Nan Yu Lan lost control and shouted: "You can call me that, but the person I love has killed the person I respect the most, and it hurts so much that I wish I were dead!"
"Big brother …"
At this moment, Ying Ying had followed Dongfang Hao inside. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was simply stupefied. "Big Brother, who was the one that injured you to such an extent?"
Lan Nan's face turned cold, and her voice became cold and distant again: "I was the one who hurt him."
"My elder brother even saved you, and yet you treat him like this. Are you even human?" Ying Ying felt both heartache and sadness as she stepped forward to support Xiao Tianyuan.
Dongfang Hao glanced at her and asked, "So you are the Southern Wasteland?"
Xiao Tian Yuan held onto his chest and weakly advised: "Qi King, calm down. This is a grudge between Nan Yu Lan and I. Don't interfere."
"There will be no more grudges between you two, because there will be no grudges between the dead!" Hai Yue's voice came from the courtyard. He looked at the group of people with a smile and commanded his soldiers, "Release the arrows!"
Arrows kept shooting in from the yard.
Nan Yu was filled with blue light as he swung his sword to cut the incoming arrow. He cursed: "Yue Hai, I didn't think you would even want to sell me!"
Hai Yuheng sneered, "Release the arrows!"
Arrows were still being shot into the hall from all directions. Fang Zinan saw that something was wrong and went to grab hold of Shang Yiqing, "Let's get out of here."
At this time, NanYu Lan also helped Xiao Tian Yuan up while Ying Ying followed closely behind Dongfang Hao.
"Let's go …" Dongfang Hao gave a loud shout and led the crowd to charge out. He didn't expect Hai Yuexing to reach out a hand, "Light the fire." The archers immediately changed their quenched arrows and shot wildly at the hall. Many people died from the arrows, and only they who had high martial arts did not receive any injuries. However, the fire quickly spread out with thick smoke, and it was not easy for people to charge out.
In his panic, Dongfang Hao suddenly recalled that there was a secret chamber in the Grand Preceptor's estate that the duke had accidentally discovered while he was playing at the Grand Preceptor's estate. Was the secret chamber still there? Thinking of this, Dongfang Hao said to everyone, "Come with me."
Although everyone didn't know how to escape, Dongfang Hao was still a citizen of Dongfang Yu, so he was a bit more familiar with the situation. Therefore, he retreated together with Dongfang Hao.
Fang Zinan held on tightly to Shang Yiqing's hand, afraid that something would happen to her.
Under Dongfang Hao's lead, everyone retreated to the study at the back of the hall. Dongfang Hao walked into the study, turned a vase on the table, and came out from behind the bookcase. Dongfang Hao called out to everyone, "Everyone, quickly go in …"
Everyone followed Dongfang Hao into the secret room.
"Qi King, luckily you know of this place …" Shang Yiqing said gratefully.
"When I was young, I often came to the Grand Preceptor's estate to play and accidentally discovered a secret chamber. Furthermore, there should be an exit to this secret chamber as soon as possible. Otherwise, everyone would suffocate and bury themselves here." Dongfang Hao said in a low voice as he led everyone forward.
Xiao Tianyuan spat out a mouthful of blood. He had already been wounded by the sword, and the attack from the Southern Wasteland Thorn had been even more serious. He had even used all of his strength to strike back, but the wound was too severe for him to withstand.
"Big brother …" Ying Ying cried out in grief and indignation. She pulled out a sharp blade and pointed it at Nan Yulan. "If anything happens to my big brother, I won't let you go."
Nan Yu Lan didn't say anything and just stepped forward to support Xiao Tian Yuan.
When Hai Yue saw that everyone had turned around to flee, she hurriedly rushed over with her men. However, she found that these people were nowhere to be seen.
"Hurry up and search, we can't spare even a single one!" Hai Yue shouted in anger. "What the hell! I clearly saw these people just now, but why did they disappear in the blink of an eye? Could it be that these people have wings?"
The soldiers hurriedly searched around the Grand Preceptor's estate, but didn't find a single person. "General Returning Sea, we didn't see a single person. We only found a large amount of gunpowder in the warehouse."
"Gunpowder?" Glimmers danced in Hai Yue's eyes. Since they couldn't find these people, where were they hiding? It would be better to blow up the Grand Preceptor's estate to the ground. None of them could leave alive so they could report to King Ning. Thinking up to here, he instructed everyone, "Bring out the gunpowder and then blow up the Grand Preceptor's estate. Let's see who's still alive!"
South Yu Lan held onto Xiao Tian Yuan because the main hall was burning up and thick smoke billowed. If they didn't run now, then it would really be too late. Xiao Tian Yuan shouted, "You guys escape first. Don't worry about me."
"Brother Xiao …" Fang Zinan and Xiao Tianyuan had always been best friends, how could he bear to leave him alone?
Xiao Tian Yuan held onto his chest and said while gasping, "Listen to me, the situation is very critical right now. Only by finding the way out can we all die. Qi King would have to trouble you to take Ying Ying and Nan Yu Lan away first, and Prince Rong will also bring Princess Rong. I am already so heavily injured, so I can't walk at all, so don't worry about me, let's go quickly. "
"No," NanYu Lan flatly refused: "Since I was the one who hurt you, how can I leave you be?" She raised her head and looked at them resolutely, "You guys can leave. Don't worry about us. Even if he dies, I won't be able to survive. You guys hurry up and leave!" As he spoke, he viciously pushed everyone.
"Big brother …" Ying Ying cried out, "Let's go!" Dongfang Hao knew that the situation was critical, so he dragged Ying Ying along.
"Big Brother Xiao!" Shang Yiqing also cried out loudly. No matter what, Xiao Tianyuan had saved her life many times before. Furthermore, she had a good impression of Xiao Tianyuan, so how could she just watch him die here?
Fang Zinan gritted his teeth and turned his head to say to Xiao Tianyuan, "Brother Xiao, don't worry. The moment we leave this place, we will definitely avenge you!" Then, he ignored Shang Yiqing's struggles and shouts as he desperately walked forward.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for causing you to be like this!"
Xiao Tianyuan laughed bitterly, "Hurry up and run. Don't worry about me!"
Nan Yu Lan shook his head: "No, I said I won't live by myself even if you die! "Even if I have to carry you on my back, I will still carry you out!" Without saying anything further, he grabbed Xiao Tian Yuan and headed deeper into the secret room.
Xiao Tianyuan shook her off with all his might and said impolitely: "I killed your master and I have an irreconcilable feud with you. Why do you have to put your life on the line for me? Is what you're doing worth it?"
"Of course it's worth it!" Her tears made her gentle and intelligent appearance even more exquisite and attractive. She spoke slowly, her hoarse voice hoarse: "You've done so many things for me and even saved me, can't I do this for you?"
Xiao Tianyuan shook his head with difficulty: "When you stabbed me just now, we had already broken off all ties and owed each other nothing. From now on, you and I are like strangers and I do not want to see you anymore. Go!"
"Good!" "Alright!" Nan Yu Lan shook his head in disbelief: "I know you said that on purpose, to let me go, but I had to drag you along!" As he said this, he picked up Xiao Tianyuan and walked towards the next door of the secret room. Just as he turned the corner, the wooden door suddenly cracked open.
