Chapter 116 Bad Idea
As soon as Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu arrived at the transaction location, Mo Qianyu, Princess Yutan and others followed.
As soon as Princess Yutan got off her horse, her face turned red instantly. She pointed ahead and said, "Look, is there anyone in the cage?"
The moonlight was dim, and the cage was covered with white cloth with only a corner showing. 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 it 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, thinking. After a while, he gently pulled Jiang Yuzhu's sleeve, his expression softened a little, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, your husband already has a way."
Xie Zhao had 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 is not intact, you will never get anything in your life!"
As for what the other party wanted, Jiang Yuzhu had no idea.
It was quiet in the middle of the night, with only a slight 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 over 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 the jade token that those people are talking about?"
Jiang Yuzhu shook her head. She had never heard Zhao Fendie mention it, and she couldn't remember Biyun and 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 involved instead.
She won't do a business that will lose money!
After a long while, the other party raised his voice in surprise and asked, "Madam Xie, I heard that you and Miss Zhao are as close as sisters. Are you even disregarding your sister's life?"
Jiang Yuzhu's lips curved coldly as she said sarcastically, "Since we want to negotiate a deal, we should choose a method that is beneficial to 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 guys are trying to sow discord like the gossiping 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 mess with her.
Besides, how could the barbarian, who was so shameless, 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 someone 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 instructions. If they were not very 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 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 can easily make you faint, and there will be no chance of rescue.
Xie Zhao analyzed the terrain and possible emergencies, and said in a slightly cold but firm voice: "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? However, the barbarian could tell that she was the weakest person present. There must be someone behind this, and that person had better pray that he is well hidden, otherwise Jiang Yuzhu will definitely cut him into pieces.
When Princess Yutan saw Jiang Yuzhu's expression, she understood.
Jiang Yuzhu had a bad reputation, but she treated her relatives, sisters, and even servants very well. Once someone fell for her poison, they would 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 sex appeal to seduce the barbarian? If he showed his face, Zhao Fendie would only die faster because of the old and new 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 and right.
Jiang Yuzhu's skirt was very long, and if she had a thin black string on her feet, it would be hard to notice at night.
If the barbarians find out that they have been tricked and cut down the single-plank bridge, relying on Xie Zhao to save them is not enough, and 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? It's important to act according to circumstances. Flexibility is important."
At the beginning, you must use a thin black rope so that the barbarians will have difficulty noticing it. You can choose a relatively lighter one later.
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 was gone, 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 Lord Xie..."
After Princess Yutan said this, Jiang Yuzhu became even more afraid.
Getting promoted, getting rich, but losing his wife, who knows what Xie Zhaocun is thinking? We must always be on guard against others.
Jiang Yuzhu quietly pulled Princess Yutan and said, "I have already determined that you are my second sister-in-law. If anything happens to me, all the money and property will be returned to the Jiang family. Tell my parents to keep it for me. Don't be too sad, just wait for me to be reincarnated..."
With such enormous wealth, I would never want to let others take advantage of it!
