The light and shadow fell on the leaping carp platform, and his nose was full of blood. The person in front of him was clearly standing with his backlight, and the outline of his face was dim and unclear, but Tang Ning still recognized him at a glance.
"Brother..."
The mist in her eyes fell unexpectedly, blurring her vision and disturbing Xiao Yan's heart.
He kicked away the person who tried to get closer, and the person's neck was chopped off. Xiao Yan looked down at Tang Ning's pale face with tears, and could vaguely see the blood on her clothes. He couldn't help but panic.
"Tang Ning!"
Xiao Yan picked up Xue Ru and threw it to Di Tao, who was standing with a spear. Then he quickly squatted down and took Tang Ning on the ground into his arms, with anxiety on his face.
"What's wrong? Where's the injury? Show me..."
He lowered his head to check Tang Ning's injuries, but unexpectedly she hugged his neck.
Delicacy and softness enveloped his heart, and Tang Ning buried her head on his shoulder and cried: "Why did you come back..."
"I thought...I thought I wouldn't be able to see you..."
The little girl is strong. Even if she sees blood everywhere and is killed, she will still be able to calmly analyze the situation and consider her retreat.
But at this moment, leaning against Xiao Yan, she felt a sudden surge of grievance. She hugged Xiao Yan tightly, and her tears fell in large drops, soaking his neck in just a moment.
Xiao Yan felt his heart tightening, and he couldn't help but tighten his arms around her.
The scene just now also frightened him.
Just a little, just a little, he almost didn't have time to save her...
If he hadn't realized something was wrong after entering the city and entered the mansion through a secret passage, or if he hadn't been uneasy and led Di Tao to gallop to Yueli Terrace, his little girl would have died here.
Xiao Yan's eyes were red, and his heart tightened as he hugged Tang Ning: "I'm sorry, I came back late..."
The person on the neck was stunned for a moment, and cried harder in the next moment.
The suppressed cries accompanied by burning tears made Xiao Yan unable to help but feel distressed.
Next to him, Di Tao helplessly supported Xue Ru, who had just bumped into his arms. Looking at the little girl's pale but beautiful face, his ears turned red.
"Lord Lord!"
"Lord Lord!"
Yue Jian and Tian Qing were full of surprise when they rushed in and saw Xiao Yan. People came in one after another from Yueli Terrace. Jin Yun, who was supposed to be in Nandi, appeared next to Xiao Yan with his people.
"Lord Governor, there is chaos in the capital. Someone set fires everywhere to contain the people patrolling the capital, and deliberately lured them towards Jiuyun Lane."
"Marquis Wenxin and Uncle Luyang have arrived outside the mansion. They noticed a fight here and brought someone in..."
Yue Fengcheng and the people he brought into the mansion were just "vanguards". They seemed to be trying to force their way into Heqiao Hall, but in fact they were just paving the way for Uncle Luyang behind him.
Uncle Luyang's wife was the married daughter of the Lu family. Like Marquis Wenxin, he was in charge of half of the patrol camp's military power, and he was the most important factor in exposing Xiao Yan's departure from the capital and putting him to death tonight.
Tang Ning quickly raised his head when he heard this: "Ah, brother..."
She cried so much that her throat was a little lumpy, and she said urgently: "It's a member of the Lu family, Yue, Yue Fengcheng led the people of the Lu family in..."
"I know."
Xiao Yan quickly patted Tang Ning's back to let her breathe, then raised his head and said to Jin Yunhan: "There is no need to stop Uncle Luyang and the others, capture those who trespass into the Hexi Hall outside, and kill those who dare to resist. "
"Except for Yue Fengcheng, I don't care whether anyone else lives or dies!"
"yes!"
Tang Ning stopped crying: "Brother, Yue Fengcheng is His Majesty..."
Is it okay to move him?
Xiao Yan understood what Tang Ning meant and whispered, "It's okay."
A ruthless look flashed across his eyes. He had kept Yue Fengcheng's "eyes" before, hoping to reassure Emperor An and to use him to "pacify" Emperor An.
But he forgot that if Yue Fengcheng dared to betray Emperor An and defect to Emperor An, he could naturally betray Emperor An and defect to someone else. Lu Chongyuan was the most attuned to people's hearts, and he could make Yue Fengcheng take risks by promising benefits.
Xiao Yan frowned fiercely, and when he put his hand under Tang Ning's eyes and caressed the end of her eyes which were red from crying, his movements were extremely gentle.
"I have a sense of discretion regarding Yue Fengcheng. If he dares to hurt you, he will have to pay with his life."
No matter who he is.
Xiao Yan lowered his head and kissed her eyes. After pulling Tang Ning to her feet, he entwined his fingers with hers.
"Don't be afraid, let me vent your anger for you."
All of Tang Ning's panic dissipated in the intertwined hands. Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to take her out, she took Xiao Yan's hand and stopped.
When she saw him looking back, Tang Ning turned around and stretched out her hand towards Xue Ru. When Xue Ru approached hesitantly, Tang Ning took her cold hand, then turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Brother, let's go."
Xiao Yan glanced at Xue Ru before turning around and walking out.
The three of them left the Yueli Terrace one after another. Di Tao stood by the lake and blew in the cool night breeze. Looking at Xiao Yan who had completely ignored him from beginning to end, he held his own spear and opened his mouth.
Don't they feel they have forgotten something?
…
The people Jinyun brought were all the elite secret guards he had brought with him when he went south, and with the people Xiao Yan brought back from the northwest, the originally one-sided fighting outside Hexi Hall suddenly turned upside down.
When the screams spread, the sounds of fighting outside gradually became less frequent. When Yue Fengcheng realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, it was already too late. Everyone around him was killed.
Yue Fengcheng was kicked on the leg and wrist by Jinyun. When he knelt on the ground with a "bang", he looked up and saw someone walking out of the Crane Hall.
"Governor...Governor..."
Yue Fengcheng's face turned pale, and he widened his eyes to see if the person he saw was fake.
But after looking back and forth for a few times, his entire face turned pale.
Impossible, impossible.
Why is Xiao Yan in the house?
Lu Chongyuan clearly told him that Xiao Yan had already left Beijing. Just now he tried again and again, but Song Tangning tried to stop him in every possible way. He even vaguely saw the man pretending to be Xiao Yan.
They didn't dare to show up at all. How could Xiao Yan be in Hexi Hall?
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the people who were being suppressed and kneeling in the courtyard: "Who gave you the courage to trespass into the place where I am recovering from my injuries?"
"The Governor..."
Everyone else's faces were also pale. Most of those who came in with Yue Fengcheng were dead. Some of the people left behind knelt on the ground and said tremblingly:
"Subordinate, I don't dare. It was Mr. Yue who said that the governor was being persecuted, and Commander Cang used his servants to deceive the outside world. He also said that the governor was not in the house for a long time, and we are here to save the governor..."
"boom!"
Jinyun raised his hand and landed on the man's face. Seeing him lying on the ground vomiting blood, he said in a cold voice:
"The Governor has already ordered that all affairs in the house be handled by the girl during the period of recuperation. You are all people who have followed the Governor for many years. Don't you know that what Cang Lang did was the order of the Governor?"
"Who gave you the courage to lead people into the Crane Hall and attack the girl?!"
Jinyun remembered that the governor was full of violence before, and thought of Tang Ning who almost died, and his heart was full of fear. He knew how much the governor cared about the girl.
If Tang Ning really dies, then the Governor...
Jinyun angrily stomped on the man's chest.
