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

The reason is simple: now only Zhong Ning can protect him.

Why did he say that? Mainly because the last time he was kidnapped, he had witnessed Zhong Ning single-handedly defeat hundreds of robbers.

It can be seen that Zhong Ning's martial arts skills are definitely above the two of them.

In addition, the princess's mansion has imperial guards and secret guards, so they don't have the courage to rush into the princess's mansion and kill him.

"Open the door! Open the door!" Fang Ping avoided the patrol camp all the way and ran for half an hour before arriving at the gate of the princess's mansion.

The servant guarding the gate was awakened from his sleep and opened the door, cursing. Just as he was about to start cursing, he saw that it was Fang Ping and immediately put on a smile. "Master Fang, why are you here so late?"

"I have an urgent matter, I need to find His Highness..." Fang Lai panted, said these few words intermittently, and rushed directly into the mansion.

Halfway through the rush, he was pinned to the ground by the imperial guards who were taking turns guarding him.

"Master Fang..." The imperial guard had also seen Fang Ping before, so when he saw that it was Fang Ping, he immediately ordered his men to release him. Then he said, "It's getting late, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has gone to bed. If Master Fang needs anything, why not come back tomorrow?"

"No, no, I really have something urgent to do. There is an assassin in my house. I can't go back now... I need to find His Highness..."

"Where is the assassin?" the imperial guard continued, "If Master Xiaofang is truly afraid, I am willing to accompany Master Xiaofang..."

Fang Ping was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead...

Just as he was about to tell the Imperial Guards that the assassin had left, but he didn't dare go back to the house, he heard a voice suddenly come from the night sky: "Let him in!"

It’s Zhong Ning!

She felt extremely uneasy in her sleep, and after breaking through the ninth level, her internal force perception could reach dozens of meters away.

She already knew it when Fang Ping first broke into the inner palace.

After hearing the princess' order, the imperial guards had no choice but to let Fang Ping in. Fang Ping stumbled into Zhong Ning's yard as if assisted by a god.

It was the height of late spring and the nights were still very cold.

Zhong Ning, wearing a silver-gray rabbit fur cloak, stood at the door, quietly watching Fang Ping running towards him.

Fang Ping was panting, but after seeing Zhong Ning, he felt relieved. His eyes turned slightly red, his nose felt sore, and he rushed over and hugged the person tightly.

"Wuwu... Aning, someone wants to kill me..."

Zhong Ning, who was about to push the person away, paused silently, then said in a voice as cold as iron: "Who is it? Did you see his face clearly?"

Fang Ping hugged Zhong Ning tightly, shook his head unconsciously, sniffed and whimpered, "No, they were wearing night clothes..."

"They?" Zhong Ning frowned slightly, "Aren't they alone?"

"No, at least two people, and it's very likely that these two people don't know each other..." Fang Ping let go of Zhong Ning and recalled carefully:

"One of the men in black is very likely to know me, because he blocked the sword when the other man in black attacked... But... he came here at night, so he must have bad intentions..."

"Where are the assassins I sent to you?" Zhong Ning asked.

Fang Ping showed a strange look and said immediately: "The strangest thing is this. I have dozens of guards in the mansion, but tonight, it seems that they have all been put to sleep. With such loud sounds of assassination, no one woke up..."

"Even those two assassins fell asleep for unknown reasons..."

Zhong Ning frowned slightly, then realized that something was wrong.

There was such a loud noise, and the incident happened in the master's yard, but no one in the mansion responded.

And there is no way the assassins she sent out would fall asleep at this time.

This move seemed to have set up a sleeping barrier in Fang Mansion.

All people within the coverage area will fall into a coma within this barrier.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning asked again: "Where were you when the man in black came?"

Fang Ping replied, "I'm reading a book in the space..."

"That's it..." Zhong Ning pondered for a moment, then said, "Someone has tampered with your residence, but you are in this space and are not affected by it. As for the second man in black you mentioned."

"Either, they are in the same group, or he came later and was not affected by this..."

"It should be the latter, because when I came out of the space, these two people were fighting each other..." Fang Ping said.

"If that's the case, then it's basically certain that the first man in black is the final golden finger. He has a system in his hands, so he can set up the barrier..."

"As for the second man in black..." Zhong Ning turned to look at Fang Ping and asked, "Have you offended anyone recently?"

Fang Ping quickly shook his head.

How could he offend anyone?

Ever since he was kidnapped last time, he has been at home on sick leave, only occasionally going to the western suburbs to help select manuscripts and handle follow-up matters for the weekly newspaper.

"I can't imagine who I would offend...and..." Fang Ping looked at Zhong Ning hesitantly, wanting to say something. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Zhong Ning understood what he meant.

It seemed that all the suffering he had endured since coming to Beijing was because of Zhong Ning. He was too close to her, and she was the regent of the court, doing many things that offended people.

Some troubles involved him.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, all the hardships he had encountered since he traveled through time were brought about by Zhong Ning.

Zhong Ning also realized this, and looked at Fang Ping with a hint of guilt in his eyes. "I'm sorry, if you're scared, I'll send someone to send you to the imperial farm. Lu Xingzhou is training his troops there, so he can at least protect you!"

Fang Ping shook his head, took Zhong Ning's hand, and looked at him steadily: "No need. Even if I am afraid, I can't just stand by and watch you in the center of the storm and do nothing..."

"But..." Zhong Ning was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid you will get hurt again..."

"............" Fang Ping was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhong Ning and said directly: "You will protect me...right?"

Zhong Ning just looked at him like this, then sighed helplessly:

"I will naturally protect you, but there are times when I cannot take care of you. If you go to the Imperial Manor, those people will not target you even if they hate me."

"No, I won't go. How can I abandon you?" Fang Ping said righteously, as if expressing his determination.

Zhong Ning pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly.

To be honest, if you don't have martial arts skills of at least the seventh level, staying will only hinder you.

But that can't be said.

After all, Fang Ping has his own unique advantages.

He can protect himself and also give the enemy a devastating blow when it's least expected.

Seeing that Zhong Ning's expression had softened somewhat, Fang Ping added another bargaining chip to his own advantage: "I, I can protect myself, and I can also protect you by the way!"

"You?" A smile flashed across Zhong Ning's eyes.

Fang Ping straightened his chest and said confidently, "Yes, it's me!"

"How do you protect?"

"I, I have weapons..."
