Chapter 109 Chapter 109
"Anything going on?"
When Xu Duanyi received the message, it was already time for dinner.
For this result.
The siblings Changning and Ping'an were a little unhappy, but Xu Duanyi was fine.
This would have to change in the past.
Or before her cousin came to see her yesterday.
She might have thought more about it, but now that she knew his feelings, although she felt a little regretful that she couldn't see him right away and have dinner with him, she wouldn't be sad.
"Then let's eat first." After letting the person who was on the phone go down first, she took the initiative to greet the brother and sister beside her.
Seeing that she was not unhappy, the brother and sister did not say anything.
Soon, Bi Xi led the way and served the dishes. Xu Duanyi, accompanied by the siblings Chang Ning and Ping An, had his first dinner after returning to the palace.
Wait until dinner is finished.
Changning was still somewhat reluctant to leave.
Ping An, on the other hand, was sharp-eyed and noticed that Bi Xi still had something to say to his sister-in-law, so he stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, you've been riding in the carriage all day today, and you must be tired. You should have a good rest first. Chang Ning and I will go back first." This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. "Oh, yes, then sister-in-law, please wash up and have a rest. I won't disturb you for now." Although Xie Chang Ning was reluctant to leave, she was always sensible, so she stood up as well.
Anyway, my sister-in-law is back.
She can come whenever she wants.
Thinking of this, Xie Changning's reluctance to leave was much less, and he became bright and happy again.
Xu Duanyi smiled and said "OK", then stood up to see the brother and sister out, and asked Shi Yu to call someone with a lantern to send them back.
Watch them walk out of the yard.
Only then did Xu Duanyi look at Bixi, and then she went into the house first.
"You watch outside." Before Bixi went in, she gave Xiuyu another instruction, and then followed her master in.
Xu Duanyi knew that she had already arranged everything.
Seeing Bixi follow in, he asked directly: "What did Qiao Zhong tell you?"
Bixi also did not hide it.
After helping her back to the bed by the window, he lowered his voice and told her, "Qiao Zhong found out that there is a man named Quan Fangtong who has a very close relationship with Cao Da."
Bixi stood aside and reported to her master everything that Qiao Zhong had told her today, in detail and in detail.
"Cao Da is surrounded by people, and Qiao Zhong was afraid that he would find out. He did not dare to investigate too much, so what he could find was limited."
"Based on what he had found out, he discovered that Quan Fangtong was a former doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, and his last job was to transport supplies for the Battle of Nagano."
Seeing the master's face turn ugly instantly when he heard the four words "Battle of Nagano".
Bixi did not pause and continued to whisper to her, "Later, Qiao Zhong asked someone to check what happened to Quan Fangtong in the past few years."
"It was discovered that after the Battle of Nagano, Quan Fangtong was transferred out of the capital for no apparent reason. He first served as the magistrate of a small, unknown county in Jiangning for two years, and then he was inexplicably promoted. Now he has even taken on such a lucrative position as the Jiangning Textile Factory Doctor."
"Qiao Zhong also said that Quan Fangtong would visit Cao Da in the palace every year when he came to Beijing. He did this quite often. The strange thing was that even Chen Li, who was beside Cao Da, was very respectful to him."
Xu Duanyi had guessed this before.
Xie Qingya hated Cao Da so much, probably the Battle of Nagano was closely related to Cao Da.
Now there is another one like this...
He just happened to be the one who transported supplies for the Battle of Nagano.
It seems that she guessed correctly.
"Is Quan Fangtong in the capital now?" Xu Duanyi asked her.
It is impossible for Qiao Zhong to target someone for no reason. It is possible that he discovered something in the palace and then traced it to Quan Fangtong.
Otherwise, how could Qiao Zhong know the existence of such a person in such a faraway place like Jiangning?
Bi Xi had checked this point early on.
At this time, he immediately replied, "Yes, he bought a house in the capital in his early years, just outside the North Fourth Gate. I heard that he has been attending many banquets recently."
"There is one more thing..."
Bixi continued to speak to others under Xu Duanyi's questioning eyes: "It seems that Quan Fangtong is still interested in the position of patrol officer of the salt and salt industry. According to Qiao Zhong, Cao Da did not agree. However, Quan Fangtong is now very powerful in the city, and he is having fun every day. I am afraid that he has found another way out. I don't know who he has found."
"If you want to know, I will send someone to investigate carefully."
She only found out about these things this afternoon.
Haven't had time to check too much.
"There's no rush."
Xu Duanyi pondered and said, "When the prince comes back, I will ask him first."
When Bixi heard this answer, she looked at her in surprise.
She thought that her master was going to investigate secretly this time and not let the prince know.
I didn’t expect…
How could Xu Duanyi not know what she was surprised about? If it weren't for what her cousin said yesterday, she would probably still choose to secretly investigate those things herself.
It can be said that Xie Qingya's decision gave her a lot of confidence and courage.
She naturally didn't want any unnecessary misunderstandings and secrets to exist between them.
I just don't know if my aunt had any hand in that incident...
Thinking of this, Xu Duanyi couldn't help but frown again.
But it didn't last too long, she said first: "Have someone bring in some water, I'll wash up first."
A busy day.
Although she didn't sweat easily, her body was still a little sticky.
I thought that after I finished washing up, Xie Qingya would be back, which would be convenient for me to talk to him later.
But until she finished washing.
My hair has already dried, but Xie Qingya hasn't come back yet.
"Have you asked around? Did the prince go to the study or hasn't come back yet?" Xu Duanyi asked with a frown, his eyes also looking at the dripping water not far away.
It's almost the hour of Xu.
Given Xie Qingya's personality, if there was something really important, even if he couldn't come back, he should still give her a message and tell her an approximate time of return.
I won't keep her waiting like this.
Unless he has no time or opportunity to send someone to reply.
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt nervous and my heart started beating fast in my chest.
Ups and downs.
Restless.
Xu Duanyi couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and walked a few steps in the room, then told Bixi, "Go find the person who just went to see the prince and see what he said."
The person who just replied was a maid from the outer courtyard.
It's not someone who goes directly to find Xie Qingya.
The maid who came back only said that the prince had something to do and would be back later, and asked them not to wait for him for dinner, but did not say anything else.
Bi Xi knew that she was anxious, so she naturally did not dare to delay. She quickly agreed and went out first.
About quarter of an hour later, Bixi came back panting.
Xu Duanyi asked Xiuyu to pour her a cup of tea, and immediately asked her: "What did he say?"
Bixi didn't even bother to drink tea, and replied to her first: "That person said that he saw the prince in front of the government office. The prince originally planned to go back to the palace directly, but he suddenly ran into Lingji. I don't know what Lingji said to him, and then the prince asked him to go back first."
After saying that.
Bixi took a sip of tea first.
Seeing that the master was silent and pondering, he was about to ask, but suddenly he heard the master say: "Shi Yu, go prepare the carriage, we are going out for a while."
As soon as Xu Duanyi finished speaking, several maids looked at her.
But Xu Duanyi did not explain further. He just frowned and ordered Shi Yu again: "Go quickly!"
Shi Yu didn't dare to delay and immediately agreed and ran out.
"Comb my hair for me." Xu Duanyi instructed Bixi again.
Having said that, she went inside first.
After Bixi and Xiuyu looked at each other, they didn't dare to delay. One went to get clothes to wear when going out, and the other went to comb Xu Duanyi's hair.
"Where are you planning to find the prince?" Bi Xi asked softly while combing someone's hair.
Xu Duanyi did not answer but asked: "You just said that Quan Fang lived together at the North Fourth Gate? Where exactly?"
When Bixi heard this, her expression changed slightly.
Not daring to hide it, she hurriedly told her master the address she had found out earlier. After she finished speaking, she looked at her master again and asked in a low voice, "Do you think that the prince went to find Quan Fangtong?"
Xu Duanyi said in a deep voice: "I don't know either."
But this was the only place she could think of.
In order to avoid any accidents, Xu Duanyi simply had her hair combed so that it would be presentable, and then changed her clothes and went out.
She asked Xiuyu to stay in the house, and then took Bixi to the gatehouse first.
The carriage was ready.
Xu Duanyi didn't call the driver, but just asked Shi Yu to drive faster.
When questioned by the servants of the palace, she just said that she had to go back to the marquis's mansion and would be back at night.
The four northern gates are in the same direction as the Marquis' Mansion.
Then she hurriedly got on the carriage and let Shi Yu drive the carriage to Quanfu.
…
Just when Xu Duanyi was about to leave for Quan Mansion, a group of men in black also secretly broke into the mansion.
After all, this is not a place where Quan Fangtong usually lives.
There were not many servants and few women, but there were quite a few guards on guard patrol.
Quan Fangtong has always been greedy for life and afraid of death. No matter where he goes, he will bring a group of people with him to protect his life.
Today he returned from the banquet as usual.
Because he couldn't contact Xiao Yuanfu, he was not in the same mood as before today. He came back early and was not drunk.
Originally, these two days should have been the days that Xiao Yuanfu recommended him.
But he waited for two days and didn't see anyone, nor did he receive any notification.
He simply went to the Ministry of Revenue to find Xiao Yuanfu today, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yuanfu had taken sick leave yesterday.
He didn't know whether he was really sick or faking it, and he didn't dare to go to the Xiao family to look for him.
However, the position of the inspector of the salt industry was about to be decided, but Xiao Yuanfu had not yet recommended him. Quan Fangtong was really afraid that something unexpected would happen...
I wondered in my heart, could it be that Xiao Yuanfu was waiting for a higher price and was not satisfied with the 50% interest rate?
So you're deliberately giving him the cold shoulder, waiting for him to come and negotiate with you when he gets more benefits?
全方同暗自懊惱。
他還真沒見過，比他還貪的！
全方同邊惱，邊往卧室走去，打算再去拿一部分錢，先去給蕭元福，把這事先定下來。
不管如何。
只要能坐上那個位置，以後每年的利益，不還是他說了算？
多給少給，也都是他看着辦。
“你們在外守着。”
全方同在進屋之前，還不忘囑咐随從一聲。
聽他們答應之後，這才推開門進去。
又把門都關上。
免得被人知曉，他放錢的地方在哪裏。
他卻不知，就在他進屋之後，他外邊院子裏的那些護衛，也都被人神不知鬼不覺地，先處理掉了。
門口的守衛，倒是有所察覺。
只是才喊出一聲“誰”，還未來得及跟人過招，便也被一刀刺穿了。
全方同正在拿錢。
聽到外面的動靜，他一邊把機關重新合上，一邊往外喊道：“出什麽事了？”
無人回答。
全方同只見門上被人噴灑出鮮血。
“啊！”
看着這一幕，全方同頭皮都炸開了。
他驚叫一聲，就想重新打開機關，往裏頭跑，可還未等他有所動作，門就被人先踹開了。
幾個黑衣人同時闖了進來。
外頭則橫倒着兩具屍體，正是先前守在門外的兩個護衛。
全方同一臉驚恐地看着他們，他一邊往後倒退，一邊試圖去找對自己有利的東西：“你、你們是誰？！”
“我乃朝廷命官，你、你們想對我做什麽？”
自是不會有人理會他。
其中一個黑衣人想直接過去，果結了全方同，忽聽身後傳來別的動靜。
“老大，好像有人來了。”
他壓着聲音，跟中間的男人說道。
男人“嗯”一聲：“你們去看看，這裏我來。”
這幾人，大約都習慣，聽從他的吩咐了，一點猶豫都沒有，就直接掉頭出去了。
屋內一時只剩下這個黑衣男人和全方同。
和其他蒙面的黑衣人不同，男人臉上罩着一張面具，十分嚴實地把自己的五官，都給遮擋起來了。
聲音也壓得格外低，明顯不是他原本的音調。
他手握長刀，看着全方同，一步步朝人走去。
全方同臉色蒼白，聲音顫抖的，還在倒退：“是誰派你來殺我的？我、我可以給你錢，你想要多少，我就給你多少，只要你別殺我！”
眼見男人并未動心。
全方同只能極盡一切可能，把手頭上能用的東西，全往男人身上砸去，試圖阻擋男人過來，給自己找出一條生路。
生路沒找到。
倒是男人的面具，被全方同打落了下來。
看着這張熟悉的臉，全方同忽然睜大眼睛，整個人也跟着呆住了：“你、怎麽是你？”
全方同怎麽也沒想到，來殺他的黑衣人，竟然是柴壽！
一看到柴壽，全方同先前的懼怕一掃而盡，反而習慣性跟人頤指氣使起來：“姓柴的，你他娘的發什麽瘋？”
“敢來殺我，你不要命了？！”
“要是讓我哥知道，你……”
話說到這，全方同忽然覺得不對。
柴壽一向只聽他哥的吩咐，怎麽會突然來殺他？難道……
他的臉，忽然一會紅一會白。
“你……”
柴壽看着他“啧”了一聲。
他一邊彎腰去撿地上的面具，一邊漫不經心說道：“你說你何必非要做個明白鬼呢？這不是自己給自己找不痛快嗎？”
“……為什麽？”
全方同滿臉困解，他不明白他哥為什麽要殺他？驚恐和憤怒，同時出現在他的心中。
連帶着他的聲音也控制不住拔高了。
“他為什麽要殺我？我做錯什麽了！”
柴壽撿起地上的面具，一邊漫不經心往臉上戴，一邊看着人嗤嘲一聲：“你說你做錯什麽了？”
全方同想到什麽，臉色又是一白。
“我，我可以不要那個差事了，我、我現在就回江寧，以後都不回來了，我把錢都給你，你去跟我哥說……我現在就回去！”他看着柴壽痛哭流涕。
可柴壽仍頂着那個冰冷的面具，看着他說道：“晚了。”
他說完。
便毫不猶豫地舉起手中的刀，朝全方同走去。
全方同看着那把刀，臉色慘白一片，也不管能不能跑出去，求生的本能，讓他立刻往門口沖去。
能感覺到身後柴壽在追過來。
全方同只怕自己成為他的刀下亡魂，更是咬牙往外沖去，突然——
他被人抓住了胳膊。
“啊！”
以為自己被抓住了，全方同再次尖叫出聲。
他下意識揮舞着胳膊想掙脫，忽然聽到耳邊傳來一道不耐的聲音：“閉嘴！”
這男聲明顯要年輕許多。
全方同神色微怔，睜眼看去，見是個梳着高馬尾的黑衣男子，看樣子，倒是跟柴壽他們不是同一批人。
全方同雙眼一亮，也不管他是誰，就立刻抓住他的胳膊，沖人喊道：“壯士救我！”
謝清崖冷眼瞥了他一眼。
要不是還有事要問全方同，他只怕當下就要跟人動手了。
沒去理會全方同。
他往前跟柴壽對視一眼。
然後直接拿出早已準備好的石灰粉，往柴壽的方向撒去，等柴壽被逼退，他便立刻不作停留，抓起全方同就翻牆離開了這邊。
“老大，人被帶走了！”
其他幾個黑衣人，此時也都受困于謝清崖帶來的那些人中，眼睜睜看着這不知道從哪裏冒出來的黑衣人，把全方同帶走，想沖上去阻攔，又被人擋住，無濟于事。
……
謝清崖抓着全方同離開全府之後。
就帶着人，進了一處事先就安排好的廢棄宅子，察覺到身後沒有動靜，他就立刻松手，厭惡地把全方同抛到了地上。
全方同原本被人帶得翻來跳去的，就頭暈目眩。
此時直接腦門沖着地面摔去，更是直接就吐了出來。
但好歹撿回一條命，全方同還是慶幸不已。
他抹幹淨嘴角，就立刻着急地轉頭沖人說道：“壯士，勞你送我出城，只要離開京城，我一定奉上千金！”
京城不能待了，他得立刻離開！
轉頭看到男人眉眼之間的厭惡和恨意，全方同心下微怔。
先前未曾仔細看，此時看着這遮擋住下半張臉的眉眼，全方同莫名覺得有些熟悉。
“你——”
本書由LK團隊為您獨家整理 他看着人喊道。
“想活命，就回答我的問題！”謝清崖說着，又把人抓着離開了原先的地方，待把人按在一棵樹上，他繼續冷着臉，看着人問道：“說，當年長野之戰，你都做了什麽？！”
全方同一聽到那四個字，立刻臉色驟變，剛才只是懷疑男人的身份，如今……
“南、南安王？”他一臉驚恐地看着眼前的男人。
本以為這人是救他出生天的菩薩，哪想到他這是才出虎穴，又入狼窩啊！
全方同白着臉，又想逃跑。
但謝清崖豈會令他跑掉？手中的劍，立刻刺到了他臉旁邊的樹上：“曹達的人還在追你，你最好給我老實回話，不然我直接把你扔出去！”
“別、別！”
全方同驚恐地睜大了眼睛。
“說，當年你們究竟都做了什麽！冀州營中，又是誰幫得你！”
全方同沒想到，他已經查到這一步了，臉色又是一變，他看着謝清崖，小心翼翼與人商量：“……我要是都跟你說，你能不能放過我？”
謝清崖心中惡氣難忍。
握着劍柄的手背上，青筋猶如蜿蜒的小蛇。
他恨不得直接殺了全方同，但也知道，現在這種時候，挖出真相才是最重要的。
只能強忍着恨意，點了點頭。
不等全方同再言，他又厲目盯着人，低聲喝道：“別跟我讨價還價，也別想跟我拖延時間，你今天要是不說出個究竟，我現在就把你送給曹達去！”
全方同被人一吓，立刻又變了臉色。
看着眼前殺氣騰騰，猶如煞神一般的謝清崖，他心裏叫苦不疊，但此時身家性命都在人手裏，他再後悔，也只能先絞盡腦汁，與人說道：“當年是曹達說想給謝……”
看着謝清崖，他又默默吞回那個名字，換了個尊稱。
“想給你父親一個教訓。”
“……但物資上面，其他東西缺斤短兩的，太明顯了，便、便有人想到把盔甲換下，想着讓他們丢臉吃個虧。”
謝清崖一聽到這個有人，便眉心狠狠一跳。
眼看着全方同目光躲閃，謝清崖心裏十分清楚，這換盔甲的主意，恐怕就是全方同想的。
以全方同這個貪婪的性子。
他必定是換了盔甲原本的好原料，拿了殘次品代替，以此來換錢。
只是不知道，這究竟是他的主意。
還是曹達的主意。
他故意隐忍不發，只嘶啞着嗓音，沉聲問道：“然後呢？”
“其實、其實……”全方同吞吞吐吐，被謝清崖看着，又不敢不說，“他們也沒想到會這樣，他們就是想給南安王一個教訓，不不，他們也沒想過真的會用那批盔甲，便是真的用了，以他們的本事，那場仗也不可能會出問題。”
"How could there be any problem with that battle? There shouldn't be any problem..." As Quan Fangtong spoke, his eyes began to blur.
He still feels a little scared.
Although many years have passed, he still seems to remember the scene.
He was originally drinking tea in the barracks calmly, thinking that he had received such a large sum of money, and he was extremely happy.
Who would have thought that news suddenly came from outside that something had happened to the people brought by Prince Nan'an!
The whole camp was in chaos at that time, and he also panicked.
After some investigation, they found that the people brought by King Nan'an were all wearing the armor he brought.
He felt a black screen in his eyes at that moment.
Xie Qingya knew this and had his own reasons.
If he had not acted rashly at the beginning, his father and brother would not have been so anxious to rescue him and would not have carefully checked the armor, and they would not have fallen into the enemy's trap.
His heart was heavy with grief, and his eyes turned red.
After taking a deep breath.
Xie Qingya suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Quan Fangtong's neck. Before he could struggle, he said to him with a sinister look on his face: "You still dare to lie to me now!"
"I...I, didn't..."
Quan Fangtong never expected that he would suddenly get angry.
He struggled, his eyes began to roll back, and he spoke hoarsely.
Xie Qingya really wanted to kill Quan Fangtong this time, so his strength was not small.
Quan Fangtong struggled desperately but couldn't break free, so he could only swing Xie Qingya's arm.
"You said Cao Da wanted to change his armor just to teach us a lesson and embarrass my father? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Even if he disliked Cao Da, he knew that Cao Da would never do such a stupid thing.
Either he really wanted to kill them.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to work on the armor.
"Tell me, is it Cao Da who wants to kill us, or are you greedy and deliberately exchanged for the better ones in exchange for money?" Xie Qingya said, loosening his grip a little.
Almost as soon as he loosened his hand, Quan Fangtong started coughing violently.
But Xie Qingya had no patience.
The sword in his hand was still pointed at Quan Fangtong, his face gloomy, and he shouted at him: "Speak!"
Quan Fangtong looked at the sword, feeling extremely panicked.
His face was pale.
He knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he would really die here today, but if he told the truth, he would not live either!
This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. Xie Qingya looked at him like this, but he already understood.
"So it's you..." he murmured in a hoarse voice.
He originally thought that Cao Da wanted to kill them, so he had people change their armor so that they would die there. Unexpectedly... all this conspiracy actually originated from just two words.
——Greedy.
The hand holding the sword hilt made a clattering sound.
At this moment, murderous intent flashed in his eyes when he looked at Quan Fangtong.
Quan Fangtong obviously felt it.
He leaned against the tree, unable to escape, and could only hug his thighs, crying bitterly, "Prince, Prince, I really didn't expect this."
"They told me that these things were all the same, just a little old. They even let me try them out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to do this!"
"I beg you, please spare my life! I know you hate Cao Da, I... I can tell you everything he has done in private over the years!"
"As long as you let me go!"
As he spoke, he began to kowtow to others.
Xie Qingya still held the sword tightly by its hilt.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally suppressed his emotions, grabbed his collar and asked, "Who is helping you in the Jizhou camp?"
Quan Fangtong naturally didn't dare to hide it at this moment.
He raised his head and looked at Xie Qingya: "Yes..."
Xie Qingya watched him speak, and felt that the truth that had been sealed for so many years was about to appear before his eyes.
In fact, compared with Caoda and Quanfangtong.
What he hated even more was the person in Jizhou Camp who helped them hide the truth...
"Who is that person?" he asked again impatiently.
He could no longer control the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.
Quan Fangtong also felt his anger, and his voice became even softer: "Yes, yes..."
But he hadn't said anything yet.
Xie Qingya felt that there was something behind him, as if it was rushing towards him.
His instinctive sense of danger made him pull Quan Fangtong away without thinking.
It was almost as if they were the ones who got away.
Three plum blossom darts were nailed directly into the tree in front of them.
Quan Fangtong was so frightened by seeing this scene that he screamed, while Xie Qingya immediately looked in the direction where the plum blossom dart came from.
He saw a man wearing a martial-art hat standing on the roof not far away.
The man was dressed in black, tall, and covered by a hat, so his face could not be seen clearly. But Xie Qingya instinctively felt that this man could not have been sent by Cao Da.
A thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Xie Qingya then saw a few more plum blossom darts flying in front of him.
Judging from the posture of the plum blossom dart, the person who came was here to take Quan Fangtong's life. Xie Qingya already knew who the person was, and he subconsciously wanted to capture Quan Fangtong first.
But Quan Fangtong, that cowardly guy, had already screamed and ran away when he saw those plum blossom darts.
My hand fell empty.
Xie Qingya said inwardly, "Damn it."
It was too late to catch Quan Fangtong as several plum blossom darts flew from behind.
One of them went straight into Quan Fangtong's neck.
Xie Qingya only had time to see the man fall down with his eyes wide open before he felt two more missiles coming towards him. He dodged one, but the other pierced his left shoulder.
The man's skills were profound, and Xie Qingya was forced to stagger forward two steps and groan.
Ignore the injury on your shoulder.
Xie Qingya turned his head and looked in the direction of the man in black. He gritted his teeth and took off the plum blossom dart on his shoulder, then rushed towards the man with a long sword in hand.
The man in black did not linger on the battle.
Seeing that Quan Fangtong was dead, he jumped away.
"stop!"
Xie Qingya looked at the man jumping on the roof and gritted his teeth and chased after him.
At this moment, he no longer cared about the injuries on his body, nor the blood flowing from his shoulder.
My mind is full of catching him!
Catch him!
He wants to see who this person is!
"Who are you?"
"Did you set that fire?"
"Are you worthy of my father?"
Xie Qingya saw the man suddenly stop walking after he said this.
Watching this scene, Xie Qingya did not feel happy about guessing the truth, but became even more angry.
The rage was overwhelming.
The long sword in his hand, which had not yet been sheathed, was swung directly towards the person.
This strike of the sword used up all of Xie Qingya's strength. If it weren't for the years of accumulated hatred, he would not have been able to lift his injured arm at all.
But the long sword pierced the man's shoulder, and it also drained all his strength.
Xie Qingya staggered and fell forward onto the roof.
Seeing the man draw the sword from his shoulder and walk away wounded, Xie Qingya's eyes turned red as if dripping blood, and he yelled at the man, "Stop!"
"Stop right there!"
But the man ignored him and disappeared from his sight.
Instead, there was a sound coming from behind.
"Boss, Quan Fangtong's body is here!"
"Boss, there's a noise ahead!"
"……Chase!"
…
Xie Qingya knew that if he was caught by the Jinyiwei at this time, he would become the murderer of Quan Fangtong!
There was no way Chai Shou would let him go in front of so many people.
Holding his injured shoulder, Xie Qingya gritted his teeth, picked up the sword, and put it into the sheath. Then he continued to run forward while forcing himself to do something.
I want to find a place to hide and avoid being tracked along the way.
But it was also a coincidence.
Just then, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front.
Xie Qingya ignored it at first.
He was actually a little dizzy from losing too much blood. He forced himself to run farther and hide, but he saw that the person driving the carriage was actually Shi Yu!
When I looked again, I saw someone lifting the car curtain and looking out with a worried look on his face.
Looking at that familiar face, Xie Qingya initially thought that he had lost too much blood and was dazzled, until their eyes met and a familiar voice came to his ears -
"Qingya!"
Xie Qingya suddenly realized that he was not mistaken.
He didn't know why she was here, but his subconscious reaction made him jump away immediately.
The carriage had already been stopped by Xu Duanyi and the curtains had been lifted.
Looking at that familiar, nervous, and concerned face, Xie Qingya rushed into the carriage with his injured body.
A familiar fragrance lingered in Xie Qingya's nose.
Xie Qingya was supported by someone with both hands, and her worried voice could be heard in her ears: "Qingya, are you okay?"
He was kneeling on one knee in the carriage, and when he heard the words, he looked up at the people.
"I just thought I was dreaming." He smiled weakly at her and wanted to reach out to touch her face, but then he remembered that his hands were dirty, frowned, and simply rested his forehead on her shoulder and leaned over without extending his hand.
