Chapter 367 Take care of your dog!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan frowned.
Looking at the black cat surrounded by black dogs, its fur stood on end and it made a howling sound.
Ling Jinlan grabbed her arm anxiously.
Jiang Ningwan patted her hands and rushed forward immediately.
"Give me money, give me money. I won the bet, and I'm betting on this black cat!" Zhou Yu was spreading his hands and urging the people around him to give him money.
As soon as the silver was placed in his hand, Jiang Ningwan rushed over and kicked the silver out of his hand.
"You dare to gamble so arrogantly in the palace?"
Zhou Yu was shocked and took several steps back before steadying himself. Seeing that it was Jiang Ningwan again, he snorted coldly, "What? You want to save these beasts?"
"These black dogs of mine won't stop bleeding until they bleed. If you have the ability, go and save them yourself."
He wanted to see whether Jiang Ningwan's bones were harder or the teeth of these big black dogs were harder.
Jiang Ningwan punched Zhou Yu angrily.
Then he jumped into the pack of dogs.
The strong and powerful legs kicked one of the dogs away. The remaining black dogs sensed a more dangerous enemy and turned around, growling warningly at Jiang Ningwan.
At this moment, Ling Chaowen found a stick from somewhere and immediately threw it to Jiang Ningwan, "Ningwan, catch it!"
Jiang Ningwan jumped up and caught the stick.
With the weapon in hand, the black dog was completely enraged and immediately pounced on Jiang Ningwan, trying to bite her.
Jiang Ningwan didn't hold back with the stick, hitting the vital points with all his strength, one after another.
The dogs whimpered in pain, but bared their teeth even more ferociously, with blood on their mouths and murderous eyes.
These dogs are no longer ordinary dogs. They look no different from mad dogs and are controlled by Zhou Yu. Keeping them will always be a nuisance and a threat.
Jiang Ningwan attacked ruthlessly, hitting the vital points.
Two of them fell down one after another, gasping for breath but unable to get up.
Zhou Yu was extremely anxious when he saw this, fearing that Jiang Ningwan would be beaten to death by him, so he immediately whistled.
The remaining three immediately stopped attacking and returned to Zhou Yu.
He glared at Jiang Ningwan with gritted teeth, "It was the Fourth Prince of Dayan who asked me to deal with these beasts. Jiang Ningwan, you stopped me from doing my job. If the Emperor asks about it, are you up to the task?"
Jiang Ningwan said in a cold tone, "How can these cats be as noisy as your dog? I can hear the dog barking from such a distance."
"Besides, even if these animals are noisy, we can just drive them out of the palace. Why kill them and leave blood everywhere? What do you think this palace is?"
As she spoke, Jiang Ningwan glanced at the three dogs at his feet, staring at her fiercely. As long as Zhou Yu gave the order, they would pounce on Jiang Ningwan again.
"You'd better keep your dog under control. If it bothers me, I don't mind helping you clean it up!"
Many noble ladies who were watching the whole process nearby were angry and afraid of the ferocious black dog.
"That's right! Your dog barks much louder than a cat!"
"Such a vicious beast should not be brought into the palace. What if it hurts someone?"
Under the scolding of everyone, Zhou Yu had nothing to refute.
But he couldn't beat Jiang Ningwan, so he held his breath and left with his men.
After they left, Ling Jinlan quickly ran to the garden and found the dying black cat in the grass.
Because the hair is black, it has been injured and bleeding for a long time but it is not visible.
"Sister, it's only breathing its last breath."
Jiang Ningwan quickly stepped forward and picked up the cat. "I've brought medicine. Come to my place first. Cousin, you can bury the bodies."
"it is good."
Not long after returning to the room, Qin Shuangchi hurried back.
He heard what happened in the garden, but when he rushed over, everyone had already dispersed.
The black cat lay on the soft cloth on the table, howling in pain.
The wound on the leg was already exposed and needed stitches.
"You're back just in time. Help me hold it down."
"it is good."
Ling Jinlan fetched some clean water and waited by the side.
Jiang Ningwan picked up the needle and thread and sewed the wound with quick movements. She thought the black cat would struggle in pain, but unexpectedly, it just howled louder.
No struggle at all.
Qin Shuangchi also noticed it, so he let it go and started stroking it gently instead.
"It seemed like it knew we were saving it."
Jiang Ningwan sewed up the wound neatly, sprinkled hemostatic medicine on it, and bandaged it up bit by bit.
“Everything has a spirit.”
After bandaging the wound, Jiang Ningwan washed her hands.
Then he got some food and water for Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was in so much pain that he had no strength left. After eating two bites, he licked Jiang Ningwan's hand, as if to say thank you.
Ling Jinlan found a basket, put a cushion on it, and put the little black cat in it.
"Sister, this kitten is injured and needs to be taken care of for a while. Why don't you leave it with me?"
Ling Jinlan was afraid that she couldn't protect herself.
Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Okay."
After a while, Ling Chaowen arrived and said, "I buried all the bodies in the garden under the pear tree."
"Ah, it's their bad luck to meet Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu keeps those things, and people are scared when they see them."
Jiang Ningwan frowned in thought, "That the Fourth Prince finds cats annoying is inexplicable. Is this a way of showing off his power since he just arrived in Daning Kingdom?"
After coming to her senses, Jiang Ningwan reminded him again to stay away from the Fourth Prince.
Everyone's reaction after hearing this was surprisingly consistent: disbelief, and they were determined to avoid the Fourth Prince.
Qin Shuangchi added, "I have already informed Eunuch Hai to move you and your sister's accommodation to the next door, so that you can be closer and take care of us."
Soon, a eunuch came to arrange for Ling Chaowen and Ling Jinlan to change their residence.
The two siblings lived next door, and in the quiet night, even the sound of doors closing and footsteps could be heard clearly, which made Jiang Ningwan feel a lot more at ease.
He glanced at Qin Shuangchi and said, "Thank you."
Qin Shuangchi closed the door and said, "Why are you thanking me? I wanted to exchange Pei Xunzhi and the others for me, but their father is in the palace, so it's safe."
Jiang Ningwan placed the basket containing Xiao Hei on the bedside table, took off her shoes, and got into bed. "They are all accompanied by their families, so I am not worried. As long as they are on guard against the Fourth Prince, that's all that's fine."
……
As the night deepened, the Qiwu Palace became exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of patrolling guards' footsteps.
The security is tight and reassuring.
Only from the small courtyard in the west corner could the sound of stringed instruments be heard.
Xie Yongan sat on the steps, crossed his legs, drank wine, and admired Xiangsui's dance.
A maid came over quickly, "Master, the eldest prince of Daning is here."
Xie Yongan was slightly tipsy and said lazily, "Just say I'm resting and I won't see you."
Just as he finished speaking, Qin Chengqian's voice could be heard from outside: "The music can be heard from a long distance away. If the Fourth Prince doesn't want to see me, there's no need to use such an excuse."
"I heard that the Fourth Prince enjoys watching dances, listening to music, and drinking wine, so I specially brought a jar of fine wine and a beautiful dancer to entertain him. Wouldn't the Fourth Prince like to take a look?"
After hearing this, Xie Yongan became interested.
"come in."
Xie Yongan didn't have much hope, but he also wanted to see what the eldest prince of Daning Kingdom wanted to do with him.
The maid led Qin Chengqian inside.
Behind him, there was a woman in white, her skirt blew by the night wind, making her look like a lotus with every step.
Xie Yongan raised his head to drink, and when he saw the woman's face, his whole body trembled and he choked on the wine.
"Cough cough cough..."
