You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 258 It's not you who is sick, so you can just take it lightly

Lin Wan didn't understand why, and thought that Mrs. Lin was sad about her eldest brother's affairs, so she comforted her:

"Don't be sad, mother. He is not the son of the Lin family. We can just treat him as an animal. Maybe the eldest brother is still alive."

When Lin Wan said that her eldest brother was still alive, Mrs. Lin subconsciously looked at the unconscious Ning Yi and nodded.

The movements of his hands became more cautious.

Lin Wan didn't know if it was his illusion, but Mrs. Lin seemed to be suddenly particularly attentive to Ning Yi. After applying medicine to him, she covered him with her fox fur coat, and tucked in the corners of his clothes wherever she felt the wind was blowing.

They didn't know how long it would take them to get out, so they tried to save as much as possible on food.

Lin Wan shared a piece of cake with her, and one of them stayed behind to guard the post and light the fire.

Mrs. Lin asked Lin Wan to go to bed first.

Lin Wan had agreed with her that he would wake her up in the middle of the night to take over the night watch. It was the first time for Lin Wan to experience so many things, so she didn't sleep well. In a daze, she saw A Niang staring at Ning.

Compared to the tranquility and stability here, the dead city is full of blood and gore.

The moon hanging in the sky looked like it was stained with blood, strange and deep red, and even its surface was covered with a faint blood mist.

The moon here seemed to have become exceptionally large, so large that it seemed to encompass the entire city. All the bloodiness was illuminated by its light, becoming exceptionally cold.

Blood kept dripping down from the tip of the sword. There were corpses everywhere and there was almost no place to stand.

The 30,000 people that Lin Yanzhi brought were all the people from the Shadow Moon Tower under Qigong, collectively known as Shadow Guards. Ever since they decided to get rid of Lin Kaiji, they quietly gathered the Shadow Guards from all over the place and waited for today.

The Shadow Guards have been trained since childhood and their skills are quite good.

Although the people left behind by Xiao Yun and Lin Kaiji were all elite, the enemy had a large number of people. By now, they were exhausted and had reached their limit.

Those who followed Xiao Ying to the border were all close followers of Xiao Ying since childhood. They were also the death squads personally appointed by Xiao Zhang after Xiao Ying was rescued from Qingcheng Mountain. Their mission was to protect Xiao Ying's safety at all times.

Today, they demonstrated absolute loyalty, courage and strength.

They have no intention of retreating and are not afraid of life or death. Even if they die, they will bite off a piece of flesh from the enemy.

A death warrior was attacked from the front and back by three shadow guards, with three swords piercing his body. At the last moment, he grasped the man's sword, thrust his body forward, and with the last bit of his strength, chopped the man's neck with the sword in his hand.

People fell down in front of them one after another, their bodies all covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whose blood it was.

Of the three hundred guards brought by Xiao Yun, only about twenty are left.

On Lin Kaiji's side, there were only about a hundred people left.

"Keep going in."

Lin Kaiji shouted.

Seeing the actions of those people, someone in the shadow guard discovered their intentions and shouted loudly:

"Prince, they want to escape!"

Lin Yanzhi had just been beaten by Xiao Yan and had to hide behind the shadow guards. He was holding his breath. Upon hearing this, he ordered:

"Kill them for me. Anyone who captures Xiao Yan and Lin Zhaoyue alive will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

Ten thousand taels of gold is a sum of money that their ancestors could never earn!

Where there is a lot of money, there will always be brave men.

Hearing Lin Yanzhi's words, the shadow guards became more motivated and attacked Lin Kaiji, Xiao Yan and others even more fiercely.

Lin Kaiji led the remaining people to fight and retreat, gradually moving deeper into the dead city.

Xiao Yan stood with a sword in hand, blood dripping from the tip of his sword onto the ground, one drop, two drops...

His handsome face was stained with blood and his silver hair was dotted with red. Under the moonlight, he looked like a deadly evil ghost.

The dark pupils scanned the devastated battlefield, their gaze fixed on Lin Zhaoyue.

When the shadow guards received the order, most of them rushed towards her.

Her right hand was injured, so she used her left hand to wield the knife. It was obvious that she had practiced with her left hand many times in the past two years, but she was used to using her right hand. Now her left hand holding the knife had begun to tremble.

Lin Zhaoyue didn’t know how many people she had killed, but the long knife she was holding now was a little blunt.

She looked at the shadow guards rushing towards her, threw away the knife in her hand, and picked up another one.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Xiao Yan standing in front of her. He looked at her and said:

"You and Lin Kaiji go in first, I'll cover you."

Lin Zhaoyue looked at him for a while, then turned around and walked towards Lin Kaiji without hesitation, without even saying take care.

Xiao Yan looked at her back and felt as if his heart was suddenly stabbed by something.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the past. He always ignored her because of other things or other people, and abandoned her many times because Liu Yiyi was ill.

The incident that left the deepest impression on him was three years ago. That year, the emperor had just granted them their marriage, and it was the Qiqiao Festival. She threw a tantrum and asked him to accompany her to play. He went for the sake of Duke Lin's face.

Not long after they started shopping, Liu Yiyi's maid came to tell him that her heart disease had recurred. He was anxious at the time, so he gave her a banknote and let her go shopping by herself.

As happy as she was when she went out with him, she was as disappointed then.

That was the first time she expressed her dissatisfaction with him. With her lips pouted and her eyes red, she grabbed his collar and said:

"She has a heart attack, so just let Elder Li see her. You're not a doctor, and you can't cure her. Can't you just stay with me tonight?"

What did he say at that time? He said:

"You are not the one who is sick, so you can just make light of it."

After saying this, he turned and left without saying a word.

When she looked at his back, did she feel the same dull pain in her heart as he did now?

In fact, he knew at that time that she would be very happy if he just said he would send her back, but he didn't.

Maybe he didn't care, or maybe he felt guilty towards Liu Yiyi for agreeing to marry her... or maybe it was his subconscious insecurity, he always felt that she loved him only for his appearance.

They had only met once, and she didn't know him as a person, but she loved him so passionately. Apart from his appearance, he really couldn't think of why she liked him. If one day she discovered his cruelty and meanness, would she no longer like him?

I don't know when he started to become so bad in front of her.

He deliberately showed some bad habits in front of her, deliberately got close to Liu Yiyi in front of her, and watched her hesitant mouth and red eyes, and watched her silently jealous and sulking, and he would feel inexplicably happy in his heart...

If it was back then...

"Master, please leave!"

The voice of the assassin was heard, bringing Xiao Yan back to his senses.

He retracted his gaze, tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand, and said:

"You go first, I will cover your retreat!"

"Master, you..."

Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly and said sternly:

"This is an order!"

The assassins were silent for a while, then responded in unison:

"Yes."

Xiao Yun stepped forward with the sword in hand. His body was as nimble as a dragon and his sword was as swift as a silver snake. Wherever he passed, the enemies were defeated and the ground was in a mess.

Lin Yanzhi was in the protection circle of the shadow guards, staring at Xiao Yan who was fighting like a hawk.

Although the light was as dim as ink, there seemed to be a golden glow on his body, like a dazzling sun that made people dare not look at him directly.

He moved his gaze back and looked at Lin Kaiji who was directing everyone to go deeper into the dead city. He narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the crossbow in his hand to aim at him.

Ye Yi, you must die today, otherwise there will be endless troubles!
