Chapter 124: No need for power and influence, no need to give way to dukes and marquises
"A bunch of rubbish."
The humiliation in this sentence is not too heavy, but it is definitely not light either.
Although Wei Changtian said this, he actually knew in his heart that the speed at which these three groups of people came from was already quite fast.
After all, it is a "secret sentry". In order to ensure concealment, some reaction time will naturally be sacrificed.
What's more, from the time the assassin shot the first arrow to the end of the battle, it was no more than a hundred breaths, which was indeed too short.
But we still have to scold when we should.
"Protect me?"
Wei Changtian wiped the Dragon Roar on an assassin's clothes and returned the knife to its sheath.
"You might as well come later and collect my body directly."
"I, we."
The three big men lowered their heads, feeling bitter in their hearts but not daring to argue. They could only beg for mercy: "We know we are wrong! We hope you will forgive us!"
"snort."
Wei Changtian glanced at the three of them and said, "Forget it, let's just forget about it this time."
"If your master asks me about what happened today, I will just say that you arrived just in time and I hope you will live up to my hiding it for you this time."
“.”
The three men were all stunned when they heard this.
They thought they were going to be in big trouble this time, but unexpectedly Wei Changtian just scolded them verbally and did not really punish them.
He even took the initiative to conceal their "dereliction of duty"! You have to know that although the three of them belonged to the Xuanjing Division, the Qingpao Army, and the Tianluo Sect, the tasks they received at the time were basically the same -
Protect Wei Changtian at all costs!
If Wei Changtian exaggerated what happened today and told Liang Zhen, Chen Bo and Qin Zhengqiu, the three of them would at least be skinned alive, if not die to atone for their sins.
And now, not only is it “no fault”, it has become “merit”! “Please rest assured, sir!”
The three of them expressed their opinions loudly at the same time, and then finally stood up from the ground slowly.
Wei Changtian waved his hand and ignored them, but Ning Qingyu, who saw all this, was a little surprised.
"Use both kindness and severity to govern subordinates in a proper way"
A quarter of an hour later.
Under the protection of the three groups of people, several carriages left the foot of Nanshan Mountain and drove slowly towards Shuzhou City.
The people from the royal palace who came with them and the bodies of nearly a hundred assassins were dealt with by the government, and the injuries of the "survivors" had already been treated with simple bandages.
In fact, except for Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke, no one else was seriously injured.
Ning Qingyu was wearing a lining armor that was considered a treasure. He was shot with such a fierce arrow that not even a trace was left. Wei Changtian was envious of him.
As for Ning Yuzhu and Ning Yuling, nothing happened to them except for some scrapes in the carriage.
Of course, there may be no injuries on the outside, but the psychological trauma should still be quite serious.
"Wuwuwu, Master Wei. I, I'm so scared."
In the carriage, Ning Yuzhu had been crying all the way. In the end, regardless of the other people around her, she threw herself into Wei Changtian's arms and sobbed.
As a princess, she had been spoiled since childhood and had never encountered such a scene. It was obvious that she was really scared.
"Princess."
Wei Changtian looked at Ning Qingyu awkwardly. Seeing that the latter didn't react, he gently patted Ning Yuzhu's shoulder and whispered a word of comfort.
"It's all over now."
“Woo woo woo!”
Ning Yuzhu didn't respond, but just continued crying, and her tears soon soaked Wei Changtian's clothes.
“.”
Logically speaking, holding a beautiful woman in your arms should be a good thing, but Wei Changtian frowned at this time.
He always felt that there was something weird about this assassination, but Ning Yuzhu's crying made it impossible for him to think, and a sense of annoyance rose in his heart.
It feels like you are in a very important meeting, but your girlfriend keeps calling you to complain that she failed to lose weight because she drank one extra cup of milk tea today.
If it were someone else, Wei Changtian would have pushed the person away long ago.
But Ning Yuzhu is a princess after all, and Ning Qingyu is right next to her, so she has to give him some face.
Wei Changtian was in a dilemma. Fortunately, Ning Yuke also sat next to him at this time. She put her hand on Ning Yuzhu's shoulder and gently advised:
"Yuzhu, Master Wei is injured, don't bother him."
"sister!"
Ning Yuzhu just wanted to find someone to vent her emotions, and she was not picky about the target. She immediately turned around and threw herself into Ning Yuke's arms.
Wei Changtian, feeling relieved, nodded gratefully to Ning Yuke, who hugged her sister and apologized quietly:
"Master Wei, women are naturally timid, I hope you won't blame me."
"No problem."
"Today's events."
"No need to say that."
Wei Changtian shook his head and interrupted, "I am also trying to save myself."
“.”
Ning Yuke raised her head and remained silent for a moment, but still insisted on finishing her words: "Thank you, sir."
“.”
After a few brief exchanges, the two stopped talking, but they still stared at each other for a few breaths before looking away.
Taking a look at the white cloth wrapped around Ning Yuke's hand, Wei Changtian suddenly realized that Princess Rouan seemed to have not been crying.
This is not rigorous.
She seemed to cry when she was fighting with the assassin, but she never cried again after the assassin died.
He didn't even frown when applying medicine and bandaging the wound on the palm of his hand.
Wei Changtian had seen that wound.
Not to mention such a weak woman, even Xu Qingwan and Liang Qin, who had practiced martial arts, would probably not be able to endure such an injury.
This woman is quite interesting.
But her reaction wasn't the most unexpected one today.
Wei Changtian glanced at Ning Qingyu, who had a calm face, and turned his head to look out the car window.
Shuzhou City is not far ahead, and the midday sun is bright and golden.
The moat was calm and the soldiers guarding the city looked lazy.
In such a peaceful and prosperous era, most people can live a good life as long as they don't do anything stupid.
But, without power, you may not be able to survive.
It was almost dusk when Wei Changtian sent Ning Qingyu and others back to the palace and then returned to his own house.
Liang Zhen and Chen Bo came very quickly. They ran over before he had even finished his tea. Seeing that he really had no major problems, they breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss today's affairs.
The three of them discussed for a while in the room, and finally came to a unanimous conclusion -
No matter who sent this group of assassins, Shuzhou City will be in a state of considerable shock for some time to come.
Fortunately, it has little to do with them. After all, there is currently no indication that this incident has any connection with Wei Changtian.
At least it was definitely not the work of the Liu family.
Of course, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with it. At least Wei Changtian’s plan of “living off a gigolo” will have to be put on hold for a while until things are clear.
Alas, he was almost able to "ride the princess". After seeing the two off, Wei Changtian sighed in the room.
"Young Master, why are you sighing?" Yuan'er asked with a distressed and puzzled look on her face.
"nothing."
Wei Changtian shook his head and suddenly asked a question inexplicably.
"Yuan'er, are you afraid of pain?"
"Sir, this is a really strange question."
Yuan'er smiled and said, "Who isn't afraid of pain?"
“Is that so.”
