165 Chapter 165

"Boss Xu, are you so afraid of my death?"

The person she was waiting for hadn't shown up yet, and the girl on the wooden chair seemed to have lost all hope. Now she was sitting there helplessly with her eyes closed and tears falling.

There was a sound of rain outside the window, and the cool breeze brought moist water vapor, blowing the girl's wet hair.

The fair and delicate little face was now covered with crystal tears, which made anyone who saw it feel pity.

Yang Ye stepped forward, bent down slightly, and wiped the tears from her cheeks with his fingertips. He said softly, "Don't cry, Qinghe. Although he is dead, I am still here."

However, just as he bent down, the person in front of him suddenly opened his eyes!

A pair of watery eyes are full of determination and ruthlessness!

Before Yang Ye could react, a cold light flashed in front of him and a silver hairpin hit his neck!

"you……"

The girl who was so broken and fragile just now had untied the rope right under his nose, and then took out the hairpin from her head and stabbed him in the vitals when he was not paying attention!

Yang Ye suddenly felt a numbness in his neck, but after a moment, his neck was stiff and unable to move!

"Do you think I was stalling just to wait for Xie Qi to come?"

She exerted force with her hand and pushed the silver hairpin in half an inch further.

The thing Xu Qinghe used to pierce Yang Ye's neck was the plum blossom hairpin with a long needle hidden in it and covered with powder that Xie Qi had given her on their wedding day when she was still Wei Che.

That day in Lanzhou City, at the farewell banquet, Xie Qi prepared thank-you gifts for everyone, and the ones he gave her were the items that witnessed their relationship when they were still in Kyoto.

This time when she came to Caoqu Township, she knew that it would be dangerous if she used herself as bait, so she took with her this hairpin that looked plain but actually had a hidden edge, and also made a bracelet for herself that also had a hidden secret.

She used the sharp blade on the bracelet to cut the rope, and then cut her arm to awaken her senses with the pain, and counterattacked Yang Ye when he was feeling proud and relaxed.

"Give me the antidote. Otherwise, if I rashly take the hairpin back now, do you think your vitals will bleed profusely? And how long can you survive?"

“…”

Yang Ye's neck was covered in blood. In just a moment, he was subdued by a woman who was hit by the soft muscle loosening technique and was left powerless!

"The land of gentleness is the tomb of heroes. The ancients were right." He smiled with a sad look on his lips.

"So you're considered a hero?"

Xu Qinghe's eyes became even colder. At this moment, he wished he could use the long hairpin in his hand to kill this man a hundred times.

"Bring the antidote to the plague!"

“…”

The smile on Yang Ye's lips suddenly became ambiguous: "I'm right here, you just saw it, the antidote is in my arms. Since you want it, why don't you come and get it yourself?"

“…”

"Madam, you have already used up all your strength just now, right?"

Yang Ye endured the pain and took half a step forward.

The girl in front of him, whose face was already pale, really retreated step by step. Although she did not look panicked, her eyes were obviously not as calm as before.

Sure enough, he made the right bet.

Fortunately, the hairpin pierced the left side of his neck, and his right hand can still move.

He grabbed Xu Qinghe's wrist with his backhand and peeled off the silver hairpin that was already stained with blood inch by inch.

"Qinghe, why do you have to struggle so meaninglessly? Isn't it better to just follow me?"

“…”

Woof woof——

Woof woof woof——

At this moment, there were suddenly a few dog barking sounds outside the house.

The next moment, a "whoosh" sound was heard, and several stones broke through the window lattice and came in, hitting Yang Ye's wrist!

Yang Ye felt a pain in his hand and immediately loosened the shackles on Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe collapsed to the ground exhausted, and when he looked up he saw a dark shadow leaping in from the window.

The man drew his sword from its sheath, and the sharp blade was against Yang Ye's neck.

It was Xie Qi who was already soaked.

However, with a "bang", Yang Ye took out two thunder bombs from somewhere, and white mist suddenly rose around him.

When the white mist dissipated, Yang Ye had long disappeared.

When they separated, Xie Qi was wearing a straw raincoat. If he had just been caught in the rain, he would not have been so wet.

The current appearance shows that it has obviously escaped from the water.

"He has the antidote!"

Xu Qinghe shouted at Xie Qi who was about to chase after someone.

Xie Qi followed the footprints on the mud outside and chased Yang Ye all the way to a cliff.

This place was originally a cliff, but now the flood is flowing and the bottom of the cliff has been filled up by the water, turning it into a river cliff.

The plum blossom hairpin was still stuck on Yang Ye's neck. The left side of his body could no longer move, and now he could only hold a long sword tightly in his right hand.

"I can't believe you were able to survive the flood and find your way here."

Xie Qi didn't have time to talk nonsense with him. Qinghe was still in the room. As long as he was not with her, he would never feel at ease.

He held the sword tightly in his hand and immediately stabbed at Yang Ye.

Yang Ye originally wanted to delay time so that the muscle-relaxing powder he had taken during his escape could take effect, so that he could recover his strength as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Xie Qi to come with a sword.

In desperation, he had to raise his knife to block, while trying to disturb his mind.

"Xie Qi, guess what I did with her during the time you were away?"

Xie Qi's eyes turned cold, and he stabbed with the sword in his hand. In a blink of an eye, he had poked several holes in Yang Ye's body.

"Shut up!"

The pain in his body seemed to stimulate the effect of the medicine. Yang Ye suddenly felt that his left hand could move, so he immediately took out another knife from his body.

The two short knives defended on both sides, preventing Xie Qi from getting close.

Yang Ye continued to sneer and said, "Guess why her outer fir ended up somewhere else?"

“…”

"Why don't you try to guess again? What exactly did we do just now that allowed a weak woman like her to get close enough to hurt me?"

“…”

"Xie Qi, Xie Qi, you are lucky, but it's a pity that you came back too late. She is already mine."

“…”

Xie Qi's eyes and brows suddenly became colder, like frost in the coldest days of winter.

His expression was cold, and the sword in his hand became even more powerful. Even though Yang Ye blocked quickly, his attack speed was even faster. In the blink of an eye, he had stabbed two swords into each of Yang Ye's thighs.

While Yang Ye was in pain, Xie Qi flew up and landed behind Yang Ye.

The long sword came at him, forcing Yang Ye to retreat in the opposite direction of the cliff.

He knew that Xie Qi was guarding against him and looking for an opportunity to jump into the water to survive.

He pulled his lips into a smile, suddenly put aside what was happening in front of him, and reminisced about the past with him.

"Xie Qi, guess when I met her? It was after you left Kyoto. She appeared to be bringing people back to the southern border, but in reality, she and I were living in seclusion in Ting'an Town."

"I have to thank you for letting me go. Otherwise, how would I have had the chance to marry her?"

“…”

Xie Qi said nothing, but his sword moves became more fierce.

He couldn't be provoked, and he couldn't let Yang Ye die or escape.

He was going to see her with the antidote the girl wanted.

Yang Ye continued, "After five years, I wonder if you still remember where she is sensitive, where her moles are, and where she likes to do things the most?"

“…”

Xie Qi's eyes turned cold and he suddenly swung his sword down.

"ah!!"

Yang Ye suddenly had one of his arms cut off!

The severed arm still held a short knife, but it had already moved several feet away from its owner and finally fell into the turbulent and muddy river.

Yang Ye suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and could hardly hold the knife in his right hand.

He glared at Xie Qi, his eyes piercing.

Xie Qi glanced at the arm that had floated away along the river, wondering if the antidote the girl mentioned was right in that arm.

Yang Ye looked defeated, but he still sneered, "I remember all of this. By the way, you may not know yet, but who is the child of that little girl named Ping An?"

Xie Qi's expression suddenly changed.

Suddenly, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Ye suddenly ran towards the river cliff.

As long as he gets into the river and floats downstream, he will survive!

But Xie Qi came to his senses very quickly. When his upper body had already protruded from the cliff, he raised his hand, grabbed Yang Ye's ankle, and pulled him back.

Yang Ye fell to the ground with a thud, and the broken part of his arm was pressed against the ground and rubbed hard.

Before he could recover from the severe pain, a soap boot stepped on his chest.

Xie Qi stood with his sword in hand and asked in a cold voice, "What did you mean by that just now?"

"What do you mean?"

Yang Ye gasped, knowing that he would not escape death today.

Before dying, it would be worth it if I could plant the seeds of doubt in this person's mind, making him suspect everything about Xu Qinghe and then stay away from him.

He then pursed his lips and smiled, "That's exactly what it says. In Ting'an Town, she and I were deeply in love, and soon we had a lovely daughter, Ping'an. You never thought it would happen, did you? Your Princess of Daying was so infatuated with me that she was even willing to bear my child! It's a pity, it's a child with Nanyi blood. Do you think she should have survived?"

Xie Qi was about to ask more questions, but he saw the person on the ground suddenly spit out blood. It turned out that he had committed suicide by biting his tongue.

Yang Ye's eyes were still open, staring at the man who stepped on him.

The look in his eyes was unexpectedly one of complacency and mockery, as if his death today was not a sign of surrender, but merely a brief hibernation.

“…”

In fact, even if he had not bitten his tongue to commit suicide, he would definitely not have survived with the wounds on his neck and arms, as well as the few times he had stabbed him in the vital parts just now.

Xie Qi reached into his arms and indeed found several bottles and jars.

Just in case, he decided to take the man's body back and give it to Xu Qinghe for inspection.

All the way, he was thinking about how to tell the girl.

When Xie Qi learned from Sister Yueying that the girl might have had dealings with Nan Si, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

However, given his current relationship with the girl, he couldn't ask these questions rashly. Otherwise, not only would he fail to win her back, but the vindictive girl might also bring up the old matter and ignore him.

Therefore, he never asked her about her past with Nan Si.

But if what Nan Si said before his death was true...

If that girl had really been involved with a Nanyi man and even gave birth to his child, not only others but also she herself would hate herself to death.

If that was the case, how could he suddenly ask her the truth and hit her sore spot?

At this moment, he just wanted to see her quickly, hug her, comfort her, and repent and make up for his absence today and in the past.

The fear is that this girl doesn't want him to get close to her at all.

However, what surprised Xie Qi was that as soon as he dragged Nan Si's body into the yard, the four-legged puppy in the distance had no time to rush over to him and play with him, but the girl who was always calm had already run over.

Then, she threw herself into his arms wantonly.

“…”

Although Xie Qi was caught off guard, he stood firmly in place.

After a moment, he raised his hand and hugged the girl back, gently patting her back.

"I'm sorry, I'm late and made you feel wronged."

Of course Xu Qinghe was wronged!

Even though she seemed calm just now, she really thought that this man had left her again!

How could he die before she had the chance to tell him about her past grievances, before she had the chance to tell him that she and he had a beautiful and lovely daughter, before she had the chance to make him pay the price for running away?

Fortunately, he escaped death again.

"Yang Ye told me that he would lead you under the dam, and once you got there, he would immediately order someone to blow up the dam."

Xu Qinghe choked up.

However, Xie Qi didn't take it seriously. Instead, he chuckled, "So, you thought I died in the flood?"

Xu Qinghe raised her head, a hint of anger on her beautiful tearful face.

"Do you dare mention that word again?"

Xie Qi gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said softly, "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore. From now on, I won't say this word again, okay? But why are you so stupid to worry about this? Have you forgotten that when we were young, we learned to swim and would soak in the river for half a day. How could it be so easy to - what about that?"

Of course Xu Qinghe knew it, but he couldn't help but feel confused because of his concern.

Now that she saw that he was fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's Yang Ye? Has he been caught?"

Xie Qi's eyes dimmed: "Dead."

"Dead?"

Xu Qinghe's expression suddenly changed: "What about the antidote I asked you to find?"

Xie Qi took out some bottles and jars from his arms.

"I brought the body back, but one of its arms is missing. All his medicines are here. I wonder which one you want?"

Xu Qinghe picked out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and fed it to his lips.

"Eat it."

“…”

Xie Qi didn't hesitate and opened his mouth to let her stuff the pill, whose function was unknown, into his mouth.

Only after seeing him take the antidote with his own eyes did Xu Qinghe finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The effect of the tendon softening powder took effect later, her legs went weak, and she fell into Xie Qi's arms.

Xie Qi also had a few knife wounds on his body, but they were not serious and did not affect his ability to easily carry the girl on his back.

He took the girl to the back mountain where everyone was taking shelter from the water.

On the way, Xu Qinghe told him in detail the information he had just learned from Yang Ye.

Xie Qi finally understood what the girl had just fed him.

Although he felt heavy in his heart, he wore a relaxed smile on his face: "Boss Xu was busy feeding me medicine. I thought you were going to kill me. I didn't expect you to be so afraid of my death."

I clearly told you not to mention this word, but he mentioned it again!

Xu Qinghe was furious and bit his neck hard, and only let go after Xie Qi kept begging for mercy.

She snorted coldly and said sternly, "Now we have the antidote from him, but there are only a few pills. How can we save the entire Lanzhou?"

In a place where she couldn't see, Xie Qi's brows darkened, but he still comforted her in a relaxed tone, "Do you still remember Yufeng Pavilion and Fu Zongying?"

Xu Qinghe: "Remember, isn't that the one who teamed up with you to deceive me back then?"

Xie Qi: ...

This girl really holds a grudge.

"Everyone in Yufeng Pavilion is also proficient in pharmacology. Fu Zongying sent a message a while ago saying he would come to see me. Now that he's here, let him take a look at Nan Si's antidote. This problem will definitely be solved."

"Is it really that powerful?"

Xu Qinghe was suspicious.

Xie Qi smiled and said, "He doesn't have much ability, but his wife is well versed in medicine, so there will definitely be no problem."

Three days later, the flood gradually receded.

Xie Qi had already informed officials at all levels in Lanzhou about the poisoning of the river water, and ordered them to supervise their people and only use well water and never touch the water in the river again.

At the same time, he ordered people to block the river as quickly as possible.

However, there are many rivers in Lanzhou and the floods are extremely turbulent, so this is not an easy task.

Fortunately, Xu Qinghe now has a lot of people under his command, and there are people lurking in various places, which is also a considerable force.

On May 13th, everyone returned to Lanzhou City.

It was already late at night, and Xie Qi was still diligently serving as the girl's night watchman. He waited until the girl in the inner room fell asleep before he tiptoed out.

There was a convex moon in the dome, and the eaves were full of lights.

He stood under the light and saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness.

He whispered, "Send someone to Ting'an Town in Kyoto to investigate Madam's past with Yang Ye. This isn't urgent, but be sure to report every detail."

It is said that the words of a dying person are good, but how can we know that the words Yang Ye said before his death were not intentional provocation?

No matter whose child Ping'an is that girl's, he has to get to the bottom of what happened.
