Chapter 363: Madam, Madam asked us to... kill Princess Zhan
Chu Zixi looked up at the sky. It was almost noon. She smiled and said to the children, "It's getting late now. Go wash up first, and then change into the new clothes I prepared for you. Then we'll go out for lunch together."
Hearing Chu Zixi's words, the children stood up and followed the servants from the villa downstairs.
After a while, the children changed into new clothes and walked out of the room.
They were all full of energy and radiant looks, as if they were reborn.
Their faces were filled with unprecedented joy and happiness, and their eyes were shining brightly.
"Wow, look, this is my new clothes!" a child shouted happily.
"My new clothes are very beautiful too, thank you, sister!" another child said with a smile.
The children showed their new clothes to each other, and their laughter echoed throughout the courtyard.
Chu Zixi looked at the happy children, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a gratified smile.
At this moment, the servants of the villa began to bring delicious dishes to the table.
Yuda also placed the roast duck snacks he bought on the table. When the children saw these sumptuous foods, they immediately became more excited.
They couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and began to eat voraciously, as if they wanted to swallow all the delicious food into their stomachs.
Chu Zixi looked at the way the children ate and couldn't help but feel both amused and distressed.
At this moment, Little Wolf suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Chu Zixi affectionately: "Sister, thank you. We have never eaten as well and full as we did today. In the future, we will obey your orders and do whatever you ask us to do."
Chu Zixi heard this, she helped the little wolf up, smiled gently and said: "Get up, this will be your home from now on, you should learn to read and practice martial arts here, and I will come to teach you medicine when I have time. Remember, only knowledge can change your destiny, and only hard work can create your future."
"Okay!" the children answered in unison.
After lunch, Chu Zixi planned to go back. The children surrounded her, each with reluctance in their eyes, and their little hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, as if this could keep her for a moment longer.
Little Wolf looked up at Chu Zixi, his eyes flashing with anticipation and reluctance: "Sister, when will you come again?"
Chu Zixi gently touched his head and said with a smile: "I will come when I have time. You should learn to read and practice martial arts well, and don't be lazy."
Hearing this, the children nodded vigorously one by one, as if they were using this way to assure Chu Zixi that they would work hard to grow up and live up to her expectations.
Chu Zixi left the villa and got on the carriage. The carriage started slowly, and the sound of the wheels rolling was particularly clear in the quiet afternoon.
The children watched the carriage go away, and only went in and learned to read from the master after it was out of sight.
When the carriage passed through the deep bamboo forest, everything suddenly became extremely quiet, and even the chirping of insects and birds around could not be heard.
Yu Er stopped the carriage instantly.
Her eyes became sharp, as if they could penetrate the mist deep in the bamboo forest.
At the same time, Yuda and Yusan jumped off the carriage without hesitation and looked around vigilantly, their weapons tightly clenched in their hands.
Chu Zixi slowly walked out of the carriage with a teasing smile on her face, "What? You're hiding and don't dare to show up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the depths of the bamboo forest. Then, a group of people in black clothes with stern faces rushed out from all directions and surrounded Chu Zixi and his group.
Their eyes were filled with hostility and the weapons in their hands flashed coldly in the sunlight.
Chu Zixi leaned lazily against the carriage. She glanced at the people around her and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"A quick victory, leaving everyone alive."
After hearing Chu Zixi's words, Yu Da and others immediately took action and started a fierce battle with the people who surrounded them.
They were agile and had sharp sword skills, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by a crisp sound of metallic collision.
In sharp contrast, the group of men in black obviously had low combat power and were completely unable to withstand the attacks of Yu Da and others, and were instantly at a disadvantage.
Chu Zixi stood leisurely aside, with her hands crossed over her chest, watching this one-sided battle with interest.
She couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, with just this little ability, you dare to assassinate this princess? Is the person behind you crazy?"
Soon, all the men in black were knocked to the ground, groaning in pain.
Chu Zixi slowly walked towards one of the men in black, gently lifted his chin with her toes, and asked lazily, "Tell me, who is your master?"
However, a trace of fear flashed across the eyes of the man in black, but he kept his mouth tightly shut and refused to utter a word.
"Did not say?"
The long sword in Yu Da's hand was coldly placed on his neck. The cold sword reflected a hint of cold light, which shone on the face of the man in black, making his face even paler than paper.
Yuda's voice was deep and powerful, as if it came from hell: "If you don't tell me, I'll kill you."
The man in black swallowed, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, his eyes full of fear and anxiety.
He stared at the extremely sharp sword in front of him, fearing that it would cut his throat at the next moment.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and his voice began to tremble as well: "Don't kill me, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Chu Zixi raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
She carefully looked at the frightened man in black in front of her, thinking to herself, this man is so timid and cowardly, he doesn't look like a well-trained killer at all, and his skills are not that good either, it seems that he is just an ordinary guard.
However, she became very interested in the mastermind behind this.
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Chu Zixi's tone was calm as water, but the pressure contained in it could not be ignored.
The man in black replied in a trembling voice: "We are from the Duke of Qi's Mansion. It was the Madam who asked us... to come and kill Princess Zhan." At the end of his words, his voice was already too low to be heard.
Chu Zixi heard this and sneered. As expected, Duke Qi's Mansion! Madam? Humph, she already had some guesses in her mind, but she still ordered calmly: "Take them all away."
Yuda and Yuji acted quickly, found ropes, tied up the men in black one by one, strung them together in a string, and had them run left and right behind the carriage.
After returning to the capital, the group of men in black running around the carriage was particularly eye-catching and a familiar scene, which attracted many glances and discussions from passers-by.
