This visitor is not friendly.
Seeing the captain of the guard's expression, Ning Hongze's heart also tightened.
"Captain, these people have broken into my house without permission!"
"No need to say anything more." The captain of the guard waved his hand. "Tell me, why did you tie these people up?"
"What? You're asking me why I tied these people up?" Ning Hong suddenly raised her voice, which was particularly loud in the middle of the night.
In an instant, the surrounding neighbors rustled and many people were awakened by the noise, throwing on their clothes and coming out to see what was going on.
"What are you yelling about? Keep your voice down."
"Why I was being quiet is none of my business. These people suddenly barged into our house. We finally managed to subdue them and tie them up, and the captain actually asked me why I tied them up?" Aman sneered, brandishing his heavy sword. "Doesn't the captain have eyes? Can't he see what's going on?"
"Or is it that, Captain, you and he are in cahoots, conspiring to break into homes and steal?"
Ning Hong then spoke, word by word.
The guards and thieves were in cahoots; these words sent chills down the spines of those eavesdropping at the door.
In their town, even the guards can't be relied upon anymore?
"Don't listen to their nonsense. They're the ones who captured me and tied us up."
The bound man vehemently denied it.
“I tied you up? That’s ridiculous. I stayed up all night, went to your homes, tied you all up, and brought you here. Oh, and I even helped you put your clothes on.”
Indeed, these people are all dressed neatly, not like they just woke up. When you just wake up, you should be like them, all disheveled. Oh, they even combed their hair, it just seems a little messy because of the fight.
But without a doubt, it's clear from all of this that they are dressed neatly.
Therefore, these people had to wear clothes and comb their hair before going to sleep. In contrast, Ning Hong's hair was haphazardly disheveled, and Anman simply put on a coat without wearing her usual fiery red armor.
"you?"
These people are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
“That’s right. Since it’s true that these people broke into someone’s house and stole, then I’ll take them both back.” The head guard originally intended to take both of them away.
As long as you follow him, whether you live or die will be up to him. After all, it's normal to encounter a few bandits on the road. Otherwise, you can just blame it on the monsters.
But now, it's clear they won't leave with them.
With so many people watching from the doorway, who knows what these villagers will say if these two people meet with misfortune after leaving with him?
"In that case, you should be more careful in the future and avoid doing anything that might cause misunderstandings."
"Is the captain threatening us?" Ning Hong sneered. "These people broke into our homes, and instead of standing up for us, the captain is threatening us."
"What nonsense are you spouting now?"
“I’m not making this up; anyone with eyes can see that.”
"So what do you want?" The captain of the guard team looked at Ning Hongze with annoyance.
The plan had completely failed. They didn't know how the mayor would punish them. Thinking of this, the guard captain couldn't help but feel even more resentful towards Ning Hongze and her brother. "Why didn't you just let them take him away peacefully? Why did you have to cause all this trouble?"
Ning Hong didn't need to think too much. Just by looking at the captain of the guard's expression, she could guess what he was thinking. Did these people really think they were fools?
You can let them knead you without any resistance.
Watching the head guard lead the group away, Ning Hong seemed lost in thought.
"elder brother?"
“Amman, we can’t stay in this town any longer. We have to leave eventually.”
"It's okay, I'll go wherever my brother goes."
She and her brother had relied on each other for so many years, and she was used to it. In this world, the most important person was her brother; he was the reason for her existence.
But without thinking, that face and those soft lips suddenly popped into my head.
Amman froze. How could she have thought of this person?
She waved her hand forcefully, trying to shake off the thoughts that shouldn't be in her mind.
"Amman, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine." Anman's eyes flickered, looking left and right but not daring to look at her brother's face.
Ning Hong couldn't help but chuckle at the honest expression on Ning Hong's face.
To outsiders, Amman appears very serious, but once you get to know her, you'll find that she has a really lovely personality.
She loves to cry and laugh, she can't lie, and she doesn't know how to act cute.
It's his fault. Because of him, she developed this kind of personality.
Because the only person I can rely on is a fool.
“Amman, we are siblings. What can’t you tell your brother?”
"But I'm embarrassed."
Amman's gaze drifted even more rapidly.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Can't you even tell your brother?"
"Brother, I've been thinking about someone lately," Anman said shyly, covering her face which had turned bright red.
"Who is it?" Ning Hongze's face stiffened instantly. Had he misheard? His sister had told him that she thought about someone every day.
Seeing her shy expression, he didn't think she was thinking about someone unrelated.
"Is it a man?"
Amman nodded shyly again.
It's not wrong to be a man.
When did this happen? While he wasn't paying attention, his sister, this beautiful cabbage, was eaten by a pig?
Is it She-Ra?
"How did my brother know?" Anman asked curiously. She felt that her brother had become incredibly capable since his recovery, and he seemed to know a lot of things.
It really was this man.
Ultimately, it's because Amman has met far too few good men.
She fell for the rare kindness shown to her.
In this small town, there were quite a few men interested in Amman. However, they all had conditions for marrying Amman: she was not allowed to bring her brother with her.
His arrogant demeanor made it seem as if his willingness to marry Amman was a tremendous favor to her.
Amman didn't hold back and used his heavy sword to send the man flying.
Or, like Rock, he would force her into marriage, forcing her to flee and drugging her.
She rarely encountered a man who treated her this way, so she couldn't help but pay more attention to him. Of course, there was also a very important point: She-Ra was indeed quite good-looking.
Why would you want to think about him?
Ning Hong wanted to say more, but then she thought that Xi Rui was not a bad person, but he was too arrogant and domineering and needed to be disciplined.
Of course, the key point is that he must be completely devoted to Amman.
