After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 290 Escaped

"Li Siqi, don't!" Xu Yingying anxiously wanted to stop Li Siqi, but his current body could not withstand such a powerful internal force.

But Li Siqi turned a deaf ear to Xu Yingying's calls.

In fact, if it comes to a competition of internal strength, Ye Luwen is no match for Li Siqi at all, not to mention that Li Siqi is now making a desperate attempt. Although he is already at the end of his strength, the air pressure around him is not something Ye Luwen can resist.

The final result was obvious. Li Siqi used all his internal strength to attack. Ye Luwen could not dodge and had to endure the blow head on. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth and could not utter another word. He fell to the ground and soon died.

Seeing this, Li Siqi could no longer stand and staggered to his knees on the ground.

Xu Yingying tightly grasped the antidote in her hand, hurriedly took Li Siqi's pulse, and finally fed the antidote to Li Siqi with trembling hands.

It takes time to absorb the antidote after taking it, but this is not a habitable place. There was a lot of noise just now, and someone will definitely come to check it out soon. By then, Xu Yingying and others will not be able to escape even if they want to.

Seeing that Li Siqi was about to faint, Xu Yingying hurriedly said, "Li Siqi, hold on a little longer, don't faint, I'll take you out right away."

After saying that, Xu Yingying forced herself to hold on to her strength and helped Li Siqi out of the house. Fortunately, Tao Yao was leading the way in front. The two of them and the ghost were planning to leave through a small path, but they didn't know when the entire palace of Ye Dina was surrounded. Many of the guards heard the noise just now and were moving towards this side.

Xu Yingying's back teeth were almost broken, "Taoyao, where else can we go?"

Tao Yao suddenly remembered something and led Xu Yingying in the opposite direction. "Come with me. I remember there is a basement here with a small path leading to the outside."

Xu Yingying was overjoyed. She followed Tao Yao's footsteps and helped Li Siqi walk to the basement as quickly as possible. After avoiding several waves of guards, the two finally escaped from the palace through the small path in the basement.

Fortunately, the palace pointed out by Ye Dina was not far from the outside of the palace, but there was a jungle outside. But for Xu Yingying and Li Siqi now, it was the most suitable place.

Xu Yingying found a secret place nearby that was not easily discovered, put Li Siqi down, let him meditate and recuperate, and also gave herself some time to rest.

But there was some unrest in the palace. The fastest group of guards had entered the bedroom and saw Ye Luwen lying lifeless on the ground, while Ye Dina next to him was still in a coma.

The news of the sudden death of a king quickly spread throughout Wenwa and the Western Regions.

For a while, the people of Wenwa were in panic, and other small countries in the Western Regions were also eyeing Wenwa covetously, but that was a matter for later.

Xu Yingying estimated that the time was about right, so she helped Li Siqi up and walked towards a small village not far away.

Although Li Siqi has recovered a little, the forceful use of his internal energy still caused him considerable damage. Xu Yingying needs to find a suitable place for Li Siqi to recuperate.

Obviously, the prosperous Wenwa capital will soon become extremely chaotic because of Ye Luwen's death. Xu Yingying plans to take Li Siqi to hide in a small village that is not noticed by many people to avoid the limelight for a while.

In fact, it is not appropriate to call it a small village. At the beginning, this place was a slum, inhabited by refugees from outside. Later, the refugees gradually settled here and the slum became presentable.

When Xu Yingying helped Li Siqi into the village, they saw an old lady sitting at the entrance of the village, resting her eyes leisurely.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying helped Li Siqi forward and asked, "Madam, may I ask if there are any vacant houses in this village? I would like to rent one."

When the old lady heard the voice, she slowly opened her eyes and saw the two people in front of her in a miserable state.

"Oh my God, how did you do this?" The old lady looked anxious. She wanted to help Xu Yingying, but she didn't know how to start.

Xu Yingying quickly said, "I can come by myself. This is my husband. We came to Wenwa not long ago. Unexpectedly, there was an accident on the road. My husband was seriously injured. So we would like to ask for a place to stay here for us to rest for a few days. Of course, we will pay the money." Xu Yingying explained her purpose in just a few words.

"That's easy. I have an empty room in my house. Come with me home." The old lady was also a kind-hearted person. Without saying a word, she took Xu Yingying and Li Siqi back to her home.

After settling Li Siqi, Xu Yingying finally breathed a sigh of relief. She took out some silver from her purse and handed it to the old lady. "Auntie, this is a little gift from us. Please accept it. Also, I don't know if you have any food here. I can buy some for you."

The old lady did not refuse the money that Xu Yingying handed over, but accepted it generously, "Don't be so polite to me, I have a lot of food here, I will send it to you later."

"Thank you very much, Auntie." Xu Yingying bowed to the Auntie.

The old lady acted very quickly and soon prepared everything Xu Yingying needed.

After Xu Yingying carefully cleaned Li Siqi's body, she finally had the energy to check on Tao Yao's condition.

Tao Yao has always been by Xu Yingying's side, but Xu Yingying discovered that after leaving the palace, Tao Yao's figure became much more transparent.

"Taoyao, now that Ye Luwen is dead and your wish has been fulfilled, why is your soul still lingering?" Xu Yingying was a little confused.

Tao Yao looked down at herself, and a bitter smile appeared on her face. "I don't know either. I thought I couldn't leave the palace, but now I am standing outside the palace. However, I can feel that my soul is gradually disappearing."

"I can help you to be reborn, but I don't know if you are willing." Xu Yingying was silent for a moment, then took the initiative to speak.

"Really?" Tao Yao's eyes lit up, but she seemed to have thought of something, and her expression gradually darkened, "But I still want to go home and take a look."

“But I’m afraid your soul power can’t hold up until that time. Your wish has been fulfilled, and you should be reincarnated. If you delay any further, you’ll probably really disappear into thin air.” Xu Yingying frowned.

Tao Yao seemed to have thought it through, and smiled at Xu Yingying, "I know, so I can only ask you for a favor. I am originally from the Central Plains. If possible, when you return to the Central Plains, can you go to Qinghe for me? There is a famous woman in the Cui family of Qinghe named Cui Jiangjiang, and I want to find her."

"Okay..." Xu Yingying agreed.
