Chapter 382 The War Begins
"Everyone follow me." Pei Ji said.
Tian'er was standing beside him with her sleeves covered, her hand gently holding the dagger, her eyes very alert.
Song Ci was protected in the center and surrounded by people as he walked towards the carriage.
"etc!"
Everyone looked back and saw several people in official uniforms calling out to them.
The leader came forward nonchalantly and asked, "Whose family are you from?"
Pei Ji said coldly: "The Pei family, something is wrong."
The leader smiled coldly, "Pei family, what a coincidence! Our master has specifically asked for you. Come with me."
Song Ci's hand exerted force and tightly grasped Pei Ji's sleeve.
She is nervous.
Pei Ji: "Who is your master?"
The officer's eyes were cold as he swept across Pei Ji's face and finally fell on Song Ci.
Compared with the hurried and disheveled people outside, Song Ci's flawless white face looked extremely noble.
The officer said, "Don't worry about it. Do you think you will disobey us? You have to think clearly. We are working for the royal family."
The royal family does things, but they don't do things for Your Majesty.
Moreover, judging from their appearance, it is not difficult to tell that they are a makeshift group who temporarily put on the clothes of officials.
These people are on the Queen's side.
Pei Ji's eyes were cold, "You want me to say no?"
The officer waved his hand, and the men behind him drew their swords. "Since you won't cooperate, I'll kill you without mercy."
Pei Ji was about to take action when he noticed Song Ci's trembling. He turned around and comforted her, "It's okay. Just follow me and close your eyes."
Song Ci's eyes sparkled, appearing somewhat watery amidst the surrounding flames. She reluctantly nodded, her voice choked with sobs.
"good."
The next second, she closed her eyes, grabbed Pei Ji's sleeve, and followed his pace.
The screams around and the exclamations of the crowd formed a strange and bloody melody.
Song Ci smelled a strong smell of blood and clenched his fingers even tighter.
Her cloth shoes were soaked through, the liquid was warm and sticky. She didn't know what it was, and she didn't dare to think about it. She just believed wholeheartedly in the man in front of her, believed that she could rely on him, and believed that he could lead her out of the siege.
Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
As they ran, the sword slashed across the air, and warm liquid splashed all over Song Ci's face. She couldn't control her scream, and suddenly she was embraced by a pair of warm and strong hands.
"Don't be afraid, Song Ci, I'm here."
Just as she was about to open her eyes, Pei Ji continued, "Don't look. I don't want these things to dirty your eyes. Your eyes are the cleanest I've ever seen, and I want them to stay clean."
Song Ci could vaguely feel the moisture in her eyes, and her voice couldn't help but tremble, "Pei Ji, will we be okay?"
Pei Ji touched her smooth hair and said, "Yes, I will protect you. Unless someone steps over my dead body, I will never let you get hurt before me."
Song Ci: "I don't want you to get hurt either."
Perhaps out of fear, she pressed herself tightly against Pei Ji's body, and the exchange of their temperatures made her feel inexplicably at ease.
Pei Ji lowered his head and looked at the cloth shoes on her feet.
"Your shoes are very nice, but it's a pity that they are dirty."
Song Ci choked up, "It's okay, as long as we are all safe." She asked again: "Wanxiang, where is Tian'er?"
The two men's voices were also filled with shock as they spoke, "Young Madam."
Song Ci smiled, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
I'm glad you're okay.
We walked and stopped along the way, and finally got on the carriage. The curtain was lowered, as if we were isolated from the world just now.
Pei Ji raised his hand to take off her shoes and quickly threw them out of the carriage.
Song Ci shrank her feet, and Pei Ji held her feet in his arms, "Don't be afraid."
Song Ci sobbed, thinking of her parents, her brother, and Qiao Yu's wife. How were they? Were they okay?
"I want to go home."
"You're worried about your parents-in-law."
"Yes." Song Ci nodded rapidly, panic in his eyes.
She had never been so scared before. She didn't want to lose any of the things she had worked so hard to obtain and the people she had protected.
Pei Ji gently stroked her head. "What you care about is what I care about too. I've already sent someone to inform them to close the door and not go out. Once we've settled them in, we'll bring them over, okay?"
Song Ci was very grateful, "Okay. I'll listen to you."
Her tears fell, and Pei Ji felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.
He hugged Song Ci tightly, letting her cry freely in his arms.
Pei Ji: "It's okay, cry if you want."
I closed my eyes just now, but I was extremely clear-headed about what was happening around me.
Something heavy fell to the ground and rolled to her feet: a human head. A warm liquid spilled at her feet: blood.
At this moment, human life is as light as a feather, floating lightly in the air, and disappearing in an instant.
She was very scared, terribly scared. She just wanted to live a good life, peacefully.
The carriage was not going very fast, so Pei Ji told the driver not to go too fast. He lowered his eyelids and saw that Song Ci had fallen asleep in his arms, with tears still hanging on her long eyelashes.
There were teeth marks on her rosy lips. She must have been very scared just now.
So pitiful.
Pei Ji hugged her tightly.
She didn't know how long she slept. When Song Ci struggled to wake up, there was a bed curtain above her head. She had many dreams, and there were all kinds of people in her dreams.
Song Rouxi and Uncle Song both showed up, and they were ready to attack Song Ci with their fangs and claws.
She kept running and running, and then she woke up.
"Young Madam, are you okay?" Wanxiang heard the noise and hurried to the bed.
Song Ci squeezed her hand and said, "We've arrived, right? Have you heard anything about my parents, brother, and sister-in-law?"
Wanxiang smiled and said, "My son-in-law has already brought people here. The yard is now surrounded by people. Madam, you can rest assured."
Song Ci sat up and wanted to go see her parents.
No one could sleep, and when they woke up in the morning, things had changed. Everyone sat in the yard.
When Song Ci arrived, Qiao Xianglan couldn't wait to hug her daughter in her arms and rub her to show her affection.
Song Ci was worried about her family, and Qiao Xianglan and the others were also worried about Song Ci.
No matter where a family is, their hearts are together.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Song Lan was accompanied by Qiao Yu, who looked at Song Ci with a worried look on her face. "We're relieved to see you're okay. Knowing what happened to the Pei family, your brother has been wanting to visit you. I told him to stay home and wait for you since everything is so chaotic. You'll let me know if anything happens to you."
Song Ci told the story of the Pei family again, and everyone was quite moved.
"The Pei family is already so prominent, yet Mr. Pei still takes the risk to do such a thing." Song Lao San also sighed.
The others had even more complicated looks.
The Pei family has been prominent for many years, and has been prominent since their ancestors. After something like this happened, everyone was worried that the Pei family would fall.
