Li Yang was just a small errand boy who knew only a few tricks. There was no way he could escape the killing hand-sword hidden weapon used by the royal guards.
I only felt a white light flying in front of my eyes in an instant, and a biting chill instantly spread across my brows.
For the first time in my life, I felt so close to death!
Zhao Jinhai, who was following behind him, had eyes that were red as fire and the sound he made was uglier than crying.
"Brother Yang! Get out of the way!!!"
"bump--"
When the hidden weapon was about to pierce Li Yang's eyebrow, suddenly a silver needle shot from a distance and knocked the hidden weapon away.
Li Yang was suddenly pulled back from the brink of death. All the tension in his body suddenly disappeared and he collapsed on the bed.
Zhao Jinhai rushed over and checked carefully. Seeing that Li Yang was unharmed, he let him go.
The joy of regaining what he had lost was so great that he, a tall man of eight feet, could not help but hug Li Yang and cry bitterly.
“Wuwuwu…Brother Yang, it was a close call just now, luckily…luckily you are okay, wuwuwu…”
Just a little bit away, my cousin who I have watched grow up since childhood is now separated from me forever!!!
The Xiao family members not far away breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Su Qingning rescue Li Yang.
After all, the Black Wind Riders came to assassinate them. Even if they killed all of them, the Xiao family could still pretend to be stupid and say they didn't know.
The Third Prince's men would not openly cause trouble.
The Zhao Jinhai brothers were the officers escorting the Xiao family. If anything went wrong with them, it would be a real problem.
Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Huaishuo immediately dealt with the remaining Black Wind Cavalry in a hurry.
The other female members of the Xiao family had been awakened early, and at this time they all looked towards Su Qingning with worry.
After seeing the corpse of Heifeng riding a horse over there, the Xiao family was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths for a long time!
Although everyone knew that Su Qingning was very powerful, seeing her kill a Black Wind Rider silently in an instant was still a little beyond their cognition.
Liu Qing and Zhang Qinxue were so shocked that their hearts were pounding. They took several deep breaths before they calmed down a little.
The little girl Xiao Qingya was as fearless as a newborn calf. She blinked her big eyes and looked around for a long time.
When she looked at Su Qingning again, she already had a fangirl expression with stars in her eyes.
My sister-in-law is so amazing! How can she be as amazing as my sister-in-law?
Xiao Huaishuo thinks more than them.
As far as he knew, Su Qingning had no secrets and was able to kill so many Black Wind Riders in such a short time. He must have used some powerful drugs or weapons.
What on earth could cause such heavy damage?!
How come his little princess is like a huge treasure, bringing him different surprises every day?
Although the Xiao family had different thoughts at this time, they all felt extremely proud and honored to see Su Qingning willing to show her abilities to them without hesitation.
They all swore secretly that they would keep this secret for Ning Ning.
The Zhao Jinhai and his brother over there slowly came back to their senses from their fright.
When he saw the corpses of the Black Wind Riders, he was so frightened that he began to doubt his own strength.
They knew that there were nobles in the court who were trying to kill the Xiao family. They ran out now just because they thought that they were at least people in the court, and maybe they could intercede and save the underage Xiao Qingya and Xiao Huaijin, so that the Xiao family would not be extinct.
Who could have thought?!
Without saying a word, the three of them wiped out nearly 200 Black Wind Cavalrymen!
What's even more frightening is that the newly arrived young master Xiao destroyed more than 100 Black Wind Riders by himself!!!
You call this the young lady of the prime minister's mansion who was cowardly and abused since childhood? !
They all believed her if she was the reincarnation of a murderous god!!!
The two never expected that they would not only cause trouble for others by running out, but also almost lose their lives. They felt grateful and ashamed.
Li Yang's emotions went through waves, but he finally calmed down. He trembled and kowtowed to Su Qingning.
"Young Master...Young Master, you gave me this life. From now on, if you have any orders, I will never refuse!"
"Get up, raise your hands and it's done."
There was no trace of emotion in Su Qingning's tone.
She knew that these officials were like ants and could not fight against power.
So even though I knew they knew there was an assassination tonight but didn't tell me, I wasn't prepared to argue with them.
But at this moment, Zhao Jinhai kowtowed to Su Qingning and the Xiao family.
"Old Princess, Prince, Princess! I know I am wrong! Ten years ago, my family was abducted by the Western Rong, and it was the former War King who saved our family."
"Today I knew clearly that a noble in the court was trying to assassinate you, but I kept it secret. I am truly ashamed of the ancestors of the Zhao and Li families, and I am ashamed of my conscience."
"Princess, you saved my cousin's life without holding a grudge. This is your generosity. But I, Zhao Jinhai, cannot be a traitor again."
"From now on, we two will serve you like slaves to repay your kindness in saving our lives!"
Zhao Jinhai knocked his forehead heavily towards his face, his tone sincere.
Before, when facing the Xiao family, he only felt guilty for not being able to help them, but after seeing their true strength, he was willing to surrender.
Princess Zhan's strength was already beyond their imagination. In front of such a terrifying figure, they had no choice but to bow down and submit.
The Xiao family members all looked at Su Qingning, waiting for her to make a decision.
They had gotten used to Su Qingning being the middle man and listening to her opinions first on everything.
Su Qingning glanced at the two of them and said calmly:
"Get up first. You don't need to do anything for now, everything remains the same. Just keep your mouth shut."
In the original book, these two people are indeed chivalrous and righteous, and they clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment. If we can recapture them today, it will be much easier to deal with things in the future.
"Thank you, Princess, for taking us in!"
Besides wanting to repay their gratitude, they were also a little excited.
They had a feeling that this Princess Zhan was definitely not an ordinary person and that they would have a bright future following her!
The Liu and Li families might even be able to live a good life where they can eat meat every day!
Of course, many years later, when the two of them, who followed Sister Su to enjoy the delicacies of the sea every day, recalled this past event, they could not help but sigh, what it meant that poverty limited their imagination.
I am extremely grateful to myself for choosing to join Princess Zhan.
Su Qingning was somewhat moved by the inner excitement of the two people, and hurriedly helped them up.
"We have been demoted to commoners. Just call me a young man."
"Yes, young man."
Su Qingning gave a few more instructions and asked the two to leave.
As soon as she returned to the room, the Xiao family members surrounded her and pulled at her clothes to check her anxiously.
"Ouch - Ningning, thank you for your hard work. Let grandma take a look. Are you hurt?"
"Yeah! Ningning, are you tired? Yaer! Go get your sister-in-law a glass of water!"
"Ah - sister-in-law, why are there so much blood on your body? Where are you hurt?"
Su Qingning felt a lump in her throat as she looked at the Xiao family members who truly cared about her.
With such a good family, what does it matter if she is a little more tired and suffers a little?
She patted the hand of her second sister-in-law who was constantly checking on her and said comfortingly:
"Sister-in-law, please let go. This is other people's blood."
But suddenly, his eyes went dark, his body involuntarily stumbled forward, and he almost fell.
"Ning Ning!"
"Sister-in-law!"
“Sister-in-law!”
A few anxious voices came out, and Su Qingning felt like she had fallen into a solid embrace with a slight fragrance.
