The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

Chapter 410: Capture in one net

Helan Yue let out a strange cry and jumped down from the gate tower.

"thump!"

With a loud bang, it hit Pei Yan squarely, pressing him so hard that his intestines were about to come out. He groaned:

"Officer, you've got the wrong guy! You've got the wrong guy!"

Pei Yan was caught in a huge net. He was so frightened that he was roaring inwardly, but he still pretended to be calm and tried to get away with it.

After all, with his current appearance, even if Xiao Wenshi came, he wouldn't be able to recognize him. What about the garrison of this small town on the border?

"Arrested the wrong person?"

Helan Yue grabbed his collar and lifted him up from the ground, sneering:

"Pei Yan, I'm arresting you!"

"Someone, come here! Tie him up and take him back to me."

When Pei Yan saw Helan Yue calling out his name, his legs went weak.

It shouldn't be like this!

Why is that?

He had clearly seen that the city was safe, so he came in. And why were Helan Yue and the others here?

Until Xie An untied the hemp rope between him and him, and got out of the big net with his dirty hair lifted, he said hello to Helan Yue and the others, walked up to him, and laughed at him:

"Grandpa really wants to go to the outskirts of the Great Wall, but I want to go there openly. Pei Yan, you've been accompanying me on this journey, and I've had a lot of fun. Now that we've arrived, you should take a good rest."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

"Someone come quickly, little grandpa wants to take a bath."

Two men immediately came up and carried him to help him take a bath and change clothes.

Pei Yan was tied up and was furious:

"Xie An, you bastard! You betrayed me!"

It's just funny to say this.

The officers and soldiers in the city gate tower couldn't help laughing. Helan Yue even laughed:

"Betray? Don't you know who you are? Take him away!"

Pei Yan had been walking for so long that he had almost forgotten that Xie An was his hostage. If Xie An hadn't been with him along the way, he would have gone crazy long ago.

After hearing what Helan Yue said, he finally reacted.

"No! No! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Pei Yan was filled with fear. Facing death, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

When Pei Heng and Li Ji appeared in front of him, he collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face:

"Brother! Brother, I was wrong! Please forgive me for father's sake. I was really wrong..."

Pei Heng had no expression on his face.

He had been waiting in the border town for three months, and today he finally closed the net. He pulled away Pei Yan's hand that was holding his clothes and said coldly:

"I'm not your big brother!"

"Brother! Have you forgotten? When I fell down as a child, you carried me home on your back. When dad wanted to beat me, you always protected me. Brother, we are brothers! Brother, I know I was wrong, and I will accept any beating, scolding, or punishment you may give me!"

"Brother, aren't you going to lock me up on the farm? Lock me up! Go ahead! I promise to stay on the farm, work diligently, and not go anywhere. Brother! Really! I swear!"

"let go!"

Pei Heng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he drew out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Pei Yan's hands.

"If you don't let go, I'll chop off your hands!"

Pei Yan was so scared that he quickly let go, but still holding on to the last glimmer of hope in his heart, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Li Ji walked slowly in front of him.

After his rebirth, he thought of many possibilities of meeting Pei Yan again, and even thought of countless ways to torture and retaliate against him. Now that he really saw it, he was extremely jealous.

"long time no see!"

He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.

Pei Yan, who had just been crying and begging for mercy, suddenly fell silent after hearing these four words. When he saw the rage in Li Ji's eyes, he suddenly understood.

"You! You, you are Pei Huan!"

To anyone else, this statement sounded perfectly normal. But to Pei Heng and Li Ji, they immediately understood. Su Li's speculation proved correct; the Pei Yan before them was indeed the reborn Pei Yan.

"Pei Yan, tit for tat! This time, just wait and see how you die!"

Li Ji's face turned pale.

Looking at his former enemy, he wished he could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

But Pei Heng said that the country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. Pei Yan should be escorted to Beijing for trial and let the national laws determine his guilt.

Li Ji suppressed the hatred in his heart and turned to leave.

After seeing Pei Huan, Pei Yan completely collapsed.

He realized that he had no hope of survival.

Pei Heng did not touch him again. He locked his hands and feet with large iron chains as thick as his wrists, locked him in a prison car made of fine steel, and escorted him back to Beijing with his team overnight.

Xie An took a hot bath, changed his clothes, and finally regained some of his demeanor as a young master.

The bath water was changed three times, and each time it came out was pitch black. When the beggar's clothes were shaken off, there was a thick layer of dust on the ground, and there were many fleas.

Despite this, Xie An still asked someone to pack up the beggar's clothes and take them back to Beijing.

"What are you thinking about?"

On the way back to Beijing, Xie An saw Li Ji riding a horse, so he declined the carriage and followed Li Ji on horseback.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, both of them have grown into grown men. Riding on horses, one is handsome and elegant, the other is free and easy. Their tall and straight postures make everyone in the team want to take a few more glances.

Li Ji glanced at Xie An.

He was just as playful and cheerful as he remembered, but also different.

In my memory, Xie An was a flower that grew up in a greenhouse, well protected by everyone. He had never experienced any hardship in his life and had always been arrogant and domineering since he was a child.

So later, after being caught by Pei Yan, he didn't even have a chance to resist and died in Liujing River.

The young man in front of me is graceful and has a spirit like green pines and cypresses. He has experienced wind and rain, and hardships, but he is still not defeated.

"You're fine the way you are."

Li Ji raised his eyebrows.

"???"

Xie An's eyes widened in shock.

Is this still the Huan he knew? He actually praised him!

However, being praised by Li Ji was unexpectedly like this! I felt so light and happy that I felt like I was about to fly into the clouds.

"Haha! Haha! Really? Is that true?"

Come on, speak more! I love to listen!

Just as Xie An pricked up his ears, waiting for praise, Li Ji snorted coldly:

"Be more careful in the future and don't let others worry about you."

"I'm feeding the enemy with my own body!"

Xie An was unconvinced. "If I hadn't left marks for you along the way, would you have been able to find me? If I hadn't winked at you at the city gate, would you have been able to catch Pei Yan? If not..."

He was still quacking when he suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

"What did you say? You said you were worried about me?"

Xie An grabbed Li Ji and demanded an explanation.

Li Ji glanced at him, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and walked forward.

But Xie An clearly saw a trace of tears in his eyes.

After Li Ji returned from Dali, Xie An had clearly sensed his changes. But now, he saw a familiar feeling in Li Ji's eyes again.

He was so happy that he patted his horse's butt and caught up.

"Are you worried about me? Tell me, tell me!"

Li Ji, growing impatient with Xie An's pestering, snorted coldly:

"You just said you were mature, but now you're acting like a child again."

Xie An's point was not here, he immediately smiled.

"You said I was mature! I heard you!"
