Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 58 Life on the line

Qiannan is peaceful late at night.

There were wave after wave of assassinations, and each wave of Deadpool had only one goal, to obtain the city defense map and assassinate Song Xiaoyuan.

Carrier pigeons fly in.

"Awu, take Liu Ben and Feng Ke to the capital tomorrow. The prince has arranged shadow guards along the way. Protect them well!"

"Master, you...I won't leave! I will stay to protect you!"

Song Xiaoyuan did not reply, so Awu could only follow the arrangement to escort Liu Ben and Feng Ke to the capital the next day. Before leaving, he promised the master that he would escort them to the capital safely without any mistakes. Awu did not dare to take a nap along the way, and averted several ambushes. He escorted them to the capital day and night.

It rains heavily tonight. Awu meets the prince, and the Ministry of Justice takes them into custody.

"Your Highness, this is what the young master asked me to bring to you!"

The prince took it and looked at it. "The city defense map, where is Xiao Yuan at this moment!!"

"Yes! You are waiting alone in Qiannan for the Prince of Li and his son to show up. I will rush back to Qiannan soon because I am worried about you being alone."

"King Li and his son have disappeared. The two of them are waiting to get this map and ask for support from the Mongolian troops. How can Xiao Yuan stay in Qiannan alone as bait! If not, I will go with you."

Ah Wu advised, "Prince, you can't do that. The reason why you even arranged for me to leave is to let the Prince of Li and his son relax their vigilance. Qiannan is not peaceful at the moment! You can't take risks, Prince."

"This... Xiao Yuan is alone... I am worried!"

"Your Highness, the capital still needs your cooperation with the young master."

"Okay! Ah Wu, protect Xiao Yuan well, and I will reward you handsomely when you come back!"

"Goodbye, Your Highness."

Awu, wearing a straw raincoat, rode his horse and whipped it, and the water splashed everywhere due to the horse's hooves.

"Stop the car! Uncle Wu."

The eldest sister-in-law was feeling unwell during her period, and the court physician said that Doctor Liu had a pill at home that could relieve her breathing difficulties. Shen Yining went out in a carriage to get it, and on the way back she saw Ah Wu riding a horse out of the city.

【He is back! 】

"What's wrong Miss?"

"Nothing, let's go!"

Passing by Song's house, Shen Yining lifted the curtain, only to see that the door of Song's house was closed, and she didn't know whether he was at home at the moment.

After returning home, he hurried to his eldest brother's garden. Changjun hugged Wang, who was out of breath at the moment, and stroked her back, "Jiashan, you've suffered so much! We won't have any more children with this one!"

"Brother, here! Doctor Liu said he would come to see you early tomorrow morning." Shen Yining handed it to Changjun breathlessly.

It was late at night and Shen Yining went back to his room and lay on the bed, but his heart had already flown somewhere else.

The next morning, Doctor Liu came to check her pulse. He smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, it's just that the summer weather is hot and pregnant women are short of breath and have chest tightness. Keep your mood happy, keep the room cool and ventilated, and take a slow walk."

Doctor Liu wrote a prescription and Shen Yining arranged for someone to boil the medicine and went out. When he came in with the medicine, he heard the conversation between the two people and the medicine bowl fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

"What's wrong? Yining fell down!" Changjun went out to check.

"It's okay, I'll go get another bowl." Shen Yining walked away quickly.

Arranging for the servant to deliver new medicine, Shen Yining took Xingyue out. When they arrived at the street, they saw a notice posted at the gate of the government office. Shen Yining saw it with his own eyes and took two steps back.

Xingyue supported her and said, "What's wrong, Miss? What did you write?"

"Nothing, nothing, there must be a reason."

"What Miss?"

"Let's go back!"

On the way back, he saw Pei's house being ransacked. Pei Ying was taken away on the road and the two looked at each other. Their eyes were empty, without the previous elegance, and they became distraught.

Pei Ying saw Shen Yining roaring at her: "Why! Why are you still alive? Ah... Was it him... Was it him who saved you?" The escorting soldiers grabbed Pei Ying who was struggling frantically at this moment.

"Fox Meizi, is he targeting my Pei family just because of you? Hmm? Speak up!!"

Shen Yining looked at her crazy look and let Xingyue help her go. Xingyue asked why she didn't explain. Since she promised him not to mention it again, she couldn't hurt him.

Shen Yining went home and tried to make himself busier. Don't think! Don't worry, he will be fine. He was busy for many days, and only rested when he couldn't stand it anymore. In the dream, Song Xiaoyuan knelt on the execution ground, and Kuai Zi raised his cold knife and was about to fall... "

"don't want!!"

Heavy rain in southern Guizhou, Huanyun Pavilion————

Blood flowed down his clothes amid the flashes of swords and sabers, the red moon was exuding a chill, and Song Xiaoyuan's hand holding the sword was trembling from the battle.

"Don't struggle! We must capture you alive!"

"It's not difficult to capture me alive! Ask Yan Li to come in person." Song Xiaoyuan stood among the piles of Deadpool's corpses, his expression unclear in the rain.

"Go! No matter what! Capture Song Xiaoyuan alive!"

Group after group of people swarmed over, and the rhododendrons looked terrifying at this moment.

"Father, he is really good at fighting! How can he be a civil servant?"

"Humph! Even if you can fight, there will be a time when you are exhausted!"

The rain has stopped. The Shadow Guards have suffered numerous casualties. They are at the end of their strength and can no longer delay. Song Xiaoyuan frowned and killed the last man. "Yan Li, I know you are nearby. Why don't you dare to come out and capture me alive? I can't kill anymore. I'm tired."

"Song Xiaoyuan, you are really capable! It would be a pity to kill you."

Yan Li and his son walked out of the crowd of deadpools with swords in hand. King Li spoke, "Song Xiaoyuan, why? You are holding on to the city defense map and not handing it over. Aren't you trying to lure us out? Look, my brother, Emperor Yan, doesn't trust you or give you any time. He is issuing an order to arrest you! Do you want me to read it to you?"

The son of King Li held up the wanted order and said with a sneer, "Song Xiaoyuan! You are collaborating with the enemy and betraying your country. You have repeatedly ignored the will and gone against the orders. You are considered disloyal! Arrest him immediately and execute him!"

"You are so talented in both literature and martial arts, why don't you stay with us? You are just a second-rank official, but if we succeed, we will make you a king!"

"Yes! Hand over the blueprints or you will die!"

Song Xiaoyuan listened to the two's funny crosstalk for a long time, curled his lips and clenched the red moon, "Capture it! Kill it!"

The shadow guard fought a desperate battle with Song Xiaoyuan. Song Xiaoyuan appeared in front of King Li without a shadow. The red moon cut through King Li's clothes. King Li was caught off guard and was glad that he was wearing soft armor. He raised his sword to resist the red moon's killing and gritted his teeth and said, "Song Xiaoyuan, are you a human or a demon?"

Seeing that his father was at a disadvantage, Yan Xu wanted to assassinate Song Xiaoyuan from behind, but Song Xiaoyuan dodged him and he was scratched on the chest by Chi Yue instead.

Song Xiaoyuan had been fighting for a long time and was at his last strength. Under the fierce attack of King Li and his son, Chiyue was unable to escape. King Li saw that the time had come and stabbed Song Xiaoyuan's right shoulder with his sword: "It seems that you are a human! There will be a time when you are exhausted!"

Song Xiaoyuan was powerless, and was stabbed again at the same place where he was stabbed by the Qiang Guards. He knelt on one knee in pain. Yan Xu raised his sword and placed it on Song Xiaoyuan's bloodstained neck: "Hand over the city defense map! I'll spare your life."

Song Xiaoyuan raised his head and smiled wickedly: "There is no city defense map."

King Li turned the sword that was inserted into his right shoulder and said, "Tell the truth!"

Song Xiaoyuan felt pain, but his sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed and he still smiled warmly: "I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe it?"

"Father, don't waste time talking to him. If he recovers, we won't be able to catch him! Since he doesn't want to do this, why not kill him directly and find the city defense map!"

King Li's silence was regarded as his acquiescence.
