Chapter 1469: Glassy Purple Star >
y know Before, this body belonged to a foolish girl; how could it have such abilitiesSince the text is ancient, she wouldn't even know it."Let's keep it for now. Maybe we can ask the Chief later, he...Feng Lingxi whispered, "Get down."
Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi, hearing the sound, crouched down. In that instant, Feng Lingxi drew a flying knife from her waist and with a whoosh, struck the assassin's throat. The assassin died instantly, falling a meter away from her.
"Wǎn'er."
Feng Lingxi killed the assassin and hurried to Wan'er's side with Feng Siqi and Feng Siyu. Seeing the wound on her arm, she quickly took out medicine to treat it and bandaged Wan'er. The wound wasn't very deep.
The men in black were quickly dealt with, and Lu Nian and Tao Su hurried forward. Looking at Wan'er's injuries, their eyes were full of concern.
"County Lord, how are you"
Su Yue rushed to Wan'er's face, her clothes stained with blood. Seeing that the black-clothed man had injured Wan'er, she killed all the assassins around Wan'er and knelt on one knee, full of guilt.
"My subordinates failed to protect the mistress, I beg the county princess to punish me."
"Suyue, I'm fine, it's just a scratch. Get up first and see what these people in black are up to. Their martial arts skills aren't bad." Wan'er bit her lip, the wound throbbing with pain. This wasn't her first time being injured, but this situation was the first of its kind.
Feng Lingxi helped Wan'er treat her wound. Hearing Wan'er's mature words, she looked up at her, her nose aching with heartache. This child was so young, and she had fought with these men in black, getting injured, but the first thing she did was investigate their identities.
"Wan'er, is Luo Li often like this to you"
Feng Lingxi hugged Wan'er, and seeing her nod, tears welled up in his eyes again. This time, he didn't cry out loud, but his heart was filled with unbearable pain.
"Let me hold her, Wan'er."
Lu Nian reached out and glanced at the body of the black-clothed man on the ground, "These men in black have good martial arts skills, they strike fiercely."
"They came for me."
Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, "It seems that after I hid for five years, there are still many people who want my life." With a self-deprecating smile, Feng Lingxi glanced at Wan'er, "These people, even Wan'er wants to kill me."
"No, they didn't mean to hurt Wan'er. Just now I noticed, they accidentally injured her. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a minor injury. They didn't intend to harm the child."
Tao Su sheathed his sword, “I also found that when the assassin attacked you, the black-clothed men beside him didn't seem to want to harm Si Yu and Si Qi.”
"Do you want to take the child away"
Feng Lingxi murmured to herself, her voice trailing off. As if she had understood something, her face turned grim. Could it be that Dugu Cheng sent someone to snatch the child away, intending to kill her and eliminate any future threats
No, he wouldn't do that. Even if he wanted children, he wouldn't go so far as to kill her.
"Your Highness, these assassins are all masters from the palace."
Su Yue walked over holding a token in her hand. Feng Lingxi looked at the token, and her eyes dimmed.
"The people in the palace."
Feng Lingxi let out a hum, and she was also a master of the Imperial Palace during the Yuan Dynasty. It seemed like she didn't want her to live back to the Yuan Dynasty.
"Su Yue, besides you, are there no other dark guards from the Luoli Pai sent to protect Wan'er"
Feng Ling Xi asked, "Before, it was said that there were several escorts along the way. Why aren't there any now"
"I have no idea. I saw them when they arrived, but this time when I went back, I didn't see anyone." Su Yue's eyes were also full of suspicion, she wanted to know the reason too.
"Leave here first."
Lu Nian glanced at the dozen or so corpses in black. Besides Wan'er's arm scratch, they also had a few injured attendants here, but they were all fine. They had to continue their journey and reach the next place to change people.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This was Feng Lingxi's first encounter with an assassination after descending the mountain. She was accustomed to it, but Siyu and Siqi were frightened. Although they practiced martial arts, this was their first time witnessing such an assassination. After getting on the carriage, they sat quietly without making a sound.
Feng Ling held Wan'er, looking at the injuries on her arm with eyes full of heartache and guilt.
"Mother, Wan'er is fine. It's just a flesh wound, it will be alright in a few days."
"Wǎn'er, in the future when you encounter such things, don't rush out again. You are still young, and even with good martial arts, you haven't reached a level where you can kill enemies."
Feng Lingxi urged her, Wan'er nodded, keeping her eyes on her mother. Looking at the worry in her mother's eyes, she felt that being hurt was worthwhile. She could protect her mother; as long as she had a little more time, she would definitely become very excellent.
"Mother, you know martial arts now too."
Wan'er's words made Feng Lingxi stiffen. Since the year five years later when she killed a soldier who stood in her way at Chen Wangfu, Feng Lingxi had never taken another life. She could be ruthless, but she hadn't reached the point where killing was necessary.
Just now, that person wanted to kill her. Feng Lingxi took action and pierced his throat.
"My mother's master taught me. Because my mother doesn't want to die, she has to protect Siyu and Siki. Her hands will definitely be stained with blood."
Wan'er buried her head in Feng Lingxi's chest, "Wan'er will also protect her mother, and her younger brothers and sisters, so Wan'er's hands are destined to be stained with blood as well."
"Mother, it's all my fault."
Feng Siyu suddenly spoke, he was truly filled with remorse right now. He had just been so scared that he forgot to fight back, forgetting everything his grandfather had taught him.
"Stop yelling and shouting, you're so young. None of you are allowed to speak anymore."
Feng Lingxi feigned anger, looking at Wan'er who was staring at him. Her eyes were soft, "Remember, if something like this happens again, remember to protect yourself, don't be so stubborn, you are all children."
Wan'er listens to her mother.
Leaning against Feng Lingxi's arms, Wan'er closed her eyes. Her wound ached a little, and she didn't want to speak anymore.
The convoy reached the next town and rested on Lu's territory. Wan'er's arm was injured, treated with medicine, and there were no major issues. Lu Nian changed personnel and strengthened security along the way. Today's assassination truly angered him.
Whoever dares to assassinate the Lu family is truly tired of living. He must be caught and severely punished.
Feng Lingxi took care of three children, and only after they fell asleep did she take out the box that Lady Lu had given her, but she didn't open it.
"Sister." Lu Nian knocked on the door, Feng Lingxi answered and let him in.
Lu Nian held the dishes in her hands, looking at Feng Ling Xi's box on the table, "This is from my mother. Have you looked inside"
"No, madam said it could be opened only by reaching the land of Xi Gu. We haven't left yet."
"Here, eat something. I scared you today, I'm sorry."
"I offer my sincerest apologies. I truly did not expect there to be an assassination attempt along the way. I will definitely investigate this and find out who is responsible, so justice can be served for Wan'er."
"The imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty, doesn't want to kill children, only wants to kill me, who do you say is responsible for this" Need we investigate further
Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes darkened, she had no appetite, she just stared at the box that Madam Lu gave her, a wry smile on her lips.
"You're saying I have to die for them to let me go"
"Xier, listen to me, it wasn't Dugu City who did it. I swear to heaven, it wasn't him."
Lu Nian thought Feng Lingxi had misunderstood that it was Dugu City, so she hurriedly explained.
"It wasn't him, it was his mother." avoid being hugged by Dugu City. Wan'er held her in her arms, this body always had a milky fragrance, which was very pleasant. This was something she had never noticed before. After holding her for a...
