Li Nian waited in the room for a long time but did not hear the system's notification sound for increasing health points.

Did she misunderstand? Could it be that Xiao Yunyu could be added just by obeying her instructions?

The passage of time in the darkness seems particularly long.

In late spring and early summer, the howling night wind from the northwest is still chilly, but it is no longer as bitingly cold.

Xiao Yunyu changed from standing on the roof to sitting on the roof.

The door opened, and a petite figure carrying a bag tiptoed towards the east side room. Then the light in the room came on, the candlelight flickered for a while, and the figure came out of the room holding the baby in her arms.

He looked around and suddenly, he was using Qinggong? ? His wife actually knew martial arts?

Xiao Yunyu followed all the way. The figure was obviously not very skilled in light skills and almost fell several times. Xiao Yunyu was so scared that he almost showed up to help.

After a safe journey, they finally reached the city wall. Xiao Yunyu looked up at the towering wall. With her limited martial arts skills, if she didn't use some external force, she would definitely...

Can you actually get up there?

Suspicion flashed across Xiao Yunyu's deep eyes.

Shen Qianye waited and waited at the agreed place. As time passed, he couldn't help but worry whether something had happened to Li Nian.

But he didn't dare go back to look for her easily, for fear that they would miss each other along the way.

The city gates are closed at night. During this special time, no one is allowed to enter at night. He left the city early before the gates were closed.

Could it be that Nian Nian doesn't know the situation and is now trapped in the city and unable to get out?

Shen Qianye was just guessing wildly when he heard a familiar low call: "Shen Qianye!"

Shen Qianye's eyes lit up, and he turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. Seeing Li Nian walking towards him with the child in her arms, he suddenly felt relieved.

He quickly stepped forward to take the bag from Li Nian and asked in a low voice, "Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

Li Nian raised her head and smiled at him, then whispered, "It's okay. Everything went smoothly along the way. Let's go."

“Okay,” Shen Qianye responded, reaching out to help Li Nian get into the carriage.

Then he jumped onto the carriage, grabbed the reins and drove quickly towards Bei'an City.

The northwest night wind is very strong all year round. Coupled with the wind from the running carriage, gusts of cold air rushed in, blowing Li Nian's nervous mood away gradually with the wind.

The sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling on the ground echoed in the dark and silent sky and earth.

After the carriage had been traveling for a while, Li Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally escaped.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard all around, getting closer and closer, and it sounded as if they were being chased from behind!

"Niannian, it seems like someone is chasing us. Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up!" After saying that, Shen Qianye suddenly increased the speed of the carriage.

A game like a pack of wolves chasing a fleeing prey was being played out on the outskirts of Dong'an City. The wolves behind were chasing closely, but the way forward was blocked by a pack of tigers.

"Whoa--" Their carriage was surrounded.

"Who are you? Why are you coming from Dong'an City in the middle of the night?" The leader who blocked their way asked sternly.

The pursuers behind them also arrived at this time. A loud male voice rang out: "Thank you, General Wang, for helping us stop them. These two people are suspected spies. We chased them all the way from Dong'an City to here. We will capture them and interrogate them."

Shen Qianye looked at everyone coldly: "Wait! What makes you say we are spies? Do you have any evidence?"

A bearded man among the pursuers snorted coldly, "Leaving the city in the middle of the night, your behavior is suspicious. If you're not spies, what are you?"

Shen Qianye hurriedly explained: "We had to travel overnight because of an emergency at home. We are not spies."

General Wang frowned upon hearing this and said, "Oh? Then tell me, where are you going? What are you going to do?"

"General Wang! Don't listen to his nonsense. I have seen him sneaking around outside the city wall a long time ago. We cannot make any mistakes at this time. Let's catch him and interrogate him first before making a decision." Liu Gangyang said hurriedly.

The general ordered that the person must be brought back.

When Liu Gangyang saw Shen Qianye, he recognized him as the man from the family that the general had stopped in the evening.

He secretly speculated in his heart that it seemed that General Xiao from the capital must have taken a fancy to the young lady.

That's why he was ordered to arrest someone. He couldn't let others know that it was his order, and he couldn't let the young lady suffer any injustice.

Li Nian held the child's hand tightly, feeling nervous about what to do next.

It would be fine if they just interrogated him, but if these people randomly accuse him... No, Shen Qianye's family is a third generation of military service, and his father and brother both died on the battlefield. He will never be considered a spy.

I was afraid that if I went back and met Xiao Yunyu, he would know that I had run away with the child again.

With Xiao Yunyu's bad temper, no one knows what will happen.

Shen Qianye was driving the carriage, surrounded by soldiers, and was forced to walk back step by step.

When Li Nian and the others were brought to the yamen, Xiao Yunyu had already changed into a robe. It was a dark blue brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns and silver thread. He wore a silver crown inlaid with jade on his head and a silver belt inlaid with jade around his waist.

He walked in with big strides, his robe fluttering in the wind. His handsome face was filled with coldness, which made his originally proud and elegant temperament suddenly become fierce and eccentric.

When Li Nian saw his familiar figure, her heart skipped a beat. What she feared would come true!

If she had known earlier, she would have asked Shen Qianye to park the carriage farther away!

Li Nian watched Xiao Yunyu walk straight to the table at the top and sit down. When his eyes saw her, he was obviously surprised.

He called out uncertainly, "Nian Nian?"

Li Nian replied with a guilty conscience: "What a coincidence, we meet again."
