Xie Xuan was a suspicious person by nature, but he was also very suspicious. There were a lot of people who were afraid of death among the servants and attendant in the back garden, in the blink of an eye, they had sold out their masters in order to protect themselves.

"Let's go!"

Wen Jiu grabbed Xie Qi's wrist.

Xie Xuan's days in the Xie's Mansion had always been difficult, and he was probably the only one who knew the most about this mansion's most secluded area.

Soon, they arrived at the most remote place, the Autumn Maple House, where Xie Xuan had lived before. He brought two people inside, directly into the inner room, and let Wen Jiu and Xie Qi sit on the bed. Then, he jumped up and pressed his hands on the bed, and flipped over the entire bed, causing the three of them to fall down together.

It seemed like the secret passage would not lead him to the outside of the city no matter what. The sky was about to brighten when he opened the hole and walked out.

Xie Xuan knocked twice on the stone wall, and a piece of the wall fell down, directly sealing the hole.

Xie Xuan said: "I can't catch up, sit down and rest for a while."

Xie Qi's face was as white as paper and his face was covered in cold sweat. However, he did not forget to support Wen Jiu, "Miss Wen, how are your injuries?"

Wen Jiu's ankle was so swollen that it looked like it was about to explode. Just a moment ago, he was completely relying on his will to escape, but now that he had completely relaxed, his legs seemed to have become lead as he fell on the ground, falling down to the ground. He couldn't help but glance at Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan knew what she wanted to say, and lightly said: "I was always afraid that I would be silently killed one day, but I didn't expect this secret passage to be used today."

With Xie Xuan's ability to cause his Great Yan Dynasty to change drastically before the age of twenty, it wasn't strange for him to think about something like this, not to mention that he had a mother who wished for nothing more than for him to die everyday. It would instead be strange if she didn't give him something to protect him.

"Find a boat and cross the river!"

Wen Jiu sat for a moment, then forced himself to get up, after all, this was not a safe place.

If her memories of her previous life were put here, it would no longer be useful, and she absolutely could not repeat Changping County. Tonight, that place would probably already be a dead city, with tens of thousands of corpses piled up like mountains.

Passing through this vast Chang Ning River would mean that there would be tens of thousands of water masters suppressing the city. No matter how fast one's cavalry of Great Jin was, it would be impossible for them to cross the river and attack the city in one night.

After escaping for a long time, Xie Qi quickly dove into the reeds to look for a boat. There were a lot of fishermen fishing in this area, and when they went ashore to go back home, they would dock at the reeds.

Xie Xuan walked to the side of the water and looked into the distance. The heavy rain did not stop for a long time, and once the river became foggy, he could not see what was on the other side.

At this moment, the sounds of horses galloping could be heard. The person at the front shouted, "Kill all living beings!"

cavalry of Great Jin replied in unison, "Yes!"

The voices of thousands of people overlapped with each other, spreading out a murderous intent that terrified everyone.

Wen Jiu had just found a broken fishing boat at this time. Xie Qi and Xie Xuan fumbled their way over from the two sides.

It was unknown who the pursuers were, but the riders began to search towards the reeds. As they got closer and closer, they hacked towards the reeds with their sabers. Some of them were hiding inside, but they were cut into two halves; it was extremely bloody. The women and girls who had been caught by the river tore their clothes and surrounded them. They laughed lewdly and did things that were worse than those of beasts.

The cold wind was blowing on the river. The young boys and girls were all wearing thin clothes, and were so thin that they were practically being blown away by the wind.

"Third Brother."

Wen Jiu reached out to pull Xie Xuan, and the youth took out a dagger, and immediately chopped off the rope that tied the boat to him. Wen Jiu's fingertip only touched Xie Xuan's wet sleeve.

After the river rushed the fishing boat away from the shore, Xie Xuan threw the dagger onto the deck. He looked at Wen Jiu and said expressionlessly: "If it's time to beg for death, then I'll end it myself as soon as possible."

Wen Jiu watched as Xie Xuan walked further and further away from them. The big fog shrouded Chang Ning River and the water flow around their ears was extremely fast. The youth who was almost standing in the reeds turned around and lured the riders away, gradually disappearing from their sight.

Xie Qi slumped onto the deck, and muttered: "Third Brother."

With the waves rolling, how could Xie Xuan still hear Xie Qi's soft call.

There were many Steel Cavalry by the river. One of them shouted, "Someone has crossed the river by boat!"

"Release the arrows!"

With that said, the arrow feathers were like rain that flew towards the small fishing boat. Xie Qi suddenly pounced on Wen Jiu, tightly protecting her body, a few arrows pierced through the young man's thin body, causing boiling blood to spread on Wen Jiu's body. She opened her eyes wide, without making a sound, tears silently flowed out.

The arrows continuously rained down, and the broken fishing boat swayed left and right from the arrows, as if it was about to fall from the river. This young man, who had been deemed as incomparably weak since he was born, had somehow obtained the strength to protect her.

"Don't look... Miss Wen... "

Xie Qi raised his hand extremely slowly and covered her eyes, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, "I also want to think of those youths written in the books as well. To be happy in the martial arts world... These... I know that my whole life... I didn't even have the chance to do it, but today... I also protected what I liked... "The girl I like …"

Wen Jiu hugged him, "Xie Qi! Don't say anymore, after we cross the river, I'll find the best doctor for you. You will live for a hundred years, and we will live forever together! Xie Qi... "

As the small fishing boat drifted across the river, the arrows that were flying nonstop became further and further away. The river water rushed into the boat and the blood and water mixed together, causing Wen Jiu to feel cold all over and not dare to move an inch.

"Miss Wen... "You … really look good."

Xie Qi embraced her, and their voices became softer and softer, until they were completely silent.

"Xie Qi!"

Wen Jiu hugged the dead teenager and cried.

In his entire life, Xie Qi had died at the age of sixteen.
