051
After they circled around the mountain, they found that they could not find Jiang Chaoyu anywhere.
The group looked around, but there was nowhere to hide. However, Jiang Chaoyu's figure had already disappeared.
When Xie Yunyin caught up, he only saw a group of people searching everywhere.
Where are they?
"My lord, we have come this far but have not found Miss Jiang."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunyin became very angry and said, "Useless! You can't even track down a living person! Find them!"
"yes!"
By this time, their search party had reached the bottom of the cave, but to their surprise, the He family still hadn't destroyed it.
Following the path I remembered, the gold and silver jewelry that had once been placed on the ground was gone. Now it was all empty. They must have realized that this place was not suitable for trading and moved to another location.
The group of people on the ground must still be looking for her; going out now would be too risky. If it weren't for the excessive energy she had expended escaping, she could have used her powers to escape right now.
It was dark inside the cave, and Jiang Chaoyu lost track of how much time had passed. However, she remembered that there seemed to be another opening leading to the surface, and it was quite far from where she had fallen; they certainly wouldn't find it.
"Stay here and guard the place." In such a large area, it's impossible for someone to disappear so quickly; there must be some kind of trap nearby.
Xie Yunyin surveyed the area but still couldn't find any mechanisms. However, he noticed that the place seemed different. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice anything, but if you looked closely, you would see that it had a clear direction.
Following the direction, it disappeared at one point.
Xie Yunyin slightly curled the corners of his lips; it seemed this should be the exit.
He sat down with his legs half-curled up, propped his face up with his hands, and stared intently at the screen. He didn't believe Jiang Chaoyu wouldn't come out of here.
Jiang Chaoyu, underground, had no idea that Xie Yunyin had guessed her intentions and was quietly waiting for her at the cave entrance where she was about to exit.
To prevent Xie Yunyin and the others from still waiting for him in the same spot, he stayed underground for a while before daring to lift the lid.
The light shone on her, and she could see the outside world and... Xie Yunyin!
He was all smiles and waving at me when suddenly he grabbed my hand.
She anticipated Jiang Chaoyu's movements, preventing her from returning to the bottom.
When a sharp pain shot through her wrist, Jiang Chaoyu realized she couldn't escape Xie Yunyin's pursuit. Her eyes filled with hatred, she said fiercely, "Xie Yunyin, let me go."
“You don’t call me Little Fish anymore, Little Rain.”
There was a hint of melancholy in his eyes, but so what? We had to sympathize with the enemy.
"How did you know about the Crescent Moon Gate's carrier pigeons?" Since she couldn't escape, she had to find out the source of all this.
Sure enough, her master's affairs were what she cared about most; she would definitely take the bait as long as it involved anything from the Crescent Moon Sect.
"Come with me, and I'll tell you everything."
Xie Yunyin seemed to know Jiang Chaoyu's concerns, and added, "Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything to you."
Seeing that Jiang Chaoyu was still hesitant, Xie Yunyin let go of her hand, because he expected that Jiang Chaoyu would definitely go with him.
"If you're worried, then you may leave."
Now that her hand was gone, she should have fled immediately, but Xie Yunyin offered an even greater temptation, leaving her no choice but to follow him.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
"But before I leave, I have to blindfold you." He took out a handkerchief and started to blindfold Jiang Chaoyu.
Seeing this, Jiang Chaoyu hid behind her. "Are you afraid I'll run away?"
He thought Xie Yunyin would make up some other excuse, but he didn't expect him to admit it directly.
"That's right, we can't let the people we've worked so hard to lure away so quickly."
Jiang Chaoyu was rather helpless. She snatched the handkerchief from Xie Yunyin's hand and said, "In that case, I can do it myself."
After seeing her blindfolded, he wanted to hold her hand, but Jiang Chaoyu shook him off as soon as he tried to pull.
"Young Master Xie, there is a difference between men and women, and besides, I am about to be married, so it is best not to be too intimate."
Jiang Chaoyu stood sideways, using her ears to pinpoint Xie Yunyin's location. However, Xie Yunyin was already angry at her mention of her impending marriage, and still grabbed Jiang Chaoyu's sleeve, pulling her forward.
Seeing that it wasn't a handshake, Jiang Chaoyu felt that pulling on the sleeve wouldn't be a big deal. However, it seemed that they had been walking for almost half an hour, and Xie Yunyin was still pulling her along.
If it's going to be this long, why not ride a horse or rent a carriage?
"By the way, we've been walking for so long, haven't we arrived yet?"
Upon hearing Jiang Chaoyu's words, Xie Yunyin stopped in his tracks. Seeing him stop, Jiang Chaoyu also stopped, keeping a distance from Xie Yunyin.
"Is Xiaoyu tired?"
Jiang Chaoyu sighed deeply. Wasn't Xie Yunyin tired after walking for so long?
Then Xie Yunyin continued, "Since Xiaoyu is tired, we will stop and rest for a while. But don't worry, Xiaoyu, we will reach the post station soon, and then we can take a carriage."
Now that they had stopped, Jiang Chaoyu wanted to take off the handkerchief, but Xie Yunyin grabbed her hand as soon as her hand touched it.
Even if you stop, you can't look.
Jiang Chaoyu listened to the wind nearby. If he were in the city, it would be bustling with noise by now. But all he could hear was the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves and the footsteps of his men following behind.
Based on this reasoning, they must have headed towards the outskirts of the city. Jiang Chaoyu frowned, thinking something was wrong. They had been walking for half an hour and still hadn't arrived. Where were they?
But Xie Yunyin said there was a post station not far away. Could it be that we were going to another country? The closest one was the Chu Kingdom.
Where are we going?
Seeing that the person was already beside him, Xie Yunyin had nothing more to hide and said directly to Jiang Chaoyu, "Let's go to the Chu Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chaoyu immediately ripped off her handkerchief. Perhaps because she had been covering her eyes with the handkerchief and hadn't seen much light, it was now quite glaring. Looking at Xie Yunyin in front of her, she said, "Are you crazy? The Chu Kingdom and our country are enemies who have never spoken to each other. Are you going to defect to the enemy?"
Xie Yunyin did not expect Jiang Chaoyu to react so strongly. The reason he did this was because Chu Guo had promised him benefits.
“Xiaoyu, how can this be considered defection? I am merely an ally of the Chu Kingdom.”
Jiang Chaoyu still couldn't understand, looking at Xie Yunyin with puzzled eyes, trying to see if Xie Yunyin was lying, but all he could think about was his own interests.
With her brow furrowed, she looked around the vicinity. She had never been here before, so she didn't know where to run if she wanted to escape.
I thought that following Xie Yunyin would mean staying in this area, at most not going abroad. I never expected him to do this.
You lied to me!
Seeing the confusion and anger in Jiang Chaoyu's eyes, Xie Yunyin was not annoyed. With a smile, he took Jiang Chaoyu's hand and said, "Xiaoyu, I have never lied to you. I just want to marry you."
Jiang Chaoyu wouldn't listen to any of these explanations. Was this really love? She didn't believe it, unless...
"If you truly love me, why not take out your heart's blood? If you can do that, I will believe you truly love me, and I will go back with you to get married."
The subordinates standing nearby all tried to dissuade Xie Yunyin, saying, "My lord, you mustn't!"
Xie Yunyin's face fell, and with a sidelong glance, she silenced them. When she looked at Jiang Chaoyu, her face was full of smiles; she was very pleased with her words. "Little Yu, do you truly believe what you said?"
Jiang Chaoyu thought that Xie Yunyin would not go to such lengths for her, so she nodded: "Of course it is true!"
He stretched his hand to the side, waiting for his subordinate to hand him the knife, but his eyes remained fixed on Jiang Chaoyu. The subordinate hesitated, reluctant to take out the knife.
"You're not listening to me anymore, are you!"
He only drew his knife after hearing these words.
"I will give Xiaoyu anything she wants, even my own life." Xie Yunyin's eyes were full of Jiang Chaoyu. If Jiang Chaoyu wanted his life right now, he would really be willing to do so.
In Jiang Chaoyu's eyes, Xie Yunyin was a pathological person who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, but in the process, he never cared how many innocent people he hurt.
As he slowly lifted his clothes, Jiang Chaoyu narrowed her eyes and stared at him, wanting to see just how far Xie Yunyin could go.
After catching my breath, I realized that I wasn't too tired anymore. It seemed that I could use my powers to escape soon, but I needed a trigger.
When the sword tip reached her chest, Xie Yunyin noticed that Jiang Chaoyu still didn't make any move, so he looked up at her.
Jiang Chaoyu was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What, you said it was okay, but now you want to go back on your word?"
These words struck a chord with Xie Yunyin, who plunged the sword tip into his chest and only smiled when blood began to flow.
Looking at the blood, Jiang Chaoyu seemed to remember that the book once said that one should place the blood of one's beloved on one's forehead. If Xie Yunyin's blood was useless, then it seemed that it had to be the blood of one's beloved.
Jiang Chaoyu approached Xie Yunyin step by step, which made his subordinates anxious. They tried to stop him, but Xie Yunyin stopped them.
She caught Xie Yunyin's heart's blood in her hand and gently wiped it away. Xie Yunyin didn't know what Jiang Chaoyu's intention was. "Little Yu, what's this?"
Jiang Chaoyu waited for a moment and found that nothing had changed. When she opened her eyes, Xie Yunyin was still standing in front of her.
While Xie Yunyin was still staring at him in a daze, he grabbed the hilt of the sword that was stuck in Xie Yunyin's chest and stabbed it hard. Xie Yunyin, who had just come to his senses, stopped and struck Jiang Chaoyu in the chest with his other hand. The force was so great that Jiang Chaoyu almost spat out a mouthful of dark blood.
Seeing that this was useless, Jiang Chaoyu turned around and ran towards the tree behind her.
While Xie Yunyin was talking to his men, he had already come up with a plan and realized that this forest was the best place to hide himself.
Xie Yunyin was losing a lot of blood at this time. Some people stayed behind to take care of Xie Yunyin, while the rest chased after Jiang Chaoyu.
"Spatial displacement locked, proceed!"
The person had already teleported to the side, leaving the people behind empty-handed.
Unfortunately, her ability was becoming shorter and shorter. She had originally intended to teleport back to her own courtyard, but when she looked up, she found herself under the same willow tree she had come to earlier that day.
His body was too weak, and he spat the blood directly onto the branches of the willow tree.
Jiang Chaoyu casually wiped the blood from her mouth, looked back and saw no one behind her, and her worries subsided. They certainly couldn't catch up at this distance.
The force with which she stabbed him just now would have left Xie Yunyin with a wound that would take a long time to heal, even if he didn't die.
But she didn't expect Xie Yunyin's palm strike to be so powerful; she's still having trouble breathing.
She leaned against the willow tree, feeling extremely weak, but she needed to get back to the mansion as soon as possible.
As I walked forward, I staggered a little, but I still forced myself to keep going.
Although she was somewhat weak, she could keenly sense that someone was approaching from behind.
Logically, it shouldn't be possible, but I have a feeling that there's nothing wrong with it, although it seems that not many people are coming.
She could only force herself to keep running forward, hoping that if people saw her, they would have some reservations.
"Where are you going!" Jiang Chaoyu was startled when someone grabbed her wrist...
