The other person crossed his arms and faced Xiao Chengyi.
Xiao Chengyi narrowed his eyes, turned over and dismounted, and said in a cold voice: "I brought what you want, and let her go."
He took out a bottle of ointment from his pocket.
The man in black saw the thing in his hand and said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao is indeed a man who keeps his promise. Throw the ointment over and I will let County Master Huihe go. Otherwise, I will let her body be wiped out."
Xiao Chengyi's face darkened. He looked at the medicine in his hand, then stretched out his hand and threw the ointment to the man in black.
The man in black took the ointment and laughed loudly: "Mr. Xiao is really happy, I will return it to you, County Master Huihe." After saying that, he opened the curtain and pulled out the person inside, and then pushed it to Xiao Chengyi.
Xiao Chengyi subconsciously took the person he pushed over and saw that she was tied up with something in her mouth. However, this person was not Mu Yun'an but Shen Wanyue.
He was shocked: "Why is it you? Where is Yan Yan?"
Shen Wanyue kept shaking her head, unable to make any sound. Xiao Chengyi hurriedly cut the rope around her body and took out the things in her mouth.
"Cousin Yi."
Shen Wanyue cried and hugged Xiao Chengyi, her whole body trembling.
Xiao Chengyi held her shoulders and asked, "Where is Yan Yan?"
Shen Wanyue shook her head and looked at him with blurred eyes: "I don't know. I was brought here when I woke up. As for where my cousin is, I don't know either."
As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't know what she saw and suddenly exclaimed: "Be careful." As she said that, she pushed Xiao Chengyi away, and heard a whooshing sound as a crossbow arrow flew over, hitting Shen Wanyue's shoulder blade.
Xiao Chengyi was startled. He took out a hidden weapon and hit the person who was sneaking up from behind. He saw an assassin falling from a tree not far away.
At this time, the guards of the General's Mansion also swarmed up and surrounded the remaining two assassins.
Xiao Chengyi hugged the injured Shen Wanyue and saw the painful expression on her face. She said pitifully and tremblingly: "Cousin Yi, I'm in so much pain."
"It's okay, I won't let anything happen to you."
Xiao Chengyi comforted her softly, then picked her up and walked down the mountain quickly.
Shen Wanyue felt the warmth in his arms, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and fell asleep peacefully in his arms.
...
Mu Yun'an woke up in a daze. She was put in a sack. She could faintly hear someone talking: "It's a pity to kill such a beautiful girl like this."
"That's right, we have collected money anyway. Instead of killing people, we might as well make another profit. What do you think, brother?"
"Then sell her to Jingyue Building. I think she will get a good price."
The two of them reached a consensus after some discussion.
When Mu Yunan heard their conversation, she was startled. She had heard a little bit about Jingyue Building. It was the largest Qinglou in Hongfen Street.
If she was sold there, her reputation would be ruined.
Mu Yun'an subconsciously thought of Xiao Chengyi, so she struggled to shake the bell on her wrist. In the end, she couldn't resist the dizziness and fainted again.
When she woke up again, it was already dusk outside. She was lying on the bed feeling weak, and the laughter of men and women could be heard outside, which was a bit unpleasant.
