Chapter 81: Rather than let my mother consort be injured, ……

Dark Five held him at the cart's side and placed him together with those three people.

Princess Consort's order was to protect four people, but if he failed to complete the mission……

He didn't want to face the Princess Consort!

Even though they were dark guards, upon seeing the Princess Consort's gaze, they all flinched, not daring to look directly.

In those eyes, aside from killing intent, there seemed to be nothing else.

"Report, except for the second chief, everyone was killed."

"Report, the archer killed five and captured three."

"Report, two suspicious people were found nearby."

……

The successive reports seemed to let the person who had just fallen into a nightmare slowly wake up.

"Form up, report the Wang Fu casualties." Jiang Yun Chu shouted loudly, looking at the blood-soaked ground, at the sealed valley, at the groups of people.

"Yes!"

The two leaders glanced at each other, then each organized the units they were responsible for.

Whose people?

What is the target? The Regent Prince's Manor, or Ning Qiancheng!

She glanced at the child who covered his mouth, met his gaze; the child, a little afraid, lowered his head, and her eyes were full of contemplation.

"Report, the Wang Fu guard unit: three injured, no deaths."

"Report, the Wang Fu shadow unit: eight injured, no deaths."

Both units had no deaths.

"Treat the wounds on the spot." Jiang Yun Chu continued to issue orders.

She looked at the tall mountain, her eyes narrowed; now is the best time to search the mountain, as the other side has not yet received news—it is the perfect moment to strike decisively and eradicate the root.

But……

She turned back to look at the four children behind her, and Yue Yue on the cart, who was still sound asleep……

Forget it!

Rear accounts, settle them slowly.

"Bai Zhi, distribute the ointment, one bottle for each injured person." This is her own concoction, a hemostatic powder, effective for both blade and sword wounds.

The ointment previously given to Ning Qiancheng was of this kind.

Everyone rested for two quarters of an hour amidst the bloodstains and corpses.

"Depart!"

After receiving the order, Bai Zhi shouted loudly, and the unit continued to set out toward Ning Jing.

Besides the Regent Prince's Manor, there is also the designer behind it; no one knows that in this sealed valley, more than twenty lives have been buried—bandits and archery experts.

"Ning Lao Da." Zhang Cunwen is timid; his voice trembles, his whole body shaking.

Ning Hanmo raised his eyes, looked at Zhang Cunwen, and said nothing.

"If we enter the academy, will we……"

He touched his eyes and mouth; they were still fine on his face, waa……

Jia Chuan glanced at Zhang Cunwen.

"I also didn't expect that the Princess Consort, who looks soft and weak, would……"

He didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was already clear.

Ning Hanmo didn't answer, but looked at Ning Qiancheng.

"Lao Yao, what do you say?"

Although Ning Qiancheng feared the Princess Consort's gaze, he spoke firmly: 'Either die, or kill the enemy.'

In the Imperial Palace, he learned too much; those women are adept with soft knives, yet behind that lies another aspect.

He merely cannot bear the Princess Consort's gaze, but that does not mean he disagrees with her actions.

"Yes! If my mother consort does not resist, then she will die, and so will we!"

"Rather than let my mother consort be injured, it would be better……"

"Let that person die."

Ning Hanmo's tone was indifferent; to everyone, he seemed utterly cold, even his blood seemed thin and chilly.

But Ning Qiancheng narrowed his eyes, glanced at Ning Hanmo; Ning Lao Da had changed, changed greatly.

Zhang Cunwen and Jia Chuan recalled the recent scene and had to admit that Ning Lao Da was right.

"I just didn't react in time; I had no other thoughts." Zhang Cunwen sighed.

He is timid; after entering the academy, he fears being beaten.

He can endure a beating for a while, but that blade—he cannot withstand it at all!

"My mother consort has always been a reasonable person." Ning Hanmo wore a proud expression, causing the corners of the mouths of the three people in the cart to twitch involuntarily.

It was the driver Shunzi; the whip he swung suddenly had a bit more force, the horse felt pain and sprinted forward a stretch……

A jolt.

"Please keep today's affair confidential, everyone."

Inside the Wang Fu, Jiang Yun Chu changed into a set of clothes; the pale pink attire made her aura ever more tranquil, her eyes like crescent moons, bearing a touch of gentleness.

But……

Her current appearance, however, made Zhang Cunwen and Jia Chuan feel uneasy, their hearts pounding violently, as if they might be assassinated any second.

"I swear, unless I die, I will tell no one; even if beaten to death, I will not speak." Zhang Cunwen raised his hand, a posture of swearing to heaven and earth that the sun and moon could witness.

Jiang Yun Chu looked at his appearance, helplessly shaking his head.

It seems……

Still scared the child……

However, this courage, if he entered the academy, would probably need training.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yun Chu stopped looking at Zhang Cunwen and instead looked toward Jia Chuan.

"Princess Consort, don't worry, I didn't see anything."

Jia Chuan performed a salute, and on the way back, he kept thinking about Ning Eldest Brother's words.

After much thought, he made a decision in his heart.

He wants to come to Chun Hua Xue Yuan.

No one knows how great the impact of this incident was in Jia Chuan's heart, even changing his life.

And now he is merely a bystander.

"You don't need to leave." Jiang Yun Chu looked toward Ning Qiancheng.

Ning Qiancheng widened his eyes, doubting he had misheard; his finger unconsciously pointed at himself.

"Princess Consort, what did you just say?"

Jiang Yun Chu smiled, then took out a secret letter from a box, which also contained thirty taels of silver.

"Take a look." She smiled, and simply handed the secret letter to Ning Hanmo.

Ning Hanmo now recognizes quite a few characters; although his writing still looks like spider crawls, at least it has taken shape.

"Is this real?" Ning Hanmo read slowly; the letter had only three lines, but he examined it for a long time, confirming each character, finally raising his head with a look of surprise.

Jiang Yun Chu nodded, "There's an imperial seal on it; how could it be fake!"

After she said that, she also tapped Ning Hanmo's forehead; such a silly question, how could he have asked it?

Ning Hanmo covered his forehead; each time he couldn't control his strength, he must have inherited it from his mother, who always hit his forehead with great force.

En!

It must be like this!

"I'm not just happy!" Ning Hanmo looked at the secret letter in his hand, reading it over and over.

"Eldest Brother, what did you say?" Zhang Cunwen approached in a lewd manner, getting close to Ning Hanmo's side.

These characters, right!

How to put it? It knows him, but he doesn't know it!

This matter is really inappropriate!
