As the sun rose, Fan Xilou led his entourage away from the Lin residence.
He hated parting, and this time he left without saying goodbye to anyone in the Lin family.
After all, everything that needed to be said had already been said last night.
Soon Fan Xilou led his convoy out of the city.
After leaving Chongqing, head south for about half a month to reach the Fan residence.
The weather was cool in the early morning, so Fan Xilou asked the driver to drive faster so that they could cover more distance and rest a little longer by noon.
Heading south from Chongqing, although the roads are all official roads, there is a section that runs along a cliff, making the terrain extremely treacherous.
The roadside is also covered with extremely dense woods, and this section of the road is an accident-prone area due to its special geographical environment.
Fearing an accident, Fan Xilou instructed the driver to slow down and proceed cautiously at this point in the journey.
For some reason, he hadn't encountered a single caravan along the way.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and Fan Xilou felt uneasy.
However, this was the only route south from Chongqing, so even though he was uneasy, he still ordered the convoy to move forward.
As they reached the most treacherous section of the road, Fan Xilou's unease intensified, and he shouted, "Wait a minute!"
The convoy stopped, and he sent someone ahead to scout the way.
As a result, the person who went to scout ahead was shot dead by an arrow.
Fan Xilou was startled and immediately ordered his men to jump off the carriage, find cover, and then devise a way to fight back.
Zhou Chenyang kicked the servant next to him: "Who told you to do that!"
His attendant also complained, "You said before that as long as they come over, we should just shoot them dead."
Zhou Chenyang slapped him again: "I meant that after they entered our encirclement, we would shoot them all dead."
"They're not within our encirclement yet. If you kill them, they won't come any closer. How are we supposed to make our move?" (M.cascoo.net)
The attendant covered his face and whispered, "The city lord said before that their team only has two bodyguards, and the rest are just ordinary coachmen."
"Even if these men don't enter our encirclement, we can still kill them all."
Zhou Chenyang glared at the servant and said coldly, "Now we have no choice but to go and chop them down. I'm really going to be driven crazy by you!"
When Ye Jingxian hit him that night, it was just a superficial injury, not serious.
The medicine Hongxiu gave him was extremely effective in treating external injuries. After applying it for two days, although he still walked with a slight limp, he was basically able to walk again.
Ye Jingxian gave him only a short time; if Lin Xiuyan didn't come out, the time would be exceeded.
Because of what happened last time, he could no longer send people to raid the Lin residence at night.
Knowing that Fan Xilou was leaving Chongqing today, he brought his men to guard the city early in the morning.
Zhou Chenyang then planned to kill all of Fan Xilou's guards, rob him of his goods and silver, and then use Fan Xilou to lure out Lin Xiuyan and the Prince of Pingnan.
Then he will lay a trap and capture them all.
His plan was perfect, but reality was a bit harsh; from the very beginning, it was different from what he had imagined.
He couldn't block the road for too long, so he said coldly, "Men, kill everyone except Fan Xilou!"
The servants responded and immediately went to join the Fan family's caravan.
Fan Xilou immediately took out the weapon Lin Xiuyan had given him to prepare for battle, but he knew clearly in his heart that there were too many people coming and they were no match for them.
Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Just as the two groups of people were about to clash, the sound of arrows cutting through the air rang out from all around, and sharp arrows shot towards the attendants brought by Zhou Chenyang.
Fan Xilou was somewhat surprised. He heard a cold laugh and then saw Lin Xiuyan, along with the servants of the Lin family, jump down from a tree with ropes tied around their waists.
Each of them held a crossbow, and the sound of the crossbow whistling through the air indicated that an enemy had been killed with each arrow fired.
Lin Xiuyan moved with a light and graceful gait, swinging along the rope and soaring into the air like a startled swan, leaving Fan Xilou stunned.
Since the crisis that night, the servants of the Lin family have shown remarkable growth.
Today, as I followed Lin Xiuyan to commit murder, I no longer felt the fear and awkwardness of the first time.
Fan Xilou looked at Lin Xiuyan with some surprise: "Miss Lin, what brings you here?"
After Lin Xiuyan shot and killed the assassin behind him with an arrow, she replied, "I've come to save you!"
She knew Zhou Chenyang well; given his personality, he wouldn't let Fan Xilou leave so easily, so he would definitely take action this time.
That's why she let Fan Xilou stay at the Lin residence for another night, so that she could make the necessary arrangements overnight.
As Fan Xilou watched her nimbly leap down, he felt that she was radiating light.
His face flushed slightly; she was so beautiful that he couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.
The next moment, however, an assassin's head was chopped off and rolled to his side.
He was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw Ye Junfei. He immediately suppressed his restless heart.
He greeted Ye Junfei: "Young Master Ye, you've arrived too!"
Ye Junfei smiled gently: "Yes, I'm here too. Aren't you happy?"
After he finished speaking, he kicked the head off the cliff.
Fan Xilou: "...Happy!"
Ye Junfei's gaze lingered on his neck for a moment, and he felt a chill on his neck.
He cowardly hid behind the carriage.
Ye Junfei snorted and ignored him.
Lin Xiuyan came here last night to make arrangements, which made Ye Junfei quite unhappy.
After all, her nights originally belonged to Ye Junfei, who could hold her sweet and soft body as he fell asleep, spending time just for the two of them.
As a result, she stayed up all night to come here because of Fan Xilou. If he wasn't afraid of angering Lin Xiuyan, he probably would have killed Fan Xilou on the spot.
When he saw Fan Xilou, he naturally wouldn't give him a pleasant look.
With him around, ordinary guards were no match for him, as easy as chopping a radish.
Lin Xiuyan sensed the murderous aura emanating from him and felt a chill run down her spine.
Fearing he might lose his mind again due to the shock of blood, she quickly went over and took his hand, asking, "Are you alright?"
Ye Junfei turned to her, and she quickly added, "Killing people is tiring, Your Highness should rest first."
"I want to use these people to train my men. I'll leave the dirty work of killing to them."
Ye Junfei saw through her little scheme, but didn't say anything, since she had taken his hand first.
He wondered to himself whether he should pretend to be crazy again and coax her into hugging and kissing him.
Lin Xiuyan added, "Young Master Fan must be terrified this time. Young Master, go and keep him company."
She called Fan Xilou over, then picked up her knife and rushed to attack the assassins again.
Ye Junfei looked at Fan Xilou.
Fan Xilou: "..."
Fan Xilou: "!!!!!!!"
He felt that the most dangerous thing in the world was being with Ye Junfei!
