Chapter 103 We Met the Bad Guys
Ning Jiang's face changed drastically, but Xiao Mingxuan acted as if he hadn't noticed and continued to speak to himself, "I just heard that Mr. Jiang got into trouble many years ago, was thrown into prison, and was beheaded. Magistrate Jiang, for the sake of justice, put his own family aside and personally oversaw the execution."
Ning Jiang, Jiang Ning.
Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "So it's you. You don't even know who that bastard Jiang Zhongguo used to buy your life, allowing you to linger on until today."
The Jiang family is not only a powerful family in the area, but also a clan from the south of the Yangtze River. In recent years, they have dominated the south of the Yangtze River and become local tyrants.
Jiang Ning chuckled twice, his sinister smile looking particularly terrifying in the darkness. The breeze blew the fine hair on his forehead, slightly obscuring his sinister eyes. "Originally, I wanted to lock you up and torture you slowly, but now that you know my biggest secret, I can't keep you here anymore."
I don’t know if it’s because there has been so much rain recently, but even the wind has become a bit more violent.
Xihe poked half of her head out from behind Xiao Mingxuan and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, bragging is not good. It will make your mouth bigger!"
Xiao Mingxuan stuffed the little guy's head back with his backhand, then took a slight step to the left, hiding the person completely.
Jiang Ning smiled instead of getting angry, "Little Princess, you'd better take a closer look. You never know when you might become speechless."
"Really?" Xihe didn't show his face, but his childish voice resounded in everyone's eardrums, "Then tell me, uncle, how are you going to kill me?"
The little girl leaned against Xiao Mingxuan's back, facing away from everyone, and pulled a strand of hair down to play with it.
Liu Yuan pulled Xu Qingcheng back and leaned against a pillar to watch the show. He knew that the little girl was stalling for time, so he stopped talking and only provoked her when appropriate.
Perhaps because he was confident, Jiang Ning actually felt a bit more interested in chatting. "Such a lovely little girl, naturally I should use a knife to cut off your flesh piece by piece until you bleed to death. In other words... cut you into pieces."
When Jiang Ning said the last four words, he deliberately prolonged his voice. Unexpectedly, the little girl's expression did not change, as if she was not afraid at all, and her voice was soft and unusually gentle.
"Is that so?" Xihe's voice was very faint. If there was a strong wind, it would probably be blown away. "What a pity... Uncle, you don't have a chance."
"What do you mean?" Ning Jiang's expression changed slightly.
Xiao Mingxuan was the closest, so he naturally saw the cold light that flashed behind the group of people. He took a step back with the little girl without leaving a trace.
Unexpectedly, Xihe didn't move. When he moved, half of the little girl's body was exposed. The little girl had a faint smile on her exposed face, and her clear eyes had a hint of ambiguity. When she spoke, it was as if a god had descended to the earth, and her voice was ethereal and long. "Uncle, the sharp blade you raised will one day be turned towards you."
Xu Qingcheng shouted, "Divine Martial Guards! Attack!"
The wind in my ears suddenly tightened, and the sharp arrow pierced the air. The gleaming blade connected with the delicate skin of my neck. Instantly, blood gushed out, and I fell to the ground, dead.
The formation was suddenly disrupted, and Jiang Ning panicked. He ignored his men and instead came towards Xihe with a knife in his hand, with madness in his eyes.
As long as he killed them, his mission would not be considered a failure.
How could Xu Qingcheng give him this opportunity? He raised his sword and attacked him. The moment the weapons touched, a spark burst out.
In order to avoid accidental injury, Xiao Mingxuan picked up Xihe and retreated to the house behind him. Liu Yuan stood in front of them, like a towering mountain, standing firm.
The sound of fighting continued in front for a long time, but Xiao Mingxuan's arms seemed to be the only pure land. As long as she relied on him, Xihe would feel more at ease than ever before.
"Little brother, put me down, nothing will happen." Xihe reached out to wipe the sweat from Xiao Mingxuan's forehead.
"It's okay, I'll hold you."
Over time, it became a habit, and Xiao Mingxuan would subconsciously hug people in his arms wherever he went.
The little girl pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Then I will eat less in the future~ so that little brother won't be tired."
Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a long time. He watched the little girl wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then smiled knowingly, "I'm sweating not because you're heavy. Just eat your food, I can carry you."
"Why is that? It's not hot now."
Summer clothes are thin, and Xihe could feel the dampness of Xiao Mingxuan's clothes on the back with just her touch. It was extremely cold in the mountains, so how could he sweat so much?
Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a while, without saying a word, secretly suppressing the violent poisonous insect in his body.
This was the condition of his alliance with that person, and it rarely broke out. Today, probably because he was too tired, the Gu worms didn't have enough nutrients, so they started to riot.
"I... am a little scared." Xiao Mingxuan knew the little girl's temper, so he had to make up a reasonable excuse on the spot.
Xihe really believed it and stopped clamoring to get down. Instead, she hugged Xiao Mingxuan's neck and patted his back gently, "Don't be afraid, little brother. We will be out soon."
The corners of Xiao Mingxuan's pale lips slowly curled up.
The Shenwu Guards acted extremely quickly. In about half an hour, they had the entire Dafeng Village under their control.
They took the tied Jiang Ning back to the secret room under the dense forest. The place had already been surrounded by the other half of the Divine Guards. Zhao Chengning was guarding the gold, silver and treasures inside.
"Big brother, where is the second royal brother?" Xihe opened his arms towards Zhao Chengning and Zhao Jinyuan, and Zhao Chengning took the lead and hugged them in his arms.
The little girl looked left and right but didn't see Zhao Jinyuan.
"Something happened at the villa, so I asked Jinyuan to go back and deal with it first." Because there were so many people talking, Zhao Chengning did not elaborate on the seriousness of the matter, but instead asked about another matter.
"What's going on? Your face is covered with dust?" Zhao Chengning frowned and looked at his sister's gray face. Even her pink skirt was covered with dirt. Looking up, he saw Xiao Mingxuan not far away was in an even worse state. Her gray-white clothes were mostly stained, and there were a few bloodstains on the hem.
"Big brother, we met a bad guy!" The little girl told everything they had experienced in Dafengzhai like pouring beans.
With every additional sentence, Zhao Chengning's expression grew darker.
When he heard that Xiao Mingxuan ignored him to protect Xihe, his expression was extremely complicated.
To be honest, Zhao Chengning's attitude towards the Ninth Prince is very subtle. It's not warm, but it's not to the point of bullying either. At most, he is indifferent. However, this person has a lot of contact with his own sister and obviously protects Xihe. It would be great if he was not the prince of Beili.
"Thank you for what you did today." Although Zhao Chengning had no feelings for the people of Beili, at least he could distinguish right from wrong. Xiao Mingxuan saved his sister, so he should be grateful.
Xiao Mingxuan looked down at him and said calmly, "No need."
He has always been a loner and has ignored anyone except Xihe over the years. Zhao Chengning knew this very well and was not angry.
Liu Yuan, who was standing by, kicked Jiang Ning. "Will you tell me where you put the remaining half of the gold and silver?"
The Shenwu Guards carefully checked the surrounding stone walls but couldn't find any mechanism at all. It was really strange.
