Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 214 Ambush
This action shocked the two guys. They didn't expect that this young lady, who looked so weak, could be so strong that she could lift an adult man with one hand.

Although Yan Ciwan's actions were rough, he still spoke softly.

"You deliberately concealed Xie Li's whereabouts. It seems that you are in cahoots with him. Now that we can't find Xie Li, we have no choice but to hand you over to the police for the time being."

After saying that, she grabbed the shopkeeper and walked out.

The shopkeeper struggled with all his might but failed to free himself from her hand. His face turned red with suffocation and he shouted, "Let me go! I don't even know what a thank you gift is!"

Yan Ciwan glanced at him and said coldly, "When you fall into the hands of the inner guards, I wonder if you can still be as stubborn as you are now?"

The shopkeeper must have heard about the methods of the Inner Guard Bureau, and his body trembled immediately.

He struggled even harder: "I really don't know Xie Li, but I did see a man running here just now. He gave me a silver ingot and said he wanted to hide in the backyard for a while. I...I agreed for the money."

His voice weakened at the end, and he obviously felt guilty about it.

Yan Ciwan stopped and said, "Take us to find him."

"Okay, okay, let me go first, and I'll take you there."

Yan Ciwan let go of his hand.

The shopkeeper was able to regain his freedom, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the Ning Dao was unsheathed, and the thin and soft blade touched the shopkeeper's neck, making him stand still again, his heart in his throat.

Yan Ciwan raised his chin slightly and said, "Lead the way."

The shopkeeper looked at Ning Dao and stammered, "Can you please not use this knife..."

"As long as you don't play tricks, I won't do anything to you."

The shopkeeper had no choice but to lead the way. Yan Ciwan and Xiao Wang followed him through the side door and into the backyard.

There was a square patio in the backyard. They walked through the patio and came to an archway.

The door had been bolted from behind and could not be opened.

The shopkeeper knocked three times on the door, and after a moment, someone pulled the wooden bolt and opened the door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman. When she saw the shopkeeper with a knife on his neck, she was immediately frightened and her face turned pale. She screamed, "What are you doing? Let my husband go!"

The shopkeeper said tremblingly, "Madam, take these two in quickly. They are looking for the person who just ran in."

The shopkeeper's wife was afraid that her husband would be killed, so she stepped aside to make way.

Behind the archway is a small courtyard. It seems that the shopkeeper and his wife usually live here.

The shopkeeper’s wife begged, “Please don’t hurt my husband.”

Xiao Wang said: "As long as we can see Xie Li, your husband will be fine."

"He is hiding in the guest room. Come with me."

The shopkeeper's wife led the way in front, and from time to time she would look back at her husband, fearing that he might be hurt.

The group arrived at the door of the guest room, and the shopkeeper knocked on the door: "Sir, you must be thirsty, right? I made a pot of tea and left it at the door. You can open the door and take it yourself."

After saying that, she turned and left, deliberately increasing her pace to make clear footsteps.

Yan Ci Wan and Xiao Wang stood by without moving, and the shopkeeper who was held hostage by them didn't even dare to breathe.

After waiting for a long time, I heard a light click and the door was slowly opened from the inside.

Xie Li poked his head out stealthily.

When he saw Yan Ci Wan and Xiao Wang standing outside, he was horrified and realized that he had been betrayed. He immediately shrank back and tried to close the door.

Yan Ciwan is faster than him.

She pushed the shopkeeper out, and the shopkeeper couldn't bear such a great force and hit the door hard.

The door that was about to close was forced open.

Xie Li turned and ran away, Yan Ciwan chased after him with Ning Dao in hand, Xiao Wang followed closely behind, and when they entered the guest room, they saw that in addition to Xie Li, there were four other men holding swords. As soon as they saw their fierce aura, they knew they were up to no good. At the same time, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Yan Ci Wan and Xiao Wang looked back and saw that the shopkeeper and his wife had already hidden far away, and their way was blocked by two burly men outside the door.

In this situation, Yan Ci Wan and Xiao Wang realized that they had fallen into an ambush.

Xie Li covered his injured abdomen and sneered, "Didn't you insist on chasing me? Are you still chasing me now?"

Yan Ciwan looked at him and asked, "Where is Nie Xiayun?"

"If you want to see her, put down your weapon and surrender."

Yan Ciwan stared at him coldly.

Xie Li felt frightened when he was looked at, and the wound on his abdomen hurt even more.

Just when he thought the other party would fight to the end, he heard Yan Ciwan's sudden response.

"it is good."

After saying that, she loosened her fingers and the Ning Dao fell to the ground.

Xie Li breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. This woman was truly powerful. It would be best if he could capture her without bloodshed.

He gave a wink, and the two burly men standing outside the door entered the house, took out ropes and prepared to tie up Yan Ci Wan and Xiao Wang.

Yan Ciwan obediently raised his hands.

But before the rope could wrap around her wrist, she pulled up her sleeves to reveal the crossbow tied to her forearm and quickly pulled the trigger.

With two whooshes, two crossbow arrows were fired in succession.

Because her movements were too sudden and the distance between the two sides was very close, the two big men had no time to dodge. They were each hit by an arrow, and then lost consciousness and fell straight to the ground.

There were only two arrows in the crossbow, and the quiver was now empty.

But outsiders don't know this.

Yan Ciwan aimed at the thank you gift not far away and said slowly, "Let's guess, is your dodging action faster? Or is the crossbow in my hand faster?"

Xie Li looked at the two big men lying motionless on the ground, and his face became extremely ugly.

He asked with difficulty: "Don't you want to see Nie Xiayun?"

Yan Ciwan smiled slightly: "I will tie you up, break your arms and legs, and torture you slowly. Sooner or later, you will tell me where Nie Xiayun is."

Xiao Wang bent down to pick up the Ning Dao on the ground and returned it to Yan Ci Wan.

Xie Li stared at the crossbow in Yan Ci Wan's hand. In order to escape just now, he ran wildly for his life and a lot of blood flowed from his wounds. At this moment, he felt his hands and feet were cold, and his reaction was far less agile than usual.

He was not sure if he could dodge the crossbow arrows at this distance?

He was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"I actually don't know where Nie Xiayun is. Someone told me that if I say this name, you will behave yourself."

Yan Ciwan asked, "Who is that person?"

Xie Li glanced at the four masters standing beside him and said in a trembling voice: "I can't tell you, but I can take you to see him."

Yan Ci Wan looked at the four men holding swords and realized that Xie Li was considering these four men.

She glanced at Xiao Wang beside her.

Xiao Wang received her hint, reached into his sleeve and grabbed a cigarette holder.

"Then please lead the way." Yan Ciwan said as he put down the crossbow.

Seeing this, Xie Li was about to take action, but the next moment he saw Xiao Wang throw out a chimney, and thick smoke came out, filling the entire guest room.
