"Who are you?"

Feng Qiyan, holding a dagger and leading a young mare, looked at the two masked men in black who were approaching her step by step with full vigilance.

However, the other party's voice sounded a little hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. If Feng Qiyan hadn't seen their flat chests, she probably wouldn't have been able to tell whether the other party was a woman or a man for a moment.

"Boss, she has a weapon!" a masked man in black said with a little concern.

"Promising!"

Another masked man in black slapped the first person on the head in annoyance and shouted, "You're really regressing. You're even afraid of a child and her toy sword!"

Feng Qiyan, holding a black iron dagger that could cut through iron like mud: ...

Although Feng Qiyan couldn't figure out what the other party intended for the moment, she inexplicably smelled a scent of blood.

"Could it be that... you are beggars?" Feng Qiyan frowned slightly and asked tentatively.

“Hehehe…”

"Little guy, if you insist on understanding it this way, then it's not wrong!" The masked man in black who was his subordinate smiled sinisterly.

The masked man in black who was called "Boss" also had a fierce look in his eyes, and then he drew the sword from its sheath with a "swish".

"Kid! There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there's no door to hell but you insist on breaking in! Then... you can't blame us!"

Although the girl before him was wearing the Imperial College uniform, most likely a student in the "genius class" there, whether she was a fool or a genius, she was undoubtedly a virgin. Since she had already caught them doing this, and since she couldn't spare her life, she might as well capture her to make up the number, killing two birds with one stone...

"clang"!

When the leader of the masked men in black swung his sword towards Feng Qiyan, Feng Qiyan had already driven her horse aside, and quickly unsheathed the black iron sword in her hand and raised the sword to block.

"Bang!"

The sharp sword of the masked leader in black was instantly cut into two pieces by the "toy sword" he mentioned, and the tip of the sword fell to the ground.

"Boss... Boss, this is not a toy sword!" The subordinates of the masked man in black standing by couldn't help but exclaimed loudly when they saw this.

"I have eyes!" said the leader of the masked men in black unhappily.

"You two unscrupulous villains, what exactly are you trying to do by arresting so many children?"

Feng Qiyan's face was sullen, and she looked at the man in black with an incomparably cold gaze. Although she was only eight years old at the time, she already had the aura and authority of a superior, making people feel as if she was followed by a huge army.

"You'll find out soon enough!"

The leader of the black-clad, masked men dropped the half-broken sword with the hilt in his hand with a clang, snatched the sword from his subordinate, and stabbed Feng Qiyan's limbs again. This girl was still useful at the moment, so she couldn't be killed with a single blow for the time being.

Although Feng Qiyan was young and not at an advantage in height, she was extremely agile. When the masked man in black raised his sword to stab her, she dodged left and right, avoiding his attacks again and again.

"Bang!"

After Feng Qiyan dodged three attacks from the black-clothed and masked leader, she swung the black iron sword in her hand again and cut it into two pieces.

"Boss! This kid has some skills! The sword in her hand is a treasure!"

The masked man in black couldn't help but exclaim once more upon seeing this. Moreover, his gaze towards Feng Qiyan became even more intense.

"Since you've offered me your treasure, I'd definitely take it..."

The leader of the black-clothed and masked men's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he dropped the broken sword in his hand, and together with his men, he rubbed his hands and prepared to fight Feng Qiyan, not feeling ashamed at all to fight a child two against one.

"Sizzle~"

The clothes of the two masked men in black were quickly cut by Feng Qiyan's black iron sword, and blood was immediately dripping.

"Grandpa, damn it!"

"He's actually a thorn in the side!"

The leader of the masked men in black touched the bloody wound on his arm. The bright red remaining on his hand made his eyes look even more scarlet, filled with rage that was about to burst out.

"Come on!"

The two masked men in black were ready to fight again, attacking Feng Qiyan from the left and right, but they were quickly knocked down by Feng Qiyan without weapons.

The children in the deep pit initially knew someone was coming and cried out excitedly, but when they realized it was just a child, they immediately fell silent in despair. At this moment, the crowd who heard the noise above suddenly cried out excitedly again.

"waste!"

When Feng Qiyan was rubbing the heads of the two masked men in black on the ground, a black figure suddenly flew from the front.

"Is it you?"

When the man saw Feng Qiyan, his face under the black veil suddenly darkened, but he quickly made a decisive move and pressed Feng Qiyan's acupoints, and asked another group of subordinates who arrived later to tie Feng Qiyan up and throw her into a deep pit.

"Are you dead? If not, get out of here!" The masked man in black kicked the two subordinates who were in charge of guarding the place and were knocked to the ground by Feng Qiyan.

"Master, I will go to guard it right away." The little leader lying on the ground struggled to get up.

"This place...I'm afraid it will be exposed soon. We need to move everyone away as quickly as possible, and do it cleanly!"

The masked man in black glanced at Feng Qiyan, whose hands and feet were trapped in the deep pit and whose mouth was blocked by a rag, and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

The people he had ordered to be captured were just homeless children and beggars, or the children of those who had left their homes, who wouldn't likely attract attention. Now that he's dragging the daughter of the Grand General's mansion into this, I'm afraid things are going to get really complicated...

"Yes, Master!"

More than ten subordinates of the black-clothed and masked man responded in unison.

…

At the same time, at the entrance of Class D of the Imperial College, Hua Qingcheng and Wu Chen were standing in the corridor as punishment for being late.

The teacher of the Dizi Ding class truly had a love-hate relationship with this princess. She was a good student, always arriving late or leaving early. But if you were to call her a poor student, she always topped the exams, finishing them in a third of the time, and leaving without a care in the world.

She suddenly understood why Wen Siyin's hair had become increasingly thinner since she became the Imperial Tutor to the Crown Princess...

…

At noon, the morning school bell of the Imperial College rang on time.

Hua Qingcheng and Wu Chen walked out of the Class D classroom as usual and left Mingde Building. When passing by Yuxiu Building, Hua Qingcheng turned in on a whim, but did not find Feng Qiyan there.

"Feng Qiyan didn't come to school today!" said a girl with a round face who looked about ten years old with a little unhappiness.

She and Feng Qiyan still had a competition to complete today, and she actually stood her up...

"Didn't come to school?"

Hua Qingcheng thought for a moment after hearing this. The weather has been getting colder recently. Could it be that this little guy has caught a cold?
