Chapter 57: The despicable and stubborn person who wants to possess her love wants to possess her...

The knife was suddenly placed on her neck, and Ye Jindian was a little confused.

Before she heard the noise, she was clearly the only person in the Ten-Mile Peach Forest on the top of the mountain.

Where did these people come from? Why are they wearing armor? Why is there so much blood on the armor? And why are they being chased here by my brother?

Could it be that the important matter that my husband was talking about is this?

She pursed her lips, trying to calm her breathing and chaotic thoughts, and calm herself down.

Ye Jindian was confused, and the secret guard was even more confused than her.

How could there be a passage under the peach tree? What a coincidence that it leads directly to my sister-in-law's feet!

Seeing more than thirty people crawling out of the passage one after another, their scalps were about to explode.

Just as they were about to show up to protect the people, Zhang Min, who had climbed up, gestured to them, indicating that they should continue to lie low and act according to the circumstances.

The secret guard who was about to leave from the dark had to continue to hold back.

"Are you Du Hong?" Zhang Min looked at the golden armor on the other person, and his eyes slid across Ye Jindian's neck stained with a trace of red. The pupils under the golden mask shrank, and the bottom of his eyes were dark.

He took a steady breath, stared at the other person, and took two steps forward.

When sweeping through the various forces in the south, he fought against the Shi family army several times, but never against Du Hong's army.

“Stop!”

Du Hong tightened his hands on Ye Jindian's shoulders and cautiously pulled her back.

The Ghost-Faced General is a terrible nightmare for everyone, and no one is not afraid of him approaching.

After all, the other side not only acts as the vanguard in battle, but also attacks swiftly and recklessly.

He had no doubt that if he could capture him, the other party would most likely use his flesh and blood to block his knife and exchange half his life for his.

The bones were pinched and Ye Jindian frowned and groaned softly, then he gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.

The hum she uttered was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone.

But Zhang Min heard it.

He stopped and looked at Du Hong coldly.

After a moment, a little smile came out of his throat: "Are you threatening me with her?"

How dare he!

Luo Ying and the others who followed him to the top of the mountain felt the cold sweat on their backs being blown away by the cold wind, and the chill penetrated their muscles and reached their spines.

The commotion here is quite big.

The guards at the pavilion soon discovered something was going on, came to investigate, and reported back to the hostess who had woken up lazily after everything became quiet.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng snatched the red tasseled spear that the maid was holding for her.

When the hostess opened her eyes, she had already jumped over the beauty chair and ran straight to the peach forest.

The maid murmured: "Princess, the second lady—"

"Follow me." The princess lazily raised her hand and placed it on the maid's arm. "There are only about thirty bandits, and there are more than two hundred of us. What are you afraid of?"

The maid was afraid that she would get hurt.

She has always been delicate, and even the slightest scratch would be three times more serious than that of others.

The princess rubbed her head, which was a little swollen from sleep, and said, "Besides, isn't the Right Prime Minister still here?"

She just watched the fun from a distance.

By the way, lend some manpower to Zhang Heng.

As long as the other party does not have extraordinary abilities, he cannot hurt her, a mere spectator, under the nose of the Right Prime Minister.

The princess threw away the thin blanket and waved lazily, "Let's go."

The maidservant couldn't persuade him, so she had to ask the guards to keep a tighter watch, with three layers of guard inside and three layers of guard outside to protect the person in a high place.

The princess randomly selected fifty people and asked them to stand behind Zhang Heng and obey his command.

Du Hong, who was aiming at Zhang Heng and preparing to use it as a retreat route, lost the initiative in an instant.

Ye Jindian glanced at the back road blocked by Zhang Min, and then at the front road blocked by Zhang Heng, and felt that the man dressed as a general behind her was probably doomed.

Du Hong whispered to the somewhat embarrassed scholar beside him, "Sir, they have already guarded both paths on this mountain. How are we supposed to break through?"

Ye Jindian smelled a strong smell of blood behind her.

But the hand holding the sword in front of him, with bulging veins, only had tiny scratches from branches and stones, and the blade was clean and shiny.

Very strange.

The scholar also seemed a little hesitant.

But he would never consider passing under Zhang Min's nose.

"Use this woman to threaten the woman guarding the mountain pass. They must be friends who came here together. As long as they give way and escape from this mountain, I don't believe they can search the vast East Mountain!" The scholar said gritting his teeth.

Du Hong snorted, "I said there was something wrong with that guy named Fu Feng. If it weren't for him, the brothers wouldn't have fallen into this state."

When they sense something is wrong, they want to retreat.

But that kid Fufeng actually brought the troops from Nandu and cut off their retreat, forcing them to flee to Dongshan in a hurry.

"I've always thought this plan wouldn't work. There's no need to rush all at once and go straight to Shengjing to seize the throne." Du Hong said angrily. "If we take Nandu and stand across the long river facing Shengjing, then neither side will be able to do anything to us."

At most, the world will be divided into two, which is not as good as unifying it.

The scholar's face also showed some anger and displeasure: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's send that woman away quickly."

The Ghost-Faced General's gaze was like a thorn in the back, which was really unbearable.

Du Hong could only hold his breath and pull Ye Jindian back towards Zhang Heng.

The road to the top of the mountain is not flat, with many rocks and clods of earth.

The other party pulled and tugged at her, causing Ye Jindian to stumble and fall several times, only to be dragged up again by the arms.

Zhang Min's eyes became increasingly cold and terrifying.

Under the golden mask, his dark eyes kept following the other person's throat, locking it tightly.

The more than 30 people following Du Hong couldn't help but hold the ring knife in one hand and rub the back of their cold necks with the other.

Ye Jindian was carrying a bamboo basket on her back, and the bamboo strips frequently brushed against the armor on Du Hong's arms and shoulders.

The other party impatiently pulled off her backpack and threw it aside.

The backpack rolled several times on the ground, and the peach blossoms inside were knocked out, with half of them falling into the mud.

"Go!"

Seeing that she was motionless, Du Hong pushed her.

Ye Jindian looked at the peach blossoms covered in mud and felt a little angry.

The beauty of April is over, and it is a rare thing to have peach blossoms in May.

Only on the high and cold peak of Dongshan Mountain can you find two or three complete peach branches.

She suddenly remembered the regretful look on her husband's face when he mentioned this matter.

Looking at the peach branches rolling in the mud, an inexplicable anger ignited in my heart that could not be extinguished.

The palms hanging by his sides were quietly clenched into fists.

They were now close to Zhang Heng.

Du Hong held the knife tighter in his hand. "We don't want to hurt anyone. We just want to escape. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way. Once we reach the foot of the mountain, we'll let your friend go."

Ye Jindian was forced to tilt her head back.

She gave Zhang Heng a look that said "no".

There were only more than thirty people on the other side. More than ten of them had to be on guard against the brother behind, and more than ten of them had to be on guard against the nobleman standing on the high ground, for fear that the arrows in the hands of the guards would fall on them.

The remaining ten people stood behind this man, guarding against the guards on both sides of Zhang Heng.

She took out the iron spike from her waist and felt that she still had a chance.

When Zhang Heng saw the iron spike she hid in her sleeve, she almost couldn't help revealing her identity.

My sister-in-law is too adventurous!!

But Ye Jindian looked determined and wanted to carry out this plan.

If Zhang Heng did not cooperate with her actions and revealed his true colors, he would be more likely to be hurt by the other party out of anger and embarrassment.

"Okay." After a moment, Zhang Heng put away his red tassel spear and gestured to the people behind him, clearing a path through the guards. "I can let you go, but you can't hurt her."

Du Hong held his breath and looked at the guards warily.

Take this opportunity!

Ye Jindian raised the iron awl in her hand and passed it through the iron ring.

With her hands clenched tightly, she pushed the ring knife out a little, lowered her body and knelt down to temporarily free her neck from the threat of the blade.

It’s this moment!

Zhang Heng raised her foot and kicked the red tassel spear. The spear flew like a dragon and slid towards Du Hong's face, leaving the other party no time to reach out and grab her sister-in-law.

The guards on both sides also drew their swords and stopped the people on both sides.

Ye Jindian rolled towards them and successfully escaped danger.

A guard reached out and helped her up, pulling her to a safe place at the back.

"Ahem—" Ye Jindian turned her head away, clenched her fist and coughed a few times, then said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

Now that the hostages are out of danger, the rest of the matter will be much easier.

Luo Ying felt that before they could even warm up, those people were killed by their prime minister without leaving a single soldier alive.

In the blink of an eye, only Du Hong and Wen Shi were left alive among the fleeing rebels.

The living person was tied up, gagged with cloth, and escorted with a sword.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Ye Jindian quickly walked around the crowd to retrieve her backpack.

The backpack was hanging on the edge of the cliff, and when the wind blew, it would roll over the soil and fall down.

"Hey, my peach branch!"

She then rushed towards the edge of the cliff.

Zhang Min's heart, which had been hanging in the air for a long time before he was able to let go, was suddenly lifted up again by her behavior, and it fluttered and swayed with the mountain wind.

It almost stopped in mid-air.

He rushed over quickly, lay on the ground and grabbed the person tightly.

"You're crazy!" The hand he was holding kept sliding down, and finally his worry overwhelmed his rationality. He couldn't help but growl, "It's just a broken bamboo basket, is it worth such a risk?!"

Ye Jindian subconsciously retorted: "That's not a broken bamboo basket, it's something my husband woven with his own hands."

Even he couldn't say that about the fruits of her husband's hard work.

Zhang Min gritted his teeth: "That's not worth it!"

It's just a bamboo basket.

If she wanted, he could make ten, a hundred, or even a thousand of them.

It's not worth her risking her money to get it back.

Ye Jindian didn't understand his sudden anger: "If the peach blossoms inside fall out and get broken, I won't be able to give it to my husband."

You can't really walk through the entire Ten Mile Peach Forest to find a few decent peach blossoms.

Zhang Min tightened his grip: "You like him so much!"

Just because he wanted to see the peach blossoms on Dongshan Mountain again, she would rather risk her life than let the flowers suffer any damage.

Ye Jindian looked up at him and said firmly, "Yes."

As the mountain breeze blew, the pale pink peach petals that had fallen from the branches of the peach forest fluttered down and fell on them.

For a moment, Zhang Min really wanted to tell her the truth regardless.

In fact, the person she likes is not the weak scholar she loves, nor is he so upright. He is just a despicable and naughty guy who wants to possess her love.

He doesn't deserve her love.

Luo Ying had been standing behind her Lord Prime Minister for a long time, and now she couldn't help but speak: "Ahem, Lord Prime Minister. Could you please let go and let my sister-in-law fall to the ground, or pull her up? I see my sister-in-law is hanging on her toes, and it must be very tiring."

Zhang Min: “???”

He pulled the man up and took a look.

Very good, under the soil was a narrow platform one person high, not the cliff he had imagined.
