"You...you are Miss An, right?"
"Yes, so what? No, so what? Tell me your purpose, and I might spare your life." Quietly, An Tingyu had already aimed the silver needle at the man's acupuncture points. Maybe she couldn't do it from a long distance, but if she was at close range, she still had some strength.
Is there any movement in the eldest lady's room?
Dang Yan, who had just passed by on patrol, frowned slightly, and with a slight movement of his thumb, the sword in his hand was half unsheathed.
"They say that Miss An is the most powerful person in the world. If you are, then please save our villagers!" The man suddenly knelt down in front of An Tingyu, kowtowed to her violently, and dropped the knife in his hand.
An Tingyu frowned slightly, then walked to the side and lit the oil lamp. Looking at the man who was still kneeling on the ground, An Tingyu asked calmly: "What's your name?"
"My name is Datong, and I'm a villager in Xingfu Village." The man who called himself Datong quickly replied.
"Happy Village? Isn't that a model village? I heard that the crops there are abundant and the yields are high. If that's the case, why do you need my aid? You should still be quite wealthy, right?"
"That's how it should have been, but three years ago, our county magistrate suddenly passed away. After the new magistrate took office, Xingfu Village was already in dire straits. Although we still looked wealthy on the surface, none of the things in the house were ours. If something was accidentally broken, we had to pay for it. Over time, we were deeply in debt and couldn't even afford to eat."
"I see. No wonder the Nether Palace never noticed. He's just a superficial magistrate." An Tingyu curled her lips coldly and said, "Datong, go back first. Remember, act as if nothing happened and don't let anyone know you've seen me."
"So what do you mean?" Hope rose in Datong's eyes, but he didn't dare to hold too much hope until An Tingyu nodded.
"I, An Tingyu, have taken care of this matter. Go back without worry!"
"Thank you, Miss An, thank you, Miss An!" Datong said thank you several times before leaving An Tingyu's Zhuchun Pavilion.
"Come out!" An Tingyu said lightly.
Dang Yan flashed and stood in front of her, "Miss, do you need Dang Yan to track you down?"
An Tingyu waved her hand, and then said meaningfully: "No need, it's just that this Happy Village doesn't seem to be that happy!"
The next day, Jing Aotian heard about the assassination attempt as soon as he entered the door, and his face changed immediately. Although it was just a false alarm in the end, he couldn't help blaming himself in his heart. If he had been there at the time, this would not have happened.
For this reason, Jing Aotian secretly vowed that no matter how busy he was in the future, he would return home at sunset.
"You mean, you want to go to Xingfu Village? With your current skills, it's too dangerous." Jing Aotian frowned after understanding what An Tingyu meant.
Jing Aotian did not agree with An Tingyu going in person. One reason was that her body had not yet recovered. She was now just an ordinary person. Anyone with a little strength could kill her, so he was really worried.
"According to the astrology, Miss An should not go east recently, although I don't know what will happen." Xing Mo said at this time.
"Look, even Xing Mo said that. Xingfu Village is just to the east, so we definitely can't go there. Let's not go there. Just leave this matter to the people below." For the first time, Jing Aotian felt that he was on the same front with Xing Mo, and it was also the first time that he felt that Xing Mo's words made sense.
Hearing this, An Tingyu glanced at Xing Mo. Xing Mo now had black hair and looked like an ordinary person, except...
"Xing Mo, your eyes will be damaged if they are tied for a long time. You should take them off!"
After dyeing Xingmo's silver hair black, Xingmo no longer wore a hat, but his eyes were tied with a blue gauze. Although the gauze was light-transmissive, the blue color made people unable to pay attention to his eyes. As long as the distance was not too far, they could be seen, but how could he keep his eyes tied like this?
If you hold it in for a long time, you will get sick.
"No, this is fine!"
But seeing that he insisted, An Tingyu sighed and said nothing. She just continued: "I have already promised Datong. Since I promised, I must keep it. Otherwise, wouldn't I be a person who breaks his promise?"
"But……"
"Don't say but," An Tingyu interrupted Jing Aotian, "I know what you want to say. Maybe life is more important than anything else, but there is something more important than life, and that is promise. If a person can't even keep her promise, then her life is over."
People value honesty and are ashamed of hypocrisy. Just talking without doing is hypocrisy, and she will never allow herself to be a hypocrite.
Hearing this, Jing Aotian had no choice but to say: "In that case, I will go with you."
"Don't say such willful words. I know you have been very busy recently. I heard that there was a flood in the district city, and the emperor handed this matter over to you. You actually came here to say goodbye today, right?" An Tingyu said helplessly.
This man...
It's good to put her first, but is he trying to disobey the order?
What an idiot!
"……yes!"
"In that case, you should set off quickly! The people there also need your help."
"But……"
"Don't be so nagging. I'll take Fengyun and Yuqing with me. Will you feel at ease now?" An Tingyu interrupted him helplessly and added, "Of course, Dangyan will go too."
"I'll go too!" At this time, Xing Mo spoke again, "I can observe the celestial phenomena. If the situation becomes serious, I will kidnap you even if I have to tie you up."
