"We... ha...ve to save...Ah Dai." Si Ning managed to say even though his head was spinning because Jiang Ye was carrying him upside down and he felt like the whole blood in his body was rushing to his head.

The image of Ah Dai lying cold on the floor made him started dangling his legs as a sign of refusal to make Jiang Ye understand he doesn't want to leave Ah Dai behind but he was weak and the drugs were making his whole body tingle all over that he wanted to cry yet he wasn't able to and his motion slowed before stopping because he couldn't feel his legs anymore.

"General, Ah Dai is fine, Xiao Pei will find a way out." Jiang Ye assured Si Ning in a hurry, holding him tightly to his shoulder.

"How... can... you... be sure." Si Ning's voice broke and was low.

"Trust us General, Ah Dai will be fine so as Xiao Pei" Jiang Ye replied firmly.

Jiang Ye was so fast that Si Ning wondered how he could carry a grown man on his shoulder while running through the passage and no matter what he says to stop him only increased his pace that Si Ning resulted to pounding Jiang's back with all his strength yet he knew it would just be like it was a two-year-old that was hitting him because Si Ning could nearly lift his hands that after hitting Jiang Ye once, he let his hands dangles to be able to rest before hitting him again, his gaze hazy and breathing short due to the heavy incense in the passage and lack of fresh air.

"Jiang Ye... I say ah stop."

Jiang Ye neither complies nor acts like he was listening as he kept running through the passage only to stop at the corner to check if they were clear till they finally got to an opening.

Seeing that the strong scent of incense was gone and fresh air assaulted him made Si Ning raised his head and he wasn't able to see much but he could tell they had left the tavern and he expected Jiang Ye to put him down so he could order him to go back to help Xiao Pei and Ah Dai instead Jiang Ye started walking close to the walls to conceal himself while still carrying Si Ning.

Si Ning wanted to yell but he was feeling dizzy and could feel his inner pant getting wet due to the liquid coming from the tip of his thing that was still erect and refused to go down only to result in leaking due to the amount of friction created between Jiang Ye's shoulder and his lower half. Si Ning wondered if Jiang Ye could feel it, he would also be embarrassed to ask, and seeing that Jiang Ye was serious in taking him away, he knew he had to hold his questions till they get home because it wasn't his fault he had a boner and shouldn't be ashamed.

It was funny that he never thought that Qiu Bai could drug him when he did when he was an Actor, drugging him and taking him home only for him to be saved by Liu Zhicheng and this proved that no matter what life, Qiu Bai would always be scum.

"Jiang Ye, you have to leave me here and save Ah Dai." Si Ning said and clutched to Jiang Ye's robe yanking it to prevent Jiang Ye from moving forward but since the robe was big made it impossible to obstruct Jiang Ye's steps and Si Ning made a motion to pinch him but the robes had so many layers and Jiang Ye didn't feel it.

"Forgive me General, we first have to get as far away as pos...." Jiang Ye stopped mid-sentence when they heard some footsteps and this made him move too close to the wall.

Seeing that his head was about to be hit to the wall made Si Ning raised his hand to cover his head as he readied himself, he closed his eyes for the impact that never came and when he opened his eyes, he could see it was just an inch left for his head to hit the wall. Not wanting to make things difficult for Jiang Ye made Si Ning stayed still because he also had no idea who was approaching and also didn't want Xiu Zhicheng to see him. When the footsteps were gone, Jiang Ye started moving.

"Who goes there!"

Si Ning stiffed and he could hear a sword being unsheathed as Jiang Ye halted until his track and turned to face their company and before Si Ning could say a word, Jiang Ye lifted him and carefully placed him on the ground and drew Si Ning's head against his chest to secure Si Ning's identity from being exposed.

"Get away from her!"

Talk about bad luck, this was the worst, Si Ning clutched his cloth and turned to get a glimpse, and just as expected, they were seen by a troublesome person which was the head of the palace guards and Lin Fan being there means Xiu Zhicheng was probably around. Lin Fan was few feet from them but Jiang Ye was quick to draw Si Ning's head and then carefully stepped forward as he pulled Si Ning behind him, now using his whole body to block Si Ning from view. This made Si Ning clutched to the back of Jiang Ye's robe because he was going to prevent his face from being seen at all cost because his situation was absurd and worst of it was he was wearing female clothing, he panted, opening his mouth to breath easily as sweat trailed down his face as he shifted his foot slightly to allow blood flow to his legs to make it come alive.

No matter how Si Ning looked at the situation, it was just like he had been kidnapped by Jiang Ye and worst he had been drugged which made him staggered as he clutched to Jiang Ye's robe and he was afraid to say a word which might expose his identity and even if they prove that he and Jiang Ye were together would not make Lin Fan leave without confirming their Identity before they leave.

"General I will fight him, I want you to run as far as possible and you were never here." Jiang Ye whispered taking out a handkerchief and lifted it to cover half of his face because it was dark and Lin Fan was quite far away which means he haven't seen his face.

Si Ning raised his hand to grab his robe and pulled it to prevent his chest from revealing and the other hand to clutch to Jiang Ye's robe refusing to let go.

"General please." Jiang Ye whispered with a hint of urgency, It was a tight situation for him, he couldn't prove he was protecting Si Ning because Lin Fan mustn't see his face. No one must know General Si Ning came to the XiXi tavern to see Qiu Bai.

"Run!" Jiang Ye yelled suddenly and pushed Si Ning back and at that moment he jumped and ran to clash his sword with Lin Fan.

Si Ning lifted his skirt and ran to the opposite direction and this time tears started to flow from his eyes because he had never imagined that there would be a day he would be running to save himself while leaving his precious Servant and his two guards behind to cover for him.
