Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1929 - 1936: Yu’er Is Missing (4)
Immediately, a group of men who looked like guards emerged from all around, including the man who had just bumped into Cai Wei. They charged towards Nangong Yi with sticks, short knives, and other weapons, fierce and menacing.
If Nangong Yi were dealing with them alone, Cai Wei wouldn’t be afraid or worried, but now Nangong Yi was also holding Jin’er in his arms. Blades and swords are blind; if they accidentally hurt Jin’er, things would escalate!
Cai Wei hurriedly shouted, "Watch out for the child!"
While shouting, the group of people had already rushed to Nangong Yi’s front, raising sticks to strike. Nangong Yi sidestepped, dodging the stick that aimed to hit him, and raised his palm, knocking the assailant to the ground.
Soon, several other thugs also closed in on Nangong Yi’s side. Nangong Yi held Jin’er in one arm while countering with the other.
If Nangong Yi were alone, this group of ruffians wouldn’t be a match for him at all. However, with Jin’er in his arms, he had to consider the child’s safety, not only protecting the child but also confronting eight or nine strong thugs with one hand — it was exceedingly challenging.
Cai Wei was very anxious; she was too careless. The guards from the Qing Luo Kingdom were sent back to deliver the eagle, leaving only her and Nangong Yi, along with two tender young children, putting them at a severe disadvantage!
"Mother, let’s help Dad!" Yu’er, upon seeing a group surrounding his father aggressively, immediately clenched his little fist in anger. Jin’er was not afraid either; he positioned his little face sternly, quietly nestled in his father’s arms, glaring angrily at the people assaulting his father. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Nangong Yi fought conservatively, prioritizing Jin’er’s safety above all, unable to exert freely, not gaining any advantage. Seeing this, Cai Wei felt both heartache and urgency. She carried Yu’er out of the crowd. Outside the crowd, an old grandma was watching the bustle, so Cai Wei handed Yu’er over, saying, "Elderly lady, please kindly watch my child for a while, and I’ll come for them once I resolve this matter."
The old grandma took Yu’er in her arms, saying, "What a beautiful child. Girl, rest assured, I’ll take good care of the child."
Cai Wei said, "Thank you," and returned to aid Nangong Yi.
Upon returning, a thug was just about to launch a sneak attack from behind Nangong Yi. Cai Wei was furious and swiftly pulled out the ivory hairpin from her head, throwing it with force. A flash of white light was seen, and the assailant’s wrist was pierced through, causing him to cry out in agony, dropping the raised curved knife, almost injuring himself.
Cai Wei, while fighting, approached Nangong Yi, and smoothly took Jin’er into her embrace.
Nangong Yi finally could unleash his skills. His eyes gleamed with fierceness, and he swiftly moved towards the group of villains. Wherever he went, the scene was chaotic: thunderous screams, the crisp sound of bone fractures, the dull thud of fists striking, the "bang bang" of bodies hitting the ground, causing the onlooking crowd to cheer.
In an instant, the thugs were all laid flat. Nangong Yi calmly walked up to the man who had been inappropriate with Cai Wei earlier, looking down on him. The man had long been defeated by Nangong Yi, unable to get up.
He looked at the man standing above him, whose body wore a purple and gold five fortunes and dragon pattern robe in the style of Great Jin, stone green python belt around his waist, head adorned with a purple gold crown inset with gems. Draped outside was a black sable fur coat, standing there with eyes emanating overwhelming murderous intent, an aura so strong it left others breathless.
"Mercy...mercy..." he trembled, just a look at that man terrified him out of his wits.
Nangong Yi kicked at him, sending the man rolling like a leather ball, not to mention earlier ceramic shards on him not being cleared, and his ribs fractured by Nangong Yi’s kick. Now, this move practically cost him his life.
