Xu Guang knelt on the ground, looking at him in disbelief.

The blood in his eyes was still flowing, and soon the ground turned bright red. The henchmen behind him were trembling with fear. One of them screamed and ran away, and the rest also threw away their weapons and ran away, like birds and beasts. Only Zhao Li was left standing beside Xu Guang, but he was also scared silly.

The soldiers on horseback ordered people to chase.

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

Pei Yuan was full of murderous intent. He jumped off his horse, held his long sword across Xu Guang's neck, and shouted angrily, "Speak now, I will leave you with an intact body, otherwise I will butcher you alive!"

Xu Guang's face turned pale, and his lips twitched as he looked at him. He suddenly laughed, looking horrible: "You ruined my future, just like killing my parents. It's not a pity for me to die, but I will fight you to the end! Since you care so much about that woman, I will make sure you will never find her. Pei Yuan, do you regret it?"

"You are looking for death!"

Pei Yuan frowned, and suddenly pulled out the arrow in Xu Guang's eye, blood spurted out, Xu Guang collapsed to the ground with a scream, "Ah!" He rolled over and cried, "My eyes, my eyes!"

Pei Yuan glanced coldly at Zhao Li beside him. Zhao Li had wet his pants with fear and stood there with trembling hands. Pei Yuan walked over, pinched the back of his neck and pressed him against the wall, his eyes ferocious: "Where is my wife?"

Zhao Li swallowed his saliva and was about to speak when Xu Guang shouted, "If you say one more word, I will kill your mother!"

Zhao Li burst into tears, "I don't know, I don't know..."

Pei Yuan's forehead was bulging with veins, and his hands slowly tightened. His emotions were on the verge of getting out of control, and there was only one thing in his mind:

kill them, kill them. If something happens to Baoning, they will all die, all of them!

Zhao Li's neck was strangled, his legs were kicking, his eyes rolled back, and he was about to die. Xu Guang slowly stood up and said with a curl of his lips: "Aren't you looking for that woman? Let me tell you where I took her?"

Pei Yuan let go of his hand. He turned around, stared at Xu Guang with his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Where is she?"

Xu Guang's eyes were provocative, and he said to him in a hollow voice: "Dead."

He laughed wildly: "Pei Yuan, you didn't expect it, you were so powerful for so many years, but in the end you couldn't even protect a woman! Do you want to know how she died?"

Pei Yuan's fingertips holding the handle of the knife turned white, and he stared at Xu Guang as if he wanted to eat him. When Xu Guang continued: " I raped her and killed her. I was still inside her, with my hands around her neck, strangling her to death bit by bit! She was so beautiful, with stunningly beautiful eyes, and she cried and begged me to let her go..."

Pei Yuan let out a beast-like roar, and then he swung his long sword. A silver light flashed, and with the sound of flesh being cut, Xu Guang was cut in half from the waist. Intestines flowed out, and

a strong smell of blood filled his face. Xu Guang's eyes widened, and he couldn't even scream, and he squirmed on the ground.

The team of soldiers who came earlier had never thought that such a thing would happen. Facing the tragic scene, they all took a breath of cold air.

Pei Yuan seemed to be addicted to killing. He dragged the bloody long sword to Zhao Li, swung his arm and chopped off his head with one knife!

"Fourth Prince!" The leading soldier's face turned pale and he hurriedly dismounted to dissuade him, "There are people living here, and people come and go frequently. You can't, you can't do this... Oh!"

Pei Yuan stood there covered in blood red, with blood stains on his face, and the muscles on his face were tense and twisted, like an evil ghost from hell.

"I don't care who lives here." He pointed at the alley behind him and said through gritted teeth, "Even if all these houses are demolished, I still have to find the people! I want to see people alive, but I want to see corpses even if I die!"

After saying that, Pei Yuan turned around and stepped on Xu Guang's chest, walking deeper into the alley one step at a time.

...

Baoning rushed into the city just before the city gate closed. She was so tired that she was covered in sweat and felt wet every step she took.

Fortunately, there was no one chasing behind. Baoning thought, maybe the team of soldiers had stopped Xu Guang, or maybe they had lost him. It was safe for now, but Baoning was still worried. She wanted to find her third sister Ji Anlu as soon as possible.

Feng Yongjia was still following her closely.

Baoning looked up at the sign on the roadside, looking for the words "Gujing Restaurant". She had been there before. She remembered that it was a not very tall two-story building, mainly selling noodles. Her third brother-in-law was Zhang Heyu, who was originally a chef in the Duke's Mansion. He had long admired her third sister, but because of their different social status, Duke Rong obstructed her and it didn't work out.

Later, Ji Anlu got engaged and married a bastard from a poor family. The marriage was not smooth, and they divorced within a year. Zhang Heyu was still waiting, and Ji Anlu was moved to marry him. The two finally got married. Duke Rong was furious and threatened to break off relations with her, but he failed to stop her.

Ji Anlu's aunt Liu died early, and she had no relatives and a meager dowry. She borrowed some money from several sisters and opened this restaurant with Zhang Heyu. It is said that the business is good and the two are very loving.

Baoning asked someone for directions and concentrated on finding the place in the direction indicated, not noticing Feng Yongjia's actions behind her.

Feng Yongjia suddenly rushed up and tried to hug her waist from behind. Baoning heard his footsteps and subconsciously squatted down to hide, and Feng Yongjia's rush missed.

Baoning was already in shock. Looking at his sweaty face, he asked loudly, "What did you do?"

"I regret it." Feng Yongjia clenched his fists. "I really regret it. I shouldn't have gambled from the beginning. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen into Xu Guang's trap and ended up in this situation. I don't know what to do now. I can't pay back the money. I dare not go home. My father is still waiting for me. I'm afraid that Xu Guang will seek revenge on him. It doesn't matter if I die. I'm afraid that my father will also be because of me..."

He spoke incoherently and looked sad. "I can't stay in the capital anymore. I'm scared. I have to go. Let me hold you for a while, and then I'll leave..."

Baoning didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore. She backed away, on the side guarding against Feng Yongjia's movements. Seeing that he was about to rush up again, Baoning screamed and turned to run to a crowded place.

People on the street looked over.

"Baoning!" Suddenly, a female voice called her. Baoning turned her head sharply and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw Ji Anlu sticking her head out of the second-floor window.

"Baoning, come to your sister!" Ji Anlu called her anxiously, looking behind her in shock. "Be careful behind you!"

Baoning entered the cafeteria before Feng Yongjia. Then a group of guys with sticks rushed out of the cafeteria, each of them hammered Feng Yongjia in the back with a stick. He screamed a few times and fell down softly.

Zhang Heyu said, "Take this kid to the millstone in the backyard and tie him up!"

Baoning came into the house, wiping away tears, and cried, "Third sister!"

"Sister is here!" Ji Anlu had come down from the building to meet Baoning. Seeing Baoning's tear-stained face, she felt so distressed that she hugged her and patted her back to comfort her. "Okay, Baoning, don't cry. We're home... Why did you get yourself like this?"

...

Baoning took a shower and sat in the room with her arms folded in a daze. She couldn't eat. Her mind was full of Feng Yongjia's face and his wretched appearance. She wanted to vomit when she thought about it.

Today's experience was too adventurous. When she was in it, she could still convince herself to calm down. Now that she was in a safe place, she was scared and flustered.

Ji Anlu used to have a good relationship with her, but after all, they hadn't seen each other for many years. Baoning was embarrassed to cry with Ji Anlu, so she could only bear it.

She tried to sleep, but the slightest movement would wake her up, and she would be covered in cold sweats. Even if she fell asleep, her head was full of nightmares. She didn't dare to sleep, so she sat beside him with the light on, motionless and lost in thought.

Baoning wondered, what was Pei Yuan doing now?

He should have discovered that she was missing a long time ago, so was he looking for her all over the city? From what Feng Yongjia said, Xu Guang wanted to send him a message, lure him over, and then kill him.

Baoning was worried, would something really happen to Pei Yuan?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Baoning felt her heart pounding, and she didn't dare to imagine it. Pei Yuan has a bad leg and limited mobility. Even if he is a martial arts master, it is difficult for him to defeat Xu Guang and his men. What if...

Baoning was panicked and scared. He was the man who was joking with her at noon. Baoning could still remember the warmth of his palms. He would not get into trouble like this.

Baoning suddenly thought of another thing. Could it be

that Pei Yuan could not see that this was a scam? He was such a smart man.

Thinking of this, Baoning grabbed the fabric of her clothes tightly. Could it be that Pei Yuan did not want to save her at all? Would he risk his life? Maybe, in his heart, she was not that important at all.

This realization also made Baoning feel sad.

Bao Ning rested her forehead on her knees, thinking one thing at a time, another thing at a time, and felt a headache, and her arms and legs were also uncomfortable, and she felt uncomfortable everywhere.

"Bao Ning, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Ji Anlu pushed the door open and sat beside her, "What are you thinking about?"

Bao Ning raised her head, her eyelids red: "I want to go home."

Ji Anlu patted her back sympathetically: "Let your brother-in-law take you home early tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, third sister." Bao Ning nodded.

Ji Anlu said: "Okay, go to bed early and get enough rest, otherwise your husband will be heartbroken when he sees you tomorrow."

Bao Ning pursed her lips and smiled. Ji Anlu talked to her for a few more words. She wanted to sleep with Bao Ning, but was rejected. She didn't force it, and closed the door and left.

Baoning blew out the lamp and lay down, thinking in her heart that Pei Yuan might be at home right now, and she would be able to see him when she returned early tomorrow morning.

She controlled herself not to think about those useful and useless things, and stared at the roof with her eyes wide open. After a long while, she felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Baoning didn't know that while she was sleeping sweetly, someone almost tore down half of the street in order to find her.

...

Early the next morning, Baoning was awakened by the noise on the street. She rubbed her eyes, got up, opened the window, and heard the discussion downstairs.

"Have you heard that the fourth prince is crazy again, holding a knife and looking for people all over the street. I don't know which unlucky ghost has provoked him...Will what happened that year happen again?"
