After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

"Xuanwu, let's find a restaurant to stop. We have been in Cangzhou for so long, but we have never tasted the local food outside. How about we try the Cangzhou food today?" she suggested.

When Xuan Wu heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

She nodded: "Okay, I have always been curious about what delicious food is waiting for us in Cangzhou."

So the carriage slowly stopped, and several people got off and found a restaurant called Piaoxianglou.

The exterior of Piaoxiang Tower is simple and elegant, with two red lanterns hanging in front of the door, swaying gently in the wind and emitting a faint warm light.

The clerk in the shop was sharp-eyed and his eyes lit up immediately when he saw a young lady with bright and charming features getting off the carriage.

He noticed that the young lady was dressed elegantly and the accessories she wore were all extraordinary. It was obvious that she was from an extraordinary family, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Miss, how many of you are there?"

Xiao Qiongzhu walked into the restaurant and looked around. The environment was quite elegant and the decoration was quite exquisite.

"There are four of us. Please serve some of your restaurant's signature dishes."

Xuan Wu hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Xiao Qiongzhu, "Master, how about we find a private room? There are too many people in this hall and it's too noisy. I'm afraid it will disturb our meal."

"Let's just stay in this hall. Someone has been following us all the time. If we go into the wing room, those people will have to go through a lot of trouble to get in. Instead of making them work so hard, why don't we just stay in this hall and dine openly so that they can watch us to their heart's content."

Xuan Wu smiled and said, "Master, you are a very nice person."

Xiao Qiongzhu brought Xuan Wu and others to a table by the window and sat down.

After a while, the waiter brought out several local specialties.

The table was filled with steaming hot food.

Several people enjoyed the delicious food while admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Xiao Qiongzhu's mood also became cheerful.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the tranquility.

Xiao Qiongzhu frowned slightly and looked towards the door, only to see several men in black clothes hurriedly walking in, their eyes fixed directly on Xiao Qiongzhu.

"It seems that there are other people targeting us." Xiao Qiongzhu said softly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

She had expected this day to come, after all, the temptation of the treasure was too great.

She had just stepped out of the Feng Mansion's gate, and she didn't expect these people to follow them here so blatantly.

"Master, what should we do?" Xuan Wu asked nervously.

Although she had been receiving training in the Longyin Army, she was not completely sure she could deal with these men in black.

Xiao Qiongzhu curled her lips slightly, put down the chopsticks in her hand, stood up and said: "Since they want to fight, then we will play with them."

As she spoke, she waved her hand lightly, and a silver light instantly flew out from her hand, and a silver needle shot directly into the chest of a man in black.

The man in black screamed and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the other men in black were horrified and drew their swords from their waists and rushed towards Xiao Qiongzhu and the others.

Xiao Qiongzhu sneered, and with a flash of her body, she dodged the attack of one of the men in black.

She reached out and grabbed the wrist of the man in black, then twisted it hard and snatched the sword from his hand.

Then, she moved as fast as the wind, shuttling between several men in black.

Every time he attacked, a man in black would fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Xuan Wu and others were not willing to be outdone. They drew their weapons and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with sword light and sword energy, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

After a fierce battle, Xiao Qiongzhu and others finally subdued all the men in black.

She looked coldly at the man in black lying on the ground and said, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

One of the men in black gnashed his teeth and said, “We won’t tell you!”

"Do you think I won't know if you don't tell me?"

As she spoke, she reached out her hand and tapped the man in black a few times, then gently pinched it and took out a small token from him.

Xiao Qiongzhu glanced at the token and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She put away the token and said to Xuan Wu and the others, "Let's go."

Xuan Wu gestured towards the door, and instantly, a dozen people appeared. They quickly dragged the man in black on the ground away and disappeared into the crowd.

The whole process was clean and neat, as if it had never happened.

Xiao Qiongzhu and her group left the restaurant, got back on the carriage, and continued heading towards the Xiao Mansion.

As Xiao Qiongzhu's personal bodyguard, Xuan Er has been silently protecting Xiao Qiongzhu.

But she seemed to have not yet fully recovered from the thrilling incident.

She stared at Xiao Qiongzhu in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "Master, has your martial arts improved again?"

Xiao Qiongzhu listened to Xuan Er's doubts and nodded, but she was thinking secretly in her heart.

Although Xuan Er has always been guarding by her side, her martial arts skills still have a lot of room for improvement.

Especially in terms of speed, she needs to work harder.

Otherwise, she might not be able to stay by his side as a secret guard in the future.

Xiao Qiongzhu looked at her, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Xuan Er, you need to improve your speed. I heard from the Taoist priest that Liang Bo in the mansion is a master. When you go back, go find him and let him teach you martial arts for a while. In the future, there will be more assassinations like the one just now around me."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Er lowered his head in shame.

She understood her shortcomings, so she responded respectfully, "Yes, Master. I will work harder to improve my martial arts skills and speed. I will never let you down!"

Xiao Qiongzhu knew that this incident was just the beginning, and the road ahead would probably be even more difficult.

The carriage finally stopped in front of the gate of Xiao Mansion.

As soon as Xiao Qiongzhu got off the carriage, she saw Yun Kaizhou waiting for her at the door.

Yun Kaizhou stepped forward, took her hand, and asked with concern: "Why did you come back with all your things so suddenly? I received a letter from Ren Dong via carrier pigeon, and I have been waiting here ever since. The letter didn't say much."

Xiao Qiongzhu motioned for him to go inside the house first, and told Xuan Wu to move the luggage back to the courtyard where they originally lived.

Now she just wanted to have a good sleep and sort out her thoughts.

Seeing that she ignored him, Yun Kaizhou deliberately held Xiao Qiongzhu in his arms in an extremely ambiguous manner and said with a smile: "It's only been a few days since we last met, and you're already so enthusiastic towards me."

Xiao Qiongzhu never knew that this man was so shameless. She put her hands on his chest and pushed him away.

She shook her head helplessly and said, "Okay, I'm going to go into the mansion. A lot of things happened today, I'll tell you later."
