Chapter 49 Kneeling Despite her tears at this moment...

Even though her tears were for others and she was afraid because she was worried that Cui Miao would die, Yang Yan had not dared to admit it for so many years. What he hated most was seeing her like this.

"Didn't you ask me to come over? Now that I'm here, you let them go." Under the moonlight, Yang Yan stood tall and straight.

Although he was destined to be a prisoner, he was not afraid at all.

What Lu Shichu couldn't stand the most was Yang Yan's behavior. Even though he was about to die, he still had such a condescending attitude.

"Don't you want to know where that letter came from? Look, my junior sister is fine, not injured, not bleeding. She wrote that letter just to trick you. To trick you into coming to the Western Rong camp, to trick you into dying. Because she couldn't bear to see Cui Miao suffer, she chose to send you to this dangerous place."

Lu Shichu knew what Yang Yan cared about, so he chose to say the most hurtful words.

Before coming, Zhou Jiu had actually been persuading Yang Yan, telling him that Chai Heng would not sit and wait for death, that she had martial arts skills and could escape on her own.

I also told him that this letter was most likely a lie from Lu Shichu, and that if he went, the chances of him coming back alive would be slim. But how could he not come?

This is Chai Heng's handwriting. He can recognize it no matter how crooked it is.

In the letter, she said she was scared and that she had lost a lot of blood. He certainly thought that this might be Lu Shichu's trick, but when he saw the wrinkled letter paper, his heart felt like it was being rubbed hard.

Yang Yan has known Chai Heng for such a long time, he knows that she has never been a crybaby. No matter how much grievance or sadness she suffered in her previous life, she would never cry like this.

He couldn't imagine what had happened to her, so he still came even though he knew there was danger.

Now that he saw that she was safe and sound, he felt relieved. He felt relieved that she was fine and not injured at all.

"Lord Lu, why do you need to say so much? It's about Yang's life. I'm already standing here. You just need to let them go as we agreed before." Yang Yan smiled faintly, looking calm, obviously not irritated by Lu Shichu's words.

Chai Heng was holding Cui Miao, and only later realized that Yang Yan had arrived.

"Your life is in the hands of the Tuoba royal family, and I have no say. But the lives of Ah Heng and Cui Miao are mine."

"Yang Yan, kneel down and beg me. I will let them go."

When Lu Shichu met Yang Yan before, Yang Yan always looked down on him. Now that he finally had such an opportunity to teach this arrogant and conceited man a lesson, how could he give it up?

The air stagnated for a moment.

Chai Heng couldn't believe that these were the words of her senior brother. If he captured her and Cui Miao to exchange for Yang Yan at the behest of Tuoba Ye, then humiliating Yang Yan like this was purely a personal venting.

"Don't kneel to him!"

"Yang Yan, he's a despicable villain who pretends to be so noble and dignified. He doesn't deserve it!"

Before she could speak to stop Yang Yan, Cui Miao had already cursed through gritted teeth.

"Yes, I am a villain. But I pretend well enough. If I pretend for a lifetime, Lord Cui, you may have to be my brother for the rest of your life." Lu Shichu smiled, with a cunning light in his eyes.

"Bah! Who called you brother? I was blind and mistook you for mine!" Cui Miao's chest heaved. If he hadn't had a knife or a gun with him at this moment, he would have stabbed Lu Shichu three times and made six holes in him.

Lu Shichu didn't care about Cui Miao's anger; he only cared about Yang Yan. "What do you think? Kneel or not?" He said this and winked at the soldier standing behind Cui Miao and Chai Heng. A large knife was immediately placed on Chai Heng's neck. Her skin was white as snow. The moment the knife was placed on her neck, a bloody mark was immediately left.

Yang Yan's expression changed.

"You tell them to put down the knife, and I'll kneel."

Without any hesitation, he knelt down in front of Lu Shichu.

It is meaningless to make a servile person kneel down. The most interesting thing is to make a tough person kneel down to you.

Lu Shichu raised the corners of his lips and laughed out loud: "That's not enough, kowtow to me three more times, say that you were blind in the past, and beg me to forgive your mistakes, then I will pull the knife away."

Yang Yan's back stiffened, and he clenched his fists beneath his sleeves. But even after hearing this, he still lowered his forehead to the ground. The cold ground against his skin was so cold that it made him shiver all over.

"I was blind before. Please...please don't bear grudges against me." He said in a trembling voice, gritting his teeth.

With a "bang", a blood mark appeared on the head.

Lu Shichu felt that he didn't kowtow enough.

"This force is not strong enough, hit it again."

His forehead hit the ground with a heavier thud.

Such a humiliating scene made Cui Miao curse even more harshly.

Chai Heng had a knife on her neck. The moment she saw Yang Yan coming, her mind was dazed. Only now did she regain some clarity.

She took a deep breath, and while the soldier with the knife was stunned, she hooked her leg back and kicked the knife away. Because the knife was too close to her neck, it still left a shallow wound. Fortunately, it did not injure the meridians. She stood up, covering her neck, pulled out the dagger from her waist, and threw it directly at Lu Shichu.

At the same time, she wanted to pull Yang Yan up.

"stand up."

"Don't kneel him."

Lu Shichu's arm was cut by the dagger she threw, and blood immediately oozed out of the wound. He was extremely angry because of the pain. Chai Heng happened to be in front of him. She squatted down and wanted to help Yang Yan up, but Lu Shichu kicked her.

Yang Yan's face turned cold, and when Lu Shichu was about to kick her, he had already protected her in his arms. His kick was extremely hard, and although it was on the back, it still made Yang Yan's throat smell bloody.

He felt a fishy-sweet taste in his throat and wanted to suppress it for fear of scaring Chai Heng, but he failed and still spat out the blood.

"I'm fine."

"Don't worry about me."

Yang Yan looked at Chai Heng's worried eyes and laughed. He didn't know how long it had been since he had seen her look like that.

Chai Heng looked as if she was burned by something and immediately withdrew her gaze. At this point, she no longer thought that her senior brother would really let them go.

As expected, Lu Shichu walked up to them and said, "I wanted to let you go. It's a pity, Junior Sister, you didn't listen."

"In that case, I'll keep you locked up for a few more days."

"It just so happens that tomorrow I will send Master Yang to Tuoba Ye. It's hard to predict whether he will be alive or dead by then, and you will never see him again. This night is just right for you to catch up on the past. Senior brother is not completely heartless, is he?"

Lu Shichu had feelings for Chai Heng, but when he thought of Yang Yan, such a proud man, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, a twisted sense of pleasure welled up in his heart.

He broke his promise and got fat.

Instead of letting Chai Heng go, they locked them up again.

Cui Miao was still imprisoned in the same tent as before, and Chai Heng and Yang Yan were imprisoned in the same tent.

Chai Heng didn't know how to face Yang Yan. She was the one who tricked him here. She knew she was tricking him into dying, but she still did it.

Because she didn't know what to say to him, Chai Heng continued to talk to Cui Miao across the tent. It was not until Cui Miao was about to rest that she seemed to remember Yang Yan who was also in the tent.

When Cui Miao was injured before, she would cry sadly, but she didn't know why, maybe because she was too sad for this person in her previous life, she didn't shed any tears when she saw him.

She took out the medicine she carried with her from her sleeve, was silent for a while, and squatted quietly in front of Yang Yan without saying anything.

"Lower your head." Chai Heng said.

Yang Yan bent down obediently.

Chai Heng used her fingers to smear some medicine from the bottle and applied it to his forehead.

She hadn't treated him like this for a long time, and this realization made Yang Yan cherish this moment even more.

Just now when she was talking to Cui Miao across the curtain, he also wanted to say, Chai Heng, please pay attention to me.

But he didn't dare. He was like a child asking for reward and didn't dare to overstep the line.

"Why did you come?" Chai Heng put away the bottle of medicine and put it back into his sleeve.

"I thought you were scared. I want you to stop being afraid." He smiled faintly, and when he said this, Chai Heng felt a strange pain in his nose.

"I'm afraid because I'm worried about Cui Miao, it has nothing to do with you. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't feel guilty, but now that you're here, Yang Yan, I don't know what to do."

"I know what you want now, but I can't give it to you. I can't love you anymore, and I won't look back. Even if you die for me in this Xirong camp, it will still be the same."

"So you came to the wrong place. You shouldn't have come."

Her heart is sometimes soft and sometimes as hard as a rock.

But the soft moments were given to others, leaving only the hard moments for him.
