After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

"What are you laughing at? You are still laughing when you are about to die. If you don't tell the truth, you will laugh in front of the King of Hell later." Fang Xiong threatened the man in black fiercely, using a tone that had never been heard before.

He then turned to his own people and ordered: "Take him away and take him to the dungeon."

"Haha, chuckle, chuckle," the leader of the black-clad men walked and laughed, and the louder he laughed, the louder he laughed. The young black-clad man who had not been caught yet heard his laughter. He was already extremely nervous and began to tremble. The sweat on his forehead could not stop flowing out. He didn't know what to do. No one here gave him instructions and taught him what to do.

In a panic, he saw Wan Ning and thought of his eldest brother's words just now, "We'll shoot this man in the chaos later, which will definitely disrupt the situation." It seemed to give him direction and great encouragement, so he quickly pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back, put it on the bow with trembling hands, and aimed at Le Yan's position.

Because of nervousness, sweat oozed from his palms and forehead. He wanted to shoot but didn't dare to. He closed his eyes and wiped the sweat from his hands on his clothes. When he opened his eyes, he made up his mind to shoot the arrow.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. It flew straight towards Wan Ning.

Wan Ning was standing there asking the soldiers about the location of Ziheng's dark room, completely unprepared. Fortunately, Ziheng came out of the dark room and vaguely heard Wan Ning's voice, so he quickened his pace. At this time, he just walked to the door and saw the black-clad man on the roof shoot out.

At the critical moment, Ziheng took advantage of the pillar to fly in the air, grabbed Wan Ning's shoulder and pulled her aside in a flash, and the arrow flew past her ear. Wan Ning lost her balance and fell into Ziheng's arms, still in shock and confusion. She raised her head and saw Ziheng's clear eyes full of anxiety, so she stammered: "Are you okay? Put me down quickly."

Ziheng let go of her hand embarrassedly, and she realized that her sleeve had been shot through by an arrow. If it weren't for Ziheng's quick eyes and hands, it would probably be her head that was shot through, and she felt a little scared.

"What are you looking at? Go and chase him." Fang Xiong called his men to chase him. The young man in black was timid to begin with. When he shot the arrow, he seemed to have lost his soul and stood there in a daze, unable to move. Because the arrow exposed his position, he was quickly caught by the soldiers.

This man was severely beaten and thrown directly from the roof. He fell to the ground with a loud bang and landed right in front of everyone. He curled up in pain, blood flowed out of his mouth uncontrollably, and he twitched involuntarily.

Wan Ning had never seen such a bloody scene before. Moreover, he was still young and his face looked immature. For a moment, it seemed that he was the one lying there in pain, and his heart twitched.

Suddenly, Wan Ning's eyes were covered by a big hand, preventing her from seeing such a bloody scene. Then he pulled her close to his chest, and Ziheng's voice sounded beside her, cold and emotionless: "Fang Xiong, take them all away for questioning."

He understood her compassion, and then added, "If they explain themselves well, I will spare their lives."

"Yes." Fang Xiong took the order, pulled the arrow from the pillar next to him, and respectfully presented it to Ziheng. Because it almost cost Wan Ning's life, Ziheng turned around in disgust, waving his hand to signal him to take them away quickly. The black-clad elder brother who was leading the group laughed again.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Wan Ning had come back to her senses and was confused listening to the black-clad man's laughter.

"Your Highness, it's already midnight. My mission was successful, so of course I'm happy. Hahahaha - I want to laugh even more, hahahaha -"

Wan Ning was stunned and panicked. The current situation certainly couldn't be called a success. So the truth could only be that the mission they were sent here for was not to set fire, so what could it be?

Wan Ning felt like she was falling into an abyss, and she didn't dare to think any further. If these people dared to be so arrogant, their real purpose would only be more terrifying.

He almost cried out in a wail: "My food! It's all over. This is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

She had tried every possible way to raise this batch of food. It was not only the result of everyone's hard work, but also related to the lives of the victims. This was the most important thing to her now. Wan Ning turned around and wanted to run out like crazy, but was stopped by Ziheng.

"What are you doing? I want to check my food supplies. This must be their target." She said in a crying and pleading tone.

Ziheng pulled her back to his side, patted her back gently to help her calm down, and then, without even looking at the man in black, he said provocatively: "You are wrong, it is only the hour of Hai now."

As if it was an agreement made in advance, after Ziheng finished speaking, a bunch of fireworks exploded in the northern sky, just like a sun appeared in the thunder, brilliantly lighting up half of the sky. Wan Ning stood there in a daze, looking at Ziheng expectantly, anxious to get an answer.

"Your Majesty, I have received news from the front that all the criminals who attacked the warehouse have been arrested. Please make the decision, Your Majesty." Fang Xiong clenched his fists, stepped forward and reported to Ziheng in a serious tone.

After hearing this, Ziheng lowered his head to look at Wan Ning who was about to cry, with a slight smug look on his face as if asking for praise.

"My food is all safe, right?" Wan Ning asked weakly.

"Fang Xiong, just tell her?" Seeing Le Yan's aggrieved look, Ziheng thought she was really cute and couldn't bear to see her worry any longer, so he simply let Fang Xiong tell her everything.

"Yes, Princess Le Yan, the wise and mighty emperor had long anticipated their tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so he was prepared. Your food is safe and will be sent to Sangcheng tomorrow as planned."

After the excitement, Wan Ning thought about how they were hiding it, and turned around and complained, "I hate it so much, why didn't you tell me and made me worry for so long in vain."

Ziheng was not annoyed but rather enjoyed it. He looked at the excited Wan Ning with a doting look on his face, took her hand and said, "This happened suddenly. I didn't want to tell you and make you worry, but I didn't expect it would make you even more worried. I won't do that next time."

Fang Xiong coughed, then interrupted them embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready. Please ask Your Majesty and Princess to go to the warehouse site..."

Wan Ning didn't hear what was said next. She realized her mistake and pulled her hand away. She blushed and lowered her head. She followed Fang Xiong's instructions, walked out of the door, and got on the carriage with the emperor to see the warehouse.

When getting on the carriage, Wan Ning looked at the "wounded" lying at the door. They had all taken off their wounded makeup, and when they untied the bandages, they were all weapons. These people were not disaster victims but soldiers. Wan Ning was upset. If she had looked more carefully, she would have seen many flaws, but she had been deceived for so long without noticing.

Ziheng helped Le Yan onto the carriage, and the two sat opposite each other without saying a word.

"Yanyan, are you still angry?" Ziheng asked in a gentler tone.

"No," Le Yan's face was sullen. She did look angry, but she was angry about why she didn't see the truth.

"I'm not angry yet. Your eyebrows are all connected like this." He made a sign with his hands, "This time it was really an emergency. I realized halfway through that it was probably a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. I promise that there will never be a next time. I'm not angry this time."

Not only did these words not make Wan Ning happy, but she started crying out of grievance. Ziheng was at a loss as to what to do. He stood up and sat next to Wan Ning, patting her on the back but was rejected by Wan Ning with a wave of her hand. She just lowered her head and cried.

"Well, you knew they would come to attack the warehouse, and you took all the guards away. You still left us, Xiang Wanxuan, in such a dangerous place." Wan Ning said breathlessly because of sobbing, "Did you do this on purpose?"

Ziheng suddenly realized that Wan Ning felt that Ziheng deliberately disregarded her safety and abandoned her in danger, which was why she felt so wronged.

But in fact, Wan Ning herself didn't know why she was crying. Reason told her not to cry. She and Ziheng had no relationship at all. There was no reason for him to consider her in everything he did. But emotionally, she couldn't stop crying. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. She hated herself for crying now. That was the self she was gradually losing.

Although Ziheng knew why she felt wronged, he didn't understand a girl's mind, so he just explained anxiously: "I will never put you in danger. The warehouse was already heavily guarded before they arrived. I'm afraid that group of people were captured before they had a chance to make a move. Yanyan, believe me, the most important things in the warehouse must be placed in the safest place."

Wan Ning looked at him with tears in her eyes. Seeing his bright and concerned expression, Wan Ning cried even harder. She murmured softly in a sobbing voice: "Please don't be so nice to me, Ziheng, I'll be scared."

Ziheng heard what she said, but he didn't know what she was afraid of. So he kept silent and waited by her side, lending her his shoulder for support and reaching out to wipe away the crystal clear tears on her face.

After a while, Wan Ning's reason overcame her emotions. She tried her best to avoid the throbbing and changed the subject, asking, "Ziheng, you are really smart. Otherwise, you could be the emperor! But all the officers and soldiers were sent to put out the fire. Where can we find people to guard the warehouse?"

"The front is almost there, you will know in a moment."
