C25 (1/2)

Xie Xuan was a suspicious person by nature, but he was also very suspicious. There were a lot of people who were afraid of death among the servants and attendant in the back garden, in the blink of an eye, they had sold out their masters in order to protect themselves.

”Let's go!”

Wen Jiu grabbed Xie Qi's wrist.

Xie Xuan's days in the Xie's Mansion had always been difficult, and he was probably the only one who knew the most about this mansion's most secluded area.

Soon, they arrived at the most remote place, the Autumn Maple House, where Xie Xuan had lived before. He brought two people inside, directly into the inner room, and let Wen Jiu and Xie Qi sit on the bed. Then, he jumped up and pressed his hands on the bed, and flipped over the entire bed, causing the three of them to fall down together.

It seemed like the secret passage would not lead him to the outside of the city no matter what. The sky was about to brighten when he opened the hole and walked out.

Xie Xuan knocked twice on the stone wall, and a piece of the wall fell down, directly sealing the hole.

Xie Xuan said: ”I can't catch up, sit down and rest for a while.”

Xie Qi's face was as white as paper and his face was covered in cold sweat. However, he did not forget to support Wen Jiu, ”Miss Wen, how are your injuries?”

Wen Jiu's ankle was so swollen that it looked like it was about to explode. Just a moment ago, he was completely relying on his will to escape, but now that he had completely relaxed, his legs seemed to have become lead as he fell on the ground, falling down to the ground. He couldn't help but glance at Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan knew what she wanted to say, and lightly said: ”I was always afraid that I would be silently killed one day, but I didn't expect this secret passage to be used today.”

With Xie Xuan's ability to cause his Great Yan Dynasty to change drastically before the age of twenty, it wasn't strange for him to think about something like this, not to mention that he had a mother who wished for nothing more than for him to die everyday. It would instead be strange if she didn't give him something to protect him.

”Find a boat and cross the river!”

Wen Jiu sat for a moment, then forced himself to get up, after all, this was not a safe place.

If her memories of her previous life were put here, it would no longer be useful, and she absolutely could not repeat Changping County. Tonight, that place would probably already be a dead city, with tens of thousands of corpses piled up like mountains.

Passing through this vast Chang Ning River would mean that there would be tens of thousands of water masters suppressing the city. No matter how fast one's cavalry of Great Jin was, it would be impossible for them to cross the river and attack the city in one night.

After escaping for a long time, Xie Qi quickly dove into the reeds to look for a boat. There were a lot of fishermen fishing in this area, and when they went ashore to go back home, they would dock at the reeds.

Xie Xuan walked to the side of the water and looked into the distance. The heavy rain did not stop for a long time, and once the river became foggy, he could not see what was on the other side.

At this moment, the sounds of horses galloping could be heard. The person at the front shouted, ”Kill all living beings!”

cavalry of Great Jin replied in unison, ”Yes!”

The voices of thousands of people overlapped with each other, spreading out a murderous intent that terrified everyone.

Wen Jiu had just found a broken fishing boat at this time. Xie Qi and Xie Xuan fumbled their way over from the two sides.
