Xining walked over with a knife and looked around. Everything was ready. Fujiwara Michio was also waiting with a rolled cotton towel in his mouth, held down by his four brothers.
She knelt down and looked at her powerful father calmly: "Be patient, I'll try my best to move as fast as possible."
"Protect Miss Zunzi~" people outside shouted and ran over.
There were a lot of people huffing and puffing, all of them were the maids and slaves of the village, and they were holding various things that could be used as weapons. The people in the kitchen were holding kitchen knives and pots and lids; while Aoi and the others, who were taking the lead, were holding clothes-making scissors.
One by one, they ran to the door, gasping for air, ready to be loyal to the Fujiwara family.
Xining rolled his eyes, but it would be better to have more people there, at least to resist when the enemy rushes in.
She took a knife and started to cut out the flesh from the wound... which scared many people and immediately turned their heads, not daring to look...
Nozomi Fujiwara fainted from the pain, and Xining was holding a needle to help him sew the wound.
The people nearby were horrified and put the dug-out arrows aside. Although the bloody arrow is small, it has a barb. If you are not careful, you will break your heart and bleed to death.
After sewing, Xining picked up the cotton towel and wiped his hands: "Okay, luckily the arrow is not poisonous."
She stood up, already covered in sweat.
His movements were skillful and fast, probably none of the guards around him were that good. Even if he could do it, given Mr. Fujiwara's status, he would have some scruples. Once you have scruples, you will be restrained.
The eldest brother Yoriichi couldn't help but asked: "Where did you learn this from?"
The corners of Xining's mouth curled up, as if he was speaking bluntly: "In the book."
Someone ran over to the door to interpret, saying that it was Prince Dunkang at the door shouting to open the door.
The other injured people could not be taken care of now. After Xining asked everyone to pay close attention to the situation and protect Michio Fujiwara, he walked out.
The second brother and the fourth brother, who were from the same mother, followed. The second brother asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"
"Of course, go to the door and respond to Prince Dunkang." Xining did not stop: "You two go back to accompany your father. Following will prove that you are here. If Prince Dunkang really wants to rush in and kill me, you two will also Can’t stop it.”
The two brothers stopped. Then I heard Fifth Sister's back and voice coming from her: "There are so many things going on in the house, don't worry about me."
No matter how many things happen in the house, there is no danger in the door.
The two looked at each other, and the second brother took a deep breath: "We should listen to the fifth sister, she is the master of this village."
The two of them turned around and ran quickly into the house.
Prince Dunkang was the eldest son of King Ichijo. He was only one year old when the original Queen Dingzi died. Later, Akiko, the eldest daughter of Nozomi Fujiwara, became the Nakamiya. Because my mother's family could not compete with Fujiwara Michinaga, they lost the chance to become the king.
Without a powerful relative, he has no choice but to be a prince, even if he is the eldest son of the King of Heaven.
It seems that he is not as timid as his nephew, Prince Dunming, who has an eye disease and abdicated the throne.
Now that Prince Dunkang is nineteen years old, he should feel that he has full wings and does not want to be aggrieved as a prince. The killers they had been secretly raising for many years were sent out to ambush Fujiwara Michichiro and his sons on their way home from their first court appearance after the Chinese New Year, and kill them all.
When Xining arrived at the door, the door was still calling, shouting that Prince Dunkang was coming and asking the people inside to open the door. The servant guarding the door was so frightened that he collapsed to the side and trembled. It was another one who was brave enough to deal with it.
Zaemon led ten sword-carrying servants, holding swords in their hands, ready to attack.
After standing firm, Aling caught up from behind and handed the stove to her. This is what she gave to Sixth Brother just now. It seems that Sixth Brother saw her leaving and quickly asked A Ling to bring it again to warm her hands. Yes, this sixth brother can still be saved!
Xining held the stove and said in a leisurely voice: "My daughter is Lord Fujiwara's fifth daughter, Takashi Fujiwara. I don't know what the purpose of Prince Atsuyasu's late-night visit is."
After a moment of silence outside, a young man's voice came: "I went out to play and forgot the time. I would like to stay overnight. Please take care of me, Miss Zunzi."
Xining laughed suddenly, it seemed that Dunkang was not that courageous.
He was not sure whether Michio Fujiwara was here. If he was not here, Michio Fujiwara had run away. As long as his family is not touched and no casualties are caused, he can save his life. After all, he is the eldest son of the former King of Heaven. If he is clean by then, Nozomi Fujiwara will not be able to convict him. As the eldest daughter of the Taoist Priest and the adopted son of the Empress Dowager, she could not kill him.
Knowing this, Xi Ning had the conditions to refuse. She said loudly: "Originally, when His Royal Highness the Prince arrives, my daughter should go out to greet him. But it is already midnight now, and by rights, my daughter cannot meet the foreigner privately. If you can't rush on a snowy night, please go to the village next to your daughter and suffer for the night. The next morning, , my little girl will open the door and kowtow to welcome you."
At dawn the next day, the Fujiwara Mansion and the palace were all informed of the news, and the city guards were dispatched. What happened to Prince Atsushi?
After another moment of silence, Dunkang's voice sounded like he was embarrassed: "You want me to stay in the farmyard for one night, smelling the stench of livestock?"
Xining seemed helpless and said: "Your Highness has to endure hardships for the sake of my daughter's reputation. This will definitely become a good story."
For the sake of her reputation...someone couldn't help but burst into laughter, but Zaemon stared back.
Xining added: "There is a temple two miles away from here. It is said that making a wish is the most effective. Your Highness went to stay overnight and it was just in time to make a wish. If you worship Buddha in the middle of the night, your wishes will definitely come true."
The voice of Prince Dunkang came, in a long voice, with a hint of arrogant official tone: "I heard that the fifth lady of the Taoist family has just met people, but she doesn't like to dress up. Since she is here, please open the door and let me see you." .After taking one look, I left. There are so many people here and I am standing outside the door. Isn’t this considered a private meeting with a foreigner?"
She just changed her approach to get her to open the door, and then barged in. After all, she opened the door to welcome the guests herself.
Is she really a ten-year-old girl, so easy to coax?
In fact, those who have the courage can rush in. Even if Fujiwara Michizhang is really not here, only the fifth lady will be left alone, and then kill everyone inside. Speaking of which, I was passing by here and found that there were bandits committing murder in the village, so I entered the village to kill the bandits.
As for Miss Fifth, a child who was only ten years old, no matter what she said, she was frightened and talked nonsense.
Could it be that Miao Zhenggenhong, the legitimate son of the former king, could still lie?
Xining refused without even thinking about it: "Your Highness, please forgive me for not opening the door. My daughter has just been woken up and has not yet dressed up. It is rude to meet Your Highness like this. I heard that tomorrow is a good day with the sun shining brightly. Wait for tomorrow The little girl is dressed up. Open the door and kneel down to welcome her, so that your highness can see clearly. Please forgive me, please come again another day, and don't let the little girl lose her etiquette. If my father, the Taoist Master, finds out, he will scold the little girl."
It was quiet again outside the door. You should know that the door will definitely not be opened.
Xijing waited quietly to see if Prince Dunkang had the courage to break in.
Suddenly several iron hooks were thrown onto the wall next to them, making a crisp sound.
Hook on the wall... Someone is trying to get over the wall!
