Chapter 35 The Arrogant Prince 2
"You want to kill me? You dare?" Murong Gu slowly approached her.
Xu Qiuqiu retreated repeatedly, her heart pounding with fear. In her panic, she fumbled for the dagger she had just used on the carriage. Looking at the man so close to her, she raised the dagger and stabbed him.
As a result, she was stopped in mid-air by Murong Gu, who grabbed her wrist tightly.
Anger surged within Murong Gu. How had the woman who used to obey him so obediently changed? She even dared to kill him? "If I didn't need you to exchange for Yun Qing, I would have sent you on your way right now!"
After he finished speaking, he tightened his grip considerably, and Xu Qiuqiu felt as if he was about to crush her bones.
After threatening her, Murong Gu pushed her away, tied her up again with new rope, and threw the dagger away.
After doing all this, Murong Gu immediately went out to ride a horse, and even sped up his pace.
Xu Qiuqiu was in despair. Was she really going to be sent away as a hostage?
Is there any way for her to save herself? If it really comes to that, she would rather die than live a wretched life.
"003, if I commit suicide, will I still have a chance to go to the next world to do missions?" Xu Qiuqiu asked, her mind a little confused.
“Host, if you fail to complete the mission in this world, you will not be able to go to the next world. In addition, you will be reverted back to this world until the mission is completed,” 003 answered truthfully.
Is this a game? You can save and start over? Xu Qiuqiu was amazed at herself; even at a time like this, she still had the mind to complain. "Then what are the missions in this world?"
"It's similar to the last world; just max out the female lead's happiness stat." 003 wanted to encourage Xu Qiuqiu, so it thought for a moment and said, "Host, I believe in you! Don't give up easily!"
Hearing 003's encouragement, Xu Qiuqiu's mood calmed down a bit. She had thought carefully about killing the male lead. If she succeeded, she would be free. If she failed, she was sure the male lead wouldn't kill her, since he still needed to exchange her for Xia Yunqing.
Unfortunately, she failed. The male lead was skilled in martial arts, and her wrist was in excruciating pain. She dared not make any rash moves, but waiting to die was not in her nature.
The male protagonist sent her to be a hostage, but she refused to be slaughtered. She wanted to rebel and hand over the military deployment map. Such important military intelligence should be enough to save her life, right?
The two armies are now evenly matched, and the male lead is personally leading the army. If the soldiers of Lingyue Kingdom win, they can kill the male lead, which would be a way for her to avenge the original female lead.
Thinking about it this way, being sent to Fang Jun's camp doesn't seem like such a bad thing. But how can she see the commander-in-chief?
If she couldn't see the commander, she would still be thrown into the soldiers' tents, and she would still be unable to escape the fate of being gang-raped and humiliated.
Forget it, let's recover first. When the time comes, she'll just tell the soldiers of Lingyue Kingdom about the deal and have them take her to see their commander.
After making her plans, Xu Qiuqiu closed her eyes to rest. She drove the carriage even faster than before, covering a journey that would normally take an hour and a half in just one hour.
The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Murong Gu roughly pulled her off the carriage.
Xu Qiuqiu winced in pain. Couldn't the male lead be a little gentler?
Murong Gu grabbed Xu Qiuqiu's shoulder and spoke to the person opposite him, "I've brought the person. Switch Yun Qing with her."
"Your Majesty..." Xia Yunqing's eyes immediately welled up with tears upon seeing Murong Gu, "I'm so scared..."
"King Qi is really willing to sacrifice, losing a great general in exchange for a useless woman."
Hearing the voice, Xu Qiuqiu felt it was very familiar, and she looked up.
Not far ahead, there was a young man wearing silver dragon scale armor. He was not wearing a helmet, his long hair was tied up high, and a sword hung at his waist. He was tall and slender, and his appearance was exquisite, bewitching and flamboyant. How come he looks exactly like Qi Chen?
However, his gaze was cold, making him seem unapproachable.
Her mouth was gagged with a rag, so she couldn't speak; she could only watch him silently.
Noticing that Xu Qiuqiu was looking at him, Zhou Zichen also glanced at her.
Her gaze stirred a strange thought in him, a strange idea that he should hide her away.
He then frowned and didn't look at her again.
"Stop talking nonsense! Change the person!" Murong Gu felt heartbroken when he saw his beloved crying, but he didn't show it on his face.
Zhou Zichen scoffed, and then the two of them simultaneously pushed the person they were holding toward the other.
After taking Xia Yunqing over, Murong Gu didn't even glance at Xu Qiuqiu before quickly riding away with Xia Yunqing.
Xu Qiuqiu watched the male protagonist and his white moonlight running away quickly. She thought to herself, "I didn't expect that the people of these two countries are really trustworthy. They said they would exchange hostages and they really only exchanged hostages. Neither side brought anyone to launch a surprise attack."
She looked at Zhou Zichen, who was wearing armor, and wondered if he was a general.
Zhou Zichen ripped the rag out of her mouth and said sneer, "General Shi, I've long heard of your reputation. How does it feel to be a prisoner now?"
“Ah Chen…” Xu Qiuqiu looked at the familiar face and subconsciously called out that name.
Then she saw the man's eyes grow colder, and his tone was slightly angry as he asked, "How dare you address me by my name?"
Seeing Zhou Zichen's cold gaze, she realized that he was not Qi Chen. She immediately said, "Please spare my life, sir. I am willing to hand over the military distribution map of Qi Kingdom."
"Oh? What trick are you trying to pull?" Zhou Zichen waved his hand and ordered the cavalrymen beside him, "Take them away!"
Seeing the soldiers getting closer, Xu Qiuqiu hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute!"
Then, looking sincerely at Zhou Zichen, he said, "I am very sincere. Please believe me. How could I continue to be loyal to Qi Kingdom after how it treated me? I wish it were dead!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Zichen and found his gaze deep. He pondered for a long time before finally speaking, "Untie her."
Xu Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she was safe for the time being.
Just as the soldier was about to reach Xu Qiuqiu and untie her, Zhou Zichen felt inexplicably irritated and shouted to stop him, "Stop!"
Then the soldier stopped moving and stood still. When Xu Qiuqiu saw this, her heart tightened. Would he want to go back on his word?
Then she saw Zhou Zichen slowly walk over and personally untie her.
The soldiers standing there were all astonished. This was none other than the Asura War God, King Yan'an! He actually untied a prisoner himself, and even helped the prisoner onto his horse and rode with her.
They had never seen Prince Yan'an touch anyone, especially women. Any woman who touched even a single finger of his could be dragged away and chopped off.
