After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

As Xia Nian expected, the three of them got drunk without any surprise.

In order to prevent Meng Yin and Xu Zheng from singing a song, Gu Ling and Pei Xuanxi took them back to the house early.

Seeing Yiqing carrying Taozi away, Xia Nian patted her skirt and stood up, looking at Xia Houyu: "Aren't you leaving?"

Xiahou Yu held his cheek with one hand, looking depressed. When he heard her words, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "A Nian, are you a little drunk?"

Xia Nian shook his head: "No, I just had one drink."

Xiahou Yu muttered: "Am I not your husband? Why are you so defensive against me..."

Xia Nian turned her head and looked at his petty look, she couldn't help laughing, and reached out to hold his hand. Xia Houyu's eyebrows were happy, and she took his hand with a smile.

Back in the house, Xia Nian took the first shower. When Xia Houyu went to take a shower, she took out the book over there and opened it.

The words that allowed them to find the jade slip disappeared.

Xia Nian didn't know what was going on. She turned the pages to the front, and the densely packed words made her dizzy.

After a quick look, it described what happened to them in the four main cities. Again, it was not very detailed, just general descriptions of the events, like in a history book.

Xia Nian put away the book and sat at the table thinking.

There is one last city left, and I wonder if they will leave after visiting this place.

Or maybe he will leave only after Mr. Han and the others die.

More likely, you'll never be able to leave.

Just as she was thinking, Xia Houyu pushed the door open and saw Xia Nian sitting upright on a stool. He walked over and knelt on one knee in front of her and asked, "A Nian, what are you thinking about?"

Xia Nian looked at the smile in his eyes and asked slowly: "Xia Houyu, if, I mean if, I left suddenly, what would you do?"

Xiahou Yu was stunned, then smiled and said, "Of course, with you."

Xia Nian lowered her head slightly, and the candlelight shone on the side of her face, leaving a soft shadow.

"Can't we be together?"

Xiahou Yu frowned, grabbed her hand, and said, "Anian, why are you saying this? Did something happen?"

Xia Nian shook his head, put on a joking expression, and said, "No, I just suddenly wanted to tease you."

Xia Houyu looked at her for a long while, until Xia Nian's face almost froze with laughter, and then he asked, "Really?"

"Really." Xia Nian said, standing up and walking towards the bed. When passing by Xia Houyu, he suddenly reached out and hugged her waist, pulling her into his arms.

Before Xia Nian could react, she fell into his arms. Her face felt a little itchy from being brushed by his long hair. Then she saw Xia Hou Yu's face hidden in the shadow.

Xia Nian was startled and felt that she shouldn't ask Xia Houyu. She was about to say that she was tired and wanted to rest, but Xia Houyu curled his lips and said, "A Nian, I always feel that you are hiding something from me."

Xia Nian said: "No, okay, it's time to go to bed."

Xiahou Yu nodded, but held her tighter, picked her up and walked towards the bed.

The next second, Xia Nian was pushed onto the bed. Xia Houyu came very close and said, "Okay then, but your question tonight scared me. I want to make it up to you!"

"What……"

Before Xia Nian could finish her words, Xia Houyu interrupted her. After a long while, Xia Houyu raised his head and gently bit her lips.

While Xia Nian was still angry, Xia Houyu took the lead and said, "A Nian, I'm very tired from traveling today. Let's continue tomorrow night."

As he said that, he carried Xia Nian into the quilt, blew out the light quickly, then came back in and hugged her tightly.

Xia Nian didn't ask any more questions. Since he didn't want to continue, there was no need for her to force an excuse. Besides, she was really tired during the day and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

After a moment of silence, Xia Houyu suddenly opened his eyes and raised his head. In the darkness, his eyes were clearly black and white, and no emotion could be seen. He looked at the sleeping Xia Nian without blinking.

He reached out his hand, touched her lips with his fingertips, and murmured, "Why do you say leave?"

-

The horse's hooves kicked up countless flying dust, and with a loud clattering sound, it finally stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

The man at the door had obviously been waiting for a long time. When he saw someone coming, he hurried forward to pull the rope and said anxiously, "Master Yi'an, you are finally here."

Yi An jumped off his horse and asked, "What's going on?"

The man said, "The Xijiang tribe leader heard that the young leader was paraded through the streets and had his hair shaved on the execution platform... so he wanted to bring people to rescue the young leader!"

Yi An frowned and said, "Fools, how could Miao Ke be allowed to live if he fell into Gu Ling's hands! I'm afraid he is waiting for them to take the bait now."

The man nodded repeatedly and said, "So Mr. Han wants you to come and persuade him."

Yi An didn't say much and followed him in. A teacup was thrown at him, he turned his head to avoid it, his eyes gradually turned cold.

In front, Miao Zhuo was breathing heavily, and several people couldn't stop him. Old Han was still persuading him.

Yi An said: "Miao tribe leader, don't be reckless. It will be useless for you to go now. They just want you to show up. This is a conspiracy."

Miao Zhuo said: "What about conspiracy? What about overt conspiracy? I have already lost a son. Ah Xin was playful since he was young. I can attribute his death to carelessness. But Ah Ke! He is the purest bloodline in Western Xinjiang! He actually lost to a woman!"

Yi An looked at him calmly, remembering the first time he met Miao Ke and Miao Xin, he noticed the difference between them. Miao Ke looked exotic, with deep features and green eyes, while Miao Xin looked a bit like a mainlander. Now that he thought about it, they were probably not from the same mother.

Yi An said, "Miao Ke probably underestimated the enemy, so the rebels were eliminated in the Soul Devouring Hall. It was Meng Yin's idea. He acted rashly without understanding the enemy, so this result is not surprising."

Hearing what he said, Miao Zhuo raised his head slowly, his eyes filled with even more anger, and asked, "You mean, he deserves to die?"

Yi An said calmly: "He may not be dead yet, but if you act rashly, he will definitely die. It is better to wait and see and act when the time is right."

He glanced at Old Han, and they both knew that there was no chance that Miao Ke could survive.

Miao Zhuo collapsed on the couch, rubbing his face with his big hands. After a long time, he raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Death is not terrible, but I have to suffer such an insult before death! It's simply not taking our Xijiang people seriously. Cutting off your hair is like trampling on the face of our Xijiang people!"

"Besides...Ake will never be reborn! This is a curse on our Western Frontier!"

Yi'an listened without showing any emotion. He scoffed at such stupid talk.

Han Laodao said: "Miao tribe leader, you can't gamble with the lives of so many brothers!"

Miao Zhuo said angrily: "Then what do you say we should do!"

Han Laodao: "Don't be anxious yet. They just got the jade slip and their foundation is not stable."

Yi An also said: "I know the strength of those people. This must be a trap."

After a moment of silence, Miao Zhuo raised his hand and waved, sighing, "Everyone go down."

Hearing this, Yi An turned around and left without any hesitation.

Old Han chased after him, and when they were outside in the woods, he whispered, "Master Yi, what's the news?"

Yi An shook his head and said, "Except for Miao Ke being paraded through the streets, there was no other news."

Old Han thought for a moment and said, "Now that they have all got the jade slip, I am really worried that the plan will not work."

Yi An stopped and looked at him slowly. There was very little expression on his face since he arrived here.

"If you fail, save yourself first."

Old Han sneered, "Do you think they will let us go?"

Yi An raised his legs and said calmly: "Whether they can catch him is still a question."

Old Han did not catch up. He looked at Yi An's back and shouted, "Master Yi, please keep an eye on Liu Yi for me outside."

Yi An turned around and asked, "Miss Han? Where did she go?"

Old Han shook his head and said, "The child was too playful and ran away."

Yian observed the expression on his face and realized that things were not that simple, so he nodded and left.
