The man held Xie Wanzhou in one hand and held a long knife in the other, exploring the way in the forest.
There are trees everywhere in the forest, and they look the same everywhere. In order to chase people, he didn't remember the way he came, and now he can only rely on groping.
"Wanzhou! Thank you Wanzhou!"
The sound of horse hooves could be heard not far away, mixed with the clear voice of young man Lang.
Hearing the noise, the man's face turned cold, and he raised his hand and placed the long knife across Xie Wanzhou's neck.
When Lian Yan arrived with his sword in hand, he happened to take in this scene.
"Don't come here!" the man roared, and the long knife was close to the tender flesh of Xie Wanzhou's neck, "If you come here again, I will kill her!"
"Don't be impulsive!" Lian Yan turned over and dismounted, the corners of his mouth twitched upward, the hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and the veins popped out, "As long as you don't hurt anyone, everything can be discussed."
Xie Wanzhou looked at the young man opposite, as if a glimmer of water passed through his eyes.
The man sneered, and the hand holding the knife was slightly stronger, "Discuss? Okay, I will discuss it with you!"
"Sure!" Lian Yan calmed the man's emotions and said in a deep voice, "Whatever conditions you have, just ask, I will definitely fulfill them."
The man sneered and raised his voice, "Prepare some fast horses for me and my brothers. When we get out of here, we will naturally let her go."
Lian Yan had a smile on his face, and the hand holding the sword was a little numb, "This... seems to be a bit difficult."
Hearing this, the man raised his knife and was about to cut Xie Wanzhou's neck.
"Wait a minute!" Lian Yan gasped, staring at the blade, not daring to move. "Brother, it's not that I don't want to meet your conditions."
Lian Yan looked sideways at Xie Wanzhou and whispered, "You don't know something. This girl is just a little concubine from a wealthy family and is not favored. Even if you chop her into pieces and throw her on the mountain to feed to wild wolves, , no one in her family will shed a tear for her."
"You tied her up, but it was just a waste of time." Lian Yan raised his chin towards Xie Wanzhou and said in a deep voice, "Look, she doesn't have a hairpin on her head. If she is really a direct relative of a wealthy family, How can my daughter be so shabby?"
When the man heard this, his eyes fell on the top of Xie Wanzhou's head. His hair was bald and he was actually not wearing any accessories.
"Okay, brother," Lian Yan smiled gently and whispered, "I'll trade with her, okay?"
"Do you know the Lian family, which is known as the highest sect?" Seeing blood oozing from Xie Wanzhou's neck, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Lian Yan's back, and he suppressed his anger and said, "I am the legitimate son of the Lian family. If I am your bargaining chip, I will definitely ensure that you leave safely."
The man looked at him with suspicion and looked him up and down. Seeing that he was dressed luxuriously, he couldn't help but have some confidence in his identity, "Isn't this your trap?"
Hearing this, Lian Yan slowly let go of the hand holding the sword, and the sword fell to the ground, hitting his feet.
Lian Yan threw away the sword, looked at the man with raised eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "How is it? Is it sincere?"
"Lian Yan!" Xie Wanzhou shouted at the top of his lungs with tears in his eyes, "Are you crazy!"
"I'll replace her." Lian Yan heard her choked voice and raised his eyes to look at the man, with murderous intent hidden in his eyes, "It will be beneficial to you without any harm."
The man looked at Lian Yan, then at Xie Wanzhou, with a sarcastic look on his face, "Good boy, since you like this bitch, I will give you a chance to be a hero and save the beauty."
Hearing the word "cheap hoof", Lian Yan clenched his back molars and suppressed his murderous intention.
The man sneered, tapped the ground with his toes, and said loudly, "Come over here, and I will let her go."
Lian Yan didn't dare to disobey and walked in the direction of the man.
Xie Wanzhou bit her lower lip, leaving half a circle of tooth marks.
The man looked at Lian Yan and sneered, "It's really weird that you can do this for a woman!"
Seeing that the man's attention was not on her, Xie Wanzhou lowered his head, then used all his strength to knock the back of his head hard.
The man's nose hurt and he subconsciously let go of his hand.
"Lian Yan!" Xie Wanzhou got the chance and ran towards the young man opposite. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she threw herself into the young man's warm arms.
Lian Yan held Xie Wanzhou's shoulder with one hand, took out a short dagger from his arms, pressed it on Xie Wanzhou's head, pointed the tip of the knife directly at the man, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me the purpose of your trip, I will I can spare your life."
Xie Wanzhou hugged his lean waist and whispered, "He was sent to kill my mother. I wanted to eavesdrop on their plan, but I was plotted and fell into the same situation as before."
"Assassinate Mrs. Yong Chenghou?" Lian Yan raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly, "If you reveal the mastermind behind this, I will let you leave safely."
The man covered his sore nose and spat when he heard the words, "Don't bluff me! How could you let me go? Kill me or behead me, it's up to you!"
Lian Yan slowly let go of his hand and said in a deep voice, "Wan Zhou, go stand next to the horse, close your eyes and cover your ears."
Xie Wanzhou was also well-behaved. He actually went to the horse and did not forget to pick up the sword that Lian Yan had thrown away.
Lian Yan flipped the dagger up and down, walked slowly to the man, and lightly hooked his lips, "Brother, I gave you a chance, but you are really useless."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Yan suddenly raised his knee and hit the man's lifeline.
The man's eyes widened and he fell to the ground. Severe pain surged through his body, causing him to scream uncontrollably and his body arched into a shrimp shape.
Lian Yan had a slight smile on his lips and a gentle tone. He raised his foot and stepped on the place covered by the man's hand. He rubbed his toes vigorously and asked in a deep voice, "Who did you just... call you a cheap hoof?"
Under the severe pain, the man completely fainted and fell unconscious.
Lian Yan lowered his eyes to look at him and said two words lightly, "Boring."
After saying this, Lian Yan changed his expression, turned around and hurried to Xie Wanzhou, looked down at her with an anxious expression, "Is your neck bleeding? Let me take a look!"
"It's just a bump," Xie Wanzhou raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes sparkling and the tips of her ears flushed, and she whispered, "It doesn't matter."
"Why doesn't it matter?" Lian Yan was almost dying of anxiety. He grabbed Xie Wanzhou's thin wrist and frowned, "I have a good golden medicine over there. Come back with me quickly."
Xie Wanzhou wanted to break away, but the words of those noble ladies suddenly rang in his mind. His heart trembled slightly. He lowered his eyes and looked at the hands on his wrists, but finally did not speak again.
Unexpectedly, when they reached the foot of the mountain, Lian Yan let go of his hand first.
Xie Wanzhou's eyebrows moved and she looked at him in surprise.
Lian Yan touched the bell behind his head and grinned, "I behave rudely and being so close to you will affect your reputation. It will be bad if others see me."
Xie Wanzhou's long eyelashes trembled slightly and she whispered, "Young Master Lian has thought carefully."
Lian Yan lowered his head and stared at her gentle little face, his eyes burning, and a tingling feeling filled his heart.
I can't help but think more about you.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to say this to those little deer eyes.
