I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 139 Attacked
After waiting for a long time, Fu Yu finally came back with the "lantern" with only the handle left.

Xie Fei was dumbfounded, "Where's your light?"

Fu Yu frowned and said, "Didn't it get stepped on by someone?"

In order to watch the acrobatics, she turned off the lights and put them on the ground, then ran to the stage to interact with people. Unexpectedly, when she returned, the lights had been stepped on and only the handle was left.

Xie Fei asked again, "What about my sugar man?"

Fu Yu said loudly: "I didn't forget to bring this for the girl!"

She was carrying an oil-paper bag, which contained roast duck, sugar figurines, candied haws, and maltose lamps. Unfortunately, they were all scattered and mixed together, with a mixture of sugar and oil, which Xie Fei really disliked.

"You should eat it yourself."

"It's not like it's inedible, so don't be so fussy." Fu Yu took a string of candied haws and ate happily.

As the wind and snow grew stronger, many people could not stand the severe cold and were rushing back.

Xie Fei thought that Xiang Xiaoniang and the others should also go back, so he asked Fu Yu to go back with him.

The master and servant walked in front, and Yuan San lagged behind by more than ten steps. Even if they were seen by people in the mansion, they would not make the connection.

Fu Yu held a candied haws in her mouth and said, "Oh, by the way, young lady, I heard someone say that the reason why there is unrest in the capital and the imperial guards have stepped up patrols is because an enemy spy has been exposed and the court is looking for him everywhere."

Xie Fei frowned and said, "Enemy spy? When did it happen?"

"I heard that they had been hiding in Dajing for a long time, but were exposed at the end of the year. A group of them were arrested, and a few others were hidden. I don't know if they have escaped from the capital. Not only in the city, but also at the city gates, all the people entering and leaving have to be carefully checked."

Xie Fei thought to himself that it was no wonder. When he came back from Baiyun Temple, the guards at the city gate checked every car. Even if it was the carriage of the ladies of noble families, they would lift the curtains and search carefully.

However, at that time, in order to avoid alerting the enemy and causing panic among the people, they only said it was a routine inspection and did not mention the reason.

Fu Yu also said that the enemy's spy was injured, and if he was still in the capital, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Xie Fei quickened his pace, "There are jackals inside and tigers and leopards outside. This year has been really exciting."

She took big steps, and Fu Yu stumbled after her. "Why are you walking so fast? We are not so unlucky. It is impossible for us to run into each other. Besides, even if we run into each other, don't we still have Third Brother Yuan?"

Xie Fei said: "Wasn't the last horse banditry also a 'coincidence'?"

Even with Yuan San around, we can't be careless.

Because Fu Yu played too late and it was close to curfew, there were few people on these remote streets. The shops on both sides had no business and were closed. For a while, only the sound of wind and snow could be heard.

Xie Fei put on his cloak and hood, walked through the flying snow, and his eyes met for a moment with the person coming towards him.

The man was wearing a black cloak that covered his head and face, and he was running quickly in the dark.

The moment they passed each other, Xie Fei smelled an extremely strong smell of blood coming from the other person.

Fu Yu was also very sensitive to the smell of blood and subconsciously glanced at Xie Fei.

Xie Fei forced himself to remain calm, held Fu Yu's hand tightly, and walked forward without looking back.

On the eaves of the shops on both sides, several people in night clothes passed by lightly and swiftly, keeping up with the pace of the man in black robe.

The man in black robe stopped, then suddenly turned around and looked at Xie Fei's quickly leaving figure.

The men in black landed on the ground and knelt in front of the man in black robe.

"Little Lord?"

The black-robed man had a cold face and a gloomy expression. He whispered, "That's Pei's concubine. She's a good hostage."

It was not easy to leave the city, but if they could hold Pei's wife hostage, they might have a better chance of survival. The men in black immediately chased after Xie Fei with swords in hand after receiving the order.

Xie Fei walked very fast at first and then almost jogged, with cold sweat on his forehead.

With just a quick glance, she recognized the man in black robe. He seemed to be the young man she had seen in the tent of Lady Ningguo when she was watching the snow at Cui Lake before.

I have also seen him walking with Pei Honglang in the Pei family's main house, on the upper floor of Baoshan Tower.

Such a person is actually a spy planted by the enemy country?

Fu Yu noticed that Xie Fei's palms were wet. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

The two of them turned around at the same time and saw that the black-clothed man's sword was heading straight for Fu Yu's throat.

At the critical moment, Xie Fei only saw a purple figure dancing in front of him, the man in black was kicked into the air, and the sharp sword flashing with cold light fell into the hands of the person in front of him.

Yuan San stood in front of the two men, waving his sword gracefully and casually, his long hair flying wildly.

"Go on and return home, pretend nothing happened, and don't mention it to anyone."

Xie Fei helped the frightened Fu Yu up, and seeing more men in black surrounding him, he asked in a trembling voice, "Don't you need help?"

Yuan San tilted his head slightly, and the smile beneath the mask was as bright as the moon and as majestic as mountains.

"Girl, do you think I can't even handle these little minions?"

Xie Fei gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go back home and wait for you."

Yuan San smiled and said, "In half an hour at most, the girl will definitely see me."

Xie Fei didn't dare to look back and fled quickly with Fu Yu.

Fu Yu was young after all, and was frightened and scared, and kept looking back.

But the wind and snow were too strong, and Yuan San's tall and slender figure was instantly swallowed up by the bleak night.

"Girl, are we just abandoning Third Brother Yuan like this?"

Xie Fei said firmly: "You and I are just stupid geese, unable to dodge swords and knives. Staying there will only cause trouble for him."

Furthermore, judging from the other party's intentions, they probably want to kill Fu Yu first and then take her hostage. The best way for her is to stay away from him.

Amid the whistling snow, the black-clad men’s attack was extremely fierce.

This group of people were well-trained. Not only were they skilled in swordsmanship, but they also cooperated perfectly and could use methods evolved from military formations to encircle and launch surprise attacks. However, they were unable to do anything to Yuan San.

Yuan San was calm and composed, swinging the sword in his hand like a dragon. Blood spurted out as the cold light flashed. Apart from sealing the throat with one sword, there was no other unnecessary movement.

Such a brazen yet relaxed posture made the men in black feel alarmed and their attacks became more ferocious.

Seeing that the situation was not good, a man in black tried to chase Xie Fei and hold him hostage, but before he could take three steps, he was stabbed in the heart by a dagger thrown at him with a strong wind.

A man jumped down from the eaves and tried to attack from behind, but Yuan San turned his wrist and no one could see what was happening. There was only a flash of cold light, and the man's throat had been pierced, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

The snow was dyed red with blood, but Yuan San didn't care. He used the cleanest and most efficient killing moves to complete a one-sided massacre.

Outside the encirclement, the man in black robe looked shocked and retreated uncontrollably.

Who in the capital has such ability?
There were only one or two men in black left, and seeing that they could not stop Yuan San, one of them turned back and shouted, "Young Master, hurry up, hurry up--"

Before he could finish his words, the blade passed across his neck. Blood gushed out from his neck and even his head was blown off by the instantaneous impact.
