When it was still dark, Wanning Mansion entered a state of martial law. The city gates were guarded by officials. The city was full of children from Helei Hall who were searching in groups. Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing were hiding in the car and hiding on the wall.
I had never thought of being in such a state of embarrassment before. Fortunately, several critical situations were resolved by Ning Xizui’s clever words. Ye Huawan and Fu Chuyi had to pretend to be crazy and act stupid to hide for Bai Qige and delay time. When the black people were quiet in the evening, a few
Everyone was exhausted and huddled in the carriage, too lazy to move.
The good news is not without. With the efforts of Boss Hai, the soldiers guarding the east gate of Wanning Prefecture were bribed and promised to secretly let Yi Chenjing and others leave before dawn. All they had to do was wait, wait until the night was quiet, and wait.
The time is ripe.
After Boss Hai told a few people the news, he discussed the details of leaving the city with Fu Chu alone. Bai Qige took the opportunity to pull Ye Huawan aside: "Ye Zi, do you know how much money Boss Hai spent on managing those people?"
"I don't know, but Wanning Mansion is a wealthy county. I heard that even the small soldiers here have a huge appetite. I guess... it won't be less than a hundred taels at least." Ye Huawan tilted her head and thought.
After thinking about it, he added, "Does Sister Bai want to return the favor in the future? In fact, there is no need at all. If Boss Hai cares about this little money, he will not agree to Aunt Qingxu's help. This is the loyalty that people in the world must have."
"Loyalty is loyalty, and there are two different things." Bai Qige shook her empty money bag and shook her head lightly, "It would be fine if Chen Jing and I were penniless forever, but in the future when we get back what we deserve, the debt we owe will
You have to pay it back - Xiao Zizi, although you are the owner of Yiye Mountain Villa, you have never handled the accounts and don't understand the difficulty of making a living. Naturally, you feel that it is natural to spend a lot of money out of loyalty. When you understand what boss Hai has to do in running Huaxiang Tower.
It’s not easy for you to understand what I mean.”
The current war in Zhongzhou is by no means a prosperous time. It is very difficult to maintain a business. Bai Qige does not know how to do business but can see that Boss Hai has gray hair on his temples. How can he feel at ease with his money? I won’t go into details, just these one hundred taels.
In today's Zhongzhou, it is enough to buy a small house. If it is given to a farmer, it will be a large amount of money that will not be spent in half a lifetime. For a stranger, this kind of kindness is too great and deep, and she cannot afford to default.
Gratitude must be repaid, this is her principle.
Ye Huawan saw that her eyes were firm and could not be refuted, so she had to find an opportunity to ask Boss Hai privately, but the answer she got surprised Bai Qige.
"Money for building relationships? Miss Bai, you really thanked the wrong person for this matter." Boss Hai smiled and pointed at the blue-eyed young man who was equipping horses not far away, with a clear sigh in his eyes, "It takes a lot to clear up connections."
I paid four hundred taels of silver, which was all taken by Boss Ning. He said that he was a life-and-death friend of Miss Bai, so he should pay for it. Miss Bai, I have been running Huaxiang Tower for nearly 20 years and have met countless people, like Boss Ning.
This is the first time I have seen a businessman who does his best for his friends without asking for anything in return, or even mentioning it. Just because of Boss Ning’s benevolence and sincerity, no matter what, I have to send you away from Wan Ning Mansion safely.
.”
In the life-and-death relationship, gold and stone cannot be exchanged, and Ning Xi is the only one who can live such a heroic and generous life. Bai Qige's heart felt warm, and a warm smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.
"What are you laughing at...what's so funny about him?" Finding Bai Qige's eyes falling on Ning Xizui, Yi Chenjing frowned as she walked over and stood in front of Bai Qige.
"I'm laughing at you for your unique taste and your preference for sweet and sour cuisine." Bai Qige pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Yi Chenjing, "Okay, I won't make trouble with you. Have you packed everything?"
Yi Chenjing turned sideways and raised his chin in the direction of the carriage: "The dry food and clothes that should be prepared are all placed in the carriage, and the horses have been changed. We will just wait until later to sneak out of the city."
The waiting was the most difficult. The few people hid in the small carriage and were silent. No one was sleepy at all. Boss Hai went back and forth between the carriage and the East City Gate several times, and finally brought good news at Yinshi: it was time to leave the city.
The carriage quietly drove towards the east gate of Wanning Prefecture. The guarding soldiers immediately felt relieved when they saw Boss Hai leading the way. They moved the fence silently and watched with Boss Hai as the carriage carrying Yi Chenjing and others left.
After leaving the city gate, Ye Huawan felt much better. With a smile on her childish face, she leaned against Bai Qige and closed her eyes. After a while, she fell asleep. Fu Chu gently took the little girl's head and pillowed it on his lap.
He also closed his eyes and took a nap. The driver was still Ning Xizui, and Feng Wujiang drove the truck with Magistrate Longhuai hidden in it and followed him not far or close, in case the enemy caught up behind him, and inside the car, there was another person.
The two people who barely survived the crisis cuddled together, drawing strength from each other's body temperature and breath to endure.
The night was deep, the moonlight was lonely, and the hoofbeats of horses were heard in the air on the deserted post road. It was unclear whether the sound of hoofs startled Jingye, or whether the sound of hoofs was drowned out by Jingye.
After leaving Wanning Mansion and leaving the Heleitang forces, is it temporarily safe? The road ahead may still be bumpy and dangerous, but it is peaceful and peaceful after all. Although the car is cooling down, it does not prevent Bai Qige from having a good sleep peacefully.
On Yi Chenjing's shoulder, sleepiness came over him, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
I don’t know how long the carriage lasted, but the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly. The unsuspecting Bai Qige was almost thrown out of the carriage amid the roar of the horse. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yi Chenjing and Fu Chu, and Ye Huawan also had the same surprised expression.
He hurriedly opened the car door and looked forward, his breathing stopped.
Ten feet away, dozens of people were holding torches, and swords shot out from the dense forest beside the road. The man in the lead had sinister eyes, crossed his arms, raised his head and sneered, and looked at Bai Qige like a knife.
Bai Qige didn't know that person, but Ning Xizui slapped her forehead, took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "What should we do, Miss Bai? We have been running desperately for a long time, but we are still under their control!" Let go of the reins and jump out of the carriage.
, the green eyes became more and more blurred and charming under the moonlight, Ning Xizui smiled calmly, without any fear when facing the people who intercepted him on the way: "Hall Master Qiao is so elegant, he is still wandering out so late, he just wants to count the number of people in the sky.
How many moons are there?”
Hall Master Qiao? Qiao Zhaohai? Bai Qige took a breath and stood frozen as she stepped out of the carriage.
Why is Qiao Zhaohai here? Shouldn't he be angrily looking for someone in the city of Wanning Prefecture? Did the news of their absconding at night leak out? Countless questions suddenly came to mind, Bai Qige forced herself to calm down, her hands
His fists clenched involuntarily.
What's the point of further investigating the cause? Now, we are face to face with the enemy.
The proud Qiao Zhaohai laughed wildly, and with laughter, more than ten of his men surrounded the carriage.
"Come out, Seventh Prince, you should see my face clearly before you die, lest you be reincarnated and find no one to take revenge on." Qiao Zhaohai put down his arms and put his hands behind his back, and stepped forward steadily, the distance between him and the carriage was even closer.
Much closer.
Behind the car door, he stretched out a strong hand and put it on Bai Qige's waist. Yi Chenjing stepped out of the car and blocked the woman with clenched fists behind her. She stood tall and proud with an expressionless face, her demeanor unchanged.
He is born with pride, and he will never bend his knees even in the face of life and death. Even if he is trapped in a tight siege, he will not lose any of his graceful posture. He will give his enemies an indifferent and cold look, and leave his solid and safe back to the one he loves. Bai Qige did not show any
He looked frightened, but took a step forward to stand side by side with Yi Chenjing.
They are all people who have stepped into the gate of hell. Their obsession with life and their fearlessness in fighting have already shattered the fear in their hearts. So what if they are besieged by dozens of people? As long as they are still alive and standing, hope will remain in their hearts.
"What kind of smart person am I, the Seventh Prince? It turns out that I am nothing more than that." Qiao Zhaohai didn't seem to intend to make a quick decision and paced slowly as if to show off, "I'm curious why I'm here? In fact, when I was searching Huaxiang Tower during the day, I
I felt something was wrong. There was only one person in the room but there were several teacups. It was obvious that someone was hiding it. If I wanted to, I could catch you and kill you right then and there, but in this way I would have to get rid of everyone present.
People - I have no choice but to kill people and silence them. I can't stand the fiery temper of that girl in Lingxi, so why not find a place where no one is around to deal with it, so that no one knows about it, and everything is pure."
While talking, Ye Huawan and Fu Chu also stepped out of the carriage. Looking at Qiao Zhaohai's cunning face, Ye Huawan stamped her feet angrily: "Qiao Zhaohai, who do you think you are? If Aunt Qingxu finds out, you dare to attack us.
, believe it or not, Aunt Qingxu defeated your Heleitang?!"
"She has the strength, I believe it, but... do you think you have a chance to tell her that I was the one who did it?" He looked at Ye Huawan mockingly, and Qiao Zhaohai's eyes showed a trace of greed, "I've heard about Yiye Villa.
Now that the yellow-haired girl is in charge, I still want to go and investigate if I have the opportunity. If I can bring the power of Xi Chu into my pocket, am I still afraid of Qiao Qingxu?"
Qiao Zhaohai actually had the ambition to annex Yiye Villa, which was unexpected by everyone. Ye Huawan was speechless in shock, while Fu Chu behind him had a solemn look on his face.
According to the current situation, the possibility of their escape is almost non-existent.
"The foster father seems to be trapped too..." After not seeing Feng Wujiang's shadow for a long time, Ning Xizui stood up on tiptoes and looked back. She could only hear the faint sounds of fighting, but could not see anything else. She folded her fan and opened it again.
Ning Xizui, who had always been calm and free-spirited, seemed to be in trouble: "We are attacked from both sides, and we are weak. What should we do now?"
There are only two choices when facing the enemy, either kneel down and beg for mercy, or fight to the death.
Bright eyes narrowed slightly, Bai Qige shook her sleeves, and the dagger in her sleeves fell into her palm. There was a strange smile on her face that Ye Huawan couldn't understand, but Yi Chenjing understood what this smile that was neither sad nor happy meant, and she chinned slightly
First, the long sword in his hand was drawn out of its sheath.
"I thought you liked listening to his nonsense, yet you haven't taken action for so long."
"I just give you time to prepare, so you don't use this as an excuse to hold me back."
The conversation was joking and easy, and the people standing side by side, dragon and phoenix, each held their swords and pointed at the ground, their eyes firm and fearless, just like everyone else.
This is the answer to Ning Xizui’s question.
"Sister Bai, you..." Before Ye Hua finished her words, his warm palm gently covered her eyes, trying to isolate the coming bloody fight and the unknown outcome. There was that time when Bai Qige was called a monster.
After that, everyone tried their best to prevent Ye Huawan from seeing the killing scene again, and she did not refuse this kind of protection, which was tantamount to hiding her ears and stealing the bell.
But this time, she didn't want to escape anymore.
Bing Liang pushed the palm away from his eyes with slightly trembling hands. The young owner of Yiye Villa bit his lips and turned around to throw himself into Fu Chu's arms.
"Senior brother, give me any weapon you want. I, I also want to fight. I want to protect Sister Bai and Brother Chen!"
