The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Not long after Ning Ziqing's carriage left the city, it was stopped by two swordsmen on the official road. Several martial arts servants led by Uncle Fu quickly stepped forward and surrounded the two men.

"Third Miss, we are sent by Qi Langjun to protect you. The Lord requires us to stay with you." The two swordsmen clasped their fists at Ning Ziqing.

Ning Ziqing lifted the car curtain and quickly asked Uncle Fu to call the servant away.

"Thank you both very much. I don't know what to call you?"

"Qiang selection."

"Qingxu."

"I've met the third lady." The two replied respectfully.

Ning Ziqing nodded and thanked them, exchanged a few words with them, and then asked them to pretend to be servants and accompany the carriage to Cangzhou.

Ning Ziqing sat quietly in the carriage, her eyes staring at the fields and mountains passing by outside the carriage.

The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was blowing on her face, and the depression that had accumulated in her heart finally disappeared along with the beautiful scenery along the way, making her look forward to her trip to Cangzhou more and more.

Five days later, the group arrived at a city called Gucheng. Gucheng is located in the eastern part of Nanyao Kingdom and is world-famous for its rich iron ore resources.

It can contribute huge amounts of tax revenue to the court every year. Therefore, Gucheng is one of the most important cities in Nanyao Kingdom and the main source of weapons manufacturing. It plays a key role in the economic and military development of Nanyao Kingdom.

After entering the city, Uncle Fu asked the groom to drive the carriage to the largest inn in the city called "Laixi". He planned to stay here for one night and head to Cangzhou early tomorrow morning. It only took one day to get from Gucheng to Cangzhou.

After Yinxiang and Ning Ziqing settled down, they decided to go out for some sightseeing while it was still early.

Ning Ziqing informed Uncle Fu and walked out of the inn with Yinxiang.

The two of them walked on the bustling street, with the sounds of street vendors selling and crowds coming one after another.The shops on both sides are full of colorful goods, which is dizzying.

Vendors selling various goods shouted to attract customers, and the stalls were crowded and lively.

From time to time, laughter and laughter came from the crowd, making Yinxiang and Ning Ziqing feel the excitement and vitality of the city.

Yinxiang looked curiously and asked Ning Ziqing if he needed to buy some gifts as a meeting gift for the trip to Cangzhou.

After Ning Ziqing agreed, Yinxiang dove into the crowd and soon disappeared.

Ning Ziqing walked to a stall selling sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and bought two sweet and delicious sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. After paying the money and just about to taste them, a strange man holding a folding fan suddenly bumped into her and took the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from her hand. Hit the ground.

Ning Ziqing raised her head and saw that the man was wearing a blue robe, with a handsome face, picturesque eyebrows, heroic spirit, and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes.

He held a folding fan in his hand and apologized to Ning Ziqing with a smile.

"Girl, I'm sorry, I just accidentally bumped into you. I'll buy the fallen osmanthus cake to compensate you."

The man raised his head and was slightly startled when he noticed Ning Ziqing's face, with a trace of surprise and confusion flashing in his eyes.He stared at Ning Ziqing closely, as if he was a little surprised by her sudden appearance.

Under the man's strange gaze, Ning Ziqing felt as if she had been penetrated, and felt a little uncomfortable, so she coughed lightly to remind him.

The man came to his senses and soon realized that he had been rude. "Sorry, I just thought the girl was someone I knew. I offended you so much, please forgive me!"

The man apologized to Ning Ziqing, bought two osmanthus cakes from the vendor, and handed them to Ning Ziqing.

"You're welcome, young master." Ning Ziqing took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from his hand generously.

When the man approached, Ning Ziqing smelled a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from his body and guessed that he might be a doctor.

But she felt that he was too young, and judging from his suave appearance, he did not look like a person who was proficient in medical skills, but more like a playboy from a noble family.

Ning Ziqing frowned slightly and stared thoughtfully at the man in front of him, his eyes revealing some doubts.

The man smiled and said nothing when he saw this, and seemed to notice the change in Ning Ziqing's expression.He walked up to her slowly and asked softly: "Is the girl waiting for someone?"

"My maid went shopping and will be back soon." Ning Ziqing replied lightly, not wanting to talk to him too much.

She cast her gaze into the bustling crowd, looking for Yinxiang.

The man didn't care about her deliberate indifference. He stared at Ning Ziqing for a moment and suddenly said, "The girl's accent doesn't sound like she's from Gucheng, but she sounds like she's from Kyoto."

Ning Ziqing was slightly stunned when she heard the man's words, but did not show too much emotion.She replied calmly: "Young Master has good eyesight. I am indeed from Kyoto."

After hearing Ning Ziqing's answer, the man's eyes flashed with surprise, which further confirmed his initial guess.

He smiled slightly at Ning Ziqing and said attentively: "This is your first time in Gucheng. I can be your guide and take you around. I wonder if you are willing to go with me?"

Ning Ziqing felt strange about the man's over-enthusiasm. She looked at him with wary eyes and politely refused: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I am only staying in Gucheng for one night. I am in a hurry. I have to wait for my maid to come back." Go back to the inn!”

After being rejected, the man wanted to continue inviting Ning Ziqing, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of two nearby guards staring at him warily, holding the hilts of their swords and leaning over.

The man had no choice but to stop there. He smiled apologetically at Ning Ziqing and said, "Girl, I've disturbed you with my abruptness. I'm very sorry. I'll take my leave first." The man saluted Ning Ziqing and turned around to leave.

After Qiang Ze and Qingxu saw the man leaving, they relaxed, put down their guard, and stayed where they were.

Ning Ziqing didn't pay much attention to the man. She just glanced at his leaving figure and continued to wait for Yinxiang to come back.

When Yinxiang came back with a lot of things, Ning Ziqing hurriedly asked Qiang Ze and Qingxu to help her take the items in her hands, and then she and Yinxiang squeezed into the nearby food stall.

The man did not go far. Although he did not dare to approach Ning Ziqing easily, he hid aside and silently observed her.

When Ning Ziqing returned to the inn with Yinxiang and the others, the man following them saw the carriage parked in front of the inn and recognized it as belonging to the Fu Mansion in Cangzhou. He couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile.

It seemed that he had met someone destined for him. He raised the corners of his lips, and there was an elusive sense of mystery in his eyes.

The moonlight was bright and silent.

Ning Ziqing and Yinxiang went to bed early. Suddenly, there was a faint noise from outside the room. These subtle noises made people feel a little uneasy. Ning Ziqing suddenly opened his eyes and saw Yinxiang still sleeping beside him.

She lost her sleep and sat up. At this moment, there was a burst of rapid footsteps and the sound of swords clashing outside the door.

Several figures were intertwined and engaged in a fierce fight. Ning Ziqing listened carefully to the movements outside.

After a moment, she heard a few dull sounds and a few short breaths, followed by silence.Ning Ziqing was slightly startled, not knowing what happened.

She quietly walked to the door and kept the door ajar, only to see Qiang Ze and Qingxu standing at the door holding long swords, with several fallen killer corpses scattered around them.

"Miss Third has been disturbed. We have dealt with the killer. Please rest assured, Miss Third." Qiang Ze replied with clasped fists.

Ning Ziqing frowned slightly, glanced at the corpses calmly, nodded to the two of them and said, "Thank you for your hard work, please take care of the corpses and don't let Uncle Fu find out."

"Yes." The two took orders.

Ning Ziqing lay back on the bed, filled with doubts, thinking about who sent the killer.

Is it the stepmother Song or the Duke of Qi?In her mind, both the Song family and Qi Guogong might become suspects in planning this matter.

Song wanted to get rid of herself because Ning Zilan married Su Yanqi. If it was the killer she sent, then her purpose would be obvious.

As for Qi Guogong, because she had offended Princess Jiarou before, which caused dissatisfaction between him and Concubine Qi, but he had a prominent status, would he kill a weak woman like her?

Ning Ziqing fell into deep thought, knowing that no matter who sent the killer, he had only one purpose, and that was to kill her.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to save your own life, and then find a way to find out the truth.

It seemed that even if I was far away, I still couldn't let down my guard. After I went to Cangzhou to see my grandfather, I still had to return to Kyoto as soon as possible to make the next plan.
