“I don’t trust you. You’ve long chosen to stand with the King of Xinan’s Residence because of this unfilial daughter of the Jian family. In other words, you’re Yu Yunxi’s lackey! I won’t believe a word you say,” Gao Shixuan said mockingly.
‘A lackey?’
Luo Xiuran was also furious. After not seeing Gao Shixuan for a few years, she had grown even more arrogant than before. However, the little bun was in her hands so he could only endure it. Helpless, he could only say appeasingly, “Gao Shixuan, I’ll look for your Eldest Senior Brother now. Wait here.”
“I don’t want to wait here. Meet me at the Thousand Intoxication Restaurant. If I don’t see Eldest Senior Brother in an hour, I won’t be polite to this bast*rd!” Gao Shixuan said before she turned to leave.
Luo Xiuran and Qian Qing naturally would not allow her to leave so easily. The two of them attacked immediately.
However, at this moment, ten men in black who were highly skilled in martial arts suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Their martial arts were mysterious, and each of their moves was lethal.
Qian Qiang and Luo Xiuran were outnumbered, and in the end, they could only retreat.
This was Xinan, but Gao Shixuan actually managed to sneak so many experts into the city. No one would believe it if she said she did not do something to Xinan while she was here.
Seeing that Gao Shixuan was about to leave with the little bun, Qian Qing lowered her hand that was holding the sword and said helplessly, “I’ll go with you.”
“Oh? You want to be my hostage as well?” Gao Shixuan said with a faint smile, looking interested.
“Qian Qing,” Luo Xiuran called out anxiously. He knew Gao Shixuan very well. Although she was obedient and docile in front of Feng Yili and their master, she was completely different when they were not around. He could not imagine what kind of danger Qian Qing and the little bun would face in her hands.
However, Qian Qing acted as though she did not hear Luo Xiuran. She was worried about the little bun. Back then, the little bun was kidnapped once, and it greatly traumatized him. For so many years, the King of Xinan’s Residence had been very careful, afraid that such a thing might happen again. As such,
she absolutely could not let the little bun face this alone.
Qian Qing clenched her hands as she asked angrily, “Since you want hostages, two is better than one, right?”
Gao Shixuan raised an eyebrow. Her expression was unreadable. She considered Qian Qing’s words for a moment before she said, “You’re right. In that case, follow me.’
As soon as these words fell, one of the men in black next to Qian Qing knocked her out.
“Qian Qing!”
Luo Xiuran was burning with anxiety. However, based on Qian Qing’s determined gaze earlier, he knew that she wanted to follow and protect the little bun. He took a deep breath and said to Gao Shixuan expressionlessly, “We’ll meet again in an hour. They better be unharmed. Otherwise, not only your Eldest Senior Brother, but I also won’t let you off. We’ll hunt you down to the end of the world!”
Gao Shixuan pursed her lips before she smiled. “Of course. They’re my hostages after all. I’ll treat them properly…’
Luo Xiuran clenched his hands and gritted his teeth as he watched more than ten men in black escort Gao Shixuan away. Not daring to waste time, he immediately turned around and rushed to the military camp.
In the military camp.
Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili were talking to Shen Si about the snow lotus.
Hope burned in Shen Sit s eyes when he heard their words. His eyes were slightly wet as he said, “If that’s the case, then there’s hope for Hezhi..
Although Shen Si was usually strict with Shen Hezhi, as a father, how could he not love his son? If Shen Hezhi could be saved, he would have no regrets even if it meant that he would lose his life.
“Nan Xun and many of Nanyue’s generals are in our hands. Perhaps we can use them to make demands…” Yu Yunxi said.
Shen Si nodded. “Indeed.”
“However…’
Yu Yunxi frowned slightly and told Shen Si that Gao Shixuan might be lying in ambush in the city. She also reminded him that the gunpowder had yet to be found and that it was their greatest danger.
Shen Si’s expression turned solemn again when he heard these words. He said in a low voice, “A few days ago, Nanyue was advancing toward the city so I neglected this matter. It’s time to conduct a full search.”
“I’m just worried that Gao Shixuan has taken action,” Yu Yunxi said with a frown.
The enemy was hidden in the dark, and they were out in the open. This feeling was really not good.
“Godfather, the place where Nan Xun has to be heavily guarded. We can’t afford any accidents,” Yu Yunxi said seriously.
“Yes. I’ve already instructed people to guard it day and night.”
At this moment, Luo Xiuran rushed in. He said anxiously, “Yili, Yunxi, something happened! Gao Shixuan took Junjin and Qian Qing away!”
‘What?’
Yu Yunxi’s expression changed drastically. She turned around and asked urgently, “What happened?”
Feng Yili’s expression was grim. He walked over and held Luo Xiuran up before he said in a low voice, “Hurry up and explain.”
Luo Xiuran took a deep breath before he recounted everything to them.
Yu Yunxi’s eyes were red, and she panicked. She blamed herself for not protecting the little bun well. This was a special time, and she should have told the little bun to stay in the residence. She became even more anxious when she recalled the time the little bun was kidnapped.
Feng Yili turned around and saw the self-blame on Yu Yunxi’s face. He said in a low voice, “This is not your fault. Gao Shixuan’s goal is me. I’ve implicated
Junjin and Qian Qing.”
Shen Si slammed his hands on the table and rose to his feet as he said angrily, “I’ll get people to surround the Thousand Intoxication Restaurant immediately!”
‘Junjin is such a sensible child. He can’t suffer any more harm!’
“I’ll go to the Thousand Intoxication Restaurant now,” Feng Yili said in a deep voice.
Although Yu Yunxi did not say anything, she had already begun to move. She rushed out of the tent and rode her horse out of the military camp, making her way to the Thousand Intoxication Restaurant.
Luo Xiuran quickly chased after Feng Yili.
At the same time, Shen Si gathered a team of elite soldiers before leading them to the Thousand Intoxication Restaurant.
At the Thousand Intoxication Restaurant.
Gao Shixuan sat on a chair and leisurely sipped from her teacup.
A man in black carried a bucket of cold water in before splashing it at the unconscious Qian Qing and the little bun.
Qian Qing and the little bun were instantly woken up by the cold water. When they looked down, they saw that they were already tied up.
Qian Qing turned to the side and asked the little bun worriedly, “Little Master, are you okay?”
“Aunt Qian Qing, why are you here? Did I implicate you?” the little bun said, reacting quickly. He could instantly guess that Qian Qing was here because of him…
