Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

It's night, the moonlight is like water.

Gu Ning raised his head and glanced at the dark night, propped up his chin, and said softly: "It's a dark and windy night, when murders and arson are committed."

Chunyu, who was carefully changing her clothes, shook her hands and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"County Lord, what did you do?"

Gu Ning raised her eyes innocently: "I saved Li Yu and Qin Wan today. Jiang Zhizhou will not let me go in order to save his own life."

"You are..."

"In their eyes, even if she is a grandmother, she will be silenced if she spoils their good deeds and blocks their official career."

Just like the eldest princess and the entire Pei family, they never did anything wrong. They just insisted on the justice in their hearts, but they ended up being executed.

Chunyu heard what she meant, and before she thought about it, she drew out the two daggers at her waist.

She is the best among the secret guards in the Pei Mansion and is very sensitive to the surrounding environment.

"County Lord, be careful!" Chunyu protected Gu Ning and shouted loudly, "There is an assassin!"

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, dozens of cold lights flashed, and the man in black, who almost blended into the dark night, also appeared.

They came fiercely and headed straight for Gu Ning.

The murderous aura was as pervasive as the night, and Chunyu's whole body was tense. She had always looked gentle, but today she stood straight in front of Gu Ning like a sharp sword.

Dozens of assassins were in front of them with murderous intent, but Chunyu was not afraid at all.

"County Lord, you go first!"

"There's no rush." ​​Gu Ning leaned against the window lazily, looking at the sword with a blue light in the assassin's hand with a smile, "I've been prepared for it."

The leader of the assassin was the closest, and when he heard this, he subconsciously took a step back.

After a moment's hesitation, a dense rain of arrows fell from above.

"There's an ambush!"

But after only a short pause, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Quick victory!"

He understood that if the mission failed, even if he returned alive, he would be dead.

Instead of doing this, it's better to give it a try.

The expressions of other people who were thinking of quitting also changed at this moment.

They suddenly became brave, and their arrows were like rain. One wave of assassins fell, and another wave of assassins targeted them.

The leader headed straight for Gu Ning under the cover of his companions.

But there was someone else who was faster than him.

A tall and straight figure descended from the sky, protecting Gu Ning tightly behind him.

He moved very fast, and the sword light in his hand was so fast that afterimages appeared.

No one can take a step closer to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning was very calm and even had time to comment: "It seems that the secret guards under Jiang Zhizhou are not as powerful as our Pei family."

A few drops of blood were slowly sliding down Xie Yan's fair and handsome face.

Seeing Gu Ning's heartless look, there was a hint of gloom in his eyebrows: "If the county master does this, isn't he afraid of triggering a counterattack from other aristocratic families in Jiangning?"

"There are all the witnesses and physical evidence. Jiang Zhizhou's assassination of the county leader must be severely punished." Gu Ning blinked at him, "What's more, by doing this, I am paving the way for you. When the time comes, you will investigate the illegal salt.

Without Jiang Zhizhou as a roadblock, it will be much easier."

Xie Yan heard her chuckle and suddenly said: "The county master is really unfathomable. What will those people in the capital who laugh at you think if they see your appearance now?"

Everyone before, including him, thought that Gu Ning was a useless idiot who was arrogant and domineering based on his family status and had no authority.

However, since she came to Jiangning, everything she did was done with such neatness and sophistication that she seemed like a different person.

"I'm just trying to protect myself." Gu Ning opened his eyes wide and looked at Xie Yan innocently, "Those women are so pitiful, I can't just ignore them. Since I want to save them, I will definitely offend Jiang.

Zhizhou, Jiang Zhizhou’s methods have no bottom line, he will never let me go, what’s wrong with setting a trap in advance?”

"But your arrangement the day before yesterday has already made him suspicious of the Yuan family and the Ling family. You just need to wait for the eldest princess and the general..."

"It will take three days for my grandmother and uncle to arrive in Jiangning. Jiang Zhizhou has very close contacts with the local wealthy families in Jiangning. As long as you get some air time, you will be able to find something wrong. I have only used expedient measures before."

Every word Gu Ning said seemed very reasonable, but Xie Yan didn't believe it at all.

The woman in front of her looked fragile and innocent, but Xie Yan knew that she was by no means as simple as she seemed.

First, he designed to drive a wedge between Jiang Zhizhou and the Yuan and Ling families, and then Li and Yu showed up, taking the initiative to hand over the handle to other aristocratic families, shaking Jiang Zhizhou's authority in Jiangning.

Jiang Zhizhou is not just him, there is also the Jiang family behind him, and the Jiang family and Chu Yunyi are one. Gu Ning keeps saying that he is smoothing the way forward for them, but he feels that Gu Ning's move is for

It's Chu Yunyi.

Thinking of Gu Ning's sudden change of attitude towards Chu Yunyi, Xie Yan's eyes were dark and strange.

Gu Ning met his gaze and felt a chill in her back. Just when she was about to speak, Xie Yan turned away, leaving Gu Ning with an indifferent back.

…

Jiang Mansion.

"Why is there still no movement!" Jiang Zhizhou paced around the courtyard impatiently with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that the sky was faintly white, the people he sent had not returned yet, and even the fire that was supposed to light up the entire state capital never appeared.

"After all, the Lord of Changning County has quite a few imperial troops. I guess our people will have to put in some effort."

Butler Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sounded anxious.

However, I saw a ray of morning light rising from the east, but there was still no movement in the city.

Jiang Zhizhou broke out in cold sweat on his back. He clenched his hands and gritted his teeth and said, "We can't wait any longer! Leave from the secret passage immediately!"

Manager Liu was almost shocked: "Are we leaving Jiangning? Your foundation is all here!"

What's more... what's more, Jiang Zhizhou is still Jiangning's Zhizhou, how can he leave so easily?

However, when he met Jiang Zhizhou's scarlet eyes, Manager Liu swallowed back all the rest of his words and did not dare to say another word.

He smiled coquettishly and said repeatedly: "My subordinates, go get ready now!"

"The people who were sent didn't move. If they had succeeded, they would have started a fire!" Jiang Zhizhou gritted his teeth, "I'm afraid that bitch Gu Ning has been prepared!"

Jiang Zhizhou said bitterly: "If I had known that this day would come, I should have killed all those bitches on that day! To prevent future troubles!"

He has never felt such regret as he does today, regretting that his hastiness caused him to end up in the situation he is in today.

However, it was too late, and he had to flee from here in embarrassment like a bereaved dog.

"Where is Master Zhang?" The moment Jiang Zhizhou stepped into the secret passage, he thought of someone.

Manager Liu shook his head in panic: "My subordinates don't know that Master Zhang has disappeared since yesterday."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhizhou had an ominous premonition in his heart.

At this moment, neat footsteps sounded outside the house.

While the dust was swirling, Jiang Zhizhou saw that figure.

This fair-skinned and handsome young man seems to have been seen somewhere.

"Who are you……"

"Master Jiang, you intend to murder the county lord." Xie Yan's lips curved with a cold arc, "I followed the county lord's order and came to arrest you."

Jiang Zhizhou looked at the Imperial Guards in the courtyard and barely suppressed the panic in his heart: "I am the Zhizhou of a government! Even if I am guilty, I should be the supervisory censor..."

"Master Lu will arrive in three days." Xie Yan said calmly, "The county master sent me here just to prevent Master Jiang from escaping."

"I didn't do anything? Why did I run away?" Jiang Zhizhou sneered and said confidently, "I only left Jiangning this time because of important matters!"

"Yes or no..." Xie Yan glanced at him coldly, "Master Lu can make his own decision, but before that, I still have to ask Master Jiang to stay in the house and not leave Jiang Ning."

"I am a direct descendant of the Jiang family!" Jiang Zhizhou gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the eldest princess is here, she shouldn't treat me like this! Don't forget, the head of Changning County still relies on Prince Duan..."

"Prince Duan?" A brisk voice sounded outside the door.

Then, Gu Ning walked up to Jiang Zhizhou with a sneer.

"Master Jiang." Gu Ning chuckled, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, but I have discovered the secret affair between Prince Duan and my good sister."

"Do you think that with my status, I will still marry him?"

Gu Ning's words made Jiang Zhizhou's expression change drastically.

He stared at Gu Ning, trying to find any trace of reluctance on Gu Ning's face.

However, Gu Ning's face only showed disgust when this matter was mentioned.

At this moment, Jiang Zhizhou completely gave up.

When he mentioned Chu Yunyi today, not only did he not make Gu Ning soften his heart, it actually had the opposite effect!

"Take him down." Gu Ning whispered softly, "Let Li Yu and the others take good care of Master Jiang."

"Li Yu?" Jiang Zhizhou was extremely confused. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere.

But after catching a glimpse of Gu Ning's half-smiling expression, he was shocked and suddenly associated this name with a person.

"You!" Jiang Zhizhou pointed at Gu Ning, panic and hatred mixed in his heart, "You know everything!"

"No!" He gritted his teeth again, "You planned this step by step! They are yours!"

At this moment, he had connected many things together, and the details that he had ignored all appeared before his eyes.

From the beginning, Gu Ning deliberately made things difficult, and the rescue of Li Yu and others... it was all designed by Gu Ning!

"It's the eldest princess!" Jiang Zhizhou stared at Gu Ning, "It's her! She ordered you! The so-called visit to Jiangning is all a cover-up! You are here for me and the Jiang family!"

Gu Ning played with the hair on her temples and said with a smile: "Jiang Zhizhou can be a sensible person before he dies. This life is considered to be in vain."

"After all..." She approached Jiang Zhizhou and whispered, "Those women who were tortured to death by you, those families who were silenced by you, even if they die, they don't know what they did wrong."

"Take him down." Gu Ning frowned in disgust, "Put him in the secret room in the other courtyard where he previously placed those women."

"Yes." Several forbidden soldiers quickly stepped forward and tied Jiang Zhizhou's hands and feet.

He was about to scream, but his mouth was gagged with a rag, and he could only make a weak whimper.
