Chapter 209
Before arriving, Song Xuan had already ordered Yang Quanwei to send reinforcements, but he himself couldn't wait and led his men to rescue Shen Qingnian first.
Who would have thought that the people who kidnapped Shen Qingnian were the entire Xiuyi Tower, numbering over a hundred. When Song Xuan led his men there, they were discovered by the bandits, making things extremely difficult for them.
After seeing Shen Qingnian leave, Song Xuan focused all his attention on the fight. He was highly skilled in martial arts and easily dealt with the two bandits.
However, these bandits were numerous, and he only brought about ten men. Although each of them was highly skilled in martial arts, they still faced great difficulties due to the overwhelming number of the enemy.
Song Xuan was blinded by rage, and his own strength gradually gave out. Jin Yi took several blows for him, but he was also injured in the process.
The bandits recognized Song Xuan as their leader, so they all drew their knives and attacked him, trapping the men he had brought with them.
Song Xuan was imposing. He brandished his longsword, taking down one bandit after another. As the number of corpses at his feet increased, the coldness of his sword also subsided.
The bandits beside him noticed that he was exhausted, and with a shout, they used all their strength to stab him with their long knives.
Song Xuan was weak and, upon seeing the long blade thrusting towards him, he realized he had no way to dodge. The blade was aimed at his heart, and if he were stabbed, even a celestial being could not save him.
His pupils contracted sharply, and the image of Shen Qingnian's bloodstained face, as well as the figures of the two little ones, Xiao Yanqing and Xiao Shenxi, flashed through his mind.
This trip to Jiangnan was something he had never anticipated, something he had dared not even dare to dream of in his countless midnight dreams...
If, if he really did die here, would she be sad for him? Yan Qingnian is still young, how could he shoulder such a great responsibility?
In less than a breath, Song Xuan's thoughts were racing. Just as the long sword was about to pierce his outer robe and cut through his chest, the sword stopped.
Shen Qingnian arrived with a long sword in hand, accompanied only by Zhou Shiyu.
At this moment, the long sword in Shen Qingnian's hand had already pierced the bandit's back. Song Xuan could even see the tip of the blood-stained sword piercing through the bandit's chest, which showed how much force had been used.
Blood trickled from the corner of the bandit's mouth as he collapsed to the ground, while Shen Qingnian trembled all over, her eyes filled with terror.
When she saw the man in danger, she felt her heart almost stop. Without thinking too much, she drew the long sword from Zhou An's waist and stabbed it fiercely into the bandit's back.
It's better to let her die than to have a man die in front of you.
Song Xuan looked at the woman before him, blinked his slightly sore eyes, and tried to move his arm, but found he couldn't lift it at all. He could only say, "Qing Nian, you've come to save me..."
The next moment, he fell to the ground, and Shen Qingnian quickly stepped forward to support him.
Song Xuan has been holding on until now, but he is already at his last gasp.
The battle inside the courtyard was also coming to an end. Zhou Shiyu joined the fray, leaving only Scarface unresolved.
Shen Qingnian helped the man up with some difficulty and found a wall to settle him down.
Looking at Zhou Shiyu's side, although Scarface was injured, Zhou Shiyu was only a centurion, and with his superior skills, it would still be somewhat difficult for him to subdue Scarface.
Shen Qingnian felt sore all over. She picked up the long knife from the ground and walked towards the scar, wanting to help.
A moment later, Scarface was dealt with by Zhou Shiyu, but Zhou Shiyu himself was also injured and fainted after his eyes rolled back.
Just now, Shen Qingnian ran out with Xiao Xi and Yan Qing, and on the way they met Zhou An and Zhou Shiyu. The two told her that the government had not sent any reinforcements, and that tonight was likely to be a dangerous night.
Shocked and furious, she immediately handed Xiao Xi and Yan Qing over to Zhou An, asking him to take the two little ones back first, while she herself returned with Zhou Shiyu.
