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

She first released the new batch of assassins that had been stored in the space today. After coming into contact with the outside air, those assassins woke up immediately.

Seeing Zhong Ning, he knelt down and said, "Your subordinate greets the master!"

"Stand up!" Zhong Ning said lightly, her expression as cold as before. Then she clenched her fingers and whistled three times towards the inside of the courtyard, two long and one short.

Immediately, hundreds of assassins leaped over from different places and lined up neatly into two columns.

"I've been bullied, and today I'm going to seek revenge. Are you willing to join me in making a name for myself?"

Zhong Ning tiptoed, stood on a rockery in a courtyard, and shouted loudly to the assassins below.

Just these words alone, and everyone below knelt on the ground in unison: "We are willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After taking her loyalty pill, these assassins became her puppets, and would only obey her orders for the rest of their lives.

Since the day they became death squads, they were no longer considered human beings, but just killing machines. Such machines naturally have to be controlled in their own hands.

"Okay, close your eyes. I have a magic trick that can take you to..."

Upon hearing this, all the assassins closed their eyes immediately.

Zhong Ning collected them into the space through the air, and then summoned the teleportation talisman from her own space. This talisman was a rare item she drew out after she successfully survived the death crisis for the first time.

Since I never had the chance to use it, I kept it until now.

This talisman can only be reused ten times, after which its energy will be wasted.

Zhong Ning slapped the teleportation talisman into his chest, and then his whole body moved forward quickly like a shadow.

Each step was as fast as a shadow, and in an instant they covered dozens of kilometers.

If you look closely from behind, it looks like a ghost, teleporting to a new direction extremely quickly.

To reach Qinghe County from the capital, it would take five days by land on a fast horse, and almost three and a half days by water.

The teleportation talisman used by Zhong Ning took only an hour to reach the destination.

.......

Qinghe County, Cui Mansion.

Zhong Ning, dressed in a black nightgown, stood on the eaves of the main courtyard of Cui's house, listening carefully to the discussions inside:

"I wonder how the plan is being implemented in the capital? I always feel uneasy..." A slightly vicissitudes of life voice sounded. It was Cui Yan, the old man of the Qinghe Cui family.

"Don't worry, father. If we all join forces and work together with the assassins left by Prince An, we will be able to deal with a little girl more than enough..." The speaker was Cui Pingshu, the current head of the Qinghe Cui family.

In his opinion, no matter how powerful Princess Zhaohua was, she was just a little girl with good martial arts skills. He didn't believe that a little girl could escape from the joint siege of hundreds of assassins.

They had no intention of making enemies with the imperial court, so they planned to use courtesy before force. They would first invite the little princess to have a good talk, and if she didn't obey, they would just kill her directly.

Dad, what a fool! He is so worried about a little girl.

Did he think that so many people couldn't bring back a little girl?

How ridiculous!

Old Master Cui's expression remained solemn, and he continued, "What you said the other day, that Princess Zhaohua intended to interfere in government affairs and implement some reforms... is that true?"

"Really? This is the news from our spies in the palace. Moreover, according to the informant in the Heavenly Prison, Prince An seems to have gone crazy after entering the Heavenly Prison. He doesn't recognize his relatives and is oblivious to the world..." Cui Pingshu frowned and continued:

"Prince An must have heard some rumors at the time, and Princess Zhaohua was worried that the news from Prince An would leak out, so she took preemptive action."

"That's her uncle. This little girl is too cruel..."

Old Master Cui also sighed: "Over the years, we have been secretly interacting with Prince An and Prince Lu, and have done a lot of things. But after just two days of good times, Princess Zhaohua suddenly appeared..."

"Who said it wasn't true... This bitch is really troublesome. She ruined Fangyuan, a beautiful place..." Uncle Cui Ping looked indignant.

Speaking of Fang Garden, Old Master Cui asked worriedly, "Is Qin Garden clean?"

"Don't worry, father. We have moved to the villa in the northern suburbs a long time ago. County Magistrate Cao asked about it today, so I asked someone to take them there quietly. It just so happens that two new arrivals have arrived..." Cui Shuping curled his beard slightly, with a smile on his lips.

Those two new girls were extraordinary. They were the concubines' daughters of a wealthy country gentry family, and they were sisters. They were only 28 years old and were really beautiful and exquisite.

Originally, he wanted to keep it for himself, but Prince An suddenly had an accident, and his Cui family needed to win over more court officials to gain bargaining chips for themselves.

What's more, it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the little ghosts.

Therefore, when County Lieutenant Cao asked him about it, he could only appease the man first and make plans after the incident of Prince An was over.

"This matter is not a big deal, it's just that we will earn less money, but she shouldn't have set her sights on our land..." Cui Shuping thought of the secret letter from the palace he received the day before, and his face turned ashen with anger.

Old Master Cui looked at his son's behavior and took a sip of tea. He couldn't help but frown and said, "You are the head of the family after all. Why are you still so impatient when encountering things?"

"Father, I'm so angry..." Cui Shuping said angrily, "Everyone knows that 60% of the three counties and four mountains surrounding Qinghe County are our Qinghe Cui family's territory. But if the emperor really listened to what that little girl said, measured the land, and then implemented the land tax system..."

"Let's not even talk about the fact that the land and tenant numbers we concealed in our reports will be investigated. The huge taxes we have to pay every year for the land alone are a huge sum of money..."

"We have this money for so many things, but we have to use it to benefit the national treasury... This is really frustrating..."

Cui Shuping grew increasingly angry as he spoke, but Old Master Cui said calmly, "Don't be angry. Even if she wants to implement reforms, it won't be easy. If she harms the interests of the gentry, she won't end up well."

"Father is right. We just took action early. Besides, it's not just our family. The other seven families also agreed..."

"As long as we get rid of this trouble, we will still be the leading family in Dayong..."

"Let's not talk about her..." Old Master Cui interrupted, "I heard that the tenants on the farm are causing trouble again recently?"

Cui Shuping's face froze, and he mumbled, "Father, calm down. Those low-class people keep saying the rent is too high and that the harvest this year is bad. They want us to pay less rent, and they also say that our family can't afford to eat..."

"They don't even realize what they are. Giving them food is already a favor to our Cui family, yet they still dare to ask for a rent reduction..."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Cui smiled slightly.

He had experienced this kind of thing in his early years. The best way to deal with this kind of situation is, of course, to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
