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

Seeing this, Cui Zhao smiled with satisfaction: "Your Highness, how does it taste?"

Zhong Ning raised his pale face and said weakly, "How does it taste? Mr. Cui will know if he tries it too."

"I dare not. I am not as brave and heroic as Your Highness..." The mocking words rang in his ears. Zhong Ning seemed to be unable to support himself and collapsed to the ground.

But she remembered what Cui Zhao had just said, that as long as she drank the power-dissolving powder, he would release the four people, so she immediately forced herself to stand up. She pulled the railing desperately and stood up bit by bit.

His eyes were stubborn and his voice was cold: "Let him go..."

Cui Zhao burst into laughter, tapping his closed folding fan against his palm. "Little Princess, how can you be so naive? You've already drunk the Power-Dissolving Powder. Now your martial arts skills are completely crippled. What can you use to negotiate with me, Cui?"

Zhong Ning looked extremely weak at the moment, almost collapsing. His hands, clinging tightly to the railing, had turned pale. "How dare you lie to me?"

Cui Zhao had no respect at this point, and only smiled and said, "I dare not. How about this, Your Highness can choose one of these four people. Remember, you can only save one..."

Zhong Ning looked over and saw that all four of them were struggling to look at him, even Zhou Ge had managed to wake up.

But he knew very well that any one of these four people was much more important than him, so he did not dare to plead.

"No, all four must be released..."

"It seems that Princess Zhaohua doesn't know what's good for her," Cui Zhao sneered, and then said, "I will count to three. If Princess Zhaohua doesn't choose, I will kill one at random..."

Cui Zhao looked at Zhong Ning with even more excitement, "One..."

Zhong Ning's eyes changed instantly, and the four people hanging in the air also trembled in their hearts. They also wanted to know, in this situation of choosing one from four, who would Zhong Ning choose?

Gu Mingzhe was secretly looking forward to it.

Shen Yan closed his eyes, already having a guess in his mind.

Fang Ping was already in so much pain from being hung up that he felt like he was going to die if he hung up any longer. If that was the case, he might as well just die.

Zhou Ge lowered his eyes, knowing that no matter who His Highness chose, it would not be him.

"Two..." Cui Zhao said loudly again, staring at Zhong Ning, wanting to see how she would decide.

Cui Zhao raised his hand, and the iron cage that trapped Zhong Ning was instantly pulled up. Zhong Ning supported his body with one hand, half falling to the ground, with a dark light flashing in his eyes!

"Three..." Cui Zhao was furious and said angrily: "Do it..."

"Wait..." Zhong Ning suddenly stopped him, "Fang Ping, I choose Fang Ping..."

The current situation is that all roads are blocked by these assassins. Even if the others are released, they cannot escape. Only Fang Ping has a chance to escape.

Zhong Ning chose Fang Ping without hesitation, saving as many people as possible.

"Haha..." Cui Zhao laughed wildly and wantonly, clapped his hands, and had someone put Fang Ping down and bring him to Zhong Ning.

"I've long heard that the eldest son of the Gu family is the future consort, but now it seems that this consort is not favored by Princess Zhaohua..." Cui Zhao laughed at her. "At this moment of life and death, she actually chose another man..."

Gu Mingzhe felt a pain in his heart and his face turned pale.

He had long known how important Fang Ping was to Zhong Ning, but today he realized that his importance surpassed everyone else's.

Including him...

Fang Ping didn't know how long he had been hanging. Only when his feet touched the ground did he truly feel that he was still alive.

He moved to Zhong Ning's side with difficulty, his eyes filled with gratitude and joy. He was grateful that he finally didn't have to be hung anymore, and he was happy that Zhong Ning chose him among the four options.

The iron cage mechanism was hoisted up.

Because they were no longer afraid that Zhong Ning would counterattack. A person who had taken the power-destroying powder would have no choice but to surrender, no matter how high her martial arts skills were.

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhong Ning's eyes. This was the moment she had been waiting for.

"Aning..." Fang Ping moved over immediately when the cage opened.

Zhong Ning raised his eyes, smiled weakly, and whispered: "I'm fine, I said I would take you home..."

"Aning..."

Fang Ping, ignoring the pain all over his body, held Zhong Ning tightly in his arms.

Zhong Ning took advantage of this opportunity and whispered in his ear:

"I'll throw you out of the danger zone in a moment. Take the opportunity to hide in the space. It will take me about half an hour to deal with these people. Wait half an hour before coming out."

To outsiders, it looked like two lovers were hugging each other regardless of worldly opinions. However, only Fang Ping knew that at this moment, Zhong Ning was thinking about how to get him out first.

She had said before that no matter what happened, he would not be implicated and she would definitely find a way to bring him back.

Even if I can't go home, I will protect him.

He always thought that Zhong Ning was just comforting him, but now he realized that her every word and action was putting her original intention into practice.

When Gu Mingzhe saw this scene, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He was heartbroken but also more confused. He had been watching the two of them interacting. Although they were far apart, he could still clearly hear what Zhong Ning said.

Yes, he can lip read.

When he was raised by his grandmother in his hometown, there was a wet nurse with a damaged throat. At that time, he learned lip reading.

Although he couldn't see clearly what they said when they hugged each other, he clearly saw the first words Zhong Ning said to Fang Ping before that.

Zhong Ning said, I said I would take you home...

Go home? Which home?

If Fang Ping is her home, then what is he?

Gu Mingzhe was confused, but then he saw Zhong Ning suddenly attack, pick up Fang Ping with one hand and throw him far away...

Uh...it was thrown onto the attic, even further away.

Cui Zhao's expression suddenly changed: "Come back!" After roaring this, he looked at Zhong Ning with bloodshot eyes: "You are not poisoned? Impossible, I saw you take the medicine with my own eyes..."

Zhong Ning smiled faintly, leaped lightly, and turned like a whirlwind onto the huge bronze green dragon ornament. She was dressed in brocade and looked like a goddess.

With a wave of her small hand, a handful of pear blossom needles flew out from her sleeves, and all the assassins who had just turned around to chase Fang Ping were shot in the back and fell to the ground dead.

"Since I dare to come here, how can I not make any preparations?" Zhong Ning looked down at Cui Zhao with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Shoot... Shoot..." Cui Zhao shouted in horror. In just a moment, a rain curtain formed by countless arrows attacked Zhong Ning. Zhong Ning spread his arms, and countless internal forces formed layers of ripples in the air.

She drew a circle in the air, and her internal energy enveloped her, and all the flying arrows were frozen in mid-air.

Zhong Ning started to move forward again, her slender and tender white hands were like waves, forming graceful arcs in the air.

In an instant, all the arrows were redirected. Zhong Ning crossed his hands, then spread them out from his chest and pushed them out along the Tai Chi movement.

All the arrows that were originally shot at her were shot back the same way they came.

The speed was so fast that people could not react in time. Those arrow-wielding warriors were all pierced through the heart by the arrows they shot.

Cui Zhao was shocked and said in fear: "Come on, come on all of you..."

A group of archers fell down, and a large number of people with swords and knives rushed up. Zhong Ning took out a round magnet from his arms (actually from the space) and condensed it in mid-air with his internal force.

(Daily Question: Can you still keep generating energy for love today? I think I can... Yeah... Keep going! I'll be waiting for you at the finish line!)
