on the way.
Qing Lingyi clearly felt that Cheng Yang was in something wrong. He seemed angry and sad at the same time.
She thought carefully for a moment and gently hugged his waist.
Cheng Yang lowered his eyes and looked at her.
"If the slave I saw in Tianxing Tower is not the person you are looking for, don't be angry with me." Qing Lingyi raised her face and whispered.
Cheng Yang's heart was so soft that he rubbed her cheek with his fingers, "I can't be angry with you."
"But I feel like you're nervous."
"Everything happens for a reason," Cheng Yang stared at her, "When I catch the person, I will take care of everything..."
Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he leaned over and pressed Qing Lingyi under him.
Qing Lingyi was unexpected and was about to ask questions in confusion.
"boom!"
A heavy arrow penetrated from one side of the carriage, passed by where the two of them were, almost grazing Cheng Yang's back, and shot out from the other side of the carriage.
Seeing the arrow body, Qing Lingyi's pupils suddenly dilated.
Cheng Yang held her in his arms, kicked the car door open, and turned over.
The second arrow came, and most of the carriage's cover was broken.
"In the west." Si Rujian appeared from the darkness.
"Keep alive." Cheng Yang gave the order.
"yes."
Si Rujian jumped forward.
Cheng Yang held Qing Lingyi in his arms and entered the nearby teahouse.
The customers inside were frightened by the two heavy arrows and fled away. The shopkeeper was shouting at the door: "Pay first! Everyone! Pay!"
Qing Lingyi came to her senses in a trance amidst the chaotic sounds and struggled to get off the ground: "Bi Wei!"
"She's not here," Cheng Yang held her down, "We came out first, but she didn't come with us."
"She...she..."
"She's fine."
Cheng Yang felt that the person in his arms was shaking really hard and lowered his head, "Hmm?"
Qing Lingyi's eyes were filled with tears.
When he was ten years old, news of Qing Yan's death reached Suidu. It was also that night that Qing's mansion was breached, and the guards Qing Yan left behind resisted to the death.
There were fights everywhere.
There were screams everywhere.
She and Biwei ran away in the bloody storm, with tears streaming down their faces and not daring to look back.
"They are coming..." Qing Lingyi seemed to have fallen into that terrible nightmare again.
"Who are they?" Cheng Yang frowned.
"I don't know. They must have heard that I can also ride and shoot... In the past, they wanted to kill my mother. They also wanted to kill me... and then..."
Qing Lingyi turned his eyes and faced Cheng Yang's face, which was very close at hand.
His handsome facial features are rather cold, with a vertical scar above his eyebrows.
The wound still looked hideous, but it was surprisingly reassuring.
When she was eight years old, she was attacked.
She thought she was dead.
Then, Cheng Yang rescued him.
At this moment, Cheng Yang put her on a chair in a remote corner.
His voice was low and magnetic, ringing in her ears: "I said, I will protect you. With me here, you are safe, no one can hurt you."
As Qing Lingyi listened, her frantic heartbeat gradually calmed down.
She tried her best to hold back her tears and thought about other things: "This is not far from Tianxing Tower. If this news gets passed, I'm afraid that person will run away."
Cheng Yang raised his hand and gently scraped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "It's okay. You can find her again if you run away."
Qing Lingyi sobbed, "Is everything really okay?"
"It's really okay," Cheng Yang said, "Yeah, you are the most important."
"General."
Si Rujian appeared again, with only a heavy bow in his hand.
Cheng Yang glanced over, "Where are the people?"
"Bite your tongue and commit suicide," Si Rujian said. "The body is at the back door."
Cheng Yang was not very surprised by this answer.
Cheng Yang looked over and asked, "Is this the weapon they use?"
"Yes." Si Rujian handed it over.
Cheng Yang looked over and over, and found that the material and workmanship were no different from ordinary bows and arrows.
He looked sideways, "Hmm, how could you tell at that time that it was 'them' who did it?"
Qing Lingyi frowned seriously and said, "Sleep for the first time."
Cheng Yang smiled: "The first sleep doesn't count. Maybe it's not 'them', but Zhegui Ling, or other people who want to kill me."
He handed the heavy bow back to Si Rujian, "Go and check."
"yes."
Qing Lingyi wiped her eyes with her sleeves and stood up, "Then let's go."
"Um?"
"Go to Tianxing Tower." Qing Lingyi said.
Cheng Yang laughed.
You think about me so much, hmm, how dare you say you don't care about me?
Qing Lingyi sniffed and looked at him: "Aren't you going?"
"Go," Cheng Yang said, "but the carriage is broken, um, um, we have to walk there."
There was something strange on the street, and it was the Imperial City Guard who arrived.
Cheng Yang pulled Qing Lingyi around, "If they see us, they will definitely say they want to protect us, which will be very troublesome."
Qing Lingyi followed him, ducking through the street stalls.
Turn left at the end of the road and you will see the main entrance of Tianxing Tower.
Cheng Yang suddenly stopped.
Qing Lingyi bumped his head on his lower back and groaned.
Cheng Yang stretched out his hand, rubbed her forehead, and whispered: "The entrance to Tianxing Tower is surrounded."
Qing Lingyi leaned over and took a look.
Jinwuwei.
"Is it Ming Kan's arrangement?" Qing Lingyi asked quietly.
"Not sure."
Cheng Yang turned to look at Qing Lingyi: "I'll lead them away, and you go in and control them."
Qing Lingyi shook his head: "No need to bother. Come with me."
So, she led Cheng Yang and continued to sneak around.
Go back first and turn left at the intersection.
Turn right again and enter a quiet alley.
A dozen steps away, a small door opened.
"This is the back door of Tianxing Tower. Not many people know about it," Qing Lingyi said.
"Yes, yes, it's you." Cheng Yang praised him without hesitation.
Qing Lingyi smiled a little embarrassedly.
Cheng Yang raised his hand and knocked on the door.
A fierce question came from inside: "Who is it?"
Cheng Yang was about to answer when Qing Lingyi pinched his palm to stop him and said, "It's me! I'm here to see Shopkeeper Xi!"
Without saying anything, the back door was quickly opened from the inside.
Xu Lian's delighted smile came into view: "I'm looking forward to you!"
Qing Lingyi smiled at him.
"Come in!" Xu Lian warmly invited.
Qing Lingyi hummed and walked inside.
Cheng Yang also wanted to enter, but Xu Lian let out a "tsk".
Cheng Yang frowned.
Xu Lian also frowned, even more tightly than him.
"He is my husband." Qing Lingyi introduced with a slight blush.
Cheng Yang raised his eyebrows.
Xu Lian's brows furrowed even deeper. It turned out that he was the lucky Prime Minister Di Xi.
Look at the scar on his eye.
His attitude became better, "Then let's come in together."
The two entered the back door. Xu Lian took a cautious look outside to make sure there was nothing abnormal before closing the door.
Qing Lingyi asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xu Lian glanced at Cheng Yang again.
Qing Lingyi smiled and said: "It's okay. He can listen."
Xu Lian then said: "That's right. We took in a slave here a few days ago and kept him in the woodshed as you said. I didn't expect that he broke free from the rope today and killed two guys."
Qing Lingyi was stunned.
Cheng Yang asked in a deep voice: "He escaped?"
