The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 390 Why Did You Save Me

Hearing this, Zhao Yan's expression changed suddenly, he looked up at the position on the wall and suddenly looked at Huo Xun: "You didn't come alone!"

"Duke Huai told me out of kindness, how could I come here empty-handed about Ruan'er's whereabouts? Naturally, I have to give you a surprise."

Huo Xun embraced Xiao Ruan, protected her in his arms, and looked at Zhao Yan with a candid expression.

During the daytime, he could not find Xiao Ruan in the back mountain, but when he was in a hurry to get angry, Zhao Yan sent another letter.

In the letter, Zhao Yan invited Huo Xun to come and talk, and asked him to come alone.

Huo Xun secretly sent people to investigate the place where Zhao Yan was hiding, and found that Zhao Yan was extremely arrogant.

He hid in a private house on the outskirts of Tong'an City, with only a hundred remnants in his hands, but even so he still wanted to threaten himself with Xiao Ruan.

Without hesitation, Huo Xun secretly arranged a team to follow him. After he successfully entered Zhao Yan's courtyard and attracted everyone's attention, another team took this opportunity to sneak into the courtyard quietly, waiting for him s arrangement.

Huo Xun was worried about Xiao Ruan's safety, so he didn't dare to let those people show up easily, but unexpectedly Zhao Yan ordered them to shoot arrows as soon as he saw him.

She thought it would be quite tricky to snatch Xiao Ruan from him, because what she didn't expect was that Xiao Ruan ran towards him regardless of her life and escaped Zhao Yan's control.

Seeing this, Huo Xun immediately made a decision, whistled secretly, and the guards outside quickly rushed over to subdue the archer on the wall secretly.

Now that Xiao Ran was right behind him, he looked at Zhao Yan with a little more indifference since he didn't have any worries.

"Zhao Yan, you only have a hundred guards in your hands, do you really think you can escape from me?"

After Huo Xun finished speaking, he made a gesture in the darkness, and saw the archer on the wall immediately aimed his arrow at Zhao Yan.

"My lord, I'm going to cover you, please leave here with me!"

Ling An noticed the seriousness of the situation and immediately suggested to Zhao Yan to leave, but Zhao Yan stared at Xiao Ruan as if his feet were bound.

"Ruan'er, are you telling me that you don't care about that child's life anymore, right?"

Before Xiao Ruan could speak, Huo Xun immediately stood in front of her, blocking Zhao Yan's sight: "Zhao Yan, I advise you to hand over the child immediately, as long as you are willing to hand over the child, I can let you go!"

As if hearing something extremely ridiculous, Zhao Yan suddenly laughed loudly: "Huo Xun, do you think I will still believe you? Anyway, this king is going to die anyway, so it's worthwhile to take you on the road together."

Zhao Yan's eyes were red, he suddenly pulled out a sharp arrow from his waist, and immediately rushed towards Huo Xun.

Seeing this, Huo Xun immediately drew out his sword and attacked Zhao Yan.

It was dark at night, but the courtyard was illuminated by torches at some point.Zhao Yan's remaining soldiers and Huo Xun's men quickly fought together, but after a while, the air began to be filled with blood.

Seemingly knowing that he was at the end of the road, Zhao Yan's remnants turned out to be extraordinarily strong, Xiao Ruan was very worried when he saw that Zhao Yan was on par with Huo Xun.

Zhao Yan attacked Huo Xun's vital point with swords and knives, but Huo Xun didn't dare to kill him because he wanted to find out the whereabouts of the child.

"It's all you witch! Today I will kill you for our lord!"

Xiao Ruan stood aside, looking terrified, and suddenly heard an angry shout from behind, and then realized that someone was stabbing at her with a long sword.

And the person holding the sword turned out to be Ling An.

Seeing the long sword in the other party's hand flashing coldly, it pierced directly into his chest.Xiao Ruan's heart froze, and she quickly dodged back, but her figure was far clumsier than Ling An's.

I knew that I would simply close my eyes otherwise, but with the sound of a knife piercing into the flesh, the expected pain did not appear.

Xiao Ruan opened his eyes, and suddenly found that the hilt of the sword in Ling An's hand was still lying across his chest, and hadn't pierced it.What was even more unexpected was that Ling An stiffened his body and looked at the person behind him with disbelief. Blood was trickling out of his chest.

"My lord..."

Under the firelight, the bloody water glistened and fell bit by bit.Ling An only had time to make a sound from his mouth before falling to the ground with a bang.

Xiao Ruan followed Ling An's staring eyes and looked towards him in disbelief, and also showed an unbelievable expression - the person who killed Ling An turned out to be Zhao Yan!

Zhao Yan didn't seem to have thought that he would kill the most heartfelt guard around him with a knife, and stood there for a long time without moving a bit, even Huo Xun's men stepped forward to put the knife on her neck without moving a bit... …

The tense night passed quickly, Huo Xun interrogated Zhao Yan's child's whereabouts overnight, while Xiao Ruanku sat by the window and watched the dark outside without closing his eyes all night.

She never expected that the person who saved her tonight was actually Zhao Yan.

The moment she opened her eyes, she thought that the person who saved him would be Huo Xun, or Huo Xun's subordinates, but she never thought that it would be Zhao Yan who rushed over and killed Ling An with a knife.

Ling An was Zhao Yan's longest-serving and most sincere bodyguard, and unlike other bodyguards, they grew up together, and the relationship between the two was extremely deep.

Xiao Ruan still remembered that in the previous life, because Ling An had rescued Zhao Yan several times, Zhao Yan directly named him General Protector after winning the throne, a first-rank official in the court.

However, just last night, Zhao Yan killed Ling An with a sword because he saved her.

The sky outside the window was already bright, and the birds began to be active on the branches, Xiao Ruan rubbed his aching eye sockets.Just about to go back to bed to rest, the door was suddenly pushed open, and it was Huo Xun who walked in from the outside with a chill in his body.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruan quickly suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, and grabbed Huo Xun's sleeve: "How is it? Have you found any trace of Yuan'er?"

"Zhao Yan hid Yuan'er very well, but I didn't find Yuan'er. I think he probably hid the child in another place."

Huo Xun sighed, his voice full of disappointment.

After Zhao Yan was captured last night, he immediately searched the yard carefully, but found nothing.

In the end, Zhao Yan was tortured for a whole night, but he still didn't get any news about the child.

"You... don't worry, I will find a way to pry Zhao Yan's mouth open today and let him tell the whereabouts of the child."

"He doesn't even care about death now, how can you ask him out of it?"

Xiao Ruan lowered his head, Huo Xun couldn't see Xiao Ruan's expression clearly, but he felt that Xiao Ruan today was different from the past.

Thinking that she was worried about the child, Huo Xun wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't say anything.

The child suffered several hardships in Xiao Ruan's womb, if Lin Tianqi hadn't tried his best to rescue him, he would have been stillborn.When he was born, Xiao Ruan fell into the enemy again, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Zhao Yan has been refusing to reveal the whereabouts of the child. On the surface, Huo Xun and Xiao Ruan believed that the child was still alive, but they knew very well in their hearts that they just had hope and did not dare to admit that the child had been killed by Zhao Yan.

What he is most afraid of now is what Xiao Ruan said, Zhao Yan is not even afraid of death now, if he refuses to tell the whereabouts of the child until he dies, what will they do!
"I'm going to see Zhao Yan."

Huo Xun felt anxious for a while, when he suddenly heard Xiao Ruan's voice, he immediately raised his head: "You...don't! If he sees you..."

Huo Xun subconsciously wanted to stop him, but Xiao Ruan's face was firm.

Thinking of how Zhao Yan was arrested last night, Huo Xun's mouth suddenly fell into silence. After a long time, he finally sighed and nodded to Xiao Ruan.

"I'll accompany you."

Zhao Yan was temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon in Tong'an City, and was not locked up with Zhao Feng.

The jailer held Xiao Ruan and Huo Xun to the place with a torch, and immediately retreated.

The damp and rotten smell in the air was very obvious. Zhao Yan sat with his head down on the dry grass in a corner, his face was hidden in the shadow and he couldn't see clearly.

Hearing the movement outside, Zhao Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Xun and Xiao Ruan, but finally stopped his gaze on Xiao Ruan.

"Zhao Yan, the Crown Prince promised to save your life to give you a chance. If you refuse to tell Yuan'er's whereabouts again, I will never give you any more chances!"

Huo Xun squinted his eyes, and roared directly at Zhao Yan who was on the ground, and there was a faint echo in the cell immediately.

Zhao Yan glanced at Huo Xun coldly, then suddenly looked at Xiao Ruan, and said mockingly: "Ruan Er, you came here to see me, but you want to see me off for the last time?"

"Master, can I have a private talk with him?"

Never thought that Xiao Ruan would send him away, Huo Xun was about to refuse on the spot, but when he saw Xiao Ruan's pleading eyes, his lips moved, and he didn't say the words of refusal.

"General Huo walk slowly."

Zhao Yan raised his chin at Huo Xun proudly, and after watching him leave, his voice returned to indifference: "You come to see me and want to perform a beauty trick in front of me, let me tell you the whereabouts of the child? I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you, your child has been killed by me long ago, and this is what will happen to you for betraying me!”

Zhao Yan stared firmly into Xiao Ruan's eyes, wanting to see her regretful expression, but unexpectedly, Xiao Ruan's eyes contained doubts, regret, sadness, pain, and many things he couldn't understand. emotions, but no regrets.

"roll!"

Suddenly, an unknown fire rose from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Yan suddenly stood up, walked to the fence, stared at Xiao Ruan closely and let out a roar.

Xiao Ruan's ears hurt from the shock, but she didn't take half a step back.

Just when the man inside the fence was getting more and more emotionally broken, Xiao Ruan took a deep breath, looked into his eyes and said softly: "Zhao Yan, why did you save me?"

"I don't want to save you! I want to rush over and kill you!"

Zhao Yan seemed to be poked in a sore foot, and roared again but his eyes dodged to the side, not daring to look at Xiao Ruan.
