Luo Tao slowly opened the curtain and looked into the couch. Yan Xiaoyu's jade-like cheeks appeared in his mind.
Inside the curtain, Yan Xiaoyu was lying on her back on the couch, her neck and head floating stiffly on the pillow, and her eyes stared in horror at the slowly raised curtain.
Her acupoints were tapped by Zhang Tianbao, and only one pair of eyes could still move, so all the fear in her heart was concentrated in those slightly red and swollen eyes.
She was very scared, afraid that she would be insulted, afraid that she would die here, afraid that she would not be able to see Mu Yunfeng for the last time...
In the short moment when the curtain was lifted, she felt that her heart had jumped eighteen thousand times, and eighteen thousand seconds had passed.
"Yan Xiaoyu."
Yan Xiaoyu was stunned. Luo Tao's voice was in her ears, and Luo Tao's face was in front of her eyes.
"Are you OK?"
Yan Xiaoyu watched Luo Tao speak, her eyes changed from frightened to confused. She looked at Luo Tao in front of her and couldn't figure out whether he was saving her or enjoying herself.
She did not dare to speak and could not speak. She could only look helplessly at Luo Tao, who was called her husband.
"It's okay, Xiaoyu, I killed those people. You are safe now. I will take you away."
Luo Tao said this, gently lifted Yan Xiaoyu's brocade quilt, and opened Yan Xiaoyu's acupuncture points with a few fingers.
As soon as Yan Xiaoyu's acupuncture points were released, she took a big breath, and the muscles all over her body immediately shook like a mountain avalanche. Her limbs had been stiff for so long that she no longer knew whether her trembling was because of fear or because of her body.
natural reaction.
Luo Tao looked at Yan Xiaoyu's trembling body, with a trace of distress in his eyes. He wanted to stretch out his hand, but stopped in mid-air. He sighed, and slowly covered Yan Xiao with the opened brocade quilt.
Yu held her arm through the quilt and gave her a burst of energy.
"It's okay, Xiaoyu, you are safe now."
Listening to what Luo Tao said, Yan Xiaoyu felt a warmth surge from her arms to the sea of qi, and from the sea of qi to the meridians throughout her body, calming down her trembling muscles little by little.
"How did you find this?" Yan Xiaoyu asked.
"It's Tai'a. Tai'a's hidden stakes dug up information about you, and I found you." Luo Tao replied lightly, his eyes shining with half-part joy and three-thirds bewilderment.
Yan Xiaoyu looked at Luo Tao with equally complex expressions. There were gratitude, disappointment, resentment, confusion, surprise and sadness on her face.
She wished that the person who came to save her was not Luo Tao but Mu Yunfeng, so that she could hug her and cry out her grievances on his shoulder.
But now, she could only squeeze out a smile and said awkwardly to Luo Tao: "Thank you, I'm fine now."
Luo Tao also nodded. Can you get up? I will help you up?
Yan Xiaoyu shook her head and raised herself up with her elbows. Fortunately, thanks to Luo Tao's vitality just now, her muscles were stiff but she was able to stand up. She stood up, moved around, and took small steps forward.
It's slow but steady.
Luo Tao stood beside her, watching quietly, with his arms on both sides of her. He was expecting her to stumble suddenly, but he was also worried that the stagger would shock her fragile heart.
Yan Xiaoyu looked at the two corpses on the ground and did not feel scared. She carefully lifted up her skirt and stepped over the pool of blood and corpses, lifting her wings like a proud peacock.
"Do you have men's clothes there? I want to change into men's clothes." She suddenly turned around and asked Luo Tao.
Luo Tao was taken aback and stuttered a little: "Yes... ah, no, we can buy it, ah, no, I will take you to buy it."
"Oh, you lend me three hundred taels of silver, and I will pay you back later."
Luo Tao immediately put his hand into his arms, pulled out three 100-tael silver notes, walked quickly to Yan Xiaoyu, handed it to her, and said: "Here you go, you don't need to change it."
"Thank you, I will pay you back later." After Yan Xiaoyu said this, she turned around and left.
Luo Tao froze on the spot for a while, looked at her back, hurried a few more steps, and chased after her: "Wait, where are you going? I'll go with you. It's dark and the road is dangerous."
As he said this, he followed Yan Xiaoyu, but he followed her closely, not daring to go in front or to stand side by side with her.
Tai'a looked at the young village master who left with Yan Xiaoyu, and a trace of pity flashed in his gray eyes. He thought he had no compassion anymore. After all, he was a cold-blooded killer and a leader in the world of martial arts.
The famous "Ruthless Tai'a", but now when he looked at his young master, there was actually a trace of pity in his eyes.
——Is this love?
——Should I love Xiang'er so much?
He shook his head, feeling that the young owner's behavior was not good, and he did not want to be so humble. With this thought in mind, he slowly stepped forward and merged into the darkness.
Next to Yan Xiaoyu, Luo Tao still followed closely.
When she is faster, he is also faster; when she is slower, he is also slower.
"Luo Tao, can you stop following me?" Yan Xiaoyu asked.
Luo Tao looked a little embarrassed and hesitated: "Where are you going, I will take you there. There are many bad people on the road, and you are in danger alone, but I can protect you."
"Do you know what I'm going to do? Just follow me?" Yan Xiaoyu's tone became more angry.
"I don't know. I don't have to know. I don't care. I just want to protect you. As long as it's where you want to go, I can send you anywhere."
Luo Tao's cheeks were a little red, as red as the lanterns on Jingde Tower.
Yan Xiaoyu had a lump in her throat: "You...just do whatever you like!"
She said this and walked quickly downstairs of Jingde Tower, but just as she was about to go downstairs, hundreds of Fan Yang guards poured into the gate and surrounded the entire backyard.
The colorful lights reflected on the shining sword, emitting bursts of strange light.
"He is the one who killed the old prince, brothers!" shouted a Fan Yangwei.
This Duke Fan Yang is the only Duke with a different surname in the Jiangzuo Dynasty. The only Duke with a different surname was killed in his own fiefdom. If these Fan Yang guards don't catch the killer, then the court will blame them, and their heads will still be in their own hands.
on the neck?
Luo Tao watched the guards pour in one after another, grabbed Yan Xiaoyu and covered him behind him, and rushed towards the group of guards with purple energy all over his body.
With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of purple energy rushed toward the oncoming guards like a huge wave, knocking the first dozen guards to the ground in an instant.
"Grab that woman and threaten him with her!" Fan Yangwei, the leader, shouted.
It has to be said that Fan Yangwei has some foresight in becoming the leader. He knows that Yan Xiaoyu is Luo Tao's weakness. As long as he grasps his weakness, he will not be afraid of him not submitting.
However, he ignored one issue, ignoring that Yan Xiaoyu was both Luo Tao's weakness and his pet peeve.
"You are seeking death!" Luo Tao shouted angrily, gathering purple energy like wind, and swept the entire Jingde Tower in an instant!
