Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 248: Death by Knife
The three bandits dragged Ming Xia and retreated quickly.
Leng Shuang's pupils suddenly shrank. She wanted to snatch Ming Xia back, but the other bandits came after her like wolves and tigers, leaving her unable to cope.
After a while, the three gangsters took a detour back to the leader.
The bandit leader glanced at the frightened Ming Xia, his face full of surprise. After working hard for a while, he just caught a useless little maid. What bad luck!
He looked at the people on the opposite side who were locked in a stalemate, and a wave of anxiety surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but clench his teeth. Although they had made arrangements in advance and no one would break in for a short time, the expressionless maid's martial arts skills were too strong, and she had protected Jiang Muxue tightly. It was likely that it would be difficult to capture Jiang Muxue for a while.
His eyes flickered, revealing a hint of resentment. Today's plan was likely to fail. Fortunately, his master was accustomed to taking multiple approaches and must have arranged for other personnel. If they could distract the expressionless maid, making it easier for the others to proceed, then their merits would be offset, and perhaps their master would spare them the punishment.
He glanced coldly at Ming Xia again, his heart moving slightly, wondering if this useless little maid could become the bait?
Thinking of this, he reached out and pinched Ming Xia's chin, looked at her carefully for a few seconds, and laughed out loud: "Not bad, not bad, brothers, you caught the most tender and beautiful one in one move. This is my favorite."
He let go of Ming Xia's chin, looked up at the falling snow, and suddenly put his finger to his lips and blew a loud whistle, his tone somewhat frivolous and playful: "Brothers, let's go back and have some fun. Let's drink and enjoy ourselves today."
After receiving the order, the bandits stopped fighting Leng Shuang and retreated quickly like a tide. They all cast greedy and fiery eyes on Ming Xia, rubbing their hands as if they were going to eat her alive.
Ming Xia's eyes were filled with fear and despair, and her petite body was trembling in the flying snow.
A group of bandits took Ming Xia hostage and walked swaggeringly into the depths of the alley.
Jiang Muxue watched the bandits depart, feeling a weight of grief weighing down her heart. Ming Xia and the others had been by her side since they were seven or eight years old, spending every day and night with her at the Marquis of Jing'an's residence. They were like her own daughters. How could she bear to watch Ming Xia being humiliated?
Jiang Muxue's eyes were red, and she raised her legs to chase Ming Xia, but was stopped by Leng Shuang: "Madam, your safety is the most important..."
Zhiqiu also grabbed Jiang Muxue's sleeve, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "Madam, Leng Shuang is right, those people are definitely not good people, you can't go. As for Mingxia... I just hope that good things will come to her. Let's go to the Dali Temple to report the case, arrest those evildoers, and seek justice for her."
Jiang Muxue shook her head vigorously, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes, and whispered softly: "No, if that happens, even if Mingxia can come back alive, her life will be ruined."
She wiped away her tears with her sleeve, her eyes determined as she spoke, "The Jiang family has protected the people of Dongling for generations. If I, Jiang Muxue, stand by and watch someone die, I would be unworthy of being a descendant of the Jiang family. So I must go and save Mingxia. It's not too late." She turned to look at Leng Shuang and said in a deep voice, "Leng Shuang, go and save Mingxia immediately. Zhiqiu and I will go to the Dali Temple to report the case."
Leng Shuang's face was stern, and she immediately refused: "No, no matter what, this servant will never leave Madam's side."
Leng Shuang didn't show it on her face, but a trace of worry flashed through her heart. She had been with the maids in Yingxueju and Li'anyuan for so long that she had already regarded them as her own family.
Jiang Muxue frowned and said anxiously, "The gang of criminals has retreated. This place is safe for the time being."
She suddenly picked up the dagger that the bandit had dropped and continued, "Besides, don't underestimate me. I'm the daughter of a great general. I've learned some self-defense skills since I was young. I'm definitely not a lamb to be slaughtered."
She gripped the dagger tightly in her hand, her voice filled with unquestionable determination: "Leng Shuang, go and save Ming Xia immediately. This is an order!"
Leng Shuang sighed softly, seeing Jiang Muxue's determination. She quickly pulled out a flare and fired it into the air, but the falling snow was like a ruthless curtain, completely obscuring the signal. She whispered to herself, "God bless a shadow guard nearby who happened to see this flare..."
She frowned and whispered, "Madam, I'll be back soon. You must be careful." She turned to look at Zhiqiu and warned, "Zhiqiu, you must be alert and protect Madam."
After saying that, Leng Shuang flew to the top of the wall, looked around carefully, and after making sure that there was no ambush nearby, he flashed and rushed in the direction the bandits left.
In order to divert Leng Shuang's attention, the gang of criminals moved very slowly. When Leng Shuang caught up with them, they had just reached the end of the alley.
"Evil villains, where are you running to!" Leng Shuang shouted, his body was as fast as the wind, and his sword was sharp as a knife, stabbing straight at the gang of bandits.
The bandit leader's lips curled slightly as he said excitedly, "It's done! Brothers, if we can keep her busy for a cup of tea, our mission today will be accomplished!"
Ming Xia was pulled to the side of the alley by a knife-wielding bandit. Although she was not good at speaking, she was not stupid. She immediately understood that Leng Shuang had fallen into the trap of this group of villains in order to save her. She was afraid that the lady would be in danger!
Her face was pale, her heart was beating like a drum, and she suddenly turned around and shouted at Leng Shuang: "You've fallen into the trap, go back and protect the lady..."
The villain who was guarding Ming Xia was shocked and rushed forward to cover Ming Xia's mouth, but Ming Xia's eyes were full of determination and he rushed towards his blade fiercely.
In an instant, hot blood gushed out like angry flames, sprinkling on the villain's face and body, and dyeing the white snowflakes crimson, like the most poignant and beautiful flowers in winter.
With a "bang", Ming Xia's petite body fell heavily to the ground. Her eyes were wide open, and the last bit of light in her black pupils had dissipated.
Leng Shuang's eyes were bloodshot. She had never expected that Ming Xia, who was usually taciturn and timid, would be so resolute! She couldn't let Ming Xia's sacrifice go to waste. After angrily killing the two bandits, she quickly ran back.
Over there, as soon as Leng Shuang left, the hitchhiker crawled out from under the carriage. He moved in front of Jiang Muxue and Zhiqiu on trembling legs, his face full of fear and uneasiness: "Husband... Madam, I..."
Zhiqiu's face was full of vigilance. He quickly stepped in front of Jiang Muxue and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
The servant wiped away his tears and choked out, "I... just now, when they were fighting in chaos, they couldn't take care of me, so I secretly hid under the carriage..."
He looked up at Jiang Muxue, his scarlet eyes filled with fear and resentment: "Madam, those evil people killed the coachman. I will accompany you to the Dali Temple to report the case. I must avenge the coachman!"
Jiang Muxue looked at the servant with gentle eyes, and a ray of light shone into her heavy heart. She had originally thought that the servant had been doomed, but she had not expected that he had escaped. Being able to avoid losing a life was truly a blessing in disguise.
She nodded slightly to the servant and said softly, "Okay, let's go without further ado!" After that, she turned around and walked towards the two horses pulling the carriage.
The servant followed closely behind Jiang Muxue. A fierce look suddenly flashed in his eyes. He reached into his bosom, pulled out a gleaming dagger, and stabbed it fiercely at Jiang Muxue...
