He carried Tao Tao back to their original room, locked the door and then treated her wound.

After finishing, he sat in the yard, holding his face with his hands and sighing, feeling a little annoyed.

He was so angry just now that he had no self-control at all.

Tao Tao's dazed look afterwards must have caused her to be traumatized.

After taking another look at the room, Yi An shook his dizzy head and strode back to the bedroom.

Little did he know that the scene of him carrying Tao Tao back to the house was clearly seen by the people on the back mountain.

Han Liuyi became more certain of her thoughts.

However, she has to rescue Tao Tao first, otherwise Yi An might take Tao Tao as a hostage.

Late at night, Han Liuyi quietly landed downstairs, opened the window of Tao Tao's room, and climbed in.

Inside the room, Tao Tao sat on the bed, hugging her knees with her hands, her head lowered, and her whole body trembling.

Hearing the sound, she raised her head sharply and looked towards the window in horror.

This time it was real, she saw a figure, but she had no strength now, could not shout, could only watch the figure approach.

"Shh, don't be afraid." Han Liuyi took out a glowing stone from her arms. The faint light was enough for the two to see each other's faces clearly.

At just one glance, she noticed that something was wrong with Tao Tao.

"You are sick," she said.

Tao Tao thought she was hallucinating and whispered, "Han Liuyi?"

Han Liuyi nodded and said, "It's me."

Tao Tao asked, "Why are you here? Did Yi An ask you to come?"

Han Liuyi smiled and said concisely: "Of course not, I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" Tao Tao looked at the ground blankly. "Then you can help me by giving me a dagger."

Han Liuyi frowned and asked, "What do you mean, you want to commit suicide?"

Tao Tao nodded, her voice weak: "Yes, he locked me up here and I can't escape. Yinyin and the others thought I was dead. It's better to be freed early than to be locked up for a lifetime." She seemed to have suddenly found someone to talk to, or perhaps she felt that she was going to die, so she said these words directly.

"Who said they thought you..." Han Liuyi raised her eyebrows, thinking about the withdrawal of the wanted order, and guessed that Yi An probably deliberately let Tao Tao hear the situation outside to make her give up.

"I understand, Miss Tao, Miss Meng and the others have been looking for you." Han Liuyi said, "I have been outside, and I know all this very well. They have already arrived in Tongqiu County."

"What?" Tao Tao's eyes widened. "Really...are they still looking for me?"

In that case, Xun Yan is not dead!

"That's right." Han Liuyi nodded, "I've also seen Yiqing. They were in disguise. I guess they didn't want to alert the enemy, so they withdrew the wanted order."

Tao Tao immediately understood and murmured, "So that's how it is. Yi An deliberately let me know so that I would give up and stay with him."

Han Liuyi said: "Yes, so don't think about committing suicide. I will help you escape."

As she spoke, she took the stone and looked at the ground. She saw several chains and cursed in her heart, saying, "He actually used this on you."

Tao Tao lowered her head and said, "He wanted to prevent me from escaping. Han Liuyi, why did you help me?"

Han Liuyi sat on the bed and said, "I did hurt you before, but we were on different sides at that time, so I won't talk about it. I'm helping you now not because I'm kind, but because helping you will be useful for my revenge."

"Revenge?" Tao Tao asked in a puzzled tone.

Han Liuyi smiled and said, "It's none of your business. Now that you know they haven't given up on looking for you, you don't have to think about committing suicide, right?"

As she said, Tao Tao really didn't think about committing suicide.

"But I'm wearing these on my hands and feet, so it might be difficult to do it." Tao Tao said.

Han Liuyi thought for a while and said, "That's true. Think about it, is there any way to make Yi An take it off temporarily?"

Tao Tao lowered her brows and thought for a while, then said, "The day after tomorrow, he wants me to marry him, and I should take this off by then."

Han Liuyi pondered for a moment and said, "Well, you agree to marry him first, and then I'll tell you what to do."

Without waiting for Tao Tao to react, she looked outside vigilantly, stood up and whispered, "I'm leaving first. Don't worry, I'm trustworthy, and I'm helping you for revenge."

After saying that, she quickly climbed out of the window.

Tao Tao couldn't hold up her body and fell directly on the bed. Now knowing that Yinyin and the others were still looking for her, she didn't want to die anymore and pulled the quilt to cover herself.

She felt it was so unreal. She was about to become confused and give up on herself, when Han Liuyi suddenly came here and said she would help her.

She couldn't figure out what she felt for a moment. Han Liuyi had hurt them before, and now she said she would help her for revenge. So something must have happened between her and Yi An.

Tao Tao stopped thinking about it. Her head was still aching and she was exhausted both physically and mentally. Besides, people are complicated by nature. Han Liuyi had harmed them before because of different standpoints. Helping her now was also profitable. It couldn't be said that she suddenly changed from bad to good.

But if she didn't think about these things, her heart started to panic again. Perhaps because of the fever, she was very afraid of the dark and was startled at every turn.

Tao Tao pulled the quilt over her head, as if that would make her feel better.

-

The streets of Tongqiu County were much narrower than those of the ten major cities, but it was also quite prosperous. The market was bustling with people, and ordinary people would never notice that there was a girl wearing a headscarf, covering her face and lowering her head in the crowd.

Meng Yin’s acting skills are quite mature. She looks around from time to time, acting as if she is very afraid of being discovered.

Gu Ling and others were in the dark.

She stopped, bought a bun in front of the bun shop, turned the corner and walked to another street, and asked someone for directions.

Meng Yin was a little flustered. She had entered Tongqiu County in the morning and it was almost noon now, but no one had come up yet.

Could it be that Yi An didn't arrange any personnel in the city? Or they weren't even in Tongqiu County at all? !

It is also possible that his men have no idea what Tao Tao looks like.

If they knew, they would have caught her first and taken her back to interrogate her.

As Meng Yin thought this, she slowed down her pace a little. Before she realized it, two men were staring at her in the teahouse on the street.

The two looked at each other, and the one with the stubble spoke first: "Old Wang, it's really the girl that the young master brought back. I can't be wrong!"

Lao Wang stroked his chin and said, "But I didn't hear any whistle. If she really ran away, she should have blown a whistle for us."

The other man was obviously impatient. He shook Lao Wang's shoulder, stood up and said, "Maybe she escaped last night. We didn't hear her whistle. She's leaving. Hurry up and chase her! If she finds the Qianji Sect's gunpowder shop, we'll be finished!"

After hearing this, Lao Wang also stood up, and the two of them flew out of the window.

The wanted warrant and the missing person order have been withdrawn, and they only need to collect their monthly salary and live a carefree life in the county. Now, for some reason, the person has escaped, and if they are not caught, they will be doomed too.

On the street, Meng Yin was talking to a peddler. The peddler gave her a look. Meng Yin glanced back and immediately understood what he meant.

She lifted her skirt and ran quickly toward the alley.

Lao Wang was shocked and said, "Oh no! If we run past here, we will find the Qianji Sect's gunpowder shop."

"Chase!"

Just as Meng Yin reached the corner of the alley, two big men dropped from the sky and landed in front of her.

She pretended to panic and turned to run, but one of them blocked her way.

"I'm sorry, Miss Tao, you have to go back with us." said Old Wang.

The other man said anxiously: "Stop talking, just knock her out and take her back!" As he said that, he reached out to grab her arm.

Meng Yin stepped back, loosened her hands, and the cloth on her head fell down.

She smiled and said, "Really? Look who I am?"

She grabbed the skin at the jawline and pulled it outward, revealing the real face underneath.
