"You don't need to know this. Yingbao, follow me and I will tell you later." Xiao Mo said.
Yingbao: "Why should I go with you? What do you want to do? Xiao Mo, you swore before that if you hurt my family, you will be struck by lightning and die miserably."
Xiao Mo frowned and said, "I will not hurt you, nor your family, Yingbao, don't be stubborn."
Seeing that Yingbao was still extremely alert, Xiao Mo frowned and slowly raised his hand.
Suddenly, several masked men in black robes appeared behind him and headed straight for Yingbao.
Yingbao took a few steps back, and suddenly a dagger more than a foot long appeared in her hand.
These were items she had collected previously for the purpose of self-defense.
The men in black robes were approaching, but Yingbao was not afraid at all. In a flash, she had already exchanged several moves with them.
When passers-by saw this, they dodged and in the chaos, several lantern stands were knocked down.
Adults and children alike screamed in surprise, the entire street was in chaos, and everyone stayed away from the fighting scene.
The guards at the Princess's Mansion wanted to come over to help, but their master was entangled with those people, and they were moving so fast that they couldn't tell them apart.
In just a moment, the men in black robes fell to the ground, and the remaining few were seriously injured and bleeding profusely.
Xiao Mo's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
All mortals are useless trash!
It’s a pity that this body’s leg disease prevents him from doing it himself, otherwise, it’s just catching a little monster, why would he go through so much trouble.
Seeing Yingbao rushing towards him with the dagger in her hand flashing coldly, Xiao Mo sighed helplessly and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
As soon as Xiao Mo left, the crisis was temporarily resolved.
Yingbao didn't dare to chase into the darkness and could only turn back.
"Princess! How are you?" the guards rushed over and asked.
Yingbao: "It's okay, tie up all the assassins who are still alive."
"Yes!" The guards quickly restrained the injured man in black robe.
But not long after, several injured men in black robes all died.
Yingbao had expected this to happen, so she wiped the dagger and asked the guard to go to the county government office to ask someone to deal with the assassin's body. She stood on the steps, looked towards the street, and turned back home.
Chunniang and Erni came over in a hurry, "Baoer, what's going on?"
"A few assassins came, but they have been dealt with." Ying Bao said, "Mom, you should all stay at home for the time being and don't go anywhere."
She was not sure whether Xiao Mo would come again, nor could she guarantee that the man would keep his promise.
Yingbao was just curious as to why he wanted her to go with him.
Do you really want to get back what you lost
Chunniang didn't understand, but nodded: "Don't worry, Bao'er, we are not going anywhere. But who sent those assassins?"
"It's Xiao Mo." Ying Bao said, "Mother, you and the eldest and second aunts should go back to the room and rest first. I have something else to do. I will tell you in detail tomorrow."
After saying that, he asked the maids to send A Niang, eldest aunt, second aunt and Er Ni back to their rooms, and he went to the study alone.
"Xuanwu, come out." She sat down on the chair and called the little turtle.
A golden light flashed, and the little turtle lay on the table, looking a little listless.
Yingbao touched the little turtle's head and asked, "Then why did Xiaomo take me away?"
Xuanwu rolled his eyes: "How should I know? Maybe he has some obsession in his heart and has developed a demon in his heart."
Yingbao frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Why did he call me a little demon?"
Xuanwu shook his head: "I don't know. I'm not Bai Ze, how can I know everything?"
"But you are the mythical beast Xuanwu. Isn't the Tianyan Book made from your tortoise shell? It shouldn't be difficult to use it to make calculations."
"You wish!" Xuanwu was furious, crawled to the side angrily, and complained: "Every calculation takes me a hundred years of cultivation, just for a boring question, are you crazy?"
Yingbao shook her head regretfully: "Okay, forget it. I'm just curious."
Xuanwu was silent for a while, then slowly said, "The Supreme Immortal's family made their fortune by slaying dragons, and it has been like this for thousands of years. I will only tell you this."
Yingbao narrowed her eyes slightly: "Dragon slayer?"
Xuanwu stopped talking and suddenly turned into a ray of golden light and flew into Yingbao's eyebrows.
The study door was pushed open and Wei Zhan strode in.
"Yingbao, what happened earlier?" He held his wife's shoulders and carefully examined her: "Are you injured?"
"No." Yingbao leaned against his chest, closed her eyes and listened to Wei Zhan's violent heartbeat.
Wei Zhan hugged his wife and asked after a while: "What do you want to do here, Xiao Mo?"
Yingbao: "He told me to go with him."
Wei Zhan was immediately furious: "Did he really say that?"
"Well, I killed all his secret guards and he ran away." Yingbao told the truth.
Wei Zhan's heart tightened. He kissed the top of his wife's head and patted her back lovingly, "Are you tired? If he dares to come again next time, I will definitely help you get revenge!"
"good."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo did not show up again until the end of the first month of the year.
That day, Yingbao was about to rush back to Zhouhe County and wanted to leave a few guards to look after her parents, but Jiang Sanlang and Chunniang firmly disagreed.
"I have several servants at home, so why do I need guards? Besides, I'm not going anywhere. I'm just growing mushrooms and raising chickens and ducks at home. Oh, by the way, I originally wanted to take Youyou to the county town, but Youyou didn't want to come with me. Now she is being taken care of by my uncle and his family."
Chunniang took her daughter's hand and said, "Just go and do your own thing. Don't worry about the family. Come home and visit us when you have time."
Yingbao nodded.
If Zhouhe County didn't have a lot of things to deal with, she would have wanted to stay in Qinchuan County.
After saying goodbye to her parents, Yingbao got on the carriage and stuck her head out to wave at them.
Jiang Sanlang and Chunniang also waved to their daughter, "Be careful on the road."
The carriage slowly left until it could no longer be seen. Chunniang turned around and said to her elder sister-in-law who was standing beside her and wiping her tears: "Sister, Xiaolang will definitely have a bright future if he follows his cousin-in-law. You don't have to worry."
Jiang Yunniang sighed, "I have nothing to worry about. I'm just a little sad. If it weren't for his unreliable mother, why would he leave his hometown at such a young age?"
Besides, Xiaolang was raised by me, and he is no different from my biological son. Now that I leave, I don’t know when we will meet again.
Chunniang was silent.
She suddenly thought of her two sons, who were only two or three years older than Xiaolang, and were now in the capital city, more than a thousand miles away.
In a blink of an eye, it was March.
Wuyang is already a little over one year old and can walk a few steps with Anrou's help.
These days, Yingbao takes them and Wei Zhan to visit nearby towns and villages every day to see the spring scenery.
When the carriage stopped to rest, Xiaolang broke off some fresh willow branches from the willow trees by the river and weaved two wicker hats, one for Wuyang and one for Wei Fanzhi.
The two children were so happy that Wuyang even let go of Anrou's hand, staggered a few steps, fell down, then got up and continued walking.
In a short while, he was walking steadily.
"Look, Princess, Wuyang can walk now. He can walk without even having to cut the trip rope!" Xinghua exclaimed in surprise.
