It was Du Shaoxuan. He walked towards them step by step, stepping on the corpses with a murderous look on his face. His eyes were cold and his fighting spirit was boiling, like a god of death descending to the earth.
The bow and arrows in his hand shot out continuously, nailing the target to the ground each time, turning it into a blood gourd.
The power and accuracy are so great that it is astonishing.
One by one, the men in black fell to the ground screaming, and the strong smell of blood was everywhere.
The situation reversed in an instant. Mu Wanqing's forced breath disappeared, her legs went weak, and her body fell down involuntarily.
A gust of wind flashed by, and a pair of long arms hugged her in time, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Wanqing, where are you injured?"
Mu Wanqing was both relieved to have escaped death and exhausted after being so nervous. "No one is hurt. You came just in time."
Du Shaoxuan touched her pale and cold little face, his eyes full of heartache.
The moment he learned about the accident, he felt cold all over, was filled with fear, dropped everything and rushed over day and night.
Hurry up, faster.
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
"Don't be afraid, I'm coming."
He was extremely restrained and didn't say anything to express his worry, but the strength with which he hugged Mu Wanqing and his trembling body revealed his truest emotions.
He was afraid and trembling with fear.
Mu Wanqing clearly felt it and gently hugged him back, in return for the tightest hug possible, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood and protect her for the rest of her life.
Her heart softened and she leaned lazily in his arms, not wanting to move. Whenever she was in danger, he would always rush to her side at the first opportunity.
"I'm fine. Let me stay alive so that someone can put out the fire. Forget it. The fire can't be put out. Let's save the villagers."
Du Shaoxuan brought the most elite Du family army, guarding every exit of the village at the first opportunity and taking control of the village in his own hands.
At this moment, the men in black had already fallen in a pool of blood, and the Du family army was cleaning the battlefield and putting out the fire.
Because it was a thatched mud house, once it started burning, the fire could not be stopped. The flames shot up into the sky and there was no way to put it out.
The village head's wife stumbled over and said, "Ms. Qing, Qing..."
Her voice stopped abruptly, and she looked at Mu Wanqing in shock, "Who are you?"
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then touched her face. The incident happened so suddenly that she didn't even have time to put on ugly makeup before running out.
"Aunt, is everyone in your family okay? Where is the village chief? Please ask him to come over. I have something to say to him."
The village chief gave up his house and the whole family went to live with relatives. The village chief's wife heard a familiar voice and thought, "This is Miss Qing," but what's wrong with her face?
The men in black only left two people alive, and they refused to confess at first, but the Du family army had their own set of military interrogation methods and soon got things out of their mouths.
They are members of Nianhua Tower and recently received a big order offering a reward of one million taels for Princess Qingping's head.
Everyone in Nianhualou came out, led by the leader of the organization, to set up a tight net.
"Niaohua Tower?" Mu Wanqing felt that the name was strange.
Du Shaoxuan's face was dark and frightening. "The largest and most mysterious assassin organization in the Jianghu, with influence spread across various countries, has existed for a long time. They come and go without a trace and have never failed. The government wants to eradicate them but is powerless."
Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless, they are also good at disguise and are hard to guard against.
Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, "One million taels, this is the highest reward in history, right? Who wants to kill me?"
I think so highly of her.
"Only the leader knows this." Du Shaoxuan hates using force to break the law the most. Why doesn't a man with martial arts skills join the army to defend his country?
"But I will dig him out even if I have to go to heaven or hell." Then he cut the body into pieces and crushed the bones to ashes.
However, without showing any sign of it, he changed the subject and said, "I brought you your favorite almond cake..."
When he received the news, the kitchen had just delivered some snacks. He planned to send them to Mu Wanqing once in a while.
He took out the snack box, opened it and saw that it was broken into pieces.
Mu Wanqing didn't dislike it. She picked up a piece and took a bite, her eyes curved, "It's delicious."
The sweet snack soothed my tense nerves greatly.
"Ask them why they came here so late at night to burn people and set fire to people?"
After asking, we found out that these killers came here after searching the mountains. When they saw no human habitation, they did not ask around and just massacred the village.
It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go. This is the mentality of a killer.
If there is, that would be great. If not, the villagers can only consider themselves unlucky.
Anyway, I'm used to killing people like crazy.
In other words, even if Mu Wanqing was not in the village, they would not let the villagers go.
A figure jumped out from the darkness and punched and kicked the killer, "You beast, you inhuman beast."
It was the village chief, his eyes were red and he was furious.
Their homes were destroyed and some villagers were sleeping so soundly that they had no time to escape from the fire.
Overnight, the family was broken up.
Other villagers also rushed forward. The killer had his limbs tied up and could not resist. He could only allow himself to be slaughtered.
In the past, killing people was as easy as killing chickens, but now you have become fish on the chopping board. This is retribution.
Mu Wanqing stared at the scene with a unhappy expression.
A woman rushed over, but was blocked by Ada and Aer. Her eyes were bloodshot and she asked angrily, "It's you who attracted these inhumane beasts. It's you who caused the disaster..."
He was angry at Mu Wanqing and wanted to pounce on her and beat her up.
Du Shaoxuan's eyes turned cold and he shouted, "How dare you! Princess Qingping is here, why don't you all kneel down?"
He is a military general, with a murderous aura on the battlefield, which frightened the woman so much that she trembled. What princess?
The village chief occasionally went out and knew a thing or two about the outside world. He quickly led the villagers to kneel down and said, "I pay my respects to the princess."
As for such a trivial matter as changing one's face...I guess it's just the noble's hobby?
Ah Er was injured and had already treated his wounds. He stared at the woman, "What are you standing there for? All officials below the second rank must bow to my princess when they see her. The princes and princesses are all polite to my princess. Are you trying to offend her?"
No one wants something like this to happen, and they feel bad about it, but it's okay to blame them.
The village chief was very anxious, "Li Zi's mother, kneel down quickly."
The woman was a little scared, her legs went weak and she knelt down.
Ah Er wanted to protect Mu Wanqing very much. "Also, these killers are inhumane and kill anyone they see. What does this have to do with my princess? No matter what, it cannot be blamed on our princess. Every wrong has its perpetrator, don't make the mistake."
Du Shaoxuan frowned slightly, with a somewhat unfriendly look in his eyes, as if someone was stealing his lines.
The woman couldn't help but burst into tears, "My Taozi passed away at such a young age. My heart..."
It turned out that his child was burned to death. Although, his family only cared about saving the boy and left the daughter behind, but she was their biological child after all, how could they not feel sad?
Mu Wanqing sighed softly in her heart. If she didn't care, these people would really be desperate.
How can you live without a house, property or anything?
"Village Chief, what are your plans next?"
The village chief had a look of despair on his face. He had thought he could still have a good year, but now, his house was burned down and everything he owned was destroyed.
He even wanted to die.
Seeing him in a daze, Mu Wanqing rubbed her brows and asked, "Are you willing to go down the mountain?"
The village chief was stunned. "Go down the mountain? We have nothing, not even land. How can we live?"
Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "We will move to the foot of the mountain, and each person will be given two acres of land and each family will be given a house."
There is such a good thing? The village chief's eyes lit up, like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood, "What? Are you serious?"
The villagers looked surprised, some happy, some confused, and some scared.
Should they go out? They don't know how to deal with people outside.
Mu Wanqing looked at everyone and said, "Yes, if you are willing, I will ask someone to arrange it for you, which will complete our fate."
The village chief was willing to do so, and he also believed that Mu Wanqing would not lie to them, as they had nothing to gain.
It’s just… “But we have lived here for generations, and some people don’t want to leave.”
Mu Wanqing said calmly, "Some children in the village are quite smart. It would be a pity if they don't study. If we move to the foot of the mountain, we can find a school to study in. If one of them can study well, there will be hope for the whole village."
“If a tree is moved, it will die; if a person is moved, he will live. For the sake of future generations, we still have to move out of the mountains.”
"Please let us discuss it carefully." The village chief was already thinking about how to convince the villagers.
Mu Wanqing made a suggestion, but she would not force the other party to do so, and she should just do her duty.
"Okay, I'll go down the mountain at daybreak and leave one person with you. Tell him when you've made up your mind."
As the sky gradually brightened, Du Shaoxuan squatted in front of Mu Wanqing and said, "Come up, I'll carry you down the mountain."
The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, but Du Shaoxuan walked steadily, as if he was walking on flat ground. Mu Wanqing, who was lying on his back, fell asleep in a short while because she was too tired.
Du Shaoxuan listened to her steady breathing, and the anxiety he had felt in these days gradually faded away. It was great that she was alive and well.
My eyes were inexplicably moist.
The sun rises in the east and gradually climbs up, it is a sunny day.
At the foot of the mountain, there are heavy guards, three layers inside and three layers outside, and no outsiders are allowed to approach.
The people saw this and stayed away from them. The scene was strangely quiet, with three groups of people gathered here, ignoring each other.
The birds were startled and there was movement in the forest.
I saw a group of people coming out. Du Jiajun had sharp eyes and immediately greeted them, "Meet the master."
Du Shaoxuan led thousands of people up the mountain, and thousands of people were stationed at the foot of the mountain, surrounding the mountain.
He lowered his voice and said, "Silence."
A tall figure flashed over and saw the motionless woman lying on Du Shaoxuan's back. His face changed drastically, "Mu Wanqing..."
Du Shaoxuan frowned. Is this the commander of the Wuyi Guard? "Keep your voice down. She's asleep."
Wei Shaohui closed his eyes to suppress his surging emotions, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw the cold-blooded and ruthless commander of the Wuyiwei.
"Injured?"
Du Shaoxuan looked at him deeply and was secretly on guard.
He shook his head slightly and walked silently towards the carriage with Mu Wanqing on his back.
"Hmm?" The person on her back moved. Mu Wanqing's eyelids twitched and she opened her eyes slightly. Where is this?
Du Shaoxuan tilted his head slightly and saw Mu Wanqing's cute and dazed look after she just woke up, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry? Eat something before you go to sleep."
A voice sounded, "We have prepared bone noodle soup and meat sauce. Would you like a bowl?"
Mu Wanqing heard the voice and looked over. Hey, he's here too? What a coincidence. "Master Wei?"
Wei Shaohui was a step late and was stopped by the Du family army at the foot of the mountain. It was not that he could not force his way in, but there was no need to lose both sides. "I am here to pick up Princess Qingping by order. The emperor will be very happy that you are safe and sound."
He deliberately kept his distance. Mu Wanqing understood his situation very well and greeted him politely.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wei."
Wei Shaohui was very restrained, his eyebrows lowered, "It's my duty to do errands for the emperor."
Du Shaoxuan looked at this and that, frowning, and always felt that something was strange.
The way this man looked at Wanqing was even more strange, and for a moment, the alarm sounded...
