Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

On the carriage.

Lin Jiangnian opened the curtain and looked outside the carriage.

On the official road not far ahead, five or six black figures appeared at some point. They were dressed in sackcloth and had swords on their waists. They were stopping the carriage of the eldest princess and her entourage in front of them.

Lin Jiangnian's eyes swept over these figures and frowned slightly: "What's the origin?"

"Not sure."

Lin Qingqing looked slightly solemn, shook her head slightly, stared at the figures in front of her, and slowly pressed her right hand on the hilt of the sword beside her.

Trouble comes earlier than expected!

After changing from the trail to the official road, I had already expected to encounter some unknown troubles and dangers. I just didn't expect that just how long had it passed before someone was already targeting me? !

"I'm going to handle it."

Lin Qingqing was about to get up when she was stopped by Lin Jiangnian again.

"These people are not weak in martial arts. You may not be an opponent on your own."

Young Lin Jiang shook his head. He could vaguely see some clues from the black figures in front of him.

Judging from the aura of these people, they should not be powerful masters, but they are not weak either. It is not easy for Lin Qingqing to deal with them alone.

"My subordinates can handle it."

Lin Qingqing's tone was slightly condensed, and her expression was slightly worried. This time when going south. She was the only bodyguard beside His Highness.

His Highness stopped her, was he planning to take action himself?

As His Highness's bodyguard, how could she allow His Highness to take risks?

"Not urgent."

Lin Jiang young laughed and looked at the carriage in front, "It's not like we don't have experts here...it's useless if you don't use them."

Lin Qingqing was startled, and then she realized what... Has His Highness set his sights on the eldest princess?

That's right, with the eldest princess here, these people in front of them naturally have nothing to fear.

But, will the eldest princess be willing to take action?

Lin Qingqing looked confused.

…

At the same time, above the official line.

The carriage ahead slowly stopped. An Ning, who was outside the carriage, raised his eyes and looked at the six unkind black shadows appearing around him with an expressionless face.

These black shadows were approaching step by step, staring eagerly.

The leader was a man about thirty years old, with a vicissitudes of face and sharp eyes.

"What's wrong?"

At the same time, behind An Ning, the car curtain was opened, Jinxiu poked her head out, and saw the scene in front of her.

I understood something immediately.

"dangerous?!"

Jinxiu blinked, there was no unexpected worry on her face, and she was even vaguely excited. It seems that in this boring journey, it is rare to encounter some interesting things.

"It seems pretty powerful?"

Jinxiu took a few glances and saw that these people were not weak in martial arts. They seemed to be talking to themselves or reporting to the princess in the carriage.

An Ning on the side said nothing and grabbed the sword beside him.

"Can you handle it?"

Jinxiu had doubts about her.

An Ning ignored her and slowly stood up from the carriage.

On the official road.

The leading man raised his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It seems that he didn't expect to meet such a stunning woman in such a place.

They are actually a pair of stunning girls? !

The thought came to his mind, and his heart moved slightly.

But then, he felt an inexplicable chill from the girl in light clothes who stood up.

The leading man calmed down and immediately became vigilant.

A person who walks around in the world and makes a living is naturally not someone who can't walk around when he sees a woman. When the leading man realized the danger, he immediately became vigilant.

He pulled out the long knife from his waist, the blade was sharp, and pointed it at the lightly clothed girl on the carriage.

"If you don't want to die, come down here!"

The leading man did not forget his purpose, which was not the pair of characters in front of him, but the person sitting in the carriage.

As soon as he finished speaking, several people around him drew their swords and approached step by step.

An Ning, wearing a light-colored skirt, stood on the carriage. The dress was smart, neat, and elegant.

A face that was always cold and cold stared at the uninvited guests in front of him.

A very beautiful and very cold little girl!

Quite temperamental.

But that beautiful face made her cold aura less intimidating.

Like an introverted girl next door, without any threat.

"Beauty, come down quickly..."

Beside the carriage, a black shadow slowly approached, with a few malicious smiles on his face.

An Ning's eyes moved slightly, lowered, full of coldness, and her right hand slowly rested on the sword that she almost never left her body.

"call out!"

As the sword slowly appeared, a subtle and crisp sword sound suddenly sounded.

Accompanied by a flash of cold light.

"ah!"

Suddenly, a sharp scream suddenly sounded.

Everyone present was almost stunned, not knowing what happened. Then he saw the approaching black figure next to him, with a frightened expression on his face, and he was clutching his neck.

On his neck, blood couldn't stop gushing out from between his palms.

"boom!"

Immediately, the figure fell straight down.

His eyes widened, and he refused to close his eyes.

This scene made everyone else present feel a chill in their hearts.

The leading man was even more afraid of the cold. He realized that the girl in front of him might not be underestimated in strength.

But I didn't expect it... to be so scary?

He didn't even see how the other party acted just now, so he killed one of his men?

What is the origin of this little girl?

so smart? !

A chill instantly spread throughout his body, but now he had no way out.

"Go together!"

"..."

On the carriage behind.

Xu Lan and Xiao Luzheng stuck their heads out curiously and looked forward quietly.

When they saw An Ning kill the black shadow with one sword, the master and servant opened their eyes in shock. Immediately, such a bloody scene scared them so much that they closed their eyes and retreated into the carriage.

"She, she is so powerful?!"

Xu Lan's chest was pounding, her face was slightly pale, and she was a little shocked.

I didn’t expect that that little girl who looked so weak could have such terrifying martial arts skills? !

For a moment, Xu Lan suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, she didn't offend her at the inn before.

otherwise……

Xu Lan shrank her neck subconsciously, feeling a little chilled for no reason.

As expected of the people around the eldest princess, even a maid is so powerful.

Xu Lan couldn't help but feel a little envious and a little disappointed. She couldn't help but look at Xiao Lu next to her.

Xiao Lu next to her seemed to realize what her young lady meant, and she blinked innocently: "Miss, don't look at me like that, I don't know how to do martial arts..."

"..."

And outside the carriage.

"so smart?!"

When Lin Qingqing saw An Ning taking action, her eyes narrowed slightly and she took a deep breath.

Is there such a master hiding beside the eldest princess?

Lin Jiangnian half-squinted his eyes, looked forward, and asked, "What do you think she is capable of?"

He had known for a long time that this little girl named An Ning's martial arts skills should not be underestimated, but since he had never seen her take action, Lin Jiangnian had no idea what level An Ning was at.

After Lin Qingqing stared at it carefully for a while, she thought for a while and said: "At least above the third grade... Maybe I have touched the edge of the second grade, but I am not sure..."

"Above the third level?"

Lin Jiangnian nodded thoughtfully, which was pretty much what he had guessed.

This little An Ning looked silent. Every time he saw Lin Jiangnian, he would cower and be afraid. Last time, he was even scared by Lin Jiangnian and fell into the lake. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a deep-seated person. Lu's little master?

interesting!

Just as Lin Jiangnian was sighing, the fighting on the official road ahead gradually stopped.

It started quickly and ended quickly.

After one of his subordinates was killed, the leading man led the remaining subordinates to quickly launch a siege on An Ning.

But obviously, he still underestimated An Ning's strength.

This little girl who looked soft and frail showed extremely terrifying strength. The cold sword in her hand was sharp and she showed no mercy when it fell.

The sword energy was flowing vertically and horizontally, and the cold light was raging.

With the black shadows attacking from all sides, some people lost their lives in confusion without even being able to see clearly how the girl in light clothes in front of them acted.

The scene is bloody and cruel!

In a moment, there were five more corpses lying in a pool of blood on the official road, dying with their eyes open.

Next to the carriage, a girl in light clothes with a cold temperament and an expressionless face looked indifferently, as if everything just now had nothing to do with her.

It was a beautiful face that was harmless to humans and animals, but it gave people an indescribable chill. She slowly raised her head, holding the sword and staring expressionlessly at the only remaining person in front of her.

At this moment, the leading man was almost frightened, his face was pale, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

He knew that he had hit a brick wall today!

All his men were dead, but he hadn't even been able to see his true master.

It seems like he has provoked some powerful person? !

Thinking about this, he no longer had any thoughts.

"Girl, please forgive me, yes, I have something to say..."

A flattering smile appeared on the leading man's face and he spoke.

However, An Ning just stared at him coldly, raised his sword, and drew it.

An extremely simple action, but the leader's face changed drastically, and he quickly raised his knife to block.

"Ding!"

The sound of swords colliding was heard, followed by a crisp cracking sound. The long sword in the leader's hand suddenly broke. The huge impact shocked him and took a few steps back. His palms were shaken by the shock, and a sharp pain emerged.

Before he could react, An Ning approached again, with the cold sword in his hand pressed against his neck.

Murderous aura struck instantly.

"Girl, spare your life!"

The leading man was completely frightened and looked horrified. He could no longer care about anything else and knelt down with a plop.

"Do not kill me!"

When walking in the world, the most important thing is to be able to bend and stretch. Dignity is worthless compared to life.

An Ning's eyes were still cold, and just when he was about to take the man's life, Lin Jiangnian's voice came from not far behind him.

"Wait, let him live first!"

Hearing this, An Ning moved her hands.

She glanced back and realized that Lin Jiangnian had appeared not far behind her at some unknown time.

An Ning said nothing, watching Lin Jiangnian quietly, thinking for a moment, and then obediently took back the sword.

However, he did not leave.

Lin Jiangnian stepped forward, stood side by side with An Ning, and looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy: "Tell me, what is your name and what is your purpose?"

When the man kneeling on the ground saw Lin Jiangnian, his eyes and pupils shrank slightly, and he said with a frightened expression: "I, my name is Zhou Zhen, I am the third boss of the Zhoukou Gang near here..."

"Zhoukou Gang?"

Lin Jiangnian thought about it, but he didn't have any impression. What's the origin?

He looked back at Lin Qingqing and saw that she was shaking her head slightly, obviously she had never heard of it.

"What did you want to do when you blocked the road today?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

Zhou Zhen looked doubtful and raised his head cautiously to look at Lin Jiangnian, hesitating to speak.

"Hmm?"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you want to live, tell the truth!"

Zhou Zhen trembled with fear when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at An Ning beside Lin Jiangnian.

An Ning, expressionless, had sheathed his sword, and stood beside Lin Jiangnian again with the sword in his arms, staring at him coldly.

It seemed that he could draw his sword again at any time to send him to the west!

Zhou Zhen then spoke honestly: "Yes, someone asked me to come..."

"A few days ago, someone gave me a portrait and a lot of silver, and said, let me bring people to block you along the way..."

"..."

Zhou Zhen seemed to be frightened by An Ning, and honestly told everything.

A few days ago, a mysterious person found him, gave him a sum of silver and a portrait of Lin Jiangnian, and asked him to come to chase Lin Jiangnian's whereabouts.

After Zhou Zhen received the silver, he had been asking for Lin Jiangnian's whereabouts along the official roads and small towns in the past few days. When he learned about Lin Jiangnian's whereabouts from the innkeeper in Qiuye Town, he chased him all the way.

Lin Jiangnian and others were not moving south very fast, so they were soon caught up by them.

Lin Jiangnian stared at him: "Did someone ask you to kill me?"

"No, no..."

Zhou Zhen stuttered.

The mysterious man just asked him to find Lin Jiangnian, but didn't say what he was going to do!

But Zhou Zhen saw that the other party gave such a large sum of silver, thinking that Lin Jiangnian was the other party's enemy, and wanted to stop and capture Lin Jiangnian.

As a result, before he could speak, all his men were killed neatly...

Even Zhou Zhen, who had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, never expected that the little girl in front of him, who looked harmless, would be so cruel...

He was scared out of his wits!

Lin Jiangnian stared at this person, who was pale and didn't look like he was lying.

In this case, this person should be just an insignificant person who was used. Then, what is the purpose of the people behind him doing this?

Lin Jiangnian was thoughtful and vaguely guessed something.

There will always be people who suspect that Lin Jiangnian did not go to Jiangnan, so it is not surprising that they find people along the way to investigate his whereabouts!

As for the whereabouts they investigated...

"It seems that someone is eyeing your highness..."

Lin Qingqing's solemn tone came from the side, and her eyes were grim: "They really want to harm your highness."

Lin Jiangnian was not surprised by this.

"I guessed it a long time ago, let them come."

Lin Jiangnian's tone was relaxed, and he turned his head slightly, and saw An Ning next to him staring at him.

"With An Ning here, there is no need to be afraid."

Lin Jiangnian blinked at An Ning: "Right?"

Hearing this, An Ning's mind was blank in an instant, and his body stiffened in place.

Looking at Lin Jiangnian's smiling eyes, in an instant, it seemed that some emotions spread. Her originally fair and cold face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment.

She turned her head away subconsciously, not daring to look at Lin Jiangnian again.

Her whole body was stiff and tense.

"I..."

An Ning didn't know how to answer. She tried her best to maintain a cold expression, but she didn't dare to look at Lin Jiangnian.

At this moment, a figure suddenly inserted itself and quickly stood between Lin Jiangnian and An Ning.

When Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes, he saw Jinxiu protecting An Ning behind him like a calf.

Then her beautiful eyes were alert, staring at him angrily and resentfully.

"Your Highness, don't bully An Ning!"
