Chapter 218: Adding Oil
Jiang Huaiqing walks with his feet turned outward, and this is his daily habit.
The prisoner's feet were facing inward, and the details had already exposed him.
Jiang Yuzhu looked at the points Xie Zhao pointed out and agreed that he was right.
"Yuan He, what if the barbarians really captured my second brother and used a substitute to fool us?"
As long as the person is not in front of the two armies, it means that Jiang Huaiqing is safe and sound.
The value of the second brother lies in the fact that he is a hostage.
Jiang Yuzhu first breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again.
Xie Zhao was silent for a while, with a faint smile on his lips that was barely noticeable: "Madam, your concerns are not unreasonable. In this case, why don't you wait for me to explore Sishui City and then give you an answer?"
There are also Xie Zhao's men in Sishui City, but they are not in contact with each other on weekdays.
If you want to get the news, you have to go through this dangerous place.
Jiang Yuzhu looked at Xie Zhao steadily with an incredible look in her eyes: "Yuanhe, are you crazy?"
Although Jiang Huaiqing might be in the hands of the other party, Jiang Yuzhu did not like the method of abandoning one person to save others.
If anything goes wrong, it would be like losing another person.
Although, she believed in Xie Zhao's ability, that didn't mean she would just watch him fall into the fire.
Xie Zhao looked very relaxed, and said casually: "Yuzhu, are you worried about your husband?"
Jiang Yuzhu replied seriously: "Of course!"
If Xie Zhao is sent away, who will protect her?
The camp in the north of the city is not that safe either. There are traps everywhere. Even Mo Changchuan was assassinated by his men whom he had trusted for many years, not to mention the others.
With Xie Zhao's departure, Jiang Yuzhu lost a right-hand man.
Besides, all they have now are speculations, and they have no evidence that Jiang Huaiqing is in the hands of the barbarians.
"If the barbarian had a trump card, why did he get a fake one?"
Neither side makes sense, there are too many possibilities.
Jiang Yuzhu kept silent, and the Da Qi side seemed very silent.
The barbarians were getting impatient and sent someone to provoke them, saying, "Xiao Yutan, are you afraid of death?"
Exchanging the Great Qi Killer God for Jiang Huaiqing is a good deal.
It is said that the God of Death has fallen in love with human beings, so the barbarian made a fake one to fish.
If it succeeds, only Mo Qianyu will be left on the Da Qi side, and the morale of the army will be severely damaged.
The barbarians took the opportunity to attack the border town of Da Qi. If they were lucky, they could capture the border town in one fell swoop before the end of the year!
"Yutan, no, don't listen to them!"
The man in prison clothes spoke. His voice was a little hoarse, but he spoke the Da Qi dialect very fluently.
Listening carefully, it is indeed similar to Jiang Huaiqing's voice, but it is difficult to distinguish from a distance.
After hearing this, Princess Yutan immediately lost her composure and shouted, "Huaiqing, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Yutan, please don't do anything stupid and don't let yourself be swayed by lowly barbarians!"
After the prisoner finished speaking, the barbarian guard became furious and slapped him several times in a row.
From a distance, I could only see blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still did not surrender.
Princess Yutan clutched her heart with her hands and her lips were bleeding from biting them.
She trembled and found her voice after a while: "Yuzhu, it's Huaiqing, this voice is his!"
"Even seeing is not necessarily believing, not to mention we are so far away!"
Jiang Yuzhu continued to have doubts about this. She had seen people who looked similar. Feng Qing and Lu Yunxi looked at least 80% alike.
Otherwise, the original owner would not be so devoted to Lu Yunxi, and after knowing Feng Qing's character, she would still take a gamble and choose Feng Qing as a substitute.
"It's Huaiqing. If it wasn't him, why would he advise me not to do stupid things?"
Because the two of them understood each other, Jiang Huaiqing must have known that no matter how dangerous it was, she would definitely replace him.
On the way to the border town, Princess Yutan and Jiang Huaiqing swore to the moon that they would not live together but die together.
Only the two of them knew these little details.
"Damn you barbarians, we will not spare a single one of them once we invade Sishui City!"
Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her forehead. She rarely saw Princess Yutan go crazy.
The Great Qi God of Killing is so fragile that he can withstand any blow, which indirectly proves that he and his second brother Jiang Huaiqing are in true love.
"When it comes to singing opera, is there any better troupe in the capital than the entire First Floor?"
At the critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu remained calm.
From another perspective, if the prisoner cried and begged Princess Yutan to change him, would Princess Yutan still do so?
All of this is fake, it's just a trap designed by the barbarians.
After another quarter of an hour, the barbarian had lost his patience.
They placed the man on a pyre and lit a bonfire underneath.
The prisoner was tied to the fire. He didn't struggle at all and seemed very quiet.
Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her eyes and sighed, "This is really a bit like my second brother's style."
It’s not that Jiang Huaiqing is not afraid, but his face is more important than anything else, and he is definitely a person who is willing to stick to his guns even when he’s dead.
"If Xiao Yutan doesn't come to exchange after an hour, then you will watch your fiancé burn to ashes with your own eyes!"
"Just imagine how painful it would be to be burned to death by fire."
After the barbarian finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the Da Qi side. Several people sat together drinking and having fun.
Faced with this scene, Princess Yutan felt very tormented.
If you continue to endure this process, your mentality will quickly collapse, which is tantamount to falling into a trap.
Jiang Yuzhu decided to take the initiative and shouted, "Besides exchanging Princess Yutan, you can put forward any conditions. How much gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, or food do you want?"
"Little sister, have you forgotten the integrity of our Jiang family? How can you trade with the barbarians?"
Over the fire, the prisoners exited again.
Jiang Yuzhu turned to look at Xie Zhao and said, "This counterfeit is so good at pretending to be real. He knows that my second brother is reluctant to spend money."
But it’s either money or life, definitely life!
"Little sister, take good care of our parents. I'll be relieved when you're here!"
The prisoner's confession is like his last words.
Jiang Yuzhu asked a few questions and realized that this person knew something about the Jiang family.
"Second brother, don't you want Honghong and her baby anymore?"
At the critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu had an idea.
Before leaving, the second brother sent Honghong to Xie's house.
Princess Yutan also reacted and shouted, "Jiang Huaiqing, explain to me clearly, which goblin is Honghong?"
At the campfire, the prisoner obviously hesitated.
His hesitation made Princess Yutan happy, and she asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you have a concubine and a bastard?"
"Yutan, you see me clearly now. This is who I am. So why bother exchanging me? It's not worth it!"
The prisoner was very smart. He spoke in a very interesting way but never mentioned Honghong.
But precisely because of this, the fact that he is not Jiang Huaiqing is further exposed.
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, Honghong made a contribution.
The person on the fire knew the relationships among the Jiang family, but did not know the existence of Hong Hong. It was most likely that she was an actor hired by the barbarian.
Princess Yutan didn't want to continue to be cold, so she sneered and said, "You have heard that Jiang Huaiqing has a confidante and has a child. He wants me to exchange him for a scumbag and an unfaithful man. You are dreaming!"
"Hurry up and start cooking. If you think the fire is not high enough, I am willing to add a bucket of oil!"
After Princess Yutan finished shouting, she felt happy.
On the side, Jiang Yuzhu felt inexplicably distressed for her second brother, who was tricked by the barbarians and had a bloody face, and his reputation was ruined!
