Chapter 1 The Power of Dedication
"This is the grilled elbow, braised lamb chops, stewed Buddha jumping over the wall, white jade eel silk noodles and matsutake antler stewed white fungus, plus a soft steamed cheese!"
As soon as the time passed, the banquet building was full of friends, and when Ruan Di arrived, there was only a seat left on the first floor, so she took the maid to order a table full of dishes, picked up the chopsticks and feasted on it.
"Miss, I don't think we can do that-"
"Don't worry, didn't you bring money, we can afford this meal!" After speaking, Ruan Di stuffed the cut elbow meat rolled on the lettuce leaf into his mouth, sweet but not greasy, melted in his mouth, and was so delicious that it was about to float.
The maid was about to cry on the side, "Second Miss, I think there is a reason why you fled the house in a hurry, we can't, we can't-"
Ruan Di stretched out his chopsticks to the eel noodles again, and said nonchalantly: "I told you I forgot, you don't know anything, what are you worried about?" β
Some people dream of crossing, some people are dying crossing, Ruan Di never imagined that he would cross because of a dedication.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, she swept a blessing word, and when she opened her eyes, she traveled to ancient times and became the second lady who ran away, followed by a maid.
The little maid said that the second lady was knocked down by a bamboo pole on the way to escape, and she may have died at that time.
Thinking of this, Ruan Di asked her, "I said, you really don't know why we want to escape?" β
The little girl shook her head and quietly stuffed a piece of cheese into her mouth.
Ruan Di sighed, "Forget it, let's eat first." β
Once crossed, he couldn't even figure out his own safety, and if he was someone else, he would definitely be so panicked that he had no master.
But Nguyen Di is different.
Nothing is more important than eating.
"You taste this eel noodles, I've never eaten them-" Ruan Di just lifted the chopsticks, only to hear a rapid sound of breaking wind in his ears, and then his hand hurt, and the whole bowl of eel noodles was buckled upside down on the table!
"Ahh The diners fled in all directions, and the little maid screamed in fright, only to see the cold dart stuck in the center of the table, and a small wooden plaque engraved with peonies on the tassels, which was also stained with Ruan Di's blood.
Ruan Di was so dizzy in pain, and before she could react, she was dragged by the neck by a big man in black for dozens of meters, she struggled desperately, and finally the man in black finally stopped.
"Let her go." A cold male voice came from afar.
Ruan Di looked at the situation, it turned out to be a group of catchers with knives, the leader of the person was wearing a jujube red brocade robe, tall, a pair of cold and arrogant eyes were particularly impressive, Ruan Di didn't have time to see too much, only remembered that this person was very handsome.
"Killing one is killing, and killing two is killing!" The man in black poured out a dart from his sleeve and stuck it on Ruan Di's neck, and there was a red peony on his wrist, which made Ruan Di impressed.
The man in black said angrily: "I'm not afraid of death, and I have to pull a cushion before I die!" β
Ruan Di's eyes widened, and her pupils tightened suddenly, always caring about when the dart would pierce herself, "I said this big brother, we have something to discussββ"
"The Peony Sect is a big trouble for the imperial court, even if you kill her today, you will not escape death!" The handsome guy's quick words made Ruan Di's heart half cold.
The script shouldn't be like this!
She crossed over to be a hostage?
Thinking of this, Ruan Di was furious, and she pushed away the black-clothed man who was holding her away with all her strength, raised her hand and scolded angrily: "Do you still have any humanity!" I'm a hostage, and if I don't save the hostages, I should catch them quickly! β
The man in black was obviously stunned, and at the moment when he hesitated, the handsome guy grabbed the bow and arrow of the person next to him, and suddenly opened the bow and pulled the string to shoot an arrow, which grazed Ruan Di's ear, hit the heart of the man in black, shot the man in black back a few steps, and fell backwards in a swaying manner.
This scene happened too fast, and everyone hadn't reacted yet, only to hear the handsome guy quickly raise his voice: "Take him down!" Only then did someone draw a knife and rush forward.
Ruan Di touched her little beating heart, and turned to look at the man in black in disbelief, but the man in black took out a dart from his sleeve and shot her eyebrows with his last breath!
"it!" Ruan Di closed her eyes in despair, but the expected pain did not appear, a gust of wind swept by, and the handsome guy rushed to her to block it, and firmly grasped the dart with one hand!
Ruan Di slowly opened his eyes, the big hand in front of him tightly grasped the dart, blood oozed from his white fingers, and flowed down his wrist into the sleeve, and the cuff was embroidered with the word "Xiao Xian" with gold thread, probably his name.
"Damn, cowβ"
"What did you say?" Suddenly the sound from above her head startled Ruan Di, she looked up, only to find that she was stuck in Qi Xiaoxian's arms, she bounced away like an electric shock, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Qi Xiaoxian threw the dart on the ground, and suddenly felt that Ruan Di was a little familiar, and after thinking about it, he asked her: "The girl is from the Ruan Mansion in Sheng'en Lane?" β
This kung fu little girl ran up and wanted to hold Ruan Di's hand, but she happened to touch her injury, which made Ruan Di frown, and she didn't have the patience to talk to Qi Xiaoxian.
"I'm not, thank you for saving my life." Ruan Di turned around to leave, but Qi Xiaoxian took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to her.
"There are many offenses, and it is the duty of my Officials Department to protect the people, and I will never let innocent people be harmed in the slightest."
Ruan Di was still a little angry in his heart, but he was finally happy after hearing this, put the small porcelain bottle in his pocket, turned around and gave Qi Xiaoxian a thumbs up: "Handsome guy, you are not only a good person, but also good at archery, and your kung fu is also very powerful!" β
