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

Before the two men could react, the man's outstretched hand was pierced by a flying knife and he let out a sharp scream.

Gu Ling appeared out of nowhere and hit him with a knife. The man fell to the ground and fainted.

Just as Lao Wang was about to run, Xu Zheng, who had climbed over from behind the wall, kicked him in the lower back. He fell to the ground and twitched twice.

Then Lu Yun also flew over from behind. He was wearing the clothes of a peddler and walked forward to pick up the two of them.

Meng Yin rubbed his arm and said, "He really took the bait. Quick, take him back for interrogation!"

Gu Ling nodded and carried her to the yard.

When they arrived at the yard, Xia Nian happened to come out. Seeing that they had brought two people back, he hurriedly asked, "Did it work?"

Meng Yin said: "Yes, let's interrogate him here."

She waved her hand, and Lu Yun brought ropes, tied them up tightly, and brought a basin of cold water to pour on their faces.

With a plop, the two coughed desperately, opened their eyes at the same time, and saw the people sitting and standing in front of them, still not understanding what was happening.

Meng Yin couldn't help it, so she stepped forward and grabbed one of them by the collar, shouting angrily, "Where's Taozi!"

The one that Meng Yin caught was Lao Wang. Before he could say anything, the impatient man next to him yelled, "Who are you? How dare you arrest people at will? Wait...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, Gu Ling kicked him to the ground. He struggled to get up and opened his mouth to foam at the mouth, but Gu Ling stepped on his chest again and rubbed him hard on the ground.

The man screamed heartbreakingly. Lao Wang trembled and said, "We...we don't know either. We were just following orders and patrolling the city."

Xia Nian stepped forward and said, "You don't know, but someone knows, who is the person you usually contact?"

Old Wang hesitated and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Meng Yin said directly: "Qiao Yi, use the Gu worm."

Just as Qiao Yi was about to come forward, he was stopped by Lu Yun. He put two fingers together and shot a ball of black stuff directly at Lao Wang.

Lao Wang only felt a sticky strip crawling in his throat, and he didn't know where it went. A bone-piercing pain came from his abdomen. His eyes were bloodshot and he screamed desperately.

Meng Yin grabbed his hair and yelled, "Tell me or not! If you don't, that thing down there will be in jeopardy."

Lao Wang nodded repeatedly and kept dry-heaving. Meng Yin sent a look behind him. Qiao Yi stepped forward to suppress the poisonous insects invading his body, but was stopped by Lu Yun. He whispered, "I'll do it."

The two had been colleagues for decades, so Qiao Yi naturally would not refuse.

This scene happened to be seen by Fu Nian who had just returned from outside.

Lu Yun pressed his acupuncture points a few times. Blood oozed from the corners of Lao Wang's mouth. He said weakly, "Just blow the whistle four times. If he responds once, Lord Yi's guardian will meet us at the manor not far from the city."

Xia Nian said: "It means he knows where the person is being held?!"

Lao Wang nodded and fainted.

Xu Zheng said angrily: "Okay, okay, our bet was right, Nian Nian's intuition is so accurate!"

"Yes, take out his whistle and blow it a few times." Meng Yin said.

Lu Yun took out a whistle from Lao Wang's arms, stuffed it into the mouth of the man next to him, and forced him to blow it four times.

Xia Nian said, "It will take some time for the man he mentioned to come here. He hasn't returned to the post yet. Let's send people to ambush in the village outside the city. Where is Yiqing? Where did he go?"

Meng Yin said: "I've gone to look for Gu Ling nearby. Hurry up and blow the whistle to ask him to come back!"

Gu Ling did as he was told, and Xia Nian and Meng Yin arranged for people to rush to the farm outside the city.

They were not sure when the man would arrive, so they could only lie in ambush.

Seeing Fu Nian standing there in a daze, the candied haws in his hand had melted, Xia Nian urged, "Fu Nian, take the two of them to the manor first, what are you thinking about?"

Fu Nian came back to his senses, glanced at Qiao Yi, and said, "Oh, okay, ma'am."

He took the two of them and went to the farm with several other people. Qiao Yi was also going. On the way, he deliberately flew to Qiao Yi's side and stared at her profile.

Qiao Yi turned his head and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Fu Nian pretended to be indifferent and glanced at Lu Yun who was not far ahead, and asked: "Qiao Yi, who do you have the best relationship with in your palace?"

When Fu Nian suddenly asked this question while they were on a mission, Qiao Yi didn't quite understand it and answered without even thinking, "Duan Yan and Lu Yun."

"Oh, then who do you have the closest relationship with between the two of them?" Fu Nian asked casually.

Qiao Yi said: "Lu Yun."

Indeed, although she and Duan Yan had been in the palace since childhood, Duan Yan was young, and the two did not practice martial arts together. She and Lu Yun grew up together, and they were both Gu Ling's protectors, so naturally they had a better relationship.

Fu Nian's face suddenly fell, and he asked sullenly, "Qiao Yi, do you like him and want to fall in love with someone else?"

Qiao Yi frowned and asked, "Who do you like? What do you mean by love with someone else?"

Fu Nian pursed his lips and was about to accuse her, but Lu Yun came to Qiao Yi and whispered something to her, and the two of them flew forward quickly.

Fu Nian stopped and raised his hands in the air, his expression like a child who didn't get any New Year's money.

Tao Tao didn't sleep well all night.

After Han Liuyi left, Granny Zhang brought some antipyretic medicine. Now knowing that Yiqing and the others were still looking for her, Tao Tao had hope of survival. She finally drank the medicine and ate something.

But once she fell asleep, she would have nightmares and wake up from them, over and over again.

Tao Tao simply lay flat on the bed, blinking at the beam. She felt that it was a bottomless black hole, as if a dry hand would reach out at any time and pull her down.

She was terrified, but she didn't have the strength or energy to show it. For some reason, when Han Liuyi brought news that several people had not given up looking for her, Tao Tao was only a little relieved that Xun Yan might not be dead, and she no longer had any other emotions.

Tao Tao closed her eyes, opened them again, and heard her own voice again.

Silhouette said: "How pitiful. You tried to escape twice but failed. In the end, you had to rely on others to help you. You even wanted to commit suicide."

Tao Tao didn't even bother to turn her head and said weakly: "After the second failure, the chance of escaping is very low."

"So you just want to die?"

"At that time, I thought Xunyan was dead. They didn't look for me. I was useless. I couldn't escape. I was locked up for life. I might as well die."

The silhouette had sat astride her at some point, his upper body pressed down on her, and he held her head with both hands.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you realize that your mood is very wrong now?"

Tao Tao smiled and said, "I'm sick, isn't this normal?"

"Why are you unhappy when you get the news that they haven't given up on you? Why do you have nightmares and why are you afraid of the dark? Have you ever thought about these?"

Tao Tao looked at her blankly and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm too tired..."

Silhouette said: "Do you think you will be fine after you go back like this? You have already changed a long time ago, but you haven't realized it yet."

Tao Tao closed her eyes and whispered, "Stop talking. I don't want to hear it."

As soon as she said this, the silhouette disappeared instantly.

Tao Tao didn't think about her words carefully. She herself realized that her mood was not right. Even when Han Liuyi brought her good news, she couldn't be happy. She didn't know whether it was because of her illness or the blow she suffered.

As soon as the silhouette disappeared, Tao Tao began to face the fear of darkness again. She felt so panicky, as if someone was holding a pair of small pliers and pulling the flesh of her heart off bit by bit.

Before Tao Tao realized that her body was shaking, the door suddenly opened. She opened her eyes reflexively and saw a ray of light shining in from outside. The fear in her heart subsided a lot.

Yi An stepped forward, lit the candle, and said, "We will get married tomorrow afternoon."

He saw that Tao Tao's face was not right, frowned and touched her forehead, and said, "Why is it still so hot?"

Tao Tao didn't answer. Yi An took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from it and fed it to Tao Tao.

When the medicine entered Tao Tao's mouth, it slowly melted. She suddenly felt her mind became much clearer and her body didn't feel so heavy anymore.
