However, by the time he reacted, his body no longer obeyed his commands.

Just as his consciousness was fading and he was sliding down, Ning Ning held him up.

It looked like the two of them suddenly hugged each other.

The people who were traveling with him didn't understand what was wrong with this guy. How could he be so outrageous while carrying out his mission?

He stepped forward and wanted to push his companion to wake him up, but the next second he felt a chill on his neck.

He looked down in astonishment and saw Ning Ning had crawled out of her companion's arms and came close to him, with a dagger dripping with blood in her hand.

This blood...

He touched his neck in disbelief, his hands were covered in blood. He wanted to scream to call his companions, but his throat was open and only vague gasping sounds could be heard.

At this moment, the people walking in front finally noticed something was wrong behind them. When they turned around, their two companions were already lying on the ground covered in blood.

The culprit Feidan did not run away, but stood there looking at them grimly.

The dagger in her hand was dripping with blood, revealing her crime.

Two of the six men in black were killed at once, and the remaining four men's faces changed and they immediately came over with knives. At this moment, a man jumped out from behind Ning Ning.

"Ning'er, I'll help you!"

?

Ning Ning and the man in black turned around at the same time and saw a handsome young man picking up the sword on the ground and quickly rushing towards the man in black.

"Son!"

The servant who appeared with him also quickly joined the battle.

Ning Ning was confused and had no idea who these two people who had intruded into the room were.

However, the two men had already started fighting with the four men.

However, it was clear that this young master Qinglang was no match for the man in black, and he suffered a lot of losses after just a few moves.

Ning Ning frowned speechlessly upon seeing this, lifted her skirt and rushed forward.

Regardless of whether these men in black merely suspected her identity or knew her identity, they were doomed to die the moment she killed the first person.

However, a sneak attack is one thing, and an open struggle is another.

After all, she had studied martial arts seriously, and when she was well prepared, all her close combat techniques were rendered useless.

Before Ning Ning could rush to the man in black, she was kicked away by a spinning kick.

Although Ning Ning tried her best to avoid being kicked in the internal organs, her shoulder could not avoid it. She felt a pain in her right shoulder and her body took several steps back uncontrollably.

Just when she was about to fall to the ground and fall on her butt, someone supported her waist.

She looked up in confusion and saw Shang Wenqi who had returned. Shang Wenqi didn't even look at her. He put her behind him, drew his sword and rushed forward.

Shang Wenqi's level is naturally not comparable to that of Qinglang Gongzi. His movements are very fast and powerful. He can almost kill one person with one move. His movements are wide and smooth, and look beautiful.

Ning Ning was watching from the side in amazement, and she only regretted that she did not have the same physical fitness as Shang Wenqi. If she had Shang Wenqi's skills, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.

Before Ning Ning could appreciate it, Shang Wenqi, who had dealt with the four men, turned around, picked up Ning Ning and left quickly.

Master Qinglang was confused at first, but then he reacted and quickly chased after Ning Ning: "Ning'er, where are you going! Ning'er, don't leave!"

"Sir, please leave here quickly. If any pursuers come and see us here, we will be in trouble."

"No, I finally got to see Ning'er, I have to make sure she's okay. Also, she's out there taking risks alone, I have to give her this silver to feel at ease."

"Sir, you are really causing trouble for Miss Ning! We have to consider Miss Ning and not expose her whereabouts. Let's go!"

The servant dragged Zhou Ziyu away without saying a word.

The alley returned to silence.

At this time, Ning Ning returned to the carriage again, feeling a sense of unreality.

After all, her life was at stake just now, and she escaped in the blink of an eye.

"Zhou Ziyu really cares about you. Not only does she dare to be a hero and save the beauty, but she also eagerly gives you money. She is worthy of being the one who has a verbal engagement with you."

Ning Ning came back to her senses and rolled her eyes: "I have nothing to do with him, please don't ruin my reputation casually."

Shang Wenqi looked at her strangely when he heard this, as if questioning her reputation.

Ning Ning raised her eyebrows: "I am not happy with your expression. After all, I was once a daughter of an official, the most talented woman in Minzhou."

"Self-proclaimed?"

"..." Ning Ning, can we still have a good chat?

She looked at Shang Wenqi speechlessly: "I didn't realize you were so humorous. What's wrong with you? Didn't you leave? Why are you still in this alley?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Wenqi adjusted his sitting position, leaned against the back of the carriage and closed his eyes, with no intention of answering.

"Oh, are you shy and embarrassed?" Ning Ning continued to prick her heart.

Shang Wenqi finally couldn't help but speak: "I'm just supervising you. After all, if you can't give anything to the noble after one month, I will be in trouble too."

Speaking of this, Ning Ning couldn't help but sigh.

"I thought it was too simple. I originally thought that my brother had delivered the petition to Zhou Jintao, but after my father got into trouble, his mansion was besieged and I didn't see my brother at all."

Shang Wenqi was not surprised at all, as if he had known about this for a long time.

Ning Ning frowned and continued to think: "Theoretically speaking, if brother really went to Kyoto, even if he couldn't meet Zhou Jintao, he would find a way to submit the petition. So, besides Zhou Jintao, where else would he choose?"

Shang Wenqi's eyes suddenly opened: "Ministry of Justice."

"Ministry of Justice?" Ning Ning was surprised.

"The Ministry of Justice is the department that presided over your father's trial. The shortcut of asking someone to submit a petition has been cut off. He has no choice but to submit it directly to the presiding department. However, I can assure you that no one has come to the Ministry of Justice during this period."

The implication is that Ning'an City should not have reached Kyoto.

Ning Ning couldn't help but frown, "Could it be that my brother was intercepted on the road?"

She did not doubt Shang Wenqi's judgment. After all, Shang Wenqi was from the Qingyun Left Cavalry. In addition to protecting the safety of the royal family and the peace of Kyoto, this group of personal soldiers must also be responsible for keeping an eye on the movements of the ministers in Kyoto.

The Ministry of Justice is naturally also within their surveillance scope.

If Ning'an City really appeared in the capital, they would definitely be able to take control of it at the first time, and Shang Wenqi would not have to travel all the way to Minzhou to find her.

Just then, there was movement outside the carriage.

Ning Ning thought someone was blocking the road again, so she unconsciously tensed her body and prepared for a fight. The next second, the driver spoke into the room.

"Boss, the people who are listening to Song are back."

"How to say."

"The man in black is from the Ministry of Justice."

???

Ning Ning widened her eyes and looked at Shang Wenqi in disbelief.

The man in black is from the Ministry of Justice, which means the whole thing was written, directed and performed by the Ministry of Justice?
