Shi Yan deliberately held Nangong Tianjiao's hand, revealing an evil smile on his face, he thought that the gem was already his own, and Nangong Tianjiao might fall into his hands, he got carried away, he calculated in his heart, the gem was in his hand, Nangong Tianjiao was in his hand, why did he chou leng gongxue obediently obey his command, why chou leng ye was not at the mercy of him.

Shi Yan had too many thoughts, and for a while he forgot that Nangong Tianjiao was a woman with martial arts, Shi Yan proudly held Nangong Tianjiao's hand, looked at Nangong Tianjiao's beautiful face, and said: "Nangong Tianjiao, what you said is really reasonable, it seems that u, this gem belongs to me, leave it to me." As he spoke, Shi Yan stroked Nangong Tianjiao's hand with both hands, wanting to open Tianjiao's clenched fingers.

Nangong Tianjiao's face slowly became gloomy, her eyes glared at Shi Yan, and she instantly lost the gentleness she had just now.

I saw Nangong Tianjiao suddenly exert his strength, and his wrist snapped over, clasping Shi Yan's wrist. Shi Yan suddenly realized that Nangong Tianjiao's attitude had changed, and then he came to his senses, knowing that Nangong Tianjiao had overturned, but it was too late.

Nangong Tianjiao grabbed Shi Yan's wrist and squeezed it hard, Shi Yan screamed, and his wrist joint was dislocated, so painful that Shi Yan shouted: "Nangong Tianjiao, what do you want to do?

Nangong Tianjiao sneered and said: "Lord Shi, don't you want the gem in my hand? Unfortunately, this gem of mine is a token of love between Leng Gongxue and me, how could I give it to you? I have already seen through you traitors, you and Wang Wei colluded with each other to persecute Leng Gongxue's family. ”

Shi Yan's face was distorted in pain, and he grinned and said: "Nangong Tianjiao, you are so vicious, you actually cheated the old man, I won't let you go, don't you see my thousands of troops? Even if you use people, you can all be tired to death." You and Leng Gongxue are dead and have the idea of escaping. ”

Nangong Tianjiao looked at the archers and guards around her, she knew that her body had been exhausted, and Leng Gongxue was also injured, and it took a lot of internal strength to treat herself and General Leng, and it was difficult to resist these people. And General Leng was also wounded by an arrow. Although Mrs. Leng knows some martial arts, she can only deal with some small soldiers. If you want to escape from this scene in front of you, you will inevitably ascend to the sky.

Nangong Tian's heart was arrogant, he raised his other hand, and clicked on Shi Yan's weakness, and Shi Yan's body couldn't move. The guards saw that Lord Shi was kidnapped and wanted to come over to save people, Nangong Tianjiao waited for his eyes, and shouted: "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I will beat you to death first, and let you bear the charge of dereliction of duty." The guards looked at each other one by one, not daring to move forward.

Shi Yan also said loudly: "You all retreat, don't come nonsense, this Nangong Tianjiao can do everything, you have to calm down." ”

The guards nodded and did not dare to come out, so they cautiously stepped back.

At this time, Leng Gongxue and her mother helped their father to walk towards Nangong Tianjiao. Leng Ye looked at the scene in front of him and said to Nangong Tianjiao: "Tianjiao, you better let Shi Yan go, you can't make mistakes again and again, make mistakes, and it will be even more difficult to end up in the future." ”

Shi Yan hurriedly said: "Yes, General Leng is right, you are still young, you can't do things willingly, you must see the situation clearly and leave a way back for yourself." ”

Nangong Tianjiao looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Shi Yan, put away your good deeds, I am already a person who has been condemned to death by the imperial court, and I don't have any hope for life." So, I'm not going to be affected by you. ”

Shi Yan trembled and said: "Nangong Tianjiao, what do you want, you have already committed a crime, you can't make a mistake again and again?" Nangong Tianjiao asked loudly: "What crime do I have? Which article of the national law did I violate? Obviously, it was you traitors and thieves who killed our Nangong family, and they also added the crime to me, wanting to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, which is obviously to cover up the humility of the emperor and you traitorous ministers." ”

Shi Yan didn't dare to provoke Nangong Tianjiao, he said kindly: "Nangong Tianjiao, in fact, the emperor has no intention of killing you, he just pretended to go through the form, and then left you alive." And you have always hated the emperor very much, misunderstood the emperor's original intentions, and did disrespectful things to the emperor. However, now, if you are sensible, I will advise the emperor, and the emperor is also a person who cherishes talented women, and he will definitely open up to you, ensure your glory and wealth, and increase your official position, what do you think?"

Nangong Tianjiao knew that this was Shi Yan making a deal with him, and he could see that Shi Yan really loved his own life, and he must be a celebrity in front of the emperor.

Nangong Tianjiao nodded and said: "Shi Yan, more than ten years ago, I was sentenced to death by the emperor, and I am lucky to live to this day, so every minute is an additional reward for me." I'm not a person who understands anything, I only know that I want to save Leng Gongxue's family, now you have to listen to my command, if you don't listen, I'll kill you, and then fight with these officers and soldiers, I have already put life and death out of the way. ”

When Shi Yan heard this, his face changed in fright, and he hurriedly said: "Nangong Tianjiao, you calm down, everything is easy to discuss, and you can't do things willingly." ”

Nangong Tianjiao pretended to be chaotic and said: "Shut up, Shi Yan, it's not your turn to command me now, I now ask you to immediately let your subordinates put down their bows and arrows, dodge a way, and let the Leng Gong Xue family leave, otherwise I will break your arm, I often do." ”

As he spoke, Nangong Tianjiao pulled hard, and Shi Yan's arm was almost broken. Shi Yan suddenly had a cold sweat all over his body, and he hurriedly shouted: "Nangong Tianjiao, you can't mess around, I'll just do what you say." ”

Shi Yan endured the pain and shouted incoherently to the officers and soldiers around him: "You put down all the bows and arrows, make way out, let Leng Ye's family leave, there can be no difference, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded." ”

The archers and guards all laid down their bows and nukes, and then flashed a path to the sides, standing with their heads bowed.

Nangong Tianjiao turned his head and looked at Leng Gongxue happily and said, "Gong Xue, let's go, take the two old people and leave quickly." ”

Leng Gongxue shook her head and said, "Tianjiao, I can't leave you alone, I want to go, let's go together." Nangong Tianjiao shook his head and said: "Gong Xue, you go first, I have to contain these people, especially Shi Yan, he now has the power of the army, control him, so that everyone can leave safely." ”

Leng Ye sighed and said: "Tianjiao, what can we do even if we escape now? Where can we go? If the emperor wants to kill us, he can kill us at any time, where can our family go? And those people in the mansion, you can't leave them alone, they have been with me for so many years, I have to protect everyone." ”

Qingyue nodded and said: "Yes, if the imperial court wants to hunt us down, even if we flee to the ends of the earth, we will still be caught, and the days of escape will be even more sad, so let's not run away, we should come back, let's face the one in front of us." ”

Leng Gongxue looked at her father and mother, and asked worriedly: "Dad, mother, do you really not want to leave?" I look at the current form, the emperor has concluded that our family is a thief, and we may be killed at any time, we can't sit idly by?"

Leng Ye said earnestly: "Gong Xue, if we leave now, wouldn't it prove that we really have ghosts in our hearts? Since we are above board, why should we run away? We must have the courage to accept a test, even if we die, we must keep our dignity and leave a good name for future generations." ”
