Chapter 329 Xie Ziheng, wherever you are, that is home
The girl's slender white fingers caressed Xie Guanlan's cheek tenderly.
She curved her round almond-shaped eyes and said, "Xie Ziheng, wherever you are, that is home."
After a pause, she looked at the people who were fighting and said, "You go help them. I will take care of myself."
Xie Guanlan snapped his fingers.
A black figure quietly gathered, and it was Yeshui who appeared beside Wen Xingluo.
Xie Guanlan touched her face and said, "Just wait for me."
The girl nodded and watched him leave in a hurry.
Xie Zhe's Linwei are very powerful.
Although Wei Ying took advantage of the situation and eliminated three of them, the remaining four were completely enraged and their moves became increasingly ferocious and vicious. Coupled with the help of hundreds of guards around them, Xie Zan and Wei Ying were almost defeated.
Just as they both flew backwards, Xie Guanlan's figure appeared behind them.
He held the two men's shoulders with one hand each and brought them to the ground safely.
Lin Wei was about to chase and kill them, but saw Xie Guanlan walking out from behind them.
The sky and earth were gloomy and dark against the backdrop of the drizzling rain. The young man was dressed in a crimson robe, but it was as glaring as flowing blood. His skin appeared sickly pale in the rain, and his narrow and classical eyebrows were gorgeous yet dangerous - like flowers curled up by a knife blade.
He slowly drew out the narrow knife.
Raindrops splashed on his blade.
In just this instant, the young man's figure appeared in front of the Lin Guards!
The Lin Guards came to their senses and tried to fight back, but they didn't know how they had angered the young man and were beaten without being able to fight back!
Blood flowers bloomed in the heavy rain.
Wei Ying stared at Xie Guanlan and commented, "He's even stronger than when he competed with Xie Zhe two months ago."
Xie Zan just smiled.
When he first entered the palace as a young man, the Lin Guards were so powerful that they suffocated him. Almost every one of them was as strong as his eldest brother. When he was beaten to death, he even felt a sense of despair - Xie Zhe was invincible in the world, could they really defeat him?
But many years later, what was once impossible became possible.
Xie Zhe has held power for too long.
He and his Linwei will eventually grow old.
This world should belong to the young.
Xie Shian and Chen Lezhi hurried over after dealing with the imperial guards in the west.
After everyone gathered together, Chen Lezhi hugged Wen Xingluo tightly, "Ningning, I missed you so much!"
Wen Xingluo was also very happy, "Lezhi, you came to save me too!"
Wei Ying looked at the two of them hugging each other and looked away unhappily.
Xie Zan raised his eyebrows and pulled Wen Xingluo over unnoticeably, "Your cousin is here to save you too."
Wen Xingluo realized that Wei Ying was unhappy, so she smiled and held her hand, "Cousin is the best to me!"
Wei Ying then snorted proudly.
Xie Shian stared at Xie Zan, wanting to say something but unable to.
Xie Zan didn't care and rubbed his head, "Let's go."
Xie Guanlan retreated to the side of the crowd.
Just as he was about to leave the execution ground, more guards suddenly appeared around him.
On the tall building opposite, Xie Zhe stood leaning against the railing, his imperial crown with twelve tassels swaying in the wind and rain, his newly-cut dark-black dragon robe looking exceptionally large and complicated.
He looked down at the crowd, his tone tinged with mockery, "Thank you, sir, for coming all this way. You're leaving in such a hurry instead of staying at my palace. It seems I don't know how to entertain guests. I've prepared some light wine in the palace. Thank you, sir, will you please?"
No one expected him to appear here.
After all, the itinerary of Xie Guanlan and others has always been kept confidential. Unless someone secretly betrayed them, Xie Zhe should never know about it.
Xie Shian subconsciously looked at Chen Yu who was hiding under a wooden board.
Shen Yu's face turned pale, he raised his hands and shouted in panic: "It's not me, it's not me!"
He is not stupid. His whole family is in Shu County. How could he betray Xie Guanlan!
Even if Xie Guanlan wanted to rebel, he had to bite the bullet and hand him the knife!
Wei Ying stared at He Yu outside the execution ground, "Is it you?"
He Yu stood under the paper umbrella, his face pale.
He came from a prominent family and was considered an upright gentleman. He never thought of informing his uncle about Xie Guanlan's visit to the capital.
What's more, he just wanted to hear Xingluo's safety, so why would he go and tell on her?
Xie Guanlan said calmly: "It's not him."
Xie Zan vaguely guessed what his elder brother was planning.
He ordered, "Stand back."
Everyone did not suspect anything and retreated.
Xie Zan glanced at Xie Xuchi who was trapped in the rubble and couldn't help but frown. Xie Xuchi was seriously injured a while ago and now he has no ability to move at all.
He fished him out easily.
Xie Shian was unhappy, "Who cares what he does? Have you forgotten the suffering my second brother suffered at his hands? Oh, where is my second brother?"
Just as he finished speaking, a loud rumbling noise suddenly came from the tall building with uneven eaves opposite!
The huge explosion made everyone's ears buzz. Wen Xingluo looked up and saw through the rain and dust that the tall building collapsed in the explosion!
She asked in surprise, "You asked my second brother to blow up that building?"
Xie Guanlan held her hand.
Yeshui explained, "It was the master who deliberately leaked the news, letting the tyrant emperor know he had come to the capital. He thought he could just sit back and wait, but he didn't know the master was deliberately setting bait to lure him in. The Second Young Master had already placed explosives in the surrounding buildings. If they could kill him, that would be great, but if not..."
He didn't say anything else, just looked into the distance with a complicated expression.
The dust in the distance cleared, and several large black bone umbrellas appeared in the rain.
Under the bone umbrella, more than ten Lin Guards surrounded Xie Zhe tightly like silent swords.
Wen Xingluo was shocked.
Such an explosion didn't hurt them at all...
Xie Guanlan didn't hesitate any longer and said, "Let's go!"
Xie Shian and Chen Lezhi prepared a lot of smoke bombs, and immediately threw a few in all directions upon hearing the words.
The smoke quickly enveloped the entire execution ground.
Xie Guanlan held Wen Xingluo in one hand and a narrow knife in the other, fought his way out of the northwest corner, and managed to escape with everyone.
The Lin Guards wanted to give chase, but the mist and heavy rain blocked their view. Xie Zan and Xie Shi'an, who were in charge of the rear guard, were not only good fighters but also extremely cunning. They soon lost their men in the maze-like crisscrossing streets and alleys.
One of the Lin Guards, whose eyes were covered with a black cloth, nodded slightly to the others, then sniffed his nose, tracking the scent of the people lingering in the air, and continued to chase them.
"Run away?"
Xie Zhe's face darkened when he heard Lin Wei's report. "Pass on my order. Seal the city gates immediately. Not even a fly is allowed to escape! Search every street and alley. I don't believe we can't find them!"
Tens of thousands of guards were mobilized.
For a while, people closed their doors and windows, and everyone in the capital was in danger.
At this time, in the small courtyard in the north of the city.
In addition to Wen Xingluo and Xie Xuchi, the Wen brothers and sisters, as well as Mei Chuyi, Zhang Tingliu and others also followed here somehow. At this time, they were lying on the ground panting like dead dogs.
Wen Xingluo glanced at everyone and said, "Pei Lin is not here."
"He ran away on his own." Wei Ying handed Wen Xingluo a leather kettle, "Drink some hot water."
Wen Xingluo had just taken two sips from the kettle when Xie Yanchen hurried in from outside.
He locked the gate and said, "Xie Zhe was protected by the Lin Guards. Although I detonated the explosives, they noticed it in advance, so I didn't hurt them."
"That's okay." Xie Guanlan wiped the water droplets off Wen Xingluo's hair with a handkerchief. "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
“That…” Shen Yu suddenly popped up, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Everyone looked at him.
Chen Yu coughed lightly and said softly, "Let's change into clean clothes first, and then have dinner. Before we go to the execution ground, I specially cooked a delicious meal for everyone..."
He finally understood why his father asked him to please Wen Xingluo and Xie Guanlan.
It turns out that Xie Guanlan was aiming for the throne!
If Xie Guanlan successfully ascends the throne, Wen Xingluo will be his queen.
By then, he would secretly become Wen Xingluo's lover, which would be a great honor for his ancestors!
His father was really foresighted!
Therefore, Shen Yu specially tied an apron and let a strand of hair fall on her forehead, looking charming and graceful, like a virtuous concubine.
