After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

After all, it's not a court session, so comfort and propriety are the most important thing.

"Come here quickly. You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat together." Zhong Ning waved his hand to let everyone leave, then smiled at Fang Ping.

Fang Ping took two steps forward, lifted his robe, and sat down at the table. He stared at Zhong Ning with his sharp eyes, as if he could see through him.

Zhong Ning was a little scared by his gaze and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? You were in a daze as soon as you came in..."

Fang Ping shook his head slightly, his voice slightly hoarse:

"I heard that the princess's mansion was attacked last night... I was a little worried, so I came to check... I'm glad you're okay!"

Zhong Ning was silent for a moment, then he said in a low voice:

"Well, I killed a lot of people... Tell me, if this happened to us, would it be considered self-defense?"

"Forget it..." Fang Ping said, "It's not your fault. You were fighting back in self-defense!"

"I feel relieved when you say that. Otherwise, I would always be afraid of having nightmares!" Zhong Ning thought of the blood and screams that night, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

Fang Ping glanced around and closed the hall door again.

Then he took out a box from the space, opened the box, and inside was an assault rifle.

Zhong Ning looked at the gun that suddenly appeared in front of him in disbelief, "This, this is..."

Fang Ping lowered his voice and said closer:

"I told you before that before coming here, I was attending a party on a luxury cruise ship, but what I didn't tell you was that the cruise ship was a private cruise ship owned by an American..."

"I was able to play a supporting role in a film directed by a famous director thanks to the help of one of my brothers. Although the film hadn't been released yet, it was nominated for a foreign award. That's how I got the chance to go to Country M."

"Two days before the red carpet, I had the opportunity to attend a cruise ship party. There was a team of mercenaries on duty on that cruise ship, so after hearing that you had been assassinated, I found these on the bottom floor of the cruise ship!"

Fang Ping pushed the gun box toward Zhong Ning and said, "Put it in your space. If you encounter a life-or-death crisis, this is your chance to strike back."

"Such an important matter, please tell me..." Zhong Ning felt a little complicated. Did Fang Ping trust her too much?

Although she thinks she is a good person, she is not good enough to be believed without any bottom line.

"Didn't you say it before? We are all Chinese people. We should unite and support each other!" Fang Ping's eyes were bright and bright like the morning glow.

Zhong Ning looked at Fang Ping with some confusion. "You don't look like an 18th-tier actor in the entertainment industry, do you?"

"I've already said that I'm relying on my good brother's influence. I may be an 18th-tier star, but who can blame me for having a good brother who's a rich second-generation. Okay, I'll explain our family affairs to you later. This matter is more important now."

Fang Ping simply skipped over the details and pointed at the gun box before continuing:

"This box has two layers. The top layer contains a gun, and the bottom layer contains bullets. There are only twenty bullets, so unless you are in a life-or-death crisis, try not to touch it!"

Fang Ping said this and then asked, "Can you use it?"

Zhong Ning shook her head. Guns are banned in China. How could she, a commoner, know this?

"I'll teach you... The movie I was in happened to be a war scene, so I can barely learn it!"

Fang Ping said, picking up the rifle and demonstrating: "This gun can be operated with one hand. Hold the gun with your right hand, place your thumb on the top of the gun to ensure the gun is stable, and use your index and middle fingers to pull the trigger, like this..."

Zhong Ning took a general look and then started practicing.

There were no bullets in the gun, but Fang Ping stood beside Zhong Ning and gave him instructions step by step.

Zhong Ning was being guided by Fang Ping to familiarize himself with the gun operation techniques, and he didn't even notice that he was half holding the person in his arms while operating the aiming.

"Yes, that's right... You should practice your sense of direction when you're alone... If that's not convenient, you can also practice archery or darts. Weapons are all related, and sense of direction is especially important."

"You have to practice until you can hit whatever you point at. That's when you really master the art."

Fang Ping's clear voice sounded from his side. Zhong Ning held the gun and aimed at a small jade bottle not far away in the room.

Then he put the gun into the box and put the entire box into the space.

"Thank you, but this is too valuable. I can't take it for free." Zhong Ning waved his hand slightly, and a medium-sized wooden box appeared at his feet. The box was full of gold bars.

It was one of the boxes of treasures she brought back from Zhenguo Temple.

Fang Ping's expression changed slightly, and he suppressed his anger and growled:

"Do you think I gave you this just for the money? If I wasn't afraid that you'd die, would I have to go through so much trouble?"

"You mean well, but I can't ask for it for nothing..." Zhong Ning tried to explain. She didn't want to have conflicts with her fellow villagers over some trivial matters.

"You really want to distance yourself from me???"

"That's not what I meant... What's wrong with you? This is the first time I've seen you like this... If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me and I will help you solve it..."

Zhong Ning's face was a little solemn. Fang Ping had always been heartless, and this was the first time she saw him lose his composure like this.

"I'm fine..." Fang Ping sighed heavily, waved his hand, and put the box of gold into the space. He looked at Zhong Ning intently, "I want to ask you, have you ever thought about going back?"

"Of course I want to go back...but I haven't found a way yet..."

"Heh," Fang Ping sneered, "Your Highness, you are now of noble status and are about to marry the Prime Minister's legitimate son. They are a match made in heaven, and you are so happy that you can't wait to go back."

"What do you want to say?" Zhong Ning heard the sarcasm in that and said speechlessly:

"Didn't you say that after finally coming here, I naturally have to enjoy having three wives and four concubines? This palace is the same. After finally becoming a princess, I naturally have to take in a few more concubines. Is that wrong?"

"I..." Fang Ping turned his head away uncomfortably and explained in a low voice, "I was just saying that. Have you seen me getting close to any woman?"

"You can get close to me, I'm not stopping you." Zhong Ning felt puzzled, and then he thought, could it be that he hasn't met someone he likes?

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning immediately lowered his voice and leaned closer, saying, "You haven't met anyone yet, right? If not, what type do you like? How about I introduce you to someone?"

“No need…” Fang Ping suddenly took two steps back, his eyes complicated. “I’m just advising you. If you’re sure you want to go back, you should avoid getting too involved with the men of this era…”

"What if we can't go back?" Zhong Ning asked.

"Since we're here, we'll live one day at a time. If we ever go back, we'll just think of this as a dream. When we wake up, we'll all go our separate ways."
