Manager Du on the bus was on the verge of tears.
If anything were to happen to Song Ning today, he would probably be dead too.
As the carriage drove further and further away, Song Ning suddenly heard a noise behind him.
The group of men in black did indeed return.
She wasn't mistaken; these people never intended to fight the guards to the death.
Those guards were from the Princess's or the Duke's residences. If they were really dead, the Princess's or the Duke's residences would definitely investigate.
Their plan was to lure the guards away so they could attack her.
Song Ning gripped the gun tightly in his sleeve, his finger on the trigger. Just as the man in black was about to step forward, he picked the one in front and fired a shot.
Everyone heard a strange sound and then saw a person fall down.
Then, the second, the third, and so on, until the fifth fell down, and only then did the group of men in black dare not make any rash moves.
Song Ning didn't go for the kill; every shot hit his leg.
No one can swagger around in the face of guns and ammunition.
If you want to kill her, you'd better think twice.
“I know who sent you. Go back and tell your master. If you don’t stop, next time I’ll hit him on the head with this thing.”
The Qin family is heavily guarded, so Song Ning's words have no credibility whatsoever.
But when he saw the black case in her hand, which was still emitting a faint wisp of smoke, the man in black hesitated.
"What, you don't believe me? It's alright. If you're unwilling, you can all stay here today. If you're willing, I'll spare your lives."
As soon as Song Ning finished speaking, several truly fearless individuals charged at her with knives in hand.
This time, Song Ning didn't miss; every shot hit his head.
Since she came into this world, she has done everything she should and shouldn't have done. Murder is nothing special in her eyes anymore.
“Take one more step and I’ll change my mind. You can choose to deliver a message or spare your lives.”
The men in black exchanged glances, ignored the wounds she had inflicted on the ground, and vanished in a few leaps.
A while after the man in black left, Song Ning's bodyguards returned.
They thought Song Ning was doomed, but what did they see?
Song Ning built a fire by the roadside, threw in a few round, charred things, and put a few fish on top of the fire.
The surrounding area was littered with men in black, some of whom were still alive, lying on the ground groaning.
Everyone looked around, but there was no water nearby, so where did the fish come from?
Seeing that everyone had returned, Song Ning looked up and asked with a smile, "You're all back? Are you alright?"
"Don't worry, young lady, we're all fine."
"The potatoes are just cooked, one for each of us."
The fact that no one moved meant that it was time to eat.
One of the guards in blue robes stepped forward to examine the men in black on the ground. Song Ning raised his voice and said, "Don't worry, we've left a few alive. You can take them back to the Duke's mansion for further processing."
Upon seeing the wounds on the man in black, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
They had never seen these wounds on his body before.
Only one wound on his forehead, enough to kill him instantly.
Even the most capable person in the Jin Dynasty couldn't have achieved this.
The princess also told them to protect Miss Song properly. Does she really need their protection?
"Miss Song, these people..."
Song Ning took a bite of the fish and laughed, "Would you believe me if I said this was a miracle from the Bodhisattva?"
Everyone wore expressions that were hard to describe, as if to say, "Do you think we believe that?"
"As expected, they didn't believe it."
"Actually... after you left, a great hero suddenly appeared and knocked them all to the ground in a flash. The remaining men in black, seeing this, did not dare to linger and fled."
"And what about the great hero?"
"I'm gone." Song Ning said innocently.
They've left?
"Just walk that way." He said, pointing behind him.
"I originally wanted to treat the hero to grilled fish and ask his name, but the hero said that doing good deeds should not leave one's name, and refused to eat my grilled fish no matter what. It was gone in a flash."
The crowd initially didn't believe it, but Song Ning was just a young girl, completely powerless. They would never believe it if she were to say that she had killed all these people.
Therefore, they quickly accepted Song Ning's explanation.
Seeing that everyone believed her, Song Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief; they were quite easy to fool.
After the group ate roasted potatoes and grilled fish, someone suddenly remembered Manager Du.
"Miss Song, where is your manager?"
"Oh, the situation was critical just now, so I let him go first. I think he'll come to pick me up soon."
Just then, they heard shouts from afar: "Boss, boss..."
"See, they're back now."
Manager Du was driving the cart when he saw everyone sitting together. He was a little incredulous, but everyone, including Song Ning, was alright. He went up to Song Ning, grabbed her arm, and was about to cry.
"Boss, are you alright?"
"It's alright." After saying that, she pointed to the potatoes and roasted fish left on the fire, "You're back just in time. These were saved for you."
......
They shouldn't face any danger on their journey ahead. Song Ning took six people with him, and the remaining four disposed of the corpses, while the survivors were taken back to the Duke's mansion.
Manager Du sat on the edge of the cart, looking completely bewildered, holding a potato in one hand and a grilled fish in the other.
Looking at the man in blue robes driving the carriage beside him, he asked in a low voice, "Sir, what exactly is going on?"
The man in the blue robe was named Chai Qing, and he came from the Duke's mansion.
As he drove the carriage, he laughed and said, "Manager Du, you're lucky to have such a good employer. He lets you run first when there's danger."
I've never seen a boss like this before; we should cherish him.
Manager Du was terrified by Song Ning's actions just now and is still in a daze.
He keeps chanting Amitabha Buddha in his heart.
Miss Song is alright, and his life is saved too.
"Master, are you really not going back to rest first?"
"I'm fine. We've come this far, there's no reason for us to go back. We've come all this way, we have to see everything before we go back."
She really is going to check out the land today.
There are many villages around Beijing that are close to the city and inexpensive. If you could buy one, you could do a lot of things there.
The carriage continued forward and soon came into view of the village.
They had agreed to come today, and from a distance they could see people standing at the village entrance looking in their direction.
As the carriage approached the village entrance, Manager Du jumped off and spoke to the people standing there. The carriage then passed by, and Song Ning alighted. Manager Du introduced them, "Village Chief, this is our boss. Please take us to see those plots of land we mentioned last time."
The village chief, an old man with dark skin, nodded and led them into the village.
Despite being a village under the jurisdiction of the capital, it did not appear as neat and prosperous as one might have imagined; instead, it was rather dilapidated.
Some of the houses had even collapsed, clearly indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.
The city was bustling and lively, while the area outside was desolate and quiet; it didn't look like the outskirts of the capital at all.
