After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

The man looked in the direction of his son's finger. The baby was already in the sky. The man saw it as a solid cloud. "What's the big deal? It's just a cloud. But it's rare to see such a solid cloud in the middle of the night."

The boy felt a little strange when he heard this, but he couldn't tell what was strange. He looked at the cloud in the sky for a long time, then looked away, continued eating his candied haws, and followed his father's footsteps as he walked slowly on the street.

Yuan Ye's family was wrapped in the baby, and although the baby was unconscious, they were well taken care of and were not even blown by the wind.

After making sure that the baby had left safely, Xiao Yuheng quickly returned to Lun Xiaoyao and waited for Xu Qingqing to come back and reunite.

As for Xu Qingqing, after strolling around the street with the people following her, she estimated that it was about time and started to prepare to return with them.

Seeing Xu Qingqing starting to return, the people following behind her were wondering if Xu Qingqing had gone crazy, running in the middle of the night?!

Xu Qingqing had no idea what these people were thinking. She curled up her lips into a sly smile and ran back.

When she returned to Lun Xiaoyao, she saw Xiao Yuheng already waiting for her in the study.

Seeing Xu Qingqing return safely, Xiao Yuheng's mouth curled up, and the two of them knew when they looked at each other that tonight's rescue plan was successfully completed.

Now all the two of them need to do is leave quietly.

Thinking of the foreseeable scene, Xu Qingqing felt that in order to avoid any further trouble, she should leave as soon as possible.

"Go to bed early. We still have a lot of physical work to do tomorrow." Xu Qingqing walked closer to Xiao Yuheng, patted his arm and said.

Xiao Yuheng felt the touch on his arm and nodded in understanding. He rubbed Xu Qingqing's head and said, "Then go to bed early."

After seeing Xiao Yuheng off, Xu Qingqing glanced at a few corners outside the window without leaving a trace, then washed up quickly and lay down on the bed with her eyes closed to rest.

An hour later, when the people who were monitoring outside were most tired, Xu Qingqing opened her eyes quickly and got out of bed quietly.

When I opened the door, I saw Xiao Yuheng also opening the door from the next door.

The two smiled at each other, and quietly opened the secret passage in Lun Xiaoyao. Xu Qingqing went first, and Xiao Yuheng followed behind, placing a few inconspicuous stones at the entrance of the secret passage.

The next second, the scene at the entrance of the secret passage changed. It can be said that the entrance of the secret passage now seems to be hidden, and it is difficult to find it for a while.

Feeling that Xiao Yuheng was catching up, Xu Qingqing asked from the front: "Formation?"

"Well, buy them some time." In the darkness, Xiao Yuheng took two quick steps to catch up with Xu Qingqing, and reached out to hold Xu Qingqing's hand.

"Ok?"

Xiao Yuheng touched the tip of his nose with his left hand, and said without any shame: "Qingqing's secret passage is so dark, I'm scared~"

Xu Qingqing's mouth twitched slightly: "Do you believe this?"

Xiao Yuheng curled his lips, but still held Xu Qingqing's hand tightly.

Seeing that the person behind her stopped talking, Xu Qingqing raised the corners of her mouth, but she held Xiao Yuheng's hand with a little force.

Feeling Xu Qingqing's response, Xiao Yuheng couldn't contain the smile on his face and the joy emanating from his body.

Suddenly, Xu Qingqing said in a playful tone: "You are not as cold as you were when we first met."

"Really?" Xiao Yuheng raised his eyebrows, not wanting to admit it.

He now understands that the child who cries gets the milk, but Qingqing only responds to soft words and not hard ones.

"Of course, you..."

In the darkness, Xu Qingqing talked about how she first saw Xiao Yuheng, her impression of him, and many, many other things...

Xiao Yuheng responded from time to time, and the two walked like this for a long, long time until light appeared ahead.

"We're here." Xu Qingqing spoke first.

Xu Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng walked out of the secret passage and chose a secluded path. The morning sunlight shone through the treetops on them in patches, and their shadows stretched out in the woods.

After walking for about three hours, the two men paused and slowed down their pace. Then their keen five senses told them that danger was approaching silently.

"They are chasing us." Xiao Yuheng reminded in a low voice. His eyes were solemn and his hands were tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, ready for battle.

Xu Qingqing nodded, her eyes were firm, and she took out the soft sword from her waist, ready to fight at any time.

In this forest gradually filled with a tense atmosphere, both groups knew that the other side had discovered them. The air between them seemed to solidify into substance, so heavy that it was suffocating.

The branches and leaves of the trees swayed gently in the breeze, but they no longer carried a trace of vitality. Instead, they seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, adding a bloody foreshadowing to the upcoming battle.

The sunlight was blocked by thick clouds, and only a few dim rays of light occasionally penetrated the clouds, barely illuminating the battlefield.

These rays of light danced on the cold light of the sword, flashing a cold and dangerous light.

Both sides remained highly vigilant, with determination and coldness revealed in their eyes.

Their breathing, footsteps, and even heartbeats were all very clear in the silent woods. There was an indescribable tension in the air, like the calm before a storm, which made people tense up involuntarily.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, blowing up the fallen leaves and dust on the ground, making a rustling sound.

This sound at this moment was like the beating of a war drum, urging both sides to start this life-and-death contest as soon as possible. And every tree and every leaf in the forest seemed to have become a witness to this battle, quietly watching everything that was about to happen.

Suddenly, several black shadows jumped out from the surrounding woods, surrounded Xu Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng from all directions, and blocked their retreat. The men in black were agile and obviously well-trained killers. They had only one goal - to capture or kill Xu Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng.

A fierce battle broke out.

Xiao Yuheng took the lead in launching the attack. His figure was as fast as lightning, and with a flash of sword light, a man in black fell to the ground. Xu Qingqing was not to be outdone. She flexibly shuttled between the men in black. Every move she made was extremely accurate, and her soft sword was as deadly as a ghost.

The men in black also attacked fiercely and used brutal moves, but Xu Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng cooperated well, one attacking and one defending, and repelled them one by one.

As Xu Qingqing's soft sword danced, it drew silver arcs, and every swing was accompanied by the sound of whistling wind. Her body was agile, like a butterfly flying through flowers, skillfully avoiding every attack from the enemy.

Xiao Yuheng was like a tiger descending from the mountain, his sword skills were fierce, and every strike was aimed directly at the vital points. His sword tip poked, stabbed, chopped, and cut, and every move was full of power and murderous intent, making it difficult for the opponent to resist.

In the fierce fight, Xu Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng's swordsmanship became more and more fierce. Every collision of the sword tips was accompanied by a deafening sound, as if even the air was shaking. Their figures shuttled through the woods like two lightning bolts, leaving a trail of afterimages.
