"You... who are you? Are you the one sent by Her Highness the Princess to rescue us?"
Looking at the figure in front of her that was getting closer and closer to her, Xia Qingyi clenched her hands tightly, suppressed the tension and expectation in her heart, and asked the person who came with a little trepidation.
"yes."
Wu Chen glanced at the group of children huddled in the corner of the hall behind the girl and spoke in a tone as low as possible.
“That’s… so good!”
Xia Qingyi couldn't help but burst into tears upon hearing this, and then she collapsed to the ground. She had been so nervous that she finally let go of the heavy burden on her heart and gasped for breath.
"Little girl, have you seen A Zuo?" Situ Ye, who came in later, asked Xia Qingyi who was slumped in front of Wu Chen.
"A Zuo? Is that Shan Zuo? He just covered our escape from the secret passage and should still be fighting with the evil Taoist priest in the secret room under the big kitchen. Hurry up and save him!" Xia Qingyi said anxiously.
"Little girl, we just came from the secret room in the big kitchen. There was only a group of dead Taoists in it, and we didn't see A Zuo." Situ Ye said solemnly.
"Could it be that he just missed you when he went out? Maybe he is looking for us now, or trying to contact you." Xia Qingyi, who had regained her composure, analyzed seriously.
"Second brother, she has a point. Third brother cast the 'Searching for Her Powder' on that kid Shan Zuo, and just now 'Good Sister' has followed the Guide Bee to find him, so he should be fine."
"Our most urgent task now is to escort these children out first, and then come back to settle accounts with those stinky Taoist priests." Wu Chen touched the twelve scars on his shiny bald head and spoke seriously for the first time.
"Um."
Situ Ye nodded slightly. The Taoist priests were almost here, so they had to leave as soon as possible.
"Little girl..."
"Big brother, my name is Xia Qingyi."
"Okay, Xia Qingyi, I think they seem to trust you quite a bit. The Taoist priests who are coming to arrest you are almost here, so we must evacuate as soon as possible. This place is closer to the back door, so let's retreat there." Situ Ye said decisively.
"good."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingyi turned around and said to the more than one hundred children huddled in the corner of the main hall, "Everyone, cheer up! Our rescuers are here, at the back door of the Taoist temple. We just need to retreat there and meet up with them, and we'll be fine."
"Everyone, listen up! Just like when we escaped the secret passage just now, we'll still line up according to age. The youngest will go in front, and the older ones will go behind. No one can be left behind. Let's get out of this damn place together!"
As Xia Qingyi finished speaking, the children lined up in the dark as required.
Situ Ye, who was standing aside, looked at the young girl in front of him who was calmly directing the children to line up and leave the hall in an orderly manner. A hint of admiration flashed across his eyes.
Xia Qingyi was born to be a general. If she could be properly nurtured, she would have a bright future...
“Ouch!”
Just as Situ Ye was planning to train talents for Hua Qingcheng, a little girl about six or seven years old fell in front of Situ Ye.
"Girl, are you okay?"
Situ Ye picked up the little girl who fell to the ground with one hand. For some reason, he felt inexplicably familiar with the child, so he picked her up in his arms.
"Big brother, you are so tall! You are almost as tall as my dad!" The little girl hugged Situ Ye's neck in admiration.
"hehe……"
Hearing the little girl's innocent and childlike words, Situ Ye couldn't help but smile.
"So your father is tall too!"
Situ Ye doted on the little girl's nose. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he knew she must be a very cute little girl.
"Of course. My dad is as tall as my big brother. As tall as a tree."
"What's your name, little girl?"
"Big brother, my name is Tianzheyi."
"Tian Zheyi? Last name Tian?"
Situ Ye was slightly surprised when he heard this. The surname "Tian" was extremely rare in Laifeng Country, and even in Zhaoyang Country it was rare...
The most important thing is that she and Tianlang both have the surname Tian... Is it because of this that I feel inexplicably close to this child?
"Of course. Because my father's surname is Tian, and my father's name is..." the little girl said proudly.
"Second brother, it's time to go. Those Taoist priests are almost here." Wu Chen couldn't help but urge Situ Ye when he saw him chatting with the child.
"Tian Zheyi, let's leave here first. We'll talk about other things after we get out." Situ Ye did not put down the child in his arms, but directly carried her out of the back door of the hall.
"good."
Tian Zheyi inexplicably felt a sense of security towards this big brother in front of him who was as tall and strong as his father. After being carried by him for a while, he actually fell asleep on his shoulder.
After Situ Ye and Wu Chen took the children out of the hall, they took advantage of the darkness of the night, took a detour through the red rose field, and evacuated towards the back door of Xiangyang Temple.
After a while.
"Brother Mingde, look, the back door of the main hall seems to have been violently destroyed."
The Taoists who came to search for the child found that the back door was gone as soon as they opened the door of the main hall.
"hateful!"
"I'm a step too late!"
"They did hide here before, and they must have left not long ago. Everyone, hurry up and go find them!"
Taoist Mingde looked at the back door that was kicked in with a serious expression.
