Lei Tingjun instinctively reached out and touched a small knife, which was precisely embedded in his anus...
Looking at the blood on his hands, a murderous glint flashed in Lei Tingjun's eyes.
Who on earth would dare to plant a hidden weapon in such an embarrassing place? He must kill that person!
However, the most important thing now is to get Youyou to a safe place.
In the dim light of the fire, Xu Youyou saw the blood on Lei Tingjun's hands and was startled. She asked worriedly, "Tingjun, how are you? Where are you hurt?"
Lei Tingjun remained silent for a moment, then said, "Youyou, there's an ambush here. We need to leave quickly."
After saying that, he was about to use his lightness skill to leave when he heard the sound of air being cut through again.
Lei Tingjun smiled coldly, his chiseled face telling him it was just a petty trick. If he hadn't been careless just now, he wouldn't have fallen for it so easily. This person was really bold, daring to try again.
Thinking this, he subconsciously channeled his inner strength and pushed the projected object away into the distance.
But then I heard a crackling sound.
Lei Tingjun was suddenly stunned. What had just flown over was actually a string of firecrackers?
The loud firecracker noise successfully woke up the people around.
Who is it?
"Who would set off firecrackers in the middle of the night? What, did you dream about the God of Wealth?"
"Oh my god, what is this thing? Why is it so dark?"
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively added more branches to the dying fire to make it burn brighter and allow them to see their surroundings more clearly.
"Tingjun, what should we do? Is there any way we can escape?" Xu Youyou asked softly.
Lei Tingjun was also helpless, because just as the firecrackers went off, he was stabbed in the buttocks again.
This stab was much more vicious than the last one. He only managed to keep quiet in front of Xu Youyou because of his pride.
Before he could explain, a hoarse voice shouted, "Look over there, there's a man in black. He's trying to run away with Xu Youyou!"
The sound instantly drew everyone's attention to the vicinity of the Xu family.
"My God, there really is a man in black!"
"Xu Youyou truly lives up to her reputation as the most talented woman in the capital. Even after being exiled, she still has people helping her escape!"
Just then, the constables arrived. As soon as they saw the man in black beside Xu Youyou, they immediately drew their swords and rushed over.
Who is it?
Lei Tingjun wanted to retaliate in a stylish manner, but any movement would aggravate his injury. Helpless, he could only lower his sleeves, allowing a signal flare to slide smoothly into his hand.
Lei Tingjun was preparing to launch a signal flare into the night sky to signal the guards who were lying in wait nearby to come quickly.
But then they heard that annoying hoarse voice shout again: "Everyone, quickly splash water on his hands! He's going to poison us with poison gas!"
The onlookers instinctively obeyed the voice, picked up nearby water bags, and splashed water at Lei Tingjun.
The constables also realized what was happening and swung their long swords even harder at Lei Tingjun's hand, giving him no chance to pull out the signal flare.
Soon, the signal flare in Lei Tingjun's hand was completely dud after being splashed with water, and he also suffered many knife wounds.
"Brothers, if we catch this guy, we'll have done another good deed. He's got some nerve, daring to snatch an exiled criminal. He'll be beheaded!"
As the head constable spoke, he chopped even harder.
Lei Tingjun had no time to dodge. He thought he would have to take the hit head-on, but he saw a dark figure suddenly appear beside him, pick him up, and run away without lingering for a moment.
Xu Jinhuan, who had been quietly causing trouble, felt a pang of regret upon seeing this scene. She guessed that this might be the power of fate, that the protagonist always has someone to help him.
However, she didn't lose out this time either, as she not only hurt the male lead but also kept the female lead alive.
Especially after seeing Xu Youyou's depressed expression not far away, Xu Jinhuan's irritability vanished.
Haha, are you surprised?
Xu Youyou, this is just the beginning. There are even bigger surprises waiting for you...
Xu Youyou, who was being thought of, felt dizzy and lightheaded. If Xu Tianzhou hadn't caught her in time, she probably would have fallen to the ground.
Xu Youyou really couldn't understand how things had turned out this way, when everything was going so smoothly. Most importantly, Tingjun had actually abandoned her and run away!
Xu Youyou valued this love extremely highly, but now it seemed like she had been slapped in the face, and the one who slapped her was none other than the man she loved most.
The onlookers, seeing Xu Youyou's dejected appearance, began to whisper among themselves.
"Luckily we found out early, otherwise if Xu Youyou had really run away, we would have been accused of being accomplices, and we would have had nowhere to seek justice."
"Yes, I didn't expect Xu Youyou to be so charming that she could make someone risk their life to save someone."
The constables exchanged glances after hearing these words. They figured that if someone died on the road, so be it; it wasn't their fault.
If someone sneaks out, and the news spreads, it will be the guards responsible for escorting the goods who will suffer.
So, the head constable rolled his eyes and immediately gave the order, "Someone, take that woman to our camp and have someone keep a close eye on her."
"Yes, boss."
The constables who had been grinning lewdly at Xu Youyou's back exchanged glances, and they all understood what the other meant.
This is like a perfect opportunity; I just couldn't find a chance to get close to this woman!
Startled by the two men's gazes, Xu Youyou retreated repeatedly and turned to seek help from her family.
"Father, Mother, eldest brother, second brother, and younger brother, please come and save me!"
When Xu Tianzhou saw Xu Youyou crying with tears streaming down her face, he wanted to say a few words in her defense, but his older brother Xu Tianlei stopped him.
“Tian Zhou, why have you become as impulsive as your second brother? This order was given by the head constable. If you go now, aren’t you openly disobeying his orders?”
"You embarrassed him in public like that; neither we nor Youyou will get away with it. Even if we wanted to plead for him, we'd have to do it secretly."
Of course, the latter part was a lie told by Xu Tianlei to Xu Tianzhou and Xu Youyou. Given the current state of the Xu family, how could he possibly waste his energy on a sister who was not related to him by blood?
but……
Xu Tianlei thought of the man in black who had suddenly appeared.
Their family couldn't completely sever ties with Xu Youyou yet. What if that person brought helpers next time, and out of respect for Xu Youyou, they might rescue their family as well?
Xu Youyou noticed that the Xu family members had been whispering amongst themselves for a long time without saying a word, so she figured they probably didn't dare to openly challenge the constables.
The anger in her eyes grew stronger, directed at the Xu family, at those who had caused trouble that night, and at Lei Tingjun.
In short, in Xu Youyou's eyes, it was always others who wronged her, and she could never have done anything wrong.
The constables brandished their long knives in front of the Xu family, and were satisfied to see them cowering like quails. Then they grabbed Xu Youyou's arm and headed straight for where they were resting.
Meanwhile, Lei Tingjun was also taken back to the camp where the secret guards were stationed by the commander of the secret guards.
"Master, are you alright? I'll take you back to the city right away."
