Chapter 218 Stay calm in times of crisis
Ning Zhiwei blocked the arrow lightly with his arm, but for some reason, it fell to the ground.
She retreated quickly and calmly, and the guards around her rushed over and protected her tightly.
The guards were terrified, "Hurry up and escort the master away from here."
Ning Zhiwei's eyes fell on the man in black not far away and he ordered coldly, "Capture him alive."
"Yes." Several guards rushed over and fought with the men in black.
Ning Zhiwei did not choose to leave, but stepped forward to pick up the child, walked up to the high platform on the side, and looked at the chaotic scene of panicked escape. She frowned. If the situation could not be controlled, there would be a large number of casualties, which would cast a huge shadow on the subsequent trade.
She raised her voice and shouted, "Everyone, the assassin has been killed."
Not only did she shout, but the guards also shouted in unison.
The people who were fleeing in panic were stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a beautiful girl holding a child, waving to everyone calmly.
"I am Ning Zhiwei, the Lord of Jingning County. I am also the Patriarch of the Ning Family and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ning Family Army. Don't panic, everyone. I am here, and the Ning Family Army is here. Now, slow down, walk slowly, and walk separately to avoid trampling."
"Trust me, the Ning family army and I are here to protect your safety, so don't panic. The more you panic, the more likely something will happen."
"I will stay here and watch everyone leave safely. Now follow my instructions. I promise everyone will be safe."
She calmly directed the scene and quickly dispersed the crowd.
Her expression was so calm and her tone was so steady that it greatly soothed the panicked hearts of the people.
Yes, the Ning family army is here, and the Princess of Jingning County is here too, so what is there to be afraid of?
Didn't the daughter of the Jingning County Lord, who was a noble woman, still stand guard in a dangerous situation? She didn't hide, nor did she turn a blind eye.
Instead, we stand firmly in the front line.
This is the spirit of the Ning Family Army, sharing weal and woe with the people!
They involuntarily followed Ning Zhiwei's arrangements and left the scene quickly and silently.
The whole process was quick and quiet. At the same time, they also deeply remembered the Princess of Jingning County, who was also their new master in the northwest.
It doesn't matter whether she is a man or a woman, what matters is that she can protect the people.
Not far away, Prince Hadir stared blankly at the beautiful girl shining brightly on the podium, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
This is the girl from the Ning family, strong and fearless, with all the means and strategies.
He finally understood why she was able to take the position of commander-in-chief of the Ning family army. It was not because of her surname, but because of her ability.
He looked at the Zheng sisters who had fainted from fright, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
They are both women, why is there such a big difference?
When the situation stabilized, the child's family came over, and the little guy still nestled in Ning Zhiwei's arms and refused to leave.
The child's family thanked him profusely, and Ning Zhiwei comforted them with a few words before leaving.
Ning Liu rushed over with a pale face, pulling her to look at him, "Fifth sister, are you okay? I heard you were shot by an arrow? Let me see."
Ning Zhiwei gently pushed her away, lifted his sleeves, revealing a black gold wristband that looked like iron but was not, and it was this that blocked the fatal arrow.
"Don't worry, I'm not hit by an arrow. I'm wearing a gold-threaded soft armor. It's very difficult to kill me."
Living a new life, she cherished her life very much and armed herself fully.
She took the basin handed over by the maid and washed her face and hands, and said softly, "It's okay, don't be nervous."
Ning Liu stamped his feet in anger, "Why are you so stupid? Why are you still staying in the dangerous place? If you have anything to do, let the people below do it. If you have something to do, what should we do? What should the Ning family army do?"
The fate of the Ning family depends on Ning Zhiwei. Without Ning Zhiwei, a group of female family members may not be able to survive in this world.
Ning Zhiwei sat down, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. "Xiao Liu, the higher you stand, the greater the responsibility you bear. My grandfather once taught me that the responsibility of the Ning family is to protect the country and the people and to guard the area. If you treat the people as your relatives, the people will support you. This is the real reason why the Ning family has been standing firm for two hundred years in guarding the border."
Ning Liu was silent. They received different educations. The noble ladies in the capital city learned housekeeping, needlework, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood. They had only one goal in life, which was to marry a good husband and have many children.
However, Ning Zhiwei was brought up as a man. A man has great ambitions and fights on the battlefield. He learns military tactics, literature and martial arts.
At this moment, the subordinate reported, "Master, Prince Hadir wants to see you."
Ning Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, "Let him in."
Prince Hadir not only came, but also brought the Zheng sisters with him. He threw the two unconscious women to the ground and said, "I'll give them to you..."
Ning Zhiwei frowned slightly, "First of all, they are not yours, they are the people of our Great Qi Kingdom."
"Secondly, you have no right to say that."
I hate this kind of arrogant guy the most. It's annoying.
Prince Haldir raised his eyebrows, "Okay, you are right, I was wrong, I will bring them to you and leave them to you to deal with."
Ning Zhiwei looked at the smiling man and frowned. Are you okay? What happened?
"Come here, take the Zheng sisters away for interrogation. We must find out who is behind this."
"Yes." The subordinate did not retreat, but asked, "Does the trade fair need to be closed?"
Ning Zhiwei waved her hand, "No need. If we close it, we'll fall into the enemy's trap. Keep it open and send twice as many people over. Be loose on the outside but tight on the inside. If you see anyone suspicious, arrest them immediately. Remember, keep quiet."
"Yes."
Ning Zhiwei said without hesitation, "Spread the word that someone deliberately assassinated me and Prince Hadir of the Great Jin, intending to destroy the relationship between the two countries and close the trade. Please be vigilant and report any suspicious people to the patrolling soldiers."
"I will announce that I will personally host the opening ceremony of the market tomorrow and invite all companies to come and support me."
"Yes."
The instructions were issued one after another, swiftly, decisively and smartly.
Ning Zhiwei finally sat down to drink some water, and then she heard a voice, "Ning Zhiwei, marry me."
It was Prince Hadir. He looked at Ning Zhiwei with passionate eyes, as if he had discovered some treasure.
Ning Zhiwei's face darkened. Before he could say anything, Ning Liu went crazy. "What are you dreaming about? My fifth sister is so noble and smart. How could she marry a foreigner, and a foreigner with many wives and concubines and countless children?"
wishful thinking!
Prince Hadir's expression suddenly became serious. "I will dismiss my wives and concubines, let them take their children away, and make you my legal wife. Our children will inherit the thrones of both countries."
"Where did the thrones of the two countries come from..." Ning Liu's voice stopped abruptly, and his pupils shook violently.
