Chapter 51: The Marquis's Adopted Daughter and the Cold Prince 23
"If you kneel down and kowtow to me and beg for mercy, I may consider sparing your wife and children, how about that?" Xiao Wen Gerao said with interest.
In fact, he had no intention of killing Cha Jiu.
Lord Chen Qu specifically instructed that Ning Changting's stunningly beautiful wife be brought to him so that he could enjoy her to his heart's content.
But Xiao Wen Ge just wanted to see Ning Changting begging for mercy humbly for this little hope, and finally falling into a look of utter despair.
Cha Jiu looked at him coldly, with a cold look of contempt on his handsome face: "None of us will beg you today. A son of the Marquis's family will not be ashamed of the world even if he dies. And what about you?"
Every word she said was heart-wrenching: "Shameful traitor, incompetent ant, even if you become successful in the future, you can't change your inferiority, cowardice, mediocrity and inferiority in your bones. In your life, you will never be able to win by relying on your poor talents. You can only rise to power by despicable means like a rat in the gutter. How pathetic you are, a sly and cowardly person!"
Ning Changting did not stop her.
This is the innate moral foundation of the Qingliu family.
Even when facing life-threatening situations, I will never bow down to despicable people.
Ning Changting agreed with every word Cha Jiu said.
Xiao Wen-ge was so angry that he raised his long knife and said, "Except for the pregnant woman, kill everyone else!"
He wants Ning Changting to die without a burial place today!
Following this roar, the cavalrymen behind Xiao Wen Ge drew their swords and attacked.
Han Ping and Ning Changting drew their swords, and even Yongan and Xiaomei nervously picked up sticks and started fighting.
The ancestor of the Jingyuan Marquisate was a general who founded the country, and the servants around the masters all had some knowledge of martial arts.
They tacitly protected Cha Jiu in the middle and resisted the attacks from cavalry from all directions.
Cha Jiu tried his best to calm down and asked quietly: "System, is there any tool that can quietly deal with these soldiers?"
The system quickly searched the prop store: "Since you have all taken anti-epidemic drugs before and are immune to the virus, I now recommend an acute epidemic spray bomb. It will be thrown on the ground silently and make ordinary people dizzy and vomit within five minutes, making them lose their ability to fight."
"Hurry, hurry, exchange it."
The next second, five black marbles appeared in Cha Jiu's hand. She took advantage of the chaos around her to throw the marbles out.
Soon, a white mist filled with viruses slowly rose from the nearby mountains and forests.
At first, Xiao Wen Ge thought it was just ordinary mountain fog, but unexpectedly the horse under him started to get agitated, whirring and turning in circles, and soon became paralyzed and fell to the ground.
Not only his horse, but also the horses of other officers and soldiers suffered the same problem. In some cases, both the horses and the riders fainted and fell to the ground, starting to vomit.
"Miasma! It's poisonous miasma!" Finally someone reacted.
They mistook the virus-carrying mist for forest miasma.
Xiao Wen Ge quickly tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes and tied it around his face to cover his mouth and nose, but because he had inhaled a small amount of mist, he still felt dizzy and his head was spinning.
Ning Changting also knew the toxicity of the miasma, and his first reaction was to tear off the cloth and tie it around Cha Jiu.
These officers and soldiers lost their horses and inhaled miasma, and their attack power was instantly greatly reduced.
In addition, Ning Changting and his men were quite skilled and were not affected by the miasma, so the people brought by Xiao Wen Ge were quickly dealt with.
Xiao Wen Ge couldn't believe it.
He didn't expect that a sudden miasma would turn a favorable situation around.
Is it possible that even the heavens are on the side of Ning Chang Pavilion?
He is unwilling!
Forced into a desperate situation, Xiao Wen Ge had lost his mind. With a sinister look on his face, he drew his bow and arrow, aiming at Ning Changting.
Ning Changting knew that he wanted to shoot him, so he dealt with the remaining officers and soldiers while keeping on guard with his remaining eyes.
However, the next second, Xiao Wen Ge turned the arrow towards Cha Jiu's belly.
His laughter was sinister and cheerful: "Ning Changting, I lost, but you can't win either!"
The sharp arrow flew out!
Ning Changting never expected that Xiao Wenge would change direction at the last minute. Seeing that the arrow was about to pierce Cha Jiu, he could only jump over to block it with his body!
Cha Jiu had already exchanged for the Golden Bell Cover and closed his eyes, waiting for the trigger for a long time, but he heard a dull groan of pain.
She opened her eyes and saw that the arrow had pierced Ning Changting's shoulder blade. He gritted his teeth and pulled the arrow out of his flesh with his backhand.
At the same time, he swung the long sword in his hand and pierced Xiao Wen Ge's left chest.
The self-important Xiao Wen Ge still had a crazy smile on his face, but his eyes gradually lost focus and he fell down.
Cha Jiu used trembling hands to block the bleeding wound on Ning Changting.
"Don't worry, the injury is not fatal." Ning Changting endured the pain and tried his best to maintain a calm tone.
Cha Jiu knew that he was just pretending.
There was a flickering flame on the mountaintop in the distance; that was where the remaining troops of Marquis Jingyuan were stationed.
Han Ping and Yong An supported Ning Changting, Xiao Mei protected Cha Jiu, and the group finally reached a safe place.
Marquis Jingyuan's deputy general saw Ning Changting from a distance and exclaimed, "My Lord!"
"The prince has arrived!"
"And the young lady and Lord Han!"
Seeing that his wife and children were safe, Ning Changting, who was struggling to hold on, finally collapsed.
That night, Shengjing was in chaos and the streets were filled with blood.
The people hid in their homes, trembling with fear as they listened to the sound of horse hooves and fighting outside.
The long night finally passed, and the tightly closed gate of the palace opened. Marquis Jingyuan appeared riding a tall horse, covered in blood, holding the head of King Song in his hand.
"The rebel King Song is dead. May God bless His Majesty!"
Marquis Jingyuan's roar was like a cannon, piercing through the sky and echoing throughout the imperial city.
The people opened their doors one by one, knelt on the ground, and followed in reverence: "God bless the emperor!"
"God bless your Majesty!"
"God bless your Majesty!"
…
As the plot of King Song's rebellion was thwarted, the remaining rebels were also executed one by one.
Chen Qu, Ning Changwen and others were paraded through the streets and then executed by being torn apart by a chariot. Their wives, children and family members were either exiled or reduced to slavery and sold one by one.
Lady Zou burst into tears after hearing the news. She couldn't understand why she didn't have the destiny of wealth and honor when she was as beautiful and could give birth to as many children as the first wife.
But the strangest thing is another thing.
Xiao Wen-ge's body is missing.
Han Ping sent people to the mountains to collect the rebels' bodies. The number matched one by one, except for Xiao Wen Ge's.
But he saw clearly that night that Xiao Wen Ge's chest had been stabbed, and there was absolutely no possibility of him being alive.
After this incident, the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion had made another contribution, and the emperor specially held a banquet to commend them, awarded the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion with a plaque with the words "Loyalty and Bravery", and rewarded it with fertile fields, manors, and 10,000 taels of gold.
After Ning Changting recovered from his injury, he was promoted to the second-rank Minister of Personnel and Prince Taifu.
For a time, the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion was unrivaled in Shengjing and became the leading family in one leap.
Many families were envious, but when they thought that Ning Changting had no heir, and that the family's glory would eventually fall into the hands of a side branch, they felt balanced again.
They don't know yet that Cha Jiu is pregnant.
At that time, something urgent happened in the Marquis Jingyuan's Mansion. Cha Jiu had just found out that she was pregnant. In order to ensure a stable pregnancy, she did not announce it to the public.
Apart from the people in the Marquis' Mansion and the Empress, no one else knew that Xiao Chajiu went to the quarantine center with her child.
Shen Chi Su didn't know either.
Therefore, she looked at the Marquis' Mansion which had regained its splendor from afar, then looked down at her six-month pregnant belly, and she couldn't help but feel something.
Perhaps, she could use this fertile body to return to the mansion and take back the things that originally belonged to her...
