I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Shangguan Yue woke up and quickly pushed Xiao Yunteng away.

Looking at the empty arms, Xiao Yunteng felt a little lost. He actually liked the feeling of holding her. It was incredible. Normally, he hated it when Rong Xiaoxi was one foot close to him.

"Thank you for holding me up! Thank you for your help, but I don't know why I suddenly feel dizzy."

Shangguan Yue couldn't understand why she felt dizzy, but she recovered quickly. The strangest thing was that Bai Zhi was still lying on the ground, but she woke up.

"You should have practiced martial arts, right? But your skills are not strong. You are close to me and cannot withstand the strong internal force, so you will feel dizzy or vomit.

Your maid has no power at all, so her condition will be more serious and she may not wake up for an hour or two."

Xiao Yunteng scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He wanted to save people, but he was not thoughtful and caused the two girls to faint as soon as he made a move.

It seems that he needs to be more careful next time and keep them away when he attacks.

"It's okay. I want to see who dares to hurt me."

Shangguan Yue lifted her skirt, tucked it between her legs, and squatted down to check the man in black on the ground.

He untied the belt of the man in black and was about to turn over his clothes when Xiao Yunteng held his hand.

He blushed and stammered, "Girl, how can you undress a man? It's not right for men and women to touch each other!"

"Oh! He's just a dead body, no different from a dead pig, don't worry about it!"

Shangguan Yue has lived in modern times for more than 20 years, and the streets are full of men and women with bare chests and backs. He is just lifting up their clothes to take a look and look for clues. Why should he care about the rule of no physical contact?

"Huh? What's this pattern? Is this a dung beetle? Who would tattoo a dung beetle on their shoulder? Hahaha!"

Shangguan Yue lifted the clothes of a man in black and found a head that looked like half a dung beetle tattooed on his shoulder.

She almost laughed like a pig, but she had to maintain her image in front of outsiders, so she held it in, and her face turned red.

She lifted the clothes of several men in black at the shoulders and found that they all had the same pattern tattooed on them.

"County Lady, I think the tattoo should be of a scorpion's head, not a... dung... shell."

Xiao Yunteng spoke hesitantly, as he felt that those words were still a little uncivilized. His teacher had taught him since he was a child that he should not talk about shit, fart, or urine, as it was immoral.

"Isn't this a dung beetle? But now that you mention it, the pattern does look like a scorpion's head. What does this tattoo represent? Can it prove whose assassin it is?"

Shangguan Yue said to herself.

Xiao Yunteng always felt that this pattern was a little familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where it was.

Shangguan Yue felt that it was not something that an ordinary family could afford to support such a large number of assassins. Was it a wealthy merchant family? Did she offend them in business?

No! In her business, as long as you have money and skills, you can cooperate with her. There is no such thing as offending her.

Offended a high official? She was the county lady, her father was a general, and in the eyes of others, she and the Princess of Ziyan were sworn sisters, so she didn't have time to curry favor with them, and she wouldn't offend them.

The only possibility was that she had offended the emperor? She was the biggest taxpayer and had some business cooperation with the emperor, filling up the emperor's private treasury.

The old emperor is not short of money at all. Moreover, the country has been peaceful in recent years and there has been no war on the border, so it is impossible to offend him.

Could it be that someone wants to rebel? To rebel, they need to support the army, so they are short of money and want to arrest me?

No way? Being too rich is not a good thing, it will easily attract thieves.

If they really wanted to rebel, the several princes who were married and had children in their teens would have gone to their fiefdoms, but according to investigation, they did not take any action.

Therefore, they absolutely dare not extend their hands to the feet of the emperor. The only possibilities are the princes under the feet of the emperor.

It is impossible for Crown Prince Xiao Jin to rebel because the old emperor is already old and it won't be long before he will take over naturally.

Only the seventh prince Xiao Shen and the eighth prince Xiao Mian, who are now in their twenties, are suspects.

There was no need to talk about Xiao Shen, a man with a dagger hidden behind his smile. She had seen his sinister expression when he was not smiling.

Although the Eighth Prince Xiao Mian appears to be carefree and unconcerned about details, and seems to be displeased with the throne, who can believe and guarantee that he is not pretending?

If one grew up in a royal family without some scheming and tricks, he would have been killed like the naive Ninth Prince.

Thinking of the little fat boy of the Ninth Prince, Shangguan Yue felt a little sad. It was not easy to grow up in the royal family, with wealth and death as companions!

It’s a pity for the little fat boy. He was a good person. If he hadn’t been killed on the way to exile, he would have been seventeen years old now!

Shangguan Yue felt a little depressed. Even if this royal family member did not fight for that position, being born into the royal family would pose a threat to the superiors.

Forget it, why bother thinking about it. She doesn't have such worries, and her descendants won't have such worries either. Although she is also the ruler of a country, fortunately the Zi Yan Kingdom is not a country where the throne is inherited by descendants. She just needs to choose a capable person from another world before she passes away.

"Are you all okay? Bandage those who have external injuries first. Baizhi, wake up, wake up, we have to return home before it gets dark."

Shangguan Yue saw the guards who had fallen to the ground getting up one after another and hurried forward to check. Fortunately, their injuries were not too serious and they were still able to walk.

Bai Zhi's eyelids moved slightly. Shangguan Yue helped Bai Zhi up, shook her awake, and helped her lie down in the carriage.

Xiao Yunteng saw Shangguan Yue coming and going without asking him a single question, and felt a little aggrieved. Was he ignored by her because he was not injured?

"Yue...County Lady, can I go home with you?"

Xiao Yunteng stepped forward and gently tugged at Shangguan Yue's sleeve, and asked aggrievedly.

Hearing the timid voice and the sleeve being pulled, Shangguan Yue remembered this big black man. How could he, so tall and strong, speak like a little girl?

How could she take in a person of unknown origin? Just looking at his pitiful appearance, Shangguan Yue felt a little soft-hearted, because he had just saved them!

"Sir, I'm afraid it's not convenient to take you home. Thank you for saving us just now. I wonder what reward you want? I can give you all the gold, silver and treasures."

"No, County Master, I don't want any money. I just came down from the mountain and I'm homeless. I've also lost my fellow apprentices. County Master, you don't have any capable guards around you, and I'm good at martial arts.

Can I be the county lord's guard? As long as you take me in, I can do anything. Besides, I'm easy to feed and don't eat much."

"Puchi! It's not impossible to take you in. I don't even know your name, sir."

Shangguan Yue couldn't help laughing. This tall guy was a little dark, but his facial features were very good. Most importantly, he looked silly, which was quite cute.

Xiao Lan returned to the Zi Yan Kingdom. She did not have any suitable guards around her. The big black man had unfathomable martial arts skills and was more than capable of protecting her and the people around her.

And she always felt that his expression was inexplicably familiar to her.
