Chapter 163: Shu'er, go on your journey with peace of mind
However, Li Qinghuan glanced at the Zhennan Army with an uneasy expression, "I'm afraid that the leader of the bandits is only Wu Yanei!"
These soldiers came to the capital dressed as ordinary people and were not accompanied by any military officers.
The Zhennan Army is not like the Deng Family Army and the Han Family Army. They do not have a designated general to lead them and only obey the orders of the holder of the military token.
And this military token had already been taken by the Wu family!
After hearing what Li Qinghuan said, Deng Youning looked at Wu Yanei with anger in his eyes, and the murderous aura was approaching quietly like a poisonous snake.
Wu Yanei himself naturally sensed this strong murderous intent, but he did not take it seriously at all.
"I've already told you that I have no intention of leaving alive tonight."
"Even if you kill me, these people will not be threatened."
At this point, he suddenly adjusted his tone, with a hint of amusement, "How about we make a deal?"
Deng Youning raised an eyebrow, "Just speak frankly, don't talk nonsense!"
Wu Yanei seemed to like her violent temper and was happy when she was mean to him.
"County Lady Youning, as long as you hand over the antidote that you used to poison the crown prince in Shengzhou, I will show mercy to the remaining villagers and your friends and release one of them!"
There was a strange happiness in his eyes, like staring into the abyss, and a sick smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He wanted Deng Youning to make a choice: to save those villagers who had nothing to do with her, or to save her cousin, sisters, and subordinates?
The only task he led today was to massacre the entire village, but he did not expect that Jun Chenyi and Li Tianzhuo had already arranged stalkers in the village, asking them to arrive in time to disrupt the situation.
Now that you are here, why not make good use of it and have some fun?
If we can really kill the Ninth Prince, wouldn't it be better than killing a village of useless people?
"Master Li, I'm sorry, we have caused you trouble."
Jun Chenyi is ready to die at any time, but Li Qinghuan is not innocent!
"If I can really save those villagers, my death will be worthy!"
Li Qinghuan gave his own answer.
"County Lady, we are also willing to die!"
Jiang Yuan led the three remaining Silver Dragon Guards and bowed.
Deng Youning frowned, and the emotion in his eyes became colder.
"Haha, Wu Yanei, why do you think I will give you the antidote so easily?"
"We have the Prince of Dongji buried with us, so you can kill him if you want!"
Between the two options, Deng Youning simply chose to refuse to do the questions, which fundamentally made it impossible for him to continue playing the game.
Wu Yanei was so angry that his eyes were twitching.
“Kill them!”
“Leave no one behind!”
He ordered the Zhennan Army to quickly deal with these people.
Just at this moment, Li Tianzhuo and Xiu Ming, who had been hiding, came back, and they also tied up a woman.
In the light of the fire, the woman's pale face was full of fear.
"Uncle, save me——"
Jun Wenshu cried out.
This time it is Li Tianzhuo's turn to make a choice for Wu Yanei!
As soon as Li Tianzhuo and his servant came with Jun Wenshu, everyone present fell silent instantly.
In the dead silent night, the only sound that could be heard was Jun Wenshu's painful cries.
Lin'an County is far from the capital and requires a one or two day journey.
Upon hearing the news of her grandmother's death, Jun Wenshu rushed to attend the funeral, but with her pampered body, it took her four or five days to arrive.
Just now, the reason why Li Tianzhuo was able to leave Deng Youning, Jun Chenyi and others behind and hide away alone was because he received a tip-off that Jun Wenshu's carriage was nearby.
He and Xiu Ming rushed over together, kidnapped Jun Wenshu, and see what Wu Yanei would do!
"Li Tianzhuo, you scum, you are committing treason, let me go."
Jun Wenshu kept crying and cursing, but it was of no use.
Li Tianzhuo acted as if she didn't exist.
"Azhuo, well done!"
Deng Youning also came to Li Tianzhuo and looked at him with admiration.
Li Tianzhuo smiled shyly, leaning his head back and pursing his lips.
It's a rare opportunity for Ning Ning to praise him!
Although Jun Chenyi and Li Qinghuan didn't say anything, their eyes were full of affirmation for Li Tianzhuo.
As expected of Lord Li, he always manages to give them surprises!
"How is it? Wu Yanei!"
"Release those villagers and withdraw these Zhennan troops, otherwise your niece will die!"
Li Tianzhuo asked in a lazy and playful tone.
His mental state is much crazier than Wu Yanei!
"Li Tianzhuo, don't mess around. She is still a princess after all. She is different from those lowly people."
Wu Yanei was obviously panicked. If the Queen knew that he failed to save Shu'er, she would probably hate him in the future.
"Oh, that's ridiculous."
"You, Wu Yanei, are not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid?"
"Maybe in the underworld, you and I can still be companions!"
Li Tianzhuo raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly, and a hint of playful ridicule flashed across his face, as if he had already seen through that Wu Yanei was also at the end of his strength and was still holding on.
"I am also very curious, Seventh Sister, will your uncle save you?"
Jun Chenyi seemed to be waiting to see a joke, and his words were full of sarcasm towards Jun Wenshu.
"Uncle, you are my real uncle, you can't just ignore me!"
"If you save me today, I will let my mother help you become the head of the Wu family. When my brother, the crown prince, takes the throne in the future, you, my little uncle, will be made a marquis and appointed as a prime minister."
Jun Wenshu could only use these sweet words to calm Wu Yanei's restless heart and make him choose her.
Wu Yanei's face was darker than the night.
After a while, he seemed to have finally figured it out. With a gloomy face, he smiled strangely at Jun Wenshu.
"Shu'er, go on your journey with peace of mind. From now on, my uncle will burn paper for you on this day every year."
"As for those who want to kill you, I won't spare any of them!"
Just like Deng Youning did last time, he chose to ruin the question by directly choosing between the two options.
If Jun Wenshu died, then it would be justified for me to kill these people today, even if I didn't have evidence that the Deng and Han families were harboring people from Nanxin.
Before anyone could react to his brutality and ruthlessness, he had already drawn his bow and shot an arrow, wanting to send Jun Wenshu off with his own hands.
Jun Wenshu struggled to escape and bit Xiu Ming.
After Xiu Ming let her go, she wanted to hide aside and ran to a deserted place.
The night was too dark and she couldn't see the road ahead. As she was running, she suddenly felt her feet hanging in the air.
She started, but it was too late.
"Shu'er, don't go over there, there's a cliff over there—"
Wu Yanei also reacted, and hurriedly shouted loudly, stretching out Erkang's hand, trying to hold her.
However, everyone still heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
When everyone ran over to see, Jun Wenshu had already fallen down.
The cliff is several feet high and bottomless.
Even if she survives, she will be paralyzed for life.
"Shu'er——"
Wu Yanei lay on the edge of the cliff and shouted loudly.
"What are you waiting for? Go down and save them!"
He would only order the soldiers of the Zhennan Army to look for Jun Wenshu. He wanted to find her alive or dead.
After standing up from the ground, he looked at Li Tianzhuo, Deng Youning and the others with bloodshot eyes.
Another blood debt!
"kill!"
He picked up the knife himself and rushed forward.
“Whoosh!”
Before he could get close, Deng Yan'an, who came to support him, shot an arrow directly into his thigh, forcing him to kneel down in the direction of Deng Youning.
