C115 (1/2)

Sun Chun slightly raised the corner of his lips, took two steps forward, and held both of Xia Li's hands, maintaining the same rhythm as she did.

Xia Li was not nervous, but if she wasn't, when she took a step forward, her heart started to beat faster and faster. When she felt the warmth coming from her fingertips, she took a glance at Sun Chun who was leaning against her side, and her heart suddenly filled with courage. That nervous feeling also quietly disappeared, and she held onto the hand of someone close to her, as she walked steadily towards the city gate.

”Halt, who are you?!” When the bailiff at the city gate saw Xia Li and Sun Chun, he stopped them.

”We are husband and wife... ”Buy things.” Sun Chun said hoarsely, it sounded like his voice was deeper, not easy to arouse suspicion.

”Is that so?” The bailiff glanced at Xia Li, and pushed her onto the ground as he mocked her with ill intentions.

”It really is an ugly woman paired with an ugly man. They are a perfect match by nature. Scram!”

”My wife!”

Sun Chun hid the coldness in his eyes and quickly helped Xia Li up.

Xia Li did not make a sound, lowered his head, and hid behind Sun Chun.

”Hurry up, it's so ugly!” The bailiff looked at Xia Li who seemed weak and cowardly on the surface, and impatiently started to chase him away.

”Thank you, sir!” Sun Chun pulled Xia Li and carefully passed through the city gate.

The two of them quickly entered the city and found many soldiers searching from house to house. There were only a few people walking on the streets, so they hid in their homes and didn't dare to go out.

Xia Li walked a few steps, but in the end, he still could not endure the worry in his heart. He hid into an alleyway with no one around, and smashed the walls with all his might.

”I regret that I did not save Mother and Xia Qing last night. Now that I think about Jin Xi'er's viciousness, my heart is filled with incomparable fear. I'm worried that she might do something even more desperate.”

”If we really do that, Aunt and Xia Qing will bear the notoriety as fugitives. Even if she is ultimately proven to be innocent, she will still be imprisoned for no reason.”

Sun Chun said calmly while standing behind Xia Li.

”That would be safer than staying under Jin Xi'er's hands. She is a crazy woman, my mother and Xia Qing would definitely lose their lives.” Xia Li grabbed Xia Li's arm, his emotions stirred.

”Then I'll rescue them tonight.” Sun Chun caressed Xia Li's hair and said gently.

”Really? Can you do it alone? ”Is there any danger? What if I implicate you?” Xia Li really did not want to implicate Sun Chun. Although he was happy that he had to work hard, he was still unwilling to let him take the risk.

”Tonight, you will properly write your complaint, and leave the matter of the transfer of personnel to me. Your mother, Xia Qing, as well as the four brothers Lin Xuaner, I will help you move out.” Sun Chun said as he carried Xia Li in his arms.

”With so many people here, how is it possible for us to do the same? Unless you have help? ” At this moment, Xia Li guessed that he definitely was not fighting alone.

”Yes, my helper is my follower Lei Ke. Not long ago, he had already found me and has been secretly protecting my safety this entire time. Now that you need someone to help you, he will naturally not stand by and watch.” Sun Chun introduced them briefly.

”Alright, then I'll leave it to you.” As Xia Li said that, he knelt down towards Sun Chun, shocking her so much that he immediately picked her up.

”Xia Li, what are you doing! ”Why are you so formal!” Sun Chun was actually regretting revealing a small part of his background ahead of time. If she was not interested in him right now, then what would happen to her in the future?

Since your subordinates have found you, it is time for you to leave. If you help me like this, it will really implicate you, especially if you help the prisoners to escape, it will affect your reputation and future. I can't be that selfish. Xia Li said as he pushed Sun Chun, wanting to walk out of the alley.

”Xia Li! I am your hubby! How can I abandon you? ”Stop talking!” After Sun Chun finished speaking, he reached out to cover Xia Li's mouth and hugged her tightly.

”I know your personality is strong and you don't want to owe anyone favors, but this time, you have to accept it! You are my woman, how can I stand by idly and do nothing about your matters! ”

Sun Chun's eyes burned with passion and his willpower was strong, to the point that he could not bear to refuse anymore.

”Then where are you going to send them all?” Xia Li asked tentatively.

”You'll know when the time comes. Alright, go back quickly. Otherwise, if those yamen runners discover us, it won't be good.” As Sun Chun spoke, he held Xia Li's hand and the two of them went back to the inn they had hidden in previously.

When Xia Li still wanted to remind Sun Chun of something, she suddenly felt her neck going numb, and her entire person lost consciousness, and she fell onto the bed.

Sun Chun pointed to Xia Li's sleeping place and gave her a small cup of tea. He carried her to her bed and covered her with a thin blanket, then closed the door and left the tavern.

When Xia Li woke up again, the sky had already darkened and the room was completely dark, which made her panic. She lit up the candles in the room and searched around, but could not find Sun Chun.

When she opened the envelope, there was only a short line of words on it.

”I will move everyone to a safe place. Do not think about it, Sun Chun.”
