Ling Yutong felt dizzy for a while, and she knew it was because she had lost too much blood.
But Qi Yan's face was as cold as ice, so she had to add some fire.
"Even if you don't believe me, you can't gamble with the lives of the Qi family. Believe it or not, if you show up as Qi Yan today and the soldiers arrest you and you resist, you will be guilty of rebellion. By then,
I can't save them on my own!"
Qi Yan's eyes turned red instantly, and he said with a cold face: "How are the women of the Qi family?"
Ling Yutong said it on the way to save time, but now it seems that he won't listen to her if she doesn't tell the truth.
"When I left the Qi family, the old lady and my wife were fine. Brother Ce had a stalemate with the imperial army to protect them. The third brother also wanted to join and was escorted directly to the execution ground. The eldest sister was imprisoned..."
Qi Yan's eyes were red, and his body was colder. His fists were clenched tightly, and without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and threw a baggage to her.
"I will believe you once. If what you say is false, I will definitely make your life worse than death."
"Change on and enter the customs."
Ling Yutong's elbow was touched by the baggage and he frowned in pain, but his eyes relaxed slightly and he nodded heavily.
It was extremely difficult for her to change her clothes. She didn't need to change, but her clothes were stained with blood.
Qi Yan came from the other side and had already finished his disguise. He glanced at her and stretched out his hand to cover the animal trap. Ling Yutong shivered and heard him say: "Bear it."
The pain was worse than when it penetrated. Ling Yutong's face turned pale and she was sweating coldly.
She was trembling, watching him lower his head unconsciously, and sprinkled white powder on her elbow.
He is a person who has perfect etiquette even when putting on a bandage.
Qi Yan turned around and walked towards the pass. Ling Yutong slowed down and quickly followed him.
Both of them covered their faces and passed the border without any danger. No matter how hard she followed along the way, she didn't say a word. It wasn't until she was near the execution ground that she slowed down.
The rain did not decrease at all, and she could not see clearly, but it did not prevent her from feeling Qi Yan's sudden chill.
Qi Yan's eyes were burning with the fire she had seen before. The more times like this, the calmer he became and became crazy.
It's less than a quarter to noon.
With a silent gesture, Qi Yan gave the order and moved forward. Ling Yutong grabbed his arm tightly and mouthed: "Put on the scarf."
Qi Yan's eyes were cold: "If I can't see you when I return from rescuing people, you won't want to know what will happen."
Ling Yutong was silent, she would not leave. She would repay the guilt she felt towards the Qi family in her last life twice as much in this life.
Qi Yan left. He was dressed in a crow-colored robe, which almost blended with the rain and the crowds. Ling Yutong looked at it for a moment, took out an object from his sleeve, and lit it in a hidden corner. Next to the object, she had a special pattern hanging on it.
Box.
Ling Yutong felt nostalgic. In the previous life, Qi Yan's arrow missed the target, and her wound was hanging on the outermost ring of her heart. She was not dead. It was her master who saved her and taught her her skills. The patterns contained information, it was her relationship with
Master’s special contact information.
When she was teaching at that time, she could only see her master at night and thought he was quite mysterious. Later, her master told her that he worked as an errand in the palace during the day. Although his status was not high, he was highly valued by the nobles.
This also means that the master may be delayed with the noble person and unable to receive her message in time.
There was a lot of chaos around the execution ground. The people looked at the center with pained eyes and disbelief. Who could believe that the Qi family would rebel? They are the Qi family who have served the court with loyalty for generations!
But the cold evidence was there. Qi Zekai knelt in the center of the execution ground, raising his head and letting the rain hit his eyes, his eyes filled with sadness.
The falling raindrops and the silence of the people made the scene extremely silent.
"It's time for execution. The rebel criminal Qi Zekai will be executed immediately!"
The executioner raised the knife in his hand...
"Let's see who dares!"
A sharp shout echoed in the execution ground, and Qi Zekai lowered his head suddenly. Although the voice had a thicker pitch, he could tell it was Qi Yan!
There were not many soldiers at the execution ground, and they were almost instantly dispersed by another wave of soldiers who suddenly rushed out and suppressed them. The scene was extremely chaotic. The executioner's knife was kicked away by one person, and even the executioner and the big man were thrown away from the impact.
Qi Zekai's rope was halfway untied by Qi Yan, and the soldiers reacted and swarmed forward.
Qi Yan flipped his wrist, and threw out several knives in his sleeves, stabbing the thighs of the soldiers who were nearby. The soldiers screamed and rolled off the stage.
Qi Yan took the opportunity to pull off the last knot of the rope and whispered: "Let's go!"
The soldier who was charging towards them was holding a spear. Qi Yan stopped his steps and took advantage of the force to fly into the air. He drew out the sword from his waist and struck the tip of the spear so that the tip pointed in one direction.
The soldiers on the ground followed the inertia and formed a chaotic mess. Qi Yan landed and the two of them ran away.
The official sitting on the stage shouted like crazy: "Someone is robbing the execution ground! Catch him quickly, the prisoner has escaped! Someone come and report to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qi Yan frowned and took Qi Zekai into hiding.
Ling Yutong kept worrying until she heard the official's shout. Her heart was at its most nervous, and her eyes were focused on the execution place.
She held the powder in her fingers and moved lightly. When she saw the soldiers, she would throw it away, causing people to faint.
Soon, the number of soldiers around her dropped sharply.
Being patted on the back, she felt nervous and turned around to sprinkle the medicine. When she saw who it was, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Third brother."
Qi Yan rescued the third brother.
Qi Zekai smiled at her, and just as he was about to comfort her, Ling Yutong wiped away his tears and said quickly: "Now is not the time to reminisce about old times, Qi Yan, let your people take the third brother away, let's go to the prison quickly."
"Soldiers all over the city are rushing this way, we must take this opportunity to replace the eldest sister!"
"Change?" Qi Zekai frowned.
Qi Yan also lowered his eyebrows and looked at Ling Yutong. Many people fell to the ground on the way back. Did she do it?
Ling Yutong was watched by two people. Although he felt sour and nervous, he still said firmly: "It's a change. We can't rob the prison anymore. The robberies have already caused a lot of noise. If we rob the prison again, then the meaning of pretending today will be gone."
"The mysterious man who robbed the execution ground may have a close relationship with the third brother, but if he robs the prison again and rescues the eldest sister, this person is definitely Qi Yan and cannot escape."
She frowned: "There's no time to hesitate, let's go quickly."
Qi Zekai frowned and wanted to say something, but Qi Yan had already made a decision, and someone came to pull him away in an instant. With only the two of them left, Ling Yutong pursed his lips and said resolutely: "Let's go."
…
The number of guards outside the prison was indeed 30% less than usual, but only 30%.
The rain gradually decreased, and Ling Yutong asked worriedly: "Can we go in?"
Her eyes swept across the armament department opposite the cell. There were a lot of dry straw piled under the shed, and she secretly made a note of it.
Qi Yan watched carefully for a moment, then his eyes flashed. He looked like a ghost, ducked behind the guard, and knocked the person unconscious with one hand.
Ling Yutong saw this and shuddered unconsciously.
The picture that appeared in her mind was that of Qi Yan standing under the city wall in her previous life. The negotiator sent by the palace came tremblingly. He smiled at the upright gentleman and twisted the official's neck with a stretch of his hands.
But now, Qi Yan turned his head to look at her and smiled slightly: "Why, do you regret it?"
Ling Yutong immediately put away all the messy thoughts. She stood up and walked firmly: "I will not regret it."
Qi Yan gave her a cold look, lowered his head and began to take off the guard's coat.
Since they wanted to sneak in, they had to have an identity. Quickly putting on the prison guard's clothes, they made their way unimpeded and found the cell where the eldest sister was being held.
This cell alone was surrounded by guards.
The two of them stopped. Ling Yutong stopped Qi Yan's movement and mouthed: "I have a way."
Qi Yan said nothing.
Ling Yutong shook his sleeves and held a paper bag in his hand.
She walked over like an ordinary guard, and when she saw the eldest sister behind the wooden fence, her heart ached.
The guard raised his eyebrows: "Where are you patrolling? This place is not..."
Ling Yutong raised his hand and scattered the dust, but in an instant, the bodies of the guards in the circle shook and fell down.
Qi Yan's pupils shrank and his eyes changed slightly when he looked at Ling Yutong. Sure enough, it was her who did it.
At this time, Ling Yutong had already lowered his head to find the key and opened the lock.
Qi Yun looked back, feeling a little blurry, which was due to the influence of the medicinal powder. But the familiar figure seemed to be carved into her bones, and her eyes became sour in an instant.
