The leader of the Qibing army looked back with some suspicion, and only saw the back of Xie Queshan holding the beauty in his arms and leaving. He was so calm and clear that he really couldn't see any flaws, so he had to search elsewhere.
Passing by the pond, Xie Queshan calmly threw the dart he pulled out into the water - this may become a key piece of evidence to hide the prisoner. It must be disposed of outside and must not be brought back to the room.
But even Xie Queshan didn't notice that at the corner of the corridor not far away, someone covered his mouth in surprise and hid away.
It was Lu Jinxiu who heard the commotion and came out to check the situation. She stood diagonally in front of Xie Queshan and seemed to see that the person he was holding in his arms seemed to be Nan Yi - were they "having a romantic affair under the moon"?
Lu Jinxiu's hands were shaking when she saw this scene. The female envoy following behind her couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Lu, what did you see?"
"It's nothing... go back, go back quickly..." Lu Jinxiu couldn't believe it and forced herself to forget the scene she just saw. She turned around in despair and returned to her room without stopping.

Xie Queshan returned to Jingfengju with Nan Yi in his arms. He Ping was only surprised for a moment, and quickly cooperated to find the medicine box in the drawer and put it on the table.
"He Ping, go and guard outside."
He Ping said "Hey", turned around and went out, closing the door behind him. The wind and snow were isolated, and the quiet and warmth returned to the house.
Xie Queshan laid Nan Yi flat on the couch and asked, "Is Third Uncle safe?"
Nan Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then added: "There was an accident today. Miss Xie Liu changed the rescue plan temporarily. I didn't know about it in advance... and it was the third uncle that Miss Xie Liu settled. I I don’t know where the others are.”
At the end, Nan Yi felt guilty and could only change the subject: "But, why did you save me?"
Xie Queshan looked at Nan Yi calmly and seriously: "Thank you for saving my family."
Nan Yi's mind exploded with a buzzing sound. This thank you overturned her understanding of Xie Queshan. She asked in surprise: "So you and Qi Ren are not in the same group?"
"Although I work for Qi people, I don't want my family to be in danger."
Nan Yi was silent. The implication was that he was still from Qi Ren.
"Then you drove me all over the city those nights... was that intentional?"
"Familiarity with the terrain is a useful skill at any time."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" Nan Yi was a little annoyed.
"The desire to survive is the best motivation."
Nan Yi was speechless. He was a ruthless teacher, but he had to admit that his method was very effective.
Xie Queshan picked up a pair of scissors and prepared to cut off the clothes of Nan Yi's injured area so that he could bandage her wound.
Nan Yi quickly stopped him: "Don't cut it! This dress is new. I haven't worn it a few times. I washed and mended it and it's still wearable. If you cut it, you can't mend it."
Xie Queshan was stunned for a moment and took back the scissors.
"Then take off your robe."
Cutting open the skirt was actually the easiest way. Taking off the robe would inevitably involve injuries, but Nan Yi endured the pain and took off the robe little by little in order to keep the dress. After finally taking off my clothes, I was sweating profusely.
Xie Queshan naturally reached out and took her robe, and she handed it over without thinking too much. But she didn't expect that Xie Queshan would throw her clothes into the brazier in the next second.
Nan Yi's eyes widened and she anxiously wanted to rush over to save him. The wound on her shoulder was so painful that she had to stop her movements. She glared at Xie Queshan.
"what are you doing?"
"This clothes is full of bloodstains. You took it out to wash and mend it. Are you afraid that others won't see that there is something wrong with you?"
Nan Yi felt guilty. She was sometimes limited to the structure of a commoner, and was inevitably short-sighted. She always thought she could "secretly" accomplish something, even if it was a bit risky.
Nan Yi muttered: "Then you should have told me just now, so that I could save the effort of taking off my clothes - aren't you kidding me?"
"If it doesn't hurt, you won't learn a lesson. Next time you dare to take risks just to take advantage."
Nan Yi couldn't say anything to Xie Queshan, so she could only keep her mouth shut.
Xie Queshan took out the wine from the medicine box and poured it on the gauze. Just as he raised his hand to debridement Nan Yi, he paused again, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, balled it up, and handed it to Nan Yi's mouth.
He said concisely and concisely: "It will hurt a lot, bite it and don't make any sound."
Nan Yi opened her mouth obediently and bit her handkerchief.
When the wine-soaked gauze touched the wound, a piercing pain immediately spread throughout his body. Nan Yi subconsciously grabbed the thing closest to him.
Xie Queshan lowered his eyes and grabbed his sleeve with his pale and thin hand.
She was very obedient and didn't dare to make a sound at all. There was a broken and vague moan in her throat, and her chest rose and fell unconsciously.
She was not wearing a robe, only a thin inner garment, with her shoulders half exposed. The dancing shadow of the candle danced back and forth on her snow-like skin, swaying on the heart like a tickle.
In an instant, for some reason, the sound of the candlelight and the crackling of silver charcoal in the room became particularly clear, and the sounds and colors in front of him seemed to be amplified.
Xie Queshan was concentrating on treating her wounds, but he felt the blood surge in his chest for no reason. He took a deep breath and moved his hands faster.
After finally treating her wound, Xie Queshan breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly he looked up and saw her eyes full of tears.
He took off the square handkerchief from her mouth: "Don't cry."
She endured it very hard, but her tears still fell, and she muttered: "It's so cruel."
Xie Queshan pretended not to see it and lowered his head to pack the medicine box.
"You sleep here first tonight."
"Can't I go back to Zheyue Pavilion?"
"Tonight you and I appeared in the garden. Although it was hidden at the time, it was impossible not to arouse suspicion. Now there are many eyes watching outside Jingfengju. Once you go out, you will be in danger."
Nan Yi accepted it immediately: "Anyway, it is definitely the safest to be by your side - should I sleep on the bed or the couch?"
Xie Queshan paused. She was too magnanimous, which made him feel inexplicably dirty. He was even a little annoyed. Didn't she have the defense between men and women in her heart?
Nan Yi didn't know what was going on in his heart at the moment, and she was just trying to act as if nothing had happened. No matter how heartless she is, she also knows what it means to be alone in the same room with a man and a woman.
Although this was a helpless move, and although Xie Queshan was the big devil she was afraid of, she could always see that he had a mysterious and fragile side. In any case, he did give herself many chances to live.
She missed him, especially tonight.
Xie Queshan rolled his eyes at Nan Yi and said, "You have to do a complete set when you are acting. I brought a woman back to my room, but let her sleep on the couch. If someone sees her, what will others think?"
"Okay, then I'll thank you Third Young Master tonight."
Nan Yi climbed down from the bed quickly and went to the bedroom behind the screen.
The two of them have their own hidden agendas, but they try their best to maintain a distance between them.
Walking to the screen, Nan Yi suddenly turned around, put away the joking expression on his face, and showed a bit of seriousness.
"I found out tonight that you are not a bad guy who does all kinds of evil."
"You're not a heartless little bastard."
Nan Yi couldn't help laughing, but Xie Queshan's words made her smile freeze on her face.
"After this incident, I want you to find out the hiding place of King Ling'an from Xie Sui'an. If there is another lie next time... I will make you unable to laugh."
The moonlight tonight seemed to be just an illusion. They reconciled briefly and quickly returned to their respective positions.
