Chapter 8: The Sword in the Chest

At Night: Abandoned Official Prison -

In the dark and damp official prison, from time to time there was a sound of "squirming" like rats and cockroaches burrowing in the grass, and Tang Xiaoxiao watched the jailer carry a corpse in front of him.

Immediately, a figure slowly came to him, and by the dim candlelight, Tang Xiaoxiao could see his face clearly.

"How are you?" Tang Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the man in front of him who had pestered him repeatedly.

Xu Xiaonian smiled and reached out to stroke her cheek, she was tied to the pillar and couldn't move, don't go over.

He leaned close to Tang Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered, "You have to go out, only I can save you, otherwise you will starve to death here." There will be no execution here, but no one will come to visit the prison, and the emperor's amnesty has nothing to do with this official prison, if you can survive, you will starve to death here. If you can't stand it, beg me to take you out, not only to provide you with delicious food and drink, but also to let you be a concubine for me, and enjoy endless glory and wealth. ”

"Don't you think about it."

"Then my poor brother will bow his head and beg me in vain, and this is the first time he has begged me since he was born. It's just a matter of words to me to take you out, after all, if I can send people in, I can take them out. Xu Xiaonian approached her face and smiled evilly, "But no one else dares to let it go except for the emperor, even if it is the prime minister of the dynasty......"

Tang Xiaoxiao clenched his fists, Tang Feng hadn't found it yet, so he couldn't die like this.

"Get me out." She said softly.

"What? I can't hear you. Xu Xiaonian straightened up and looked at her proudly.

"I said, get me out." Tang Xiaoxiao looked at him and said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, by the way, there must be conditions for saving you out, my brother can say, as long as I get you out, you will be my woman."

"What?!"

Xu Xiaonian's words made Tang Xiaoxiao shake his head, and Xu Zhouyin ...... Actually...... I wanted to argue with him, but now is not the time, let's take a step and watch one first.

In this way, Tang Xiaoxiao was successfully taken out of the abandoned official prison by Xu Xiaonian.

Ye Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that she had been rescued, but he never saw her on the second day.

"Didn't you say she was rescued? What about people? Only under Ye Zhixian's questioning did he know that Xu Zhouyin had made such a ridiculous decision.

"I'm sorry...... I can't help it...... They must not let the head of the court know about this, if it makes a big fuss, they will not be able to save her......"

"Xu Xiaonian, let me go! There's no way you're going to get me! Tang Xiaoxiao, who swore to death, was placed under house arrest in a house in the suburbs of Xu Xiaonian.

learned that Xu Xiaonian was going to overlord and take the bow, and he was going to marry her in two days, but he was in a hurry, so that not only would he lose his reputation, but everyone would know his identity, not only could he not find Tang Feng, but he would even lose his head.

She managed to escape several times, but she was all caught and tied up in the house.

Following the clues, Ye Zhixian found Xu Xiaonian's house and broke in.

"Brother Ye?!" Tang Xiaoxiao saw the savior, and his eyes moistened.

"Let's go." Ye Zhixian couldn't help but say, untied the rope and pulled her to go out.

As soon as she was rescued, she collided with Xu Xiaonian, who came back.

"Tut-tut, heroes save beauty?" Xu Xiaonian sighed and said with a smile, "Girl, you have really captured the hearts of many men, you can actually come to the door, and it is Brother Ye." ”

"Xu Xiaonian, if you let her go, then the 'drunk red dust' will be forgotten, if you don't let go, don't blame me for being polite."

Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Zhixian in surprise, he was holding his hand firmly, he actually had a dispute with Xu Xiaonian again because of himself...... It's like that jar of wine???

"Why are you still talking about that jar of wine?" Xu Xiaonian couldn't laugh or cry, "If you really want to take her away, then we will really compare with each other?" ”

"Okay." Ye Zhixian agreed without saying a word.

"Don't ...... Ay! "Tang Xiaoxiao failed to stop him, he has never seen him use force since he met Ye Zhixian, I don't know what the level is, but the opponent is a general, a general who fights in all directions! The odds are certainly not good.

Sure enough, after a while, Ye Zhixian was at a disadvantage, it was really difficult to parry, and he was knocked to the ground. Just when Xu Xiaonian was about to stab him, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't think about it, he protected Ye Zhixian in front of him, hugged him tightly and closed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, there was a muffled snort behind him, and the sword did not pierce his body.

Tang Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhixian looked behind them in surprise, but it was Xu Zhouyin who arrived at some point and blocked Xu Xiaonian's sword for Tang Xiaoxiao.

"Xu Zhouyin!" Tang Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhixian hurriedly supported Xu Zhouyin, who had fallen.

Xu Xiaonian, who stabbed Xu Zhouyin, also panicked, frowned and threw away the sword, which also allowed Ye Zhixian and Tang Xiaoxiao to take the opportunity to rescue Xu Zhouyin and return to the liao. Because it was a day off, the colleagues in the liao went out.

Yuan Xiu knew that he had made a big mistake, and when he came to apologize, he saw Ye Zhixian coming out of the living room with a bloody copper basin.

"What's going on?" Yuan Xiu, who hurriedly ran into the living room, was surprised to see the injured Xu Zhouyin.

"Go and see if the doctor is here." Tang Xiaoxiao shouted to Yuanxiu with both hands on his wounds.

Yuan Xiu hurriedly staggered out to pick up the doctor, helping inside and out, rushing to do all the hard work and wanting to atone for his sins as much as possible. Fortunately, the wound was not too deep and did not hurt the internal organs, so the doctor quickly stopped the bleeding and prescribed medicine to Tang Xiaoxiao, and she went to grab the medicine without saying a word. Yuan Xiu sent the doctor out, and Ye Zhixian hurriedly packed up the bloody things, in case the other colleagues in the hospital found out, the matter would not be able to be cleaned up.

"How's he doing?" Tang Xiaoxiao, who had decocted the medicine, walked in with the medicine.

"It seems that he has stabilized, I hope he will get better soon, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to explain in the courtyard."

Tang Xiaoxiao walked to the bed and looked at Xu Zhouyin worriedly: "Xu Xiaonian can really do it." ”

"Yuanxiu, do you have something to say?" Ye Zhixian looked at Yuan Xiu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped.

Yuan Xiu knelt down in front of them and cried: "It's all my fault, someone found me and said that if Brother Tang went to the official prison, tell him, I thought someone wanted to stop her, but I didn't expect to be arrested like this...... I dare not tell you...... If I hadn't ......"

"Get out." Ye Zhixian said coldly.

"Wait," Tang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "Do you remember who told you to tell the news?" ”

"I don't know, but it sounds official, I thought it was because the people in the court didn't want Brother Tang to take risks, so they made this decision......"

Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at Yuan Xiu: "Get up, you can't blame you for this, you are also for my good." ”

"He almost cost you your life, and you forgave him like this?" Ye Zhixian was a little angry.

"What we should worry about now is Brother Xu's injury, and also, do you want to take leave for him? The people from the Xu Mansion will come to pick him up, right? ”

But the strange thing is that Xu Fu will not take Xu Zhouyin in the future, and Xu Xiaonian will not dare to mention this matter, so this matter will be put aside for the time being.

As the days passed, it was finally time to separate and go to various places to take office. In addition to Ye Zhixian being arranged in the capital officials, Yuan Xiu and Xu Zhouyin were arranged to go to Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River and Suzhou in the north of the Jiangbei Prefecture under the prefect, while Tang Xiaoxiao still stayed with the head of the Hanlin Academy.

The number of times Ye Zhixian and Tang Xiaoxiao could meet each other became less and less, and no one broke through the abandoned official prison, and Tang Feng's clues were broken.
