The attackers were fierce, but Xiao Yan was led by experts.
After Di Tao "forcibly" tied people onto his boat, he saw Xiao Yan and his party killing several people, and there were more corpses on the ground. The attackers may have found that they were unable to do anything, and they were full of ferocity and left evil words in embarrassment. After leaving, the Di family guards who were covered in blood all looked happy.
Before Di Tao had time to be happy, a sharp sword was pointed directly at his throat.
"Bold..."
Uh-huh!
Xiao Yan struck out with just one sword, and as soon as he scolded the guard, his throat was almost cut off. Half of his ears were chopped off when he backed away in fear.
Di Tao's expression changed slightly: "Brother He..."
"Well!"
He groaned, but the sword stabbed directly into his shoulder blade. The pain made Di Tao's face break out in cold sweat, and both Mrs. Di and her daughter screamed in shock.
Di Fangyun said anxiously: "Brother He, my brother has no other intentions. He just had to borrow your help because he had no choice. The people in Beiling are vicious and will chase us all the way. If we are captured by them, they will They will definitely use us to threaten my father and the Zhen'an Army..."
Xiao Yan said coldly: "If you are afraid of being captured by Beiling, you can't escape and commit suicide. Using your identity to drag innocent people into the whirlpool, is this the upbringing of your Di family?"
"The night before yesterday, I rescued you, mother and son, and I knew you were in trouble. Seeing that all of you guards were from the military, I made an exception to help you leave Anxi. But instead of being grateful, you forcibly exposed me to Beiling. In front of the spies, do you really think that I dare not kill you?!"
"Brother He!"
When Di Tao saw Xiao Yan getting angry, his phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent, he felt a thump in his heart and said hurriedly: "Brother He, calm down and listen to my explanation first."
Xiao Yan held his sword coldly.
Di Tao said anxiously: "I know what I just did was not a gentleman. If I were alone, even if I fought to the death with those people in Beiling, I would never harm innocent people. But my mother and sister are traveling with me." , I really can’t watch them fall into the hands of those in Beiling.”
"Brother He saved our lives, mother and son, and escorted us all the way out of Anxi. I would never do such an ungrateful act unless I had to. I know Brother He is angry. If you want to blame this matter, I am the only one to blame. I I am willing to let Brother He handle it."
He knelt on the ground with a bang, raised his head and said in a deep voice:
"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please. I just ask Brother He to send my mother and sister back to the northwest safely for the sake of our Di family guarding the border for many years and protecting the people of Wei Dynasty."
Di Tao is gambling.
I bet Xiao Yan could escort them so far just because he saw the background of the guards around him. Maybe he would be merciful for the sake of the Di family guarding the border.
And he also discovered that although Xiao Yan seemed indifferent, his heart was not as cold as stone. He protected them for two days even though he knew they were trouble, saved their lives several times, and did not directly kill him even though he had just plotted against them.
Di Fangyun looked at the blood flowing heavily on Di Tao's shoulder, her face was pale and weeping: "Brother He, please spare my brother, I, we don't need your protection anymore, we will go back to the northwest by ourselves..."
Mrs. Di was also in tears and extremely embarrassed.
Xiao Yan looked at the people for a long time, then suddenly twitched his hand and took back the sword: "My wife is soft-hearted and often says that the Zhen'an Army protects the country. She likes people who value friendship. This time, for the sake of your eagerness to save people, Forget it, but next time, I will take your life!"
Di Tao's shoulders were bleeding, and he fell to the ground exhausted, but his heart relaxed.
His bet turned out to be right.
Di Tao didn't quite believe Xiao Yan's words about his wife being soft-hearted. In his opinion, this was just an excuse made by "He Yan". This person was indeed hard-spoken and soft-hearted.
Ditao reached out and covered his shoulders: "Thank you, Brother He."
Xiao Yanleng snorted, and the blood on the sword bounced off instantly with a shake in his hand. He turned around and said a few words to the "injured" guards beside him, and then someone took the frightened horses and the intact ones over there. The carriage pulled up.
After holding his sword and getting on his horse, he pulled the reins and looked at the Di family members who were still staying where they were.
"Why don't you leave and wait for those people from Beiling to come again?"
Everyone in the Di family was stunned for a moment, and then their faces were full of surprise. Di Tao even said anxiously: "What are you still waiting for? Let's go with Brother He!"
Di Tao was injured and could not ride a horse, and Mrs. Di and the others were women. After Xiao Yan gave up the accompanying carriage to the three of them, he rode away with everyone.
Their people led the way, and the few remaining guards of the Di family were all injured, and they followed behind and surrounded the carriage.
Ditao looked relaxed and leaned against the wall of the carriage with a pale face.
Mrs. Di's eyes were red as she applied the medicine for him: "That He Yan is too unkind. You are already seriously injured, and he still hurts you like this..."
"Mother." Di Tao interrupted Mrs. Di: "I was at fault in the first place. Brother He has shown mercy. Otherwise, if he really wanted to do anything to me with his skills, I would have been dead long ago."
Seeing what Mrs. Di wanted to say, he lowered his voice: "Brother He and we are not related to each other, and he has no obligation to protect us. Besides, he may have noticed that we have different identities before, but he protected us without asking. I killed Anxi because I calculated against him, so I don’t blame him for hurting me."
Di Fangyun had cried before, and her eyes were red: "Brother is right. If it weren't for Brother He, we would have died long ago. Mother shouldn't blame Brother He."
When Mrs. Di saw her children saying this, she could only purse her lips and said: "I don't blame him, I'm just worried about your injury..."
"My injury is fine. The medicine Brother He gave me is very good. It will heal as long as it takes some time. Moreover, Brother He looks indifferent, but he is actually soft-hearted. He left Li Yong and the others around the carriage. Since we are Peace of mind also protects us.”
These people were injured and disabled. If they were afraid of the enemy, it would be a dead end. He Yan seemed to have not said a word, but he was taking care of them everywhere.
Ditao was extremely grateful to him, and seeing that he cared about them regardless of past grudges, he felt even more guilty.
"When we return to the northwest, we must thank Brother He profusely, and mother must not say what I just said again, so as not to chill Brother He's heart."
Mrs. Di heard this and said, "I understand."
They still had to rely on He Yan to escort them back to the northwest, so naturally they couldn't offend him.
Mrs. Di applied medicine to Di Tao. Di Fangyun leaned against the window of the carriage, quietly reached out to lift the curtain and looked forward. She saw a cold figure riding a horse diagonally in front of her, holding the reins.
She had never seen such a handsome man, with strong skills and a majestic figure. He looked like a god descending to earth when killing enemies.
only……
He actually got a wife.
Di Fangyun couldn't help holding the curtain in his hand, lost in thought. Why did he get a wife?
Xiao Yan, who was extremely grateful to Di Tao, was riding on his horse. Tu Bai, who had followed him out of the capital, rode up to Xiao Yan's side. He seemed to notice that someone was looking at him. He suddenly looked back and saw the curtain on the carriage suddenly lowered. The Di family girl's face flashed across her face.
