Chapter 354 Daddy Won’t Let You Die!
"Ningning, listen to me." Xie Suzhi hurried to explain.
However, the little guy turned and ran.
"Ningning!" Xie Suzhi chased after him immediately.
The dark guard was faster, and just when he was about to grab Shen Ningning's collar.
A majestic eagle descended from the sky and pecked at the dark guard's head.
Mengyi came to ask for food.
It saw someone chasing Shen Ningning and determined that it was a bad guy.
The dark guard waved his arms to resist, but was entangled.
Xie Suzhi chased out of the Xie Mansion, panting and looking around.
The lights on both sides of the alley outside were bright, but there was no figure of Shen Ningning.
Where did she run to?
Uncle Pang saw that Xie Suzhi looked panicked, and hurried over: "Master, what's wrong?"
"Call a carriage! No, bring me a horse!"
After a while, Uncle Pang led the horse over, and Xie Suzhi grabbed the reins and rode on it.
He went straight to Langshan.
Maybe Shen Ningning ran back home.
The little girl ran as hard as she could while wiping away tears with her little hands.
She just wanted to ask Xie Suzhi directly if what Second Madam Xie said was true.
But she didn't dare, so she stood outside the door and hesitated.
She really wanted to find her parents, but she was also attached to Xie Suzhi's fatherly love.
She was afraid that Second Madam Xie was wrong. If she said it rashly, Xie Suzhi would be displeased.
She didn't dare to compare herself to the real little daughter of the Xie family.
She felt that she was unworthy and was afraid that if she really said it, she would not even be able to be an adopted daughter.
But now, the little girl understood.
It turned out that she was really abandoned.
Even if she was found now, her biological father would not recognize her!
Shen Ningning ran all the way out of the city from a remote alley.
When she passed a group of people wearing bamboo hats, her little feet ran fast and she didn't pay attention to the appearance of this group of people.
But the group of people stopped.
The leading man lifted his hat brim, revealing his left eye with a scar on the handle of a knife.
He took out a portrait from his arms and compared it with Shen Ningning's appearance.
"It's her." The man was sure.
The little girl who just ran over was the one that General Kimura had asked them to assassinate - Princess Funing!
"Chase." The man waved his hand, and the assassin quickly followed Shen Ningning like a ghost.
On the way to the capital, they experienced countless dangers because of the cold disaster.
There were originally more than 30 people, but now there are only 13 people left.
But it doesn't matter, killing a child is enough!
Xie Suzhi rode his horse along the road while looking.
His anxious eyes swept around every place.
The streets were brightly lit and the children were jumping and playing.
But his daughter was not among them.
Xie Suzhi chased all the way out of the city.
The night was dark, and the mountain road without moonlight became increasingly dark away from the lights of the town, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Occasionally, there were scattered lights passing by in the deep mountains.
Just then.
Xie Suzhi heard the cry of an eagle above his head.
He tightened his horse and looked up.
In the gloomy sky, a huge shadow spread its wings and flew quickly in a certain direction.
Xie Suzhi recognized that this was the eagle that had just stopped his secret guards from chasing people in the mansion.
It might be the bird of prey raised by Shen Ningning.
It must be going to find Shen Ningning!
Xie Suzhi immediately turned his horse's head and followed the eagle.
Gradually, he found that this direction was not to Xiangyun Village.
Instead, it crossed two mountains and went up to the back mountain of Xitai Village.
Just after going up the hillside for a while, a faint cry was brought in the howling of the dark cold wind.
Shen Ningning hugged Wu Zuchang's tombstone and cried very sadly.
"Brother Zuchang, it would be great if you were here. You are the only one who likes and loves me without any consideration."
Her tender voice was filled with great sadness.
"Why are you gone? Woo woo..."
"I don't want my family anymore. I only want you as my brother. Please come back."
The little girl climbed up the grave with her hands and feet.
Then, she curled up her little body.
She actually planned to sleep here.
It was as if this was her home.
In her tearful eyes, Shen Ningning saw a figure stumbling towards her.
Could it be Brother Zuchang's spirit?
Shen Ningning sat up and wiped away her tears.
"Ningning!" Xie Suzhi's voice came.
Shen Ningning's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted sharply: "You are not allowed to come over!"
Xie Suzhi hurriedly stopped.
He looked at his daughter's tiny figure, sitting on the grave, and his heart was in pain.
"Ningning, listen to my explanation. Things are more complicated than you think. I don't recognize you because I want to protect you!"
Shen Ningning sobbed, and she looked at Xie Suzhi disappointedly.
"Is it fun, Uncle Xie?"
"What?" Xie Suzhi was stunned.
"You obviously know the truth, and you know that finding my parents is my obsession, but you lied in public and lied to me that my parents are dead, and you didn't even give me a little hope!" She cried and screamed.
In the end, the little guy coughed repeatedly because of anger.
Xie Suzhi was anxious and said hurriedly: "Someone wants to use your identity as a lucky girl to sacrifice to God."
"Everyone knows that on the day you were born, Cangyun Country, which was in a drought, ushered in heavy rain. The national teacher said this was a good omen."
"My child, this is a murderous intention, a trap for you!"
"I tried my best to hide and hide for you, just because I didn't want you to die. Can you understand my painstaking efforts as a father?"
Shen Ningning choked and said, "You can tell me the truth. You have so many opportunities to confess to me, but you didn't."
"You have so many ways to solve it, but you chose the most hurtful one! I don't want to forgive you, I never want to!"
Xie Suzhi was about to speak.
At this moment, he keenly caught the sound of an arrow breaking through the air.
Xie Suzhi's face changed.
He rushed towards Shen Ningning: "Be careful!"
His mind was completely blank. When he didn't guess where the hidden arrow came from, Xie Suzhi's first reaction was to protect Shen Ningning.
Xie Suzhi hugged Shen Ningning.
The father and daughter rolled down from the grave together.
At the same time.
In Zichen Palace, Mo Lingwei was restless.
The eunuch saw his mood and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to listen to some music to relieve your boredom?"
"What are you listening to?" Mo Lingwei said coldly, "I don't know why, but I feel very uneasy."
The eunuch understood and said, "Your Highness, are you thinking about Princess Funing?"
"With your protection, the princess will definitely not be in trouble."
Mo Lingwei stood at the window, looking at the gloomy sky, and his cold eyebrows also sank.
Suddenly, he turned around and said, "Prepare the carriage. I'd better go to Langshan to see her before I can feel at ease."
"Yes." The eunuch withdrew.
The black wind howled.
In the mountains, Xie Suzhi hugged Shen Ningning tightly and ran away quickly in the woods.
Shen Ningning hit her left hand when she fell just now.
Probably sprained it.
Her little face was pale and she kept crying in pain.
Who came to kill her?
For a moment, Shen Ningning thought that it would be better if she died.
If she died, she might be able to see her mother, and her mother would definitely not be like her father and not want her.
Maybe, I can still see Wu Zuchang.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningning stopped crying.
On the contrary, Xie Suzhi was afraid that she would be in great pain, so he comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Ningning."
"Dad will protect you and will not let you die here, no..." He murmured, his footsteps did not stop for a moment.
Shen Ningning's little hand accidentally rested on his shoulder, and suddenly felt a sticky warmth.
She was stunned.
This smell...
is blood.
Zuchang has been dead for so long, Ningning has suffered a great injustice, but she still thinks of him first. Wu Zuchang appeared at the time when Ningning needed relatives the most. Except for being a little silly, he completely satisfied Ningning's fantasy of a brother. Oh no, he is not stupid. A fool would not hold a bowl of food, just because of Ningning's words, standing in the scorching sun from morning to night, he is just a sincere and good brother.
