Jiang Yuzhu's body was imprisoned. She closed her eyes and sighed sadly.
Just a little bit and she could escape.
Having fallen into Lu Yunxi's hands again, this guy no longer trusts her.
Talking too much and making more mistakes in front of a crazy critic would only make him more crazy. Jiang Yuzhu gritted her teeth and endured it, not daring to make any noise.
"Jiang Yuzhu, how many of your words are true?"
Lu Yunxi's eyes were red and filled with a biting coldness. He used one hand to cut Jiang Yuzhu's neck.
Without any mercy, another wound was cut on the white neck and blood gushed out.
The immense pain and panic nearly overwhelmed Jiang Yuzhu. Her mind was in a turmoil, yet she had to force herself to remain calm. She gritted her teeth and said, "This is all true, but why should I believe you?"
"What good will it do me to help you fulfill your wish? I'll definitely be the first to be silenced."
As long as Jiang Yuzhu gave in, Lu Yunxi would be angry. She could only gamble that Lu Yunxi still hoped to use her to get things done and did not want to send her to see the King of Hell immediately.
But he was caught a second time, and his hope of escape was slim.
Lu Yunxi's lips curled up into a strange smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He bent down and whispered in Jiang Yuzhu's ear, "This makes a huge difference. Diing first or later, whether you can leave an intact body, and even whether your beautiful face and eyeballs can be preserved intact..."
A moist and slightly cool breath came to her ears, and Jiang Yuzhu felt cold all over. She wanted to curse Lu Yunxi's ancestors in her heart, but her mind was working rapidly, thinking about how to escape the immediate danger.
Live in the present, try to be comfortable, and worry about the future later.
"Cousin, I understand if you say that."
Jiang Yuzhu pointed at the sky and said, "It's cold on rainy days. If I get sick with a fever, our plan will be delayed."
"Humph, Jiang Yuzhu, you really know the current situation."
Lu Yunxi sneered twice. He had never seen such a silver-tongued and cowardly person.
Jiang Yuzhu covered the wound on her neck and said with resentment: "You have seen it now."
Lu Yunxi: “…”
One word from him could decide Jiang Yuzhu's life or death. Even at this critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu still dared to argue!
After completing his mission, Lu Yunxi will definitely pry open Jiang Yuzhu's head to see what is inside.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the ground was hit by the rain, with deep and shallow pits formed by the rain.
A few dozen meters outside the city wall, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came.
Countless lanterns looked like a long dragon. Even in the dim light of a rainy night, one could still make out that there were quite a few people.
Lu Yunxi carried Jiang Yuzhu to the city wall and looked down. His eyes trembled slightly, without a trace of warmth in them. He said sarcastically, "Jiang Yuzhu, your lover has come to save you!"
In front of the crowd, the person riding a horse was Xie Zhao.
When Xie Zhao found his lair, Lu Yunxi looked at Jiang Yuzhu meaningfully.
"Not a lover, but a husband."
The distance was too far, and Jiang Yuzhu couldn't see Xie Zhao's expression. The pain from the wound clearly reminded her that what she saw was not a nightmare, but reality.
Xie Zhao brought people to rescue her, but the timing was not good.
It happened that Jiang Yuzhu was held hostage by Lu Yunxi and was at the mercy of others.
On a rainy night, the two sides were not far apart. Xie Zhao's men held bows and crossbows and aimed at the direction of the city wall.
Seeing this, Lu Yunxi pushed Jiang Yuzhu to the front as a human shield and shamefully hid behind her.
"Master, what should we do?"
Outside the city gate, Hong Jin and Hong Xiu, who followed, looked pale and panicked.
Even if their men surrounded the enemy and their wives were in the hands of the enemy, they would not dare to act rashly.
Xie Zhao lowered his eyes, raised his hand to make a stop gesture, and said in a clear voice over the sound of rain: "Lu Yunxi, you are already surrounded by enemies on all sides, surrender."
The purpose of tricking Lu Yunxi into Xinyang was, on the one hand, to buy time for Fugui and Wanwan, and on the other hand, to catch all the remaining followers of Lu Yunxi.
All the credit goes to his wife.
Xie Zhao's hands holding the reins turned pale, and he managed to hold himself back from falling off the horse. It was because he was a step too late!
In front of his subordinates, Xie Zhao did not show his emotions and tried his best to remain calm.
"What kind of joke did I hear?"
Lu Yunxi sneered, mocking Xie Zhao's naivety.
As long as Jiang Yuzhu is in hand, there is still one last trump card.
Seeing Xie Zhao making the gesture of drawing the bow and shooting an arrow, Lu Yunxi narrowed his eyes, held Jiang Yuzhu in front of him and said, "Xie Zhao, you have to find the right position and don't miss the target."
The two were gambling, both gambling on the importance of Jiang Yuzhu.
Lu Yunxi is not a fool. After being fooled several times, he saw through Xie Zhao's tricks.
It turns out that Xie Zhao had deliberately hired someone to assassinate someone in order to send a message to Jiang Yuzhu!
The couple conspired together, with perfect tacit understanding, and treated him as a fool.
If I hadn't returned early because of a bad premonition, Jiang Yuzhu would have escaped!
"Xie Zhao, you're known as a fortune teller, but did you expect this? If you succeed today by killing your wife, you'll definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame."
As Lu Yunxi spoke, he took out a dagger and slashed Jiang Yuzhu's neck twice more.
However, this time the action was relatively minor, with only superficial injuries.
"Tell your people to retreat a mile, otherwise it won't just be a single blow."
Half of Lu Yunxi's face was scarlet in the firelight, and the other half was in the shadow where no light could reach. He stretched out his hand and pinched Jiang Yuzhu's neck, with veins bulging on the back of his hand.
Jiang Yuzhu's eyes went dark, her body went limp and she was about to fall down, and Lu Yunxi lifted her clothes again.
This scene was too dazzling. Xie Zhaoru was hit like a heavy hammer and felt an excruciating pain in his heart.
Unable to maintain composure any longer, Xie Zhao suppressed the sweet taste in his throat, took a deep breath, and asked, "Lu Yunxi, what are your conditions?"
"I can plead with the Emperor on your behalf, considering you are a royal family member..."
Xie Zhao's body was soaked by the rain and he felt cold.
The only solution now is to keep Lu Yunxi stable. Xie Zhao only wants Jiang Yuzhu, and he is ultimately one step behind.
Once Jiang Yuzhu follows Lu Yunxi into the mountains, it will be even more difficult for us to take action.
"Plead for mercy? As a royal relative, will Xiao She be willing to give up the throne to me?"
Lu Yunxi didn't bother to expose Xiao She's hypocrisy. He smiled a bloodthirsty smile and said, "I've changed my mind. Now I just want to see how far you're willing to go for Jiang Yuzhu."
As he spoke, Lu Yunxi ordered his men to take out a rope and tie it around Jiang Yuzhu's ankles, pretending to throw her off the city gate.
Jiang Yuzhu was afraid of heights and cursed, "Lu Yunxi, I'm not your enemy. How can you take it out on a woman?"
In the past, Jiang Yuzhu's provocation might have been somewhat effective, but now surrounded, Lu Yunxi threw himself at the risk of his life and shouted, "If you want her to live, kneel down before me!"
Xie Zhao is Xiao She's confidant and a first-rank official. Lu Yunxi has been unable to defeat Xie Zhao several times.
He felt very comfortable now that he had the opportunity to rub Xie Zhao's dignity to the ground.
Perhaps, Xie Zhao also knew that he would not kill Jiang Yuzhu, it just depended on whether Xie Zhao dared to take the gamble.
