Chapter 22 Your opponent is me!
"Are you the daughter of Prime Minister Shen?"
The girl nodded.
Originally, it was said that these people would be sent to the yamen, and on the way, they would chat with the enthusiastic people to see if they could bring the matter to the emperor through the mouth of the censor.
Since this girl is the daughter of Prime Minister Shen, she naturally doesn't have to worry about this anymore.
This scum who dared to bully the daughter of Prime Minister Chen will definitely die a miserable death.
Xiao Ning turned to look at the man and said sympathetically, "The daughter of the Shen family dared to do this. Boy, you're in big trouble now. Even ten uncles can't protect you now."
The man's face was paler than gold paper, his lips trembling as he stood up and kowtowed, "Miss Chen, I was blind and didn't recognize a great man. I beg you to forgive me and spare my life..."
"Prince Xiao... Prince Consort Xiao, you, you like men, right? My family has many handsome men, and I will give them all to you. Please ask Miss Shen for mercy and let me go this time, okay..."
Xiao Ning: “…”
Is she some kind of horny person?
The girl stole a glance at Xiao Ning and whispered, "Prince Xiao, if you want... I can let it go!"
Anyway, the benefactor came quickly and she didn't suffer any substantial harm, so she was very willing to give face to the benefactor!
Xiao Ning was speechless and kicked the man.
"You've secretly kept so many men. Who knows if you're clean? If not, you'll implicate me."
"Instead of wasting your time here, you should think about how to face the Shen family's wrath and your good uncle's accountability in the future!"
The young master loosened his fingers that were digging into the ground and stared at Xiao Ning's departing back with resentment.
"Sir, what should we do? Are they really the Miss Shen and the current prince consort?"
There was fear in the eyes of the big man named Aqi.
"What are you afraid of?" The young master's eyes were gloomy. "Since they won't give me a way out, there's no need for me to give them a way out."
"Aqi, go gather some men and ambush them on the road they must take back to Antaifang. When they arrive, kill them directly!"
Antaifang in the north of the city is where the powerful and wealthy gather. The Princess Mansion is there, and so is the Shen Mansion.
"Anyway, no one else knows about what happened today. As long as we kill them and clean up the mess, we can make it look like an accident. Then we won't have to worry about the Princess's Mansion or the Left Prime Minister anymore!"
The big man named Aqi received the order and immediately left with his injured body.
…
When Xiao Ning and the girl walked to a quiet alley in the north of the city, they suddenly heard the low clash of swords being unsheathed.
She frowned and whispered to the girl, "There's an ambush, be careful!"
"ah?"
The girl looked at Xiao Ning in confusion. Seeing Xiao Ning's serious expression, she couldn't help but get nervous as well. She reached out and grabbed a small corner of Xiao Ning's clothes, lowered her head and looked around cautiously.
Xiao Ning continued to move forward, the dagger in his sleeve fell into his hand, he was alert to the movements around him, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for cover.
Zheng——
The sword was unsheathed, and the cold light flashed.
More than a dozen people rushed towards Xiao Ning with swords in hand and shouted.
"Go!"
Xiao Ning pushed the girl out of the encirclement and turned to face the killer with a dagger in hand.
The swords collided, making a clanging sound.
Between the long swords and long knives, Xiao Ning seemed a little stretched with the short dagger in his hand.
The girl was so frightened that her legs went weak and she leaned against the wall, staring blankly at Xiao Ning fighting with those people.
"Go! Kill that little girl first!"
Someone saw the girl during the brawl and shouted to the people in the outer circle.
Someone responded and immediately rushed towards the girl.
"Your opponent is me!"
Xiao Ning used a dagger to block the long sword that was stabbing at her, and kicked the killer with a flying foot. The killer was kicked two meters away. Xiao Ning also used the force to rush to the front of the girl, barely blocking the sword that was stabbing at the girl, then turned around and got under the killer's armpit, and stabbed the killer's neck with the dagger.
Hot blood gushed out, covering the girl's face.
How could this delicate girl, raised in seclusion since childhood, have ever seen such a scene? She screamed in fear, and as soon as she opened her mouth, sticky blood flowed into her mouth. The girl leaned against the wall and retched, wiping the blood off her face with her sleeve as she retched.
Xiao Ningke has no time to care about her at the moment.
After dealing with the two people in front of him, more people rushed over. Xiao Ning stretched out his foot to pick up the long sword on the ground and held it in his hand.
She sheathed the dagger and continued to fight with her sword in hand.
The change of weapons made the fight much easier for Xiao Ning. She immediately pierced the carotid arteries of the two men, like a killing god appearing in the world.
Xiao Ning doesn't use many fancy moves in fighting. She only focuses on chopping people's necks. This is a habit she developed from fighting in her previous life. To kill zombies, you must chop off their heads to kill them completely.
Humans are clearly more vulnerable.
Just a slight scratch on the neck with the tip of the sword will result in death.
Xiao Ning fought against eighteen people alone, becoming more and more courageous. As the last man fell to the ground, the blood in the alley had gathered into a stream and flowed to the lower place.
The girl's eyes looking at Xiao Ning at this moment had changed from gratitude to horror.
Seeing Xiao Ning coming towards her, she subconsciously stepped back.
Xiao Ning: “…”
She paused, she could understand the girl's fear. How could a girl who had been raised in seclusion since childhood not be scared when she saw a murder scene up close for the first time?
What's more, she killed two people in front of her, and blood sprayed all over her face.
Xiao Ning didn't step forward, but only lowered his voice and asked her: "Miss Shen, are you okay? Can you still walk? If you can, I will take you home first."
The girl held onto the wall, her legs and feet weak.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her lip and shook her head, "My legs are weak..."
This really stumped Xiao Ning.
The little girl couldn't walk and was afraid of her. This place was secluded and deserted. If she went to the Shen family to report the news first, it would not be appropriate to leave Miss Shen alone with these corpses.
Moreover, there is no guarantee that the person behind the scenes will send more killers after seeing that no one has returned to report for a long time.
"sorry……"
Suddenly, a low, crying voice of a young girl came over.
Xiao Ning was slightly stunned: "Huh?"
"You saved me twice today, and I'm still afraid of you. Am I useless and ungrateful..."
"What are you talking about! Miss Shen, you are the bravest girl I have ever seen. You didn't cry or try to commit suicide when you were bullied by the villains before. Now you saw me kill those villains with your own eyes and you didn't faint immediately out of fright. You are already more powerful than most people in this world!"
"Really?"
The little girl's eyes sparkled and she burst into laughter.
Xiao Ning nodded, "Of course! I never lie!"
The little girl slowly walked over, holding onto the wall. She wiped the blood off her face and the tears from her eyes with her sleeves. "My legs aren't that weak anymore. Let's go back!"
Xiao Ning nodded, stretched out her arm, and let the little girl hold her arm while walking.
The little girl hesitated for a moment and put her white little hand on Xiao Ning's arm.
The scorching heat penetrated the thin fabric and entered Chen Ran's palm, causing her fingertips to curl up and her cheeks to turn slightly red.
"Prince Xiao, what should we do about these...?"
Xiao Ning knew the body she was asking about and said, "I'll take you home first, then we'll go to Jingzhao Prefecture and have the officials take care of it."
