Chapter XXXVIII

Yan Li's condition is critical, and he will die if he is not careful.

He dragged Yang Qiao's corpse and used him as a shield to dodge the arrows.

While wielding his long sword to cut off the sharp arrows shooting from all directions, he tried his best to move in the direction of Yang Yiqun. Seeing this, Yang Yiqun hurriedly asked the archers to focus on attacking Yan Li.

This also caused Yang Qiao's body to be full of arrows, like a hedgehog.

In the process, Yan Li was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and the strong dull pain made his arm lose strength and had to throw away Yang Qiao's body. With his sword in hand, he cut off two-thirds of the arrows, leaving only a short piece in the flesh.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Walk the water, go out of the water, come and put out the fire..."

At the same time, the smell of burning was in the air.

The sudden change slowed down the speed of the archers on the eaves for a moment, and taking this opportunity, Yan Li turned sideways, rolled a few times in a row, and successfully rolled in front of Yang Yiqun.

Yang Yiqun only felt that a black shadow flashed in front of him, and the next moment, the long sword that had once crossed his son Yang Qiao's neck was now hanging on his neck.

He was so frightened that his blood receded, and he trembled like chaff and said, "Your Excellency, there is something to say, something to say." "It's like the majestic appearance of the previous commander who commanded the archers to kill the mouth.

Yan Li said sharply, "Let them all stop and throw all the bows, arrows, and weapons on their bodies on the ground." ”

Yang Yiqun immediately ordered, and the archers did not move.

He shouted at them, "Are you doing the opposite? ”

The archers had no choice but to throw down their bows and arrows and weapons.

Yan Li asked again: "Where is my fiancée?" ”

Xiang Yiqun hurriedly said: "In the west wing of the backyard." ”

Yan Li asked him to lead the way.

When he arrived at the West Wing, there was no one in the room, Yan Li pressed the blade down and asked, "What about people?" ”

Yang Yiqun trembled and said, "Xu I remembered wrongly, I should be in the East Wing." ”

So Yan Li escorted him to the east wing again, which was still an empty room.

Yan Li looked at him with heavy eyes, "What about people?" ”

"I don't know." Yang Yiqun said with a sad face: "In the past, the women who were captured by my son were all placed in these two places, and I really don't know where they went. ”

"Brother Yan, is she the fiancée you are looking for?"

At this moment, a tall, thin cyan figure appeared in the doorway. The words fell, and two young women were tied up and pushed out.

It was Qi Tanying and Tinglan master and servant.

Yan Li's pupils shrank, "Shen Chao, you really have a problem." ”

"What about Gong Yunniang?"

Shen Chao's eyes were a little playful when he heard this, "Caring about other women in front of your fiancée, isn't Brother Yan a little too much?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Qi Tanying again, "Miss Qi, look at it, this is your fiancé who you saved at the risk of his life, and the first thing he cared about was not you." ”

Qi Tanying glanced at him coldly, "I haven't seen anything else, but there is a set of skills to sow discord, what is the difference between this and the long-tongued women in the market!" ”

Hearing this, Shen Chao lost a smile on his face, "Come on, bring Gong Yunniang up." ”

A moment later, Gong Yunniang was carried in, the white clothes on her body were full of blood marks, her face was like gold paper, her eyes were closed, if it weren't for the fact that her chest was still slightly undulating, I was afraid that she would be mistaken for dead.

Shen Chao said: "This Gong Yunniang has very hard bones, and she can withstand the interrogation of the Criminal Department." ”

As a torture officer, Yan Li naturally knows how cruel the criminal department's methods of extorting confessions during interrogation of prisoners are. Not to mention that Gong Yunniang is still a weak woman who is powerless, and it is already God's favor that she did not die in severe torture.

Gong Yunniang has become what she is now, and it seems that Shen Chao did not get the location of the secret room from her.

Thinking of this, Yan Li's heart was relieved. But the next moment, Shen Chao actually let him make a choice and exchange Yang Yiqun for Gong Yunniang or Qi Tanying's master and servant.

The choice of one of the two, if he chooses Ah Tan, Gong Yunniang will not be able to live.

If he chooses Gong Yunniang, Ah Tan will fall into the hands of Shen Chao.

Yan Li's hand holding the sword tightened, and soon he had a choice in his heart.

"I choose mine..."

Just as he was about to make a choice, Qi Tanying suddenly shouted first, "Choose Gong Yunniang." "She's dying.

Her words stunned everyone present. In fact, she herself doesn't know why she said this,

Shen Chao laughed out loud after hearing this, "I didn't expect Miss Qi to have a side of helping others." After laughing, he glanced at Tinglan again, "I just don't know if your servant girl is of the same heart as you." ”

When Ting Lan heard this, he immediately said: "I will always support my girl's decision, no matter whether I live or die, I will be with the girl." Despite the fear of pain and death, he remained steadfast in his support.

Shen Chao's face changed suddenly.

What a pair of master and servant who are not afraid of death.

He snatched the long sword from the guard on the side, pressed the tip of the sword against Qi Tanying's neck, and looked at Yan Li defiantly, "Lord Yan, it depends on how you choose!" ”

Yan Li naturally knew how to choose, and he firmly chose Qi Tanying from the beginning.

Just as he was about to say his choice again, he was taken a step ahead of him.

"Choose Gong Yunniang." This time, it was not Qi Tanying who made the choice ahead of him, but his boss Wu Han, Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Wu Han appeared in front of everyone in a night suit, and when he heard his choice, everyone in the room had different thoughts for a while.

Shen Chao looked at him and said, "Wu Shaoqing, this Miss Qi is the fiancée of your subordinates, your choice like this will chill the hearts of your subordinates!" ”

Wu Han's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and there was no trace of joy or anger on his handsome face. He said: "What is this, if it is needed, it is the official's own fiancée, and she can also give it up." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.

Shen Chao couldn't help but clapp, "Lord Shaoqing is really not ordinary. ”

Wu Han glanced at him and turned his head to look at Yan Li, "Replacement." ”

Yan Li immediately refused: "I won't risk Ah Tan's life." ”

Wu Han's face sank uncontrollably, "Yan Sicheng, now is not the time to indulge in the love of children. ”

They found the secret room, and also found the evidence of the Cangzhou ink corruption case, but there was a private book of wood inside. Gong Yunniang didn't mention this at the beginning, he had to ask Gong Yunniang clearly.

Yan Li did not back down.

At this moment, Gong Yunniang, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes, and when she saw Wu Han, she struggled to stretch out her hand to him, and there was a rapid ho-ho sound in her throat.

Wu Han subconsciously took a step forward, Shen Chao pointed his sword at Gong Yunniang, and shouted: "Don't come over, if you come again, I'll kill her." ”

Wu Han immediately retreated.

Gong Yunniang's eyes widened, and the outstretched hand kept grabbing it in the air, her mouth opened and closed, as if she had a lot to say.

"Shut up!" Shen Chao's expression became gloomy, it was all this time, and she was still thinking about delivering the news to Wu Han.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't gotten what he wanted, he would have killed her with one sword.
