The Taibai Star appeared in the sky, flickering quietly like a candle held carefully by someone.

Jiang Zuiyao lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.

This trip was a short trip for her, but she learned about Yuhe's miserable life. She recalled that Yuhe knelt in a desolate place all night, from crying in tears to roaring with rage. The scene was in her mind.

Flashed over and over again.

Yuhe was keeping watch outside at this time. He turned over and looked at the figure outside the window, adding a touch of sadness.

"Aren't you asleep yet?" Qin Nanxian asked as he was lying at the door. He was lying on the hard wooden board with only a thin blanket covering his body.

Jiang Zuiyao heard the sound and looked over. In the darkness, she replied: "Well, I can't sleep. Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

Qin Nanxian simply sat up and said, "I was wondering who took away our carriage and how our whereabouts were exposed."

Jiang Zuiyao didn't reply, because she didn't know. She had also considered this matter, but it was true that she couldn't find any trace of it. From Kyoto to here, it was smooth sailing, and she didn't find any abnormalities at all. Suddenly, something like this happened.

It was something she didn't expect.

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside.

"Boom!", accompanied by a huge sound, a ball of fire flashed out, like something exploding. Jiang Zuiyao clearly felt the vibration of the bed, which frightened her so much that she immediately sat up and looked outside in horror.

"What happened?" Jiang Zuiyao exclaimed.

Qin Nanxian immediately put on his shoes and opened the door to find out.

Jiang Zuiyao also hurried to the door to take a look. She saw that the small courtyard of the farmhouse had been blown up by something unknown, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of fireworks. At this time, Yuhe was fighting with people with swords and swords.

Everything happened so suddenly that Jiang Zuiyao felt surprised and frightened, and shouted: "Who is coming?"

No one answered her, and there was nothing in the yard except the sound of the clash of swords.

The light came on in the master bedroom of the farmhouse, and the fat village woman, wearing an outsider's clothes, opened the door and was dumbfounded when she saw the scene in her yard.

Suddenly, a man in black appeared out of nowhere, ducked behind the village woman, held a sharp dagger in his hand, and placed it on her neck.

"Ah!", the village woman screamed in fear and tried to escape, but was tightly held by the man in black, with the dagger pressed against her jaw, threatening: "Don't move, or I'll kill you."

The country woman had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. Her body was stiff and trembling slightly under the dagger of the man in black.

Jiang Zuiyao saw this and shouted: "Don't kill her!"

Qin Nanxian also said: "You are here to see us, right? If you have something to do with me, why bother an unrelated woman?"

The man in black had a black mask on his face. His face could not be seen. His voice was cold and he said, "Okay, then come over and replace her."

Qin Nanxian took a step forward and was about to go forward. Jiang Zuiyao immediately grabbed his arm and shouted: "Don't go! You can't go!"

Jiang Zuiyao knew that Qin Nanxian did not know martial arts. If he fell into the hands of the man in black, he would not be able to escape, and she would not be able to protect him.

The man in black shouted impatiently: "If you refuse, I will kill her!"

While speaking, the man in black raised the dagger, and the sharp blade instantly cut the village woman's neck, causing the village woman to scream in pain.

Qin Nanxian couldn't bear to see the innocent village woman being implicated, so he pushed Jiang Zuiyao's hand away and said, "Don't worry about me."

Immediately, Qin Nanxian stepped forward, stood in front of the man in black, and said without fear: "Let her go."

The man in black with martial arts skills was extremely fast and pushed the village woman to the ground. He raised his hand to catch Qin Nanxian and put the dagger under his neck.

Jiang Zuiyao was completely panicked. At this moment, Yuhe was dealing with four or five men in black in mid-air, unable to move away to protect Qin Nanxian.

The man in black saw Jiang Zuiyao looking at Yuhe, snorted coldly and said, "Don't count on him."

Jiang Zuiyao immediately turned to look at the man in black, wondering what he meant by this.

The man in black then added: "In order to survive, he once abandoned the lives of his companions and escaped by himself."

Could it be that the man in black refers to the incident mentioned by Qin Nanxian? Yuhe returned home seriously injured a few years ago, and all his companions died.

But what surprised Jiang Zuiyao was how could the man in black in front of him know this?

She asked with a stern face: "Who are you?"

But the man in black didn't answer the question and said: "Before sunset tomorrow, go to Daoming Inn in Rucheng and give him five hundred silver in exchange. If I don't see the silver when the sun sets, you will wait to collect his body."

Bar!"

Jiang Zuiyao was startled and asked anxiously: "Who are you?"

The man in black, whose face was covered by a mask, refused to answer. He only sneered in response, raised his hand, knocked Qin Nanxian unconscious, carried him and flew away.

"Qin Nanxian!" Jiang Zuiyao shouted in pain, but as he didn't know martial arts, how could he catch up with the man in black who was running away with Qigong?

She had no choice but to watch helplessly.

Then, the man in black who was fighting with Yu He suddenly stopped fighting, sheathed his sword in an instant, and dispersed in all directions. Under the darkness, his shadow soon disappeared.

Yuhe fell to the ground, ran to Jiang Zuiyao and asked, "Where is Qin Nanxian?"

Jiang Zuiyao frowned in despair and replied in great pain: "He was captured by a man in black."

Yuhe looked sad and replied sadly: "It seems that our carriage was taken away by this group of people to prevent us from entering the city and take advantage of the darkness of night to rob Qin Nanxian."

Jiang Zuiyao could not think about these things at this moment. All she could think about was worrying about Qin Nanxian's safety.

Yuhe replied very calmly: "You can't stay here for a long time. Follow me into the city quickly and take the carriage back to Beijing immediately."

Jiang Zuiyao looked surprised: "What about Qin Nanxian? Ignore him?"

Yu He frowned and said, "We don't know who is coming, how can we find him?"

Looking at Yuhe's extremely calm face, showing no sign of concern for Qin Nanxian's safety, Jiang Zuiyao's face turned cold.

But she said nothing, calmed down her emotions, and replied: "Is Rucheng the place you want to go to?"

Yuhe nodded: "Well, the closest one to here is to buy a carriage in the city and return to Beijing quickly."

Jiang Zuiyao secretly clenched her fists. She had already made up her mind, but she only replied: "Okay, I'll go with you."

When he turned around, he found the village woman slumped on the ground. She had not yet recovered from the shock. She looked at Jiang Zuiyao and Yuhe in horror and asked, "Who are you?"

Jiang Zuiyao replied apologetically: "I'm sorry for getting you implicated. Those men in black are looking for us and have nothing to do with you. We will leave immediately and you will be safe."

Afterwards, Jiang Zuiyao entered the house, picked up her gift, took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the village woman, saying: "Keep this money and treat your husband well."
