The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Then, a cold voice sounded in Qiao Xi's ears: "Haven't you been looking for me? How come I showed up and you don't know who I am?"

Qiao Xi seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before. It sounded very familiar, but she couldn't remember where.

But the man's next words made Qiao Xi's heart sink instantly.

"I originally thought you were just an ordinary farming family, so I felt relieved and asked my son Zhou'er to take the four of you down the mountain.

I never thought I, Nie Shufeng, would make a fatal mistake this time. I should have asked Zhou'er to bring more men, and I should have taught him to be more ruthless.

This way my Zhou'er won't fall into the hands of you two bastards."

Nie Shufeng said it almost with gritted teeth.

"If you're smart, you'd better keep quiet, otherwise I can't guarantee that the knife in my hand won't accidentally cut your beautiful little face."

As he spoke, Nie Shufeng moved his knife closer to Qiao Xi's neck.

Qiao Xi felt the murderous intent from the person behind her, and her heart skipped a beat. She thought her life might be in danger today. But Xu Yi, the man above, and so many soldiers were surrounding the mountain. How did he get home without anyone noticing?

Afraid that the person behind her might get excited and kill her, Qiao Qian's eyes changed. She laughed dryly and pretended to be a weak girl. "I guess you are Patriarch Nie. Did you misunderstand something?"

I am a weak woman, so how can I do anything to Master Nie? Besides, I don't quite understand what you mean.

What you just meant was that Master Nie was captured by me and my brother-in-law? Is there some misunderstanding here?

Hearing what the woman in front of him said, Nie Shufeng sneered and brought the knife closer: "Misunderstanding? I didn't expect you to be such a sharp-tongued woman. Do you think I, Nie Shufeng, am blind?

Just now, I saw clearly that the person standing with Shen Qingyan was your uncle Xu Yi. My son looked at him with eyes that seemed to want to tear him into pieces.

My son wouldn't look at him like that, wouldn't you say?

Although the last sentence was a question to Qiao Xi, it was used in an affirmative tone.

Qiao Xi really didn't know what to say now, but she knew that she had to say something, or do something, to delay time so that Xu Yi could notice that something was wrong here.

She thought for a moment, then raised her hands, hoping to get Nie Shufeng to relax his guard: "Well, Patriarch Nie, I think you really misunderstood.

I don't even know Master Nie, and we have no grudges against each other, so how could I possibly harm him? Besides, Master Nie is in that master's hands now, so it's obvious that he was captured by that master.

The person you should deal with is that gentleman. I am truly innocent."

As she spoke, Qiao Xi made her voice sound a little tearful, so that people could easily hear her grievance.

Unexpectedly, Nie Shufeng didn't fall for her at all.

Nie Shufeng looked at the back of the woman in front of him and found for the first time that a woman could be so noisy.

He frowned and wanted to knock the woman in front of him unconscious, but thinking that knocking her unconscious might affect his actions, he had to endure it with a gloomy face.

But the words that came out of his mouth were filled with disgust: "Would you rather keep your mouth shut or lose your tongue?"

Qiao Xi, who wanted to say something more, immediately chose to shut up.

Just kidding, she still knows the difference between shutting up once and shutting up forever.

The noise in his ears finally quieted down, and Nie Shufeng's frown finally relaxed a little.

"go!"

Nie Shuofeng spat out a word coldly, then pushed Qiao Xi out of the yard.

After taking just two steps, Qiao Xi roughly guessed what Nie Shufeng behind her wanted to do.

But she didn't dare to say anything, because she was also under someone else's control. She hoped Xu Yi and that adult would take her life seriously.

In fact, she still had some worries in her heart: Would Xu Yi take this opportunity to avenge his mother openly?

"Open the courtyard door!"

Nie Shufeng ordered in a cold voice.

Qiao Xi had no choice but to do as she was told.

After seeing the situation outside the courtyard, Qiao Xi immediately wanted to curse.

Who could tell her how it was that there were so many people here just now and the place was deserted in such a short time?

There is an "ancestor" behind her, what should she do?

Nie Shufeng was right behind her, so he naturally saw what was happening. However, he had no intention of taking the opportunity to leave, but instead pushed Qiao Xi forward.

The villagers seemed to have noticed the soldiers' departure, and a few of them bravely opened the door slightly.

What I don't want to see is Qiao Xi with a knife at her neck.

Like a turtle, he was so scared that he quickly retracted his head.

Seeing those people doing nothing to help, Qiao Xi rolled her eyes and cursed inwardly, but that was all she could do.

Feeling the knife getting closer to her neck, Qiao Xi quickly gathered her thoughts, swallowed nervously, and racked her brains to think of how to escape from the knife.

"Well, Master Nie, what do you think we should do now?" She pointed at the wheel tracks on the ground. "Look, they seem to have gone to the back mountain. How about you take this opportunity to run and hide somewhere else?"

No, Nie Shufeng didn't want to pay any attention to her at all. He just pushed her and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Let's go!"

Well, it seems that Nie Shufeng already has his own plans.

I'm afraid she, the hostage, won't be able to escape.

Qiao Xi sighed and had to obey Nie Shufeng's instructions and continue moving forward.

The direction they were heading was exactly the back mountain of Xuliu Village.

"Sir, look!"

Shen Qingyan and Xu Yi were discussing dividing the soldiers into several teams to go up the mountain when they were suddenly pulled by Kuzhu's sleeve.

Kuzhu has been with him for many years and still has some sense of observation.

If he could interrupt me, something must have happened.

Shen Qingyan looked up at him, then looked in the direction of his finger.

Xu Yi was beside him, so he naturally looked over as well.

When they saw the two figures not far away, they were both stunned. Then Xu Yi's face turned cold and he took a few steps forward.

Kuzhu also took a few steps, but protected Shen Qingyan behind him.

When the soldiers who were about to go up the mountain saw this situation, they all became alert without any orders.

"Dad, Dad, please save me. Dad, you must save Zhou'er."

Seeing everyone's big reaction, Nie Guizhou, who was trapped in the prison van, noticed it and looked in the direction of everyone's gaze.

When he saw who was coming, he excitedly grabbed the railings of the prison van with both hands and shouted for help to Nie Shufeng who was not far away.

"Nie Shufeng, everything your Nie family has is gone. I have already reported your crimes to the imperial court. There are arrest warrants everywhere. You have nowhere to escape. Do not resist any longer."

As soon as Shen Qingyan said this, Xu Yi turned to look at him and shook his head at him: "Sir Shen, my sister-in-law is in his hands now, don't provoke him for now."
