"Isn't that right?" Wu Suo held up Qin Ruoruo's hand and showed it to Yu Wenran and Gu Yanyue, saying coldly, "If you were beggars, your hands would never be this white, and your nails wouldn't be this clean."
Seeing that Yuwen Ran and the others didn't say anything, Wu Suo continued to talk on his own, "Besides, I just reminded you that Qianzhou is suffering from a severe drought and there is no food. You still want to go to Qianzhou. This is abnormal no matter how you look at it. At a time like this, I actually know someone who is determined to go to Qianzhou no matter what. If I'm not mistaken, you should be the people I guessed, right?"
Yuwen Ran hadn't expected Wu Suo to observe so carefully. He, Gu Yanyue, and Qin Ruoruo had paid attention to every part of their bodies. They had made themselves slovenly, but they had only forgotten to take care of their hands and nails, which gave Wu Suo the opportunity to guess their identities.
"Master Jun, what on earth are you talking about?"
Yu Wenran thought quickly and felt that pretending to be confused was the best solution at the moment. If he could really get away with it, it would mean that God was blessing them.
"We're originally from Xuzhou. We run a small business and have people to take care of us. We went to Qianzhou City because we heard about the severe drought in Qianzhou and wanted to bring some food to help out. But we didn't expect that all the things we brought with us would be robbed by bandits on the way here. They even took our clothes and jewelry."
"After the things were robbed, we wanted to return home. But my wife and her sister's family are still in Qianzhou. No matter what you say, I can't abandon my father-in-law, right?"
"You're a good son-in-law?" Wu Suo suddenly smiled at Yuwen Ran. That smile was not an ordinary smile, it gave people a creepy feeling. The moment he looked at Yuwen Ran, it made Yuwen Ran feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Yu Wenran rubbed his hands and lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes. He tried his best to pretend to be afraid. "Yes, after all, they married their daughter to me. I have to be responsible for them no matter what I say."
"I didn't know the Empress's family was actually from Qianzhou." Wu Suo kept tightening his grip on Qin Ruoruo's hand, causing her brows to furrow. It was so painful. But Wu Suo seemed oblivious, and continued to tighten his grip on Qin Ruoruo's hand, saying to Yuwen Ran, "Your Majesty, if you keep pretending, I can't guarantee that I won't do anything to this young lady."
When Yuwen Ran heard this, he knew their identities were completely exposed. He looked up at Wu Suo with a cold look on his face: "Let her go. I know it's me you want to kill. She's just a doctor accompanying you."
"If Your Majesty wants this young lady to be safe, you must at least show some sincerity, right?" Wu Suo was still in the speculation stage. He had originally captured this young lady with the mentality of trying to see if he could blow Yuwen Ran out. He didn't expect that he would be blown out at the first try. It can be seen that this young lady is still very important to them.
Yuwen Ran first gave Gu Yanyue a look that said don't worry, then he took a few steps towards Wu Suo and Qin Ruoruo, raised his hands, and asked, "Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it one by one, but the corresponding condition is that you release the people in your hands and don't hurt those innocent people."
Wu Suo nodded, agreeing with Yuwen Ran's suggestion. "My original target was you. As long as you come over here obediently, I will immediately release this young lady in my hands, and I swear I will never lay a hand on your queen. What do you think?"
"Okay." Yu Wenran agreed immediately, then strode towards Wu Suo.
Wu Suo really kept his word. When Yuwen Ran walked by and was pushed to the ground by the person behind him, Wu Suo released Qin Ruoruo as he said. Yuwen Ran gave Qin Ruoruo a look, telling her to run to Gu Yanyue quickly.
Qin Ruoruo glanced at Yuwen Ran. If she hadn't been so careless and exposed her hands and nails, Yuwen Ran would never have been threatened by the "no bishop" people. It was not until Gu Yanyue urged her that Qin Ruoruo moved her feet and went towards Gu Yanyue.
The moment Wu Suo heard Gu Yanyue calling Qin Ruoruo, he chuckled softly at Yu Wenran, "Look, when you came over to exchange for that young lady, your queen wasn't worried. On the contrary, that young lady is now safe, and she's still worried about whether we'll recapture her. You, the queen, care more about that young lady than you do about her husband. It's rare for a person to do this."
He originally wanted to provoke Yuwen Ran, but Yuwen Ran said indifferently: "That doctor saved our lives. It is only right and proper for him to do so."
The moment Qin Ruoruo came over, Gu Yanyue made a gesture to Yuwen Ran, then took Qin Ruoruo's hand and ran towards Qianzhou.
Seeing this scene, Wu Suo laughed even more happily, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with your queen? Why is she running away with that young lady now, and running so fast, not even willing to turn her head to look at you again. It seems that you, her husband, really don't hold a good position in her heart."
"My Lord Chief, I'm afraid you don't know that husband and wife are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they each fly away." Yu Wenran continued in his voice, "I don't blame her for this. I can only blame my bad luck."
Yuwen Ran watched Gu Yanyue and Qin Ruoruo disappear from his sight. He didn't know why Wu Suo wasn't in a hurry to kill him. Perhaps he figured that with so many people around him, even if he had wings, he wouldn't be able to escape, so he lowered his guard. He even had time to chat with him, though one was standing, the other pinned to the ground.
Yuwen Ran also hoped that Wu Suo could chat with him for a while longer, so as to buy enough time for Gu Yanyue and Qin Ruoruo to escape. When Wu Suo was tired of chatting with him, Yuwen Ran estimated the time in his mind and thought that Gu Yanyue and Qin Ruoruo should have escaped by now.
So Yuwen Ran suddenly exerted force and shook away all the men in black who were pressing on him. Then, because Yuwen Ran did not bring Gu Yanyue with him this time, he fully demonstrated his strength in lightness skills and quickly left the group of men in black behind him.
However, there were still dozens of men in black with good martial arts skills following behind him.
