Chapter 268

At this time, Qiao Nian also woke up slowly by the Changyang River.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a bearded man staring at her.

She was shocked and stepped back subconsciously, but she didn't expect that she was suddenly empty behind her. She almost fell down. It was the bearded man who pulled her to stabilize her body.

She realized that there was a wide and boundless river behind her.

Is this the Changyang River?

Before Qiao Nian could react, another voice came from the other side, "Don't move, the Changyang River is very deep, it will be difficult to get up if you fall in!"

Qiao Nian looked at the man who was talking. He looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, still a teenager.

He was wiping the long sword in his hand at this moment.

Qiao Nian remembered.

She disguised herself as a maid, deceived the guards inside and outside the house, and successfully escaped.

But on the path back to Beijing, she met these two people.

It was the bearded man who recognized her first.

Qiao Nian frowned slightly, and then asked, "Are you the bandits from Yongbei?"

It was them who killed Jing Yan!

The boy glanced at her and said nothing.

The bearded man sneered, "Yes, it's me. I'm here to avenge your man!"

In their eyes, Xiao Heng was Qiao Nian's man.

But listening to their words, Qiao Nian just found it ridiculous.

The man who slaughtered the people of the entire village, even the babies, kept saying that he wanted revenge?

The devil with blood on his hands should go to hell!

But she didn't say anything.

She knew that she shouldn't anger these two people at this moment.

A pair of eyes looked around.

Then she heard the boy next to her say, "Don't look for it, there are only us."

The stronghold was not destroyed, and there were many bandits who escaped, but they were the only ones who wanted to take revenge.

Because, the bandit leader was the boy's biological father and the bearded man's biological brother!

They came here to take Xiao Heng's life!

The bearded man also spoke up, "It's bad luck. If we had known that your wife would come out of the house by herself, we should have killed the girl from the Xiao family first!"

They thought that it would take a lot of time to sneak into the house, so they didn't have time to care about the girl from the Xiao family and just tied her up in the woods.

If they knew that they had so much time, they should have tortured the girl to death first!

Qiao Nian still lowered his head and didn't speak.

Just thinking that Nuan Nuan should be safe.

Perhaps her silence made the boy feel strange.

After all, they had never seen a woman who could be so calm after being caught.

Then the boy said, "Hey, aren't you afraid?"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian looked at him, "What are you afraid of?"

The boy smiled coldly, "Today, we all have to die here."

They knew that it was not easy to deal with Xiao Heng. Even if they could take Xiao Heng's life, they would have no chance of survival.

So today, they came with the intention of dying together with Xiao Heng.

Of course, Qiao Nian couldn't survive!

Qiao Nian was afraid.

But, looking at the boy, she asked, "If I say I'm afraid, will you let me go?"

The answer is obviously no.

Since she wouldn't, why should she show fear and make the two bandits happy for nothing?

What's more, although she was afraid, she was also a little excited.

Jing Yan died in Yongbei. If she could find a chance to kill them, it would be considered revenge for Jing Yan personally!

Just thinking about it, a sound of horse hooves sounded.

Looking in the direction of the sound, three figures were seen galloping.

The boy next to him grabbed Qiao Nian and put the long sword that was wiped very bright on Qiao Nian's neck. The sharp blade just touched her skin and left a thin blood mark on her neck.

"Don't be impulsive!" Xiao He got off the horse first and shouted at the bandits.

Seeing the glaring blood on Qiao Nian's neck, her heart instantly tightened.

Xiao Heng and Lin Ye also followed him down from the horse.

Xiao Heng's face was extremely gloomy, and his fists were tightly clenched.

He only hated why he didn't catch all the bandits at the beginning, and let Qiao Nian fall into such a dangerous situation.

Lin Ye was also shocked, and immediately exclaimed, "I can give you whatever you want! Let go of my sister!"

Qiao Nian's eyes sank.

She didn't expect that Lin Ye would come too.

But she suddenly realized that even in such a scene, she still didn't want to see Lin Ye.

She didn't want to hear him say the word "sister".

When did she start to hate her former brother so much?

Before she could think about it, she heard the bearded man shouting, "You want us to let him go? Easy! Hand over Xiao Heng's head!"

Hearing this, Xiao He and Lin Ye were both shocked.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Heng suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist and put it on his neck without thinking.

The speed was so fast that Xiao He was shocked.

Almost subconsciously, the stone hit Xiao Heng's wrist, and the severe pain made the long sword in his hand fall to the ground.

However, blood still came out of his neck.

"Are you crazy?!" Xiao He exclaimed.

I dare not imagine what the scene would be like if I was a step slower just now!

Lin Ye was also scared.

He didn't expect Xiao Heng to not even have time to think.

Even Qiao Nian didn't expect it.

In just a flash of lightning, Xiao Heng almost took his own life!

He didn't even bother to say a word to the bandit, so straightforward and neat...

Even the two bandits were stunned.

The young man frowned, never expecting that the man who killed his father would now do this for a woman.

But the bearded man on the side laughed, "Nephew, you read it right, this man named Xiao cares more about this woman than his own life!"

They got it right!

These words were extremely harsh in Qiao Nian's ears.

So now, what?

It was clear that he was the one who didn't want her in the first place, and now he came to exchange his life for his life. What did it mean? !

Suddenly, Xiao Heng was covering his injured wrist with one hand, his eyes were so gloomy that he stared at the young man, "Let her go, I will give you my life."

The tone was firm, without any hesitation.

The young man frowned slightly and was about to speak, but Qiao Nian spoke first, "I don't need your life."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng's eyes suddenly sank.

Just listen to Qiao Nian continue to say, "Xiao Heng, if you can let me go, it will be a great kindness to me. I don't want your life, and I will not give you the chance to save me with your life!"

After saying that, Qiao Nian suddenly took action, and the silver needle hidden between his fingers suddenly pierced the young man's right thigh.

The acupuncture points were so precise that the young man screamed in pain, his right leg instantly lost strength, and he could no longer even hold the sword.

Qiao Nian took advantage of the situation and grabbed the long sword in the young man's hand. Seeing this, Xiao Heng and others immediately rushed over.

But it was never as close as the beard.

Seeing Qiao Nian's resistance, the beard struck Qiao Nian with a palm.

Under the powerful force, Qiao Nian's body swayed and fell into the Changyang River.
