Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

The wind blew and the bamboo forest rustled, blocking out all sounds.

Xie Yan stood at a high place, with a cold look on his fair and handsome face.

Seeing this scene, the two brothers Yue Rong and Yue Ming looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

After a while, the secret guard who went to the front to inquire about the news came back and said hoarsely: "There are many guards inside and outside the main courtyard. It is not easy to enter quietly."

A cold look flashed across Xie Yan's eyes, and veins appeared on the hand holding the sword hilt.

Yue Rong couldn't help but suggested: "Master, what we have brought are experts who can fight one against ten. If we break in by force, it might not be impossible..."

When the big hand with distinct joints was raised upward, Yue Rong closed his mouth uneasily.

He looked at Xie Yan, full of things to say.

"Don't make unnecessary sacrifices." Xie Yan said coldly, "Wait until nightfall before proceeding."

Yue Rong suddenly realized it and hurriedly retreated into the bamboo forest beside him.

At this moment, a burst of noise came from the front yard.

"There's an assassin!"

Hearing this, Xie Yan stood still where he was.

Yue Rong's expression changed drastically and he reminded: "Master, the county lord is still in the front yard!"

"There is someone protecting her, don't worry, just do your part." Xie Yan's voice was cold, as if he didn't care about Gu Ning's life or death.

Yue Rong was pinched hard by Yue Ming, and he shut his mouth.

At this time, in the front yard, dozens of men in black with high martial arts skills jumped down from the high wall. They were dressed in black, which made them particularly conspicuous in the daytime.

As soon as these people appeared, there was a lot of screaming in the front yard.

Gu Ning hid behind Chunyu, seeming extremely uneasy and screaming.

Chunyu and the man in black were going back and forth, with a delicate little face tightly protecting Gu Ning behind her.

And these men in black, without exception, all attacked Gu Ning.

They came menacingly, their eyes were extremely fierce, as if they were going to tear Gu Ning into pieces in the next moment.

When everyone saw this, they were all panicked.

The original old lady was surrounded by a group of servants. Seeing this scene, she shouted: "Protect the county lord! Don't let the county lord make any mistakes!"

If something happens to the Changning County Lord in the original family, the cavalry led by the eldest princess will be able to attack the Pingyuan family in the next moment, and their original family's century-old foundation will be destroyed in one day!

The more she thought about it, the old lady wanted to take her own life.

Chunyu protected Gu Ning and "cleverly" blocked those sword blades.

"County Lord, if you do this, can you really attract other guards from the original family?"

Gu Ning leaned close to Chunyu in "panic" and whispered: "Of course it can, look at the appearance of Mrs. Yuan!"

Chunyu glanced at the old lady.

Just as Gu Ning said, Mrs. Yuan was in a state of chaos at this time.

She grabbed a guard tightly and said through gritted teeth: "At such a critical moment, why don't we quickly mobilize all the guards in the mansion!"

"But the master of the house ordered..."

"Tell that unfilial son! If anything happens to the Lord of Changning County, he will keep that pile of money and go underground to use it!"

There was no gentle expression on her kind face anymore, and she stared at the guards majestically.

Hearing this, the guards quickly ran to the original head of the family.

Gu Ning's bun was messy, and there were blood stains on her cheeks.

Mrs. Yuan looked at this scene, clutching her chest, her heartbeat almost stopped.

"County Lord!" Chunyu blocked a sword that was thrust towards Gu Ning with her body. Blood stained her clothes on her shoulder blades.

The master and servant were in a very embarrassed state, and more and more men in black were surrounding them.

Fortunately, a large number of guards poured in from the courtyard gate, which alleviated the current crisis.

Gu Ning's eyes flashed slightly: "Are all the guards of the Yuan family here?"

"Nine times out of ten." Chunyu said softly, "I have sent someone to inquire before. Under the banner of protecting Mrs. Yuan, the Yuan family has twice as many guards as other aristocratic families. However, the imperial court has ordered that they

There should be no more than 200 guards in the mansion, and there are assassins sent by us to every place where guests are entertained. The guards sent by the original head of the family now can only be the people who guarded the main courtyard before."

"That's good." Gu Ning nodded with satisfaction, feeling very happy.

Seeing her smiling face, Chunyu asked boldly: "County Master, you have done so much for Guard Xie, are you serious about not telling him?"

"The mountain man has his own clever plan." Gu Ning winked at Chunyu, leaned close to her, and said softly, "You just need to remember to cooperate with me."

Seeing the smile in Gu Ning's eyes, Chunyu's heart trembled, and an ominous premonition filled her heart at this moment.

At that time, in the bamboo forest outside the main courtyard.

Yue Rong stared dumbfoundedly at the tightly guarded guards retreating like a tide, and opened his mouth wide: "Master, are they trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"

"Perhaps the situation in the front yard is critical." Xie Yan's handsome face was still extremely indifferent, "You come in with me, and the others are waiting outside."

Yue Ming said anxiously: "Master, let me go down!"

"The secret room of the original family's study used the Qimen Dunjia technique. You can't tell where the mechanism is." Xie Yan said solemnly, "Now that the guards are restrained in the front yard, it is a good time to take action."

Before Yue Ming could answer, Xie Yan had already jumped onto the wall of the main courtyard.

Yue Rong followed closely behind Xie Yan.

Seeing this scene, Yue Ming could only sigh and led his people to guard outside the woods, always paying attention to what was going on outside.

There was nothing special about the original study room. When Yue Rong entered it, he walked around like a headless fly without noticing anything unusual.

Xie Yan landed quietly in the study room, just glanced around the room, and then held the vase on the desk.

The vase was motionless, as if it was nailed to the desk.

Yue Ming's eyes shone: "Is this the mechanism?"

Xie Yan did not answer, but slowly turned the vase.

With a "rumbling" sound, the bookshelf split into two and moved to both sides, revealing a dark secret room.

"That's it." Xie Yan raised his thin lips and looked directly at the secret room with his cold eyes.

…

In the front yard, there are more and more guards.

The face of Yuan Chongshan, the head of the Yuan family, was gloomy. The guard wanted to protect him behind him, but he pushed him away with one hand.

"Something's wrong!"

Yuan Chongshan's voice was hoarse, and the uneasiness lingering in his heart reached its peak at this moment.

These assassins came with great force, but they did not hurt anyone. They were said to be aiming at the Lord of Changning County, but after so long, they failed to break through the protection of the ordinary guards.

All kinds of things...

Yuan Chongshan felt like his heart was being pinched by a pair of big hands, making him almost breathless.

"Everyone go back!" He ordered through gritted teeth, "Follow me to the study!"

However, the guards were entangled by the assassins and could not escape at all.

Yuan Chongshan gritted his teeth and prepared to go to the study. Unexpectedly, the aunt beside him grabbed him tightly and said in fear: "Master, you can't go into danger alone!"

"Stupid woman!" Yuan Chongshan shook off her hand and strode towards the study.

No one knows the importance of those things better than him. If those things are seen by others, the Yuan and Ling families may be destroyed along with Jiang Zhizhou!

Thinking of this, Yuan Chongshan's heart trembled with fear.

He will never allow this to happen!

At this moment, an exclamation came from the yard next door: "County Lord! County Lord, what's wrong with you!"

Yuan Chongshan suddenly stopped and looked to the right in disbelief.

There was a chaos of war on the right, and among the crowded crowd, he saw Gu Ning slumped to the ground, his eyes closed tightly, and his bright little face was completely drained of blood.

Yuan Chongshan's heart skipped a beat, and before he could speak, he saw the assassins in black retreating like a tide, leaving only cries and screams in the noisy courtyard.

The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. His hands and feet were extremely cold, and he was about to go to the study.

But the original old lady twisted his ears viciously at this moment: "The Lord of Changning County fainted in our mansion, where are you going to run to?"

"Mom, in the study room..."

"I have already ordered people to do an inventory. All the slaves brought by the guests are in the front yard, and there are guards guarding the outside of the house. How can others enter your study? If you leave under such circumstances, it will only make people suspicious.

Your study! How many times do I need to teach you why there is no three hundred taels of silver here?"

"I……"

"Hurry up and appease the guests!" Mrs. Yuan scolded angrily, "Do you want to collect my body on my sixtieth birthday?"

"Son, I don't dare!" Yuan Chongshan waved his hands repeatedly and never dared to leave the front yard.

It was originally a lively birthday banquet, but these bold assassins appeared. Everyone was worried and did not dare to take a step outside, for fear of becoming the souls of those assassins.

Even though Yuan Chongshan comforted her over and over again, there were still people who didn't want to leave the Yuan family.

No one knows whether the group of assassins are waiting for them to fall into their trap.

Yuan Chongshan was so anxious that several bubbles appeared at the corners of his mouth, but he did not dare to speak loudly to these distinguished guests, so he could only settle them one after another in frustration.

After coming and going, the sky was getting dark, and Yuan Chongshan was able to get away from the tedious affairs.

He rushed to the study in a hurry, but didn't see anything strange.

Looking around the secret room, there were no signs of being triggered by the many mechanisms he had carefully set up.

After checking it four or five times, he breathed a sigh of relief and broke into a cold sweat while holding the account book.

"Not bad! Not bad!" He whispered, "It seems that today was indeed an accident."

…

The most luxurious courtyard of the original family, apart from the main courtyard, is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion on the east side.

Gu Ning, who "fainted from fright", was leaning weakly on the couch, her red lips slightly opened, swallowing the porridge handed to her by the man.

Xie Yan pursed his thin lips into a straight line, but as soon as he showed impatience, the woman on the bed would raise a pair of beautiful eyes full of tears and look at him aggrievedly.

Chunyu's words will also ring in my ears repeatedly: "For you, the county master will not hesitate to put himself in danger and let his soldiers pretend to be assassins to assassinate him to buy you time."

He glanced coldly at Yue Rong behind him. Yue Rong understood and quickly pulled Chunyu over, and the two of them left the bedroom together.

Here, only he and Gu Ning were left.

Gu Ning lowered his eyes, his crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly, looking extremely weak.

But Xie Yan knew very well that the person in front of him was the best at pretending.
