The young man laughed and said, "I am a killer from Lianyu. Brother Xun saved me before, so I naturally call his wife sister-in-law. Oh, I was here yesterday too, standing on the roof in the southeast corner. I guess you didn't recognize me."
"I came here today to talk to Brother Xun about something. Is he here?" The young man said to himself as he was about to rush to the back. Just then, the curtain was lifted and Xun Nu came out. The two men bumped into each other face to face.
Seeing Xun Nu, the boy calmed down a bit, stepped back and called him Brother Xun. Xun Nu saw Tang Li's expression, shook his head at her, and walked out with the boy, the two of them walked to the nearby willow tree one after the other.
There was no one around, and the smile on the boy's face immediately disappeared. He said directly: "Brother Xun, I don't know what's going on between you and the boss, but there is something I must tell you." He glanced at the graceful figure in the store, with a bit of suspicion and disdain in his eyes: "Brother Xun, do you know the identity of this woman?"
Xunnu frowned slightly at the contempt in his expression: "What identity?"
The young man curled his lips, "I think you don't even know her real name, yet you dare to leave the Refining Domain for her? It's only been a short time since you were bewitched by her. I don't know what kind of drug you took. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't bother to care, but you saved me. I call you Brother Xun, and I don't want you to be deceived, so I secretly came to tell you that she has an unusual relationship with the Lord of North City. Xiahou Xuanyu has been secretly looking for her two months ago, and he even went to the Refining Domain for this purpose."
Xunnu: "I don't care what she was like before."
The young man was a little distressed when he heard this, but he also knew his character and said bitterly, "Forget it, since you are willing, I won't interfere. However, the boss sent a letter to the North City yesterday, and I am afraid that they will receive the news soon. Xiahou Xuanyu can become one of the four city lords at such a young age. His methods are domineering and fierce, and he is not easy to provoke. If Brother Xun is unwilling to give up her, it is better to take her away from her."
Xun Nu glanced at the open shop, and Tang Li happened to look up and smiled at him.
"I understand." Xunnu retracted his gaze and said to the boy, "Go back and don't come again. I won't see you again."
The young man wanted to say something but stopped himself. He gritted his teeth and finally walked away without looking back.
Xunnu returned to the store, looked at Tang Li for a while, and said to her: "We need to leave here temporarily."
Xun Nu suddenly said he wanted to leave. Tang Li was surprised but guessed that the boy must have said something. The first thing she thought of was revenge. After the Jianghu people retired, they still had to seek revenge. Martial arts novels are true to me. Thinking of this, Tang Li patted Xun Nu's arm comfortingly and nodded, "Okay, then I'll get ready now."
Tang Li quickly packed out some necessities, prepared some dry food and snacks, and finally wrote a sign and hung it outside the store, indicating that the store would be closed for a while. Just as she finished packing, Xun Nu, who had gone to the market to buy a horse, came back with a bay horse.
After closing the shop door and being carried to the horse by Xunnu, Tang Li suddenly felt that if this happened in modern times, it would probably be her husband going on a spontaneous trip. If you think about it from another perspective, it is still somewhat romantic. Tang Li was very stable, but she was not very stable when riding the horse. She had to lean carefully on Xunnu's arms, which was a bit difficult.
The two left Bailu City and headed east. After a while, they got off the official road. The country road was surrounded by weeds. The setting sun made it look even more desolate. Xun Nu held Tang Li in his arms and said nothing along the way. At this moment, he said, "It's my fault for letting you leave with me so suddenly. If you like Bailu City, I'll bring you back when things are over."
Tang Li was looking at the sunset and thinking, it's a pity that she didn't have a camera to take pictures of such a beautiful scenery. Suddenly she heard Xun Nu say this, she was surprised and said, "Why are you saying this suddenly? There's nothing wrong with leaving and looking around. I said that the person I have the deepest connection with in this world is you, so as long as you are by my side, I can go anywhere."
"You, don't be so obsessed with giving me a 'stable life'. Compared to pursuing any kind of life, the present is the most important thing. How do you know that I am unhappy now?" Tang Li leaned in Xun Nu's arms and slowly comforted him.
When she was 22 or 23 years old, she and two friends would often suddenly want to go somewhere, so they would carry a backpack and go together. They would take the train, bus, or boat. One time, they rented a van and went to several places. After they came back, she decided to open a shop with her friends.
"Don't underestimate me. I can adapt to various situations." Tang Li smiled gently, and her tone was soft, which didn't sound credible.
Xunnu pulled the reins of the horse, held her waist with one hand and hummed, not knowing whether she believed it or not.
The horses were tired and slowed down. The two followed the smoke and came to a village to stay overnight. The farmers were warm and treated them with meat and new bedding. The tall and strong peasant woman also brought them a large basin of hot water. After washing up, they saw Xun Nu sitting in front of the window, staring into the night, motionless. Tang Li got up and walked over, leaning on him from behind.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" Her long hair was hanging down, showing her gracefulness under the light, which made people think of the word "land of gentleness".
Xunnu's hand suddenly tightened, and he grabbed Tang Li's hand, staring at her with a strange look, "As long as you don't leave, I can do anything for you."
Tang Li was puzzled. "Of course I won't leave you. What are you worried about, Xun Nu? Can't you tell me?"
"You..." Xunnu hesitated for a while, and then wanted to say something. Suddenly, his expression became serious, he looked out the window, and said without turning his head: "Put on your clothes, we will leave now."
Tang Li didn't say anything more. She put on her coat and took her bag, and tied her hair up as she walked out. The two of them ran straight out of the yard, and without even having time to say goodbye to their host, they rode away quickly on their horses.
The night breeze blew away the heat from her body. Tang Li hugged Xun Nu tightly, buried her face in his arms, and wondered who Xun Nu was hiding from. Was it his former enemy, or his former company that seemed to have some problems with him? Maybe the assassin organization was just like the gang, and it was not so easy to quit
Not long after they left the village, a group of people arrived in front of the village. Each of them wore a sword and had the emblem of the North City Lord's Mansion on their clothes. The large cart in the middle with two rows of shark candle lanterns also had a golden emblem on it.
After the car stopped, a thin man jumped out from the shadows of the trees and knelt in front of the car. "Lord Xiahou, please forgive me. That Xunnu was too perceptive. He found my brother and I and immediately took his men away. But my brother has already chased after them. He will leave marks for us along the way, and we will definitely catch up with them."
A cold snort came from the car, "Lead the way."
The man stood up and said, "Yes!"
This group of people was very powerful and chased in the direction where Tang Li and the other two left.
Xiahou Xuanyu leaned in the car, feeling very bad. Ever since his inner personality awakened and began to correct the plot, he felt that everything was not going well. At first, he couldn't find the trace of the heroines, and then he was entangled by Xicheng Gong Xiling, causing a lot of trouble, which made it impossible for him to focus on looking for people. It was delayed until a few days ago that he got news about the heroines.
Ever since he became the male protagonist, the luck of the world has been behind him. Whatever he does goes smoothly as if with divine help. It has been a long time since he tasted failure. The luck of two worlds belonging to him was lost in succession, which made him feel as if something was controlling him from the back. This feeling of being controlled and manipulated at will made him even more annoyed.
Seeing the system panel prompt that the annoying love line was shifted, Xiahou Xuanyu's anger rose, and his killing intent also rose steadily. Hearing the spy's report that the two had been living together as a couple in Bailu City before, Xiahou Xuanyu decided to kill the second male lead Xunnu first this time. If it weren't for the fact that the death of the female lead would directly lead to the disappearance of his connection with the fate of this world, he really wanted to kill the female lead who betrayed him at the same time.
Since it doesn't belong to him anymore, it's better to destroy it.
His gaze shifted to the plot deviation value which was less than halfway through, Xiahou Xuanyu closed his eyes tightly, and finally suppressed the murderous intent temporarily.
Since she is the heroine, give her another chance. I hope she can make the right choice this time, cooperate with him to bring the plot back, and not make him angry again.
At dawn, Tang Li heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind him, as if many people were chasing him closer and closer. At the same time, Xun Nu also noticed that there were more than a dozen black shadows riding fast horses behind him. In the whistling wind, there were sharp and tiny sounds of breaking through the air. Without turning back, he whispered to Tang Li, "Hold on tight." Then he grabbed the Xun knife with one hand and spun it behind him.
After a series of clanging noises, countless tiny iron needles were knocked down by the blade. However, this was not the end. A man who had been chasing them on horseback laughed strangely, raised a strange weapon, and fired countless tiny needles. Xunnu danced with his sword so hard that the afterimage was almost invisible, blocking every tiny needle. Not only that, as the two horses were getting closer and closer, he suddenly reined in his horse and turned around, passing by the man with the strange laugh.
Tang Li was in Xun Nu's arms, and she only saw a puff of blood spraying, and the man fell off his horse with a scream. Xun Nu did not stop there, and three of the people closest to them fell off their horses at the first sight, and they were completely unable to match Xun Nu's speed of sword drawing. It was the first time that Tang Li saw Xun Nu fight at such a close distance, and her heart beat fast because of nervousness, but the heart in the chest she was leaning on was still beating steadily, without any disorder.
Xunnu killed a few people and was about to gallop again, but her speed was slowed down. A dozen people caught up with them and surrounded them. After a while, a large and gorgeous carriage slowly drove over and stopped in front of the two.
Dawn had arrived, and the sky was turning pale. The light of morning sun shone on the man who walked out of the cart, making him look even more handsome, like a god.
This is Xiahou Xuanyu, the lord of North City. He can become the male protagonist because his appearance is indisputably excellent. As soon as he appears, he can attract everyone's attention.
When Tang Li saw Xiahou Xuanyu appear, she was completely stunned and stared at him in a daze.
The reason why she lost her composure was not because the male protagonist was so handsome, but because she was shocked by the floating translucent panel in front of him.
Tang Li: ... What is that? There seems to be some words on it
