Chapter 403 Who gave you the courage to trespass into the place where I was recuperating?
The light and shadow fell on the Leaping Carp Stage, and his nose was full of blood. The person in front of him was clearly standing with his back to the light, and the outline of his face was dim and unclear, but Tang Ning still recognized him at a glance.
"Brother..."
The mist in her eyes fell unexpectedly, blurring her vision and disturbing Xiao Yan's heart.
He kicked away the person who was trying to get close, and that person's neck was cut off. Xiao Yan looked down at Tang Ning's pale and tearful face, and could vaguely see the blood on her clothes. He couldn't help but panic.
"Tang Ning!"
Xiao Yan picked up Xue Ru and threw her to Di Tao, who was standing beside him with a spear. Then he quickly squatted down and took Tang Ning from the ground into his arms, with an anxious look on his face.
"What's wrong? Where are you hurt? Let me see..."
He lowered his head to check Tang Ning's injuries, but was suddenly hugged by her neck.
The slender and soft thing enveloped his heart. Tang Ning buried her head in his shoulder and cried, "Why did you come back just now..."
"I thought... I thought I wouldn't be able to see you again..."
The little girl was strong. Even when she saw blood everywhere and was being killed, she could still calmly assess the situation and consider her retreat.
But at this moment, leaning against Xiao Yan, she suddenly felt a surge of grievance. She hugged Xiao Yan tightly, tears falling in big drops, wetting his neck in just a moment.
Xiao Yan felt his heart tighten, and the arms around the person couldn't help but tighten.
The scene just now also scared him.
Just a little bit, just a little bit, he almost couldn't save her...
If he had not realized something was wrong after entering the city and had not taken the secret passage to enter the mansion, and if he had not felt uneasy and led Di Tao to Yuelitai first, his little girl would have died here.
Xiao Yan's eyes were red, and his heart tightened as he hugged Tang Ning: "I'm sorry, I'm back late..."
The person at my neck was stunned for a moment, and then cried even harder.
The suppressed crying accompanied by burning tears made Xiao Yan feel distressed.
Beside him, Di Tao was at a loss as to what to do to support Xue Ru, who had just bumped into his arms. Looking at the little girl's pale but beautiful face, his ears turned red.
"Master Governor!"
"Master Governor!"
When Yuejian and Tianqing rushed in and saw Xiao Yan, their faces were filled with surprise. At the same time, people rushed in one after another from the Yueli Terrace. Jinyun, who was supposed to be in the south, appeared beside Xiao Yan with his men.
"Master, there's chaos in the capital. Someone is setting fires everywhere to distract the patrol camp and deliberately luring them towards Jiyun Lane."
"Marquis Wenxin and Marquis Luyang have already arrived outside the palace. They noticed the fight and rushed over with their men..."
Yue Fengcheng and the people he brought into the mansion were just the "vanguard". They seemed to be trying to break into Heli Hall by force, but in fact they were just paving the way for the Marquis of Luyang who came after them.
The wife of the Marquis of Luyang was a daughter of the Lu family who married out. Like Marquis Wenxin, he was in charge of a small portion of the patrol camp's military power, and he was the most important link in exposing Xiao Yanli's departure from the capital and putting him to death tonight.
Hearing this, Tang Ning quickly looked up: "Ah, brother..."
She cried so hard that her throat was a little cramped, and she said anxiously: "It's someone from the Lu family. Yue, Yue Fengcheng led the Lu family in..."
"I know."
Xiao Yan quickly patted Tang Ning's back to let her breathe, then raised his head and said coldly to Jin Yun, "There's no need to stop Marquis Luyang and the others. Capture the people outside who trespassed into Heli Hall. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed."
"Except Yue Fengcheng, the others' life or death does not matter!"
"yes!"
Tang Ning stopped crying: "Brother, Yue Fengcheng is His Majesty..."
Is it okay to touch him?
Xiao Yan understood Tang Ning's meaning and whispered, "It's okay."
A cruel look flashed across his eyes. He had kept Yue Fengcheng's "eyes" before so that Emperor An could feel at ease and use him to "appease" Emperor An.
But he forgot that since Yue Fengcheng dared to betray his loyalty and join Emperor An, he could naturally betray Emperor An and join someone else. Lu Chongyuan was a man who was very good at winning people's hearts, and he could make Yue Fengcheng take risks by promising him benefits.
Xiao Yan's eyes were fierce, but when he reached out his hand and gently stroked the corners of Tang Ning's eyes, which were red from crying, his movements were extremely gentle.
"I know my limits when it comes to Yue Fengcheng. If he dares to hurt you, he'll have to pay with his life."
No matter who he is.
Xiao Yan bent down and kissed her eyes, then pulled Tang Ning up and intertwined his fingers with hers.
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you vent your anger."
All of Tang Ning's anxiety disappeared in her clasped hands. Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to take her out, she grabbed Xiao Yan's hand and stopped.
When he looked back, Tang Ning turned around and reached out to Xue Ru. When Xue Ru hesitantly approached, Tang Ning took her cold hand and turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Brother, let's go."
Xiao Yan glanced at Xue Ru before turning around and walking out.
The three of them left Yuelitai one after another. Di Tao stood by the lake, feeling the cool night breeze. He looked at Xiao Yan, who had completely ignored him from beginning to end, and opened his mouth sadly while holding his spear.
Don’t they feel like they’ve forgotten something?
…
The people Jinyun brought with him were all elite secret guards brought back from the previous southward expedition. Together with the people Xiao Yan brought back from the northwest, the originally one-sided fight outside Heli Hall was instantly reversed.
As screams rang out, the sounds of fighting outside gradually died down. By the time Yue Fengcheng realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, it was too late. Everyone around him was killed.
Yue Fengcheng was kicked on the ankle by Jinyun. When he fell to his knees with a bang, he looked up and saw someone walking out of Heli Hall.
"Superintendent...Superintendent..."
Yue Fengcheng's face turned pale, and he stared wide-eyed, trying to figure out if the person was fake.
But after looking back and forth a few times, his face turned pale.
Impossible, impossible.
Why is Xiao Yan in the mansion?
Lu Chongyuan clearly told him that Xiao Yan had already left Beijing. He had tried to probe him again and again, but Song Tangning tried to stop him. He even vaguely saw the person disguised as Xiao Yan.
They didn't even dare to show up outside, so how could Xiao Yan be in Heli Hall?
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the people who were forced to kneel in the courtyard. "Who gave you the courage to trespass into the place where I am recuperating?"
"Overseer..."
The faces of the others were also pale. Most of those who followed Yue Fengcheng in were dead. Among those who were left, someone knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:
"Your subordinate, I dare not. It was Mr. Yue who said that the governor was being persecuted, and Commander Cang was interfering in the matter and deceiving the outside world. He also said that the governor had long been gone from the mansion, and we are here to save him..."
"Bang!"
Jinyun raised his hand and placed it on the man's face. Seeing him lying on the ground spitting blood, he said coldly:
"The Governor has already ordered that all affairs of the mansion be handled by this young lady while he recovers from his injuries. You have all been with the Governor for many years. Don't you know that what Canglang did was in accordance with the Governor's orders?"
"Who gave you the guts to bring people to Heli Hall and attack the girl?!"
Jinyun thought of the governor's previous anger and Tang Ning who almost died, and his heart was filled with fear. He knew how much the governor cared about the girl.
If Tang Ning really died, then the Governor...
Jinyun was so angry that he stomped hard on the man's chest.
