Gu Yanfei checked Wei Wan’s pulse and took out a talisman from her sleeve. She stuck the talisman to the bleeding wound on Wei Wan’s back and explained, “This is a hemostatic talisman.”
As the name implies, the hemostatic talisman was naturally used to stop the bleeding.
So, Wei Wan could still be saved, right? A trace of hope appeared in Imperial Duchess Wei’s eyes.
Looking at his younger sister, who was breathing weakly and on the verge of death, Imperial Duke Wei’s face was ashen. Veins popped out on his forehead. He was both angry and heartbroken. He raised his voice and said angrily, “Kill!”
The towering anger in his heart was vented with this shout. His voice resounded through the clouds like a dragon’s roar, and his aura was oppressive.
“Leave him alive,” Imperial Duchess Wei, who was kneeling beside Wei Wan, said with difficulty. Her voice was hoarse, and tears couldn’t help but fall from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing that Imperial Duke Wei didn’t retort, the guards understood what their master meant and divided the work.
The guards who came with Imperial Duke Wei today were all elites of Duke Wei’s Mansion. They had even accompanied Imperial Duke Wei to the battlefield and had all seen blood on their hands.
They were all extremely skilled. The few of them raised their knives and killed three bandits in gray rough cloth, leaving only the last bearded man.
In order to prevent the bearded man from committing suicide, one of the guards dislocated his chin like lightning, causing his face to contort in pain.
All of this happened in ten breaths, and the dust had already settled.
“Imperial Duke Wei, the others have already been executed on the spot.” A few guards of Duke Wei’s Mansion escorted the big-bearded man to report to Imperial Duke Wei.
Xu Yan, who was lying on the ground, only woke up at this moment. He raised his hand and touched his swollen forehead, only to see that it was covered in blood.
His mind was still buzzing, and he was in a daze.
Xu Yan groaned almost silently. When he opened his eyes, he saw Imperial Duke Wei and his wife ten feet away. His memories before he fainted quickly returned.
Seeing that Imperial Duke Wei and his wife’s attention was on Wei Wan, Xu Yan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes dark.
He gritted his teeth without making a sound and crawled out of the gap between the tree trunk and the carriage with difficulty. Then he climbed into the toppled carriage.
After a while, he carried Xu Luo out of the carriage and covered his son’s mouth with one hand. He bent down and quietly walked to the back of the carriage, tiptoeing…
Xu Yan only cared about carrying his son and running. He thought that no one from Duke Wei’s Mansion had noticed him, but he didn’t know that a pair of clear and bright almond-shaped eyes was watching his every move from behind.
Gu Yanfei turned to the side and picked up the jade pendant on the ground. She rubbed her fingers on the jade pendant twice and saw a roaring tiger engraved on it. It clearly belonged to a man.
She looked at the little girl’s curled right calf without batting an eyelid and understood everything.
Gu Yan injected a little spirit energy into the jade pendant and casually threw it, causing her sleeves to flutter…
The jade pendant flashed with white light and drew a long curve in the air. It accurately hit the back of Xu Yan’s head.
THUMP!
Xu Yan didn’t even have time to scream in pain before his tall body fell straight to the ground with a dull sound.
Even Xu Luo, who was in his arms, fell to the ground in a sorry state. The boy cried out.
The guards of Duke Wei’s Mansion were checking the corpses on the ground. At this moment, they noticed this scene and quickly rushed forward to take down the unconscious Xu Yan.
“Uncle!” Xu Luo got up from the ground. His palm had been scratched by the stones on the ground, and it was so painful that his face was scrunched up.
He wanted to rush over to look for Imperial Duke Wei, but he was stopped by two guards working together and not letting him approach Imperial Duke Wei and his wife.
He was still young. Facing two tall guards, he was as fragile as a baby.
The guard captain hurriedly went over to ask Imperial Duke Wei, “Imperial Duke Wei, how should we deal with Lord Ji’an’s son, Xu Luo?”
Before Imperial Duke Wei could answer, Xu Luo, who was stopped by the guards, had already shouted at the top of his lungs, “Uncle, they’re so bold. How dare they stop me? Kill them!”
Xu Luo’s eyes were filled with an unruly, ferocious glint as he raised his chin.
“Capture him,” Imperial Duke Wei instructed the guard captain decisively as he looked at the boy coldly.
Not to mention Xu Luo’s suspicious background, even if he was really Wei Wan’s son, he was so eccentric and unruly. As an elder, he had to interfere.
The guard captain understood what Imperial Duke Wei meant and did as he was told.
“Yanfei, the bleeding has stopped… Has Ah Wan’s wound stopped bleeding?!” Imperial Duchess Wei, who had been staring at Wei Wan’s wound, shouted excitedly..
