”Everyone go back! No one is allowed to enter the city today. If they want to offend us, hide in the city, we will capture them alive today! ” Following the loud shouts from the soldiers at the city gate, a few of the soldiers immediately started to move the drawing of Xia Li and Sun Chun within the crowd.

”Do any of you know the whereabouts of these two? Those who can provide information will be rewarded with 50 silver taels!”

”Fifty silver!”

”Can I earn fifty silver taels in my lifetime?”

The crowd immediately erupted, the people who were still resentful a moment ago were all attracted by the news and rewards in front of them, and they all looked around, looking for people who could be Xia Li or Sun Chun.

In the palm of Xia Li who was standing in front of the city gate, a lot of sweat unconsciously flowed down. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, silently sizing up her surroundings.

”Follow me.” As if sensing Xia Li's nervousness, Sun Chun pulled her by the waist and brought her back. They walked for a distance before turning into a clothing shop and bought two sets of clothes, then went to the teahouse opposite, and sat down by a window, watching the movements at the city's entrance.

”He had clearly saved Mother and Xia Qing last night, why didn't these people mention it at all?” Xia Li could not help but ask. She had thought of countless of explanations in her heart, but she still wanted to hear Sun Chun's thoughts.

”Isn't saying it to alert the enemy? The soldiers guarding the city gate would naturally not say that he accepted the bribes and secretly let people out of the city. They willingly thought that your mother and Xia Qing were still hiding in the city. ”

”So, the reason why they sealed off the city gates and secretly searched around the city was so that they could catch us secretly?” After Sun Chun finished speaking, he held a plain white wine jug and poured himself a full cup as he leisurely drank.

”We can't seem to get out today.” Xia Li looked in the direction of the city gate with disappointment. His heart was filled with anxiety, wanting to see Lee's immediately, but he could only hold it in, and drag it out.

”We secretly took away Lin Xuaner and the four Lin Family Brothers, and also saved Aunt and Xia Qing. They are definitely going to die from anger, so naturally they would do their best to catch.”

”Then we can only endure and wait for a while.” Sun Chun soothed Xia Li's anxious emotions, wanting her to slowly calm down.

”I …” When Xia Li still wanted to say something, he saw Hu Yong bringing a group of people to their direction from a distance. Xia Li quietly kicked them away, pretending that he did not see anything and lowered his head to drink his tea.

Sun Chun naturally noticed Xia Li's abnormality, and continued to pour himself drinks. From time to time, he would look out the window at the scenery, secretly paying attention to Hu Yong's movements from the corner of his eyes.

”Is there anyone suspicious coming to the teahouse today?” Hu Yong would normally patrol around the tea house, and asked the manager beside him.

”Replying to Lord Hu's words, there are quite a few guests today. This subordinate really did not notice.” The supervisor wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully replied.

Hu Yong's expression was unclear, his gaze swept across all four corners of the second floor as he unwittingly walked around, telling the manager some of the things that needed to be improved in the shop.

When he walked past Sun Chun and Xia Li, Sun Chun quietly grabbed her hand under the table and helped her eat.

Xia Li's heartbeat grew faster and faster. The hand that held the teacup was almost unsteady, and his gaze firmly locked onto the teacup.

Hu Yong returned to the second floor for a long time. When he prepared to go downstairs, Xia Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”Catch that ugly couple sitting at the window!” Hu Yong turned and shouted.

The soldiers lying in ambush outside the teahouse held onto scimitars, and rushed into the teahouse, rushing towards the second floor, preparing to surround Xia Li and Sun Chun.

”Let's go!” Sun Chun did not hesitate as he stood up and walked over to Xia Li's side. He hugged her and jumped out of the second floor through the window.

The moment the two of them landed, Sun Chun whistled, and from not too far away, the sound of a horse whizzing could be heard. A strong and sturdy horse galloped towards the two of them, and stopped in front of Sun Chun.

”Go up, don't be afraid, I'll be by your side.” Sun Chun said as he helped Xia Li sit on the horse.

”I'm afraid, I really don't know how to …” ”Ride!” Xia Li sat on the horse and laid down, nervously hugging the horse's neck.

”I'm here.” Sun Chun then got on his horse and sat behind Xia Li, protecting her body. He grabbed onto the reins of the horse, shouted out loud and rushed out of the city gate.

”Capture Xia Li and Sun Chun, 50 silver!” Hu Yong stood at the entrance of the teahouse and shouted to everyone.

This sentence was like the order for a competition. Whether it was the soldiers lying in ambush outside the teahouse, the bystanders watching from the street, or the commoners waiting outside the city, all of them were shocked by the fifty taels of silver. It automatically formed a human wall, blocking Xia Li and the other two.

”What should we do?” Looking at the human wall in front of him, Xia Li was extremely nervous, he was so anxious that he started sweating. With a flash of inspiration, he took out a money pouch and spilled all the coins on the floor.

”Money!” It's raining money from the sky! ”

Someone shouted out loudly, and a group of people ran over, scrambling to the ground to pick up the money, directly pushing all of the soldiers who were chasing after Xia Li to the back.

The soldiers at the entrance of the city gate obviously did not care about this amount of money. A group of people formed a human wall and surrounded Xia Li and Sun Chun.

”Hold onto the horse's neck and steady yourself!” Sun Chun said, holding onto a few flying daggers, he threw them towards the soldiers, followed by the sound of someone getting injured.

”My face was cut!”

”My arm!”
