The middle-aged man stared at Gu Yuancheng, not missing any subtle expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, even after saying this, the child in front of him still looked as if he was as still as a mountain. He was not angry, and continued to speak without thinking:

"You two kids...are not too far apart in age, so you must have a lot in common. You've been fleeing from the capital to the northern border, so naturally you've developed a lot of feelings for each other. Since you have such a good relationship, why doesn't she accompany you to seek revenge?"

"Xiao Cheng, you are always smart. How about you guess carefully? Years ago, the Sheng family sent Lin Shaoxuan and his son to lead people to explore the terrain of the Evil Dragon Swamp. They clearly sent a letter saying that they had figured out the way, but why was there no movement after that? Ten months ago, the Lin family father and son even sent back a letter asking for help from the Evil Dragon Swamp?"

"I heard that the little kid from the Sheng family is a man of loyalty and righteousness. Guess what, if someone uses the safety of the Lin family father and son to lure her over, and then uses the most powerful magic poison in the world to set up a trap specifically for her, what do you think the chances are that she can come out alive?"

The middle-aged man paused deliberately when he said this, and he obviously felt that Gu Yuancheng's breathing was disordered, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha - why are you still wearing that pretentious expression? Gu Yuancheng, you are panicking too, right? If anything happens to her, it's because of you. Because you refused to take her with you and left her alone in Nanqi."

"She...she is still in Nanyang County, and she has left many people to protect her. She can't do anything wrong, you are talking nonsense!"

Gu Yuancheng shook his head. Although his tone was firm, it seemed as if he was unwilling to face reality and was stubbornly deceiving himself.

"Hahaha——Don't fool yourself. She knew that it would be dangerous for you to come to Beichen Country, so why didn't she come to help you? There are only two possibilities, either she is really in danger, or you are not important at all! Hahaha——"

The middle-aged man seemed to have noticed that the two kids had a good relationship, and he said this deliberately to hurt Gu Yuancheng.

Seeing that Gu Yuancheng was really in pain because of the last word, and his body was shaking, he knew that the time was right, and immediately pressed several mechanisms on the wall.

After a series of rolling noises, a huge iron cage suddenly fell on Gu Yuancheng's head!

Hundreds of people hiding in the woods outside seemed to have received instructions, and suddenly rushed out and attacked the dozens of people brought by Gu Yuancheng!

They had already transferred a large number of troops to rescue Xuan Ling and others. Now they only have so few people left. How can they defeat such a large number of people? !

"Hahaha - so what if I guessed it? How do you know that he wasn't waiting here on purpose, just to catch you all in one fell swoop?"

"Yeah, that's what we thought. I'm trying to get you to confess. When Xiao Cheng talked to you before, I wasn't trying to get the truth, but to buy time. Understand?"

The middle-aged man was still grinning with a confident look on his face, but he was not prepared when a very sweet baby voice suddenly came from behind him.

Before he could stop retreating, I felt a chill on my back.

A sharp dagger took advantage of his backward movement and pierced directly into his back!

At the same time, the iron cage that was shielding Gu Yuancheng just stopped in the air. The child in front of him shot up, and while he was unable to move due to being held down by the dagger, he drew out his long sword and stabbed him in the chest.

"Puff--puff--"

The sounds of two weapons penetrating flesh rang out one after another.

However, because there was no leather pad to block it, it penetrated deeply into the middle-aged man's flesh.

And from the bushes further away, a hundred or so figures in black suddenly jumped out and joined the melee outside. Upon closer inspection, they were clearly Xuan Ling and the others who had been led away earlier!

In a flash, the situation turned around!

Unlike his pale face when he pretended to be sick before, the middle-aged man's face was actually blue and as pale as paper.

Even though he was extremely weak at this moment, and was only able to maintain his sitting position by supporting himself with his two weapons, he had not yet recovered from the shock, and his eyes were fixed on the kid in front of him.

"You...you...actually..."

Gu Yuancheng curled his lips calmly:

"Master, since I have guessed how powerful you are, how can I not make more preparations?"

"Bang--"

As the young boy pulled out the long sword that had pierced his chest, the middle-aged man had no more strength to hold on and fell to the ground. At this point, no matter how much reluctance he felt in his heart, he had already given up.

Behind him, Sheng Nancy was surprisingly quiet today. Without saying a word, she pressed several acupoints on the man and put him into the space.

Previously, when she and Xiao Cheng attacked, they both had a tacit understanding and did not hit the opponent's vital points. They were just waiting to throw this person into the space, give him a few injections of truth serum, and extract more useful information.

For example, how did he predict the plot in advance, what was his ultimate goal in controlling the little brother and the royal families of various countries, and those residual forces and industries...

She is very interested in these...

After all, this man fooled the royal families of various countries around, which shows that he is very cunning. Simple rhetoric will definitely not have much effect!

Sheng Nanxi was in a bad mood today. After throwing the person into the space for Zhaocai to watch, she walked out without looking back.

"Xi...Xi'er..."

Gu Yuancheng wanted to say that it was thanks to Sheng Nanxi's arrival in time, otherwise he would have to spend more effort to kill this fake master today.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the hem of the little girl's clothes, he was slapped away by a claw. From beginning to end, she didn't even look at him.

Gu Yuancheng touched his nose and seemed to realize where he had done wrong.

It was clearly agreed that good friends should be honest with each other, but he secretly arranged to go back to Beichen Kingdom to pick up his father and Xiao Jiuer without telling Xiao Xier, and he left without even saying hello.

Seeing that girl's short legs walking very fast, she reached the door in a few steps. Gu Yuancheng suddenly felt flustered, and took a few steps forward and held her small fleshy hand tightly. Sincere apology:

"Xi...Xi'er, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept your return to Beichen secret from you, and I shouldn't have left without saying a word, or even quietly left when you were sleeping."

"I know you are so angry because you are worried about your safety. But the reason why you dare to take the risk to come to Beichen is because we have been preparing for several months and have already been sure of victory."

"And... moreover, you have been using a lot of energy to build a floor heating greenhouse in Nanyang County in those few months. I couldn't bear to see you working so hard for this matter, so... that's why I didn't tell you..."

The young boy lowered his head very low, and he didn't know when six homemade petal lollipops appeared in his hands.

The murderous aura that was filled with him earlier suddenly disappeared, and he no longer had the ruthless look he had when facing his old enemy. He became as obedient as a wronged puppy that had made a mistake and was waiting for punishment from its master.

"I'm sorry...Xier, I know I was wrong..."

Slurp——

It has been a long time since I had Xiao Tai's homemade lollipops. When I saw those colorful crystal-like candies in front of me, I swallowed my saliva unconsciously.

She immediately realized something was wrong and immediately frowned:

"Don't use these tricks to fool children! Gu Yuancheng, you are really impatient! Do you think you can be fine just because you have put on a seamless outfit? Little do you know that outsiders are more dangerous than others. What if the other party has some powerful trump card hidden? Wouldn't you fall into a big trap?!"

"Still, didn't you say you were tired and needed a rest? Even if you needed a rest, you should have made your own decision. You kept it a secret and thought you were making the decision for me. What's that?!"

Sheng Nanxi herself didn't realize that the main reason she was so furious was because she was too worried about her little brother.

Earlier, she had been hiding in the dark, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the middle-aged man. But when she saw the iron cage falling and the people brought by Gu Yuancheng being besieged by a large number of men in black, her heart was in her throat.

Fortunately, she still had some rationality left, knowing that Xiao Cheng must have planned it long ago. She waited until the best moment and stabbed the old man to the bone.

Gu Yuancheng was stunned for a moment. As if he was suddenly enlightened by her words, his face was filled with shame. He took out a few more lollipops and held them in his hands, his head lower than before:

"I'm sorry, Xi'er. I'm probably like many people in this world. I think women are weak and should be protected by men, so I subconsciously made the decision for you."

"You are very strong and fully capable of protecting yourself and making your own decisions. You should not always think that men are in a superior position and deprive you of your right to make decisions."

"I promise...I promise that this will never happen again. Can you...will you forgive me?"
