Jiang Huaiyu's back was pressed tightly against the mountain wall. She looked around and found that the two of them had completely blocked all her escape routes. There was really no way to escape.
She gave up the futile struggle and calmly asked, "Do you intend to escort me to the capital?"
The two looked slightly surprised. "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"
Jiang Huaiyu smiled contemptuously, "Since that's the case, then the answer is already decided. Did the person who ordered you to arrest me tell you that they wanted to take my life? You should be able to give me that answer, right?"

Where are the others?"
Yesterday she clearly saw many unfamiliar faces, who should all be with these two. Why is it that today, when they set off, there are only the two of them?
