I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Chapter 164: Facing a Dilemma

Fang Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Wenjian, who had the appearance of a scholar and a handsome face, standing in front of her.

At that moment, a warm feeling welled up deep inside her.

Think back to the beginning.

She chose Zhou Wenjian, but I did so only because I was afraid of being beheaded by the authorities for not marrying seven husbands.

That's why she bought him back, just to have another laborer for the family.

Logically speaking, Zhou Wenjian had no reason to face the current predicament for her sake.

Fang Xiao tugged at Zhou Wenjian's sleeve and whispered.

"Wenjian, you can walk by yourself!"

Although that's what she said, her heart was already churning with turmoil, fearing that he would reply with something like, "Okay, then I'll go."

Fortunately, it was all just her personal speculation.

Zhou Wenjian turned around and said in a calm tone.

"My wife, don't talk nonsense. As the saying goes, being husband and wife is a blessing from the previous life, which is why we can be together in this life."

"Since you have married me, my wife, I hereby declare myself a member of the Fang family."

"It is easy to be together in life, and it should be the same in death."

As he spoke, a tear suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye.

Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his mindset, hid the sadness in his heart, lowered his head, and left a message.

"My wife, don't be afraid. I will protect you with my life!"

Say it.

Before Fang Xiaoxiao could respond, Zhou Wenjian had already run past the assassin who was not far ahead.

His running speed is considered very fast by ordinary people!

But in the eyes of the assassins Erga and Sanwa, it was as slow as a snail climbing a tree, ridiculously slow.

Even the third child burst into laughter.

He pointed at Zhou Wenjian and laughed.

"Hahaha, with your abilities, you dare to challenge the two of us? What an idiot!"

Erga, who was standing to the side with a hunched back and eyes gleaming with sharp light, did not respond to him.

He was calmly thinking about how to kill the two men in an instant without attracting attention.

Just now.

He intended to poison the tea so that no one would notice his head was on.

Unfortunately, the plan was disrupted by the people originally facing this side.

After pondering for a moment, Erga lowered his head and said angrily.

"Shut up, let's finish this quickly!"

He was laughing so hard he was clutching his stomach, but the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes looked like curved blades, making him appear quite old.

"Haha, I understand."

Sanwa immediately suppressed his laughter, his large, bell-like eyes fixed on Zhou Wenjian, who was getting closer and closer to them.

"Do it!"

At this moment, Erga no longer delayed and gave the order.

"Finish it quickly so you can go home and rest."

Erga and Sanwa have been playing together since they were little.

Unfortunately, a few months ago, Sanwa found a woman from somewhere and announced that he would marry her.

He was greatly surprised when he heard the news.

Then the third child kept saying he needed money.

It was at this time that His Highness the Crown Prince announced his intention to secretly travel to the Dayu Dynasty.

Erga, who was the Crown Prince's personal bodyguard, resolutely introduced his good brother to the Crown Prince.

Recalling everything, Erga's expression darkened slightly.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset, and after regaining his senses, he pointed to the person coming from the front.

At Erga's command, Sanwa leaped into the air, holding a half-foot-long short blade in his hand.

His eyes were blazing, and he shouted.

"Take your life!"

Before he could finish speaking, a half-foot-long blade emerged from Zhou Wenjian's chest.

It's too late to say.

Zhou Wenjian seemed to have transformed into that clever monkey.

When the short-bladed laborer had gone about fifty miles, he suddenly stopped running forward and turned to the side.

"Ding Dong!"

The short blade broke into three pieces the moment it touched the bluestone bricks on the ground.

The tip, one-third of the blade, and the handle were all reduced to ashes in that instant.

Zhou Wenjian barely escaped the attack and rolled on the ground.

Seeing this happen, he naturally wanted to take advantage of the other party's distraction and unleash his full power to inflict a severe blow.

No matter what.

Just as Zhou Wenjian was about to kick Sanwa in the head...

But then a muffled "bang" was heard.

Zhou Wenjian was beaten until he spat out blood, and his face turned pale instantly.

He was lying face down on the ground, and it was unclear whether he was still alive.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Fang Xiaoxiao's already anxious heart was now filled with even more worry as she looked at Zhou Wenjian lying motionless on the ground.

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally dead.

"It's over, it's over!"

Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think.

Given the current situation, it's likely that she and Zhou Wenjian are in grave danger.

at this time.

Erga, who had kicked Zhou Wenjian several meters away, was still hunched over, his hands behind his back, his face gloomy.

"Tsk tsk tsk, utterly vulnerable."

"A smart person would not make that choice!"

However, he is not a very bright person.

He pointed at Zhou Wenjian, who was trying to get up from the ground but couldn't, and said disdainfully.

This situation is utterly hopeless.

Even Fang Xiaoxiao, who is usually very bold, seemed at a loss at this moment, and her face was extremely ugly.

It was utterly lifeless.

Her face was ashen, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and her petite body was shaking uncontrollably.

For a while.

The whole scene looked quite comical.

Zhou Wenjian lay on the ground, half-dead.

Fang Xiaoxiao was trembling all over, like a frightened little bird.

Then there's the second brother, with a gloomy face and his hands behind his back, and the third brother, who's laughing heartily.

The two stood side by side, creating a stark contrast.

Erga couldn't stand Sanwa laughing so loudly, so he said coldly.

"Laugh again and I'll cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"

"what!"

Upon understanding Erga's words, Sanwa instantly stopped smiling, lowered his head, and looked like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his family to teach him a lesson.

The third child's gums were tightly closed, forcing him not to smile.

He knew very well that Erga was a man of his word; he meant what he said.

The thought of having his tongue cut out for laughing sent a chill down Sanwa's spine.

He looked at Erga cautiously.

"Erga, don't try to fool me with this kind of thing."

"I, I'm not afraid of what you're saying about cutting out my tongue."

This person is just strange.

Despite being terrified, she remained stubborn.

In response to what the big, simple-minded Sanwa said, Erga simply replied coldly.

"You can try……"

His tone was unusually calm, as if what he had just said about cutting off people's tongues was not what he had said.

but.

For Sanwa, who was already at his last gasp, that was far more terrifying than having his head cut off.

Sanwa had to explain immediately.

"I was just joking, Erga, don't take it to heart."

"I promise I'll never laugh again, please forgive me this time!"
