The Legend of Princess Qingping
Chapter 4. Attempted Murder

Liu Qingqing was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after the departure of Zhou Yicheng and Guan Zhong. However, it was a pity that the two bullies came back with faces filled with anger.

"Liu Qingqing, why did you reject His Highness the First Prince's proposal?" li Shu asked while shouting.

Liu Qingqing enjoyed her tea casually without answering a word. To him, Li Shu's question was not a form of caring, but merely to dig a hole of deeper information. So why would he bother explaining the reason to Li Shu?

Seeing Liu Qingqing's disrespectful behavior made Liu Yifei unable to bear to join in shouting, "Liu Qingqing, did you not hear my mother's words? Why don't you take that good chance? Are you stupid or what?"

"Liu Yifei, you dare to shout! Aren't you afraid I'm gonna kill you?" Liu Qingqing kicked the table violently. "Everything I do is none of your business! If you like Prince Zhou Yicheng, please marry him!"

Although Liu Yifei wanted to, it did not mean that Zhou Yicheng would take her as a wife. Although Liu Yifei was the first daughter of General Liu Anren, she was not the son of a legitimate wife. So the best choice should still fall to Liu Qingqing and if it was a natural thing to say, the Feilong Plate would definitely fall into Liu Qingqing's hands.

As the best candidate with perfect beauty of course Liu Qingqing would be more pleasing to the eye. Liu Yifei himself although beautiful, it was nothing more than a beauty that was easily forgotten. Zhou Yicheng was not a fool who would release gold for a piece of copper.

Liu Qingqing did not serve Li Shu and Liu Yifei any further, it was because there were far more important things to take care of. For example, planning the next step to confront Zhou Yicheng over the rejection of the proposal. Liu Qingqing's decision had already changed the plot of the novel so she needed to prepare for other unexpected problems that might come.

When night had come, Liu Qingqing and Bai Liu were in the same room. They were still awake even though there was no conversation at all. Bai Liu lay down on one side. He watched Liu Qingqing from his bed.

Liu Qingqing herself lay on her back while staring at the ceiling of the room. His mind floated around trying to recall every detail of the events from the plot in the novel he was reading. Supposedly after Zhou Yicheng proposed to Liu Qingqing, Song Nian would try to harm Liu Qingqing.

Maybe it will happen like a novel or nothing. It is better to prepare an umbrella before it rains.

Bai Liu decided to ask, after seeing Liu Qingqing not change her position for a long time. "Miss, what are you thinking?"

"It's nothing, Liu'er. Why don't you sleep?"

"There's actually something I want to ask Miss," Bai Liu said softly.

Without turning his head Liu Qingqing asked, "What is that?"

"Why did Miss's attitude change after drowning in the lake? Are Miss not afraid they will take revenge by torturing you more cruelly?"

Liu Qingqing was quite surprised by Bai Liu's question. Obviously his attitude changed because he was not the original owner of the body, but there was no way Liu Qingqing would be telling the truth. In the end he could only sigh heavily. "Of course, maybe it's a blessing from the gods. Isn't this kind of me much better? So I can fight them and protect you."

Liu Qingqing's last words were too memorable in Bai Liu's heart that she subconsciously smiled a little. "Miss, you don't need to protect me because I can protect myself. I'm the one who's supposed to protect you."

"protect me? Liu'er, what are you going to protect me with? Even in the novel alone you are just a submissive girl who can't help your non in spite of the problems. But, I'm glad that you said that plus you're a loyal person," Liu Qingqing thought.

Although Bai Liu's words were a little exaggerated, but Liu Qingqing appreciated him greatly. He turned his head towards Bai Liu and said softly. "Well, you'll take care of me from now on. Now go to sleep because tomorrow we have to go early."

"Good, Miss. Have a good rest" Bai Liu said before moving his body to change position. After that he began to close his eyes, preparing to go to sleep.

Liu Qingqing smiled seeing her servant so submissive. "Liu'er, thank you so much for your sincerity."

As planned, Liu Qingqing and Bai Liu left early in the morning before the sun rose to the horizon. They intend to visit the graves of Liu Qingqing's parents. The distance between the Liu Family residence and the Liu Family burial ground was not too far away, it only took a day to commute.

A group of masked people in black robes mysteriously appeared. They tried to block Liu Qingqing's carriage. Everyone holding a sword in their hands prepared to attack.

"Who are y'all? How dare you block General Liu's daughter's carriage!" shouted the coachman.

The masked group did not bother to reply, with a single breath they instantly attacked. The coachman immediately slid away to fight the bullies. The servants of the Liu Family residence though were not from the Feilong Army, but were trained enough that without waiting for Liu Qingqing's orders they had already dove into the fight.

Liu Qingqing inside the carriage smiled faintly. His heart said, "Eventually this happens as well, just like the plot in the novel."

Bai Liu's expression was inversely proportional to Liu Qingqing's expression. His body trembled violently with his face starting to pale. "Miss, how is this? Our train intercepted someone."

"Liu'er, relax! Don't be afraid, I will protect you," Liu Qingqing said trying to comfort Bai Liu. "You stay here, I'll help them."

"Miss, you don't come out. I'm afraid those people will hurt you," Bai Liu said in fear.

Before exiting the carriage Liu Qingqing looked at Bai Liu and said without hesitation. "Liu'er, trust me. You stay here, don't come out!"

Bai Liu to pervert was speechless by Liu Qingqing's gaze. He felt Liu Qingqing was extremely calm without any hint of fear in the face of the group of assassins. Even he could briefly see his nona smiling as he was about to plunge into battle.

"Is that really Nonaku? Why wasn't he afraid of the killers at all?" thought Bai Liu.

A faint cold flash of light shot out from Liu Qingqing's sleeves. When he pulled his hand away a short knife appeared. Liu Qingqing waved her knife trying to shoot towards the leader of the assassin group.

The leader of the group was named Li Zemin, the highest person among the assassins. Liu Qingqing found out about it from the novel, so she instantly found out the information about Li Zemin before leaving for the funeral this morning.

Li Zemin was stunned to see the short blade about to pierce through his body. He immediately parried Liu Qingqing's blade with the sword. As a thug of the capital Li Zemin could be said to be quite an expert in martial arts. Unfortunately his movements were still less nimble, as the next second Liu Qingqing had already returned to attack.

Liu Qingqing slightly laughed and a small smile appeared on her pretty face. The instincts as a hitman in the modern world are back in the present, forcing him to continue attacking ferociously. Even unbeknownst to anyone secretly Liu Qingqing was waiting for this moment.

"Drop the leader, then the fight will end." An ingenious thought surfaced in Liu Qingqing's mind.

Li Zemin was made shocked by Liu Qingqing's resistance. From the information he got General Liu Anren's daughter couldn't fight at all, but the reality was quite different. Upon seeing the killing intent from the girl's bright eyes, Li Zemin couldn't help but think that he had entered a deep pit of error.

As a thug of the capital did not mean Li Zemin was not afraid of death. Plus the fact that there was still a family waiting for his return, he decided not to continue the fight. Li Zemin could only retreat in haste, but when he was about to do so Liu Qingqing launched a backlash.

Speaking of natural things it is appropriate for Liu Qingqing to be a little martial as self-defense. After all she was the daughter of the great general of the capital. However, people do not know that the soul in the body of the general's daughter is not his real soul, but the soul of another person—Xiao Qing of the modern world, vice chairman of the assassin organization in Beijing.

Liu Qingqing again threw the short blade into the air and struck it forcefully. The blade in the air shot towards the leader of the group of assassins. Li Zemin hurriedly raised his sword to fend off the opponent's attack. While doing that Li Zemin felt like a thousand hammers were hitting him, forcing his arms to tremble violently. The sword in Li Zemin's hand finally fell to the ground.

Taking the opportunity, Liu Qingqing quickly missed towards Li Zemin. His hand was holding a sword that was taken from the corpses of the group of assassins. Liu Qingqing pointed the sword at Li Zemin's neck without the slightest hesitation.

"Say who told you to?" liu Qingqing asked with a deadly spotlight.
