Chapter 22 Salvation

It was a dark and windy night. The 400-man Black Crow Battalion of the Qingzhou Army had assembled and were quietly lurking at the foot of Tianlang Mountain.

A group of black-clad men and horses were moving through the mountain paths, and a massacre was going on silently from the foot of the mountain to the village gate. Within an hour, all the bandits patrolling the mountain were wiped out.

The Shadow Guard Battalion took the lead, using stones, birds, and other tools to explore the way, removing traps and ambushes along the way, and then went down the mountain to report the news.

At this time, Tianlang Village was filled with joy and bright lights, because the second in command would be getting married in two days.

The brothers were drinking wine and bragging in groups of three or four. As they talked, they talked about the second wife, who was said to be as beautiful as a fairy. Some people were also tempted to please the wife after the second master got married, and then serve her together.

Everyone joked about who would get the Green Eyes and laughed.

A shadow so fast that its shape could not be seen floated by, and then disappeared into the dark roof, motionless, as calm and relaxed as if watching a play.

In the room, Ruan Qi and Jiang Yuyan were in a stalemate. He asked Jiang Yuyan to try on the wedding dress, but she remained silent and fell on the bed with her back to him.

Ruan Qi looked at the bulge in the quilt, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was on the edge of endurance. He curled up his hands behind his back, then let go. In the end, he did not drag her up forcefully. He just sat alone on the side, stroking the glittering phoenix coronet and bridal bridal gown.

There was a sudden fire outside, and there were rapid footsteps. Someone shouted, "Boss, Second Boss, there are soldiers! The soldiers are coming!"

Ruan Qi came back to his senses from his indescribable emotions, stood up suddenly, his eyes sharp and alert. When he stepped out of the door, he saw Zhao Fei, Qi Wu and others in a hurry.

"Brother?"

"There are soldiers, hundreds of them! There is no movement at the foot of the mountain. These little bastards!" Zhao Fei's eagle eyes were sharp, and he said hatefully: "Brothers, follow me to grab weapons and guard the gate!"

"Yes!" Everyone in the village was excited and picked up their weapons.

Ruan Qi glanced at Jiang Yuyan and pointed at two people, "Protect the madam, and everyone else follow me!" After that, he walked out without stopping.

The gate of Tianlang Village was surrounded by a wall several feet high. Archers on top kept shooting rockets out. The officers and soldiers raised their shields to block. The archers in the back row fired back.

Xiao Yuanyan and Xie Jingyu took the lead, followed closely by the Shadow Guard Battalion and dozens of martial arts masters. They used their lightness skills to attack the high wall under a hail of arrows.

All the bandits' archers were killed, and the officers and soldiers took the opportunity to break open the gate and swarm in.

Zhao Fei, Ruan Qi, Qi Wu and others rushed to the outer courtyard and joined the battlefield without saying a word. The two sides were caught in a fierce melee.

At the same time, Jiang Yuyan had been listening to the noise outside with her ears perked up. Her eyes lit up and she calmly put on her clothes and put on her mink fur coat.

Most likely Xiao Yuanyan and the others came to rescue her, but she didn't know what the battle situation was. Jiang Yuyan paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door, and the two guards fell down instantly. With a "bang", the door was kicked open.

She was startled, and the word "Ayan" was about to come out, but the person who came was a stranger she didn't know. She was very seductive, with her hands crossed across her chest, looking a little evil.

Jiang Yuyan's smile froze on her lips, and she unconsciously took a step back.

"Who are you?"

"I've been asked to do this, so follow me!"

The man looked her up and down with a smile on his face, then he approached her, grabbed her waist, and flew out. Jiang Yuyan was about to call out when she was hit in the acupoint and could no longer speak. Her beautiful eyes looked at the strange man in shock and anger.

The person who came was the strange thief Chi Tiannan!

The battle was in full swing in the front, and only some old, weak, women and children were left in the backyard. The two of them went around to the back mountain without much effort. The surroundings were bare, and there was a cliff below. Jiang Yuyan secretly cried out in pain but could not speak, "If you want to die, don't drag me!"

Chi Tiannan took out something like an iron lump, and with a whoosh, a golden thread-like object flew out. One end was tied firmly to a tree on the edge of the cliff, and the other end was held in his hand. He leaned over and flew down.

"Ahhhhhh!" Jiang Yuyan shouted countless times in her heart. This is bungee jumping without protection!

She was too scared to look and hugged Chi Tiannan's waist tightly. Chi Tiannan didn't know what the iron lump in his hand was, and the golden thread was continuous and kept going down until the two of them stepped on a narrow protruding stone in the middle of the cliff, and then Chi Tiannan let go.

Jiang Yuyan raised her head slightly, her heart almost jumping out of her chest. She asked in surprise, "Is there not enough thread?"

Chi Tiannan smiled a little devilishly and untied her Xuedao. Jiang Yuyan's emotions were finally released, and she cried loudly, but her hands were tightly holding Chi Tiannan.

Chi Tiannan shook her and deliberately frightened her. Jiang Yuyan's heart jumped to her throat. Seeing this man teasing her, she was frightened, nervous, and aggrieved for a moment, and she cried louder and louder.

"Shut up!" Chi Tiannan was a little annoyed. He took out another iron lump, and with a "bang", one end of it was embedded in the rock with internal force, and it flew down again.

Until the golden thread was finally used up, Chi Tiannan cursed inwardly, held her in his arms, and stabbed the dagger into the rock half an inch, using the friction to cushion his slide down, and after a moment he stood steadily at the foot of the mountain.

"We're here." Chi Tiannan wanted to pull her away, but found that he couldn't.

Jiang Yuyan hugged him tightly, her body shaking violently. The man's clothes were soaked by her tears. The woman's body fragrance and the salty smell of her tears drifted into his nostrils.

Chi Tiannan thought to himself: "I am so unlucky that I saved someone and got touched all over my body!"

So he looked at her nose and her heart. When she gradually calmed down, he frowned and said, "Can we go now? A group of people on the mountain are fighting for you!"

After a pause, Chi Tiannan added: "Women are indeed the root of trouble!"

“Go!”

Jiang Yuyan heard his unfriendly tone and didn't know how she had offended this big Buddha, so she could only follow him tremblingly.

Seeing her legs shaking so badly, Chi Tiannan frowned and thought to himself, "I'll just be a good person to the end. I'll have to pay Qin Shangyu more this time!"

"Come up!" Chi Tiannan squatted down reluctantly.

Jiang Yuyan was angry and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Chi Tiannan was getting impatient, "Hurry up! If you leave like this, you'll have your lovers to collect your bodies!"

Jiang Yuyan was indeed stunned and quickly lay down on top of him.

Chi Tiannan used his lightness skills to fly up. Although he was carrying someone on his back, he was still calm and composed, and he stepped on the moon without leaving any trace.

The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and trees, and in winter the land was completely bare, with strange shapes and was very scary. The cold wind blew through the forest, and she leaned against the man's warm body, not daring to look anymore, and quietly buried her head.

Chi Tiannan felt her weak breath spraying on his neck. He felt a little uncomfortable, and even had an indescribable numbness.

The two jumped down from the top of the mountain using Chi Tiannan's unique secret weapon, the Cloud Ladder. It was not difficult to climb mountains and jump over ridges. Before the action, Chi Tiannan had spent two days checking the terrain of Tianlang Mountain. Now he went back to the pass of Tianlang Mountain from the other side.

What caught my eye was a low-key carriage parked there quietly. When the curtain was opened, it was Qin Shangyu who had not been seen for many days.

"I'm glad I have accomplished my mission, Brother Qin!"

Chi Tiannan pulled Jiang Yuyan off his back, grabbed her waist with both hands, lifted her up, and put her into the carriage.

Qin Shangyu quickly stretched out his arms to catch her. He had been so nervous for so many days that he could no longer care about being reserved and immediately hugged her tightly in his arms.

The tip of his nose was filled with the fragrance of her hair, and his hands were filled with her warm body. Qin Shangyu sighed faintly: "Miss Jiang... Fortunately..."

Jiang Yuyan's body froze, and seeing Qin Shangyu looked like he was about to cry... She finally made up her mind and slowly closed her eyes.

It is a pity that among all things in this world, the debt of love is the hardest to repay.

“Hey, you’re still holding me. It cost me two ladders to get you, and you’re very difficult to serve. Remember to pay more…” Chi Tiannan looked at the two of them with some dissatisfaction.

Qin Shangyu awkwardly let go of Jiang Yuyan and said, "Thank you, Brother Chi, for your generosity."

Chi Tiannan bowed, turned around and disappeared without a trace. After flying for a while, he touched her tear-soaked collar and rubbed his fingers which seemed to still be warm. Some helpless unhappiness surged in his heart...

Jiang Yuyan thought of Xiao Yuanyan and the others, and asked hurriedly, "Where are Ayan and the others?"

"I have sent a signal to the mountain. They will understand when they see it. Without anyone to threaten us, we will definitely be able to capture Tianlang Village this time!"

"I'm worried. Let's go up the mountain together to take a look." Jiang Yuyan said anxiously.

“Okay…” Qin Shangyu knocked on the carriage, and a group of guards appeared in front to clear the way.
