Wen Jiu donned his clothes and forcefully sat up. Seeing Xie Xuan standing three steps away from her against the candlelight, his heart tightened. His face, which was originally devoid of blood, became even paler.

Xie Xuan also felt this subtle change, he stood there and did not move any further, "How is your injury?"

This person had probably never cared about anyone before, and his tone was stiff as if she had said, "No problem," and he could just give you a strike to take your life.

Wen Jiu's lips turned white as she said, "Nothing much, I'll be fine very soon."

Xie Xuan passed over a small white jade bottle, "The medical records say that this Jade Muscle Ointment will leave no scars after it's used."

Wen Jiu looked at him in surprise.

Xie Xuan was not used to people looking at him like that. She pursed her lips and said: "Grandmother gave me a lot of medicine a few days ago."

So you're going to give it to her if you can't use it all?

Wen Jiu said: "Thank you, Third Brother."

Xie Xuan said after a long while, "Thank you for everything that happened that day."

Wen Jiu was a little surprised.

When he was still in a high position, a servant girl in the palace was tainted to death by a noble king's son, and his corpse was thrown away in the wilderness. At that time, Xie Xuan was still a mere official who had not even seen the Emperor before, but he dared to attack the Sound Drum.

However, this person had used four taels of silver to search for evidence in the dark and smashed the door of the hundred year old marquis into smithereens. In the end, the son of the marquis was executed and the entire family was exiled, the woman turned into a prostitute. Xie Xuan then soared up to the top, all the people of the imperial court were wary of his ruthless actions.

But no one told her that Xie Xuan was actually a person who repays kindness with kindness.

Perhaps she had been stunned for too long, but Xie Xuan opened his mouth and said, "If there is anything that Miss Wen needs in the future, Xie Xuan will definitely repay you."

After Wen Jiu heard this, she completely understood that this man wanted to repay her kindness. After thinking for a while, she did not hold back.

"There's no need to repay me, I want to see your jade pendant."

Wen Jiu pointed to the white jade pendant on his waist, "It's this one."

Xie Xuan looked at her in shock. After a while, his expression returned to normal, and he took the jade pendant off and handed it over to her.

The white jade pendant had dark green tassels hung on it, the end of the rope was tied with a peace knot, the jade body was carved with indistinct mountain and river patterns, and on it was carved the word "Thank", it was exactly the same as the one Wen Jiu had picked up at his window.

Wen Jiu held the jade pendant tightly, the strength in his hands lost all of its weight, and it was as though he was about to crush it.

She raised her head and asked Xie Xuan: "How many people have this jade pendant?"

Xie Xuan was slightly taken aback, but then he said, "Every Xie Clan's son will give a jade pendant to wear on his body. When Uncle was alive, he received a piece of East Ocean White Jade, a total of five sculptures.

In other words, the owner of the jade pendant in her hand was one of the young masters of Xie Family. Wen Jiu passed the jade pendant back to Xie Xuan.

However, Xie Xuan did not accept it, "You keep it."

Wen Jiu shouted in confusion: "Third Brother?"

Xie Xuan said with a cold face, "I don't want it."

This man was really awkward, Wen Jiu touched it, looked at it, and then did not take the jade pendant.

Then if she touched his hand, wouldn't this person have chopped off his hand and thrown it away?

How pretentious!

Just as Xie Xuan was about to leave, before he even walked out of the door, a loud noise suddenly occurred in the courtyard.

"Fifth Young Master! Young Madame! Fast! "Hurry up and get rid of that soft and thin body. Hurry up and leave!"

"What happened?"

Xie Xuan pulled attendant up from the ground.

The valet wept bitterly. "The city gates have been breached!" The Great Jin Nation's cavalry of over a hundred thousand men, commanded by Zhang Qi Cheng had fled. For some reason, it was better than having all of the soldiers rush into the mansion! They would kill anyone they saw and rob anything that was of value ? A lot of people died ? So many, many! Third Young Master, quickly run!

The city was broken?

In his previous life, Jiang An city was massacred and over one hundred and seventy thousand people died here. However, this was clearly half a year later, why was it that the nation of Great Jin was able to send their troops south so quickly? Could it be because Zhao Fan's appearance had changed something?

Wen Jiu no longer had any time to think, he did not even care about the wounds on his shoulders, as he put on his jacket and walked out, "Whose soldier is it?"

"I don't know, they are wearing the armor of Great Yan!"

The screams of terror and the sounds of sword and saber killing seemed to be just around the corner. When Wen Jiu turned around, he saw that Xie Qi was standing behind her with a blank look on his face.

Since the high-ranking officers had already run away, the soldiers naturally would not continue to defend the fort with their lives. It was laughable that those people were so afraid of death in front of the enemy's cavalry.

"Let's go!"

Wen Jiu grabbed onto Xie Qi's hand and leaned on the wall to dodge the arrows. Along the way, the servant attendant s ran in panic, there were many who were missing an arm and a leg, Xie Xuan quickly followed them towards the side door.

A few martial artists jumped over from their arrows, "Third Young Master, Second Madam is waiting for you at the back garden, quickly follow me!"
