Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 166
"You are very good at buying people's hearts." An Ning blew on the steaming tea and said slowly, "If you don't have many capable people around you, you may have a hard time in the future."

Indeed, without people around me, it is difficult to do things.

"What Tang Wancheng means is that these two slaves will be handed over to you. Firstly, they are considered members of the Tang family and we are a little closer. If something happens to you, they will have a way to pass on information. Secondly, you really need A person who is loyal to you. And now it seems that you are quite satisfied, why not?" An Ning stroked the teacup as she spoke, her eyes were downcast and I couldn't see her expression clearly.

An Ning is like this, I can't help but feel suspicious, Tang Wancheng's move has indeed solved my urgent need, but it is also equivalent to placing two eyeliners around me. Take precautions before they happen: "An Ning, if they become my people, I will definitely not let them break the ties with the Tang family. One servant cannot serve two masters. You will not understand such a simple truth."

"Lin Xi, you've grown up, you've really grown up!" An Ning clapped her hands and said, "These two are very clean, don't worry, if you have any doubts, Brother Pope will investigate, the The spies are all powerful and can't escape their eyes."

I believe An Ning's words, at least for now.I never thought about having my own staff before. After all, it would be more reassuring for a mere court lady to have Fulin staring at me in everything. But now, with a different identity, everything will be different.

How to tell Fulin, I have to think about it.

It was night, and I was half asleep. Too many things happened today, and my mind was restless, so I couldn't sleep soundly.Vaguely, I heard footsteps faintly, much lighter and slower than normal walking.Half asleep and half awake, I was a little unsure whether I was in a dream or reality, and I woke up completely thinking truthfully.I opened my eyes, slowly drew the dagger from under the pillow and held it in my hand, and listened to the movement outside.

I held my breath and listened for a long time, but there was no movement at all, something was wrong!There are quite a few of An Ning and my bodyguards together. They usually work in shifts, and there must be someone guarding them at night.What about the guard at the door?They are right outside the door, there should be breathing sounds, right?I tightened the dagger in my hand, it seemed that something happened outside, and it was obviously no longer safe inside.

An Ning is in the back room, probably still fast asleep, I am at a loss of ideas, how should I tell An Ning?These people must have come for me. If I lost my life outside the palace, Concubine Chun would no longer exist. An Ning should be safe, right?I was thinking like this in my heart but I was still uneasy, what if, if something happened to An Ning, would I be able to bear it.

The sound of footsteps sounded outside again. Those people hadn't entered the house yet, but the dangerous aura was getting closer and closer, and time was running out.I deliberately turned over hard, kicked one foot on the bed frame, whispered a few words in a dream, and the sound outside stopped abruptly.I took advantage of the opportunity and stomped on the ground lightly. The night was dimly lit, so I could only move forward in darkness. I moved step by step with my heart in mind. Fortunately, the room was very large, and I soon arrived at An Ning's room.The voice in the inner room could not be heard clearly from the outside, and I was a little relieved. I felt a little peaceful when I heard An Ning's steady breathing. I tried to wake An Ning up, while paying attention to the movement outside.

"Hmm!" An Ning looked at me with sleepy eyes and a little panic.

I quickly covered her mouth, "Hush, there are people outside."

Through the dim moonlight outside the window, I saw that An Ning's chaotic expression became clear. I was a half-toned person, and An Ning didn't have much effort, and I didn't know how many people were outside. I felt more and more uneasy.

The outside door had already been opened, An Ning got up and stood in front of the window, she was much calmer than me.

If they find no one in my bed, they will definitely be vigilant, time seems to have stopped, and my confused head became clearer and clearer as it became more and more critical.Tang Wancheng is downstairs, if he yells, he will definitely hear them, but can I stop these people while he is here?Since it was an assassination, these people definitely didn't want to make a big fuss, so maybe they could take advantage of this.

"An Ning, do you believe me?" My voice was extremely calm.

"how do you want to do it?"

"Call for help, wait for Tang Wancheng to come and save us! Before you hide in, you won't be able to stay by my side but will get in the way." After I finished speaking, I picked up two firefoils from the table and put them in my pocket, An Ning Without being wordy, he hid directly in the bed frame and started shouting for help.

I hid in the dark, the moonlight was just facing the entrance, and I could see them as soon as they came in, so I could be considered as the first to seize the opportunity.When the assassins outside heard the movement, they were taken aback for a moment. The room was extremely silent. They obviously hadn't thought about this situation. After a moment of silence, they strode into the inner room with big strides.

As soon as the first person entered the door, I stabbed the knife directly into the neck of that person, hot blood splashed all over my face, and I had no time to kick the table to block the entrance.Picking up the sword that fell on the ground, with the heart of the sword, he also gained some confidence.

I heard the curses of the assassins, the table could only temporarily delay the time, and they jumped up almost instantly, stepped on the table and jumped off.I blew on the torch and lit the bed curtains, and the wind and fire started quickly at night, although it would not cause a fire, the room was brightened instantly.They are used to the darkness, and the sudden light will definitely not open their eyes for a short time.I wrapped the gauze in front of my eyes because I was prepared. Although I couldn't see carefully, I could still identify the approximate positions of several people. There was a bloody smell everywhere.

Several assassins fell in front of them.

The speed at which they adapted to the light exceeded my predictions. The few people on the periphery directly grabbed their wounded comrades as shields, and several people surrounded me. I held up my sword and stepped back step by step. Come here immediately.

There are so many of them, and they have shields to protect them. I can say that I am at a loss. I can clearly feel that death is approaching step by step. In the end, I can almost say that I am dying: "What benefits did your master give you? I pay ten times!"

"Your terms are very attractive, but it's a pity we only want your life!" One of the assassins said and stabbed at me with a sword. The sword stabbed at my chest and I had no way out, and I couldn't resist.

I closed my eyes, waiting for the approach of death, "Lin Xi, live!" I opened my eyes suddenly, and An Ning's dagger was stuck straight into the assassin's body. The sword is only an inch away from me.

I kicked towards the bed frame with my legs, took advantage of the situation and used my sword to block it, and even forced several assassins back a few steps. In times of crisis, the human potential is indeed infinite.

At this time, Tang Wancheng also arrived, raised the knife and dropped it, and the remaining few people were hit by the sword one after another, unable to get up, I was almost limp on the ground, and I didn't have any strength left.

"We can't let them die!" As soon as I finished speaking, I was still panting and wiped my neck directly, leaving no one alive.

"I was careless." Tang Wancheng said while hugging An Ning, looked at me and said, "Going back to the palace overnight, although this matter is dangerous, it's just the right time."
