Chapter 455 The Big Villain Loves to Fall for My Tricks

Xiao Tang grunted and gently hooked her chin with her index finger.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

"I originally wanted to become a nun, since it would be peaceful and I wouldn't have to worry about food and drink."

"But... that bald guy left me speechless. I never want to stay with the people at the temple again."

She was too embarrassed to say that it was a really bad choice.

From now on, I will avoid temples and bald men.

Xiao Tang nodded slowly, then turned and wrote a letter of recommendation for Yan Ruyu.

I wrote this letter of recommendation carefully and seriously.

Yan Ruyu had only said it casually, but she never expected that Xiao Tang would actually agree so seriously and even write a letter of recommendation.

She was extremely grateful to Xiao Tang.

He even reached out and hugged Xiao Tang.

After writing the letter, Xiao Tang pressed a mark onto the back of the jade thumb ring.

He handed it to her, saying, "After all, it needs to be credible, so you'd better take it carefully."

Yan Ruyu was so moved she almost cried.

She had never met such a good person in her life; the person in front of her was so good that she wanted to rush into her arms and cry.

Seeing that her eyes were red, Xiao Tang immediately said, "Don't cry, I'm telling you!"

Yan Ruyu immediately burst out laughing.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I won't cry. I just feel a little embarrassed by what you're saying."

She still wanted to express her gratitude properly.

Seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, Xiao Tang was about to react when the curtain was suddenly pulled open.

The moment two guards burst in, Yan Ruyu immediately flinched in alarm.

Yan Ruyu subconsciously became wary of such guards.

Even knowing that this guard was the regent's man...

Xiao Tang patted her shoulder reassuringly and whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry."

"What's wrong?" she asked the guard.

"Your Highness, we failed to capture the Prince of Jiangnan. He sent his guards to break in, but when they saw that things were not going well, they immediately fled with their son and the rest of their family."

Xiao Tang was surprised when the guard came to report the situation.

Xiao Tang nodded and turned to look at Yan Ruyu.

Is this cowardly guy really the bald-headed King of Jiangnan?

"Where is the Regent?"

Upon hearing Xiao Tang's question about the Regent, the guard on the other side replied in a low voice, "His Highness has led troops to pursue the Prince of Jiangnan."

Xiao Tang and Yan Ruyu exchanged a glance.

Yan Ruyu gently tugged at her sleeve from behind and whispered, "Is there a problem?"

But these two men are indeed the Regent's men, and they wouldn't mistake one for the other.

Xiao Tang turned to face the guards and whispered, "You all go out first, you don't need to stay here."

The guards clearly refused.

Xiao Tang immediately sensed that something was wrong.

If Emperor Jingling were still alive, there would be no way he would leave two unfamiliar guards to protect her.

Without making a sound, she slipped her hand into her sleeve and fumbled for the silver needle.

If the two guards react in any way, she will immediately take action.

Just as she was on guard, one of the guards suddenly drew his long sword.

His only goal was Yan Ruyu!

Yan Ruyu was a martial artist, and she immediately sensed the danger approaching.

She pulled Xiao Tang aside to avoid him.

But we were still a step too slow.

The long sword sliced ​​open Yan Ruyu's sleeve.

Yan Ruyu groaned in pain.

Even though it was just a scratch, she still felt pain.

Xiao Tang held her arm, glanced at her nervously, and looked her over again and again.

Yan Ruyu then said, "It's nothing, I'm fine."

Upon hearing her say that she was alright, Xiao Tang quickly turned her head and glared fiercely at the guard, and immediately a silver needle flew out.

The silver needle was lodged directly in the guard's neck.

Seeing this, the guard on the other side snatched his companion's long sword and was about to approach Xiao Tang.

Snap!

Before the long sword could pierce Xiao Tang, there was a whooshing sound behind him, and the guard fell straight to the ground.

Behind him was a man in a black robe.

Di Jingling gripped his longsword, its blade dripping with blood, and strode toward Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang's eyes lit up when she saw him.

"My husband."

Yan Ruyu clicked her tongue in amazement at the pitiful state of the fallen guard.

She never expected that the Regent would be so ruthless in killing people.

Wow.

Fortunately, she and the Regent were not enemies; otherwise, her death would have been tragic.

Di Jingling threw down his longsword, grasped Xiao Tang's hand, and asked, "Are you injured?"

I can't see her anywhere.

Xiao Tang felt a warmth in her heart and hugged his arm. "I'm not hurt, don't worry."

Seeing the couple's affectionate behavior, Yan Ruyu gently raised her hand to cover her eyes.

It's so offensive!

She seems superfluous here.

Xiao Tang suddenly remembered something, turned to look at her, and asked Di Jingling, "Husband, what's the situation outside?"

[I haven't heard any fighting sounds anymore.]

[With the main villain arriving, the situation outside is definitely resolved.]

"It's alright, this was just a trick to lure him out."

"So... has the person been caught?" Yan Ruyu asked timidly.

She covered her eyes with her hands, not daring to look at them for long, but she was somewhat worried.

Di Jingling completely ignored Yan Ruyu and kept his eyes fixed on Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang truly belongs to me.

Seeing that Yan Ruyu did not receive an answer, Xiao Tang had no choice but to ask Di Jingling again: "Have you caught the person?"

What she was more curious about was whether the big bald man and the little bald man had really run away.

Given their modus operandi, running away is...possible?

Di Jingling frowned. "We caught them."
