Warm medicine emits fragrance

After listening to Fan Liuer's arrangement, Li Qiuping thought about it and felt that it was very feasible, so he asked Chuixue.

"Are you alright?"

Fubuki patted her chest and said, "I can't speak for other things, but I've never failed in a sneak attack. Otherwise, the master wouldn't have assigned me to the lady's side."

Li Qiuping naturally knew how capable Chuixue was. He stood up with his back hunched over. "Then I'll go. I'll give you hand signals later. You can make your move after you see the signals."

Fubuki nodded.

Li Qiuping quietly left.

At this moment, the area around Yanling's carriage was full of people, and soldiers from the entire military camp surrounded it. Li Qiuping's appearance in the crowd did not attract any attention at all.

Yanling was still protesting the injustices he had suffered over the years. He had come with the intention of dragging Yanqiu down with him even if it meant his own death, and he recounted all the grievances he had endured over the years.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Li Qiuping squeezed near the carriage, then raised his hand and gestured to Chuixue.

Chuixue had already aimed at Yanling's hand, and the moment she saw Li Qiuping's gesture, she launched her hidden weapon.

As the hidden weapon flew towards Yan Ling, Li Qiuping rushed forward and swung his sword at one of the men.

Fubuki immediately adjusted her direction, aimed the hidden weapon at another one, and shot it out.

The moment Yanling loosened his grip in pain, Yanqiu reacted and immediately struck out, knocking the dagger from Yanling's hand and breaking free from his grasp.

Everything was proceeding according to Fan Liuer's plan. At this moment, the surrounding soldiers could swarm in and take Yanling.

However, Fan Liuer underestimated Yan Ling's determination. The moment Yan Qiu broke free from his embrace, he became enraged and drew his sword to stab Yan Qiu.

Yanqiu's skills were slightly better than Yanling's. He dodged Yanling's knife and struck at Yanling's head with his backhand.

With that punch, Yan Ling would be crippled if not killed.

However, when he met Yanling's face, Yanqiu hesitated for a moment.

He didn't hate Yanling. The two had a good relationship when they were young. Back then, he loved to follow Yanling around, calling him "brother, brother."

Back then, Yanling wasn't like she is now; she was very patient with him and would stand up for him if he was bullied.

However, as the two grew up, as outsiders speculated about their future identities, and as everyone's desires increased, the brotherhood they had in their youth was gradually forgotten.

In the instant Yanqiu was in a daze, Yanling's knife stabbed him.

He couldn't dodge the knife and was stabbed in the abdomen. If Li Qiuping hadn't pulled him to his side at the critical moment, that knife might have killed him.

This gave the man who was fighting with Li Qiuping an opportunity to draw his sword and stab at Li Qiuping.

As the situation took an unexpected turn, Fan Liuer was extremely anxious, clutching the hem of her dress tightly with both hands.

At this moment, the four of them were locked in a chaotic battle, and Fubuki couldn't accurately aim at her target, making it difficult to make a move.

All of this happened very quickly, so quickly that before the surrounding soldiers could react, the men were already locked in combat.

Everyone snapped out of their daze, and Yan Qi immediately gave the order, and everyone rushed toward the carriage.

Seeing that he had lost his bargaining chip, Yan Ling immediately gave a signal to the remaining guard, and then attacked Li Qiuping himself.

Upon receiving orders, the guards seized Yan Qiu while Li Qiuping was defending against Yan Ling's attack, grabbed him, and leaped off the carriage with him. They then stepped on the heads of the soldiers below the carriage and sprang into the distant woods.

Li Qiuping saw the direction he left in and realized something was wrong.

He tried to follow, but Yan Ling got entangled with him. However, he couldn't bring himself to kill Yan Ling, so he couldn't get away for the time being.

Li Qiuping was only able to escape when Yanling was captured by the surging soldiers.

At this moment, Yan Qi and the others also arrived. Li Qiuping didn't even have time to glance at Li Chenbi before immediately chasing after the direction the guards had left in.

He believed that Li Chenbi had arranged all of this.

Li Chenbi knew whose arrangement it was the moment he saw Li Qiuping make his move. Li Qiuping had been by his side for many years and never acted on his own.

Unless it's Fan Liuer's order.

Li Qiuping was assigned to Fan Liuer's side, and his main task was to protect her. His presence here must mean that Fan Liuer had already hidden herself away.

Thinking of this, Li Chenbi was surprised but also somewhat smug.

Fan Liuer is really starting to look more and more like him.

However, upon seeing Li Qiuping's reaction, his expression changed instantly.

There's only one reason why Li Qiuping was in such a hurry to catch up without his instructions.

The direction in which the guards took Yanqiu away was the direction in which Fan Liuer was hiding.

Without even greeting Yan Qi, Li Chenbi immediately leaped after him.

Yan Qi had been observing Li Chenbi's reaction, and seeing this, he assumed that Li Chenbi was going after Yan Qiu, so he said to the others, "Follow him and make sure to save the Second Young Master."

Qi Weiming immediately stepped forward and led a group of people to catch up.

Yan Ling, who was on the ground, laughed upon hearing this and looked up at Yan Qi. "Father, he is a bodyguard I have trained for ten years. I gave him a death order: if he cannot escape, he shall perish together with Yan Qiu."

Li Chenbi quickly caught up with Li Qiuping, but the guard's lightness skill was so fast that he could no longer be seen.

"Where is Fan Liuer?" Li Chenbi asked Li Qiuping.

Li Qiuping pointed in a direction, "Behind those trees in front."

Li Chenbi was annoyed upon hearing this, "Why didn't you take her even further away!"

Li Qiuping was also annoyed, blaming himself for not considering things thoroughly enough.

Now is not the time to assign blame, so Li Chenbi immediately headed towards the trees in front of him.

The guard was busy running away at the moment and would not normally make a move against Fan Liuer, who was hiding here dressed as a man.

Li Chenbi knew that Fan Liuer was unlikely to be in any danger, but he still couldn't help but worry.

My foot speed increased.

He rushed to the back of the tree, but there was no movement on the other side. The silence only intensified his anxiety. He instinctively held his breath and turned around.

His vision cleared, and the scene before him made him pause.

The first thing he saw was Yan Qiu sitting on the ground with his eyes wide open, followed by Fan Liuer holding a stone in her hand with a look of terror on her face, then the guard lying on the ground unconscious, and Chuixue lying next to the guard with her eyes wide open as well.

His appearance attracted the attention of everyone present. Fan Liuer looked up and saw him. The stone in her hand fell to the ground the next second. She rushed towards him and threw herself into his arms.

Li Chenbi reflexively hugged her and held her tightly. Only when he felt the familiar warmth in his arms did he come to his senses and look down at Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer didn't look at him, but buried her head in his arms, trembling all over, her voice filled with sobs.

"Li Chenbi, I killed someone..."

She was terrified; it was her first time killing someone. When she came to her senses, she felt a lingering fear.
