"Wang Renyi." Xie Lingqin looked at the person in the lead with a cold smile.
"Yes, that's me. I just wanted to try my luck here, but I didn't expect that waiting for a rabbit to come to me would actually work."
"That's true. If you catch me, your promotion and wealth will be just around the corner."
"Yes, but I never expected that Miss Xie would survive such a huge fire."
"Didn't everyone say I was a witch with nine lives? Well, I've lost one, so I still have eight left."
Xie Lingqin patted the giant clam's hand, and the two of them took a step back.
Normally, the two of them would have no problem dealing with Wang Renyi and the dozen or so men behind him, but in the current situation, it would be difficult for them to even escape.
They could only try to stall for time and wait for Xu Yiran to arrive.
"What, Miss Xie, are you going to leave on your own, or should I have you tied up?"
Wang Renyi, with an air of absolute certainty, stepped forward with a grin and looked Xie Lingqin up and down. "Tsk tsk tsk... I really can't believe this is Miss Xie. Who was once so spirited and eloquent in the General's Mansion, who almost made me take on a maid who had lost her virginity? Now look at her pathetic state, tsk tsk tsk..."
As Wang Renyi spoke, he stepped forward and raised his hand to pinch Xie Lingqin's chin, but was slapped away by Tridacna.
"Who do you think you are, daring to be so rude to my young lady?"
Wang Renyi looked at the giant clam, flicked his hand lightly, and smiled maliciously, "What am I? I am the Vice Minister of War. And you? A mere maid. And this young lady you speak of, what are you now? The legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion? General Xie severed ties with you long ago. The future Crown Princess? Heh, but the Crown Prince publicly imprisoned you. Now, the one who most wants to kill you is the Crown Prince, isn't he?"
Xie Lingqin didn't react at first, but at the end, her heart still ached.
"By the way, you didn't know, did you? The Emperor is currently looking for a new Crown Prince's consort..."
"So, Lord Wang, are you envious? If so... run..."
Before she finished speaking, Xie Lingqin sprinkled dust from her hand, grabbed the giant clam shell, and ran behind her.
The billowing dust startled Wang Renmi and his men, who then gave chase.
"They're all injured and can't run far. We can chase them, even their corpses."
"yes."
Watching a dozen or so people run past in the alley, Xie Lingqin and Tridacna quietly stood up from under a trash can and ran back to where they had just met Wang Ren.
That's one good thing about the back alleys and lanes of the capital.
The more than a dozen alleys intersect and twist and turn, like a maze. If you are not familiar with it, you will definitely not be able to find your way out and will have to wander around for a long time.
However, she did not expect that Wang Renyi was so familiar with these back alleys and lanes.
Before long, Xie Lingqin heard footsteps behind her, and a long sword came flying horizontally, leaving a trail of blood.
Xie Lingqin winced in pain and immediately backed away, clutching her arm.
"Miss……"
"fine."
"Take it away."
Tridacna pushed Xie Lingqin forward and charged ahead, instantly engaging Wang Renyi in combat.
Xie Lingqin was not surprised that the giant clam knew kung fu. She quickly tore off her clothes and bandaged her arm. In almost an instant, she shouted and fired the small crossbow in her hand.
No sooner said than done, the giant clam tilted its body to the side, and instantly, dozens of silver needles as thin as cow hair shot straight towards Wang Renyi.
"Don't follow me."
Then, the moment Xie Lingqin saw Wang Renyi fall, she glanced at the giant clam and immediately ran to the other side.
The other party's target is her, not the giant clam; it would be better for her to go their separate ways.
While the giant clam was stunned for a moment, the seriously injured Wang Renyi swung his arm and immediately chased after Xie Lingqin.
Tridacna glanced around. How could she let Xie Lingqin be in danger? She immediately slipped to the other side, intending to flank her.
Xie Lingqin could only inhale the whistling wind blowing past her ears.
It felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, and she could almost feel her life slipping away.
She's been so badly injured and exhausted these past few days, really...
"Xiao Qin".
A soft murmur suddenly rang in her ears, and she was caught just as she was about to faint.
"Xu Yiran".
Xie Lingqin looked at him, feeling both surprised and touched.
Seeing him raise his hand to strike, he blocked Wang Renyi's sword-wielding attack with great force.
"Kill him."
Xie Lingqin gripped Xu Yiran's sleeve tightly and said coldly.
"good."
Xu Yiran held her, flipped on the spot, and as Wang Renyi stepped forward with his sword again, a wave of palm wind struck. At the same time, she somehow snatched the sword from him and spun lightly in the air.
"flutter--"
The sound of a longsword piercing flesh.
Wang Renyi stared in disbelief as his sword pierced his chest, then collapsed heavily to the ground.
Blood flowed all over the ground. Xie Lingqin looked at it, feeling a chill run through her body, yet she was filled with immense pleasure.
"Xu Yiran, it's so good to see you."
Xie Lingqin said, clutching Xu Yiran's clothes tightly, "Let's go find the giant clam. We can't lose her."
"good."
"No, young master, we cannot stay here any longer. We have already suffered losses in our search for Miss Lingqin..."
Behind her, Lü Wu landed, clearly disagreeing, but she stopped talking under Xu Yiran's gaze.
"Find giant clam shells," Xu Yiran said, leaving no room for argument.
"……yes."
Lvwu took the lead and guided the way.
"How many people did you lose?"
