"mother!"
"daughter in law!"
Jiu Hua immediately flew towards Aunt Chi's direction, completely disregarding the arrows behind him.
At the same time, with a flick of the wrist, the throwing knife in the sunlight was so fast that it was invisible!
The rope binding Aunt Chi's ankles was cut by the throwing knife, and Aunt Chi finally stopped, choking on the billowing dust and barely able to breathe...
"Um!"
A muffled groan came from behind; Jiu Hua had been shot in the shoulder and was now kneeling on one knee.
"Girl, cough cough, are you... cough cough, are you alright?"
Aunt Chi staggered to her feet.
She had just stood up when she saw countless dark figures descend and surround her.
Aunt Chi was so frightened that she sat down with a thud.
Jiu Hua quickly reassured her, "Auntie, don't worry, this is one of our own."
Aunt Chi: ? ? ?
Where did these people come from?
Weren't these two girls just bought by my daughter yesterday? How come they both know kung fu? And what's with this "family" connection?
"Go after them quickly, and make sure to leave no survivors," Jiu Hua immediately ordered one of them.
The figures immediately dispersed by a third.
"Mother, mother!"
"daughter in law!"
Old Man Chi rushed over in a panic, carrying Chi Tang in his arms.
Jiuli, who followed behind, had a strange expression on his face.
The father and son rushed over in a panic, and she was terrified that Chi Tang would be shot.
But who knew that those arrows seemed to have eyes, circling around the father and son.
Instead, she accidentally got a scratch.
That's really strange.
"Mother, are you alright?"
"Honey, how's it going?"
Old Man Chi held Chi Tang in one arm, while using the other hand to keep tugging at Aunt Chi, trying to see if she was injured.
Aunt Chi slapped his hand away, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm not hurt."
Then, anxiously, she asked Chi Tang, "Daughter, those two girls both know martial arts! They don't seem like ordinary people..."
Chi Tang reached out and stroked her mother's arm, telling her not to worry: "Mother, I know, I know. These two people are sent by His Majesty to protect me. Don't make a fuss, just treat them like ordinary people."
"……ah!"
Aunt Chi and Uncle Chi exchanged a glance, both feeling reassured.
Was it someone sent by the Emperor to protect his daughter?
That's wonderful! Who in the world could possibly defeat His Majesty?
This means they no longer need to worry about their daughter's safety.
As for why the emperor sent people to protect his daughter, the two of them didn't think much about it.
Seeing that her parents were relieved, Chi Tang didn't explain further.
"Miss, this is medicine for your wounds. Applying it will help you heal faster."
Chi Tang waved to Jiu Hua and Jiu Li and handed them her medicine.
Jiuhua and Jiuli were not surprised at all, and accepted the gift after thanking them.
"Your subordinate is Jiuhua."
"Your subordinate is from Jiuli."
To be honest, these two people seemed to have no difference in personality; both were quiet and reserved, so Chi Tang couldn't tell them apart for a moment.
Chi Tang asked, "Do you ladies know who tried to assassinate us?"
She never imagined that one day she would experience an assassination attempt!
What kind of situation is this?
Why was she assassinated?
She didn't bother anyone.
"It's not clear yet." Jiu Hua shook his head. "I've already sent people to pursue them."
If we can capture them alive, it would likely lead to a breakthrough.
"who?"
Jiu Hua suddenly turned around, and instinctively swung his long sword.
Fortunately, Xingxing was alert and stepped aside, bending down to avoid it.
Jiu Hua stopped: "Sorry."
"Xingxing, are you alright?" Aunt Chi was startled.
Xingxing shook her head, looked at Aunt Chi's disheveled appearance carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that she was not injured.
Then he asked, "What happened?"
"I don't know. Someone tried to assassinate us, but these two young ladies protected us."
"Assassination?"
Her eyes were filled with shock.
What was so special about his grandparents and aunt that made them worth assassinating?
Who on earth would go to such lengths to assassinate them?
"Let's go first and talk about it later."
Stars gazed at the barren mountains, their vigilance undiminished.
As the group descended the mountain, they attracted the attention of others.
But Jiuli immediately took action.
After getting into the carriage, Aunt Chi felt like she had come back to life, and she sighed:
"Oh dear, what a mess this is."
"From now on, don't come here so easily," Old Man Chi said with a sigh, then asked his grandson and daughter, "Shouldn't we report it to the authorities?"
Chi Tang shook her head: "Jiuhua and the others will handle it."
With the secret guards sent by His Majesty here, why would they need to report to the authorities?
They just don't know who will target them.
For some reason, Chi Tang felt that it was aimed at her.
"What happened today reminds me of the assassination attempt on Tangtang three years ago. Tell me, why is everyone targeting our Tangtang?"
Aunt Chi held her daughter's hand tightly, her heart pounding with fear.
In such a situation, how could the parents protect their daughter?
Just thinking about it made Aunt Chi feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I think we should hire a few guards for our family," Old Man Chi said after pondering for a long time.
After thinking for a long time, he concluded that the best solution was to hire someone to protect his family.
Yes, that would cost a lot of money, but nothing is more important than family.
Chi Tang nodded, quite supportive: "Wow, Daddy is so smart!"
"You little brat, are you trying to embarrass your father here?"
