Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

On the way from the General's Mansion to the Ministry of Justice, a barrage of sharp arrows suddenly pierced the night sky from all directions.

With a clang, a sharp arrow was embedded in the front of Xia Xizhi's carriage.

Xia Xizhi's eyes darkened as she sat in the carriage. Just as she had suspected, someone had come to break them out of prison.

There were no assassins on this path in the original series, but the plot keeps changing. She wondered if someone had been reborn, and it seems that it really is...

Xia Xizhi immediately thought of the book's male protagonist, Meng Zixu...

He was most likely the one who assassinated her the first two times.

What puzzled her was that, since he had already been reborn, why didn't he destroy the letters under Gao's bed beforehand to solve the problem once and for all, instead of waiting until now to break him out of prison...?

That's a bit strange.

Thinking of the woman wearing a veil outside the side gate of the General's Mansion when she led the Imperial Guards to search the mansion... Xia Xizhi narrowed her eyes slightly.

The Night Shadows and Cold Stars on either side of the carriage drew their swords simultaneously the moment they saw the arrows, blocking the overwhelming barrage of black arrows.

At the same time, a large group of assassins dressed in black descended from the rooftops on both sides, and were about to surround the group.

The clatter of hooves echoed as a black-armored man in a silver mask and a high ponytail, exuding an aura of menace, gripped a red-tasseled spear, and roared as he spurred his horse forward.

Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed!

This person's aura clearly indicated that he was a seasoned veteran who could take on a hundred opponents single-handedly, and Night Shadow's expression changed.

We can't leave the adults here; we have to break out.

"Driver! Take the master and rush ahead to hide! Hanxing! Come with me to escort the master and clean up the mess!"

As he spoke, Nightshade lashed the horse's rump with his whip. The horse neighed loudly and charged forward, breaking through the obstacles.

The driver was jolted backward and nearly fell off; after yelling "Damn it!", he clung tightly to the reins.

"drive!"

So no one paid any attention to Xia Xizhi's carriage.

These assassins were all highly trained experts. Their first mission was to rescue the prisoners, so no one tried to stop the crazed carriage. Soon, the dark night was filled with the sounds of fighting.

The carriage sped through the street and arrived at Xia Xizhi's house.

"Driver, stop the carriage. It's not safe to drive on the street. Come with me to my house to take refuge."

"Xu~"

The coachman was terrified the whole way. After Xia Xizhi opened the door, he quickly drove the horse to stop the carriage in the courtyard, turned around and closed the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his face.

Good heavens, those swarms of assassins were terrifying!

“Girl, not son, why did you suddenly come back so late at night? Didn’t you go with His Majesty to suppress the bandits? Did you fail and get chased down?” Xia Qi’an heard the commotion and came out while putting on her clothes. When she saw the coachman, she quickly changed her address.

Xia Xizhi: "It's a long story, I can't explain it in a short time. Take the coachman to your room, he will tell you. I have an upset stomach, I'm going to the outhouse, don't worry about me."

"Oh, okay, Father will take him inside now." Xia Qian was very perceptive and could tell that she still had things to do, so he quickly pulled the coachman into his room.

After the driver was led into the room, Xia Xizhi's eyes darkened, and he turned around and climbed over the wall.

After walking a short distance, I lightly leaped onto the roof and traversed the rooftops.

If she wasn't mistaken, the man in the black armor and mask just now should be the male protagonist, Meng Zixu.

Without Hanxing and Yeying, he would definitely have succeeded in breaking into the prison with just the Imperial Guards. But with two experts like Hanxing and Yeying present, the outcome was uncertain.

She absolutely cannot let him succeed in breaking into the prison tonight; there's still a part of the plot that requires her to leave. If a prison break is to be carried out, it can only be done after she has thoroughly convicted the Meng family and been granted a marquisate.

We absolutely cannot let him die here, otherwise the rest of the plot will be impossible to develop.

.......

When Xia Xizhi returned from the rooftop.

Both the men in black and the Imperial Guards suffered heavy casualties. The commander of the Imperial Guards was deathly pale. A long spear had pierced his shoulder and was stuck in the ground. He gritted his teeth and tried to break free.

Both Han Xing and Han Xing had some wounds on their bodies, and neither of them was in good condition.

Meng Zixu's armor was stained with blood, and blood dripped from the stray hairs beside his mask. His horse had fallen to the ground, and his spear was gone. He was holding an axe, his murderous aura palpable, and he had completely lost his reason.

While the injured Hanxing and Yeying were being held back by several men in black, Meng Zixu finally found an opportunity. He kicked aside the imperial guards in front of him, rushed to the prison cart, and cleaved the iron lock with an axe.

The Meng family members inside the prison van were terrified when they saw the scene outside.

As Meng Zixu frantically unlocked the chain, Gao Yu noticed the pair of eyes beneath the silver mask before him, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression suddenly changed.

He slapped Meng Zixu across the face and grabbed the chains to prevent him from untying them.

"You are crazy!"

"Get out of here and find your father! You've saved someone, and then what? Where are you going?! To hide forever?!"

"If you do this, our Meng family will be in even more trouble! Your mother is upright and honest, and I'm not afraid of being investigated! Your father has made great contributions in battle, and His Majesty won't do anything to the Meng family because of a mere maid. Get out of here immediately!"

Gao Yu lowered his voice and angrily rebuked him in front of him.

Meng Zixu paused, then gave a sarcastic smile.

"Mother, your upright conduct is useless! Your illustrious military achievements are laughable! The treacherous ministers and the emperor want to exterminate our Meng family! If you don't leave now, you will all die! Do you know that I have already sent people to destroy all the letters under your bed beforehand? So where did the letters that were found during the search come from?! Do you think those letters are just ordinary family matters?!"

"What did you say?!"

Gao Yu's pupils suddenly dilated, and his hand fell with a thud.

So, the evidence found was all arranged by that treacherous official...

In those few short exchanges, Meng Zixu was caught off guard when a royal guard with a knife charged at him from behind.

"Son, be careful!" Gao Yu shouted in fright.

In the blink of an eye, Meng Zixu turned around, but before he could dodge, the blade was already at his head.

Just then, a short, exquisitely crafted sleeve dart flew over, deflecting the knife with a snap. The knife grazed Meng Zixu's face, only slightly breaking the skin on the tip of his ear.

Just then, a large number of troops arrived to provide support.

"Hurry up! If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave! As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood!" Gao Yu said urgently, reaching out his hands to push him aside from the prison cart.

Meng Zixu gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

"withdraw!"

Before retreating, Meng Zixu glanced at the hidden arrow on the ground, picked it up, and put it inside his clothes. He then looked in the direction of the arrow at a rooftop and squinted slightly.

The sky was already slightly bright before sunrise, and upon seeing the face of someone lying on the roof, his pupils suddenly contracted...

How could it be him? !

"Grab him! He's the leader of this group of assassins!"

Meng Zixu pursed his thin lips, abruptly turned around, and quickly disappeared into the night...

Xia Xizhi, who was lying on the roof, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him escape.

(Thinking to myself) It's true what they say, villains die from talking too much...

Even at this point, he's still chatting away!

I almost killed his conversation.

Thanks to her.

She really does good deeds anonymously.
