Her face was slightly red, and she shyly put her hands behind her back and lowered her head as she came in front of Jiang Yanche. Her voice was soft and gentle, as thin as a mosquito's.
"Your Highness, do you think Jiaojiao looks good in this outfit?"
The autumn weather is clear and sunny.
The morning sunlight was neither warm nor dry. It sparsely penetrated the window lattice and hit Li Jiaojiao's shoulders inch by inch, adding a touch of vitality to her whole person.
She is at the best age, and with the gorgeous clothes and pearl hairpins around her, she is quite pretty.
It's a pity that compared with the beauty of Chen Ningzhu, she is at best a pretty girl from a small family, there is no comparison at all.
In the eyes of Jiang Yanche, who was used to seeing stunning beauties, she meant even less.
So, he just raised his eyelids and glanced at the other person lightly, then looked away.
"Well, take it with you and follow me."
Li Jiaojiao's face froze, and there was unconcealable disappointment in her eyes. She didn't expect that even though she was dressed so formally, the other party just glanced at her.
This inevitably damaged her self-esteem.
If she knew that Jiang Yanche looked at her just to make sure she would look a bit like Chen Ningzhu if she covered her face, she would probably be so angry that she would die.
Perhaps she was too surprised that she didn't hear clearly the meaning of Jiang Yanche's words.
It was not until someone came forward to cover her mouth that she reacted. However, before she could resist, her hands were tied, her mouth was gagged, and a black cloth was put over her.
At this time, Yuan Yi, who had been following Jiang Yanche, stepped forward, picked up the struggling Li Jiaojiao, and strode out of the house behind Jiang Yanche.
The autumn wind blows, and white clothes flutter.
Jiang Yanche's handsome face stood out among the soldiers in silver armor, like snow on the eaves.
Everyone stood on the city wall with solemn expressions, facing the person below the city from a distance.
The man was dressed in black clothes and silver armor.
He held the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, his back straight as a pine, cypress or bamboo. Just standing there, he was like an unsheathed sword, emitting a cold aura that could not be ignored.
At this moment, he raised his head slightly and stared coldly at the woman hanging on the city wall.
His eyes showed neither sadness nor joy.
Her waist was much thicker, her legs were shorter, her chest was smaller, and with a black cloth on her head, one could vaguely see that her head was big and her neck was short and thick, not even close to Chen Ningzhu's swan neck.
How dare you use this kind of stuff to pretend to be his little treasure?
Who is Jiang Yanche insulting?
Jiang Yanche also knew that Jiang Xuanyan was a very thoughtful person, so he didn't dare to delay, for fear that if he took too long, Jiang Xuanyan would notice the clues.
I just want to end the battle quickly and hope that the other party will be too concerned and distracted to notice some details.
So, he opened his voice and said,
"Jiang Xuanyan, do you want to save your woman? If you do, come forward and do as I ask, otherwise..."
Jiang Yanche paused deliberately when he said this.
At this moment, Yuan Yi's knife was already placed near the hemp rope that tied the woman.
Behind the ordinary soldiers standing on the city wall, there were densely packed elite soldiers, each of them drawing their bows and arrows, ready to shoot thousands of arrows at the command.
Now, all we have to do is trick Jiang Xuanyan into coming within the range.
At that time, even if he was a god of war, he would not be able to withstand the rain of arrows and the simultaneous firing of thousands of arrows.
It’s a pity that Jiang Xuanyan just stood there, as if his feet had taken root, with no intention of moving.
Instead, he looked at Jiang Yanche with a half-smile.
Jiang Yanche couldn't help but frown, and a bad feeling came over him. He couldn't help but say,
"Jiang Xuanyan, are you really not going to care about your beloved Zhuzhu? Aren't you afraid that she will be smashed into mud?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yi turned his wrist, a cold light flashed, and a small break appeared on the hemp rope as thick as a baby's arm.
The tied-up woman seemed to be very frightened. She made "Mmm" sounds desperately and her body kept swinging in the air.
Jiang Yanche laughed loudly.
"I remember Zhuzhu was very delicate and afraid of pain. She was as timid as a kitten. Look at her now. She seems to be very afraid of death and desperately wants to stay alive."
"Jiang Xuanyan, you claim to love her and want to keep her by your side for the rest of your life, but now, why are you willing to let her die?"
Jiang Xuanyan smiled faintly.
"Heh, Jiang Yanche, I never thought that such innocent and funny words would come out of your mouth."
"The imperial family is the most ruthless. As a member of the royal family, you know this truth, don't you?"
"As the Emperor, the entire world belongs to me. Do you really think I care about a mere woman?"
Jiang Yanche clenched his fists tightly and was speechless for a moment.
For example, he himself had some feelings for Chen Ningzhu, and even had the idea of taking her into his arms and making her his woman.
But when it came to power and status, he chose rights without hesitation.
He originally thought that Jiang Xuanyan treated Shen Ningzhu differently, but he never expected...
If you think about it carefully, Jiang Xuanyan has been more indifferent and ruthless than him since he was a child. It seems that no one in this world can move him.
It took Jiang Qingyi more than ten years to gain his respect, but that was all.
This is also the reason why Jiang Qingyi chose to take a huge risk and seduce the emperor of the enemy country who was on a diplomatic mission, and then successfully marry him, instead of staying in Jiang State and plotting for the position of Crown Princess of Jiang Xuanyan.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yanche's face looked extremely ugly.
He tilted his head slightly and asked Yuan Yi beside him,
"How confident are you of hitting the target when shooting arrows now?"
Yuan Yi frowned and said, "Apart from you, Your Highness, there is only one other person who can shoot that far."
Jiang Yanche shook his head.
Not enough. With only two people, Jiang Xuanyan can easily dodge. Not only can they not kill Jiang Xuanyan, but they will also alert the enemy and lose the initiative.
So, he could only threaten Jiang Xuanyan again.
He was betting that Jiang Xuanyan was too far away to notice that the person hanging on the city wall was not Shen Ningzhu herself. He was also betting that Jiang Xuanyan was not as indifferent to Shen Ningzhu as he said.
So he personally took the sword from Yuan Yi's hand and slowly placed it on the hemp rope.
"Jiang Xuanyan, I'm too lazy to waste time talking to you. I'll tell you three numbers. If you don't come forward, I'll cut this hemp rope completely."
"Then I'll see if your son and daughter will forgive you for not saving their biological mother today."
"one……"
"two……"
"three……"
Jiang Xuanyan remained motionless like a clock, his narrow and long phoenix eyes showing a half-smile. If you didn't know better, you would think he was leisurely basking in the sun.
This scene, set against the backdrop of the scene on the opposite city wall, looks like a comical one-man show, with a strong sense of disconnection.
Just like him and Jiang Xuanyan for many years, Jiang Xuanyan always had an expressionless face, with an air of superiority and control over everything.
His vying for favor and ambition made him look like a clown in his indifferent gaze.
