Now that the secret guards are by my side and I have recovered from my internal injuries, if anyone from Xiliu Village comes, I will make sure they never return!"
"Okay, Third Brother, then you go and take a rest, I'll go back too."
Ning Xiaotang walked away, and Ning Zike looked at Ning Xiaotang's back.
"No matter what, Tangtang still cares about me, her brother!"
"Third brother, you are so lucky! Tangtang even came to visit you specially!"
"Fourth brother, why are you hiding here and eavesdropping?"
Ning Zihe immediately said, "I originally came to see my mother, but when I heard her crying, I didn't go in. When Tangtang came just now, I was so scared that I hid in the ear room."
"Haha, if Tangtang had known you were here, she would have given you another pill to try!"
"Are you serious? I'm going to go find Tangtang right now, otherwise my body's training speed will soon be unable to keep up with you!"
Ning Zihe immediately chased towards Ning Xiaotang's yard.
At this time, Ning Zike reached out and covered his chest.
Although Ning Xiaotang's elixir greatly improved his overall strength, the gap between him and Liu Sanlin still caused him some internal injuries.
"Third Young Master, are you okay?" Xiao Si beside him immediately stepped forward and asked nervously.
"Ye You, help me into the house quickly."
"Yes, Third Young Master." Ye You immediately stepped forward and supported Ning Zike into the house.
"Puff~!" Ning Zike spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Third Young Master! How are you?" Ye You immediately became very nervous.
"I just need to rest for a while." Ning Zike immediately fell on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
Ye You immediately stepped out, tears streaming down his face as he walked.
Ning Xiaotang's yard
"Okay, okay, here is the pill that Fourth Brother wants, take it!" Ning Xiaotang gave a pill to Ning Zihe.
Ban Yue immediately rushed in with Ye You: "Miss, the Third Young Master is vomiting blood!"
Ning Xiaotang immediately placed the pill in Ning Zihe's hand and asked, "When did you vomit blood?"
Ye You immediately said: "Just now!"
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look now!" Ning Xiaotang immediately took the pill to Ning Zike's bedside.
After a while, Yuan Rending also came out of his room. He gave Ning Zike acupuncture while checking his pulse.
"The Third Young Master must have suffered internal injuries after the competition. He needs to rest for some time before he can slowly recover."
"Thank you, Doctor Yuan!" Ning Xiaotang immediately bowed.
"Princess Roujia, you're welcome." Yuan Rending nodded immediately.
That night, Yuan Ke hurried to Ning's house with several secret guards, but he was killed by Ning's secret guards as soon as he appeared.
Yuan Ke was so frightened that he fled back in panic from a distance.
Ning Xiaotang was in her room, eating a bowl of light porridge.
"How is it?" Ning Xiaotang took a sip of porridge, then picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in her mouth.
Ling Hu immediately bowed and said, "My dear lady, the five secret guards from Xiliu Village have all been killed!"
"Very good, I wonder if Yuan Ke dares to send someone else to die!"
Xiliu Village
"Yuan Ke, why did you come back alone?" Zhao Xiaoxiao was immediately furious when she saw Yuan Ke's panicked look in the yard.
"My dear, our secret guards were killed instantly the moment they entered Shangshui Manor!"
"What? He was killed instantly?" Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately swept the teacup on the table to the ground in anger.
The sound of a porcelain cup breaking was heard.
"Miss, be careful not to hurt your hand!" The maid beside her immediately stepped forward to check Zhao Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Get out of the way! A cup of tea can't hurt me!" Zhao Xiaoxiao was very angry.
The maid had no choice but to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
"Ye Zhong, go call Nanny Ye to come over and discuss things!"
The maid named Ye Zhong immediately took the porcelain piece in her hand and said, "Yes, young lady."
Ye Zhong went out for a while and then saw Ye Yi walking in quickly: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Ye Yi is a woman in her thirties and a young nanny.
"Madam Ye, all the secret guards sent to Shangshui Manor to assassinate Ning Zike are dead!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said unhappily.
"What? This Shangshui Manor is well-defended, yet they actually killed five of our secret guards?"
"That's right. All of a sudden, there are five fewer people available around me!" Zhao Xiaoxiao's breathing became heavier.
“But girl, these five people are quite skilled, how could they be killed?
Could it be that the number of guards defending Shangshui Manor is more than the ones we have detected on the surface?"
Ye Yi's words made the naughty Zhao Xiaoxiao nod immediately: "This is the only possibility, otherwise my secret guards are not made of paper, how can we explain their instant death!"
"That's right. How about the girl go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and get more secret guards to settle the score?" Ye Yi's heart was secretly tense.
"Why not send secret guards to carry out a second assassination?"
"Miss, you can't leave your secret guards by your side. Everyone has enemies. Or maybe someone from Shangshui Manor sent secret guards to assassinate you? We servants and retainers alone can't resist them."
Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately gritted her teeth in hatred: "Hmph! Let's put it aside for now. When I have enough people, I will definitely kill Ning Xiaotang and Ning Zike!"
Ning Zike's courtyard
"Ye You, let Third Brother take this medicine." Ning Xiaotang pointed at the medicine prepared by Quan Yue and asked Ye You to help Ning Zike take the medicine.
Ye You immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes, young lady."
Then Ye You carefully gave the medicine to Ning Zike, and Doctor Yuan immediately inserted silver needles into several major acupoints of Ning Zike.
"Very good! As long as the medicine is not vomited out, it will be slowly absorbed and your body will gradually get better."
Yuan Rending's silver needles were very effective and quickly stabilized Ning Zike's pain.
After a while, Ning Zike's eyes faintly opened: "Where is this?"
"Third brother, are you awake?" Ning Xiaotang immediately moved her cute little face over.
"Tangtang, is it really you?" Ning Zike immediately reached out and touched Ning Xiaotang's little face.
"Third brother, are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort?"
"I used to feel a tight pain in my chest, but now that feeling is much less."
Yuan Rendong immediately stepped forward and said, "The blood clot has been vomited out, and of course the chest congestion has improved. But you still need to be extra careful these few days and rest well! You must not practice!"
"Yes, thank you, Doctor Yuan!" Ning Zike said politely immediately.
"You're welcome! Lie down quickly!" said Yuan Rending.
Ning Xiaotang immediately said, "Don't worry, Doctor Yuan isn't that stubborn old man. The fact that you've recovered is proof that his medical skills are top-notch!"
Yuan Rendong immediately raised his face and smiled: "As expected, Tangtang still knows my heart well!"
After Ning Zike swallowed bowl after bowl of medicine, she was able to eat in the second half of the night.
