Ao Xi walked closer with a gun in hand. The sharp spear head slid on the ground, scaring Monkey so much that his legs went limp. He was afraid that this gentleman would get excited and stab him to death.
Compared with the monkey, Yuan Junshi seemed much calmer, with his brows lowered and no words said.
Ao Xi stopped in front of the three men and pointed his finger at Military Advisor Yuan. "We've known each other for many years, so you naturally know my temper. Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing something like this today?"
"For many years, I have been under the care of the leader of Black Wind Village. Although I had no choice today, I have betrayed the leader's trust. Whether the leader kills me or cuts me up, I have no complaints."
"Okay, then I'll grant you your wish."
Seeing Ao Xi raise his hand, Monkey's heart was in his throat. Bodhisattva, please bless my military advisor while blessing me, please!
Seeing that Ao Xi was really angry, Honggu knelt down in front of Ao Xi and hugged Ao Xi's legs, "Village leader, please calm down. This matter is ultimately my fault for not taking good care of Miss Xia. Village leader, please don't... don't..."
Honggu was talking incoherently. Even though she was deeply in love with Ao Xi, as a member of the Black Wind Village, she still valued the people in the village very much. Now that Military Advisor Yuan was going to die because of her, she really couldn't convince herself to remain silent.
Honggu raised his head and begged, "Village leader, all this is because of me. If you want to punish me, punish me!"
Ao Xi glanced at her and said, "It was an unintentional mistake. I don't blame you. Get up."
Honggu shook his head desperately, tears streaming down his face.
Ao Xi lost his patience and with a little force, he lifted Red Mushroom and pushed her aside. Seeing that she was about to rush over, Ao Xi ordered, "Hold her."
"yes."
A brother took the order.
Red Mushroom couldn't move, and cried out desperately, "Village leader, no, no!"
Honggu was torn between her conscience and her desires. If she didn't tell the truth, Monkey and Military Advisor Yuan would die because of her, but if she told it, the village chief would definitely blame her.
Seeing that Ao Xi's spear was about to penetrate Yuan Junshi's chest, Honggu closed his eyes and shouted with determination, "I let Miss Xia go!"
Military Advisor Yuan looked up at Honggu, without a trace of surprise on his face, as if he had already expected it.
Honggu cried, "I have admired you for many years, but I have to watch you marry and take concubines. I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Ao Xi had a look of anger on his face, but he suppressed it and said in a deep voice, "Where is the person?"
"I..."
Seeing that Red Mushroom was still hesitating, the monkey could not bear it any longer. He was anxious and upset. "My dear, it has come to this point. Please speak quickly."
Red Mushroom gritted his teeth and said, "I threw her down the mountain."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank. Although the Black Wind Village was not a cliff thousands of feet high, throwing someone down would still be a life-threatening situation.
"Go find it."
Ao Xi immediately ordered.
Seeing that several people took the order and left, Honggu was about to say something but stopped himself.
In fact, she hadn't said anything else. When she threw Xia Luoran down, she was afraid that Xia Luoran would scream, so she simply pulled out her tongue and cut two lines on her face.
She was scorched with jealousy at the time, and now thinking about how cruel she could be, she was afraid that if she told the village chief she would think she was too vicious, so she only told half of it.
Honggu was locked up in a cell, and the brothers went down the mountain overnight to look for Xia Luoran.
...
At the same time, a carriage was heading towards Qingyun City.
Inside the carriage, Su Man lifted the curtain and looked at the lights in the distance. She knew that Qingyun City was almost there.
It's funny that when she left Qingyun City, she replaced Xia Luoran, and when she came back, she still replaced Xia Luoran.
Fang Junye, who had been paying attention to the direction of the carriage, noticed Su Man. He pulled the reins and walked alongside the carriage. "Miss Xia, are you feeling unwell? We are about to enter the city. Please hold on a little longer."
Fang Junye's appearance is about 40% similar to Fang Junyi's, the difference is that Fang Junye's facial features appear clearer, and his every move has a natural and dignified air.
As the legitimate son of the prefect, Fang Junye was born into a life of luxury. Although Fang Junyi was also the son of the prefect, he was the second son born to a concubine. He was inferior to Fang Junyi since birth. In addition, he was unwilling to accept his life experience and wanted to make achievements to change his status. As a result, he was always shrouded in a gloomy and violent aura, which formed a sharp contrast with Fang Junye.
At the moment, although Fang Junye had a good impression of Xia Luoran, played by Su Man, he still observed the etiquette and talked to Su Man outside the car curtain.
Hearing the unconcealed concern in Fang Junye's tone, Su Man raised her chin like Xia Luoran, "Master Fang underestimates Luoran too much. What's there to be afraid of with such a small trip? Luoran is just worried about the soldiers who were injured while saving me and the money you lost."
Seeing that Su Man believed his excuse, Fang Junye took the opportunity to back down, "Miss Xia, that's not true. Since you are Junyi's sweetheart, we will be a family from now on. It's my duty to run around for my family."
Fang Junye said this without blushing or breathing heavily. If Su Man didn't know the inside story, she would probably have believed his lies.
As he was speaking, the carriage stopped.
The city gate was closed at this moment, but when the officers and soldiers at the gate saw that it was the Fang family's carriage, they didn't even dare to ask and opened the door quickly.
The gatekeeper recognized Fang Junye and stepped forward, nodding and bowing. "Master, you're back."
Fang Junye nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
The officers and soldiers looked terrified. "No, no, it's a blessing for us to serve the eldest master. Please, please, please."
"Thank you very much."
Fang Junye glanced at his confidant beside him, who understood what he meant and handed a hundred coins to the officer, "This is a reward from the young master."
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
When the officers and soldiers saw Qian, they smiled happily and quickly retreated to the side.
