Although I appeared calm on the surface, I was secretly sweating. Although I had encountered some dangerous situations in the past, I was basically prepared. At the very least, I had some plans. There were only two encounters that truly caught me off guard. The first time was when he was captured by Yuan Shao. Fortunately, he was saved. There was another time when Mystic Moon brought me out of the Qiao Mansion in the middle of the night and saw Mystic. Therefore, it was still a close call.
However, this time, I really couldn't think of a solution. I naturally couldn't place my hopes on luck, and these soldiers from the remote areas probably wouldn't listen to my long speech. There was a saying that went,"When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reasoning clearly." This…Damn, I suddenly feel that this is a wise saying.
In the next moment, a few loud bangs sounded. The door had already been forcefully knocked open. A few black shadows swarmed in, mixed with shouts, and the entire scene instantly became chaotic.
"The criminals inside, stand properly. Don't move, do you hear me!”
"Ah, this is beautiful…"
I glanced over and saw that Sir Qiao's precious coral sculpture had fallen into someone's pocket.
I took a deep breath. Alright, this is a critical period, so I can only be polite to them. I'll settle the score after I'm out of danger.
" Little…Miss…" Cheng Wu and Jiang Ge had already come to my side. Cheng Wu tugged at my sleeve and whispered,""Miss, what should we do?"
Before I could say anything, the leader of the group had already walked in front of me. He narrowed his eyes and sized me up with a fake smile."You…are Qiao Xuan's second daughter?”
What are you looking at? Do you think you can look at me with your sneaky eyes? "Yes," I replied.
"Take him away!"
With a command, a few soldiers rushed up, pulled our arms and sleeves, and dragged us into the courtyard.
I naturally didn't resist. I tried my best to avoid their touch and walked out on my own accord. In the courtyard, Madam Qiao, Chao Rong, and the servants were all standing in a line. Many of them were hugging their heads and crying. Opposite them stood a line of soldiers who were standing guard with stern expressions on their faces. The atmosphere was unusually gloomy.
"Go over and stand properly!" An officer shouted in my ear and pushed me hard.
I was caught off guard and stumbled. I frowned, but I still glanced at Mrs. Qiao. She looked haggard and her face was dark, but she didn't cry. She only comforted Chao Rong, who was sobbing in her arms.
I was about to walk over when I heard a scream behind me.
In this noisy and chaotic scene, the sudden high-decibel cry of a girl surprised everyone. Even the group of women who had been crying with their heads lowered turned their heads to look.
" Let go of me, don't touch me with your dirty hands…You…"
I opened my eyes wide. The girl who screamed was Jiang Ge. She was so angry that her face was red. She was pulled out by two soldiers.
As she struggled, she shouted,"Where did you touch me? Shameless…"
"Pa!" Jiang Ge was slapped in the face.
The leading officer's expression changed, and he slowly walked over.
"What are you shouting for? How noble do you think you are? Isn't she just a little girl? Even your Madam and Young Miss are prisoners, what are you?”
"You rebels will get your retribution! Hmph, you can only be arrogant for a moment.”
Jiang Ge glared at him fiercely. Only then did I see clearly that her clothes had been pulled into a mess. She bit her lips and her face was filled with shame and anger. I frowned. These rebels were recruited from Shaanxi and have always been lawless. This time, Li Jue and Guo Si came to the capital and even wanted to kill the Emperor, making them even more arrogant. However, what was the point of Jiang Ge going against them? She would only be unlucky…
As expected, when the officer heard this, he became even angrier and said,"Cheap girl, why do you have so much nonsense? If you don't want to live, I'll grant you your wish.”He pulled out the sword at his waist and wanted to kill.
The soldier beside him pulled Jiang Ge back and said with a lewd smile," Big Brother, why are you so angry? Look at this little girl. She's pretty. It's a pity to kill her. Why don't…" A hand had already touched Jiang Ge's body.
Jiang Ge's scream was heard again. She was slapped again. This time, her entire right cheek was red and swollen.
Mrs. Qiao and the maids in the manor had already turned their faces away, unable to bear to watch any longer.
I involuntarily took a step forward and shouted,"Stop!"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on me. No one expected me to jump out at this moment. Actually, I didn't expect it either. Really, I swear, I definitely didn't want to jump out. I told myself a thousand times that I had to endure it. At this time, it was the wisest choice to protect myself. But…I don't know what's going on either. By the time I realized it, I was already screaming.
When the leading officer heard the voice, he strode over with a furious expression. He had just pulled out the saber in his hand and had yet to return it to its sheath. Under the sunlight, it shone brightly, as if he was about to kill someone at any moment. In fact, looking at the veins on his forehead, I also felt that he was going to kill someone.
Cold sweat trickled down my back. I was filled with regret. Wow, am I possessed by a ghost? Why can't my actions and consciousness be connected?
I revealed a weak smile and took a few steps back." Hehe, that…General, I really didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean to offend you. You guys…" I suddenly felt that something was wrong and swallowed the last few words. Damn it, I can't let you force my servant girl.
"How is it?"
" Well," I thought quickly," I mean... you should forgive us. We will all be grateful for your kindness.”I don't know what I'm talking about. Isn't talking about merit with these people like asking a tiger for its skin? However, it was best to stall for time. What should he do? He had to think of a way…
"Oh, the rich young miss is actually so kind-hearted. How about this, if you want me to let go of your girl, you will have to exchange her yourself. The second young mistress of the Qiao family is a famous beauty. When she returns to her hometown, she will be able to talk about her love story with the young mistress. She will be able to return home in glory and have a lot of face. Haha!”The group of people actually burst into laughter.
I was so angry that I didn't know what to say. I saw Mrs. Qiao's expression from the corner of my eye and almost fainted.
"You shameless barbarian, how dare you talk about the Second Miss like this, I…I will fight it out with you!”Jiang Ge screamed again, not knowing whether she was dead or alive. She struggled desperately." I'd rather die than be humiliated by these people!”
I glared at her with all my might. Don't be rash…What the hell is going on? His life was more important. As for the others…Alright, there was always a way to deal with the others.
However, she obviously didn't look at me. Her face was filled with determination to die. She started kicking and hitting the soldiers who were capturing her.
The leading officer was also impatient. He frowned and shouted," Take him away. He's really in the way!"”
The soldier responded and dragged Jiang Ge to the back.
I clenched my fists tightly and felt that my nails had already pierced into my palms. Blood was starting to seep out, but I didn't feel any pain. On the contrary, I felt an indescribable anxiety and despair. I really hated myself. Why didn't I know martial arts? Why didn't I have any ability? I couldn't even protect the servant girl who had always followed me and was as close as a sister.
I didn't save her because I wanted to save my own life. "Although I know that it's useless for me to save her and that I'll only die in vain…I feel guilty and want to commit suicide.
