Even though Jue barely dodged Qing Feng's knife that swept across to strangle his throat, a deep cut was still left on his face.

The pain from the injury made Jue excited. He threw away his bow and arrow, drew the knife from his waist and fought with Qingfeng. The two fought fiercely.

While the two of them were fighting, Xiao Huan bent down, picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, pulled it hard, and aimed at the unconscious Xiao Zhan.

"It is said that the more noble the prey, the richer the reward after killing it. I wonder what benefits Fourth Brother's value and weight can bring to me?" Xiao Huan's eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a perverted excitement.

"Ugh, puff." Seeing this, Jiang Xue ignored her own injuries and moved her feet to block in front of Xiao Huan, but this forced movement pulled the wound, causing her to spit out blood again.

"Sister-in-law, you look so weak that it's really worrying. Since you are injured, don't move around, lest the injury gets worse. If that happens, I'll be heartbroken."

Xiao Huan glanced at the side, his voice suddenly became much colder, and said to Jun Li: "Help Fourth Sister-in-law to rest over there, don't let her get tired."

Seeing Jiang Xue enduring severe pain to protect Xiao Zhan, Jun Li felt jealous. Following Xiao Huan's words, he prepared to pull Jiang Xue to his side.

"Do not touch me."

Jun Li came too close to Jiang Xue, who felt disgusted, and she angrily stopped him.

But her look of disdain was like a knife, stabbing Jun Li so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Anger, jealousy, and the feeling of being hated by Jiang Xue all surged up at once.

Why does she hate him so much? He is the only one who can protect her now! Doesn't she understand? Jun Li roared in his heart.

"Come here."

Jun Li stopped pretending and roughly grabbed her arm, not even considering whether it would hurt her, and pulled her in front of him.

"Jun Li, be gentle, look how much pain Fourth Sister-in-law is in."

Xiao Huan looked at Jun Li unhappily. Even if he wanted to bully the woman he liked, it was not someone else's turn to do it.

Jun Li then realized that Jiang Xue's face had turned even paler due to the pain, so he quickly relaxed his grip, but still held her tightly.

Okay, now that the obstacles are cleared, we can finally start the hunt.

Xiao Huan turned his gaze to Xiao Zhan and pulled the bow in his hand tighter.

The corners of his mouth rose involuntarily. The target of this hunt was only Xiao Zhan from beginning to end.

The north is deserted and uninhabited, so forcing him here to solve the problem is simply the best choice.

The mountains here are high and the roads are dangerous. If you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff. Even if Xiao Yan asks about it, you can just say "The north is dangerous, it was unfortunate that I fell off the cliff" to get away with it.

Besides, he didn't believe that Xiao Yan would make a fuss over Xiao Zhan's death. After all, the person who most wanted Xiao Zhan to disappear, besides himself, Xiao Huan, was probably his father.

So, Xiao Zhan, your death is what everyone expected, don't blame anyone.

"Goodbye, Fourth Brother." A cold and complacent voice slowly uttered these words, and the fingers that were pulling the bow slowly loosened.

Jiang Xue struggled hard to break free from Jun Li's control, but her own injuries and the power gap between men and women made her helpless.

He wanted to use the golden needles to deal with Xiao Huan, but the cloth bag containing the golden needles fell next to Xiao Zhan during the treatment just now.

Seeing that the arrow was about to be shot, she was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

"stop."

At the critical moment, a deafening roar resounded throughout the cave, followed by a flash of cold light, and the bow and arrow in Xiao Huan's hand was cut into two pieces.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Xiao Yun standing not far away holding a sword. When he saw the unconscious Xiao Zhan and the seriously injured Jiang Xue caught by Jun Li, the anger in his chest erupted like a volcano.

His fourth brother and sister-in-law were the people he respected the most. He, Xiao Yun, would never forgive anyone who dared to harm them.

"Come here, arrest them all."

Xiao Yun swung his sword, pointed it at the guards brought by Xiao Huan, and shouted orders.

"Catch them? Haha, Eighth Brother, you don't even have half as many people as I do, how can you catch them?"

Xiao Huan never took Xiao Yun seriously. In his eyes, Xiao Yun was just a little follower following Xiao Zhan.

He has nothing to do all day long and has no capable fighters under his command, so he is not worth taking seriously at all.

"If the Eighth Brother doesn't have enough people, then adding mine should be enough."

A childish voice sounded, and Xiao Jin walked out from the darkness and stood in front of Xiao Huan.

Behind his small figure, there were hundreds of guards, including the guards from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion who had been controlled by Xiao Huan.

"You guys should be dead..."

Xiao Huan's face darkened, and his eyes flashed with sinister and terrifying anger.

He remembered clearly that those people from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion had been subdued, and he had also issued an order that all of them should be killed without mercy after being caught.

Why are these people still here? Is it because of this kid?

"Sixth brother, if I remember correctly, your people have indeed captured the guards of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, and they were indeed following your orders to kill them without mercy. Unfortunately, they were a little slow and did not act before I arrived."

Xiao Jin smiled slightly, looking innocent, but upon closer inspection, he could see sarcasm towards Xiao Huan in his eyes.

"Where are my people?"

Xiao Huan's expression became more and more ugly, and his tone became more and more gloomy. His eyes, full of poisonous intent, stared at Xiao Jin and his men, but there was no trace of him among them.

"Sixth Brother is so smart, he must have guessed where they went."

After saying that, Xiao Jin clapped his hands, and a guard behind him picked up a large cloth bag and threw it to the ground.

The black cloth spread out, and more than twenty heads rolled in front of Xiao Huan.

Murderous intent and anger intertwined into frightening flames that burst out from Xiao Huan's eyes.

This green-eyed brat actually dared to kill his people.

Who gave him such courage?

"Sixth brother, don't be so angry. Wenyuan did this to help you teach those servants a lesson. After all, they knew who I was, yet they dared to kill me. If father knew about it, you, Sixth brother, would definitely be implicated. So I took the initiative to help you solve these problems in advance to prevent you, Sixth brother, from being punished, right?" Xiao Jin said.

She really didn't make a mistake in choosing this child.

Jiang Xue looked at Xiao Jin and felt very relieved.

Before leaving, she sent someone to deliver a letter to Xiao Jin in the east, asking him to come to the north as soon as possible.

As for Xiao Yun, she also sent someone to notify him, but she didn't hold out much hope.

After all, it takes a long time to get from the southeast to the north, and she was not sure whether Xiao Yun could arrive in time.

Xiao Jin is a child who, despite his young age, has first-class intelligence, decision-making and judgment abilities.

And his actions are least likely to arouse suspicion.

Even if someone found out that he came from the east to the north, at most they would think that he was young and couldn't tell the directions, and it would be easy to fool them.
