Su Yun felt difficulty breathing, but she didn't want to die like this, so she stammered in a hoarse voice.

"Second...uncle..."

Qi Lian loosened his hand, carried Su Yun to the inside of the bed with one hand, and stuffed the bamboo tube into the quilt.

At the same time, the door was pushed open and Qi Jue ran in with a meteor hammer.

"City Lord, you're awake!"

Qi Jue clasped his fists, but his eyes searched every corner of the room.

Strange? He clearly heard the voice of a little girl.

Qi Lian stood up and sat up, the quilt slipped off, revealing his wet underwear.

"City Lord...you..." Qi Jue was surprised. No one had entered or left this room, so why was the City Lord's clothes wet? Qi Lian stopped Qi Jue with his eyes, and Qi Jue swallowed the doubts in his heart and stopped asking.

"Please go and kill the three of them, my subordinates!" Qi Jue looked at the ruddy-faced Qi Lian worriedly, fearing that he might be having a last gasp.

Sansha clearly said that the city lord would sleep for three hours after taking the medicine, but it was very abnormal that he woke up in less than an hour.

[It seems that my second uncle doesn't want to kill me anymore. ]

Su Yun was lying on the bed, touching her neck.

[Wow, wow, wow...but it really hurts! ]

Qi Jue felt a pang in his heart when he saw Qi Lian had a gloomy expression and remained silent.

Could it be that the city lord's condition has worsened? "City lord, is there anything wrong with your health?"

"No!" Qi Lian paused and said, "Qi Jue, can you hear any sound at this moment?"

"No." Qi Jue shook his head, turned the meteor hammer in his hand and put it on his lower back.

Qi Lian was in deep thought, and it sounded like what the little kid said was really from his heart.

Could it be that he is really the second uncle of this little girl? Does he have a family... too? Feeling the wound slowly healing, Qi Lian's left hand quietly touched Su Yun.

It was not a big deal that the touch actually touched Su Yun's neck.

"Hiss~" Su Yun couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Qi Jue held the meteor hammer in his hand, "Who?"

"Don't make a fuss. The wound was just pulled." Qi Lian silently withdrew his left hand and placed it on his abdomen and clenched it.

He hit her too hard, and the girl's neck must have been bruised.

Qi Jue moved his mouth but said nothing more.

The city lord intentionally favored the person in the dark, so how could he not hear that the voice was clearly that of a girl?

What was strange was that he clearly heard the sound coming from the inside of the city lord's bed, but he couldn't see him.

Qi Lian put his hand to his lips and coughed softly, "Is there any movement in Nanyue Country now?"

"Since Nanyuechu had a battle with the city lord and fell into the dark river, he has disappeared. Now the Nanyue Kingdom has withdrawn its troops back to Nanyue, and several princes of Nanyue are fighting for the throne, so they have no time to attack the lonely city!"

"Alright, let's go down! Let the Three Killers come over!"

"Yes!" Qi Jue clasped his fists and retreated.

[My silly second uncle, Qi Jue is the most loyal, how could you let him go down and exchange for San Sha.

These three killers are both good at medicine and poison, and they have secretly given you, my second uncle, a chronic poison.

Otherwise, how do you think you suddenly lost to Nan Yuechu? 】

Qi Lian was so shocked that even his fingers trembled slightly.

He rescued Sansha and Qijue from the slave farm and they have been with him since they were young.

In addition to Sansha's medical skills, it can be said that Sansha and Qijue's martial arts were all cultivated by him!

As for doubting Sanda, he never had the thought of that, but his internal strength did pause for a moment when he was fighting with Nan Yuechu.

If he wasn't naturally sensitive to time, he wouldn't have noticed it!

But why did Sansha betray him, and when did it start?

[Speaking of which, Sansha is also a pitiful man. His entire family was killed when he was young, leaving only him and his sister to escape. But on the way to escape, he accidentally separated from his sister!

Three years ago, Nan Yuechu saved Sansha's sister Tan Xier by chance. After learning that Tan Xier's brother was Gucheng's Sansha, she secretly contacted him.

Because my sister was in Nan Yuechu's hands, Sansha had no choice but to follow Nan Yuechu's orders. Maybe he didn't kill her because he was concerned about Qi Jue, who had always been with my second uncle! Maybe he was also concerned about the grace of saving her life! 】

[I can only say that there must be something hateful about pitiful people! ]

Hearing the tender child's voice, Qi Lian's eyes darkened.

He has been helping her search for the past seven years.

"Dongdongdong~"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Qi Lian quickly covered Su Yun with a quilt.

Although he knew that no one else could see the little girl, he still couldn't let go of his worry! [What? I'm going to suffocate! ]

Qi Lian pulled the quilt down a little in panic.

Sansha always wears black clothes, and his ink-black hair is tied up high with a crown.

The narrow and long almond-shaped eyes were half-open, making the whole person look extremely lazy.

He was yawning as he walked, looking quite careless.

"Brother Qi, I heard from Qi Jue that you woke up, but you are feeling better now!"

Having said that, he unceremoniously sat down beside the bed and took Qilian's pulse.

Feeling the steady and strong pulse of his man, Sansha's heart skipped a beat, but he showed no sign on his face. He said with a playful smile.

"As expected of you, Brother Qi. Your body heals quickly. It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe some tonic medicine for you later. You'll be fully recovered in a few days!"

[Tsk~ All the toxins in my uncle's body have been cleared by Lingxi, and his injuries will be healed within three days. I think you just saw that my uncle is in good health and wanted to poison him! ]

Su Yun was disdainful. Half of her body felt numb after lying on her side for so long, so she slowly moved and lay down on her stomach.

Seeing that Su Yun was not behaving well, Qi Lian put his hand under the quilt and patted her head.

[What the hell? Why is my second uncle patting my head? ]

Qi Lian withdrew his hand uncomfortably. This girl's hair was quite nice to touch.

"Brother Qi, is there anything else? If not, I'll go down first." Sansha was not surprised to see Qi Lian was silent. After all, the city lord has always been like this and he is used to it.

Qi Lian raised his eyes and looked at Sansha.

"Have you heard from your sister recently?"

"No, it's still the same!"

Sansha lowered his head slightly and looked depressed.

He has not been able to contact Nan Yuechu since she disappeared. Nan Yue's seizure of the throne caused chaos, and he doesn't know how his sister is doing now?

"Your sister's name is Tan Xier, right?"

Qi Lian's sudden words startled San Sha so much that he almost lost his balance.

He only told Qi Lian that his sister's name was Xier, and did not say their surname was Tan.

How did Qi Lian know this? Sansha calmed down and put on a face full of joy.

"How did Brother Qi know? Could it be that there is news about Xi'er?"

"In Nanyue Country!" Qilian said this and looked at Sansha deeply.

[Could it be that my second uncle already knew that Sansha had betrayed him, and just wanted to give Sansha a chance, a chance to confess!

Alas, my second uncle was too sentimental, so he died in this battle!

If I hadn't used the blessing charm and the lucky charm, my second uncle would have definitely died! 】

Amulets of protection and luck? Qi Lian thought about it carefully. When he was fighting with Nan Yuechu, he was almost stabbed in the throat by a sword. But somehow, the sword bounced off his neck.

He didn't think about it at the time and dragged Nan Yuechu into the underground river.

The underground river was turbulent and ran through the entire Qin Empire. Anyone who fell into the underground river would die. It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or something else that he got stuck in the cracks of the rocks, and Qi Jue found him quickly.

Everything is so coincidental.

It turned out that it was a little girl who claimed to be his niece who saved him.

Qi Lian had no doubts. He thought that Su Yun was so mysterious because she had the ability to do so.

Sansha was stunned, and he quietly picked up three silver needles emitting black energy with his fingertips.

He was now sure that Qi Lian had already discovered him! He was trying to take advantage of the situation by not taking action, pretending to be poisoned so that Nan Yuechu would lower her guard . No wonder he found no residual poison in Qi Lian when he took his pulse just now.

Sansha smiled and said, "In Nanyue Country? Then when will Brother Qi help me bring Xier back?"
