Qin Huai had followed the Madam to the temple to offer incense. Because her session with the abbot had lasted for too long and delayed them, they had no choice but to rest in the temple.
Unexpectedly, they encountered an assassination after midnight.
There were not many guards standing outside to begin with. Most of them had already fought to the death after a bloody battle.
Qin Huai's face was also covered in blood. He could not tell if the blood belonged to the assassins or the guards.
Some of Duke Yong Manor's ordinary guards had died, and one of the Crimson Guards was dead and another was seriously injured.
Chi Jia tried his best to protect Qin Huai. He had already been stabbed in the stomach, and the wound on his leg was so deep that his bones could be seen.
