This knife pierced into the other party’s heart and killed him instantly. Even a general like Wei Ting, who had fought on the battlefield, could not help but sigh. It was really fast, ruthless, and accurate.
Wei Ting pulled out the dagger and took out a handkerchief to wipe it clean. He turned the blade and aimed the tip at himself before handing the handle to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao came out.
She took it and sheathed it.
Wei Ting looked at her deeply. “Your aim is not bad.”
Su Xiaoxiao put away the dagger and clapped her hands. “It takes one to know one.”
Wei Ting had fought in a war and the discomfort of killing for the first time had long pa.s.sed.
The skills and calmness she displayed were not something a village girl could have.
She had too many secrets. Every day Wei Ting spent with her, he would be more curious.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the people on the ground and asked, “Did they come for me?”
Wei Ting said, “It’s hard to say.”
The five of them surrounded Wei Ting, and the sixth person rushed toward Su Xiaoxiao.
It was difficult to determine if they wanted to kill Su Xiaoxiao, so they had to deal with Wei Ting first; or in order to restrain Wei Ting, they had no choice but to injure Su Xiaoxiao as a hostage.
“Or it could be directed at me.”
Wei Ting said.
“Sir! Over there!”
At this moment, the young man from the poetry club led a few officials over.
This was a young man with a sense of justice. When he discovered that someone had attacked with a knife, he immediately reported it to the officials.
There were officials patrolling nearby and they quickly caught up.
“The five of them chased after him with knives…”
The young man was halfway through his sentence when he saw the a.s.sa.s.sin on the ground. He choked.
Wei Ting had been punished by Emperor Jing Xuan to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, so he naturally could not be caught red-handed. A second before the group rushed over, he wrapped his arm around Su Xiaoxiao’s chubby waist and used his qinggong to bring her away.
“Is it these few people?” the leader asked.
The young man said, “Uh… yes, I think so. ”
The young man had only met them once and did not see their appearance clearly. He only remembered their clothes.
The official said again, “You said they were chasing two young men?”
The young man answered honestly, “A man and a girl.”
The official continued to ask, “Did you see what he looked like?”
The young man recalled. “No. Ah, that girl was quite fat.’
After returning to Pear Blossom Lane, Wei Ting asked Yuchi Xiu if there was anyone suspicious.
“No.” Yuchi Xiu shook his head.
He was completely vigilant when he watched the children. No martial arts aura could escape his perception.
Wei Ting’s expression softened. It seemed that Pear Blossom Lane was safe for the time being.
There was a high chance that the a.s.sa.s.sin tonight was coming for him.
Thinking about it, it made sense. She had not formed any grudges with anyone in the capital. If someone disliked her, it would be because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Qin family.
The Wei family was the first to bear the brunt of being the Qin family’s mortal enemy, but if the Wei family attacked, they would not kill Wei Ting.
Second was Qin Jiang, and the possibility of Qin Jiang was not high at the moment.
If Qin Jiang really wanted to play dirty, the first person he should deal with was Su Ergou.
Military power was not obtained on the basis of one’s daughter being elected as the Third Prince’s consort. Conversely, the Third Prince’s consort was appointed based on whose family obtained military power.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Wei Ting frowned.
“Did you enter the palace for the selection today?” he asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Yes.”
A cold glint flashed across Wei Ting’s eyes.
It wasn’t directed at Su Xiaoxiao.
Instead, it was Emperor Jing Xuan, who knew that Su Xiaoxiao had been married in the countryside but still refused to give up on her.
A study companion for the princesses?
Ha.
Su Xiaoxiao opened the first aid kit. “Your hand is injured. I’ll treat your injuries.”
Wei Ting looked at the back of his hand. “No need.”
It was just a scratch.
Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu would not need to be treated if they were injured to this extent.
“No, we have to treat it!” Su Xiaoxiao’s att.i.tude was extremely firm.
Wei Ting looked at the stubborn little girl and then at the almost invisible injury on the back of his hand. A trace of softness flashed across his heart.
Was this girl… so concerned about him?
He stretched out the back of his hand. “Then hurry up.”
If she was a little slower, the wound would heal.
Su Xiaoxiao took out the new ointment from the pharmacy, dipped a cotton swab in it, and applied it evenly on the back of Wei Ting’s hand.
Wei Ting looked at the dark and sticky ball with an indescribable expression.
But thinking of her concern, he resisted the urge to complain.
“How do you feel?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. Wei Ting felt it and said, “It’s a little cold.”
“Then?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“That’s all,” Wei Ting said.
Su Xiaoxiao let the ointment sit for a while before taking out a new cotton swab to wipe it away.
“Eh? It’s not effective?”
It was the same as before the medicine was applied!
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin in thought. “Isn’t it for treating external injuries?”
Wei Ting asked strangely, “Don’t you know what medicine you mixed?”
Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “I’m not sure.”
She wasn’t the one who mixed it. The pharmacy gave it to her.
Wei Ting’s touched blood turned cold.
He looked at a certain someone coldly and gritted his teeth. “So you were just testing the medicine on me?”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and waved at Wei Ting. “Goodbye!”
Wei Ting returned to the Wei family with a dark expression.
When he stepped into the courtyard and saw Matriarch Wei waiting bitterly in the room, his heart skipped a beat!
c.r.a.p.
He had forgotten about the three brats!
The next day, Su Qi and Su Yu came to pick Su Ergou up.
Su Ergou woke up early today to help Su Xiaoxiao. He had just finished boiling the beans when he heard a knock on the door and thought that his father had returned.
He opened the courtyard door and saw Su Qi and Su Yu. He said in surprise, “Eh? So early?”
It was not dawn yet.
Yesterday was much later than today.
Su Ergou had already found out about his background and Su Xiaoxiao had told him that Su MO, Su Qi, and Su Yu were actually his cousins.
Su Ergou sometimes felt that blood relations were very important. For example, he had to be his sister’s brother and his father’s son.
However, sometimes, he felt that blood relations were not important. Take the Chen family as an example. His biological uncle and cousin did not treat their family very well.
Su Ergou’s att.i.tude towards the two of them was as usual.
“Come in.”
He brought the two of them into the central room. “Sit for a while.”
Under Su Xiaoxiao’s guidance, he gradually learned to treat others well. When no one provoked him, he was a polite young man.
Su Qi coughed lightly. “Ahem, is your sister here?”
Su Ergou looked in the direction of the backyard. “She’s making snacks in the kitchen. Are you looking for my sister?”
Su Qi hurriedly said, “Ah no, no, no, no. You’re busy. You guys can keep busy.”
Thinking of something, he asked, “Is there anything we can help with?”
Su Ergou said, “You’re late. We’re done with the snacks.”
Su Qi was embarra.s.sed. “That… is really a pity.”
Su Xiaoxiao packed the freshly baked snacks in a small wooden box.
Su Qi and Su Yu helped carry the box into the carriage.
In the end, Su Xiaoxiao gave Su Ergou a box of his exclusive snacks.
Su Qi asked, ‘What about ours?”
Su Xiaoxiao said in a daze, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want them yesterday?”
