I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

All the children got together to discuss and decided that a life of wealth and glory is good, but life is more important.

Therefore, the eighteen children unanimously decided not to go. No matter if others say they are cowardly or short-sighted, isn't it the most important thing for people to be alive?

In this way, the days were delayed one after another.

Seeing that Qiao Linqin and the others were not going, Qiao Linbao, who had originally planned to go to the capital to join Tong Yu, also changed his mind and decided not to go.

This surprised Tong Yu. He thought that after these months of getting along, Qiao Linbao and he had become closer. However, when it came time to choose between him and the Qiao family, Qiao Linbao chose his family again.

"Master, I'm sorry. My sister Lin Xi is not here, so I have to stay and take care of the others. Our Qiao family is a big group and cannot be separated."

After a few days of stalemate, the Qiao family still couldn't persuade these children and left in disappointment. Tong Yu also returned to the capital.

Gu Changfeng left as soon as they left Lanqing City and a child fell sick. He didn't have the temperament to take care of a group of children.

I thought that after the Qiao family left and the children stopped going to the capital, their illnesses would be cured.

But before the Qiao Linshu brothers could recover, an accident happened again, or to be exact, an assassination.

Qiao Linqin and the others refused the Qiao family's escort, and more than a dozen children dragged their weak bodies back. They thought that if they didn't go to the capital, they would be fine, but they were still too naive.

On the way back, there is an official road halfway up the mountain. Although the road is wide, there is a deep abyss below the road, shrouded in clouds and mist, making it impossible to see how deep it is.

When they passed by here on the way here, the children were very scared when they saw the white fog below. Now when they passed by here again, they felt a little uneasy.

"Let's get as close to the inside as possible."

A dozen children, holding hands, walked towards the innermost part. Qiao Linshan was in the front, and Qiao Linbao followed behind.

After walking more than halfway along the cliff road and about to pass this terrifying road, several horse-drawn carriages suddenly appeared in front of us. The carriages were very wide and almost took up the entire road.

Qiao Linshan's heart skipped a beat and she stopped immediately, leaning against the earth wall above. The other children did the same, thinking that if they made way, the carriage would pass soon.

The speed of those carriages did not slow down, but they drove towards this side quickly, passing by Qiao Linshan and Qiao Linqin.

Suddenly, a sharp sword stabbed out from the carriage and pointed directly at Qiao Linqi's throat.

"what……"

Qiao Linshu and Qiao Linqi were sitting next to each other. His head was dizzy, but he was still aware of the dangers from the outside world.

When he saw a sword tip emerging, he pulled Qiao Linqi, and the tip of the sword pierced Qiao Linqi's neck and hit the earth wall behind him.

At the same time, swords were thrust out from the other carriages, and all the children screamed in fear.

"Bend over and run forward."

Qiao Linbao had a sword in his hand, which was given to him by Tong Yu before he left. He had no problem protecting himself, but the other children were unarmed and could only flee around instinctively.

Qiao Linbao tried his best to protect the others. Although he had practiced martial arts for nearly a year, his foundation was still weak. He had no practical experience and could only rely on his immature skills to resist the assassinations. After several attempts, he was already injured in many places.

The people on the carriage also got off. They were all masked men. Their target was clear, which was to stab the two brothers Qiao Linshu.

Qiao Linbao also noticed it. He gave up protecting his brother and ran towards Qiao Linshu.

"Who are you? Why are you killing us children?"

Qiao Linbao could tell that these people were not real killers, but ordinary people in disguise. Their moves were also random, otherwise how could he, who was not even a half-baked warrior, be a match for these people?

"We are not going to the capital anymore, why do we have to kill them all?"

Those people finally spoke up and said, "If you think about things you shouldn't think about, you will die."

As soon as they finished speaking, the attacks of those people became more brutal, as if they really wanted to kill all these kids.

"We won't go to the Qiao family anymore, why don't you let us go?"

"Your existence is wrong."

The children fled in all directions. Although those men were not professional killers, they were still one-sidedly crushed when facing a group of children.

"Kid, if you want to blame someone, just blame your bad luck. It was a mistake to be born. Hope you can be born into a better family in your next life."

The brothers Qiao Linqi and Qiao Linshu were forced to fall to the ground. After sitting up and looking at the shining sword, they could only retreat slowly.

"Brother, I'm scared." Qiao Linshu, who had always been a sunny boy, was so scared that he started crying. "Are we going to die here? Do grandma and the others think we are a bunch of wild kids and will be embarrassed if we enter the capital, so they want to kill us?"

Qiao Linqi's face was pale. He didn't know whether what Qiao Linshu said was right or not. He only knew that the person who killed them must be from the capital.

"You are a sensible person. Don't join the Qiao family in your next life."

After the assassin finished speaking, he raised his sword and stabbed Qiao Linshu in the forehead.

Qiao Linshu had given up resistance, he knew he could not escape from these people, so he closed his eyes and waited for death.

"Ding……"

A crisp sound rang in Qiao Linshu's ears, but the expected pain did not come, and what followed was a cry of pain.

"Who is so bold as to attack our Qiao family?"

"Who gave you the courage to kill someone in broad daylight?"

In the distance, two horses were galloping towards them, with a pretty woman and a woman in black on their backs.

The children looked in the direction of the sound, and were surprised when they saw clearly.

"Sister Lin Xi."

Qiao Linxi was like a ray of light, illuminating the children in the darkness. When they saw Qiao Linxi coming, a voice in their hearts said that they were saved.

Qiao Linxi rode over on horseback with a whip in his hand. Before he reached the assassins, the whip had already flown towards them.

The sword that was used to assassinate Qiao Linshu and his brother was knocked away by a stone by the woman in black next to Qiao Linxi. She was Yue Li.

"Yue Li..."

As Qiao Linxi opened his mouth, Yue Li patted the horse's back with one hand, jumped up, and flew forward with a sharp sword in hand.

At this moment, the situation turned around, and the assassin who was originally in the upper hand was instantly turned into ashes by Yue Li.

After three or five moves, all the assassins lost their ability to fight and were trampled under Yue Li's feet.

Qiao Linxi looked around at the children. All eighteen were still alive, just with varying degrees of injuries. This was the greatest luck.

"Who sent you to kill my brother and sister?"

The person being stepped on by Yue Li pouted at Qiao Linxi and said, "You don't deserve to know."

Qiao Linxi chuckled and said, "You won't tell me, right? Then there's no point in keeping your head. Yue Li, cut off his head."
