Yan Xi found himself in a wobbly carriage in a daze.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Murong Xing with tear marks on her face.
He shook his head and sat up straight, "Sister Xing'er?"
When Murong Xing heard this, she quickly wiped away her tears, sniffed, and looked at him calmly, "Yanxi, you're awake."
Yan Xi looked around the carriage, feeling a little confused.
Wasn't he in the courtyard arranged by Xiao Jingwen? How come he woke up in a different place?
I also saw the crying heroine. What happened?
Perhaps sensing his doubts, Murong Xing calmed himself down and forced a faint, unpleasant smile. "I took advantage of the chaos in the capital to rescue you. Now, we are on our way to Fengyang Country. There is someone I know in Fengyang Country who will take us in."
In fact, it was Chu Junyao who sneaked into the villa and rescued Yan Xi, but when he was about to return to the Shangshu Mansion, he found that Chu Shangshu had been captured by the Fourth Prince. Chu Junyao wanted to rescue him, and she originally wanted to accompany him, but Chu Junyao knocked her unconscious and ordered people to escort the two of them out of the capital at full speed.
Thinking of this, Murong Xing had difficulty breathing and tears kept welling up in his eyes.
"What? Chaos in the capital?!" Yan Xi was shocked, his heart in his throat. "What about my father and elder brother?"
He was trapped in Xiao Jingwen's villa, unable to go out, and had no idea of the earth-shaking changes taking place outside.
But judging from the previous life and the plot, it is roughly understood that the confrontation between Xiao Jingwen and the Fourth Prince in front of the Golden Palace should have been brought forward.
"Yes, during the time you were away, the Fourth Prince rebelled and killed His Majesty. Prince Jin led his troops back to the capital to purge the emperor's court. As for Uncle Chu and Big Brother Chu..." Murong Xing trembled slightly, trying to control himself, and spoke with difficulty, "Uncle Chu was taken away by the Fourth Prince. Big Brother Chu... went to rescue him. Before he left, he told me that if... he and Uncle couldn't come back alive, I would take you far away and live a good life..."
Instantly, half the color faded from Yan Xi's face, "Fourth Prince... No, I want to go back."
Murong Xing held him down, her eyes red. "Yanxi, calm down. I don't want to abandon them either, but we don't have any martial arts skills. Going back will only cause more trouble and lead to our own deaths. We can't do anything. Besides...your eldest brother wants us to live well. We can't let him down."
Yan Xi opened his mouth, and his heart ached dully, feeling very uncomfortable.
He lost his parents early, and after traveling through time, Chu Junyao and Chu Shangshu were particularly kind to him. He had long regarded them as his own relatives.
He couldn't just leave them alone.
However, as Murong Xing said, he was a weak man and could do nothing.
At this time, he hated himself so much that he couldn't do anything. It would be great if he knew martial arts too.
However, it was clearly not like this in his previous life, and his father and elder brother were never involved.
Why has this life changed so much?
Murong Xing knew he was upset, so she hugged him tightly, suppressing the fear in her heart, and comforted him, "Yanxi, we must live well and wait for them to come find us. Even... even if they are gone, I will be with you."
Yan Xi's lips moved, his throat felt rough, "...Okay."
On the other side, Xiao Jingwen was still dealing with the mess left by Xiao Jingyan.
Suddenly, Lan Yi, who was responsible for taking care of Yan Xi, hurried into the palace to ask for a meeting.
Hearing that she was coming, Xiao Jingwen's face darkened.
As expected, when Lan Yi saw him, he fell to his knees and trembled, "The young master is gone."
Xiao Jingwen stood up suddenly, his face livid, "When did this happen?!"
"About three quarters past morning." Lan Yi didn't dare to look up at him, and cold sweat broke out.
At three quarters past the hour of Mao, he was leading his troops into the palace.
It is now the hour of Xu, seven hours have passed, and the person has already disappeared!
Xiao Jingwen took a deep breath, suppressing his overwhelming anger, and the coldness in his eyes condensed, "Why are you reporting it now?"
"I was drugged and knocked unconscious, that's why... I deserve to die, please punish me, master." Lan Yi felt cold all over and secretly hated herself for not being careful and getting ambushed.
Xiao Jingwen glanced at her coldly, "Did you see clearly who it was?"
Lan Yi's heart sank again. "I didn't see clearly, but... when I came here, I checked the people nearby. Someone seemed to have seen a man and a woman appear nearby at that time. The man called the woman 'Xing'er', so I guess... it might be Miss Murong Fifth."
"Mu, Rong, Xing!" Xiao Jingwen pronounced the name word by word, clenched his fists and made a clenching sound.
He exudes an extremely dangerous aura.
His eyes at this moment are so cold that they don't seem like those of a human being.
Lan Yi knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound. He took a quick glance and suddenly felt goose bumps on his back. He felt a chill and his brain seemed to be controlled by someone. For a moment, he lost consciousness.
