Hu Li was surprised: "So urgent?"
Ye Nuan nodded: "Bai Li Zhuo ran away. I'm afraid he will continue to cause trouble. We must return to the wasteland immediately."
Although Hu Li wanted to keep them, he thought about the chaos in the city, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll personally escort you out later."
"No, you should get some sleep if you have time."
Liu Yu looked at her eagerly, and she chuckled and said, "Yu'er, cherish the person in front of you!"
Liu Yu subconsciously glanced at Hu Li and said nothing awkwardly.
The four of them rode the camels Hu Li had prepared, leaving Liuguang City and heading towards the desert. Three days later, they arrived at the desert. Gao Zangfeng and He Xin, having received the news, were already waiting at the desert entrance. Ye Nuan dismounted and asked He Xin, "Is my mother okay?"
He Xin nodded and said, "It's fine. Miss Jin Qiu went to accompany them for two days. Our people have been watching over them these past few days."
Qi Wuze asked again: "Are Beichen's people still in Luomu City?" Baili Zhuo will definitely reunite with his people when he comes back.
Gao Zangfeng laughed heartily, "How could he still be here? Beichen is in chaos. Xu Yi brought his army back to escort the food and supplies, and took Miss Jinqiu with him."
Ye Nuan was puzzled: "Why did he take Jin Qiu away?"
Gao Zangfeng scratched his head. "That day, he chased her to the edge of the desert and happened to run into Miss Aqiu. He insisted that Aqiu resembled his deceased sister. Later, he found the Tao family in Dahuang Village and found Jinqiu's clothes and jade pendant. It turned out that she was indeed his niece."
"Jin Qiu is also willing to go back to Beichen with him, and we can't stop him."
Ye Nuan was even more surprised: Village Chief Jin had only said that Jin Qiu was picked up, but it was such a coincidence that he was actually related to Xu Yi.
Ye Nuan instructed He Xin, "You guard Yunjian Farm. I will go back to Luomu City with the city lord."
Qi Wuze and Ye Nuan walked on the snowy road and said to Gao Zangfeng, "Take a thousand men and search the wasteland carefully. Make sure to guard the road leading to the Shentian Pass Fortress. Notify me immediately if you find any news about Baili Zhuo."
Gao Zangfeng took the order and left with his men.
Ye Nuan said worriedly, "Let the wolves and snakes look for him together. Even if they have to dig three feet into the ground, they must find him." Baili Zhuo was like a poisonous snake. She couldn't feel at ease until he was found.
After the four of them returned to the city, Qi Wuze left the two younger ones with their father to take care of them, asked Ye Nuan to rest, and started searching the city with his men.
After searching for five days and turning the entire wasteland upside down, they still couldn't find Baili Zhuo.
Ye Nuan stood in the yard, lost in thought as she watched the sunset. Qi Wuze hurried over and saw her standing in the yard. He unconsciously slowed his pace, walked over, hugged her tightly, and said, "Don't worry, maybe he died in the desert!"
She felt uneasy, always thinking that the hero in the original book would not die so easily.
Qi Wuze, who had been busy for a long time, went to bed early, and Ye Nuan fell asleep very late. At dawn, she suddenly woke up, turned over and sat up, gasping for breath. The noise was so loud that it startled Qi Wuze.
He turned over and sat up, holding the person tightly in his arms and comforting him: "What's wrong?"
"I dreamed that my mother was asking for help!" she urged, "Hurry, get up quickly, we have to leave for Yunjian Farm now!"
It was too dark, and Ye Nuan was in such a hurry that she nearly fell when she got out of bed. Fortunately, Qi Wuze supported her and continued to comfort her, "Don't worry, isn't He Xin at the farm?"
Qi Wuze stood up, helped her pack her clothes and boots, and led a group of people to the outside of Yunjian Farm when the sun came out. Su Shi, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up and ran downstairs with her clothes on, muttering, "Why are you here at this time?"
Ye Nuan was relieved to see that she was fine.
Just as they arrived at Yunjian Farm, a hunting falcon swooped down and landed on Qi Wuze's hand. Qi Wuze took the letter from its feet, read it, and exclaimed in surprise, "Bai Li Zhuo has gone to Luomu City. Ah Nuan, you stay here with your mother. I'll take my men to capture him alive."
Ye Nuan nodded: "Then you should be careful."
Qi Wuze hugged her and rubbed her head: "Well, take care of yourself."
"Yeah." Ye Nuan stood at the farm entrance, watching the horse team disappear into the distance. Looking around, she saw no more desolation. The wind blew the wheat fields, and she smoothed her hair down. She said to He Xin behind her, "Give the farmhands the day off. Have them come back tomorrow afternoon."
He Xin didn't quite understand, but he did it anyway.
The sky was cloudless. Ye Nuan sat on the wooden windmill on the second floor, gazing into the vast distance. The bleating of sheep reached her ears. She glanced sideways and saw He Xin, dressed as a farmhand, sitting on a stool, working hard to milk a sheep.
Su stood by and taught him over and over again without getting tired of it.
He Xin, who had never milked a goat before, was caught off guard by the smell all over his head and face. The warm, goaty smell made him want to vomit. He raised the brim of his hat and asked Su in a low voice, "Miss Ye, are you right? Will Baili Zhuo really come?"
"Just do your thing. Ah Nuan must have her reasons for making such an arrangement."
He Xin looked around and saw that the farm was full of brothers disguised as farmhands. They were not good at their work and could not straighten their backs or bend their legs.
He squeezed the goat's milk and prayed silently: May the blessing come soon, a short pain is worse than a long one!
The ewe was hurt by his pulling, and she kicked her hoof and knocked him over, bleating again.
Ye Nuan chuckled softly. The milky white color reminded her of Chu Xuesong.
He was so cool that he left the village to me without saying a word and ran away!
Where is Xiaobai now in the interior of the country and what is he doing?
As the sky darkened, Ye Nuan called everyone in for dinner. Dinner was simple, a simple, large pot of beef noodles. Everyone sat around, slurping away the food.
Ye Nuan ate and whispered, "You guys go to bed early. I'll have the wolves pay attention to the surroundings in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, be alert and don't fall asleep."
He Xin nodded and looked out as if nothing had happened. The sunset glowed through the clouds, casting a pale golden edge. He slurped the noodles from his bowl, muttering to himself, "Come on, come on!" Even if you don't come, I definitely won't milk the goats tomorrow.
Turning around, Ye Nuan took out a milk can and said to everyone, "Come, try this goat milk. It's fresh milk from the goat your village chief, He!"
The smell was so strong that He Xin's stomach churned and he almost vomited the last mouthful of beef noodles. He quickly stood up and said expressionlessly, "I'm full. I'm going to digest the food first." He walked away quickly, and everyone laughed at his hurried back.
It was completely dark. After washing up, everyone chatted in front of the cabin, just like the farmhands had done before. The noise and laughter spread far and wide. After an hour or so, they all went to sleep one after another. Snoring could be heard, and a disheveled figure appeared behind the cabin. He looked up at the main building, his eyes cold and vicious.
He had gone through so much trouble to reach the wilderness, but he hadn't expected Xu Yi to dare to lead his troops and escape first. The road to Shentian Pass was blocked, and he had been chased for five days, barely surviving. He was constantly on edge, and even his strongest mental strength had begun to break down.
He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to run to the wilderness. The dignified emperor of Beichen has fallen to this point.
He had learned from Luomu City that Beichen was in chaos. Now everything else was secondary and he had to go back first. Qi Wuze had already been lured away by him. If he could capture Ye Nuan at night, he would not only be able to escape the wasteland but also make a comeback.
The cold moon shone on the fields. Baili Zhuo was hiding in the dark, waiting quietly. At the moment when night and day alternated, everything was silent and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
He advanced silently along the route he had observed, climbing over the fence and lightly leaping onto the wooden window. Through the crack in the window, he could see a strand of hair peeking out from the bedside. The corners of his lips curled up, and a silver needle flashed in his hand, shooting towards the person on the bed.
There was no movement.
Baili Zhuo's eyes flickered, and he suddenly became alert. Just as he was about to jump out of the window, he was hit on the back and fell straight into the house. The window slammed shut, and he reacted quickly, kicking the door open and running out. He missed the gleaming black gold knife by a centimeter, and his neck collided with it.
He leaned back, his hair sliding down his cheek, and a foot kicked him hard in the injured abdomen. Qi Wuze sneered arrogantly: "A Nuan's guess was right, this grandson is here after all."
Baili Zhuo was kicked and slammed against the wall, sliding down the wall. His abdomen, which had just healed, began to bleed again. He struggled to get up and met Qi Wuze's frivolous eyes through the pale moonlight: "You guessed it a long time ago?"
Qi Wuze remembered his wife's words: The villain dies because he talks too much!
He raised his knife and slashed. Baili Zhuo had no weapon in his hand, so he could only roll over and over, waiting for the right moment to run to the second-floor terrace. The terrace was empty except for a large spinning kite.
Qi Wuze chased and hacked at him, like a cat playing with a mouse, each strike failing to hit a vital point. Baili Zhuo knew he was teasing him, yet he relished the humiliating mockery. He fought and retreated, when suddenly flames lit up around the farm. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Ye Nuan standing on the pasture, smiling, along with a crowd of others watching the excitement.
"Aze, he's injured, don't be soft-hearted, blow his head off!"
"Aze, cut his face and make him kneel down and beg for mercy!"
"Aze..."
The clamor around them was too harsh. Baili Zhuo's head was buzzing from the beating, and his eyes were unfocused as he looked at Ye Nuan. At this moment, he was not willing to eat her flesh and shave her bones.
He is the emperor, he is the master of Beichen, he will not die!
Even if I die, I will kill this bitch first!
Baili Zhuo roared and suddenly ran towards Ye Nuan, jumping down from the terrace several meters high. At this distance, if he fought hard, he was sure to grab Ye Nuan's throat.
Qi Wuze, who was standing behind him, sneered and kicked him hard in the back, while shouting at Ye Nuan, "Madam, get out of the way!"
Ye Nuan and He Xin, who were originally yelling and cursing downstairs, instantly spread out in a big circle.
The sudden force caused Baili Zhuo to lose his aim, sending him plummeting to the ground. Under the moonlight, the pitch-black ground shone coldly, its surface thick with sharp blades, a dense mass that was unnerving.
In a flash, Baili Zhuo thought of countless ways, but before he could figure out a solution, he fell directly into the sea of blades.
Puff, chi!
Blood splattered all over the ground, staining the cold tip of the knife red.
The emperor stared at Ye Nuan fiercely with his eyes wide open...
Qi Wuze, who had come downstairs at some point, covered Ye Nuan's eyes with his hands, pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "Don't look, it's disgusting!"
Ye Nuan, who had been fine at first, felt her stomach churning when she heard these two words. She pushed Qi Wuze away and ran to the edge of the pasture and started retching.
Qi Wuze ran to her side and called to He Xin, "Quickly clean up, you scared my wife!"
She vomited acid for several rounds but couldn't vomit anything out. Qi Wuze stroked her back, and when she felt better, he picked her up.
"Don't think about anything. Go to sleep with your husband first."
Her sleep was chaotic, with reality and dreams intertwined. In her dream, she browsed through the novel again. The last chapter was full of criticism, and someone disgruntled and spread rumors below: "I should have known not to read the extra chapters. Why did the hero and heroine suddenly die? This death is too sudden!"
[Yeah, I was caught off guard and was completely confused. What a terrible ending! The hero and heroine died, but the supporting actress is still alive and well, with both sons and daughters, and a happy marriage!]
[Protest, I'm going to send you razor blades! ]
The author was stubborn and updated another chapter. When people clicked on it, they found it was a special chapter about the female and male supporting roles. It was surprisingly sweet after reading it.
The next day, the internet was full of requests for updates.
[Please open another article. The titles are already chosen: "The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack Guide", "The Straight Male City Lord's Imagination Daily", and "The Sweet Couple of Wasteland Thieves"]
[Same as above, the original story tells us how terrible love-brain can be—it can be deadly!]
After a few days of shouting, the author who had disappeared suddenly appeared and replied in unison: In response to everyone's request, a new post titled "Female Supporting Character Has a Good Life!" has been opened next door.
