All I could see were the chaotic figures of people and the cold light of a steel knife, and I couldn't see the specific situation clearly.

Lin Yanyu listened to the shouting and screaming, and became more and more anxious. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in panic: "Xigui, Ermu, don't worry about me, go help your brother, there are so many of them, what if..."

Ma Xigui originally wanted to bring Chen Ermu there. The longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

If the defender of West City arrives with a large army, it will be difficult for them to escape.

"Sister-in-law, don't move here. Ermu and I will go help brother now."

With the addition of Ma Xigui and Chen Ermu, the guards on He Zhiyuan's side were defeated step by step, and soon most of them were knocked down.

Liu Quan only wanted to kill Li Yanqi, but he was not as skilled as his opponent and was stabbed in the chest and kicked several feet away.

He rolled around for a few times and fainted for a few moments. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Li Yanqi and his three men had almost cleared out all the guards. Only the last seven or eight guards were left, protecting He Zhiyuan as they retreated step by step.

Liu Quan gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his chest, removed the arrow from his back, and pulled the bow in his hand with all his strength, aiming at Li Yanqi's back. His hands were shaking so badly that he could hardly pull the bowstring steady.

At this time, there were only four guards left by He Zhiyuan's side, struggling to hold on.

Suddenly, Liu Quan's arrow changed direction and shot towards Lin Yanyu, who was standing in the corner ten feet away and waiting anxiously.

The night was dim, and Lin Yanyu's heart was burning with anger. She looked anxiously in the direction of Li Yanqi, and she did not see a cold arrow flying towards them from her left side.

By the time she realized it, Lin Yanxia had already fallen to the ground with a "puff" sound after being shot by an arrow.

Before Liu Quan could get angry that his aim was off, Li Yanqi flashed forward and killed him with one blow.

Li Yanqi felt a little scared and looked at his beloved daughter who was holding Lin Yanxia alive and well, and he felt hatred in his heart.

At this time, He Zhiyuan's last guard was also killed by Ma Xigui and Chen Ermu.

He Zhiyuan fell to the ground, no longer as calm as before. He was covered in dust. Looking at the person walking towards him, he backed away a little bit in fear.

He shouted in a trembling voice: "Li Yanqi, this is Qingzhou, you, you can't kill me. If you kill me, His Royal Highness King Cheng will not let you go."

"Do you know what I regret the most?" Li Yanqi walked forward slowly with a bloody dagger in his hand and stepped on the corner of his robe. "What I regret the most is that I didn't kill you last time in Yunlong Town."

"Don't even mention His Royal Highness Cheng Wang." Li Yanqi sneered, "Even if the old emperor came back to life, he can't save you."

"Ah——!" He Zhiyuan howled in pain.

As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger stabbed into his shoulder and neck, not the fatal heart, but an finger's distance from the heart.

Li Yanqi looked at the blood under his palm, which flowed down like a stream, and smiled even more gently at the person lying on the ground.

Then, he slowly rotated the dagger in his wound.

"You took my treasure away for six days. In return, I will make six bloody holes in your body. How about that?"

His tone was calm, but the same could not be said of his men.

"Don't worry, it'll be quick."

He Zhiyuan was sweating coldly in pain. He clenched his teeth, feeling fear and hatred in his heart. This hatred pressed against his chest and made him feel uncomfortable.

He shouted towards the city gate, "Sister Yanyu, we have been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years. Are you going to just stand by and watch Li Yanqi slaughter me today?"

At this time, Lin Yanyu could not hear what he was shouting at all.

Lin Yanyu lowered her head to look at her sister's chest. White medicine powder was thickly spread on it, but in a few moments it was stained red by blood and turned into a paste that flowed down the wound.

She looked at Ma Xigui anxiously, who put away the porcelain bottle in his hand and shook his head at her with a bad look on his face.

This powder is the best hemostatic medicine. He also fed Lin Yanxia a few hemostatic pills, but it didn't stop the bleeding at all...

Ma Xigui breathed a sigh of relief. With the injury in her heart, Lin Yanxia was probably useless.

"Sister-in-law, ask her what she wants to say."

As he spoke, Ma Xigui took Chen Ermu a few steps away.

As the night deepens, the evening breeze blows through Lin Yanyu's disheveled hair.

She looked at her sister with complicated eyes, who was lying in her arms with tears all over her face.

He sighed and said, "Xia Xia, although my parents said they would cut off all ties with you, they still miss you very much. Every time I go back to Yunlong County, my mother hesitates to speak. I know they want me to find out about you."

"You've been complaining that mom is partial to me, and you've been trying to overpower me and prove to mom and dad that you're better than me. But in mom and dad's hearts, there's no one who's more important to us."

"When we sent you to your grandparents' house, your parents even discussed privately to find you an honest and kind person who would treat you well, and to give you all the money they had saved as a dowry. They have already asked someone to pick you up in Qingshan County, but..."

But Lin Yanxia ran to find He Zhiyuan.

The tears in Lin Yanxia's eyes flowed down the corners of her eyes, and her temples on both sides were soaked.

"Ho ho...ho ho ho."

Her fingertips laboriously stroked the back of her sister's hand as she held it.

"Sister, I was wrong."

In order to make it easier for her to write, Lin Yanyu took her hand and placed it in her palm.

The cold and dry fingertips gently stroked the palm of my hand.

"I have harmed so many people for my own selfish reasons, and this is what I deserve."

"I have something to ask of you, sister. If you have a chance, please help me tell Aunt He and Cao Fangruo that it was really not me who poisoned them. It was He Zhiyuan, it was He Zhiyuan."

Lin Yanxia's eyelids were half closed. She knew that her time was up, so she gathered all her strength in her fingertips.

"Please tell my parents that I'm sorry. If there is an afterlife, I still want to..."

The fingertips stroked across the palm of her hand, and Lin Yanxia's hand fell down weakly.

"I, I will help you tell your parents that you still want to be their daughter in your next life."

Lin Yanyu's eyelashes trembled, and a few tears fell on Lin Yanxia's skinny face.

Ma Xigui heard a rustling sound and turned around to see Lin Yanyu taking off his cloak and covering Lin Yanxia with it, even covering her head and face.

He sighed and turned to look at Li Yanqi's movements.

There was a pool of dark red blood under He Zhiyuan, and he was lying there silently. If it weren't for the slightly rising and falling chest, Li Yanqi would have thought that he was so useless that he was dead.

"Tsk, we've only opened three holes, and you can't handle it?"

Li Yanqi rubbed his back teeth and said in a bored tone, "A loser like you wants to steal my wife. I don't want to look at you anymore, so I'll just send you off."

As he said this, he was about to thrust the cold blade in his hand into his chest.

In the blink of an eye, several stones came flying towards him along with strong wind.

Li Yanqi moved nimbly and dodged with a few moves, then he heard a shrill voice in his ear.

"Where did this little thief come from? How dare you act so arrogantly in Qingzhou?"
