Chapter 473: Paying the Money and Doing the Job
From then on, every day was spent training everyone's acting skills.
Feng Aoqing pretended to be sick and dead.
Yu Tingfeng pretended to be heartbroken and almost crazy.
Siyan was originally the best at having two faces. Although she wanted to kill Yan Xiao every day, she knew that Yan Xiao had to stay alive.
Yu Mingchang is simple-minded and afraid of being exposed, so he tries not to have any interaction with Yan Xiao. Fortunately, the two of them were not very familiar with each other.
Ruxuan, who Feng Aoqing was most worried about, also performed stably.
Feng Aoqing wanted her to find an excuse to leave, but she was so determined.
She said to Feng Aoqing, "Master, if I leave, he will definitely become suspicious. You don't have to worry about me. When he stabbed the knife into my skin and said he loved me, my heart died. He is now an enemy!"
And Yan Xiao, out of guilt and fear, stayed away from Feng Aoqing's room, trying to avoid the fact that he had killed her.
In this way, Feng Aoqing doesn't have to lie in the white jade coffin all day long.
Yu Tingfeng was worried about hurting her and wanted to end it quickly, but Feng Aoqing shook her head and advised him not to be impatient.
"Some wounds must be completely rotten before all the rotten flesh can be removed at once. If you remove it too early, it will itch every month and rot every year, which will be even more painful."
How could Yu Tingfeng not understand?
"Also, give her another chance. If she lets you go, you let her go too." Feng Aoqing said again.
He left with Feng Aoqing's coffin. This was his last chance.
If Qin Yi lets him go and is reluctant to kill him, then Yu Tingfeng will let her go.
But now, Yu Tingfeng also knew that she would not let her own brother go.
Yeah! How normal.
In the royal court, there is no such thing as family affection. No one is anyone else's father, mother, brother, sister, or younger brother or younger sister.
Only then did Yan Xiao realize that everyone in the hall knew that he was an enemy.
Feng Aoqing walked over, and Shi Jin turned around and stopped her behind him.
Shi Jin came to the capital to pick up the Qilin Brocade goods and wanted to see Feng Aoqing by the way, but unexpectedly heard the news of Feng Aoqing's death.
He didn't believe it, so he went into the Qihuang Palace to check.
So many people wanted to enter the temple, but he was the only one who succeeded.
When he walked to the coffin, he heard the sound of chewing food behind the screen beside the coffin.
If it were someone else, they would be scared to death, but he just laughed.
He simply hid himself and protected the two of them secretly.
When he boarded the boat, he was just an ordinary boatman and no one noticed him.
Feng Aoqing walked around Shi Jin and came in front of Yan Xiao.
"Yan Xiao, go now! Go back to your people. Oh, I've already asked them to return to Yancheng. That way they can make a living and you don't have to work as a thorn to support them anymore."
Yan Xiao raised his head.
"Yancheng?"
It seems like I haven't heard this word mentioned for a long time.
For a moment, tears blurred his face.
He staggered to his feet.
When he reached the door, he turned around and smiled: "Ci, I don't recognize the master, I only recognize the silver. You gave me so much silver, I have to do the job after receiving the money, otherwise, it would be against the rules."
Everyone seemed to realize something.
At this time, the boat was not far from Peishui Wharf.
Several people wanted to open the door, but Yan Xiao had already stabbed it from the outside with a knife.
This couldn't stop the people in the room. Yu Mingchang cut the knife off with one sword. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard the whistling sound of arrows, so he could only close the door again.
Yan Xiao faced the rain of arrows.
His aim was the burning arrow.
Ordinary arrows will be fine as long as they don't leave the cabin, but incendiary arrows will not work.
"Yan Xiao! Come back!" Feng Aoqing shouted.
Yu Tingfeng pulled her away from the window and held her tightly in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, there are people around!"
He whispered in Feng Aoqing's ear.
Yes, someone does.
It’s Yu Yichen and An Jinge.
The two of them led the Lengyan Army and the Yuling Guard respectively and arrived at the Peishui Wharf.
In the firelight, the two men seemed to be competing, to see who could swing the sword faster, more fiercely, and who could kill more people.
Yu Tingfeng instructed that none of these traitors should be spared.
The two of them had a very good understanding of each other. An Jinge used a longer sword, while Yu Yichen used a shorter sword, so they took turns moving forward.
Soon, all the people ambushing at the dock were killed.
Leng Yanjun stepped forward again and scanned all the people, making sure that there was no one alive before reporting.
Yu Tingfeng's face turned ashen.
She couldn't bring herself to say any words of comfort; anything she said would seem so pale. Feng Aoqing could only hold his hand.
Because Yan Xiao was outside the door, the ship was unharmed.
He remained standing on the deck until the ship reached the shore, and he remained there motionless.
Si Yan snorted coldly, "Don't think that just because you shot down a few arrows, you can offset your mistakes! Get out of here!"
She kicked him with one leg.
Yan Xiao took two steps forward and knelt on the deck.
In the moonlight, Siyan saw an arrow stuck in his chest and his body was trembling slightly.
"Master!" Siyan's heart tightened and she couldn't help but shout.
She never thought that with Yan Xiao's ability, he would not be able to dodge the arrow.
Feng Aoqing ran over.
"Lie down, don't move, you won't die with me here."
She checked immediately. Not only the one in her abdomen, but the two arrows in her chest were a bit troublesome.
Yan Xiao smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, sister."
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed the arrow in his chest forward again, and the arrow pierced his body.
This time, I really can't survive.
In the end, he could no longer speak, but there was some expectation in his eyes.
Feng Aoqing gritted her teeth and said, "Go call Ruxuan."
Ruxuan didn't know martial arts, so they hid her away.
She took Yan Xiao's hand from Feng Aoqing.
Yan Xiao could only look at her.
"I'm not angry anymore. I know you have your reasons, and I'm sorry for not standing by your side."
Ruxuan's tears dripped onto his hands.
Yan Xiao shook his head, forced a last smile, and closed his eyes.
"This idiot!" Siyan cried and cursed.
Feng Aoqing and Yu Tingfeng both let him go, but he sought death himself.
With his skills, how could he not escape these arrows? He was clearly seeking death.
Ruxuan requested, "Master, please lend me the white jade coffin so I can take him back to Yancheng."
Feng Aoqing nodded: "I'll send someone to take you there, and then..."
"Master, that's my home. I'll go back and never come to Yuanwu again. Thank you for saving my life..."
"It has been paid off, Ruxuan. You saved many lives, including mine." Feng Aoqing held her hand and said heavily.
Ruxuan seemed unable to wait even a moment longer, and after putting Yan Xiao into the white jade coffin, she set off.
Yu Mingchang arranged someone to send it off.
When getting off the boat, Feng Aoqing realized that An Jinge and Yu Lingwei had also come.
However, it is not surprising, because it was she who sent the letter about Yu Yichen being alive.
Yu Yichen was being chased and fell off a cliff, where he was rescued by An Jinge.
She did not leave Wudu, but hid herself.
The reason why there was no news about her was that she found a secluded mountain forest to practice and did not move around in the cities.
An Jinge also saw Feng Aoqing. After confirming that she was safe, An Jinge did not approach her. Instead, he stood at a distance, saluted her, and then led the Yuling Guards away.
Mo Beiyuan was worried when he left, so he left the Yuling Guards in the city to protect Feng Aoqing. When An Jinge and his group left Wu, he gathered people to follow them.
