Chapter 159 Against My Will
"Brave man, if you have something to say, please talk nicely. Pulling a knife at every turn will only affect harmony!"
Jiang Yuzhu wailed inwardly and began to reflect on herself, realizing that she was wrong.
First, I checked the almanac before going out, but then I forced myself to go out on days when it is taboo to travel, hoping for luck.
After meeting Lu Yunxi, he did not turn around and run immediately, as this guy accurately blocked his escape route.
Also, when you pray at the Huguo Temple, you should make your attitude clear to the Buddha: you will never see Lu Yunxi again in this life!
As expected, meeting the God of Plague brings bad luck.
Jiang Yuzhu was held hostage, and Lu Yunxi stepped back in fear, not daring to make any move.
"You...let go of my cousin. As long as you have something to ask for, no matter what it is, I will give it to you with both hands."
Lu Yunxi's body swayed weakly, with his hands covering his heart, as if he was in great pain.
He looked at Jiang Yuzhu, his eyes full of affection.
Jiang Yuzhu just wanted to curse. It wasn't Lu Yunxi who was held hostage, but she was the one in danger. Why was Lu Yunxi still talking nonsense? If she really wanted to, she could have changed her!
The person behind him smiled strangely and said, "Jiang Yuzhu, I never thought that someone as fickle as you could always attract a few infatuated people."
"What do you want?"
The other party took advantage of her weakness to lure her and did not kill her immediately, which shows that Jiang Yuzhu still has value.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Yuzhu said in a domineering tone: "There is a good saying, money makes the world go round. No matter what price someone offers to bribe you, I will pay ten times as much!"
"And, as long as you turn back from your mistakes, I will forgive you for what happened."
After calming down, Jiang Yuzhu began to negotiate with the man in purple who had kidnapped her.
As for the real culprit behind this, she had no clue.
Not to mention that the Jiang and Xie families have many enemies, even Jiang Yuzhu herself offended the Xuan family not long ago.
Could it be that the Xuan family is behind this?
The purple-clothed man laughed teasingly: "Yes, you are worthy of being Jiang Fulu's daughter. You are eloquent and I am tempted by the offer of ten times the price. However, in our line of work, we must abide by the code of conduct. Since you have agreed, you will not regret it!"
Money is important, but reputation is even more important.
The man in purple whistled, and a fast horse came running over from a distance.
Jiang Yuzhu winked at Hongli and pretended to agree: "You are not bad. This lady likes you very much. If you take this business, why don't you work with this lady in the future?"
Jiang Yuzhu is a generous person who lets bygones be bygones and lets bygones be bygones.
Purple-clothed man: “…”
Hearing the conditions, the man in purple was extremely excited and was almost led into a ditch by Jiang Yuzhu.
"Haha, Jiang Yuzhu, no matter what you say now, I won't be fooled. Let's close this deal first!"
If I fall into his hands, my life or death is uncertain, and it is hard to say whether there will be any chance of cooperation in the future.
Jiang Yuzhu tried it out and decided that it was safe for the time being. The next step was to find out the mastermind behind it and take revenge.
If you can't escape, then everyone who has a grudge against you will be suspected and will be implicated.
Anyway, Jiang Yuzhu is unhappy, so let's destroy it together!
"Who are you? Who ordered you to do this? Let my cousin go!"
Seeing the man in purple grabbing Jiang Yuzhu and putting her on the horse, Lu Yunxi quickly caught up with him, his eyes full of bloodshot and he bit his lips until blood dripped out.
"Tsk tsk, there are always passionate lovers in the world. Since you are in love with my beautiful girl, I won't catch one more of you!"
The man in purple threw out a rope, and the rope was wrapped around Lu Yunxi as if it had eyes. The man in purple used force to put the man on the horse's back.
With three people riding together, the horses' backs felt heavy.
"Brave man, you are definitely not a horse lover."
Jiang Yuzhu smacked her lips. She didn't want to drag Lu Yunxi into this at all.
I've had experience before, this cousin has done nothing but cause trouble and has been of no help.
It was obvious that Lu Yunxi was meddling in other people's affairs and was in the way. In the eyes of the world, he suffered a great loss. Jiang Yuzhu really had no place to seek justice!
The purple-clothed man was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"
"Need I say more? The horse's back is bent."
Lu Yunxi looked thin, but he was a man after all. It must be very uncomfortable for three people to squeeze onto one horse!
Jiang Yuzhu disliked Lu Yunxi and originally wanted to drive her away so that she could escape without any guilt.
Otherwise it will be an additional burden and we will be caught in the dilemma of whether to save or not.
The purple-clothed man stroked the horse's back, thinking that Jiang Yuzhu's words made sense, and immediately put them into action, throwing Lu Yunxi down and saying, "Forget it, just run after us!"
Lu Yunxi caught up with her, intending to seize the opportunity and save the beauty.
Women are soft-hearted and always have different feelings towards those who share their sufferings.
To get my cousin on my side is to get the support of the Jiang family.
Especially now that Jiang Huaiqing is following the Mo family to the north, it is just right to recruit him as a spy.
Lu Yunxi planned to direct and act the role himself, but he didn't expect that someone was plotting against Jiang Yuzhu. After he got the news, he took advantage of the situation.
As a high-ranking figure, he never expected to be humiliated in this way.
When Lu Yunxi came to his senses, he had already run several hundred meters behind the horse with the rope on his body.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Cousin, give up. They want to catch me, not you!"
Lu Yunxi ran behind the horse, feeling as if he was out of sight.
There was a hint of light in the distant sky and the rain subsided.
Lu Yunxi was already cursing Jiang Yuzhu's ancestors in his heart, but he still tried hard to play the role of the poor cousin.
He fell down and got up again, covered in mud.
Even so, Lu Yunxi gritted his teeth and stood firm. If he backed down, all his efforts would be in vain.
When they entered an area surrounded by mountains, someone came out to meet them, and Lu Yunxi finally sat on the horse.
However, he was shirtless.
The visitor saw that Lu Yunxi's clothes were dirty and was afraid that the mud would get on him, so he simply and roughly stripped Lu Yunxi's clothes.
Lu Yunxi: “…”
It’s so hateful! He must destroy this den of thieves!
After entering the mountains, the terrain began to become complicated.
Jiang Yuzhu and Lu Yunxi were blindfolded and escorted into the mountains.
The two were tied together. Jiang Yuzhu thought about it carefully and decided to unite with the God of Plague. So, she said the most unfaithful words in her life: "Cousin, I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."
Lu Yunxi cursed in her heart, but she said firmly: "Cousin, the reason why I came from Jiangnan to find you is that I heard that you are not doing well. Xie Zhao can't protect you, so I will protect you!"
The two cursed at each other, each with his own thoughts, but their words did not reveal anything.
After hearing this, the purple-clothed man sneered and said, "Why, do you two want to be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks?"
He has a habit of not being able to see other people being affectionate with each other, which is annoying.
The purple-robed man asked, "Scholar, only one of you and Jiang Yuzhu can survive, who do you choose?"
There is only one chance, and when faced with life and death, one's true heart will often be exposed.
Lu Yunxi answered without hesitation: "As long as you promise me not to hurt my cousin, I am willing to die for her!"
Anyway, lying doesn’t cost money. Lu Yunxi wanted to escape, and just a few people couldn’t stop him.
His tone was sincere, just to impress Jiang Yuzhu, even a heart of stone could be melted by it.
The purple-robed man savored it carefully, and then asked Jiang Yuzhu, "What about you?"
