Chapter 2642: Target (3)
"There are a lot of people who come." Long Xu snorted as he waved his sword. Blood splattered on the fallen man and he looked to the side. "How’s the other side?"
"Nan Si and Madam’s people are clearing up the area."
"Continue." Long Xu nodded and then lead the soldiers to continue cleaning up the area.
There were many people who came to the Long Family Residence today and they should have specifically picked the day when Nan Hua was on labor.
It seemed that there should be a spy inside.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to know the day of Nan Hua’s labor.
After all, Nan Hua basically didn’t inform anyone and only the servants who were in Nan Hua’s quarter today should know about this. But the assassins arrived not long afterwards as if they had long known that their chance of success was higher today.
Swish!
On the other side, Lou was staying near Nan Hua’s quarter with Chu Yue not far from him. His order from Long Qian Xing was to stay as the line of defense before Long Qian Xing himself.
The time of labor could vary from short to long. And it might also take several incense sticks of times.
So they were prepared for a long battle without Nan Hua able to help them.
Besides, how could Nan Hua fight directly after she had her labor?
Her energy would have been thoroughly consumed because of giving birth to the child and after that, she had to rest to recover her strength. There was no time to help them clean up these assassins.
"Long Xu and Nan Si should have done their job well," Lou commented when there was not even a shadow of assassin coming towards them.
He thought that these assassins were something when they dared to make a move and calculated carefully during the time when Nan Hua was unavailable. But it turned out that these people were still relatively weak.
"Don’t lower your guard." Chu Yue glanced blankly at Lou.
It would not be good if the enemy suddenly appear in front of them when they were unprepared.
There was no way Chu Yue would allow Lou to be in such situation and possibly lost his life.
"I don’t." Lou shook his head.
Even though they were chatting like this, he was still watching over his surroundings carefully. Because he knew very well that if he were careless and not pay attention, the enemy might ambush him suddenly.
Over the years, he had already followed Long Qian Xing on the battlefield. He was not going to make such a low level mistake at critical times.
"Good." Chu Yue nodded and then focused on the surrounding trees.
The courtyard in the Long Family Residence was not bad but there were simply too many trees and other plants around, which obstructed their vision to a certain degree.
It was a bit annoying if one had to say.
But since it was something that Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua arranged, it was not good for them to say anything about this.
"Have you arranged to check the people who are in Madam’s quarter?" Lou suddenly asked.
The suspicion of the spy was naturally something that flashed in Lou’s mind. For these people to be able to follow Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua, their minds would have been tempered for a long time.
