Zu An hadn’t expected to run into Xie Daoyun here “Where did Miss Xie just return from?” he enquired hurriedly
Xie Daoyun sloalked over to hie in the neighboring commandery I’ve just returned froe hadn’t actually ended yet However, she hurried back once she heard that sowo the arts so whole-heartedly He would have teased her a little under different circuht now
“Miss Xie, please step aside Blades have no eyes, and I fear that you ht accidentally be injured,” warned Zu An The Red Cloak Are of battle If they really engaged each other, a delicate girl like Xie Daoyun ht well be ripped apart
Xie Daoyun instead suppressed her voice and said, “Are you stupid? Why aren’t you capturing ered, throwing her straight into his arms Then, she let out an absolutely terrified screa to do? I’ wo and Chu Hongcai were left in a daze, as were the three thousandChun and the defenders of the city gates couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed
Miss Xie, do you think we’re blind?
Zu An was incredibly amused If she had been part of the entertainment industry in his previous world, everyone would have been cursing her for being just another pretty face! She was sure to win the Worst Actress Award
However, he quickly went along with her In a flash, he brought a blade up to her neck and shouted loudly towards the city gates, “I aates if you don’t want anything bad to happen to her!”
At the same time, he leaned closer to Xie Daoyun and whispered into her ear, “Thanks”
Xie Daoyun had never been carried in a man’s arms before She had been in such a hurry to help out earlier, and had given it little thought However, just by being carried like this, and feeling the warth drain from her Her face reddened, and she said quietly, “You owe me two favors now”

Zu An chuckled and said, “I’ll never be able to repay ratitude How about I compensate with my body?”
Xie Daoyun had no reply
Why is thisChun yelled, “Zu An, you and Miss Xie can be considered friends, yet you dare use her as a hostage? Isn’t this going too far?”
Zu An said with a smile, “I will definitely pay City Lord Xie and Miss Xie a visit in the future to apologize Vice Magistrate, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to make a compromise today”
He chose his words carefully, tacitly choosing to not expose the situation
Pang Chun’s expression darkened In the end, he gestured for his ates He knew that he wouldn’t be able to stop Zu An and his ht Now that he had been offered an excuse to back down, there was no point in stubbornly persisting with it He was sure that the Xie clan would back him up if he was somehow made accountable for his actions
The other soldiers had long since pissed their pants in fear They heaved a collective sigh of relief when they heard this, and quickly opened the gates
In hisso cowardly, but he continued to act tough on the surface “Zu An, you will definitely regret what you've done today”
Zu An didn’t seem to mind at all “I’m someone who only cares about the noon’t ask tooopen, Zu An said in a clear voice, “Our objective is to protect the Chu clan Do not harainst any of the city’s soldiers without my order”
“Yes, sir!” his troops responded in unison There was no unnecessary noise or chatter They all had extremely serious expressions, as if they were allChun envied them intensely These are real elites! My subordinates are all useless idiots!
Xie Daoyun’s fragile heart was shaken No wonder her father had always harbored reservations towards the Chu clan! No matter where, this army of theirs was a power that couldn’t be overlooked
“Enter the city!” Zu An coates in foruard, their bows at the ready, prepared to defend the advancing column from an ambush
Zu An felt an intense admiration Just how much time and resources did the Chu clan invest to raise such an army? No wonder the Chu clan was still in the red despite their massive salt business
