"Feng Qi, if I find out that Gu Qian has suffered any harm because of you, I will make you pay with your life!" Qiu Yan's words were cold and sharp, like a blade that struck Feng Qi's heart.
“He…” Feng Qi slowly shook her head. “I’ll take you to him right now.”
She thought that Gu Qian should have already been kidnapped by Qi Yan at this moment.
After all, Qi Yan's poison is extremely potent.
Qi Yan was not afraid of failure and was persistent, so he would never give up such an excellent opportunity.
Therefore, her plan was to temporarily use Gu Qian to control Qi Yan.
She really didn't want Qiu Yan to fall into Qi Yan's hands.
"Where is Gu Qian?" Qiu Yan pressed.
She didn't know if Gu Qian was alright, or if he was... no longer alive.
Fengqi said she would take her to find Gu Qian. Does that mean he is not in any danger?
But how much of Fengqi's words are true?
Qiu Yan knew that Feng Qi must have planned this all along.
"Go straight, it's at the fork in the road ahead!"
Feng Qi had just finished speaking when
Suddenly, Qiu Yan turned around and said loudly to the soldiers behind her:
"This woman is plotting something illicit; arrest her!"
Xue Ning and the others were taken aback.
Weren't we just having a nice chat?
I thought Miss Qiu had run into an old acquaintance.
They may have their thoughts, but they will certainly follow Miss Qiu's words.
In an instant, they all turned their attention to Feng Qi.
Feng Qi...
She should have anticipated this situation.
Looking again at Qiu Yan, she had already ridden her horse far away.
Ling Ba followed closely behind Qiu Yan's stance, while Qin Susu stiffened for a moment before also moving forward.
Also following behind were two carriages and Xuanming Xuanying.
Their silhouettes receded into the distance as they walked on.
Judging from Feng Qi's tone, it seemed not far, but Qiu Yan and the others rode straight for almost half an hour and still hadn't seen anyone.
This distance is enough to walk from Lingnan Village to Huaiyuan.
Qiu Yan couldn't help but wonder if Feng Qi's words could be trusted.
Unexpectedly, at this moment,
She thought she heard the sounds of fighting ahead.
Without thinking twice, she increased the speed of her horse even further.
At this point, the two men at the fork in the road were both badly injured.
Gu Qian's leaning and slightly trembling body was struggling to stand.
At this moment, he seemed to lack even the strength to wield a sword.
Qi Yan was clearly in no better shape.
Blood trickled from the corner of his lips, yet he smiled wickedly, "Gu Qian, what exactly is supporting you?"
He struggled to steady his unsteady body, glancing towards the direction of the carriage.
But at the same time,
Gu Qian swung his riding whip, waving it through the air, and wrapped it around Qi Yan's neck.
The feeling of suffocation made Qi Yan's face turn pale.
He turned around with all his might, gripped the whip rope tightly with both hands, and pulled hard.
Gu Qian remained completely still, while Qi Yan's body was beginning to give out.
He felt that he would suffocate and die in the next instant.
But just then, Xiao Han suddenly arrived.
He drew his sword from his waist with a swift motion, and with a powerful slash, the riding whip split in two.
Qi Yan retreated, relieved, and exchanged blows again.
Xiao Han joins the team and, together with Qi Yan, deals with Gu Qian.
Gu Qian was facing two opponents, and due to the poisoning, he was physically and mentally exhausted and unable to hold his own.
He was caught off guard and, with Qi Yan and Xiao Han working together to counter him, tilted his body and fell to the ground.
Gu Qian's breathing became heavy; he wanted to fight back, but he couldn't muster any strength.
"Yan Yan..." He was helpless, his bloodied hands slowly climbing forward.
My climb was blocked, and suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my fingertips.
Qi Yan, who was in front of him, blocked his path and stepped on the back of his hand.
"Take it back!" Qi Yan said to Xiao Han.
