While they were talking, Zhen Wanwan had already found an opportunity to point her gun at the man behind her.
"Hmm... Hmph..." Zhu Yuan, having lost his weapon, was hit squarely and involuntarily let out a muffled groan.
Perhaps seeing that Zhu Yuan was unable to resist, the man who was holding Zhen Wanwan hostage lowered his guard.
The knife at her neck moved a little further away, and it was at that moment that a scream that shook the heavens rang out.
After Zhen Wanwan fired, her hands and feet went weak, and because of the close proximity, the man's blood splattered on her.
As the man's pain intensified, he lost control and began to move erratically.
As the knife drew closer to her neck, Zhen Wanwan's heart pounded in her throat.
He was only a millimeter away from severing her neck, just as Zhen Wanwan was bitterly awaiting her death.
The next second, she was enveloped in a warm embrace.
"Wan'er, are you alright?"
Zhu Yuan's brows were furrowed, filled with worry.
When Zhen Wanwan opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Zhu Yuan's handsome face. The wind blew his hair and beard, making him look even more aloof and handsome.
"Husband?"
Once she came to her senses, Zhen Wanwan realized that she hadn't died.
Seeing the concern in Zhu Yuan's eyes, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Waaaaah... I thought I was going to die this time..."
Zhu Yuan was at a loss; it was the first time he had ever seen Zhen Wanwan cry so sadly.
Faced with this situation, he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only pat her back gently again and again.
"It's alright, it's alright."
On the other side, A-Yue and Zhu Yuan's guards had already started fighting with the group of men who had just kidnapped her.
Seeing this, King Facai of the gambling den finally understood the situation and hurried back to get reinforcements.
A short while later, they returned with their men.
Unbeknownst to them, the most prosperous mansion in Mingzhou Prefecture had been emptied out at some point, leaving only a desolate, empty house.
The prefectural governor's office should have noticed all of this long ago, but because they had caused such a big incident, he didn't pay any attention to this anomaly.
"You mean that person is Xiao Hansong's strategist, Zhu Yuan?"
The prefect's eyes were filled with disbelief, but he couldn't hide the excitement in them.
Years ago, the Prince of Yang should have acted long ago, but due to certain reasons, it was interrupted.
Among them, their vital supplies were stolen by Zhu Yuan, who was also the strategist, causing Yang Wang's plans to be delayed again and again.
Now that he had received news of Zhuyuan, the prefect was overjoyed.
"Good, good! If we capture him, the master will definitely value me! Men, summon all the city guards to come with me!"
As he spoke, the prefect led a large group of people on a grand and bustling journey to the location of Zhen Wanwan and Zhu Yuan.
Amidst the chaotic battle, Zhen Wanwan was always protected in Zhu Yuan's arms.
She pulled out a small pistol and aimed it at the person who had been attacking them.
Because Zhu Yuan coordinated very well, he lured the enemy to the best position for Zhen Wanwan to shoot.
He even thoughtfully left the enemy's back to Zhen Wanwan, ensuring she wouldn't be harmed and could hit her in one go.
As expected, Zhen Wanwan, with everyone's extra cooperation, quickly defeated a group of people.
The remaining people stared fearfully at the small pistol in Zhen Wanwan's hand. It seemed they all realized that this little thing had unseen the shooting of their men.
The weapon may be small, but it is terrifying!
"Kill her! Then we can get this hidden weapon!"
Someone shouted something, and the rest of the people rushed forward and pounced on Zhen Wanwan's side.
