Chapter 435: Come back to the capital with me

No one ate much for dinner.

It was gloomy and windy outside, mixed with the smell of dust and smoke.

Ruan Ningxiang stood at the window and looked at half of the sky that was still shining red outside. Unknowingly, cold tears ran down her face again.

Yan Ziyu came over and stood side by side with her, feeling her sadness and despair, as if she had seen herself when she was three years old.

At that time, he and his mother and concubine were kneeling in the snowy night, watching his father mercilessly kill their relatives.

He and his mother-in-law begged one after another, but nothing happened.

That's how he felt at that time, sad and desperate.

Now that someone was with her to feel this helpless feeling, she had a different feeling.

It's like...

It's like...

Yan Ziyu smacked it for a long time.

He felt that standing in front of her, he was no longer the most pitiable one.

Suddenly I really wanted to keep her by my side and struggle together in the endless hell.

No longer feel the loneliness and coldness alone.

Yan Ziyu thought about it, stretched out his hand and gently held Ruan Ningxiang's cold fingers, held on tightly, "Follow me back to the capital."

Ruan Ningxiang buried her head in his chest, and her whimpering voice escaped from her throat, "Give me two more days."

"Okay." Yan Ziyu responded calmly.

The mountain fire burned for two days before it was completely extinguished. The mountain was covered in ashes and not a single soul existed.

Ruan Ningxiang secretly inquired, but there was no news about Tu San, and there was no news about Zhao Jingran either.

Then he saw the Qi guards beside Tu San.

He was holding a sword alone and stood on the street, looking at the people from Black Tiger Village and Vulture Village who were fighting in a group.

He still looks like a wooden person, with no mood swings at all.

In the end, the people from the Bald Eagle Village had not attacked the people from the Black Tiger Village, and many of their men were killed or wounded. A few of the lightly injured ones helped the seriously injured boss to the hospital.

Guard Qi left indifferently, but was intercepted by A Ke again at the corner.

"I have something to ask."

Qi Huwei frowned and saw the dark-skinned Ruan Er in his eyes, "What's going on?"

"What happened on the day the bridge was blown up?"

Ruan Ningxiang found out that the person holding on to the iron chain to escape was the person in front of her.

"Didn't you blow up the bridge? Why are you asking me?" Guard Qi turned and left.

"You are the only person involved who is still alive." Ruan Ningxiang's tears rolled down her face, "Tell me what's going on, please."

Guard Qi stopped for a moment, "I don't know either, but there must be something wrong with the explosive."

After he finished speaking and left, Ruan Ningxiang caught up with him and pulled his sleeve, "What's the problem? What's the problem?"

"I'm not sure either. I want to find out myself."

Guard Qi pulled back his sleeves, ignored them, and disappeared around the corner.

"How can there be a problem with the explosives?" Akko asked puzzledly, "I took someone with me to prepare the explosives at the shop in Yunxi City. There can be no problem."

Yan Ziyu, who followed them out and had a mustache, asked first: "Where is the shop?"

Akko took her to a store selling fireworks and firecrackers.

Because of the chaos in Yunxi City, most of the shops in the city were closed, so it was no surprise that this store did not open.

They went round and round to find this man's house.

The man, a man in his thirties, was cutting bamboo joints in the yard.

I saw a group of strangers, still holding machetes in their hands, standing up and looking a little fierce, "Who are you?"

"Boss Chen of the grocery store, I am Brother Xing, who ordered the black powder from you more than two months ago." Akko put on his beard and put on the same disguise as that day.

The man recognized him and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Akko had thought up his words in advance, "I just want to order another batch of gunpowder."

"We no longer sell gunpowder these days."

"Why?"

"Don't you see how chaotic this place is now? It's too late to save one's life. Who is still thinking about doing business?"

The man turned around to enter the house, but Ruan Ningxiang's spring snow knife was directly across his neck.

She didn't have the patience to beat around the bush with him.

She pressed, "What's going on with that explosive?"

The man was too scared to move, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Yundu Mountain was bombed the day before yesterday, and the explosives came to you."

Ruan Ningxiang's face was smeared with a layer of black charcoal, and her palm-sized face was extremely dark and fierce.

"Little brother, I don't know what you are using it for." The man's legs were trembling. "He said it was for mining and asked me to match it with a power that could blow up an entire yard at once, so I followed that

The specifications are for you, who knew you were going to blow up Yundu Mountain?"

Akko panicked. Was he the cause of the mountain fire?

The blood on Akko's face faded away instantly.

He stuttered, "Miss, I, I, I did exaggerate at the time and said that I wanted something powerful. The bigger the better, but I, I didn't expect that it would cause a wildfire because it was too powerful."

Ruan Ningxiang was also confused. The hand holding the knife collapsed for a moment, and then she immediately stabilized the handle of the knife.

"No, no matter how powerful it was, it still injured one of our own people. But Yundu Mountain is so big. When others hear the explosion, they will definitely run over. The fire place is close to Yundu River. How can we let the mountain fire burn?"

.”

"This is your own business, how could I know." The man's legs were shaking.

Yan Ziyu took Ruan Ningxiang's hand and said, "That day is the memorial day of the eldest family. There are still people from the fourth family on the mountain. Could it be that because of the civil strife, everyone missed the best time to put out the mountain fire?"

"Is that possible?" Ruan Ningxiang's mind was in a mess.

She couldn't think of any explanation.

Akko, who had always been calm, seemed to have lost his soul.

When I went back, even my steps were wobbly. It was A Yue who supported me and I managed to walk back.

After returning, Akko knelt down in front of Ruan Ningxiang and said, "Miss, I will go and pay for my life to my brothers and elders in the mountains."

Akko kowtowed, stood up, took his knife, and walked into the yard.

"Stop!" Ruan Ningxiang shouted in a trembling voice, "If you die, will Yundu Mountain be able to return to its former self? The matter has not been investigated clearly, who knows what the inside story is. Besides, I decided to blow up the bridge.

Should I also go and pay for their lives?"

"Miss." Akko felt guilty and blamed himself. Because of his negligence, he had killed so many people and he had no shame in living in this world.

Ah Yue knelt beside him and pulled him, "A'ke, the problem now is how to protect the young lady from here. It's not the time for us to cut off one of our own arms first."

"Then I will protect the young lady and leave tonight." Akko gritted his teeth.

The situation in Yundu Mountain is over.

Qi Huwei did not take over Tu San's power and went to nowhere.

Tu San's group was leaderless, began civil strife, and divided into several factions.

Because of Sansha, he was targeted by other forces.

Driven by the desire for power and greed, the southern border became a battlefield in chaos.

In just a few days, Black Tiger Village occupied Yunxi City and had the potential to become powerful in the southern border.

Ruan Ningxiang and the others had to leave the southern border.

Several people were driving in a carriage late at night, and were about to leave the southern border.
