The wind stopped.
The night was eerily quiet.
The entire Xue Family Manor looked pitch black, except for the lanterns on the corridors, all the rooms were dark, clearly indicating that the people inside were asleep.
At this moment, the Xue Family Manor was not like an impenetrable fortress, but rather heavily guarded. Pei Jian had mobilized all the forces he could gather.
After all, it's just such a large manor, how many people can it really hold?
Two battalions, eight hundred people were almost enough, plus over two hundred hired blades, the entire manor now had a defensive force of just over a thousand.
Pei Jian had spared no effort for the defense of the manor, setting up watch posts and lookout towers at every vantage point around.
During the day, anyone approaching from any direction would be immediately spotted.
