As the villagers watched the three large factories in the middle being burned down, some began to wipe away tears.
The first batch of refugees, in particular, were able to recover thanks to this factory.
Looking at the factory now, destroyed, I feel a sharp pain in my heart.
Su Muyao comforted everyone who was secretly wiping away tears, saying, "Don't worry, everyone. Although the damage was caused by bad guys, we'll start cleaning up tomorrow and resume work soon, so there's no need to worry."
After speaking, she left a few guards to patrol the area, and then Su Muyao took Xia Xia back to the Princess's residence.
Xia looked at the princess's dark face and didn't dare to speak the whole way back. Only after returning to her room did she ask in a low voice, "Princess, who do you think did this?"
Su Muyao slammed her hand on the table: "Who else could it be? It must be that prince who dared to mess with me."
Su Muyao suddenly realized that what this person was doing was nothing more than trying to threaten her, or making it impossible for her to survive in the Great Dynasty, so that she would go to his country.
If he doesn't care after the factory is burned down, shouldn't his next move be to target himself or his family?
Thinking of this, he said to Xia, "Tomorrow, go to Peach Blossom Village and gather two teams of trained soldiers to patrol the manor. I think the young prince might target the people in the manor next."
Xia was startled upon hearing this and quickly nodded, "Yes."
Su Muyao waved her hand: "You've been working hard all night, you should rest first."
Watching Xia Xia's departing figure, he sighed and suddenly felt a pang of regret. He shouldn't have moved those soldiers from the factory to another village back then.
Peach Blossom Village was a newly built village. When Su Muyao heard about it, she immediately ordered her soldiers to garrison there.
Inside the inn, the young prince looked at the person who came to report and instantly understood. It seemed that the little princess of this country was quite wealthy.
"Master, our people who were lying in ambush nearby said that the young princess only asked everyone to put out a fire, and then she calmly returned to the princess's residence."
"Hmph, since this approach won't work, let's just kidnap everyone in the Princess's mansion. That way, we can directly control the little princess and make her serve the Yan Kingdom."
The guard who came to report asked in a low voice, "Master, how should we explain this to the emperor of this great dynasty?"
Shangguan Qing was speechless. Why were the people under his command so stupid?
"Who kidnapped them? What does it have to do with me? If I didn't kidnap them, why should I explain to them?"
The guard then realized, "That's right, as long as our master doesn't say anything, who would know?"
"Take a few skilled men and tie up the young princess and everyone in the mansion. Then you can take these people back first."
"yes".
After saying that, the man hurried off to do it.
...
Just as Su Muyao lay down again and was about to fall asleep, a loud banging started outside.
He jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, and rushed out the door, but the fighting outside alerted everyone in the mansion.
Old Man Su, Old Woman Su, and all the members of the family from different branches all came out to see what was going on.
As soon as Su Muyao came out, she was hugged tightly by the old lady Su.
"Quick, there are bad guys! Yao Yao, you follow them and leave through the back door quickly."
The eldest son's wife, the second son's wife, and the third son's wife, who had been prepared in advance, each carried a small bundle and held the child's hand.
Looking at the sounds of fighting outside, Su Muyao said to her grandparents, "It's too late. You should all go back to your rooms. I have a way to deal with this."
How could Grandma Su feel at ease leaving her daughter alone outside?
He told everyone to go back to their rooms first, and then, carrying Su Muyao, he also wanted to go into the room.
"Grandma, have you forgotten that I am the disciple of the old immortal? Of course I have divine artifacts. You should go in first."
No sooner had she finished speaking than several masked men entered the courtyard. Without further hesitation, Su Muyao quickly pushed her grandparents into the room and then took out a new type of assault rifle from her spatial storage.
At the time, this gun was newly developed, and Su Muyao bought it from the gang leader at a high price.
I heard that not only is the gun very light, but most importantly, it has no recoil, so even a child can easily handle it.
Several guards lay dead on the ground in the courtyard, their fates unknown. Su Muyao was filled with rage upon seeing this.
I had originally planned to have Xia bring two more teams of people she had trained to guard the Princess's residence tomorrow.
I never expected these people to move so quickly.
The men in black were startled when they saw the little girl suddenly produce a strange object in her hand.
One of the masked men asked the leader, "Boss, how come this little princess suddenly produced something?"
The man called "boss" shook his head: "I don't know, but this kid must have some powerful treasure on him."
But no matter what, let's capture her first, everyone attack together."
Everyone had heard that this little bundle of milk had some amazing abilities, but no one had ever witnessed them.
Just as they were about to move forward to catch Su Muyao, they saw the little dumpling raise what it was holding and pull the trigger.
Biu biu, biu biu… Immediately afterwards, the leader at the front, along with several men in black who were charging ahead, fell to the ground.
The two people behind were terrified. One of them realized what was happening and ran back as fast as he could, while the other, seeing his companion running towards the gate, quickly followed.
Su Muyao wasn't about to let the two off easily, so she quickly pulled the trigger again. The man in black behind her collapsed after being shot multiple times.
The man in front used his lightness skill to run away into the distance. Su Muyao chased after him and fired two more shots, but they only hit his leg, allowing him to escape.
The man in black, who had been fleeing all the way, stumbled back to the inn, dragging his injured leg.
Shangguan Qing never expected that of all the imperial guards who went, only one would return.
"What exactly happened?" Shangguan Qing didn't care about his subordinates' injuries at all; he was just very curious as to how such powerful people could have been defeated so quickly.
The man knelt on the ground and said, "The young princess is a witch. She knows magic. She suddenly conjured something and then pointed it at us. Instantly, all our companions fell to the ground."
When Shangguan Qing heard him say that the little princess was a witch, he didn't really believe it, especially when it came to the things that suddenly appeared. He didn't think it was sorcery.
It should be a new type of assassination weapon, not much different from a crossbow.
"Hmph! You're such a waste, get out of here."
The injured man dragged his crippled leg down the aisle.
Su Muyao frowned as she looked at the corpse of the man in black in the courtyard, where a strong smell of blood filled the air.
Before long, one of the guards finally returned with his men.
However, when the group arrived at the princess's residence, they found a pile of corpses.
And they were all men in black; three of the princess's guards died and seven were seriously injured.
"Lin Yu, take your men and clean this place up. Give the other three guards a proper burial. See if they have any family members. If so, give them extra money as a consolation."
The guard named Lin Yu replied, "Yes."
After returning to her room, Su Muyao clenched her small fists. This was not the first time she had killed someone, but it was the most she had ever killed. Her little hands were still trembling slightly.
But she knew that if she didn't do this, she would be the one to die in the end.
Is it cruel? I don't think so.
Here she has a family she desperately wants to protect, even if her hands are stained with blood.
It seems I need to find out where this enemy is.
Shangguan Qing had no idea that the person he had underestimated would eventually defeat him so easily.
