Chapter 71 Song Shaoyue (3) That’s obviously his wife! …

When Fang Zhen's men rushed out, they used their most common method as bandits, shooting all the horses in the caravan with several arrows.

Because the distance was too close, even when Yan Huinan and Si Wen reacted, the horse had already been hit by the arrow. After rushing forward for a distance in fright, it finally fell down because it was shot in the vitals.

Ever since he completely defeated Lou Cheng four years ago, Yan Huinan has not used force for a long time. He has tortured his body for many years, and his once healthy body is now covered with scars. External injuries are not worth mentioning, and internal injuries are the most serious.

During the six years since Xie Yun left, Yan Huinan felt heartbroken every time he thought of how Xie Yun was almost bitten by Princess Changheng's snake and how he didn't even give her the most basic care.

So, over the years, Yan Huinan not only burned his chest repeatedly with a branding iron, but also raised venomous snakes, willingly allowing himself to be bitten as a way of atonement. After being bitten, he used strong medication to suppress the toxins. Over time, the toxins in his body would be cleared and then reappeared, gradually accumulating. In the past two years, his health had completely collapsed.

Every time when spring and summer come together, I am very susceptible to catching a cold. Once I am infected, it is difficult to recover and I have to rely on medicine to stay alive all day long.

Before leaving, when Yan Lang went to say goodbye to his brothers and sisters, Yu Xian and Li Wei were also very worried about Yan Huinan's health.

They wanted to stop him, but they all knew that no one could stop Yan Huinan. Unless he died, he would not give up looking for Xie Yun.

But Yan Huinan didn't want to die, so he held on to his last breath and was determined to find Xie Yun.

Stupid and stubborn.

After their horses were attacked, a dark mass of people rushed down the hillside like a pack of wolves. Si Wen and his guards immediately rushed forward to meet the enemy.

Wen Yao, who was not far away, saw Fang Zhen's men shoot arrows at the rich man's horse. He thought it was bad! Worried that they would suffer, he quickly brought people to help.

"Xie Yun, just stay here. Don't go over there. It's too dangerous!" Wen Yao did not forget to remind Xie Yun. He also left some people to protect her.

Xie Yun nodded, "Well, be careful."

Fang Zhen had sent a rather large and modest group of men, but there were still about twenty or thirty of them. They were all feeling the pain they'd suffered at the hands of Wen Yao today, and they were determined to get back at the big fish before them. So, they were unwavering in their robbing.

But those who could follow Yan Huinan were all battle-hardened warriors, and they could easily deal with this group of bandits who were not to be feared.

Someone rushed towards Si Wen with a machete in his hand, waving it with a sharp wind. Si Wen had just finished killing one person when he looked up and saw the machete. The blade was almost about to fall on Si Wen's neck, but he turned around neatly and barely avoided the attack.

The next moment, the thief had no time to retract his knife, and Si Wen stuck to the blade of his knife, stepped to the side of the man, raised his hand and slashed the knife, stabbing his neck. The man immediately fell down in pain, struggling in agony, and blood flowed all over the floor.

Then, Si Wen easily killed several people, and the same happened to the rest.

Wen Yao, with his face covered, also helped kill several people.

They left only one person alive.

Si Wen asked: "Tell me the truth, who are you?"

Si Wen has been with Yan Huinan for many years. Although his aura is not as great as Yan Huinan's, now anyone who comes out and faces Si Wen's aura of majesty without even being angry will feel a sense of fear from the bottom of their heart.

What's more, Si Wen has tried more prisoners than this group of people have eaten rice.

The man couldn't stand Si Wen's questioning and told everything.

The moment the group rushed out, Yan Huinan abandoned his horse, rushed onto the carriage, and held Yan Lang in his arms to protect him. Yan Huinan could see that Wen Yao was helping him. But he didn't have time to speak to Wen Yao, because he was worried that the fighting outside would scare Yan Lang. He had to calm Yan Lang first. Si Wen was sent to clear the way ahead. The words of thanks were given to a deputy general. This deputy general was a brave and skilled warrior who had been promoted a few years ago. His name was Teng Ye.

Teng Ye said: "Thank you for your help, knight."

Wen Yao could tell from Teng Ye's accent that it was the most authentic Mandarin of the Great Zhou. While Baixia, a deputy capital, also spoke Mandarin, it always had a southern accent, slightly different from the northern accent. He had been a merchant for many years, having traveled extensively. From their understated yet luxurious attire and carriages, he could tell they were from the capital.

"You're welcome," Wen Yao asked. "This area is plagued by bandits. From your accent, I can tell you're not from Baixia. Be careful when you leave here. Are you going to Baixia City?"

Teng Ye: “Exactly.”

Wen Yao saw that they didn't look like they were going to do business, so he asked what they did.

Teng Ye didn't shy away from the question, "Looking for relatives."

Looking for relatives?

"Who are you looking for?"

Teng Ye: "My wife."

When Wen Yao heard Teng Ye say he was looking for his wife, alarm bells rang in his heart. He had felt Xie Yun was no ordinary woman since the first day he met her in Baixia. Although there were occasional female doctors in the world, being a female doctor was not something that ordinary women could do.

The gentle, firm, and well-educated temperament that Xie Yun exudes are not possessed by ordinary women. At least she must have been born in a wealthy family and received an education to become such an outstanding woman.

What's more, Xie Yun wasn't just skilled in medicine; she never ceased to amaze Wen Yao. Over the past six years, Wen Yao had been captivated countless times by this woman. Every time he thought Xie Yun had finally run out of ideas, he wondered what else she could offer him that would impress him.

Wen Yao had never seen a woman like this before.

The more you get along with her, the more you realize that beauty is her least noteworthy quality.

Meanwhile, Xie Yun also had a mysterious, smiling tiger brother and a cold, ruthless servant. It was precisely because of these two people that Wen Yao had been forced to be Xie Yun's partner for so many years. As long as Xie Yun didn't give the nod, no one could embarrass her or force her into anything.

Xie Yun is no ordinary Jiangnan woman. She holds many secrets.

Xie Yun had indeed asked Wen Yao to help her hide her identity. He thought Xie Yun must be avoiding someone.

So when Teng Ye and his group of people from the capital arrived, Wen Yao felt a sense of unease. Although he didn't know if the "madam" they were talking about was Xie Yun, Wen Yao had to be on guard.

No matter who it is, as long as it is someone Xie Yun wants to avoid, he will not let this person get close to Xie Yun again!

At this moment, Xie Yun came over. The moment Xie Yun came over, Teng Ye was a little dazed...

Xie Yun was still dressed as a man at this time.

Teng Ye thought he was dazzled. He actually mistook a man for his wife?! How could this be possible?

Xie Yun had just been watching the fight from the sidelines with her men. After Fang Zhen's men were killed, she sent people to investigate nearby to see if there were any more ambushes. Finding no ambushes, she then felt relieved to bring her men to look for Wen Yao.

Xie Yun asked: "How is it? Are you not hurt just now?"

On her way here, she saw the person who was talking to Wen Yao, and she felt that he looked familiar. But she couldn't remember whether she had seen him before or where.

Just as she was about to take another look, Wen Yao suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

!

What is this damn kid doing?

Xie Yun was not blind to Wen Yao's feelings. Over the past six years, Wen Yao had initially been unbridled and aggressive, almost declaring his intention to pursue Xie Yun in front of the Quanbai Lower City. But after being beaten up by Xie Run, Wen Yao had become docile, and had remained so to this day.

The most outrageous thing he did was to follow Xie Yun every day, calling her sister, or playing with her hair.

Although Xie Yun didn't know why he suddenly acted like this, she knew that Wen Yao was not a person who did things without measure, and he must have his reasons. So she lowered her voice, gritted her teeth, and asked in a voice that only Wen Yao could hear: "What are you doing?"

Wen Yao didn't answer her, but he pressed Xie Yun's head right against his heart.

Xie Yun could clearly hear and feel his heartbeat gradually accelerating.

Xie Yun is a few years older than Wen Yao and has also experienced Wen Yao's age. How could she not know what he is thinking at this moment?

The violent and frantic heartbeat made Xie Yun stunned for a moment.

But the voice behind her broke her thoughts. She only heard a man's voice saying, "I just comforted the child. Please forgive me for not coming out to thank you in person right away."

Xie Yun felt that this voice was very familiar.

The moment he heard this voice, Xie Yun felt his heart tighten.

But that person's voice was sonorous and powerful, and when he spoke, he was always proud like a king with his head held high. Although the voice was similar, how could it be him? His voice was not so gentle, so weak...

The next second, Wen Yao's young voice sounded, forming a sharp contrast with the previous voice.

Wen Yao's voice was youthful and energetic, with a hint of hostility yet also a hint of pride. "No problem."

The man continued, his voice tinged with suspicion: "Who is this?"

Wen Yao guessed that the man before him was no ordinary merchant, so he said calmly, "My wife is shy, please don't laugh at me, sir."

Yan Huinan saw from behind that the figure was indeed a woman's. If Wen Yao hadn't mentioned "wife", ordinary people would have found it difficult to tell that she was a woman. This must be a couple's love affair.

"May I ask your name, sir?" Yan Huinan asked. "You helped me. When I get to the city, I will come to thank you in person."

Wen Yao didn't want to stay here any longer. Although the man in front of him spoke politely and even had a gentle voice, he knew that even if he hadn't come out to help, this man could easily have dealt with these bandits.

After all, there was such a mess outside, but he could still sit in the carriage calmly and coax the children.

This means that he knew from the beginning that this group of people could not do anything to him, and even the carriage could not get close to him.

So Wen Yao said a few simple words and turned to leave with Xie Yun. After taking a few steps, he quickly took Xie Yun on horseback and left.

Yan Huinan's entire attention was on Yan Lang who was crying out of fear, and he didn't look closely at his surroundings when he came out to express his gratitude.

But after Wen Yao took his men away, the more he thought about that figure, the more familiar it seemed.

A bold idea even popped up in his mind: the figure from behind looked a bit like his wife...

Can't let him leave!

Yan Huinan was immediately impatient and sent people after him, but they only caught up with some of Wen Yao's servants and escorts. There was no trace of Wen Yao anymore.

Seeing this, Teng Ye, who was standing by, spoke out his own self-doubt, "General, that man looks very similar to Madam..."

Yan Huinan looked at Teng Ye in disbelief. He suddenly felt a sharp ringing in his ears and a pain somewhere in the back of his head.

So the wife that person just mentioned...is he talking about Xie Yun?

What nonsense is he talking about? Xie Yun is clearly the wife that Yan Huinan married with full legal rights... What nonsense is he talking about now?

"Chase! Bring him back to me!" Yan Huinan suddenly changed his gentle image and returned to his violent self. Yan Lang rarely saw his father like this and was shocked.

But what they just said, were they talking about mother?
