Chapter 680: Falling into a Desperate Situation
At this moment, Zhao Jingxuan suddenly attacked and grabbed Ahua's neck.
"I'm a stranger who stumbled into this place by mistake. These two men saw me and wanted to arrest me. They even said they would burn me to death, so I drugged them to make them weak and threatened them to send me out!"
"Don't come near, or I'll kill her!"
Zhao Jingxuan exerted force, and Ah Hua's face showed pain.
Amu instantly understood Zhao Jingxuan's intention.
He wanted to distance himself from them.
Whether the villagers believe it or not, we have to give it a try first!
"Don't hurt my sister!" Amu said anxiously.
"Let them retreat!" Zhao Jingxuan said coldly.
Amu looked at the middle-aged man in a long robe who was leading the group and said, "Village witch, please save my sister."
The village witch looked serious and looked in one direction.
The next moment, an arrow as long as a finger suddenly shot out from that direction and hit Zhao Jingxuan's arm.
Zhao Jingxuan felt pain in his arm and his hand loosened, and was immediately pulled away by Amu.
Others rushed up and restrained Zhao Jingxuan.
Amu hugged Ahua.
Kun walked over and kicked Zhao Jingxuan hard, then looked at Amu and Ahua, brother and sister, with a malicious smile in his eyes.
Amu hugged his sister in his arms and looked at him coldly.
Zhao Jingxuan was taken away, while Ahua and Amu were sent back home, with two villagers guarding their door.
The brother and sister entered the room, and as soon as the door closed, Ah Hua started crying.
"Ah Xuan..."
"Axuan did this to protect us. Only when we are safe can we find a way to save him." Amu said.
Ah Hua nodded, she knew.
Otherwise, those who took in outsiders would be punished by God. Every villager would throw a stone. If they survived, it meant that God had decided to forgive them.
Ah Hua walked to the window and looked at the villagers standing guard outside. "So what's the point now? If they think we're in cahoots with Ah Xuan, why don't they lock us up in the dungeon? If they think we have nothing to do with Ah Xuan, why are they having people watching us?"
Amu always felt uneasy when he thought of Kun's eyes.
Kun saw Axuan saving Ahua, and he hated the brother and sister to the core, so why didn't he come out and expose them just now?
Or is there some other conspiracy?
"Brother, how can we save Axuan?" Ahua asked.
"Let me think about it." Amu said.
They can't even save themselves, how can they save Axuan?
If he were alone, he would fight them.
But, there is also my sister...
Amu's heart sank to the bottom and he saw no hope.
God, if there really is a God, please come and save them.
The brother and sister looked at each other in silence and endured until the next day.
A night passed and neither of them could come up with a solution.
The next day, Kun came to see them.
Kun looked down at them, his lustful eyes falling on Ah Hua.
Amu stood up and blocked his sight.
"Do you want to save that stranger?" Kun asked.
Ah Hua came out from behind Ah Mu and looked at him: "What are you going to do?"
"Ahua, as long as you marry me, I will ask my father to let him go." Kun said.
Anger flashed in Amu's eyes.
It turns out that Kun didn't expose them last night because he wanted to use Axuan to threaten them and force Ahua to marry him!
Amu wanted to take action, but was stopped by Ahua.
"According to God's will, all outsiders should be burned to death. Will the village witch listen to you and go against God's will?" Ah Hua asked.
"I can ask my father to pray to the gods to prove that this outsider is a special case, as long as you marry me..." Kun suddenly leaned in and whispered, "Ah Hua, make up your mind. Tomorrow, either burn the outsider to death, or we get married. It's your choice."
Ah Hua closed her eyes and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye. When she opened her eyes, she had already made the decision.
"Okay, I want the village witch to announce God's will when we get married." Ahua said.
"Ahua!" Amu shouted.
Ah Hua ignored Ah Mu and looked straight at Kun.
Kun looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and nodded, "It's settled then. The wedding dress will be delivered soon. Dress up well, my bride."
After Kun finished speaking, he turned and left.
"Ahua, how could you agree to him?!" Amu's eyes were filled with anger, making his ferocious face look even more ferocious.
"Brother, there is no other way." Ah Hua said.
Last night, Axuan talked a lot, saying that he would arrange a big courtyard for them, and that there would be people to serve them with food and accommodation, and that he would take them to stroll around the streets of the capital, take them to ride on a big pleasure boat, and take them to meet his two extremely intelligent friends.
Ah Hua also had fantasies and expectations.
Now, that fantasy has burst like a bubble.
She couldn't live like that anymore.
Amu's breath suddenly deflated, and he became depressed and powerless.
Yeah, there's no other way.
They are like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
"Brother, it's nothing. It doesn't matter who you marry." Ah Hua said, "Kun is the son of the village witch."
"Kun is a beast!" Amu said angrily.
Ah Hua doesn't like Kun at all. If she marries someone like Kun, her vitality will be drained away and her life will be ruined!
The brother and sister sat on the ground, snuggling together.
"Brother, there are no gods in this world. Kun and the village witch used the gods as tools. They are the ones who blasphemed the gods, yet they are not punished."
"If there really were a God, my father and mother would not have died."
"If there really is a God, she should save us."
"Axuan... I don't know what happened." Ahua muttered.
In the dungeon, it is pitch dark.
Zhao Jingxuan lay on the ground, feeling pain all over his body.
The same thought kept running through his mind: Damn it, I'm not going to die here, am I?
Burning to death must be painful, right?
Otherwise, he might as well bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Zhao Jingxuan tried to bite it, but it hurt so much that he gave up.
Burning to death in a small village is not cool at all.
If my mother knew this, she would definitely be very upset.
However, this village is so remote that no one can find it.
If we can't find his body, maybe we'll think he's still alive, which is also good.
The dungeon door suddenly opened.
Zhao Jingxuan reluctantly sat up and looked at the person who came.
When he saw who it was, Zhao Jingxuan showed disgust on his face: "I was wondering why the space was so small, it turns out that a fat pig came."
Kun kicked Zhao Jingxuan.
Zhao Jingxuan fell to the ground and got up again.
"You fat pig, do you know who you kicked? I'm not just any ordinary person. I'm a prince..."
Kun's fists and feet landed on Zhao Jingxuan, and Zhao Jingxuan's words became intermittent.
"You dare to kill me... My Great Zhou army... will destroy your village... and hang you, this fat pig, up there and drain you..."
Kun beat Zhao Jingxuan until he was almost dead before stopping.
"You won't burn to death." Kun said.
Zhao Jingxuan was stunned for a moment. He had no other choice but to bring up his identity.
He originally thought that the imperial power had little deterrent effect in this isolated village.
It actually works?
"Ahua agreed to marry me." Kun said proudly.
Zhao Jingxuan reacted quickly.
Damn it, this bastard is using himself to threaten Ah Hua!
"You fat pig, you still want to marry Ahua? I'm going to fight you!" Zhao Jingxuan suddenly gained strength and pounced on him, trying to bite Kun, but Kun kicked him away.
Zhao Jingxuan fell to the ground and couldn't move.
Kun left, the dungeon door closed, and the dungeon fell into darkness again.
Zhao Jingxuan lay straight, staring at the top of his head.
He felt so uncomfortable at this moment, even more uncomfortable than when he felt he was going to be burned to death!
Ah Hua... Ah Hua...
Ah Hua, that clear and clean girl with shining eyes should marry the man she loves and live a happy life.
Instead of marrying that fat pig and slowly wearing away the light in her eyes...
Ah Hua was trying to save herself.
For the first time, Zhao Jingxuan hated himself for being so useless!
Why doesn't he study hard and learn martial arts?!
If he studies hard, learns martial arts well, and combines both civil and military skills, maybe he can come up with a solution!
If Xu Jue and Wei Ziang encountered such a situation, they would never be as useless as himself.
I can’t protect the people I want to protect!
Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people important to you, instead of sacrificing others to save your own life!
Unfortunately, he understood this truth too late!
