Suddenly, with a whoosh, a stray arrow shot out from the opposite room.
The doors and windows of that room were sealed off with blue bricks, leaving only a row of brick holes the size of grapes.
The purpose of this was to prevent outsiders from attacking those inside; as long as the archer survived, An'an could not be saved.
Chen Yunniang is indeed vicious!
To make matters worse, the opponent was very accurate with his arrows and shot through the egg on An'an's head with a single shot.
Su Yujiao screamed in fright, her instinct being to run over and save the child.
Next came the second arrow, then the third, and each arrow hit the egg perfectly.
"If my cousin takes another step, the next arrow might not be accurate."
Su Yujiao's face turned pale, and she seemed to be rooted to the spot, standing there without daring to move.
The child suddenly woke up and cried his heart out.
"Mother... Waaah..."
"Mother... I'm scared..."
The baby's cries were like a knife to Su Yujiao's heart.
"Chen Yunniang, what exactly do you want?"
Chen Yunniang smiled and said, "I want the Dragon-Snake Jade."
"If you hand over the jade pendant, I will immediately let you and your child leave."
"You'll keep your word? How can you guarantee that?"
Chen Yunniang shrugged: "I can't guarantee it, after all... you didn't have a choice, did you?"
Su Yujiao was in a state of confusion. She only regretted that she didn't have a grenade to blow up the archers inside.
She had other weapons and gunpowder, but the detonation time was too long. Before they could explode, An'an was riddled with bullets.
Moreover, the explosion would produce a large amount of flying debris, and those sharp pieces of tile were as powerful as bullets.
Kidnapping Chen Yunniang?
It doesn't seem like that will work either.
Since I don't know martial arts, I can't teleport to Chen Yunniang's side!
Chen Yunniang knew that Su Yujiao was trying to find a solution, and she also knew that Su Yujiao possessed the Dragon-Snake Jade, so she was worried that Su Yujiao would come up with a way to break the deadlock.
"Hmph, if I don't teach you a lesson, you really won't take me seriously."
"Guards! Shoot through that bastard's left ear!"
Whoosh!
"ah……"
The sound of a cold arrow piercing the air, accompanied by the child's terrified cries, made Su Yujiao collapse to the ground in fright.
“If you still refuse to hand over the jade pendant after I count to three, the next arrow will be aimed at the child’s eyes.”
"one two three!"
"I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"
Su Yujiao magically produced a jade pendant from her sleeve.
"Release the child first, and I'll give you the jade pendant right away."
A flicker of excitement and greed flashed in Chen Yunniang's eyes; this precious jade finally belonged to her.
How can I tell if this jade is real or fake?
Su Yujiao bit her finger and dripped the blood onto the jade pendant, which immediately shone with golden light.
Chen Yunniang knew that fake dragon and snake jade would not emit golden light.
The dragon and snake jade in Su Yujiao's hand was indeed genuine.
"Give me the jade pendant first, then I'll release the child."
"No, you have to release the child first."
"Find someone to take the child to the small courtyard in the east of the city. When Xiao Tao sees that the child has arrived home safely, she will release a red signal flare in the air."
"I know the child is safe, so I'll give you the jade pendant right away."
"If you don't trust me, tie me up and use me as a target."
Chen Yunniang sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"With the Dragon-Snake Jade in hand, you can disappear on the spot at any time."
"Ha, I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, and you still dare to negotiate with me."
"You don't need your son's eyes."
"Guards, shoot!"
"Here you go, here you go!" Su Yujiao interrupted her command, her voice trembling with fear.
"The grudges between you and me have nothing to do with the child."
"All you want is the Dragon-Snake Jade, so release the child."
"I'll carry the child to the door, put the jade pendant on the ground, and leave with the child, is that alright?"
Chen Yunniang hesitated for a moment: "Someone, put the child at the door."
"If you still refuse to hand over the jade pendant after I count to three, I will have someone shoot him dead with an arrow."
"An'an, run!"
Su Yujiao threw down the jade pendant and turned to run away. She knew Chen Yunniang wouldn't kill her, since both of them still had Gu poison in their bodies.
Whether you can escape or not depends on your luck.
The Wei sisters were waiting at the entrance of the alley. When they saw a small figure, they immediately surrounded and protected the child.
As soon as Su Yujiao ran out, she was knocked unconscious by the black man who chased after her.
"lady!"
"Hurry up and get on it."
The Wei sisters dared not step forward, and could only send their guards and bodyguards to rescue them.
Their primary task now is to protect the young master.
We can't afford to lose both our wife and our army!
Chen Yunniang was short-handed, so she took Su Yujiao hostage, forcing the other side not to make any rash moves.
Actually, she wanted to use Gu people more, but that was her last trump card, which she wanted to save for Chu Zhongyuan to use in his struggle for the throne.
If so, she wouldn't dare use it lightly!
If she can create this Gu-type Gu, then perhaps even the Gu-type Gu masters of the Southern Frontier Kingdom can.
Perhaps they can even refine a Gu that can counteract Gu people!
Just when Chen Yunniang had nowhere to retreat, Chu Zhongyuan arrived with his men.
Su Yujiao woke up in the Prince's mansion. The room was luxuriously decorated, and even the small candlesticks were very valuable.
As Su Yujiao gradually regained consciousness, she realized that she was tied to the bed.
"woke up?"
The door was pushed open, and Chu Zhongyuan walked in, still wearing that harmless smile.
Su Yujiao looked at him with icy eyes and a face full of hatred.
The man sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the woman's hateful eyes, and reached out to touch her fair and smooth face.
"So tender and beautiful."
"You have a beautiful face, which I admire."
