A life of two souls traveling through time

“We can all win the Best Actor award for the play just now. It was really wonderful. I didn’t expect that I have this talent…” In the carriage, Jiang Siyao was in a good mood. This was the first time in her life that she did not back down when faced with a problem and was able to keep her composure and get out of it cleverly.

"Sir, what prize is it?" Ange, who was sitting obediently by the car door, looked confused.

"I'm praising your acting skills!" Li Yunye laughed happily, "But it was really thanks to you just now."

"Thank you for your praise, sir... But do you really think we have concealed this from Mr. Zhao?"

Ange suddenly poured a basin of cold water on him, and the smile on Li Yunye's face froze:

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Zhao is not someone who can be easily fooled. I'm afraid what we did just now was just a show of skill before an expert."

"Never mind him. We have already gotten out safely. Nothing else matters." Li Yunye didn't want to think about it anymore. He would just try to avoid Zhao Chu in the future.

"That's true." Seeing that the young master didn't care at all, Ange was no longer worried. Instead, she secretly blamed herself for worrying too much and disturbing the young master's good mood.

It was not yet the hour of You, but the sky was already getting darker. The wind and snow were freezing cold, and the streets were even more deserted.

"What a nice smell, what's that smell?" Li Yunye lifted a corner of the car curtain and was about to enjoy the street view outside, but unexpectedly, the aroma of barbecue hit his nose.

"Sir, this smells like the chicken from Li Sanniang's kiln." Ange sniffed and pointed diagonally across the carriage and continued, "Li Sanniang's shop is in the alley opposite. Sir, please wait, I'll go buy it."

"Well, be careful and come back quickly."

Just after Li Yunye saw An Ge entering the alley opposite, a muffled groan suddenly came from outside the carriage and someone fell to the ground. When he was about to open the door to check, the carriage suddenly moved, and due to inertia he also fell into the carriage with a "clang".

"Dashi, stop the car, Ange hasn't come back yet!" Li Yunye didn't care about the hit on his forehead and shouted at the car door.

But the carriage not only did not stop, but its speed was getting faster and faster, and Li Yunye inside the carriage was also bumped around.

"Stop! Stop immediately!" The carriage was speeding through the snow, causing the body of the carriage to be bumpy and slippery, which was extremely dangerous. Li Yunye, who had been knocked unconscious, was so frightened that he even forgot to shout for help.

It was unknown how long it was before the carriage suddenly stopped, and Li Yunye bumped into the door due to inertia. After he reacted, he hurriedly opened the door but before he could see clearly outside, he saw a sharp broadsword facing him, which scared him so much that he fell back into the car again.

"You...who are you...what do you want to do...let's talk it over nicely...whatever you want...I will give it to you!" Li Yunye's face was pale, and he huddled in a corner of the carriage, looking at the two masked men in black in front of the door in horror.

"You'll give us everything we want?" the knife-wielding man asked with a sneer.

"Give it to me, give it to you, as long as you...don't hurt me." Seeing the other party start to put forward conditions, Li Yunye breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

"We want your life." But the cold words of the other man in black almost made him faint.

"Why... I have no grudge against you guys... Why do you want to kill me?" No way, another tragic death? What kind of bad fate is this for Li Yunye? Also, if this body is killed, will I live or die?

"No reason, you are the son of the famous Li family in Jiangnan."

“Wu... Wuu... I want to go home... I don’t want to play anymore... Can you please stop playing tricks on me...?” The target was clear, it seemed to be a revenge killing, Jiang Siyao burst into tears in despair.

Naturally, she didn't want to die, but she was also afraid that she had become one with this body, and if she was damaged, everything would be damaged, and her body and soul might also be gone. In that case, she would never be able to go back.

"How can the young master of the Li family act like a woman? Stop crying!" Annoyed by the crying sounds that were getting louder and louder, the man in black with a knife shouted sternly.

"If I don't cry...you...can you not kill me?" Li Yunye was frightened by the other party's scolding, and asked with a choked voice.

"cannot!"

“Wow, wow, wow…” I’m going to die anyway, so what’s wrong with crying?

"Brother, when are we going to take action? This pretty boy is so annoying!" The man in black holding the knife had already lost his patience and scratched his ear irritably.

"If I were you, I would have run away by now." Before the other man in black could speak, a familiar voice surprised and delighted Li Yunye.

"Miss Xuanyu, save me!" While the two men in black were focusing their attention outside, Li Yunye seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He quickly stood up and leaned against the car window, shouting.

It was completely dark at this time. With the help of the torch held by the coachman on the carriage not far away, Li Yunye could clearly see Xuanyu wrapped in a mink dress in front of the carriage and her maid Hongnu following behind her.

"Miss Xuanyu, why didn't you take a few more people with you when you walked at night?" Looking at two weak women and an ordinary coachman, Li Yunye's hope, which had just risen, instantly dimmed.

"Mr. Li, you should worry more about yourself right now." Yan Yu remained calm as always and smiled at Li Yunye.

Li Yunye was choked for a moment, and even though he was anxious, he still closed his mouth.

"Hey, you dead woman, what did you say just now about running away?" Outside the carriage, the man in black with a knife pointed the knife at Yan Yu again and said angrily viciously.

"Watch your mouth..." The one who couldn't help but speak was Hong Nu behind Xuan Yu, but was quickly stopped by Xuan Yu.

"Didn't you notice that there was a fire several miles behind us?" Yan Yu walked forward a few steps slowly and smiled faintly.

The calm demeanor of Huanyu made Jiang Siyao, who had just burst into tears, both surprised and impressed: facing the knife-wielding villain, the weak girl was not only fearless, but also dared to take a few steps forward provocatively. She was courageous and it is true that there have always been chivalrous women in the world since ancient times!

After being reminded by Yan Yu, the two men in black finally noticed the fire in the distance and looked at each other in surprise.

"Brother!" It can be seen that the man in black with the knife is already panicking.

"Are you saying that your people are all within miles? Humph, the two of us brothers are enough to kill you all before they arrive." The other man in black remained calm.

"Oh, really? My driver also knows some knife skills. Although he is not very good, he once chopped off the heads of more than 20 bandits by himself and escaped unscathed. Today, I would like to learn from you two. Oh, and by the way, the people chasing us from several miles away are not my people, but the government." Yan Yu was still calm and not annoyed, and smiled calmly.

"Brother?" The man in black with the knife became even more panicked when he heard that it was a government official.

"Retreat!" The other man in black was silent for a moment, then retreated.

Soon, the two robbers disappeared into the bamboo forest nearby.

"It's okay... It's finally okay..." The danger was eliminated, and Li Yunye slumped exhausted in the carriage, tears welling up as if he was about to cry again.

"Why are you reluctant to leave, Mr. Li? Aren't you afraid that those two will suddenly change their minds and come back to kill you?"

"Wait for me.....wait for me!"

After being reminded by Jing Yu, Li Yunye crawled and rolled off the carriage.

"Thank you Miss Xuanyu for saving my life tonight..." Li Yunye came in front of Xuanyu and bowed to her solemnly.

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Xuanyu will take you back now." Xuanyu didn't seem to care. She first returned the salute politely, then made way for the other party to get on the carriage.

Li Yunye no longer had any concerns. He just wanted to return to the Li family as soon as possible, so he hurriedly got on Yanyu's carriage.

"By the way, don't we have to wait for the government officials to arrive behind?" After the carriage started moving, Li Yunye remembered the fire in the distance.

"I was just trying to scare those two people, and you believed me, sir?" In the dark carriage, Yan Yu laughed softly.

"What? What is that... that fire?"

"It was an abandoned old house that caught fire, and we just happened to pass by." Hong Nu also laughed.

"What a clever girl..." Li Yunye now looked at Yanyu with admiration in his heart and eyes.

"My girl's cleverness doesn't stop there. Uncle Chen's martial arts were also made up by my girl. In fact, he is just an ordinary rickshaw driver."

"Yes, girl, what you said just now scared an old man like me." The coachman driving the carriage outside was also still in shock.

"Uncle Chen, your acting skills just now are quite impressive!"

"Hahaha, the girl is teasing me again." The driver laughed heartily.

"But this is so dangerous, what if..." Although Li Yunye admired him, he still felt a little scared.

"There is no chance of that happening. They believed it, and Master Li is safe and sound. This is the result."

"That's true...By the way, why are you here?" Don't say that you came here specifically to save him, Li Yunye.

"That was just a coincidence. My daughter went to the Jinchen Temple outside the city to burn incense today. Because of the heavy snow, she was delayed for most of the day and is now rushing back. She didn't expect to run into Master Li who was kidnapped outside the city. She also heard him crying loudly..."

"Red slave, you must not be unreasonable."

Hearing Hong Nu covering her mouth and laughing secretly, and thinking back to how cowardly and stupid she was in the carriage just now, Jiang Siyao wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
