"Isn't this just trampling on your face?"
He Jian's face was terribly gloomy, and he touched He Yi's head distressedly: "Yier, don't worry, Dad will definitely avenge you."
…………
Two days later, a group of men in black broke into a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Chi Yu was sorting herbs at the time, so he didn't react for a while.
It was not until I heard Tang Wan's scream that I realized that seven or eight people were holding her hostage, with sharp knives against her slender and fragile neck.
Chi Yu's heart skipped a beat. He didn't care about the herbs in his hand and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The leading man in black sneered, "You don't need to know who we are. Someone is willing to buy your lives. If you don't want to die, just follow us."
Chi Yujun's handsome face showed a rare hint of anger, but Tang Wan was in their hands, so he had to be cautious. Seeing the blade in the bandit's hand getting closer and closer to Tang Wan's neck, he didn't bother to think too much, "Okay, I'll go with you. Don't touch her."
He walked over slowly, but found that Tang Wan winked at him. He immediately knew what she meant, so he pretended to deal with them.
Tang Wan seized the opportunity and gave the man who held her hostage a silver needle.
The man was hit in the acupuncture point and pushed her away in pain.
Chi Yu held her in his arms. The group of men in black were also completely enraged by their actions: "Brothers, come together."
"Ayu, you are the direct disciple of the number one swordsman Zhu Che. Why are you afraid of them? Don't be afraid, just go ahead."
The group of people were charging forward quite fiercely, but after hearing this, they hesitated. After all, the reputation of the number one swordsman Zhu Che was quite famous, and everyone in the martial arts world had heard of his name.
If the young man in front of them is really his apprentice, then not only will they be in a thankless position, but they will also offend a big shot.
Taking advantage of the moment they were stunned, Tang Wan grabbed his wrist and said, "Run." Chi Yu reacted immediately and ran desperately with her.
The air filled their lungs, and the two of them were choked and coughed repeatedly without daring to stop. The group of people also realized belatedly that they had been fooled.
"How dare you play tricks on me? Brothers, chase me."
Chi Yu and Tang Wan darted through the woods, their ears filled only with the whistling of the wind. They ran as fast as they could, not caring about the dense vegetation and thorns beneath their feet.
The men in black were following closely behind, and were about to catch up. Chi Yu suddenly stopped, glanced around, and had an idea in his mind.
He took Tang Wan's hand and led her to the foot of a steep cliff. They looked down and saw that the cliff was covered with dense vines.
Tang Wan nodded at Chi Yu, indicating that she understood what Chi Yu meant.
Without hesitation, they climbed up the vines and headed towards the bottom of the cliff. The man in black chased them to the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to find that they had already disappeared.
"Damn it, they fooled us!" The leader of the men in black punched the rock angrily.
"Boss, what should we do? Should we go down and look for them?" asked a man in black.
The leader was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Forget it. The situation down there is uncertain. It would be bad if we lose our own men. We'll just hold on here. They'll always come back if they run out of food and water."
Hearing the leader's words, the men in black nodded in agreement. They decided to wait at the edge of the cliff for Chi Yu and Tang Wan to appear.
However, they didn't know that Chi Yu and Tang Wan had found a hidden cave on the top of the cliff. They hid in the cave and took a short rest.
Tang Wan leaned on Chi Yu's shoulder, panting violently: "Yu, we have to find a way to get rid of them."
Chi Yu nodded and said solemnly: "I will find a way, but now we must rest and conserve our energy."
The two of them rested in the cave for a while and recovered their strength. Chi Yu began to observe the surrounding environment and think about how to get rid of the pursuit of those men in black.
Suddenly, he saw an entrance in the corner of the cave. Chi Yu walked closer and found that the entrance was covered with moss, and it was obvious that no one had been in or out for a long time.
His heart moved, and he took Tang Wan's hand: "Wan Wan, let's go this way."
The two of them moved cautiously. The tunnel at the entrance was narrow and damp, and the ground was wet and slippery. If they were not careful, they would fall.
Chi Yu hugged Tang Wan tightly, fearing that she would fall.
Fortunately, after they walked for a while, the road became much wider and there was a faint light ahead.
After finally coming out, they subconsciously looked around. There were tall trees and overgrown weeds everywhere.
Listening carefully, there seemed to be sounds of fighting not far away, and it sounded very intense.
The clanging of swords and knives made people feel uneasy. Chi Yu instinctively felt that this place was too dangerous, so he pulled Tang Wan and hid in a bush not far away.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Tang Wan felt her legs become numb from squatting, and then she patted Chi Yu's shoulder: "No sound, are they gone?"
Chi Yu's eyelashes trembled, and he looked up at her solemnly: "You wait here obediently, I'll go take a look first."
Tang Wan knew that he didn't have much ability to protect himself, so when she heard him say this, she immediately became anxious: "Why are you going there? It's so dangerous, we might as well go back the way we came."
"I'm sorry, I have to go. I think there's someone very important there."
"Then I'll go with you. I can't let you take the risk alone." Tang Wan's eyes were firm, and she didn't retreat at all.
Chi Yu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, then you follow me, if anything goes wrong, you leave immediately, understand?"
Tang Wan didn't want to waste any more time: "Okay."
Perhaps because they were too frightened along the way, they both walked very lightly, held their breath, and slowly approached the place where the sound had just come from.
A man in silver armor, holding a long sword in his hand, half-knelt on the ground, his body covered in blood, and around him were corpses lying everywhere.
His face was still stained with deep red blood. A branch was accidentally stepped on with a "crunch." The man immediately looked over with a sharp gaze: "Who?"
Chi Yu recognized that the armor was the special armor of the Silver Armor Guards, and he felt relieved. He held Tang Wan's hand and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, he is not a bad person."
Chi Yu took a few steps forward, wanting to take a look at the man's face. But when they looked at each other, the man's pupils suddenly dilated: "Your Highness..."
Chi Yu quickly covered his mouth, preventing him from speaking again: "Shut up."
Chi Yu winked at him, and only let go of his hand when the man nodded weakly.
Tang Wan watched his movements and asked doubtfully, "Ayu, do you...know this person?"
