As soon as Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu arrived at the transaction location, Mo Qianyu, Princess Yutan and others followed.
As soon as Princess Yu Tan dismounted, her face turned red with anger. She pointed ahead and asked, "Look, is there someone in the cage?"
The moonlight was dim, and the cage was covered with white cloth, with only a corner exposed. From Princess Yutan's perspective, she could see the messy long hair of the person in the cage.
Jiang Yuzhu's heart tightened. She followed the direction Princess Yutan pointed, but couldn't see clearly. "Is that a butterfly?"
The person behind the scenes set up such a big trap and lured them to the valley just to avoid exposing their identity. By the time their side took a detour to catch them, the other party had disappeared without a trace.
Xie Zhao looked around, staring coldly at the direction across the bridge in thought. After a while, he gently pulled Jiang Yuzhu's sleeve, his expression softened a little, and said softly, "Don't worry, I already have a solution."
Xie Zhao has been here several times.
The terrain around the valley is complex, there are many wild animals near the deep mountains, and no human traces are seen.
The cliff below the single-plank bridge is bottomless, and there is a deep pool with fast-flowing water.
Jiang Yuzhu nodded slowly. She didn't care about the transaction. She just wanted to confirm whether Zhao Fendie was safe as soon as possible.
She ran to the side of the single-plank bridge and shouted, "Hurry up and bring Fendie out! If she's not intact, you'll never get anything in your life!"
As for what the other party wanted, Jiang Yuzhu had no idea.
The night was quiet, with only a faint echo in the valley.
After the noise, the person in the cage struggled violently, and several men in black gathered together to discuss in a low voice.
After about an incense stick of time, a man stepped forward and said, "Put the jade token in the small box and send Madam Xie across the single-plank bridge to hand over the person and the goods."
The other party's Da Qi accent was awkward and difficult to pronounce. Princess Yu Tan and Mo Qianyu looked at each other and said in unison: "Barbarian!"
Princess Yutan looked at Jiang Yuzhu and asked, "How did Zhao Fendie offend the barbarians? What exactly is this jade token that they're talking about?"
Jiang Yuzhu shook her head. She had never heard Zhao Fendie mention it, and she couldn't remember Biyun Biyue either.
Jiang Yuzhu could not accept the conditions proposed by the barbarian and angrily said, "Impossible!"
The barbarian really knows how to do business. He lured her into the tiger's mouth. Not only would she fail to rescue Zhao Fendie, but she would get herself into trouble instead.
She won't do a business that will lose money!
After a long moment, the other party raised her voice in surprise and asked, "Madam Xie, I heard that you and Miss Zhao are as close as sisters. Are you even willing to sacrifice your sister's life?"
Jiang Yuzhu's lips curved into a cold arc as she sarcastically said, "Since we're going to negotiate a deal, we should choose a method that benefits both you and me. Isn't it bad to use moral kidnapping?"
"You want the jade pendant, I want the person. It's true that Fendie is my best sister, but you're trying to sow discord like those gossipy old ladies who gather under the big tree at the entrance of the village. It's really annoying!"
Jiang Yuzhu exudes an indifference that keeps people at a distance. She does what she wants and no barbarian can try to sway her.
Besides, the barbarian is so shameless, how can he have the nerve to talk about justice with her?
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Princess Yutan would really want to laugh.
Every time I hear Jiang Yuzhu criticize others without using any swear words, I feel very happy.
Xie Zhao estimated the length of the single-plank bridge and denied it, "No."
The bridge is hundreds of meters long, and it is impossible to reach the other side without external force.
If the barbarians cut down the single-plank bridge and Jiang Yuzhu fell into their hands, even Xie Zhao would be helpless.
"The barbarians chose to trade in the valley, so they must have received guidance. If they weren't extremely familiar with the topography of the capital, they would never have found this place."
Xie Zhao had foreseen that the two parties would eventually discuss things in the middle of the bridge.
No matter what, Jiang Yuzhu could not avoid putting herself in danger.
"If you're hanging over the edge of a valley, trees can provide support and cushioning. If you're in the middle of a bridge..."
If you fall into the deep pool below, the strong current will easily make you unconscious, and there will be no chance of rescue.
Xie Zhao analyzed the terrain and possible emergencies, his voice slightly cold but firm: "Your husband will go to trade on your behalf."
Jiang Yuzhu raised her eyelids slightly and said perfunctorily, "Master, if there is any danger, I will go first."
Did Xie Zhao think she didn't want to? But the barbarian, with his unerring eye for detail, had accurately discerned that she was the weakest person present. Someone must be behind this, and that person had better be hiding, otherwise Jiang Yuzhu would absolutely tear them to pieces.
Princess Yutan saw Jiang Yuzhu's expression and understood.
Jiang Yuzhu has a bad reputation, but she treats her relatives, sisters, and even servants very well. Once you fall into her poison, you will only fall deeper and deeper into it.
"Yuzhu, I'm here with you."
Princess Yutan is worried about Xie Zhao, fearing that if Jiang Yuzhu is in danger, Xie Zhao will just stand by and watch.
A bad man is unreliable after all.
Jiang Yuzhu nodded seriously. In fact, she had thought of a little trick to cheat.
Looking around, Jiang Yuzhu looked at Mo Qianyu steadily and said with an apologetic smile, "General Mo, you are the only one who meets the requirements."
Mo Qianyu's eyelids kept twitching. He felt like he was being tricked. He was hesitating when Jiang Yuzhu said, "Go to the woods behind and take off your coat and pants."
Mo Qianyu: “…”
What was he trying to do? Was he going to use his sexuality to seduce the barbarian? If he showed his face, Zhao Fendie would only die faster due to the new and old hatreds he had with the barbarian.
"You are the only one who is so confident about your appearance."
Jiang Yuzhu was speechless and didn't want to waste time talking to Mo Qianyu. "Twist your clothes into a rope and tie it around my ankle."
The single-plank bridge can only accommodate one person, and there is no extra space on the left or right.
Jiang Yuzhu's skirt was very long, and if she had a thin black string on her feet, it would be difficult to notice at night.
If the barbarian finds out that he has been tricked and cuts down the single-plank bridge, relying on Xie Zhao to save him is not enough, Jiang Yuzhu has to give herself a double insurance.
Mo Qianyu said with great admiration: "Sister-in-law, why didn't I think of this bad idea?"
However, with his clothes and pants combined, he couldn't make a rope that was very long, definitely not enough to reach the middle of the bridge.
Jiang Yuzhu looked at Mo Qianyu in shock. After all, he was a general who went into battle to kill the enemy, so how could he be so stupid?
"Who said I was going to go to the middle? We should act according to circumstances. Flexibility is important."
At the beginning, you must use a thin black rope so that the barbarians will find it difficult to detect. Later you can choose a relatively lighter one.
When the agreed time arrived, we came in a hurry and couldn't find the small box, so we used a purse as a substitute.
Before going up the bridge, Jiang Yuzhu's pace suddenly slowed down. She suddenly felt a little sad. In case of an accident and someone died, she actually wanted to see her parents and relatives.
Princess Yutan held Jiang Yuzhu's hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Mo Qianyu's clothes are very strong, and the rope was twisted by Master Xie..."
After Princess Yutan said this, Jiang Yuzhu became even more afraid.
Getting promoted, getting rich, but his wife died. Who knows what Xie Zhaocun was thinking? We should always be on guard against others.
Jiang Yuzhu quietly pulled Princess Yutan closer and said, "I've already decided you're my second sister-in-law. If anything happens to me, all your money and assets will be returned to the Jiang family. Tell my parents to keep them for me. Don't be too sad, just wait for my reincarnation..."
I don’t want this huge wealth to be given to others!
