242 Brother Ting Takes Action (2)
If he really encountered those crying and indecisive people, it would easily ruin things.
He turned to leave, but he was too late.
The cavalry of the Protector Duke’s Estate had actually taken a small path and entered!
People came from both sides and it was impossible to lure them away.
Seeing that a fierce battle was inevitable, the courtyard door behind the two of them suddenly opened. A slender jade-like hand grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s wrist and pulled her in!
Su Mo’s expression changed. He drew his sword and rushed into the courtyard…
Clang!
The courtyard door was closed.
In the night, a handsome figure stood beside Su Xiaoxiao and held her wrist openly.
Su Mo’s gaze turned cold. He looked up and his gaze landed on that familiar handsome face.
“Wei Ting?”
Su Mo was shocked.
“Let go of …”
Before he could say the word ‘cousin’, there was the sound of hurried hooves outside the door.
The cavalry of the Protector Duke’s Estate stopped at the door.
Wei Ting looked at the closed courtyard door indifferently and gently rubbed the back of Su Xiaoxiao’s hand with his fingertips, as if he was silently comforting her.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked.
Wei Ting let go of her hand and gave Su Mo a look.
Su Mo frowned and moved aside, blocking Su Xiaoxiao behind him.
Wei Ting swaggered out. The courtyard door was open, perfectly covering the two of them.
The cavalry was already prepared to get off the horse and charge in. When they saw Wei Ting, they paused again.
Wei Ting was the youngest son of the Wei family and had a noble status. Not everyone had the chance to see his true appearance.
But coincidentally, these cavalrymen were all lucky to have seen him during the royal hunt.
The leader’s surname was Feng.
Guard Feng did not dismount or get on the horse. He maintained a neither up nor down posture.
After a long time, he still came down.
Because if he didn’t come down himself, this master would definitely beat him down.
Wait, didn’t this master go to the temple to be a monk?
Guard Feng cupped his hands as usual. “I didn’t know that Lord Wei had returned to the capital. Sorry for not welcoming you.”
Wei Ting sneered. “Do you think you’re qualified to welcome me?”
Guard Feng was speechless.
Wei Ting said sarcastically, “In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, you came to block my courtyard. Why? The Duke Protector’s Estate can’t sit still anymore. Are you going to assassinate me in the middle of the night?”
Look at this hat!
Guard Feng did not dare to cause trouble for his master and hurriedly cupped his hands. “I don’t dare. It’s just a misunderstanding.”
Wei Ting pointed at the cavalry behind him. “Then tell me, what’s going on?”
Guard Feng said, “I’m… chasing two assassins.”
Wei Ting looked shocked. “So you suspect that I’m an assassin?”
Guard Feng replied tentatively, “No…”
Guard Feng wanted to say, “I doubt it, but can you not say that?”
Wei Ting chuckled. “Then you suspect that I’m hiding assassins? Sure, just come in and search!”
As he spoke, Wei Ting turned around and said mockingly to the courtyard.
“Lai Fu, go to the palace and tell His Majesty that I’m back, but someone is unhappy that I returned to the capital. They came to my private residence in the middle of the night in the name of capturing the assassin and gave me a big show of strength!”
Su Mo looked around. Where was Lai fu?
Su Xiaoxiao pinched Su Mo.
Su Mo pulled his throat unwillingly. “Yes… I’ll go now…”
“There’s no need!” Guard Feng hurriedly said, “We made a mistake!”
Guard Feng left with his subordinates.
A cavalryman asked in confusion, “Brother Feng, are we leaving just like that? Aren’t we going in to search? What if the assassin is really hiding inside?”
His words were not baseless.
The Wei family and the Qin and Su families were enemies, to begin with. Perhaps the assassin tonight was sent by Wei Ting!
“No,” Guard Feng said thoughtfully. “Anyone would cover up for the assassin tonight. The Wei family won’t.”
The cavalry of the Protector Duke’s Estate left.
Wei Ting returned to the courtyard.
Su Mo took out his sword and swung it at Wei Ting’s neck.
...
Su Xiaoxiao took a step forward, pulled out the dagger at her waist, and broke Su Mo’s sword!
In order not to expose his identity, Su Mo naturally wouldn’t carry his exclusive sword. He used an ordinary sword bought from the market.
However, it was still very hard. Yet, it was actually cut off by this little girl?
What was even more surprising was how protective the little girl was of Wei Ting.
That dagger that could cut iron like mud…
Su Mo’s pupils dilated.
Wasn’t this Old General Wei’s weapon?
Wei Ting actually gave it to this girl?
“You…” Su Mo composed himself. “What’s your relationship?”
Wei Ting said with a faint smile, “We’re husband and wife. If you don’t believe me, ask her.”
