Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

After entering the guest room and simply finishing dinner, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed somewhat.

Recalling the heart-stopping assassination during the day, everyone was still shaken, but thinking that after such twists and turns there shouldn't be any more danger tonight, they gradually let go of their worries and eagerly lay down on the beds, wanting to sleep comfortably.

However, unlike the others, Qianqian dared not let her guard down at all. She knew well that enemies were often good at striking unexpectedly and attacking when unprepared; the safer a moment seemed, the more likely it was to hide a great crisis.

Qianqian didn't rest, immediately summoning Yue Yi and whispering: "Quickly go notify those dark guards, have them continue taking turns keeping watch tonight, absolutely no slackening! Especially this room of ours, it must be strictly guarded, not letting any clue slip by."

Yue Yi nodded in agreement, turned and left to convey the order., when Shangguan Xingyu had finished washing up and was preparing to sleep peacefully, Qianqian hurried back from outside.

After everything was properly arranged, Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Mantou carried a basin of steaming hot washing water in, carefully placing it on the table.

Qianqian gratefully glanced at Mantou, then quickly got up and walked to the basin, carefully washing her face and hands. After tidying up, she also slowly climbed onto the bed, gently blowing out the bedside candle.

In the darkness, the two lay side by side on the soft bed. Not long after, Shangguan Xingyu's even breathing beside her gradually came, obviously having fallen into a deep sleep.

But Qianqian's anxious heart could not finally settle; she stared wide-eyed, vigilantly watching the movements around her, fearing that the slightest carelessness would give the enemy an opportunity.

As expected, when the time was roughly the chou hour, all was silent, the night deep as ink. Shangguan Xingyu was then sleeping soundly on the couch, sleeping very sweetly.

But Qianqian beside her was different; Qianqian, who usually slept lightly, suddenly twitched her ears slightly, as if catching a barely perceptible sound. Listening carefully, it turned out to be a faint, slight sound entering her ears.

Qianqian instantly lost all sleepiness, alertly opening her eyes. Although the sound was slight, to her sensitive self it was unusually clear. Only hearing "click click" sounds continuously coming, and the source seemed to be exactly from the direction of the window.

Qianqian secretly thought to herself: Could it be someone wanting to sneak in at night? Thinking of this, she gently lifted the quilt, her movements as light as a feather landing, fearing to wake the sleeping Shangguan Xingyu. Next, she quietly climbed up from the bed, casually picking up a dagger placed by the pillow.

This dagger was quite notable, specially gifted to her by Fourth Brother for self-defense.

At this moment, Qianqian tightly gripped the dagger's hilt, feeling the cold touch and heavy weight, gaining some confidence in her heart. Then she tiptoed, like a nimble cat, tiptoeing slowly toward the window.

Just as she was about to approach the window, suddenly, accompanied by a "clack" light sound, the window was pushed open a crack. Immediately after, a black shadow nimbly climbed onto the windowsill. Because the sky was dim, and that black-clothed person only wanted to sneak into the room, not noticing Qianqian nearby.

As fast as words, only saw Qianqian without hesitation raise her palm, using all her strength to fiercely chop at that black-clothed person. Only hearing a "bang" muffled sound, that black-clothed person didn't even have time to let out a cry, before his eyes went black, silently falling to the ground.

The whole process happened so quickly that the night wind outside hadn't even had time to blow into the room., immediately after, a "coo coo~ coo coo~" sound suddenly came from below. Although the sound wasn't loud, in the quiet night it was especially clear.

Qianqian's heart tightened; she immediately realized this was likely the agreed-upon signal. However, at this time she didn't know how to respond to this signal.

After brief consideration, Qianqian decided to first tentatively lower her voice, similarly replying with two "coo coo~". After doing this, she nervously stared at that window, waiting to see what would happen next.

Not long after, only saw figures dressed in black begin climbing up along the window. Their movements were agile and soundless, as if they were already very familiar with such actions.

Yue Yi in the dark behaved exceptionally calm and agile; he quickly dragged the just-knocked-out black-clothed person to a corner to hide, not giving others any chance to notice.

Whenever a new black-clothed person climbed onto the windowsill, Qianqian would without hesitation strike to knock them unconscious. Then Yue Yi would do the same, dragging the unconscious enemy to the side. This cycle repeated, one black-clothed person after another being subdued while completely unprepared.

After the eighth black-clothed person was also successfully knocked out and dragged away, the whole room finally temporarily regained calm. After carefully checking and confirming there were no more uninvited guests, Qianqian said: "Tie all these people up!"

As her voice fell, Shi Er, Shi Er, and Wangchen, originally hidden in the dark, instantly flashed out. They skillfully took out ropes, quickly tying the unconscious black-clothed people tightly, ensuring they couldn't break free.

And at this very moment, Shangguan Xingyu, lying on the bed seemingly still asleep, was actually already half-awake since Qianqian got out of bed. At first, she thought Qianqian was just getting up to urinate.

But when strange sounds came from the window side, her sleepiness instantly dissipated by more than half. Although full of doubt and unease inside, she still endured without making a sound, quietly listening to everything happening in the room.

Shangguan Xingyu was very clear in her heart that she had no strength to truss a chicken; if she acted rashly, she would only bring trouble and danger to everyone.

So she obediently lay on the bed, tightly closed her eyes, pretending to still be asleep, not daring to make a sound. Listening to one muffled groan after another, nervous to the extreme

Just at this time, only heard Qianqian softly say: "Tie all these people up!" Hearing this sentence, Shangguan Xingyu, who had been anxious all along, finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the time was about right.

She carefully opened her eyes, then slowly sat up from the bed. At this time, Yue Yi had already quickly lit the candle on the table, the dim candlelight instantly illuminating the whole room.

Shangguan Xingyu casually picked up an outer garment by the bed, put it on, and got down from the bed. When she walked closer, by the faint candlelight, she saw several black-clothed people sitting against the wall with their hands and feet tightly bound, their heads weakly drooping. Shangguan Xingyu secretly thought, these people must have been knocked unconscious, right.
