C50 Intercept

Not long after they left for the main hall, Ruyu came upstairs to inform them that they could leave. In order to avoid meeting someone they did not want to meet, Ruyu led them around a quiet path to a small door in the Yifan Pavilion.

"Miss Ruyu has yet to sign the contract. Do you think that the reward I've given you is too low?"

Ruyu smiled and shook her head: "Pavilion Master must be joking. It's not that Ruyu thinks the reward is too low, it's just that she has something she wants to discuss with Pavilion Master. Ruyu has considered this matter alone for a long time."

"I'm all ears."

"Perhaps some of the rules of Yifeng Pavilion could be changed a little bit. Ru Yu thinks that the girls should spend more time studying the zither, chess, calligraphy, or the magic from the west. Their skin will eventually become unlikeable, but a person's inner self can gradually improve over time."

"To make the girls proficient in these things is not only to add to the wealth of the leather bag, to attract more guests, but also to give them a way to make a living without being able to make a living out of it. The previous Pavilion Master's third question, asking the participants' how to deal with those guests who forced the ladies to sleep, regardless of their wishes, was also to choose a new Pavilion Master that could be considered by the ladies of the Pavilion. And the Pavilion Master's answer was the one that the previous Pavilion Master was most satisfied with among all the remaining participants. Hopefully, the Pavilion Master will be able to consider this matter according to the mood he was in when he answered on the stage that day. "

Xiao Heng listened attentively to what she had to say, then nodded his head, "Lady Ruyu is indeed reasonable. This matter shall be handled according to Lady Ruyu's words. If Lady Ruyu has other considerations, this one can add them to the contract. I still have matters to attend to, so I will leave first. As he spoke, he got up and walked out of the private room.

"Ru Yu understands. Pavilion Master, take care." She looked in the direction where the man had left. The man, who seemed to be a guard, had just turned around and followed her.

It was strange, but when she and Xiao wanted to talk about the contract, this man hadn't been at Xiao's side at all … She remembered that the man hadn't left Shaw's side for more than a quarter of an hour on the day of the match.

This was too abnormal … I hope they all make it out.

Ruyu left the room holding the contract book with some concern. When she returned to her room, she immediately asked Little Ang about it. When she found out that she had secretly taken the two out, she felt slightly relieved.

It was already late, and the number of soldiers patrolling the streets had dwindled. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they did their best to choose the more remote alleyways, but in the end, there were still people blocking their path.

In order to explain a misunderstanding, she had once braved the rain to chase after that figure, and had also comforted her in the rain. But now, she had pulled out the sword in her hand to block in front of them.

"Stop, I don't want to hurt you."

Pei Hongqing subconsciously shielded Yun Shu behind him, "I was wondering why they arranged everything so well. So it was because someone was watching our every move for them. "Sang Ye, that brat really has a bad eye. How come he couldn't see your true face?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't tell. After all, he won't know that I did what happened next." Coincidentally, it seemed to be certain that they wouldn't leave today.

Pei Hongqing was astounded. "I am touched. Before you said that, I thought you approached Sang Ye just to make use of him. I wonder how he would feel after hearing those words. I am actually quite looking forward to it." However, the hand hanging in her sleeve extended backward at the same time, and grabbed onto Yun Shu's right hand.

Yun Zhui looked at the back of the man in front of her with a puzzled expression.

The man only turned his head slightly and whispered, "Release the signal detonator."

"Only then did she lower her head and take a look at the item that Pei Hongqing had just handed to her." With a swoosh, a dark purple colored spark exploded in the air.

After sending out the signal grenades, he no longer just stood at the mouth of the alleyway to block their way. Instead, he held his sword and thrust it towards Pei Hongqing, who, while dodging the first attack, told Yun Shu to find a place to hide.

He pulled out the sword in his hand and swung it at the incoming sword. However, the opponent's attacks were getting more and more ruthless, as if he wanted to take the life of the killer. For the time being, Pei Hongqing had no intention of taking her life. After all, she was someone Sang Ye truly liked, and he did not want to kill her. Several times, Xiang's sword almost pierced his chest.

Yun Shu, who was hiding behind a broken stone statue that had been thrown away, trembled in fear. If she hadn't placed the sword in her hand onto the ground to pick up the bow and arrow from the dungeon, she might have been able to help Pei Hongqing now and not hide here in a sorry state. What was even worse was that the bow with only two arrows left was taken off by Pei Hongqing before he could throw her out of the walls of the Jia Residence. Now, she had no other weapons but her flying claws.

'Forget it. 'Pei Hongqing had told her to hide herself from the very beginning. She probably wanted to remind her not to send him off …

But hiding here isn't an option either … However, he had asked her to release the signal detonator just now. It was probably to call for help, right? Maybe she could wait until someone came in with a weapon?

However, the reinforcements didn't arrive as quickly as she had expected, and because of some unexpected circumstances, they had to give up the water route that would lead them to the other side as soon as possible.

When the four of them managed to avoid the patrolling soldiers that suddenly appeared by the river and arrived at the other side, a sneaky figure stepped out from the bushes by the side of the road, "Brother Sang, there are obviously more patrolling soldiers in the city, so I'm afraid we won't be able to follow the route that you guys have previously agreed on.

Sang Ye glanced at the three people behind him with some hesitation. After Pei Hongqing secretly contacted him, these three were the only ones he could find who had yet to leave Tiger Fury. They had been waiting in the dark for the past few days, so that they could rescue Pei Hongqing when he was captured and notify the army in time.

However, last night, Wang Kuo, who was known to be a soldier of the Yan Army's Black Yak Tribe, had found them with a jade pendant that Pei Hongqing had always been wearing, informing them that their plans had changed. Pei Hongqing had planned to force his way out of Tiger's Fury City when he was discovered, instead of asking for help after he was captured, all they had to do was arrive at the place where the signal bombs were fired, missing out on a cell or a well-guarded mansion.

However, the situation before him was much more complicated than he had expected. However, there was not much time for him to consider carefully. He frowned and said, "No, we should hurry to the general's side."

Wang Kuo immediately stretched out his hand to block his way, "The route we planned to take could cost us our lives at any time. It's hard to say if we can't reach the General's side." The path I found is a long one, but we should be able to reach it in time as long as we move faster. Brother Sang, don't hesitate anymore.

In the end, Sang Ye nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Yun Shu was focusing her gaze on the moderately sized stone that she had just picked up. Then she frowned and exhaled as if she'd made a big decision.

Soon after, she threw them at her ankle. Seeing that the latter's movements had become sluggish due to the discomfort, she immediately picked up all the rocks around her and threw them towards her, one by one.

Fortunately, she had never been perfunctory in her daily practice of archery. She could only shoot accurately with a rock at a time. When the last stone fell on the sword that was about to stab Pei Hongqing's neck, the tip of the sword immediately deviated by an inch, creating a small wound on Pei Hongqing's neck.

While she was still in a daze, Pei Hongqing chopped at her neck with a knife. In the blink of an eye, he fell to the ground.

There were a lot of weeds in this alley, so Pei Hongqing had no intention of moving the unconscious body to other places. He sat on a big rock and said, "Wait for someone to clean up the mess for him."

He tore off a piece of his sleeve that had been cut off by the sword and crooked his finger at Yun Shu, who had just gotten up from behind the stone statue. "Sit by my side and help me bandage the wound on my neck. Yun Shu could only obediently go over and receive the cloth strip.

The wound on his neck was not very deep, but the blood that flowed out was not small. She raised her hand and used her sleeve to wipe it before wrapping the piece of cloth around Pei Hongqing's neck. She then tied a knot at the back of his neck. "It's done …" When she looked up, she found that Pei Hongqing was staring at her. She looked away guiltily and withdrew her hand from around the back of his neck.

Seeing the change in her expression, Pei Hongqing turned his head and looked straight ahead. He coughed twice before clearing his throat, "I just threw those stones in quite a timely manner. They were always able to help me reverse the situation. "Indeed, it wasn't for nothing that you were allowed to enter the Uighur Camp through the back door. For you to progress like this, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you're improving at a high speed."

His words succeeded in dispelling the current atmosphere of strangeness. However, the words "by the back door" reminded Yun Shu of something unbearable. She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. "Isn't it because I have the strength that allowed me to enter the Moyu Camp …"

Pei Hongqing was stunned for a moment. "Really …" "I can't remember, haha …"

This was the first time Yun Shu had seen Pei Hongqing smile so shamelessly. He couldn't help but secretly roll his eyes. No matter who it was that went through the back door, they wouldn't be in a good mood, right? She gritted her teeth: "Is there anywhere that the general is injured?"

Seeing that Yun Shu was about to die from anger, Pei Hongqing couldn't help but tease her, "If you don't help me feel if there are any wounds on my waist, I feel that it's a little painful." As he spoke, he pulled Yun Shu's hands onto his waist.

Suddenly, Yun Shu who had her hands grabbed had no choice but to turn around and face Pei Hongqing. "…?!"
