After the interstellar female general died in battle, she transmigrated into the body of a dashing p

The others immediately responded.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhian called out softly again, "Danqin!"

Danqin knew the princess was right; this was the only chance now. But she couldn't bring herself to throw her out like this. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and she tightened her grip on the knife. "I'll listen to you."

Zheng Zhian's calm voice rang out.

"one,

two,

three! "

"Shadow One!"

Danqin took a deep breath and stepped onto the shoulder of the burly man in front of her, carrying Zheng Zhian as she stepped over the heads of several people. Seeing someone rushing up from the side, she immediately took off and threw Zheng Zhian into the air towards Yingyi.

He then attempted to dodge the assassin wielding a sharp knife by rolling to the side, but his left arm was still slashed, instantly tearing open the flesh and exposing the bone.

Danqin nearly lost her footing upon landing, and the burly men rushed forward to protect her.

When he heard the princess's shout, Yingyi had been watching them closely. When he saw her being thrown at him, Yingyi was the kind of person who wouldn't even blink when a knife was held to his neck. That scene almost scared the old heart out of his chest!

The man in black who had just made his move stared at Danqin with a sinister look in his eyes. He was clearly furious that he had missed such a good opportunity.

Seeing that he was still planning to target Danqin, Zheng Zhian provocatively shouted, "Hey, why do you want to kill me?"

The man looked at her, his resentment undisguised, and fiercely led his men to charge at Yingyi again, shouting, "Don't you deserve to die?"

Yingyi kicked away his attack, dodged the others, and took a few steps back.

While these people weren't top-tier experts, they were still quite skilled, and their moves were ruthless and vicious. He sensed that these assassins didn't belong to any particular faction.

"Did I kill your whole family? Why should you die?" Zheng Zhian hugged Yingyi's neck tightly and asked him with a relaxed smile.

To the man in black, that look was a provocation. He refused to believe that so many people couldn't kill her today, and gritted his teeth, shouting, "All of you, get her!"

All the men in black gathered around Yingyi and pounced on them like hungry wolves hunting their prey. After Danqin left, the burly men rushed forward recklessly. Some of the men in black slowly moved aside, letting them into the circle.

Seeing that the men were covered in blood, yet still fiercely protecting Yingyi behind him, showing no sign of retreat.

They fell one by one before Zheng Zhi'an's eyes. A cold, razor-sharp glint flashed in her clear eyes. These people had better kill her today, otherwise...

"Shadow One, don't worry about me, charge out." Zheng Zhian looked at the rooftop and the circle of men in black on the ground, and gave the order in a deep voice.

She could clearly sense that Yingyi was afraid of hurting her and dared not charge forward. If this dragged on, he would run out of internal energy and not survive either. Since that was the case, she might as well take a gamble.

Hearing her words, Yingyi also thought of the current situation. He gripped the knife in his hand, rushed straight towards the person in front of him, cut open and tore off his clothes, and tied Zheng Zhian to his back.

All of this was accomplished in an instant. With the change of position, Zheng Zhian felt dizzy and disoriented. Several times, the black-clad man's knife was aimed directly at her, but Yingyi seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, blocking the incoming attacks in time.

Just then, the leader of the men in black pulled out a crossbow from somewhere, and with a 'whoosh,' the crossbow bolt shot straight at Zheng Zhian.

"Traitor, how dare you!" Feng Mukong was still some distance away when he saw such a dangerous scene. He had to use all his strength to block the crossbow bolt.

He flicked the crossbow bolt back at the man.

His arrival made Zheng Zhian realize that he had won this round, and not just the assassination attempt.

She concealed the coldness in her eyes, her once clear eyes instantly turning red, tears welling up. Biting her lower lip, she forced a brave expression and said, "Grandpa Feng, it was he who brought them..."

A clear look of panic flashed in the man's eyes. His eyes darted around, and he tried to back away, but Kong Mufeng wouldn't give him a chance to escape. He flashed forward and kicked the man to the ground.

Danqin and the others arrived as well. Blood was still trickling from the wound on her left arm. Her eyes darted quickly through the chaotic crowd, searching for Yingyi. She prayed incessantly, "Princess, please be alright!"

The situation, where the enemy outnumbered us, was instantly reversed by the arrival of those behind us, and the men in black reacted quickly, scattering in all directions.

Little did they know that they were now surrounded!

Zheng Zhian was lifted off Yingyi's back by Feng Mukong. He raised his hand to cover the little one's eyes, but she raised her hand to pry them open, and choked out, "Grandpa Feng, put me down."

If someone were to pass by, they would find that the alleyway was filled with corpses. The blazing sun made the crimson blood on the ground dazzling. The blood had seeped into the soil, making it sticky and creepy to walk on. You had to shuffle around to find a place to put your feet.

Kong Mufeng looked at the little girl, who was clearly scared and aggrieved, yet still trying to appear calm. He couldn't bear to let her face such a brutal scene at such a young age.

He then covered her eyes with his palm and whispered, "Let's go back. Someone will handle things here."

Zheng Zhian raised her hands and forcefully pried his hands apart. She pursed her lips tightly, stubbornly turned to the side, and pointed at the few people who died protecting her. "I want to... go see them."

After Danqin had the leader of the group subdued, she came over and overheard her words. Her face pale, she coaxed softly, "Princess, why don't you go back first? I'll personally take care of things for them later, okay?"

Zheng Zhi'an wanted to see what these people who had risked their lives to protect her looked like. She looked at them with unwavering determination and stubbornness. "I just want to see them once."

They all knew her well; despite her young age, she was very opinionated. Kong Mufeng looked at her for a while, then sighed in resignation and picked her up.

Those men were all stabbed multiple times. Kong Mufeng closed their eyes, and Danqin ordered that the corpses be taken back for a proper burial.

These men were all secret guards of the Duke's mansion. They were orphans from a young age, and dying for their masters could be considered a worthy death...

Just as Kong Mufeng was about to lead her away, Zheng Zhian pointed to the door frame, which had been almost completely destroyed in the fight, and said, "Grandpa Feng, let's go inside and find someone."

She hadn't figured out why she came here, and she wouldn't give up until she went inside and took a look.

Looking at the courtyard she pointed to, it was completely different from the outside.

With all that fighting outside, are you sure there's someone inside? Kong Mufeng carried her into the house, looked around, but didn't see anyone.

Zheng Zhian's eyes showed obvious disappointment, when a voice sounded from above him, "Little guy, is the person you're looking for really that important?"

"We left the palace today to find someone." Now that this matter is over, it's impossible to hide it from her grandfather, and she doesn't intend to hide it from him anymore.

As soon as she finished speaking, the only bed in the room suddenly shattered into pieces, and a woman's trembling body appeared. She slowly turned her head to look at the two people at the door, and then, as if frightened, she covered her head with her hands and buried her face in the ground.

Upon hearing the commotion, Ying outside instantly slipped inside and, seeing the scene, looked at Kong Mufeng.

"I don't know." Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Kong Mufeng immediately denied it.

Seeing the woman still trembling and prostrate there, Zheng Zhian slowly asked, "Are you Cai Die?"

Seeing that she was about to deny it, Zheng Zhian's expression remained unchanged, but his voice became much colder: "Think carefully before you answer."
