Chapter 204
Xie Wan Ning was eager to do something chivalrous.
Having read countless storybooks, she actually has a dream of becoming a knight.
In her previous life, she liked Lu Ziyan so much. Besides the love in their youth, it was more because he was an invincible young general who defended his country.
The girl admires the strong. It is true that Lu Ziyan was cold and unruly in his previous life, but he would shine in her eyes.
He's so awesome.
He was good at fighting and had great martial arts skills. Everyone respected him, feared him, and was wary of him.
Xie Wan Ning's love for him was mixed with a bit of admiration; she felt that he was omnipotent and indestructible.
Even after her rebirth, when she was most annoyed with him, she never denied his abilities.
But now, she has no father or brother, no Pei Yuqing, and no Lu Ziyan by her side.
She was alone.
Next door was a mother and daughter who were being bullied, and she used some fists and kicks...
Maybe... maybe if she was a little braver, she could save two people.
Xie Wan Ning gritted her teeth and turned over to sit up, but the sound of the door being kicked open was heard even faster than her.
With a loud bang, two skinny men with shifty eyes walked in.
When he saw the woman sitting on the couch, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"I've been keeping an eye on you for a long time. An old woman who's alone, maybe you're someone's escaped slave?"
The door was being looked at by them, one of them chuckled and shook the dagger in his hand fiercely, "Take out all the money you have, otherwise..." Xie Wan Ning noticed that the two men were disheveled and had a bit of debauchery and satisfaction in their eyes. They must have come here to extort money after doing something next door.
There are four people, and two of them have come, which means there are still two accomplices who haven't finished their work.
Her heart was cold, and she shrank her neck in a timid manner, but she said nothing, for she was afraid that once she opened her mouth, the two of them would hear her voice and find out that she was a young girl.
The two men must have done this kind of thing many times, so they were not on guard at all. They looked at each other and moved towards the couch.
Xie Wan Ning reached into her bosom and took out all the jewelry she was wearing before she left that day.
A hairpin with a ruby hanging on it, a gold bracelet engraved with flying cloud patterns, a jade pendant used to hold down the hem of her skirt, and... and the ring that Ming Feng had picked up again, which could command all of Lu Ziyan's personal soldiers.
The moment she took out these four things, the two men's breathing paused, and their eyes were filled with greed.
Xie Wan Ning threw the things aside, and they rushed over to snatch them without any preparation.
At this moment, while the two men's attention was completely not on her, she pulled out the hidden dagger from her curled up legs, rushed over and cut the throat of the nearest person, and the hot blood sprayed on her face.
Since she was preparing to escape, how could she not prepare any weapons for self-defense? Lu Ziyan always had these things with him.
She didn't even need to ask for it. Seeing that she always liked to go out, the man gave her the dagger in his hand that was a pair with Cai Yue.
No matter how evil these guys are, they are nothing more than ruffians. They probably don't have any martial arts skills at all. They just take advantage of the unstable political power of the court in troubled times and specifically pick on lone women who are easy to bully.
This was Xie Wan Ning's first time to kill someone, but she was extremely calm. After killing one person, she swung the weapon that could cut through iron like mud again.
But this time, only the other man's arm was injured.
Perhaps because he had done too many evil things in the chaotic times, the other party's reaction was unexpectedly quick. When he saw his companion killed, he widened his eyes and cried out in pain.
