"Pfft..." Hu Ying coughed up a mouthful of blood, her expression turning painful.
She turned around, but apart from the panicked pedestrians, she couldn't see who had killed her.
Tang Yi's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the crowd.
His heart ached; his child…
Before Tang Yi could give the order, Zheng Hong had already gone after the assassin in the distance.
Just as Hu Ying was falling, Tang Yi caught her.
Seeing Hu Ying's bleeding wound, his heart was bleeding.
At this moment, it was as if the surrounding environment had stood still.
He held Hu Ying's body, his eyes fixed on her lower abdomen.
Seeing Tang Yi's grief-stricken face, Hu Ying was moved. She felt that Tang Yi still cared for her.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Tang Yi murmured, "The child can't be hurt."
"My lord, you...you are so cruel...heartless." Hu Ying was filled with despair. She grabbed the dagger in her hand and stabbed it fiercely into her lower abdomen.
Since she can't survive, then let's torment Tang Yi to avenge his ruthlessness.
"Stop!" Tang Yi grabbed Hu Ying's wrist, snatched the dagger from her hand, and threw it to the ground.
Then, he carried her straight to the Star Moon Tower.
Little did they know, Qiu Yan was no longer in Xingyue Tower.
Seeing the dying Hu Ying, he didn't stop, but carried her and ran wildly towards the Hall of Forgetfulness...
On Baiyang Street, Zheng Hong moved swiftly, but without a clear objective.
Damn assassin, too fast.
...Suddenly, a whooshing sound was heard, and the man in black dodged an arrow and continued to escape.
Qiu Yan followed closely behind and fired another arrow.
Whoosh... The man in black suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He glanced back but didn't see Qiu Yan; instead, he spotted Zheng Hong in the distance.
The man in black turned around, drew his bow, and returned the arrow.
Upon hearing the sound of the arrow, Zheng Hong quickly turned his head to look. He didn't notice the archer, but he did realize that a cold arrow was coming towards him.
He hurriedly dodged, and seeing the long arrow heading straight for him, his mind paused for a moment.
Before he could dodge, his entire body was kicked far away.
As the wind whistled past, Qiu Yan caught the arrow that was suddenly shot at her in an instant and took a step back.
In his haste, Zheng Hong saw Qiu Yan retract her foot and bowed to her.
"Miss Qiu, thank you!"
Miss Qiu's strength was so great that even he, a man, felt inferior to her.
That kick almost broke him apart.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the long arrow that should have been shot at him being held tightly in Qiu Yan's hand, and a sense of respect arose in his heart.
It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge; it was simply that the assassin's archery skills were too good.
He now understood why the former county magistrate had died young.
Qiu Yan looked at the spot where the man in black had just been, but the figure had long since disappeared.
She thought to herself, "I'll change my name. When Gu Qian comes again, I'll have to ask him to teach me some light-body skills."
Qiu Yan looked at Zheng Hong: "Do you know who that man in black was? Have you fought him before?"
Zheng Hong shook his head. "I don't know. I guess that man in black was probably one of the Fourth Prince of Northern Qi's men."
"The border is not peaceful." Qiu Yan slowly shook her head, preparing to continue strolling through the market and buying souvenirs.
But just as she was thinking this, she saw Tang Yi rushing towards her.
Tang Yi was covered in blood, a stark contrast to his usual perfect image.
He didn't have time to say much before he said, "Qiu Yan, please save my child."
"Your child?" Qiu Yan was unaware of the news of Hu Ying's assassination.
"Did something happen to Hu Ying?"
"She was shot in the back and is dying." Tang Yi said sadly. Qiu Yan didn't delay and went to the Forget-Worry Hall with Tang Yi.
