In her opinion, if she went back on her own initiative, she could at least explain everything to Xiao Yi with dignity and clarity; but if she was rudely arrested by the soldiers, no matter how she explained, Xiao Yi would probably not believe her at all, and all her previous efforts and plans would be wasted.

Just as she took a breath and adjusted her breathing, she suddenly heard a dull and powerful sound of footsteps from behind, approaching from afar and getting closer and closer.

Shen Bingning was shocked. Could it be that he was caught up so quickly?

She looked up and saw a high wall at the end of the alley. There was no way to escape. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart.

Helplessly, she slowly turned around and prepared to make a final attempt: "Master Jun, please listen to my explanation--"

However, before she finished her words, her expression froze.

What appeared before her were not the soldiers she expected, but a group of men with wretched faces and a bad aura.

Their eyes flashed with ill intent, and the leading man whistled nonchalantly, with a cynical smile on his face, and said frivolously:

"Little girl, we are short of money recently, can you lend us some money?"

The corners of Shen Bingning's mouth twitched slightly, and she smiled bitterly in her heart.

My friend, isn't the timing of your robbery a bit inappropriate? !

"Why is this girl silent? Is she mute?"

A man on the left murmured quietly, but the leader knocked his head in displeasure: "Have you ever seen such a beautiful mute?"

The leading man glared at him fiercely, then looked Shen Bingning up and down in a greasy tone, and smiled maliciously:

"Little girl, are you scared by us? Don't be afraid, the brothers won't hurt you."

Shen Bingning retreated again and again, but with every step she took, those people followed closely. Soon she was forced into a corner and fell into a desperate situation.

At this critical moment, a figure in the dark quietly moved.

"We found the queen. She seems to be being harassed by a group of thugs."

The cold voice contained no emotion, as indifferent as its owner. The secret guard "Zuo" reported expressionlessly, his eyes fixed on Shen Bingning in the alley like a hawk.

Then, a black shadow flashed like a ghost. Both of them were wearing black masks, revealing only a pair of eyes as sharp as knives. They exchanged glances with each other.

The secret guard "Right" glanced at Shen Bingning who was trapped in the corner, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Shen Bingning's angry rebuke: "Do you have any professional ethics?! Why did you show up at this time?!"

This angry rebuke not only stunned the two secret guards, but also made the thugs look at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Shen Bingning put her hands on her hips, looking aggressive, with anger burning in her eyes.

Seeing this, the secret guard "Zuo" asked in a low voice: "Action now?"

"Observe again, the situation is unclear."

The secret guard "Right" responded calmly while paying close attention to the development of the situation.

The leading man in the group of thugs was the first to come to his senses. Anger flashed across his face and he roared, "What is this girl talking about?!"

Shen Bingning raised her chin slightly, there was no fear in her eyes, and the anger in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

How great it would have been if they had shown up earlier and everything went according to plan. But the reality is that they disappeared at the critical moment, and only after things were resolved did they jump out to show their presence. How could this not make people annoying?

She clenched her fists. Thinking about having to face Xiao Yi's questioning, coupled with the mess in front of her, she could no longer suppress the irritation and anger in her heart.

So she swung her fist suddenly and hit the man in the face.

Seeing this, the man sneered and mocked nonchalantly: "Little girl, you still want to fight - Ouch!"

However, when his seemingly small fist hit him in the face, the severe pain made him wake up instantly. His face was hit to one side and a rusty sweet taste surged into his mouth.

He staggered back, finally steadying himself, and put his hand on his instantly swollen left cheek. His eyes were filled with disbelief at first, and then turned into raging anger:

"You bitch! How dare you hit me! Come on!"

Seeing this, the other thugs rolled up their sleeves and rushed over viciously.

Shen Bingning was not willing to show weakness. She was agile and moved among the crowd like a fish. She used the agility and flexibility unique to women to easily avoid those clumsy attacks.

Her slaps rained down like raindrops, and each one was accompanied by her curses, loud and powerful:

"Robbery, huh? Playing rogue, huh? Where's your upbringing? Don't you know how to respect women? And you dare to hit on me? Let me tell you, when I was robbing you, you were still breastfeeding!"

The secret guard "Zuo" who was watching the battle from the tree asked quietly: "Are you still going to save the queen?"

The secret guard "Right" was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "Look again..."

Under Shen Bingning's fierce attack, several big men cried for their parents, covering their swollen faces like pigs, and begged for mercy: "Auntie, spare me! Stop hitting me!"

After a fierce outburst, Shen Bingning finally stopped, shook her numb wrist, and asked coldly, "Do you know you are wrong? Will you dare to do it again in the future?"

Several people looked at each other, their swollen faces almost covering their eyes, and said in unison: "We won't dare to do it again! We won't dare to do it again!"

"That's pretty much it."

Shen Bingning nodded with satisfaction. Although she was still holding her breath, she knew that at least these guys had gotten the lesson they deserved.

Shen Bingning nodded with satisfaction, a sly smile on her lips, and then she gracefully extended her hand, as if all this was within her expectations, and said as a matter of course:

"Hand over the money."

"what?"

Several thugs looked at each other and looked up in surprise, as if they had heard some incredible request.

"what?"

Guards Left and Right looked at each other in disbelief, wondering secretly in their hearts, is this woman with noble manners really the Queen they are supposed to protect, and not some female mountain king who has strayed into the mortal world?

Shen Bingning argued confidently, with a playful gleam in her eyes:

"The money in your hands is stained with injustice. I will be a good person to the end and help you cleanse your soul and get rid of these filthy things!"

Thinking of the handful of copper coins that she had to throw away in order to escape the pursuers, her heart still ached.

Now, I can recover the losses from these hooligans. God is really helping me! Shen Bingning couldn't help but be overjoyed, but her face remained calm.

The men looked hesitant, as they had worked hard to earn this money and could not let it go easily.

But Shen Bingning didn't allow them to hesitate. She raised her fist slightly, her eyes were sharp, and her voice was filled with unquestionable majesty:

"What are you looking at? Do you want to experience the power of my fist?"
