After Xie Yunjiao and the others made some preparations, they were ready to set off. Lian Yan asked Xie Yunjiao to wait for a while, saying that Old Lady Lian had not returned yet.
She would definitely be sad if she couldn't see them.
Xie Yunjiao thought that they had not agreed on a time with anyone, and leaving later would not have much impact, so she stayed at the gate of Lian Mansion and continued waiting.
As time passed, Lian Yan's face showed worry. He said to himself, "Why haven't you come back in so long?"
Xie Yunjiao and the others were still patient, but those from the White Wolf Alliance guarding outside were becoming impatient.
Especially the Great Elder, who was still able to stand well at first, but after a while, he began to lean on the pillar beside him, and now he is slumped on the ground.
Holding a handful of peanuts in his hand, he peeled the shells while muttering to himself.
Bei Ming squatted down consciously and reached out to grab the peanuts in the elder's hand, but was hit by the elder: "You are not allowed to eat them. If you want to eat them, go buy them yourself."
Bei Ming looked at his beaten hand and looked at the elder with grievance: "Can't you just give me a few?"
"No, who knows when we can leave? If I finish eating, there won't be any left." The elder said, "If you want to eat, go buy it yourself."
Bei Ming wanted to buy it, but he was afraid that if he left right after that, he would be scolded later.
Suddenly, a paper bag appeared in front of him. It should be filled with five-spice peanuts, because he could smell the strong aroma of five-spice peanuts through the bag.
“Smells so good!”
Bei Ming raised his head, it was Nan Feng!
"Is it for me?" Bei Ming asked.
Nanfeng hasn't been in a good mood with him recently. He felt that he was crazy for asking this question. How could he buy peanuts for him?
He must have done it to show off to him, just like the Great Elder did.
Nanfeng looked at Beiming's hesitant expression and couldn't help but frowned. He handed the bag over a little more and said, "Take it quickly if you want to eat it."
Seeing that Bei Ming didn't move, the Great Elder reached out to grab it: "He doesn't want it, give it to me."
As a result, Nanfeng retracted his hand and put it behind his back.
The Great Elder missed his attack, stumbled and almost fell.
"Nanfeng, you brat!" The Great Elder looked at the peanuts in his arms scattered all over the ground, and he couldn't get Nanfeng's five-spice peanuts, so he couldn't help but want to curse.
Nan Feng was not afraid at all. He glanced at the Great Elder and said, "If you want to eat, buy it yourself."
Bei Ming looked at the elder's frustrated look and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "That's right, if you want to eat, buy it yourself!"
He stretched out his hand to Nanfeng, and Nanfeng immediately handed the peanuts in his hand to Beiming.
Bei Ming happily took the bag, put his hand on Nan Feng's shoulder and said, "You are indeed my good brother."
At this moment, Nanfeng's expression suddenly changed. He glanced at Beiming's hand on his shoulder, and his body stiffened.
Bei Ming felt Nan Feng's body stiffen, and he turned to look at Nan Feng in surprise.
At this moment, Nanfeng shook off Beiming's hand and said seriously, "Don't touch me."
Bei Ming felt a little aggrieved. He just felt that his relationship with Nan Feng was warming up, but Nan Feng suddenly gave him a cold face again.
He was a little confused as to what had happened to Nanfeng.
In the past, he would also be close to Nanfeng, and he didn't dislike him like he does now.
"I say, what have you been doing recently?" Bei Ming said to Nan Feng dissatisfiedly.
Nanfeng's expression changed and he turned his head away, not daring to look at Beiming. He was afraid that if he looked at Beiming, Beiming would see what was hidden in his eyes.
"Dad, where did grandma go? Did something happen to her?" Gu Huai asked.
Lian Yan also began to worry. His mother was not usually like this and had no sense of time at all.
Could something really have happened?
He didn't dare to hide anything and hurriedly said to Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai, "Your grandmother said she was worried about your safety when you go out, so she went to the City God Temple to ask for amulets for your safety."
Gu Huai said, "Dad, the City God Temple is outside the city, between two cities. It's very dangerous. How can you let her go out alone?"
The governor of another city was killed and now he is replaced by Prince Duan's men.
Although that person coveted Ye Baien's strength and did not dare to come out to cause trouble, he was on high alert and would never let Ye Baien and his men break down the city gate.
Originally they were in a state of confrontation, and neither could find a way to deal with the other.
But now even the old lady suddenly went to the City God Temple. Doesn’t this give the enemy an opportunity?
Lian Yan also knew that as long as he told this, Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao would definitely talk about him.
He said to Gu Huai, "But the City God Temple is very effective. Not only our people here, but also people from other cities go there to pray for blessings and seek peace amulets."
Xie Yunjiao said, "Dad, if it were normal, there would be no problem, but now is a critical moment, it is very dangerous.
Forget it, let’s go to the City God Temple quickly.”
Xie Yunjiao looked at Gu Huai, and Gu Huai nodded to Xie Yunjiao. The two jumped on their horses and prepared to set off.
At this moment, the old nanny beside Old Madam Lian stumbled back, covered in blood and looking panicked. When she saw Lian Yan and the others, she fell to her knees and said, "Master, something happened! The old lady has been arrested!"
Lian Yan's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
"What did you say? My mother..."
"This is a letter left by the bad guys," the old nanny quickly handed it to Lian Yan, "Master, you must rescue the old lady."
Lian Yan's hands were shaking so badly that he could hardly take the letter handed to him by the old nanny.
The letter was covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was from the old nanny or the old lady.
Gu Huai jumped off his horse and helped Lian Yan take the letter from the old nanny. He unfolded it and read it in front of Lian Yan.
It was a letter written by Guo Ping, the governor of another city. The letter threatened Lian Yan to open the city gate before tomorrow and let him in, otherwise old lady Lian would have no way out!
"Damn it! How can I let him get what he wants!" Lian Yan said gritting his teeth.
But if I don't agree, then the old lady might...
"Dad, don't worry, we will find a way to rescue grandma." Xie Yunjiao said.
Lian Yanzheng's head was in a mess now. He regretted very much that he should not have agreed to let Old Lady Lian go out.
At the same time, he was in a dilemma, because he had been defending the city for so long just to help Gu Huai hold the last city, and he didn't want to give it up at such a critical moment.
He hesitated for a moment and said to Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao, "My mother will understand our difficulties."
Xie Yunjiao's expression changed, and her expression became more and more determined as she looked at Lian Yan.
Knowing that Lian Yan had made up his mind to give up on saving Old Lady Lian, she hurriedly said to Lian Yan, "Dad, you absolutely cannot do that!"
"I have made up my mind. After I die, I will go to the underworld and apologize to your grandmother." Lian Yan said.
