Li Qingnuo had already closed his eyes, waiting for the pain and death to come, but he heard a familiar and anxious voice.

He looked to the side in disbelief, just in time to see Yue Ting taking Li Yu to the ground steadily, as if descended from a god.

elder brother……

The uneasiness and fear accumulated in my heart just now were crushed by sunshine and hope in an instant.

But before he stretched out his hand towards the man, his hair was pulled tightly again, and a sharp dagger was pressed against his throat.

Seeing a group of people fall into his cottage from the top, Ji Yuanze started to fight with his subordinates without saying a word. He quickly drew out his dagger and put it at Li Qingnuo's throat, shouting.

"Don't move!"

Li Yu wanted to pounce on Li Qingnuo, but was grabbed by Yue Ting beside him, and stopped by the scolding, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth, "Let him go!"

"Who are you?" Seeing Li Yu's worried expression, Ji Yuanze realized that he had a bargaining chip in his hand, and his tone became arrogant, "Bringing so many people into our cottage, how dare you be fat?"

Li Yu stared at the man with an arrogant smile in front of him, searching in his mind.

This guy should be the leader of the bandits in the original work, Ji Yuanze.

"Brother..." Li Qingnuo called weakly.

Seeing Li Qingnuo's torn clothes and bloody mouth, Li Yu was so angry that he clenched his fists and trembled all over.

—he thought he had missed it.

"I'm his brother."

Li Yu shook off Yue Ting's hand, took a step forward, held back his anger, "let him go."

You say let it go?Seeing the chaotic situation around him, Ji Yuanze sneered, now that he is at a disadvantage, if he has no bargaining chips in his hands, he will definitely be slaughtered.

Since the group of shadows and the guards who just appeared wanted the same person, then... I still have a chance!

The shadows dealt with the bandits from the cellar, and the moment they rushed out, they saw the guards jumping down from the top.

Following the voice, I saw the "Young Master" who had disappeared for a long time.

The shadow leader immediately remembered Queen Li's entrustment, and hurriedly told other shadows.

"The plan has changed. Regardless of the cost, kill the 'Young Master' and bring the head back."

After receiving the order, all the shadows no longer entangled with the remaining bandits, but rushed towards Li Yu.

Seeing that the shadows changed their attack targets, Yueting took a step forward to block Li Yu, and the rest of the guards also retreated to protect them.

Seeing that the shadows changed their targets, Ji Yuanze didn't even pay attention to Li Qingnuo who was being held up by him, so he couldn't help pulling Li Qingnuo back.

There was such a huge disparity in the number of people that it was impossible for him to escape unscathed.

Li Yu didn't panic when he saw this, but rather, his anger was stronger than panic.

Now he can't wait to hammer the man in front of him to the ground, but he still has to pretend to be calm and negotiating.

"I think you have already seen that these shadows care more about me than the people in your hands. In other words, the hostages in your hands are not important to them."

"Now your companions are basically eliminated. If you are alone, you can't beat them, and naturally you can't beat us."

Hearing Li Yu's calm words, Ji Yuanze frowned, "So, what do you want to do?"

Li Yu smiled, "You can cooperate with me, I will help you solve this group of people, and you, give me this person in your hand."

"Hmph, even if I don't tell you about these people, you still have to deal with them, don't you?" Ji Yuanze saw through Li Yu's thoughts at a glance, "Why should I listen to you?"

"But you have no choice."

Li Yu took a deep breath, and his tone was more sinister than ever.

"Ji Yuanze, I warn you, if you dare to touch him, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go."

The moment Li Yu called out his name, Ji Yuanze felt a little strange.

Even the trash who used to live in the village didn't know his name, but this person in front of him actually knew his name.

This young man who seemed to have no intentions actually spoke to him in such a menacing tone.

Ji Yuanze's hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, swallowed a little in his thirsty throat, and then pretended to say.

"Okay, you get rid of all those people first."

Yueting looked at Li Yu, and after receiving the signal, he ordered the guards to do it.

The shadows had a small number of people. First, they lost their hands in the ambush, smoked some smoke in the cellar, entangled with the bandits, and lost their hands again. They were no match for the guards in front of them at all.

He resisted to the death, but in the end he was no match, he was caught by the hands and feet, and he bit the poison between his teeth, and he died after being poisoned.

Not a single shadow lived, and likewise shadows beckon to death, and not a single bandit lived in this struggle.

As for Li Yu's people, they were injured at best, and in terms of numbers, they still crushed Ji Yuanze, who was only one person.

Seeing this situation, Ji Yuanze knew that he was at a disadvantage, but luckily he still had hostages in his hands.

Seeing all the shadows fell to the ground, Li Yu turned his attention to Ji Yuanze and Li Qingnuo in his hands.

"Let him go."

How could Ji Yuanze let him go, he is not stupid, if he let him go easily, firstly, he would not be able to swallow his breath, and secondly, he would not be able to escape completely.

"Don't come here, I'll kill your baby brother if you come here again."

Li Yu didn't seem surprised to see him change his mind.

——Originally, this guy was a lunatic who did all kinds of evil in the original work.

"If you don't move him, I won't move you. You should think about it."

"Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child? Why should I trust you? Now let all your people tie themselves up and prepare a horse for me!"

Seeing that the guards did not move, Ji Yuanze pressed Li Qingnuo's neck firmly and threatened, "Did you hear that!"

Seeing that guy grabbing Li Qingnuo frantically, the dagger sticking to the cut skin and oozing bright red blood, it was extremely coquettish under the moonlight.

Li Qingnuo was pulled, unable to resist due to the effect of the medicine, he could only look at Li Yu in a daze.

elder brother……

Li Yu stopped the guards and Yue Ting who were about to step forward, and clenched his palms, "Okay—"

In order to gain Ji Yuanze's trust, Li Yu tied up all the guards, even Yueting was no exception.

Noticing Yue Ting's meaningful eyes, Li Yu tied his rope loose on purpose.

"It's alright, there are horses outside, you can pack it up and escape."

"Okay, I'll take him away first, and release him when none of you catch up." Ji Yuanze roughly pulled Li Qingnuo back.

"How can I believe that you will let him go?" Seeing that he had no intention of letting Li Qingnuo go, Li Yu asked back, moving forward cautiously.

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you still want him to live!"

Li Yu knew that if he was allowed to leave at this time, Li Qingnuo would definitely be in danger, and he would definitely not be able to trust this person.

"Wait!" He could only stop the lunatic, "I'll take his place as your hostage, you let him go!"

Li Qingnuo was startled, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he looked at Li Yu in disbelief.

It was like going back to the street that day, and seeing his gentle smile when I turned around.

"Okay—brother will protect you."

Tears filled his eyes in an instant.

"Huh?" I didn't expect Li Yu to propose such an exchange, "Are you crazy? Why should I change it?"

"These people are all mine. If you want to get out, it's better to use me as a hostage than my brother."

As he spoke, Li Yu lifted up his long robe, revealing his bandaged right hand, "Don't worry, I've broken my hand and I can't resist."

Under Ji Yuanze's restraint, Li Qingnuo shook his head slightly, and the dagger cut his throat slightly again.

Sensing that the person in his arms was resisting, Ji Yuanze pulled his hair tightly again, and stopped, "Don't move!"

"Qing Nuo!"

Li Qingnuo looked at Li Yu, tears streaming down his face.

"No way... Brother... I have no choice but to watch you die in front of me..."

I clearly said I would protect you.

I practice martial arts in the hope that one day I will be able to protect the people I want to protect, including you...

If that's the case, I'd rather—

Thinking of this, Li Qingnuo didn't know where the strength came from, and viciously bit Ji Yuanze's wrist.

Ji Yuanze let out a pain, and was about to turn his hand to tie Li Qingnuo's thigh, when he saw Li Yu rushing towards him.

Li Qingnuo threw off Ji Yuanze's restraint desperately, and walked towards Li Yuhu.

Ji Yuanze threw out the dagger, stabbed at Li Qingnuo, turned around quickly and wanted to escape, but was hit by a hidden weapon flying from behind and fell to his knees.

Yue Ting maintained the movement of swinging the concealed weapon, pulled the rope off his body, and rushed towards Ji Yuanze who fell to the ground, and the next blow killed him.

Before he had time to look back at Li Yu and Li Qingnuo's situation, he heard a cry.

"Qing Nuo, Qing Nuo!"

Already lost the ability to organize words, only unbelievable shock remained.

The dagger was thrown out in a panic. Although the miss was not fatal enough, it was still firmly stuck in Li Qingnuo's back, and blood gushed out.

Li Yu's hand holding him was already covered with sticky blood.

"Young master, are you alright?" Yue Ting rushed forward to check Li Yu's condition.

Li Yu was fine, but Li Qingnuo was stabbed in the back by the thrown dagger and bled profusely.

Because of the drug, Li Qingnuo didn't feel too much pain, and said something with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the dagger missed, Yue Ting breathed a sigh of relief.

"The injury is okay, it didn't hurt the vitals. Please hand over the little general to me. I will take him back for treatment first."

But Li Yu couldn't listen at all. Seeing Li Qingnuo who was muttering something in his arms, tears couldn't stop falling down.

Seeing this, in order not to delay the treatment, Yue Ting quickly grabbed Li Yu's left shoulder, "Young master, this is not a fatal injury! It can be saved! Don't worry! Give me the little general!"

Only then did Li Yu listen to it, and hurriedly handed Li Qingnuo to Yueting at a loss.

After Yue Ting put Li Qingnuo on his back and told the other guards to escort Li Yu, he quickly flew up and rushed back to the mansion.

Seeing Yueting fly away with Li Qingnuo on his back, Li Yu regained his composure, looked at his blood-stained palm tremblingly, and was out of breath from crying.

It would be nice if the person who got hurt was yourself.

——I clearly said that I would protect you, but in the end...

This feeling of panic and unbearable fear lingered in my heart for a long time and was difficult to dissipate.

He really hopes that Shen Haoran can be by his side at this time.
