To the west of Xiliang, there are continuous high mountains, and a valley is nestled among the overlapping mountains. From a distance, it looks like a cloth bag, which is perfect for flanking.
When Xie Fu led his men over, the bandits had already been captured by the combined forces of people from various prefectures. Some of them resisted too fiercely and were simply shot to death with arrows. The remaining ones who knew what was good for them were kept alive to extract information.
As soon as Xie Fu emerged from the underground cell, reeking of blood, he turned around and saw a familiar figure.
The area around the prison is full of men, all of them rough and uncouth. It's hard not to notice such a pretty girl when she suddenly appears.
How did you get here?
Xie Fu walked over, his brows furrowed with impatience.
Shu Yun smelled the fishy odor. "The old man sent someone to bring me here."
She looked up at Xie Fu, "You have blood on you, are you injured?"
Xie Fu looked down at her, his concerned expression truly like a human skin mask, perfectly fitting her face.
After seeing it so many times, he began to wonder if his intuition was wrong, and whether this person genuinely cared about him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shu Yun reached out to check his pulse, "Let me see."
Xie Fu stepped aside to avoid her hand. "I don't care how you managed to convince the old man, just don't mess with me, or you won't even know why you've lost your head."
Shu Yun acted as if she hadn't heard him, grabbed his hand directly, and lightly touched the inside of his wrist with her index finger to quickly check his pulse.
Xie Fu's expression suddenly darkened, and his strong, thin arm gripped her slender neck, which could be broken with just a little force.
His tone was grim. "You know martial arts?"
Shu Yun felt a little uncomfortable from his pinching, and it was difficult for her to speak. Her eyes were stinging. "I didn't say I couldn't."
Xie gripped the armrest tightly, and those around her looked on with regret. Was such a stunning beauty going to perish here?
The woman who was stabbed to death by the young master back then was probably the same; she didn't even have time to say another word before her life was cut short.
Xie Fu looked at her red eyes and felt a little annoyed.
Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at him stubbornly. No matter how much she suffered, she didn't beg for mercy, nor did she show any fear of him like others. All she felt was a barely perceptible sadness and grievance.
Xie Fu's face was cold and hard, but he finally let go, watching her straighten up and rub her neck.
Her skin was really fair; after choking her neck for just a short while, it turned completely red.
Releasing her hand left Xie Fu feeling somewhat agitated. He warned her, "Don't let me see you again."
Shu Yun shook her head, "That won't do."
Xie Fu didn't know what was wrong with him. Looking into her quiet and clear eyes, which were filled with intense emotions, he inexplicably couldn't bring himself to touch her.
Seeing her stubbornly shaking her head, he gritted his teeth, said nothing, and turned to walk away. He might as well let her be. Since the old man had agreed to let her stay with him, then let her stay. Keeping her under his watchful eye would be a good opportunity to see what kind of trouble she was up to.
She rubbed her neck, having lost her divine protection. Jiang Yan's grip was quite strong, pinching her painfully.
In this life, he is not obedient or cute at all; instead, he is like a grumpy wolf cub who doesn't even like her.
Forget it, why bother arguing with someone who doesn't remember anything? The important thing is that this matter can't get out. What kind of thing is it for a dignified god to be choked by a mortal?
