At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and it seemed that something new had happened. The two looked at each other and immediately walked out of the library, ready to face the unknown challenge.

A whistle sounded in the distance, breaking the tranquility of the night, and a new story was about to unfold. The commotion outside the door was getting closer and closer, and Yu Caiwei and Su Qing quickly walked out of the library. The hall was brightly lit, and the guards were nervously arranging fortifications. Several soldiers hurried in, their faces full of sweat and tension.

"Miss Second, Miss Su Qing, we just found a few more intruders!" a soldier said, panting.

Yu Caiwei immediately asked, "Where did you find it?"

"We have surrounded them in the alley outside the mansion!"

Su Qing nodded and said, “Okay, you continue to set up defenses outside, and we will go and check the situation ourselves.”

Just as they were about to walk out of the door, a maid passing by saw this scene and covered her mouth in surprise: "Oh my God, is there another assassin sneaking in? The Duke's Mansion has been in turmoil these past few days!"

Another old servant beside him shook his head and sighed, "Yes, I heard that the enemy is very powerful. I'm afraid it won't be that easy this time. But fortunately, we have the Second Miss and Miss Su Qing. We still have a chance to win."

The old servant's tone was full of trust and pride in the two girls, which made the others around him nod involuntarily and express their agreement.

Yu Caiwei and Su Qing did not stay for long, and walked quickly towards the alley outside the mansion. Along the way, they met many anxious servants and maids, who all stopped their work and looked at them worriedly.

"Second Miss, you must be careful! Those assassins are very cruel." A young servant said with concern.

"Miss Su Qing, if you need help, just call me anytime. Even if I can't win, I can block arrows for you!" another strong servant volunteered.

Su Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. We will handle it carefully. If there is anything I need help with, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the alley outside the mansion. The night was even darker at this time, and a few swaying lanterns illuminated a dark street. Yu Caiwei and Su Qing carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then slowly walked forward.

In the alley, a group of masked men in black tights were trapped in a small area. The guards were on high alert, weapons tightly in their hands. A leading guard saw Yu Caiwei and Su Qing coming and hurried forward to report: "Second Miss, these people suddenly appeared from the dark. When we found them, they had already broken into the vicinity of the mansion."

Su Qing nodded, staring at the group of people who were surrounded. Suddenly, one of the men in black shouted loudly: "Don't even think about catching us! Our mission will definitely succeed!"

Yu Caiwei sneered and responded: "Your mission will only end here. Hand over your purpose, otherwise no one will leave alive today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leading black-clad man seemed to hesitate. Finally, he waved his hand violently, and the others immediately scattered and fled. The guards reacted quickly and chased them closely. Yu Caiwei and Su Qing stood still, watching all this intently.

After a while, most of the assassins were subdued, and only one man in black was still resisting. His martial arts skills were obviously better than the others, and he narrowly escaped the guards' attacks several times.

At this time, a servant who was watching couldn't help but sighed: "Wow, that person's kung fu is really strong. He can fight so many people alone!"

The maid next to her also screamed: "But Miss Second and Miss Su Qing must be more powerful, they will definitely be fine!"

Yu Caiwei narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Su Qing, go over there and block the retreat. We can't let them escape!"

Su Qing responded, and swiftly passed through the crowd, quickly occupying a favorable position. At this time, only the man in black was still struggling, but he was obviously unable to escape the combined attack of the two.

Suddenly, the man turned and ran towards a dark corner, as if there was a secret passage hidden there. Yu Caiwei was sharp-eyed and immediately shouted, "Hurry up and catch up, don't let him run away!"

They chased after him relentlessly, and finally cornered the man in black in front of a hidden stone slab. Seeing that he had nowhere to escape, he had no choice but to stop and stare at the two men viciously.

At this moment, a stone slab gently moved away, revealing a dark entrance. The man in black jumped in without hesitation, trying to use this secret passage to escape. Yu Caiwei followed decisively and jumped into the passage. Su Qing followed closely behind, and the three of them disappeared into the night in an instant.

The crowd watching the battle suddenly became excited, and discussions arose one after another:

"Oh my god, they actually found the secret passage? I don't know what will happen now!"

"It seems that the matter behind this is much more complicated than we imagined..."

"Miss Er and Miss Su Qing are so brave, I hope everything goes well for them!"

At this moment, the secret passage was pitch black, and the three of them were running fast, no one willing to fall behind. Finally, after a long passage, a faint light appeared in front of them. Yu Caiwei and Su Qing exchanged glances, quickened their pace, and prepared to meet the new challenge.

At this moment, Yu Caiwei suddenly stopped and whispered, "Su Qing, there seems to be a trap here, be careful."

Su Qing nodded slightly, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes: "No matter what, we can't retreat. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to uncover all the mysteries!"

The two looked at each other again and continued to move forward with firm determination, but what awaited them ahead would be greater conspiracy and test.

The air in the passage became more and more solemn, and new suspense followed... The air in the secret passage was damp and cold, and the occasional drops of water on the wall were particularly clear in the silence. Yu Caiwei and Su Qing held torches, and the light swayed in the darkness, illuminating the road ahead. The man in black was still a few meters ahead and seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here.

Yu Caiwei followed closely behind him, frowning slightly. She could sense that this secret passage was hiding a greater danger. "Su Qing," she said softly, "We must be careful. There may be traps buried in this secret passage."

Su Qing nodded, her eyes flashing with calmness and determination. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on everything around me." Her eyes swept across every corner, keenly capturing any suspicious spots.

At this time, they came to a fork in the road. The man in black suddenly stopped and looked back at the two people chasing after him. Yu Caiwei's heart was alert and she subconsciously tightened her sword. At this moment, the ground trembled slightly.
