Chapter 145: Bosom Friends (5)
Xue Chunyue really underestimated Zhang Hongyi's ability......
Soon after, an weathering scandal suddenly ignited the entire streets and alleys of Changxing - Xue Peiqi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the county lord of Yi'an, once had a spring breeze in the thatched inn on the outskirts of Changxing......
Xue Peiqi couldn't sit still, and impulsively wanted to lift his sword to Zhang Hongyi, but Xiao Tingchu hugged him fiercely before finally stopping him.
Xiao Tingchu was also under pressure from the Xiao family, but she couldn't change Xue Peiqi's history, and she didn't expect him and Yi'an to dare to break through the bottom line...... The matter has come to this point, no matter how much she dwells on the past, it will not help, so she can only suppress the pain in her heart and pretend that nothing happened in front of Xue Peiqi.
But the development of the situation is becoming more and more uncontrollable!
Immediately afterwards, Yi'an's child, Qi'er, was taken away in the middle of the night......
The robbers seemed to have the idea of death, and did not talk about any conditions, as long as the child's biological parents came to pick it up in person with a ransom of 10,000 taels.
Yi An forced herself to calm down, and took heavy steps to Xue Chunyue's mansion to discuss rescue matters with him. Although Yi'an, who has experienced the wind and waves, has calmed down a lot, but now that it is about her own flesh and blood, she can't control her emotions at all, her limbs are cold, and her whole body is trembling.
Ye Qinyu held her hand tightly and looked at Xue Chunyue anxiously, "Otherwise, we will report to Your Majesty ......"
"No!" Before Xue Chunyue could respond, Yi'an decisively refused, "Qinyu...... Back then, it was my mother who was sorry for you...... Although I have never told you about the catastrophe on the outskirts of Luo'an, I believe you can also guess that it was arranged by the concubine...... The mother concubine grew up in a family of eunuchs, and knew that the imperial court attached great importance to her face, and this kind of thing would never be private with the robbers, and she would inevitably send troops to encircle and suppress it, and exterminate the nest...... You...... You've experienced it, you should know that if the imperial court sends troops, Qi'er still has a chance of surviving......"
Ye Qinyu bit her lower lip tightly and nodded tearfully, the disability of her little finger always reminded her of the painful past, and now Yi'an's pain, how could she not have a relative?
"Chunyue ......", Ye Qinyu was also panicked at this time, and looked at Xue Chunyue sadly.
"I'll go with Yi'an, don't worry. Remember, you must block the news from Pei Qi, if he knows that Yi An is in danger, he will rush to the rescue at all costs, and if he also shows up, then the fact that he is the biological father of the child cannot be covered......"
Yi An was startled, and looked at Xue Chunyue helplessly with teary eyes, "What do you mean...... Some people already suspect that Pei Qi is Qi'er's biological father, and this catastrophe is deliberately trying to lead him to appear? β
"There will be no second possibility. Therefore, Qinyu, you must stabilize Pei Yu, and I have arranged for Xuecheng to do other things that should be done, if there is no accident, the other party will not get evidence about Pei Yu and Yi'an. β
Ye Qinyu nodded solemnly.
Early in the morning of the second day, Xue Chunyue and Yi'an went to the strange stone abyss on the outskirts of the city as promised, and the robbers set the location of the ransom here, which was really full of confidence and provocation.
"Qi'erβ"
Seeing the familiar swaddling clothes in the other party's arms, Yi'an finally collapsed and fell to her knees, "The father of the child and I are here, and the ransom has also been served...... Please, spare my child......"
Xue Chunyue protected Yi'an behind him, stepped forward and said, "The silver ticket is for you...... Take it easy...... Yi'an and I came alone, without any retinue or guards......"
The leader slowly raised his sword, pointed at Xue Chunyue, and said contemptuously, "I said it, if the child's biological parents come, I will give you another half an hour, and if you can't see another Lord Xue, the child will fall into the abyss!" β
"Noβ"
Seeing that the man lifted the child high and was about to go down the abyss, Yi'an couldn't help but want to rush over, but was hugged by Xue Chunyue, "Don't go over, otherwise you and the child won't survive!" β
"Lord Xue, you only have half an hour, don't you need to fly pigeons? Haha......"
Xue Chunyue settled down and replied calmly, "I am the biological father of the child, I don't know who you are waiting for!" β
"Hmph...... Since Master Xue is so categorical, we won't go around in circles. To tell you the truth, I fed the child a strange poison to break the love, the beauty of this poison is that even if there is an antidote, the poisoner itself is ineffective, you need to take the antidote at the same time as the biological parents, and then feed it with their own wrist and mouth blood, in order to detoxify! I estimate that there is still half an hour, and the child should be poisoned, Lord Xue, you ...... If you still insist, then hurry up and take the antidote with the county lord's mother, try the wrist blood of the two of you, can you save the child, hahaha......"
Yi An's head shuddered and she closed her eyes in pain......
Xue Chunyue clenched his fists, and his muscles flared up, but what surged up in his heart was a deep sense of powerlessness...... If it is as they say, then he will not be able to save Qi'er no matter what......
Xue Chunyue walked over step by step, reached out and took the small white porcelain bottle containing the antidote, and was about to pour out the antidote-
"Lord Xue, let me remind you again, there are only two antidotes in the bottle, one for you and the county lord, and it will be gone after taking it, so ...... Think twice...... Hahaha......"
Xue Chunyue clenched the porcelain vase, trembling slightly......
"Whoosh-"
Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew and hit the center of the thief's eyebrows!
said that it was too late, Xue Chunyue walked over with an arrow, snatched the child in the man's hand, and turned around quickly, the child was unharmed and still asleep......
A few black-clothed people suddenly flew out from behind Xue Chunyue and chased after the robbers!
"Keep your mouth alive!" , Xue Chunyue roared, holding the child in one hand and Yi'an in the other, turned around and retreated!
"Whoosh-"
Another sharp arrow!
But this time, it was shot from the other side's direction!
Seeing that the sharp arrow was about to pierce Xue Chunyue's back, Yi'an used all her strength to push Xue Chunyue away, and the sharp arrow was inserted into her chest so fiercely!
"Yi'an!"
Xue Chunyue was pushed out by Yi'an and stumbled a few times, and after coming back to her senses, she hurriedly turned around to catch her who was about to fall to the ground!
Yi fell into Xue Chunyue's arms steadily, his brows tightened due to pain, and the sharp arrow in his chest had penetrated his heart......
"Yi'an! You ......", Xue Chunyue hugged her tightly in his arms and looked at her with a look of horror.
Yi An twisted her eyebrows, looking at the sleeping child in his arms, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and after a while, she reached out and grabbed Xue Chunyue's clothes, and said with a struggle, "Pei Qi...... Antidote ......"
"Pei Qi, yes, Pei Qi! Learn sincerely! Stop chasing and come back! β
Xuecheng motioned for a few people to continue chasing, he hurriedly returned to the defense, and when he came over, he knew that Yi'an was injured!
"Xuecheng, immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book to Peiqi, let him come over immediately!"
"Second master? The second master is here! The second master is here! Second master! β
Xuecheng pulled his neck and shouted forward, only to see one of the black-clothed men quickly turn around and run, and after seeing Yi'an who fell to the ground, he tore off the black cloth covering his face and hugged Yi'an back into his arms!
"Yi'an...... How so...... I'm here...... I'm ......"
Xue Peiqi clenched Yi'an's hand and trembled violently.
Xue Chunyue arranged for Xuexun and Xuecheng to act together, and waited for the opportunity to rescue with a few loyal masters. Xue Peiqi saw the clue and forced Xuexun to ask, Xuexun had no choice but to tell it all, he joined the ranks of the men in black without saying a word, and was already ambushed a mile away from Qishiyuan in the early morning.
"The antidote ......", Yi'an was already angry, his brows became tighter and tighter, and his face became whiter and paler.
Xue Chunyue woke up at this time, and hurriedly poured out the antidote in the bottle, and sure enough, as the other party said, there were only two pills......
One grain was fed to Yi'an, and one grain was handed to Xue Peiqi......
Xue Peiqi was puzzled and looked at Xue Chunyue in a daze......
"You give me something to eat!" , Xue Chunyue roared!
Xue Peiqi didn't know what to do, so he had to take it and swallow it in one gulp.
"Wrist out!" , Xue Chunyue held back the tears in his eyes, his green muscles burst out, and he pulled Xue Peiqi's left hand fiercely, and he slashed hard with the sword!
The blood on his wrist gushed out, and Xue Chunyue hurriedly dipped it a little, and fed it to Qi'er's mouth tremblingly......
"Yi'an...... It's your turn......" Xue Chunyue endured her grief, pulled her wrist, lightly cut it, and also stained it with some blood, and fed it to the child's mouth......
Yi'an saw that the child drank the blood from the wrists of the two, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and fell heavily into Xue Peiqi's arms.
"This is ......", Xue Peiyu was puzzled, but Xue Chunyue didn't speak again, but gently put the child back into Yi'an's arms, struggled to get up, and staggered back step by step......
The last time is left to their family of three......
On Xue Peiqi's face, sweat, tears, and blood had already been mixed together, and the shouts for Yi'an had gone from shock, to anxiety, to grief......
"Pei Qi......" Yi'an raised his hand with difficulty, wanting to touch his face, but he didn't have half the strength.
Xue Peiqi grabbed her hand and brought it to his face, "I'm ...... Yi'an, I'm ......."
A smile appeared on Yi'an's pale face again, "Qi'er...... Do you like it? β
"Like! I like it! She's a lot like you......"
"No...... She...... She's like you......"
"What?!" Xue Peiqi trembled, and the hand holding Yi'an trembled violently, "What did you say?!" β
"Qi'er...... It's our children...... That's where her name comes from...... Strange Stone Abyss...... Where we met......"
"What are you talking about......", Xue Peiqi opened his scarlet eyes, forcibly suppressed the grief in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Why ......"
"That night, I wasn't drunk, but I was only when I was drunk...... Pei Qi, you are the first man who takes such good care of me, you save me from the edge of the cliff, and then ...... We go from sunset to night...... You just led the horse quietly and accompanied me quietly...... Pei Qi, after I leave, I will hand over the child to Su Yuming and Ye Cizhun ...... Yu Ming...... She loved our kids...... When she was in Luo'an, she hugged Qi'er, and she was reluctant to let go......"
Yi'an's concerns, Xue Peiqi understood that once he brought this child back, their relationship would be hidden, and all the efforts and sacrifices made now would be in vain......
"No...... I don't want any reputation or status, and I go back to Haizhou with my children to live in seclusion...... We spend the rest of our lives in peace! β
When Yi'an heard him say this, she was anxious, and she felt even more painful about the wound, and spit out a mouthful of blood, and could only gasp for air.
"Yi'an! I'll take you back to see the doctor...... Yi'an ......", Xue Peiqi also knew that it was all in vain, but he was at a loss, completely lost his mind, and he didn't know what to do to save the lover in his arms......
"Pei Qi, will you listen to me once...... Give the child to Yu Ming ......", Yi'an grabbed the child's swaddling clothes, very reluctant, and burst into tears......
Xue Peiqi was dripping with grief, and he could only nod heavily in his heart.
Yi An finally put her mind at ease, and the corners of her mouth overflowed with the last smile, "Pei Qi, I really can't bear you...... I used to think that just looking at you from a distance was enough, but now, I don't think it's enough, it's not enough...... I'd like to hear you call me again...... That night...... You call my ......"
"Yi'er...... Yi'er ...... Yi'er! β
Xue Peiqi clenched her gradually cold hand, wailing and shaking the wild......
