Xie Sui'an and Huang Yankun were sitting opposite each other in the elegant room of the restaurant facing the river on the second floor.
Huang Yankun was very attentive to Xie Sui'an's food and wine. When facing people he didn't like, the most polite thing Xie Sui'an could do was to squeeze out a mechanical smile on his face. All Huang Yankun's words were treated with a perfunctory "um um oh oh" .
Seeing the sky getting dark outside, Xie Sui'an put down his chopsticks, clutched his stomach, and frowned.
"Miss Xie Liu, what's wrong?" Seeing that Xie Sui'an was not feeling well, Huang Yankun quickly stood up and tried to help her.
Xie Sui'an raised his hand to stop him, trying his best to make his voice sound weaker: "It's okay, maybe I'm hungry... I'll go out and take care of it, please wait a moment."
Xie Sui'an wanted to get up, but suddenly her movements stopped - she really had no strength left. She reacted and glared at Huang Yankun angrily.
"You drugged me?!"
Huang Yankun tore off the mask of diligence on his face and stretched out a strange smile, as if to show that he was sure of victory. He walked to the window and closed it.
"Miss Xie Liu, I know you have always looked down on me and are just using me, but I am also a magistrate. I can be used as a sword by you, but do you have to give me some benefits?"
Huang Yankun sat next to Xie Sui'an and held her hand.
"Shameless villain!"
"Thank you Miss Liu, shamelessness can go far in this world - now, I also want to protect you. This is the safest place tonight. If you fall into the hands of Qi people, don't say that you are just from a noble family. A daughter, even Ling Fu Diji ended up like that..."
Xie Sui'an stared at Huang Yankun bitterly - she was careless and it was hard for a villain to guard against her.
——
The afterglow has already dimmed a large area of the sky. Looking at the sky, the twilight drum of Youshi is about to beat.
Nan Yi, who was waiting outside the city wearing a curtain hat, was anxious. She didn't know what went wrong with Xie Sui'an. If she couldn't show up, would the arrow still be shot?
If he ejaculates and no one responds, the rescue will become a joke. This will inevitably attract the attention of the Qi people and strengthen the guards on the city wall. This strategy cannot be repeated again.
Nan Yi hoped to successfully rescue Xie Zhu, but she became really anxious - what should she do? What happened?
Nan Yi looked up at the city wall and saw Hu Sha personally leading a patrol. It seemed like an ordinary day, but in fact Qi Bing had already pulled up a big net and invited you to enter the urn.
At this time, there was an explosion, and there was chaos at the entrance to the city. The people screamed and ran away, and the guards spread out to check the situation. On the city wall, Usha immediately became alert. As soon as he raised his hand, the soldiers on the city wall immediately entered a state of preparation for war.
Immediately afterwards, the first dusk drum sounded.
The sound of the drum was thick and long, lingering in the setting sun and cold wind for a long time. This moment seemed as long as a day and night.
Nan Yi felt as if her body was filled with the sound of the drum, her heartbeat, her pulse, and all the muscles in her body tightened - the drum was beating in her body.
Even though she warned herself not to go to any battlefield, her subconscious still helped her make the decision. Maybe she had been on the battlefield a long time ago, but she just didn't think so.
Nan Yi's mind was empty and he couldn't care too much. He then forced himself to raise his whip and drive the mule cart into the city.
If Xie Sui'an had an accident and didn't come, and Chang Yan was notified, then at most she would just go into the city without incident. If Xie Sui'an didn't have time to notify Chang Yan, then the big responsibility of taking care of Xie Zhu would fall on her.
A crossbow arrow was shot from a tall building in the distance. The crossbow arrow accurately broke the rope tied to Xie Zhu on the city wall. Xie Zhu fell down and landed on Nan Yi's mule cart.
Nan Yi's heart skipped a beat and he rushed forward regardless.
Usha reacted quickly and led his men to rush down the city wall.
"Stop her!"
Nan Yi had seen the city defense map and knew the general guards and directions of the streets in the city, but at this critical moment, his mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything, so he drove based on his first sleep.
The experience of being chased all over the city by Xie Queshan's people during those two nights came in handy at this moment.
The maps you have seen are just abstract planes after all, and you will only know the road clearly if you walk it over and over again. Nan Yi drove the car around in the dark alley, shaking off the pursuers behind him.
But she could only hide and delay, not knowing where she should go.
——Hua Chao Pavilion? Chang Yan should be there. If you can't contact Xie Sui'an, maybe you can go find her.
Nan Yi changed direction and tried to go towards Huachao Pavilion. But she drove the mule cart, but the target was too big after all. Usha found that the opponent was very familiar with the terrain and defense, and it was difficult to contain it. After that, he ordered the archers to take position and ordered the first shot.
Arrows shot towards Nan Yi. She grabbed a few arrows at first sight, but she was not as lucky as any of them. Seeing a flying arrow about to hit Nan Yi's vest——
A flash of silver light flashed, and with a clang, the stray arrow was knocked to the ground. Nan Yi looked up in fear, it was Xie Sui'an who was here.
The masked Xie Sui'an stood in front of Nan Yi, with murderous intent rising all over her body. She raised her knife and neatly killed several soldiers who caught up first. In the familiar battlefield that required force, she showed her decisive and decisive side.
"Sister-in-law, abandon the car."
Nan Yi was still hesitant. After all, Xie Zhu was an adult man. How could he move him without a car?
She obviously underestimated Xie Sui'an's strength. Xie Sui'an had already picked up the unconscious Xie Zhu from the cart and carried him on his shoulders.
Nan Yi quickly went up to help, and the two of them carried Xie Zhu into a dark alley.
Before leaving, Xie Sui'an slapped the mule on the butt with his sword. The mule neighed and ran away in the opposite direction.
——
The back door of Hua Chao Pavilion was near the dark alley. The small door was ajar. There was no one in the backyard. The three of them entered Hua Chao Pavilion smoothly.
With a sigh of relief, Nan Yi realized that Xie Sui'an's right hand was full of blood.
"Xiao Liu, when were you injured?"
Xie Sui'an's face was a little pale, but he glanced at his right hand nonchalantly and said, "It's just a minor injury."
Just now, in order to leave Huang Yankun, she held the sword blade with her right hand, letting the huge pain help her resist the drug, and was able to knock Huang Yankun out and escape.
When she wanted to rush to the city gate, she found that Qi Ren was already chasing Nan Yi. She quickly caught up with him and luckily saved him.
After persisting to this point, Xie Sui'an was exhausted. Her figure swayed, but she used her last bit of strength to hold on.
"Sister-in-law, I will take Third Uncle to Chang Yan's place first. If it is not convenient for you to see her, just wait for me here. We will go back to Xuewu together later."
Xie Sui'an went up the stairs to the wing from the small door, while Nan Yi waited alone in the yard. Seeing that Qi Bing didn't chase after him, the stone hanging in her heart relaxed a little.
At first, she thought it was an impossible action, but she actually accomplished it. In the past, these were unbelievable things to her. She seems to be more powerful than she thought.
…There’s even an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
The sound of silk and bamboo could be heard in the distance from the main building at the front. Nan Yi stood on tiptoe and looked around. The lights were brightly lit there, and there seemed to be a big banquet, which was very lively.
I feel a little uneasy again... Is there any problem?
