Song Ning suddenly smiled, startling Chai Qing.
"Guard Chai, what...did you just see?"
Chai Qing was stunned for a moment; that smile looked rather frightening.
"Miss Song, please don't laugh like that, it scares me."
"Oh dear, what are you afraid of? What did you just see?"
Before Chai Qing could speak, Song Ning continued, "Did you see the Bodhisattva appear and save us from danger?"
Chai Qing sighed helplessly. "Miss Song, if you say something like that, not even a fool would believe it, let alone him."
When Chai Qing came out, he specifically examined the wounds of those men in black, and they were exactly the same as the wounds of the men in black outside the city.
He only saw that Miss Song seemed to be holding something, but he didn't see the details clearly.
But it was this thing that they couldn't see clearly that knocked down all the people on the other side.
Something that can kill without getting close—all he knows about bows and arrows is this. But what Miss Song has in her hand isn't a bow and arrow; it's something that can be hidden in her hand.
As he spoke, he looked down at Song Ning's hand hidden in her sleeve.
Miss Song, you're truly a woman of great talent.
When Song Ning saw Chai Qing's expression, he knew that Chai Qing had seen it.
"Guard Chai, could you please keep quiet about what happened today?"
Although these things had been used before, they were used in local areas, and even if they had reached the capital, their credibility would not be high.
But this time is different; this is under the emperor's nose, in a feudal dynasty.
No emperor would feel at ease possessing such a weapon without the court's knowledge.
Chai Qing sighed softly: "Miss Song, have you considered that even if I don't tell anyone, the Qin family won't cover for you?"
There are still quite a few survivors over there.
"It's fine over there. Even if they tell others, as long as I deny it to the death, there's nothing they can do to me."
How can we take what the enemy says seriously?
The Qin family wants to kill her; their words are not to be trusted.
Chai Qing kept glancing at her hand, asking curiously, "Miss Song, what exactly were you holding in your hand just now?"
"Um... how should I put it, it's a kind of weapon."
"Where did it come from? Why have I never seen it before?"
"This...uh...is not from here."
"Not from here? Then where is it from? Could it be from an enemy country? I've heard that enemy countries also have gunpowder and can make small weapons that can kill people without them even noticing."
"How could an enemy country have such a thing? Dream on."
"Where is that from?"
Song Ning: ......
They're really digging deeper.
"Don't ask, you won't believe me even if I tell you."
Chai Qing said excitedly, "You tell me, I will definitely believe you."
"It was given to me by the Bodhisattva."
Chai Qing fell silent. Okay, he really didn't believe it.
Bodhisattvas are all compassionate and dedicated to saving all sentient beings, so why would they give people weapons?
impossible.
But Song Ning remained silent. He began to have doubts. Could it be true?
Just because Chai Qing promised not to tell anyone doesn't mean others don't know.
Tang Xinghuai's group, like Chai Qing, were shocked by what Song Ning had.
Upon returning, he immediately reported the matter.
"You mean, Song Ning dealt with those people himself?"
"That's right. Before our men could even make a move, the Qin family's assassins were killed in one blow."
Tang Xinghuai frowned slightly. He knew that Song Ning was quite capable, but this was the first time he had heard of him in this area.
Just how many more abilities does Song Ning possess that he doesn't know about?
The subordinate was very excited: "Your Highness, if we could use such weapons, our great cause would surely succeed!"
They could see it clearly; the weapon didn't even need to get close to the person to knock them down from a distance.
"Your Highness, the saying goes, 'To subdue the enemy without fighting.' If we had such a weapon, we wouldn't be at a disadvantage so often. Then we..."
"shut up."
Tang Xinghuai interrupted him, his eyes cold, and the man quickly knelt down.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, I misspoke."
Tang Xinghuai was naturally tempted by such a weapon, but she had already wronged Song Ning last time, and she must not harm her again.
If it weren't for Xie Linzhou's presence last time, the entire Song family would probably have perished.
But it was precisely because Xie Linzhou was there that he dared to act that way.
Song Ning wanted a peaceful and stable life, and he couldn't drag her into this anymore.
He was a man who couldn't be brought to light, but Song Ning wasn't.
Song Ning is just like his sister. Such a beautiful girl should not be tainted by someone like him with blood on his hands.
He has no way back; his future is destined to be either certain death or complete ruin.
"The arrangements in the south have already been made?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, we have placed our people in all of them."
"If I hear even a single word of what happened today, your life is no longer worth living," Tang Xinghuai said calmly.
"yes."
......
Song Ning returned home to find the spies on the street had already left. After thinking for a moment, he asked Chai Qing, "Guard Chai, did we do something extraordinary today?"
"It's not us, it's you."
Among ordinary citizens, Song Ning is the first to dare to challenge the Qin family.
Song Ning clicked his tongue: "There's nothing I can do, I just can't stand to suffer any loss."
Chai Qing sighed helplessly. This Miss Song was truly an interesting person; no wonder she caught the princess's eye.
The Song family didn't know where Song Ning had gone; they only knew that he couldn't open the shop recently, so he was taking a break at home.
As they reached the door, Song Ning repeatedly instructed, "You promised me you wouldn't say a word about what just happened."
Chai Qing teased her deliberately, "Miss Song, when did I agree to that?"
Song Ning was taken aback, then realized it was true.
"If you keep this a secret, I might be able to show it to you again later. If we become good friends in the future, you might even be able to use it."
Chai Qing's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"So, tell me if you agree or not?"
"Yes, yes, Miss Song, don't worry, I will definitely not say anything, not even if the general asks me."
He patted Chai Qing on the shoulder: "Brother, you're reliable."
Back home, Liu Yuelan and the others were playing cards. Song Ning had made this game for leisure and entertainment so that his family wouldn't overthink it.
When you're busy, you tend to overthink, and it seems to be quite effective.
Since I taught them how to play poker, their minds have indeed stopped wandering to random thoughts; they spend all their time thinking about how to win.
If she were to teach her how to play mahjong, her mother would lose all interest in making money.
While they were having a great time playing outside, Xiao Cui quietly ran over and asked, "Master, where have you been?"
"It's nothing, I just had to go out for a while."
"When will our restaurant be able to reopen?"
"Let's wait, it should be soon."
Song Ning didn't have to wait long. Five days later, one night, chaos finally broke out outside.
