The moment Nan Qing's toes touched the ground, three gleaming longswords slashed at her from different angles!
"Qing'er, be careful!" Her mother's voice came from her right side.
Seeing the three swords coming at her, Nan Qing neither dodged nor evaded. With a flick of her wrist, she drew three silver arcs in the air with "Frost Blossom".
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three sharp sounds of swords clashing rang out almost simultaneously. The three long swords snapped in two. Before the three men disguised as bandits could react, Nan Qing spun around and stood up.
Almost instantly, a line of blood appeared on the throats of all three of them.
Nanqing's sword tip pointed diagonally at the ground, and drops of blood slid down the blade, splashing onto the yellow earth like bright red plum blossoms.
"Qing'er"
"Nanqing"
The voices of Shi's father and mother rang out behind her almost simultaneously. Nan Qing turned her head and saw that her father and mother were each holding a long knife that they had snatched from the villains, and the knife was already stained with blood.
Nan Qing quickly approached her parents. After finishing off one of the attackers, she stood beside them and whispered:
"Father, these people..."
“They are assassins.” General Shi’s calm voice responded to her. He squatted down and tore open the bandit’s outer garment on the ground, revealing a black garment with dark patterns underneath.
Shi Yuanhuai sneered. He hadn't expected that the Yan Emperor was still not at ease after exiling them thousands of miles away, and even sent assassins disguised as bandits to silence them!
Before Nanqing could say anything more, she saw several people approach the carriage.
So she told her parents to "be careful" and then moved closer to the carriage again, quickly taking care of the men one by one.
The attackers came in droves, almost one wave after another, as soon as one group was killed.
The carriage that Nanqing was guarding was surrounded by corpses, but the people still rushed over regardless, as if they had already identified who was inside.
Besides Jun Beichen's place, there's also General Shi and Madam Shi's place.
Everyone in the General's Mansion had their faces and bodies stained with crimson blood, some their own, some from others.
Just as Lian Nanqing was feeling a bit tired, a group of people on horseback approached them rapidly from a distance.
Each of them wore a half-mask of black iron and dressed in black, close-fitting clothes.
Upon approaching, they engaged in fierce combat with the attacking assassins, employing ruthless tactics and quickly wiping out the group of assassins disguised as bandits.
After the last assassin was dealt with, the leader of the group dressed in black turned and walked towards Nan Qing.
When he was still three steps away from the carriage, the man suddenly knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed his head, saying:
"Your subordinate is late, please punish me, sir!"
The carriage curtain twitched slightly, and a hand with distinct knuckles lifted a corner, revealing Jun Beichen's exquisitely sculpted face half-hidden in the shadows, his voice carrying an invisible pressure.
"Okay, clear the area."
Jun Beichen's voice was still as clear and calm as ever, but Nan Qing could detect a slightly different meaning in it.
As she turned to look at him, Jun Beichen, who had been aloof and indifferent just moments before, suddenly softened his gaze and uttered a soft, weak sentence:
"Qingqing, may I get down now...?"
At this moment, Jun Beichen reverted to his harmless and gentle appearance. Nan Qing sheathed the Frostflower Sword in her hand and slightly raised her head to indicate that he could get down.
Jun Beichen was still wearing a flowing white robe, which seemed out of place in this carnage scene filled with corpses and blood.
But he slowly stepped over the filthy corpses and pools of blood beneath his feet and stood before Nan Qing.
Seeing a few drops of blood on Nan Qing's face, Jun Beichen was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe them off for her.
But then, his gaze suddenly changed, and his right hand quickly wrapped around Nan Qing's waist, trying to pull her to the side to avoid it.
Before he could even turn to dodge, Nan Qing saw a sharp arrow shooting rapidly behind him and suddenly tackled him to the ground, dodging the cold arrow that was shot from a distance!
Not only did she see this scene, but Jun Beichen's men and the entire group from the General's Mansion also saw a cold arrow shot towards their master/young lady/daughter!
So at the same time she tackled Jun Beichen, multiple voices came from all around.
"master!"
"Qing'er!!"
"Nan Qing, be careful!"
"Miss!!"
But as soon as everyone shouted that, they pulled their raised feet back, and they all turned around in unison to start talking to the people next to them, pretending to be very busy.
General Shi's entire face even wrinkled up.
He looked at the two of them, Nan Qing and Nan Qing, lying together, and sighed deeply a few times before walking away as his wife pulled him.
Sigh~
My dear daughter, there's no need for us to be in such a rush!
In broad daylight, what kind of behavior is this?! What kind of behavior is this?!
The group of guards wearing black iron masks, apart from those who went to capture the person who secretly fired the arrow, surrounded Qingbai, Qingying, and Qingfeng, and asked them in low voices how the matter had unfolded.
Do they have a mistress now?
But... their master seems a bit lacking in virility.
Meanwhile, Mingxia, along with the others from the General's Mansion, was carrying the corpses while secretly glancing towards their young lady.
She said her young lady was really fierce!
Last time, she was interrupted by the madam, but this time, Miss still managed to pounce on the idle prince.
The young lady said she wasn't in a hurry, but she didn't believe her!
Although she claimed it was to dodge arrows, she swore her young mistress did it on purpose!
Otherwise, how could it be such a perfect coincidence that they just happened to pounce and kiss each other? Right?
On the other hand, if Miss is in such a hurry, wouldn't it be too late to tie her to the bed once they arrive in Lingnan?
or.......
Nan Qing had no idea what Ming Xia was thinking about her in her heart.
But she knew that the current situation was absurdly dramatic.
She blinked, looking closely at Jun Beichen, who was pinned beneath her. She was about to say something when her lips moved, making the atmosphere between them even more ambiguous.
The next moment, she clearly felt Jun Beichen lightly bite her lip!
Nan Qing quickly got off him, but in her panic, she kept touching Jun Beichen's chest, thighs, and other areas.
When she regained her footing and looked down at Jun Beichen, who was still lying peacefully, his clothes were already wrinkled and crumpled.
If you ignore the smirk on his lips and only look at his pale face and disheveled clothes, he really looks like he's just been ravaged by her.
Nan Qing kicked him with her foot and said disdainfully:
"Jun Beichen, stop pretending, get up! You may be shameless, but I still have my pride!"
After saying this, Nan Qing ignored him and turned to leave.
All she wants now is to leave this place that's driving her crazy!
