"Guards!" The outrider waved a large hand. "These two have shown disrespect to General Chang Yuchun and the Bright King! Execute them on the spot!"
Although Chang Yuchun frowned slightly, he tacitly consented.
A large crowd of Red Turban Army soldiers surrounded them, raising their weapons.
Du Yu looked bewildered. Why on earth was this happening? Wasn't Xiao Nian a girl?
The outrider before him was a big, burly man!
How could he be Xiao Nian?!
"Brother Yu, do you need me to act?" A Kui asked coldly.
Du Yu frowned in thought. Whether they fought or not, things looked grim.

"It seems... you really haven't..."
"You're injured right now. If anything goes wrong, I'll protect you. For now, let's figure out how to escape. We can't kill these people."
Only then did
