In the ancient city, heavy rain poured down, extinguishing the fire that was soaring into the sky. Under the heavy rain, Zhi Ming appeared, wearing plain white clothes, not stained by a speck of dust.
"Stop crying."
Ning Chen raised his hand to wipe away the tears on the face of the woman in front of him, and said softly.
Xia He was slightly stunned, looking at the strange man in front of him. For some reason, he couldn't think of any resistance in his heart.
Not far away, a young man in a robe came to his senses and said angrily, "Catch this man to me."
"Yes!"
The five boys took the order and immediately stepped forward to arrest the man.
"Evil masters and vicious slaves, murderers and arsonists, are unpardonable and should be punished."
Ning Chen turned around, his eyes gradually became colder, his body moved, and his clean fists and kicks directly broke the pulse of six people.
Fear and unwillingness, the moment the six people fell down, their eyes were full of shock.
On the side, Xia He looked trembling, looked at the man next to him in disbelief, and said, "Did you kill them?"
"Are you scared?" Ning Chen turned around and said softly.
Xia He shook his head slightly and said, "No."
Ning Chen showed a gentle smile on his face, looked at the small courtyard burned to ashes in front of him, and said, "Is there anything you miss here?"
Xia He was silent, stepped forward, and knelt down.
"My daughter is unfilial."
Xia He murmured softly, tears falling from his eyes again, a huge change occurred overnight, and his heart was filled with pain.
Behind, Ning Chen stood quietly, waiting silently.
After a while, Xia He stood up, looked back at the man in plain clothes in front of him, and said, "What do you call the young master?"
"Ning Chen." Ning Chen responded softly.
"Little girl Xia He, thank you Young Master Ning for your help." Xia He knelt down and said respectfully.
Ning Chen stepped forward, directly helped the woman up, and said with a gentle expression, "You never need to say thank you to me."
Close at hand, Xia He stared at the man in front of him and said, "Young Master Ning, have we met before?"
Why, she always felt that the person in front of her looked familiar, as if she had seen him a long time ago.
"I've seen it."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "A long, long time ago."
After thousands of years, he finally found her.
"I don't remember."
Xia He said with a look of shame on his face.
"It doesn't matter, what happened in the past is in the past."
Ning Chen said softly, "Leave here first, the officers and soldiers will be here soon."
"Yeah."
Xia He nodded and responded obediently.
Ning Chen smiled and left with the woman beside him.
Not far away, in front of an inn, two people came over. Ning Chen asked for two adjacent guest rooms, and then took Xia He upstairs.
"Go in and change your clothes, be careful not to catch the cold wind."
Ning Chen warned Xia He before sending him to the room.
"Same, Master."
Xia He nodded, responded lightly, and then returned to his room silently.
Ning Chen stood quietly for a moment, then turned and returned to the room.
Adjacent guest rooms connect two similar hearts. After Xia He changed out of his wet clothes, he sat on the bed, stunned.
The drastic change overnight almost caused this strong woman to collapse. If Ning Chen had not appeared in time, the consequences would have been even more unpredictable.
Tears fell one by one and wet the quilt. Xia He buried his head on his knees and sobbed softly.
In the adjacent room, Ning Chen was sitting at the table, listening to the low crying in the next room, and sighed softly in his heart.
The pain of bereavement cannot be erased so easily. The only way is to wait for time to slowly heal the pain in this girl's heart.
In this life, she may no longer be a princess, but has become much weaker. After tearing off the outer strong coat, she is so fragile that it makes people feel heartbroken.
In the city, after a fire broke out, all officers and soldiers were dispatched to blockade the whole city.
In front of the small courtyard that was burned to ashes by the fire, an old figure looked tremblingly at the six people in a pool of blood in front of him, and knelt down helplessly.
On the side, a middle-aged man in court clothes looked gloomy and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely help you catch the murderer."
He knows what kind of energy the old man around him has in this Great Kang Dynasty. He must catch the murderer as soon as possible and give this old man an explanation.
The dark night passed, day came, and the heavy rain gradually stopped.
In the city inn, when the sun rises, Ning Chen opens the door of the room, and the door of the adjacent guest room also opens at the same time.
Xia He looked obviously startled when he saw this.
"Are you hungry? Come downstairs and have something to eat?" Ning Chen said with a gentle smile.
"Yeah."
Xia He nodded slightly.
Ning Chen walked in front, heading downstairs.
From behind, Xia He followed quietly, his thoughts in his heart were chaotic and it was difficult to calm down.
On the first floor, Ning Chen suddenly stopped and smiled.
"Ah!"
Behind him, Xia He didn't expect the former to stop suddenly and bump into it, and couldn't help but exclaimed softly.
Ning Chen turned around, supported the unsteady girl in front of her, and said with a smile, "Does it hurt?"
Seeing the smile on the former's face, Xia He realized that the man in front of him did it on purpose. His eyes turned red, but he held back tears and did not shed them.
"Don't cry."
Ning Chen stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the eyes of the girl in front of him, and said gently, "I'm just kidding you, such a pretty little face can't be depressed all day long, it will become ugly."
On the first floor, many people looked here, and when they saw Xia He's pear-shaped face clearly, they all became slightly distracted.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Xia He immediately panicked and subconsciously covered his face.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
Ning Chen reached out and pulled down Xia He's arm, and said with a smile, "Eat first."
At the table nearby, Ning Chen took Xia He to sit down and simply ordered some light meals.
The food came quickly, and in full view of everyone, Xia He ate the food restlessly, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Ning Chen smiled, took some green vegetables to the girl beside him, and said, "Eat more."
"I can just eat it myself"
Xia He lowered his head and whispered.
Ning Chen Hearing this, the smile on his face became even brighter. This girl was actually very shy.
Ning Chen barely took a bite of a simple meal. He kept bringing food to Xia He with a smile on his face, gentle and unyielding.
"I can't eat any more."
After a long time, Xia He put down the dishes and said softly.
"Are you full?" Ning Chen asked.
"Yeah." Xia He nodded and responded as quietly as a mosquito.
"Now that we're full, let's go." Ning Chen suggested.
"Where to go?" Xia He looked up and asked.
"Do you have a place you want to go?" Ning Chen smiled.
Xia He raised his head, thought about it, shook his head slightly, and said, "No."
"Then just follow me first, and then I'll follow you after you think of where you want to go, okay?" Ning Chen asked.
"Yeah."
Xia He responded in a low voice.
Ning Chen chuckled and said, "Xia He?"
"Huh?" Xia He looked up, looking puzzled.
"I will protect you from now on."
Ning Chen said with an undeniable determination in his smile.
Xia He was startled, his eyes turned red again, and he quickly lowered his head.
"Come here, surround us!"
At this moment, groups of officers and soldiers arrived outside the inn and surrounded the entire inn.
Among the officers and soldiers, a middle-aged man in court uniform walked out, looked at the two people in the inn, and said coldly, "Arrest them, and if there is resistance, shoot them without mercy!"
"Yes!"
Behind them, groups of officers and soldiers took orders and immediately rushed to the inn ahead.
Inside the inn, Xia He saw the groups of officers and soldiers rushing in. His face looked anxious and he said, "Sir, please leave quickly."
Ning Chen stood up with a cold look on his face. These guys are really disappointing.
He has been waiting for a thousand years, not for these annoying flies.
"Xia He."
Ning Chen reached out and grabbed the wrist of the woman next to him, and said softly, "Do you see the back door over there? I'll count to three, and we'll run towards there, do you hear me?"
"Yeah."
Xia He suppressed the panic in his heart and nodded.
"One, two, three, run!"
Ning Chen counted three times, grabbed the girl beside him, and immediately ran towards the back door of the inn.
"Bang!"
Before everyone could recover, Ning Chen kicked open the back door, pulled Xia He and ran out.
"Stop them!"
In front of the gate, the middle-aged official shouted angrily.
Around the inn, the surrounding officers and soldiers came to their senses and immediately rushed to the back door.
At the back door exit, Ning Chen defeated several officers and soldiers blocking the way with three punches and two kicks, and rushed out with Xia He.
On the streets of the ancient city, a man and a woman ran away with all their strength. From behind, hundreds of officers and soldiers chased them. The unspeakable scene shocked all the people.
Xia He, who was almost dragged away, looked at the man in front of him. At this moment, the panic in his heart gradually calmed down, and a gentle look flashed on his beautiful face.
"Hold on to me."
Ning Chen looked back, glanced at Xia He, and said softly.
"Yeah!"
Xia He nodded vigorously, smiled, and in an instant, the city was full of flowers, and people were more beautiful than flowers.
