Xiaofu Ji blocked his body with his right hand. In a critical moment, a masked girl in white appeared in front of them, only to hear a "clang clang" sound, and the bandit's knife had already been severed.
“Where is the witless young girl from? Dare to block my way? Brothers, go!”The bandit leader ordered, and everyone raised their swords and chopped at the girl in white.
There were at least twenty robbers, and this group of fierce bandits rushed towards a young girl. Ji was trembling with fear.
He had already forgotten that his right hand had been scratched, with blood streaming down his throat, and his heart was only on the woman.
A few minutes later, the bandits all fell down.
Ji never expected that she would possess exceptional skills, and her martial arts skills were simply superb.
“Spare my life, Nvxia! Spare my life, Nvxia!”The bandits knelt down and begged for mercy.
“I will let you go this time. If you guys come out again to cause trouble, I will definitely kill all of you bastards.”
“Get out of here now!”
The woman in white shouted angrily.
The bandits fled one after another, and some of them were torn in their pants by the woman in white, carrying them while limping along. The scene was very funny.
After the bandits left, Ji quickly stepped forward and said, "I'm Xiaofu Ji. Thank you for saving my life, Nvxia! I don't know you…”
Ji thanked the woman, but before he could finish speaking, she tore off a piece of white gauze and flew over to him, dressing his wound.
Ji looked up and saw her face covered in a veil,snow-white face and slightly red mouth faintly visible.
She skillfully bandaged Ji's wound, her eyes were clear and moving, like stars in the dark.
“My lord, you are hurt.”
The woman whispered softly, her voice was extremely sweet and gentle, completely different from the temperament when she roared at the bandits just now.
Ji had been stealing glances at her, but didn't react for a moment.
After coming for several seconds, Ji asked, "May I know your name,my lady?”
“Ningshuang,”the woman replied in a warm voice.
“What a beautiful name!”Ji secretly sighed!
Her name was as beautiful as she!
Although she was covered in a veil, Ji could learn from her looming veil that she was an extremely beautiful girl.
Ji was eloquent,scientillating in daily and he didn't know what to say right now.
Two of them stared at each other for a few seconds.
“How do you know I'm an official?”Ji asked softly.
“I heard it when the bandit asked you just now.”
“I have heard a lot about your deeds in Qi County and know that you are a good official.”the woman replied.
“What have you heard about?”
“They say you are talented and want to make decisions for the people.”
“Is that all?”
“Do you think I am a good official just because of these? "Ji pursued.
“Hmm.”Ningshuang nodded forcefully.
If the words were spoken from someone else, Ji might still had some doubts, but when spoken from her, Ji believed it.
Because what she said was so sincere, it made people feel like it was from the bottom of their hearts.
Ji had been in business for many years and knew the way of the world.
A new broom sweeps clean. Each new official would create a good reputation for themselves. Many people said ont thing and did another,they only scratched the surface.
Ningshuang was a simple girl with a much simpler mind than Ji.
Ji secretly glanced at NingShuang again and asked in a low voice, "I... I... have an persumptuous request?”
“What kind of that?”Ningshuang asked.
“May I see your face?”Ji whispered.
Ji blushed a little when he said this.
He quietly turned around and quickly concealed his embarrassment.
Ningshuang hesitated a bit, but just as Ji was about to say something, she slowly took off her veil.
“Clear water produces lotus flowers,naturally removing carvings and decorations.”(A poem of Chinese)
Ji couldn't help but come up with this poem in his mind.
Previously, when Ji read this poem by Tai Bai, he couldn't feel such a shock, but at this time, Ji finally understood.
Coagulation frost had a plain face facing the sky, without any decoration, but it also had a beauty that shockd the soul.
She had a pure aura that could purify any restlessness and noise in the world.
Xiaofu Ji had traveled many places and met many stunning women
However, it was the first time that such a secluded and worldly girl he had met.
Ji looked at her in a daze.
Ningshuang blushed and turned her head shyly when she saw him like this.
Until now, Ji realized his impoliteness.
“Sorry, I... I...”
Ji was momentarily speechless.
Lord Ji, who had the gift od grab, choked today. Ji felt embarrassed by today's series of gaffes.
Ji was young and talented, and had always had a good relationship with women. There were many girls who liked him!
There were kind of gentle and thoughtful, talented, clever and witty, and beautiful, but none of them could enter his heart.
Over the years, he had focused his mind on reading and doing business, never thinking about his children's personal affairs.
Ji looked at Ningshuang again, she was very beautiful, but there were still beautiful girls like her in the world.
However, her immaculate, cold and serene breath was unique.
She was like an elf put into the mortal world by heaven, unable to be tolerated any stain.
After awkwardly turning their backs for a few minutes, Ji took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
“Where are you going,lady? "Ji asked.
“Go to the county government and kill Liu. "replied Ning Shuang.
Ji didn't expect her to answer so bluntly, without any hesitation about her identity.
What if Ji is with Liu’s party?
You know, telling a county magistrate directly that she wanted to kill his county deputy magistrate was such a dangerous thing!
Besides, as a common person, she told the officials directly that she wanted to assassinate the county deputy magistrate before starting the assassination.Wan’t she afraid of being arrested before starting?
Generally speaking, there were only two reasons for daring to do so:
First,she was extremely familiar with the internal struggles of the county government, knowing that the people around her were aligned with her own goals, and openly informing each other to facilitate alliances.
Ji's thoughts had been pondered by Liu for a long time but could not be seen through. Had she already seen through them?
Could she be so certain that Ji would definitely stand in her shoes?
Ji thought for a moment and thought it was unlikely.
Second,she was an undercover agent sent by Liu, aiming to test Ji's true purpose.
Ji looked at her and didn't look like that she was such a scheming person at all.
But considering that he was also saved by her just now, was this a coincidence or…
Ji then hid his thoughts and chatted with her quietly on the surface, inquiring about the relationship between her and Liu.
Ningshuang then told Ji Xiaofu about her background.
Speaking of it, the background of her was quite impressive!
Her father was a paladin in an circle of outlaws, and her mother was a lady from a wealthy family.
Ningshuang's father was tall and handsome, with excellent martial arts skills. He had always been a chivalrous and righteous person, and when facing injustice on the road, he helped with his sword.
Ningshuang's mother was the daughter of a wealthy family in Qi County. She was dignified and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and very talented. She was a famous lady in the local area.
One year, the grandfather of Ningshuang became seriously ill and could not be cured by seeking medical treatment everywhere, mainly due to the lack of an important medicinal herb.
This medicine grew on wild mountains and ridges,was rarely seen on weekdays.
Ningshuang's mother was kind and filial, but her father's condition did not improve before her. She was very worried in her heart, so she went to collect medicine without telling her family.
During the process of picking herbs, a venomous snake suddenly jumped out and bit her.
Just as she was about to die from her poisonous hair, a young man with excellent martial arts skills happened to pass by and save her. He was the father of Ningshuang.
Ningshuang's father detoxified her, helped her collect the necessary herbs, and sent her home.
They got to know each other like this.
Later, the two of them developed a relationship and often went on secret dates.
This matter was discovered by Ningshuang's grandfather, who did not agree to marry his daughter to such a paladin.
However, at that time, Ningshuang's parents had already fallen in love with each other,they loved each deeply and firmly wanted to be together.
After many difficulties, Ningshuang's father finally moved her grandfather and he agreed to marry his daughter,Ningshuang's mother to himm.
It's really a beautiful thing that the parents of Ningshuang could finally be together!
Who knew, at this time,Ming Liu, the county deputy magistrate of Qi County, found them.
Originally,Liu had heard of Ningshuang's mother and wanted to marry her.
At that time, he already had two wives, and Ningshuang's grandfather naturally disagreed.
Liu once promised Ningshuang's grandfather to find an excuse to discard his wife,and later proposed marriage.
At this moment, hearing that Ningshuang's mother was about to marry someone else,he became extremely angry and threatened them to separate, otherwise he would retaliate against them.
Ningshuang's grandfather had no choice but to let her father take her mother away.
He thought Liu couldn't find Ningshuang's mother, so he scolded them and after a while, he would forget.
He was a playman,when he met other women,he would be moved to another relationship.
Who knew,Liu was a person with a strong hatred for others. Although he might not be considered a mother who liked frost,Ningshuang’s mother refused to marry someone else, which was an insult to Liu. He did not allow anyone to oppose him.
Liu couldn't find Ningshuang's mother, so he vented his anger on Ningshuang's grandfather.
He found someone to falsely accuse Ningshuang's grandfather, imprisoned him, and then sent him to the border.
Ningshuang's father learned about this and found his grandfather.
Seeing his father-in-law suffering so much, Ningshuang's father was heartbroken and swore to kill Liu Ming.
However, Ningshuang's grandfather stopped him.
If Ningshuang's father failed to assassinate him, he would harm himself. Even if he succeeded in killing Liu,he would still be a court criminal and would be on the run for the rest of his life.
Meanwhile, Liu's people were all in the county government, and the family of grandpa Ningshuang would inevitably face retaliation. Grandpa Ningshuang did not want his relatives to be harmed.
Moreover, at this moment, his greatest concern as the happiness of his beloved daughter.
At this point, Ningshuang's mother was already five months pregnant. If there were any issues with Ning Shuang's father, what should her mother do?
“Kneel down, swear to me?!”Ningshuang's grandfather ordered.
“You hurry up and leave with Yingying, find a quiet place to stay,protect her all your life, never mention revenge. If you dare to break my oath and disappoint to Yingying, I will not let you go even if I turn into a demon.”
Grandpa Ningshuang left his last words.
Ningshuang's father made a poisonous oath with tears in his eyes.
Shortly after, Ningshuang's grandfather passed away.
Ningshuang's father did not forget his oath, and he left this sad place with Ningshuang's mother.
They found a paradise and settled down with their family.
Ningshuang's father went out hunting, farming, and earning money to support the family, while Ningshuang's mother cooked and woven at home, living a self-sufficient life.
Ningshuang's father taught her martial arts, while her mother taught her reading and literacy.
In that beautiful village, their family enjoyed themselves in harmony.
However, Ningshuang's mother always felt a bit sad, and the little Ningshuang didn't understand why her mother often cried alone.
At Ningshuang’s age of ten, her mother passed away.
After the death of Ningshuang's mother, his father was extremely sad.
He was always alone, silently shedding tears at the grave of Ningshuang's mother.
Not long ago, he also passed away.
Before leaving, Ningshuang's father told her all about it.
He saw his daughter so innocent and worried that she would be bullied, so he passed on all his life's martial arts skills to her, as well as two martial arts secret books he had hidden for many years.
Xiaofu Ji was moved by this poignant love story and felt even more that she was the embodiment of love and beauty.
He looked up at her face, and a cool tear fell right between her eyes.
Seeing her tears, Ji felt a heart wrenching pain.
He didn't want to make her sad, her tears stabbed him.
Don't worry, I will definitely avenge for you! "Ji held Ningshuang’s hand and solemnly said.
