Chapter 38: Shocking Change (4)
Tianjin woke up on horseback, feeling her back against a strong chest, she subconsciously spoke.
"Ayu, where is this?"
Xie Yan's body froze instantly, and the hand around her waist quietly withdrew. He helped her to sit down, then rolled over and jumped off the horse.
The corner of Tianjin's eyes swept to his dark horned robe, and he was surprised to find that he was not Liu Yu.
Xie Yan looked at her with a light face, "Liu Gongzi is still returning to Xiangyuan, you fainted in the fire, and he asked Xie to take you away." ”
Tianjin thought of the group of fierce black-clothed water thieves, and immediately became nervous, "Ayu, he won't have an accident, right?" ”
Xie Yan looked away, Ying Ting's sword eyebrows were twisted into a straight line, and he really didn't want to answer. But he couldn't see her like this, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Liu Gongzi's martial arts skills are amazing, and ordinary water thieves can't embarrass him." ”
"But there are so many of them, no matter how high Ah Yu's martial arts skills are, there are times when they are outnumbered. General Xie, can you ......" Tianjin gritted his teeth, "Can you please help him?" ”
Xie Yan: "If I leave, what will you do?" ”
Tianjin raised his eyes and looked around, "I'll find a place to hide, so I can take care of myself." General Xie, please save Ah Yu from out, I beg you. ”
“……”
Listening to her so earnestly pleading with her to save another man, Xie Yan only felt a chill in his heart. His gaze looked into the distance, exuding a faint aura of indifference.
Tianjin was afraid that he would not agree, so he was about to kneel down on his knees.
Xie Yan was obviously not looking at her, but just as her knees were about to touch the ground, his hand raised slightly, stopping her from moving.
"General Xie......" Tianjin's voice was full of pleading.
Xie Yan quickly let go of her, and said in a light tone: "Get on the horse, I will send you to a safe place first." ”
"You promised?" Tianjin's heart was relieved, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.
Xie Yan didn't answer, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
He reached out to her, and Tianjin quickly handed it over.
Xie Yan hurried up, obviously the beautiful woman was in his arms, but he felt that the distance at the moment was farther than ever.
The fierce horse crossed the two streets, and was met by the deputy general Cheng Feng with someone to find him.
Xie Yan lowered his head and stared at Tianjin's side face, then pulled the reins and stopped. Without waiting for Tianjin's reaction, his arm quickly wrapped around her waist and put her down on the horse's back with a slight force.
"General!" Cheng Feng saw the woman sitting in front of him, and the astonishment in his eyes flashed.
The cold aura on Xie Yan's body did not decrease, and he commanded expressionlessly, "Look at her." So saying, he turned his horse's head and rode away without hesitation.
Cheng Feng looked at Tianjin in a lucky suit in confusion, "Tianjin girl, what happened?" Isn't it your great day? ”
Tianjin stared at Xie Yan's distant back, and a strange feeling inexplicably rose in his heart.
"Guixiangyuan was attacked by water thieves, and there was already a mess inside."
"I don't know what happened to Mother Qin and them now, the fire burned like that, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep Guixiangyuan."
"What?" Cheng Feng's face changed greatly, "It's only been a few days since I left, where did the little thief come from so bold!" Ran to the city to make trouble! ”
Tianjin shook his head, really worried in his heart, and didn't know how to answer him.
Cheng Feng didn't expect her to answer, and raised his hand to greet the attendants behind him, "A few of you protect the safety of the Tianjin girl, and the rest of you come with me!" ”
……
The fire in Guixiangyuan is getting bigger and bigger, and the surrounding buildings are also affected.
Liu Yu's auspicious clothes were already in tatters, and he was stabbed several times on his arms and thighs, and his face turned pale due to excessive blood loss. These people are really difficult, after killing one batch, another batch will come. He tried to escape several times, but they stopped him.
Xie Yan fell from the sky under such circumstances, raised his sword to block the black-clothed water thieves besieging him, and with a sweep of his eyes, he saw many colors hanging on Liu Yu's body.
"Liu Gongzi's injury is important?"
Liu Yu suddenly felt a sense of relief, and when he found out that it was him, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Where is Tianjin?" ”
Xie Yan's thin lips pursed lightly, "Liu Gongzi rest assured, Xie has arranged for his subordinates to protect her safety." ”
"Thank you!"
Liu Yujiu's heart has just settled, and it is inconvenient for the enemy to say more at present. The two of them concentrated on facing the enemy, and with Xie Yan's help, the momentum of these water thieves decreased sharply, and they were swept away in a few moments.
Liu Yu gasped fiercely, a sincere smile on his face.
"General Xie's grace to save today, Liu Yu kept it in mind, and he did not thank him, if General Xie is useful in the future, even if he speaks, he will do his best to repay him."
"Not necessarily." Xie Yan put away his long sword and inserted it into the scabbard in a dashing manner, "It is also Xie Mou's negligence that water thieves enter the city to disturb the people, and Liu Gongzi is fine." ”
He took credit lightly, did not take credit, and was frank and unrestrained, which made Liu Yu very admirable. Many of the taboos and suspicions about him before have also disappeared at this moment.
Xie Yan had no intention of talking to him more, staring at the fire in Guixiangyuan, which was already powerless, and his brows were furrowed. It seems that the people in this building are afraid that they are already more than lucky.
Liu Yu also noticed that none of the people in Guixiangyuan seemed to run out, and he blamed himself in his heart, "It's because I have affected them." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
The strange arrival of these water thieves, Xie Yan was suffering from a clue, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but look sideways.
"General Xie doesn't know, there are a lot of grievances in Jiufeng Village, Guixiangyuan is just an ordinary green building, there is no reason to attract these water thieves, most of them are coming down."
His words were reasonable, Xie Yan didn't think much about it, put away his sword and went to put out the fire.
Then he rushed to Cheng Feng, and saw that the water thieves had been annihilated, so he also led people to join the firefighting ranks and clean up the scene. The appearance of the attendants also made the surrounding people breathe a sigh of relief, no longer dodging, and took buckets and basins to help put out the fire.
The fire was extinguished, but Guixiangyuan was burned beyond recognition.
Cheng Feng led people to search the backyard for the bodies of Qin's mother and the girls in the building. After careful investigation, it was found that none of them died in the fire, but were wiped on their necks, killed with a sword, and their blood flowed out.
The methods are sophisticated and cruel, and they are chilling.
Watching the corpses being carried out one by one, Liu Yu's eyes were cracked, and he felt more and more guilty in his heart.
Someone warned him earlier, and when he sent someone to guard Guixiangyuan for a few days, he found that there was nothing abnormal, so he relaxed his vigilance. How do you know that these water thieves are so patient, I'm afraid they have already planned to do it at his wedding.
It was his carelessness that killed so many innocent people.
On the other side, Xie Yan was looking at the corpse of the water thief. These people were all unfamiliar faces, all of them looked to be in their twenties and thirties, their chests were strong and powerful, their arms and legs were muscular, and there was nothing on them that could prove their identity except weapons.
Xie Yan was thoughtful, although they were all dressed as water thieves, but his intuition told him that things were not as simple as they appeared.
"General, what to do with these corpses?" Cheng Feng stepped forward and asked.
Xie Yan: "Seal off Guixiangyuan, the body will be temporarily stored here, and someone will be sent to guard it strictly." ”
With that, he stood up, his eyes caught a glimpse of Liu Yu's stunned expression, his eyes drooped slightly for a moment, and when he raised it again, his eyes had returned to calm.
"Liu Gongzi, the Tianjin girl is still waiting for you......"
