Villain, be good! I'm here to give birth to a baby [Quick Wear]

A month later.

"Is everything ready?"

"Okay, nine thousand years old."

"Then you stay in the Eunuch's Palace and just do what I told you last time."

"Okay, nine thousand years old."

After Yang Li and Wang Lian had a brief conversation, he got on the sedan chair and would soon leave the palace and head to Yezhou again.

But he felt something was wrong. When he passed by Lin Qingyan's door just now, she didn't seem to be inside. Did she go somewhere else to relax?

Forget it, she just needs to rest and take care of the baby in the eunuch's uterus, nothing else matters.

Thinking this, Yang Li closed his eyes in the sedan chair.

The road to Yezhou is long, and the shortest way to get there by water takes eight days. This time, due to weather reasons, we couldn't take the water route, so we could only take the mountain road. For some sections with complex terrain, Yang Li had to get off the road from time to time and walk for a while before we could get through.

When he was about to arrive in Yezhou, Yang Li heard some unusual movement outside. Before he could go out, a knife stabbed straight at his face. Fortunately, someone killed the person in time, so he escaped.

"Nine Thousand Year Old, it seems someone has sent an assassin to kill you! Run away!"

There were sounds of sword fights outside. The person who had just saved Yang Li's life was killed by another assassin before he could even see his face. The man stabbed at him again.

Yang Li immediately picked up the sword of the assassin who had died in front of him to block it. He knew some martial arts and was not ready to be captured.

After a rough look around, it should be a premeditated assassination. There are quite a few people coming, so it is best to escape first.

Just when he was about to escape, he noticed a guard who looked a little strange. He had a small bulge on his belly and was hiding in a corner where no one was paying attention, shivering.

The people he brought with him were all excellent guards. There shouldn't be people who are afraid of death and have a small belly...

Before he could think about it, an assassin had already noticed this cowardly guard and swung a knife at the man. When Yang Li wanted to kill him with one blow, he subconsciously threw the sword in his hand away, which stabbed straight into the man's chest.

The cowardly guard who was rescued also looked towards Yang Li, his eyes filled with tears.

The two looked at each other.

That was Lin Qingyan, who asked Yang Li to help her disguise herself as a guard. She didn't expect to be assassinated when she was about to reach Yezhou.

"How did you come?"

Yang Li's eyes widened, and he didn't have time to say much before he had to dodge the approaching assassin. He quickly walked over and hugged Lin Qingyan in his arms, and casually pulled out the sword that had just stabbed into someone's body, preventing other assassins from getting close.

【I think……】

"Let's talk later. I'll take you away now. Don't move. Hold me tight."

Time waits for no one, and there are more and more assassins.

Yang Li hugged the person in his arms tightly and fled into the depths of the dense forest, where there were many trees and it was easy to hide.

Lin Qingyan hid obediently in his arms and didn't move. She knew that she had acted rashly and had become a burden to him.

But if she didn't do this, she would be locked up in the eunuch palace as a canary who knew nothing and couldn't save him at all. The letter also said that she had to take action, not just give birth to a child...

"Shh-"

"Don't be in a daze, come closer to me."

After Yang Li whispered softly, he looked seriously at the person who was chasing him not far away, and concealed Lin Qingyan who was approaching him more secretly.

a long time.

After Lin Qingyan didn't hear any footsteps, she still buried her head in Yang Li's arms and didn't dare to come out. She felt that she was going to be scolded.

However, Yang Li's first words after escaping danger were...

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that Lin Qingyan didn't respond, he continued to ask with concern, "Are you scared? Don't be afraid, the person is gone."

With his comfort, Lin Qingyan slowly raised her head, and her nervous heart gradually calmed down.

【I'm fine. 】

【I'm sorry for causing you trouble. 】

"Forget it, don't blame yourself too much. It's my fault for not paying more attention to you." Yang Li brushed off the dust on her clothes and spoke gently, "Don't follow me secretly like this next time. I'm not a good person. Nothing good will happen if you follow me."

Lin Qingyan shook her head and gestured: [You are not wrong, I believe you are a good person. ]

"I'm not a good person. Don't get too close to me. It will get dirty."

Yang Li helped her up and carefully wiped away the dust on the corner of her clothes with his sleeve.

Lin Qingyan asked curiously: [Have you ever encountered an assassination attempt when you came here before? ]

"I can't remember clearly, probably just a few times, not a lot. This has happened to people in high positions before. I've offended a lot of people, so naturally the number of times has been higher."

Yang Li took her hand and walked out. It was getting dark and it was not safe in the forest. It was not advisable to stay there for long.

Lin Qingyan felt that he was particularly easy to talk to at this time. She didn't know if it was because of the current environment, but he didn't say bad words.

It was just that the two of them had just escaped, and Yang Li didn't have much money on him. When Lin Qingyan was about to gesture, he said first: "It's okay, I can still afford to pay for you to live in a room by yourself."

【I brought money with me.】

【This is the money you gave me before. 】

Lin Qingyan took out a bag of money from her bosom. That was the money Yang Li asked Wang Lian to give her before. She hadn't used it much, so she brought it with her thinking that she might need money when she went on a long journey.

Now the money could just come in handy, so Yang Li took her to the inn and booked two rooms, just enough for each of them.

Lin Qingyan didn't understand and asked: "Why don't you sleep in the same room? I don't mind. Besides, we are already a legitimate couple, right?"

"…I sleep in an awkward position."

【Have it? 】

Lin Qingyan recalled that she felt that Yang Li was a very good sleeper.

Yang Li nodded and said, "Yes, it will affect you. Don't sleep with me if you are pregnant."

【Oh well. 】

Lin Qingyan couldn't force it, so she could only give up.

"Rest here for a few days. I'll take you to see the officials in Yezhou after the storm has passed."

Yang Li has been assassinated many times, so he is not in a hurry to find the government to prove himself. There might be assassins lying in ambush on the road... He can take a rest these days.

Lin Qingyan nodded: [Yes.]

She didn't understand this and just listened to Yang Li.

"Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."

Lin Qingyan continued to nod. She was indeed a little hungry.

"Then tell me what you want to eat and I'll buy it for you."

[Whatever, just buy as much as you like, but don’t buy too much, or I can’t finish it.]

"it is good."

So Yang Li left.

Lin Qingyan was planning to go upstairs to rest, but she heard several people begging and couldn't help but look over.

There were a few ragged beggars, some old and some young...begging for money with irregular broken bowls.

"Boss, please be kind, my daughter is almost starving to death, please give me a few copper coins..."

"I will pay you back when I make money. My daughter has a high fever and I really can't wait. During the previous snowstorm, I—"

Before the old woman could finish her sobbing, the shopkeeper waved his hand with the abacus and said, "Don't disturb my business here. Of course I know about the snowstorm. Now Yezhou is full of disaster victims, who are much more pitiful than you. My wife is lying in bed because of the plague that just broke out and needs money for treatment. How can I have the money to sympathize with you?"

"Go away, go away, don't block my business here."

He waved those people away and didn't want to help.

Yezhou suffered many disasters and the people also suffered a lot.

The only hope for these people is the disaster relief funds from the imperial court, and Yang Li...did he really embezzle this money?
