Chapter 221 Zhao Yuntian Succeeds
"Besides, the witch doctor didn't even spare your Ah Zi and made her pregnant. How can you protect me?"
"You! How did you know?"
Zhao Yuntian's eyes widened, his face turned pale and blue, as if someone had suddenly strangled him, and he instantly lost all his energy.
"How should I know? I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Besides, after I divorce you, my military rank is higher than yours, and my family background is better than yours. You are still a fugitive on the run. What qualifications do you have to marry me?"
"you……"
Zhao Yuntian was almost angry to death. He divorced his wife without hesitation and married his true love A Zi. Who knew that she would cheat on him and cuckold him. After his house was searched, it was exposed and made him a laughing stock of the entire capital.
This matter has long become his Achilles' heel, and he gets angry with anyone who mentions it.
Although he did not love Bai Li very much, she was prettier than A Zi, had martial arts skills and strategy, and it could be said that she was the pride of all men.
If he had married her, this pride would have belonged to him alone, and he wouldn't be in such a miserable state today...
"What do you want me to do to forgive me? I admit my mistake now, can you please stop making trouble?"
After Zhao Yun became furious, he turned to begging, and planned that if Bai Li did not compromise, they would die together!
Bai Li tied his hands and walked slowly towards him.
"Don't worry, I've come here listening to you. Let my brother go."
Bai Li didn't dare to provoke him again, for fear that he would get angry and use force on his men, and her fifth brother would be doomed.
"Li'er, you know the situation now. I'll let you go only if you come to my side."
Seeing that Bai Li's hands were tied and he no longer posed a threat, Zhao Yuntian relaxed his guard.
Bai Li stood in front of him, stretched out his tied-up hands, and motioned him to let the person go.
At this point, Zhao Yuntian no longer had any reason not to release him.
The big knife that was pressing on his neck was removed, and Bai Wulang looked up at his brother and sister with a frustrated look, his face covered with snot and tears.
Bai Li felt a pain in his heart when he looked at his young face. He was only a fifteen-year-old boy. It was good enough that he didn't cry out of control when facing the critical moment of life and death.
Although he went to the battlefield, because he was young, he was always under the protection of his family. The enemies he faced were just small minions, and he never faced a strong enemy, so he was able to come back alive and safe.
"Sister, you shouldn't have come here. He is no longer the same Brother Zhao!
I'm useless, it doesn't matter if I die, but you can't be in any trouble, big sister!"
Although Bai Wulang was afraid of death, he didn't want his elder sister to die even more.
If he had to exchange one life for another, he would rather die himself.
"Sister, I was wrong. If I had known Zhao Yuntian would become so cold-blooded and cruel, I shouldn't have fought with him for the deer!"
Compared to life, what is a deer?
Unfortunately, it is difficult to know things in advance, and there is no medicine for regret in the world.
"Fifth brother, stop talking like that. You are our younger brother, an indispensable member of our family. You must not underestimate yourself.
Come home with your brother quickly, and don't worry about your elder sister."
Seeing that he still refused to move, Bai Li winked at him anxiously.
Finally, Bai Wulang walked towards the opposite side, looking back every few steps. Zhao Yuntian became impatient, pushed him, and then pulled Bai Li over.
“Run!”
Bai Li shouted, and Bai Wulang ran to his two brothers sobbing.
"Haha! You finally belong to me!"
Zhao Yuntian put his arm around Bai Li's shoulders and laughed triumphantly.
"Big sister!"
Bai Sanlang lowered his head and used a knife to cut the rope on Bai Wulang's hand. Bai Silang saw Bai Li being dragged away and shouted anxiously, trying to chase after him.
"Don't follow me, or I'll be rude to her!"
Zhao Yuntian pulled Bai Li's arm with one hand, raised a big knife with the other, turned around and threatened him fiercely.
Bai Silang stopped and looked at Bai Sanlang helplessly.
"Don't chase him, fourth brother. Be careful he doesn't hurt Li'er."
Bai Sanlang received the signal from Bai Li that she would find a way to escape, so he asked him to take his brothers away quickly.
"Third brother!"
"Let's go!"
Bai Sanlang didn't give any time to explain, grabbed one of his brothers with each hand and left quickly.
Zhao Yuntian stared at them as they walked away, and only then did he completely relax.
"Where are you taking me next?"
Bai Li watched Zhao Yuntian walking in a completely opposite direction from Bai Sanlang and the others, and guessed that he must be with the witch doctor, thinking that he would find an opportunity to kill them later.
"Don't worry, I'll take you to a good place!"
Zhao Yuntian was acting mysterious. Bai Li looked up and saw that his once handsome face was now unshaven and dirty, with his clothes torn to shreds by branches. If one didn't know better, one would have thought he was a beggar from somewhere. He didn't look like a young master from a noble family at all. Bai Li felt it was an eyesore and silently looked away.
He is a hypocritical, greedy, sinister and vicious person, so you have to be careful when dealing with him.
Seeing her eyes full of disgust, Zhao Yuntian touched his face uncomfortably.
"I've been in the mountains these days with no access to a wash basin. I'm a little dirty, but it'll be fine once we get out."
"Do you dare to go out?"
"When the time is right, I'll be able to go out openly. Then I'll marry you in style!"
"Tsk, you're just like a street rat, hiding in the woods, afraid to see anyone.
When will the right time come? Maybe in the next life, right? "
"Bai Li, don't underestimate me!"
Zhao Yuntian was provoked by her to the point of almost losing his mind, but fortunately he braked at the last moment.
"Li'er, my dear Li'er, as long as you are willing to help me, I will soon be able to rise to prominence. If I make great contributions, I may even be granted the title of nobility or become a prime minister."
"How can I help you?"
When Zhao Yuntian heard there was a chance, he was so happy that he almost lost his mind.
"Li'er, as long as you work with me for King Jin of Ximen, when King Jin's great cause is accomplished, that will be the day we are granted the title of marquis and appointed as prime minister!"
"Zhao Yuntian, is there anything wrong with your brain?
You and your son both held high official positions before, and you were receiving salaries from the emperor. Wouldn't it be great if you could share his worries?
Why did you surrender to the King of Wei and end up having your property confiscated and being thrown into prison?"
"What do you know!"
Zhao Yuntian couldn't help but roared, and then he tried to save the situation in a resentful manner.
"Li'er, you don't know. Both my father and I are not favored by the emperor. We are not in his sight. It is impossible for us to be promoted to higher positions."
"I am unwilling to be a small captain for the rest of my life, and my father is unwilling to be a minister of rites with no real power for the rest of his life.
The King of Wei promised us that after the mission is accomplished, he would reward us according to our merits and guarantee us higher official positions and more generous salaries than before."
"If you were given these conditions, what would you choose?"
"I will not choose to betray my country or the court."
Bai Li just wanted to live a normal life in peace and stability in the end times, but unfortunately zombies were rampant at that time, and she couldn't even realize this small wish.
