After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

The officers who stayed behind were just trying to make a living. When they saw the assassins, they resisted for a while, then realized that their martial arts skills were far inferior to the assassins, and immediately fled like birds and beasts.

Seeing that his father was in danger, Cheng Songan hooked his foot on the stirrup, bent his body, picked up a fallen sword from the ground, and rode straight over.

The assassins were well prepared and outnumbered. Cheng Songan only had the advantage of being on horseback, so she could charge from a high position, and her moves were desperate, so the assassins could not get close to her for a while.

But she only learned some sword techniques from Li Wenbin, so she was not an expert, and her high fever had not subsided. After fighting for a while, she began to lose strength. Cheng Zhongwen, who was protected by her, had already picked up a sword and stood beside her horse and said, "Yundai, go back to the city to get help."

Cheng Songan looked in the direction of the city and shook her head. It turned out that this was Cheng Wanxin's purpose. It was not to lure her out of the city, but to kill her outside the city.

But with Cheng Wanxin's cleverness, her father would also follow her out of the city. Couldn't she know that although her father was angry with her, he was so harsh in his criticism because he loved her so deeply? He was the only person in the entire Cheng family who still cared about her, but she didn't even let her father go.

Have to wait.

Her hair was loose and the messy hair stuck to her face and eyes. Cheng Songan simply took apart all the hair and tied it into a bun. She also cut a long strip from her robe and tied it on her forehead. Her temperament suddenly became brighter. She no longer had the demeanor of a little girl, and her eyes were full of murderous intent.

She stubbornly stood in front of Cheng Zhongwen, defending but not attacking, staring at the assassins with red eyes, the long sword in her hand never leaving her hand for a moment.

The assassins were shocked and uncertain, and rushed forward several times, but were forced to move forward by Cheng Songan's tactic of dying together.

Cheng Zhongwen had never seen his eldest daughter like this before, and was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the little girl, who was spoiled by her parents in Yizhou and became lawless when she was young, had suppressed too much of her true nature.

"Yundai, listen to your father and rush out!" Cheng Zhongwen said anxiously, "Who is your father? How dare they be so bold as to start a fight under the emperor's feet?"

The assassins laughed strangely, as if they thought he was telling a joke.

Cheng Songan sneered: "Who are you? Do you know who my father and I are?"

The masked man in the lead said coldly: "If you don't know the names of Cheng Zhongwen and your Miss Cheng, wouldn't it be a waste of killing?"

"Since you knew that, why did you dare to kill me? What's your purpose?" Cheng Songan asked coldly.

The masked man seemed to be provoked into anger, pointed the tip of his sword at her and said, "I'm going to kill you. You deserve to die. All members of the Cheng family deserve to die! Die!"

Cheng Songan smiled slightly: "Unfortunately, there are too many people trying to kill me today. I don't even know who should die by their hands."

As they were talking, the group of people had already come to a few meters behind the masked man at an incredibly fast speed. Their movements were even faster. From the time Cheng Songan saw them to the time they arrived in front of him, it seemed like a moment.

Those masked men turned around with shock in their eyes. They had unfathomable martial arts skills, appeared silently, and had the same look and expression on their faces. Only the one in the middle was different. His face was sallow and thin, but his eyes were clear and deep.

The yellow-faced man glanced at Cheng Songan and saw that although she looked sick and had an abnormal flush on her face, she was full of vitality. His clear eyes moved and he turned his gaze away.

"Are you here to kill me too?" Cheng Songan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you guys fight it out first? The winner can kill me."

The man calmly turned his eyes away from her face, and spoke in a harsh voice: "Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, those people with the same faces attacked like a storm. Within a cup of tea, half of the masked men fell down.

Cheng Songan smiled calmly: "It seems that their kung fu is better, you can't kill me."

The masked man in the lead heard her slightly sarcastic laugh, his face changed, he raised his sword to protect himself, and said to the yellow-faced man: "Who are you? Since you are here to kill the Cheng family, why not leave this opportunity to you."

Having said that, he wanted to escape with the rest of the people.

The yellow-faced man spoke again: "Leave only one alive."

This time, it didn't even take a cup of tea. The masked assassins fell to the ground without a sound, and were tied up and thrown aside.

Cheng Songan slowly let go of his anxious heart, coughed violently, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

The yellow-faced man moved and was already in front of her horse, stretching out his hand to help her.

Cheng Zhongwen rushed out from the side, raised his sword and blocked it, saying angrily: "If you want my daughter's life, kill me first!"

"Father, he..." Cheng Songan coughed and said to Cheng Zhongwen.

"Sister Cheng! Sister Cheng!" The voice came from far away, and Duan Zhuyu came with a group of people.

The yellow-faced man nodded, and those people with the same faces immediately each picked up a masked man and headed southeast at an incredible speed, disappearing into the wilderness in a short while.

Cheng Songan smiled at the sweaty Duan Zhuyu and asked, "Did your uncle get home safely?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Duan Zhuyu's eyes: "Uncle?"

"Didn't he ask you to come pick me up when he went back?" Cheng Songan coughed violently.

Duan Zhuyu agreed without thinking: "Sister, stop talking. Let's go back to the city. I have already invited a doctor to the Fisherman and Woodcutter Villa for you."

Cheng Songan let out a long sigh and fainted.

When she woke up again, she was already lying in the room in the mountain retreat. She was very thirsty and couldn't make a sound. She could only try to sit up, but found a person standing in front of the window with his back to her.

His posture has always been upright, and the spring sunset shines on his body, as if it has coated him with a layer of light. Hearing the noise, Cui Yuanqing turned around, and his cold face was softened by the sunset.

"Would you like some water?" He came over and sat beside the bed, holding her in his arms, and brought the cup of tea to her mouth.

Cheng Songan took the cup of water, pointed at him, signaling him to leave, and moved to the inside of the bed before drinking the water in big gulps.

After she finished drinking, Cui Yuanqing took it and put it on the table. The two of them looked at each other in silence.

"Where's my dad?" Cheng Songan's voice became even hoarser.

Cui Yuanqing said calmly: "Father-in-law is fine, he went back to write a memorial."

"He's not your father-in-law!" she corrected.

Cui Yuanqing listened to her hoarse voice and did not argue.

Cheng Songan followed up with, "Why are you here again? Don't you think I'm annoying enough?"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Cui Yuanqing spoke after a long time.

"The first person you thought of was Lu Qingshan, and the second person you looked for was Ming Zhan. Why didn't you look for me?"

Cheng Songan said coldly: "I don't need to tell you what I do."

"You finally chose Ming Zhan?" Cui Yuanqing looked into her eyes.

Cheng Songan lowered his eyes, clenched his fists, and nodded: "It's not a bad idea."
