C61 (1/2)

The youth looked at her, his eyes darkening a bit. ”You want to raise me?”

Wen Jiu paused, ”About that.”

If she were to say to this Little Tyrant, ”I can raise you. In the future, you can just peacefully eat soft food …” He didn't know if he would live to see the sun tomorrow.

The north wind blew at the Plum Blossom in Wen Jiu's hand, causing a few petals to fall onto the youth's forehead.

She reached out to brush away the flower petals on the youth's forehead but Xie Heng lowered her eyes, her thin lips curling up slightly, ”Miss Wen, does your words count?”

”Of course.”

Wen Jiu retracted her hand. The young man's skin was like jade, and after just a touch, it had retracted.

Xie Heng rubbed the tip of his nose, ”Then I really don't have anything to choose from.”

Wen Jiu, ”...”

What did that mean?

The two stood facing each other. The wind blew for a moment, and then the youth took the plum blossom from her hands. He turned around, his clothes fluttering in the wind. ”Then it's a deal.”

As the voice faded.

Xie Heng had already passed through the long corridor.

Wen Jiu stood in place and looked down at his hands.

She didn't do anything, did she?

This way... Agree?

Xie Heng seemed to be much easier to talk to than she had imagined.

From the looks of it, the Third Brother was more troublesome.

Wen Jiu's head hurt just thinking about Xie Xuan, and he couldn't help but rub the center of his brows.

Don't look at how quiet that man is. You can't imagine how many times he's plotted against you.

At the city gate.

The night was dark and the wind was howling. Candles were fluttering.

As soon as the guards changed wave after wave, a group of men and women in black clothing hurriedly ran over. Seeing the patrolling soldiers in front of them, they immediately hid in a dark corner of the city wall.

”Once we return to the Great Jin, this prince will definitely heavily reward you all!”

Warrick leaned against the wall and panted heavily, ”You are all meritorious officials …”

Before he even finished speaking, the other black-clothed men suddenly pulled out their blades and slashed at him. Wanyan Lingyun, who was beside them, pulled hard on Warrick, causing her to avoid the blade edge. Before she could even catch her breath, the group of black-clothed men protecting the two of them suddenly pulled their blades out and faced each other.

Warrick was shocked and angry at the same time. ”Are you all crazy?”

”Cut the crap!” Wanyan Lingyun, who was the first to realize that something was wrong, paled and shouted, ”These people are not here to save us! ”Hurry up and go!”

When Yan Lie heard this, his expression became abnormally ugly. He followed the young girl into an alleyway that was devoid of people. A group of tall black-clothed men followed behind them like shadows as they slashed their sabers through the night.

The sound of hurrying footsteps was exceptionally clear in the quiet alley. Wanyan Lingyun and Warrick were trying their best to move through, but they couldn't get rid of the black-clothed men no matter what.

”Ling Yun!” After Yan Lie couldn't run anymore, he stretched out his hand to stop her, ”Big brother doesn't want to die yet! Aren't they here to save us? Why... ”Why did you suddenly …”

When these people barged into the prison, Wanyan Lingyun thought that he had regained his freedom, but the situation in front of him, was obviously someone's doing.

Let alone bringing them back to the Great Jin, they might even die here tonight.

Wanyan Lingyun flung Yan Lie's hands away, ”If you don't want to die, then hurry up and leave!”

Even being in a cell would be better than being in one. The Great Yan Emperor was indecisive and couldn't make up his mind to kill them all.
