anticipated Gao Yang's sinister intentions and, out of compassion, protected the Cui family. Otherwise, even if we didn't die today, we would have lost a layer of skin!"

Cui Jian said with lingering fear, his face extremely ugly.

Gao Yang's move was too ruthless!

But hearing Cui Jian's words, Cui Xinghe looked at the Imperial Guards outside who were making a huge commotion, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The Empress felt compassion?"

Cui Xinghe shook his head and didn't speak.

He didn't see it that way.

In the eyes of Great Chu, this scapegoat was truly pinned on him!

Shame!

Too shameful!

Even in the Empress's heart, he had become Gao Yang's substitute and abandoned piece. For the proud Cui Xinghe, this was simply something he couldn't endure!

He must come up with one or two world-shaking strategies!

Otherwise, he would really become a scapegoat specifically for Gao Yang.

Gao Yang enjoys the fame and benefits alone, while Cui Xinghe bears all the retaliation and blame!

Just thinking about it makes one want to die!
