Chapter 363 It depends on whether Xie Zhao dares to gamble

Jiang Yuzhu's body was imprisoned. She closed her eyes and sighed sadly.

She was just a little bit away from escaping.

Having fallen into Lu Yunxi's hands again, this guy no longer trusts her.

The more you say and the more mistakes you make in front of the crazy critic, the more crazy he will become. Jiang Yuzhu gritted her teeth and endured it, not daring to make any noise.

"Jiang Yuzhu, how many of your words are true?"

Lu Yunxi's eyes were red and filled with a bone-chilling coldness. He used one hand to cut Jiang Yuzhu's neck.

Without any mercy, another cut was made on the white neck and blood gushed out.

The huge pain and panic almost overwhelmed Jiang Yuzhu. Her mind was in a mess but she had to force herself to calm down. She gritted her teeth and said, "This is all true, but why should I believe you?"

"What good will it be if I help you fulfill your wish? I will definitely be the first to be silenced."

As long as Jiang Yuzhu said something, Lu Yunxi would be angry. She could only gamble that Lu Yunxi still hoped to use her to get things done and did not want to send her to see the King of Hell immediately.

But he was caught a second time, and his hope of escape was slim.

Lu Yunxi's mouth curled up into a strange smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He bent down and whispered in Jiang Yuzhu's ear, "This makes a huge difference. Diing first or later, whether you can leave a complete body, and even whether your beautiful face and eyeballs can be preserved intact..."

A moist and slightly cool breath came to Jiang Yuzhu's ears, and she felt cold all over. In her heart, she wanted to curse Lu Yunxi's ancestors, but her mind was working rapidly, thinking about how to escape the immediate danger.

Live in the present, try to be comfortable, and worry about the future later.

"Cousin, I understand if you say that."

Jiang Yuzhu pointed at the sky and said, "It's cold on rainy days. If I get sick with a fever, our plan will be delayed."

"Humph, Jiang Yuzhu, you really know the current situation."

Lu Yunxi sneered twice. He had never seen such a silver-tongued and cowardly person.

Jiang Yuzhu covered the wound on her neck and said with resentment: "You have seen it now."

Lu Yunxi: “…”

One word from him can decide Jiang Yuzhu's life or death. Even at this critical juncture, Jiang Yuzhu still dares to argue!

After completing his mission, Lu Yunxi will definitely pry open Jiang Yuzhu's head to see what is inside.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain was hitting the ground, leaving deep and shallow pits.

A few dozen meters outside the city wall, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came.

Countless lanterns looked like a long dragon. Even though the light was dim in the rainy night, one could still tell that there were quite a few people there.

Lu Yunxi carried Jiang Yuzhu to the city wall and looked down. His eyes trembled slightly, without any warmth in them. He said sarcastically, "Jiang Yuzhu, your lover is here to save you!"

In front of the crowd, the person riding a horse was Xie Zhao.

When Xie Zhao found his lair, Lu Yunxi looked at Jiang Yuzhu meaningfully.

"Not a lover, but a husband."

The distance was too far, so Jiang Yuzhu couldn't see Xie Zhao's expression. The pain from the wound clearly reminded her that what she was seeing was not a nightmare, but reality.

Xie Zhao brought people to rescue her, but the timing was bad.

It happened that Jiang Yuzhu was held hostage by Lu Yunxi and was at the mercy of others.

On a rainy night, the two sides were not far apart. Xie Zhao's men held bows and crossbows and aimed at the direction of the city wall.

Seeing this, Lu Yunxi pushed Jiang Yuzhu to the front to act as a meat shield and shamelessly hid behind her.

"Master, what should I do?"

Outside the city gate, Hong Jin and Hong Xiu, who followed, looked pale and panic-stricken.

Even if their people surrounded the enemy and their wives were in the enemy's hands, they dared not act rashly.

Xie Zhao lowered his eyes, raised his hand to make a stop gesture, and said in a clear voice with the sound of rain: "Lu Yunxi, you are already surrounded by enemies on all sides, just surrender."

The purpose of tricking Lu Yunxi to Xinyang was, on the one hand, to buy time for Fugui and Wanwan, and on the other hand, to catch all the remaining followers of Lu Yunxi.

All the credit goes to his wife.

Xie Zhao's hands holding the reins turned pale, and he managed not to fall off the horse. It was because he was a step too late!

In front of his men, Xie Zhao did not reveal his emotions and tried his best to remain calm.

"What kind of joke did I hear?"

Lu Yunxi sneered, mocking Xie Zhao's naivety.

As long as Jiang Yuzhu is in hand, there is still one last trump card.

Seeing Xie Zhao pulling the bow and shooting an arrow, Lu Yunxi narrowed his eyes, held Jiang Yuzhu in front of him and said, "Xie Zhao, you have to find the right position, don't miss the target."

The two were gambling, both gambling on the importance of Jiang Yuzhu.

Lu Yunxi is not a fool. After being fooled several times, he saw through Xie Zhao's tactics.

It turns out that Xie Zhao had deliberately hired someone to assassinate someone in order to send a message to Jiang Yuzhu!

The couple conspired together, with perfect tacit understanding, and made fun of him as a fool.

If he hadn't returned early because of a bad premonition, Jiang Yuzhu would have escaped!

"Xie Zhao, you are known as a fortune teller, but did you expect this? If you succeed today by killing your wife, you will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame."

As Lu Yunxi spoke, he took out a dagger and slashed Jiang Yuzhu's neck twice.

However, this time the action was relatively minor and only caused superficial injuries.

"Tell your people to retreat a mile, otherwise it won't just be a single blow."

Half of Lu Yunxi's face was illuminated by the firelight, and the other half was in the shadow where no light could reach. He stretched out his hand and pinched Jiang Yuzhu's neck, with veins bulging on the back of his hand.

Jiang Yuzhu's eyes went dark, her body went limp and she was about to fall down, and Lu Yunxi lifted her clothes again.

This scene was too dazzling, and Xie Zhaoru felt like he was hit hard, and his heart was in great pain.

Unable to maintain his composure any longer, Xie Zhao held back the sweet taste in his throat, took a deep breath and asked, "Lu Yunxi, what are your conditions?"

"I can plead with the Emperor on your behalf, considering that you are a royal family member..."

Xie Zhao's body was soaked by the rain and he felt cold.

The best plan for now is to stabilize Lu Yunxi. Xie Zhao only wants Jiang Yuzhu, so he is one step behind.

Once Jiang Yuzhu follows Lu Yunxi into the mountains, it will be more difficult for us to take action.

"Plead for mercy? As a royal relative, will Xiao She be willing to give up the throne to me?"

Lu Yunxi was too lazy to expose Xiao She's hypocrisy. He smiled bloodthirstyly and said, "I have changed my mind. Now I just want to see how far you are willing to go for Jiang Yuzhu."

As he spoke, Lu Yunxi ordered his men to take out a rope and tie it around Jiang Yuzhu's ankles, pretending to throw her off the city gate.

Jiang Yuzhu was afraid of heights and cursed, "Lu Yunxi, I'm not your enemy, so what's the point of taking your anger out on a woman?"

If it were the case before, Jiang Yuzhu's provocation might have worked a bit, but now that they were surrounded, Lu Yunxi risked everything and shouted, "If you want her to live, kneel down before me!"

Xie Zhao is Xiao She's confidant and a first-rank official. Lu Yunxi has been unable to defeat Xie Zhao several times.

He felt very comfortable now that he had the opportunity to rub Xie Zhao's dignity to the ground.

Perhaps, Xie Zhao also knew that he would not kill Jiang Yuzhu, it just depended on whether Xie Zhao dared to take the gamble.
