Chapter 29 Chapter 29 First Release
Having bumped into someone, Wu Jingxun subconsciously tensed up his mind and thrust the golden hairpin forward—
But the golden hairpin and the hand were all wrapped in an even warmer palm.
"Are you crazy? You're stabbing your own people."
He said this in a sarcastic tone. Wu Jingxun, who had just escaped from danger, raised her eyelids in a daze. What attracted her most was naturally the pair of amber-like pupils.
It’s Pei Huaiguang.
He realized who it was, but his brain was always a beat slow. Wu Jingxun then remembered the conversation between the two brothers that he heard when he was lying in the medicine room of the clinic.
Wu Jingxun didn't have time to feel awkward or angry, she just said in a tight voice: "Be careful——"
There are pursuers following her!
Pei Huaiguang tightly grasped the hand that held hers, and with the other hand, he flexibly swung the long knife in his hand, and in an instant, the strangely dressed pursuer behind him was killed.
The splattered blood fell on the girls' faces and skirts, but they did not scream. Seeing Pei Huaiguang quickly kill the wizards who had been harassing them for a long time, they could not help but shed tears. They began to tear off their skirts and bandage each other's wounds.
The long sword was soaked with blood, and Pei Huaiguang held her hand tightly and never let go.
Even if it's an emergency, this is so disgraceful!
She pulled her hand out with a stern face and explained to the girls behind her, "This is the Second Prince of the Pei family."
Huang Meizhu's body and face were also stained with blood, some of it their own, some from others. Hearing this, she felt relieved: "He's your future brother-in-law, that's good, that's good... Wait, Pei Erlang is here, so Prince Pei will surely come to save you too, right?"
Then they don’t have to worry!
Wu Jingxun also looked at Pei Huaiguang inquiringly.
Pei Huaiguang always liked to keep a cold face, and this subconscious action just covered up the pain that was rising in his heart at that moment.
He was the one who found her first.
It was also him who had just swung a knife to kill someone to save her.
Why don't you trust him more?
Seeing that the young man's mood suddenly worsened, Wu Jingxun didn't know why and whispered, "Everyone is injured. It's important to get out first."
Is she hurt?
Pei Huaiguang suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, and carefully examined her. He noticed from the girl's frown that her other hand was hanging down, with the wrist hastily wrapped with a handkerchief. Perhaps because they were too close, he could smell the faint smell of blood coming from there.
"How did you get hurt?"
Wu Jingxun couldn't bear such a burning and persistent gaze, so he turned his head away slightly.
Huang Meizhu came forward to speak. She had met Pei Erlang several times before and felt somewhat familiar with him. "You don't know, do you? The owner of this underground palace is a fool who believed the sorcerer's slander. He kidnapped us and wanted to bleed us, to give him, or his wife, a blood transfusion... Tell me, if you didn't have a mental disorder, how could you believe such things?"
These were what the wizards muttered while they were performing their rituals. It was thanks to them that they expressed their malicious intent so directly, otherwise, they would not have been able to inspire the girls' desire to survive. They ambushed a wizard and disrupted the order of their rituals and incantations. The wizards were thrown into confusion, danced to the wrong beat, and fell one after another onto the stage. This gave them a chance to escape in a hurry.
Sacrifice and witchcraft.
Pei Huaiguang frowned even more when he thought of the mysterious shamans on the grassland.
·
There weren't many guards in the underground palace, but there were many shamans dressed strangely and chanting incoherent spells. Seeing the guards barging in, the shamans were horrified. Pei Jinguang had no idea what they were muttering, so he just winked and said, "Don't let them die so easily."
Pei Jinguang randomly picked a witch who looked afraid of death to lead the way, and he saw an altar.
A large and intricate pattern was drawn on the altar with blood. In the center was a basin made of colored glaze, which was filled with blood. Under the illumination of the luminous pearls embedded in the walls, it emitted an extremely ominous light.
Bloodstains fell on the altar, drawing a hideous and blurry trail, and vague traces of struggle and fighting could be seen.
Pei Jinguang frowned even more tightly. Prince Rong was really crazy for that damn resurrection technique.
This underground palace is very large. Pei Jinguang didn't know if there were any dangers in other places. He took his men to search around. Except for the dead guards and those wizards, the entire underground palace was too empty and quiet.
Prince Rong left no trace, or rather, he would not show up at all in this plan.
Pei Jinguang stood there for a long while, then gripped the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, take those girls out first."
Prince Rong has a deeper plan. This failure may just be a bait for the next incident.
The two groups finally met. Pei Jinguang saw that Wu Jingxun's face and body were stained with blood. His expression changed, and he no longer cared about the etiquette and rules. He hurried forward and asked, "Are you okay?"
Pei Huaiguang stared at the two people's clasped hands.
Shake off his hand, why don't you shake it off now? !
Pei Jinguang's hands were warm and broad, with thick calluses on his knuckles and palms, but they were not irritating. Moreover, he was very tactful and only gently placed his hands on her fingers, not holding them tightly like Pei Huaiguang, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Wait, why did she subconsciously compare the two brothers?
A faint blush crept onto Wu Jingxun's pale cheeks. She withdrew her hand and nodded, "I'm fine, it's just that Tage..."
Pei Jinguang followed Wu Jingxun's worried gaze and saw a girl with an extremely pale face who was unable to stand steadily and could only lean on someone else's arms. The cloth tied around her wrist could no longer stop the blood from flowing out.
If you look closely, you will see that almost every girl has wounds on her wrists.
Thinking of the blood in the glass cup on the altar, Pei Jinguang's face turned pale. What a bunch of beasts!
He took out the only Gu Yuan Dan from the medicine bag he carried with him and handed it to Chen Tage. Then he whispered to Wu Jingxun, "Her injuries are more serious. I..."
"I understand." Wu Jingxun interrupted him for the first time, a glimmer of trust in her slightly curved fox eyes. "I know everything. You don't need to explain."
However, the young general who could lead the army to repel the invading enemies and guard the peace of the border at a young age naturally knew the value of life.
Looking at her smile, Pei Jinguang felt his heart warmed and a little indescribable heat. She understood him, so there was no need for him to say more.
A low chuckle interrupted the two people's gaze.
"Hey, keep going, keep going." Huang Meizhu giggled. She just liked to see such a talented couple!
The other girls also looked at him with curiosity and shyness.
Even the group of soldiers behind Pei Jinguang, who looked very serious and orderly, were peeking in...
Wu Jingxun lowered her head, her face flushed.
Pei Jinguang wanted to laugh, but he knew that if he laughed, his fiancée, who was always thin-skinned, would probably get angry and embarrassed, so he had to turn around and scold his personal soldiers.
Pei Huaiguang stood aside holding a knife, looking at them coldly.
He just has a more legitimate status than me.
If not, it may not be the same as him.
"Brother, you'd better get out of here." A hint of sarcasm flashed across Pei Huaiguang's face, which was much more delicate than a woman's. "It's not convenient for everyone to toast and congratulate you here, right?"
Pei Jinguang subconsciously looked at Wu Jingxun. She leaned towards Huang Meizhu silently, feeling a little embarrassed by what Erlang said.
He walked over and patted his brother's shoulder. Although he was tall and thin, the explosive power beneath his clothes should not be underestimated.
Pei Jinguang looked at the blood-stained sword and smiled: "Thanks to Erlang for being here today, I'll treat you to a drink after we get out."
Pei Huaiguang ignored him and turned to look at Wu Jingxun: "I saved my sister-in-law, but she won't show any appreciation at all, right?"
Wu Jingxun didn't react for a moment.
Pei Jinguang was already standing half a step in front of her.
"It's said that husband and wife are one. Jingxun and I are engaged. It's the same for me to repay your kindness to her." The young man's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, but only Pei Huaiguang, who was staring at him and forming a subtle confrontation, knew how cold his brother's face was now. "Erlang, we are family, aren't we?"
The smiles on everyone's faces froze.
...Why does it feel like the atmosphere is weird?
Pei Huaiguang looked at Pei Jinguang intently, then looked at Wu Jingxun, and found that there was no reflection of himself in her charming and beautiful fox eyes, and he couldn't help but become even angrier.
"Yes, brother, you're right. Since we're all family, my future sister-in-law's affairs are also my affairs. There's no need to be so clear about the differences."
Wu Jingxun didn't like his sarcastic words, so she just fluttered her eyelashes and looked at him: "When I get out, I will personally thank Mr. Pei." The implication was that she politely rejected the idea of being a family in his words.
The second son of Pei.
From benefactor, Pei Erlang to Second Master Pei, Pei Huaiguang had no doubt that when they had children in the future, she would rather call the child his second uncle than call him by his proper name.
It seemed that in her eyes, he had always been a person in the secular world who could be replaced at any time.
Pei Huaiguang fell silent. Pei Jinguang looked around and said softly to Wu Jingxun, "Follow me."
Wu Jingxun nodded.
Seeing that they were sticking close to each other all the way, Pei Huaiguang fell behind the team by a few steps. His face, stained with blood, looked even more like a jade-faced demon, as cold as ice and snow. The personal soldiers who wanted to come forward and talk to him had to give up the idea.
The commander's younger brother looks very troublesome.
At this moment, something strange happened.
The personal guard who was walking ahead, exploring the way, came down hurriedly with a serious expression on his face: "Commander, the tunnel gate that was originally open up there... has been closed."
So far, they have only found this one exit, which has been sealed...
Everyone's face was heavy, but Pei Huaiguang's voice, which sounded like both mockery and sighing, was heard from behind.
"That's good now. No one can drink at your wedding banquet, brother and sister-in-law."

-
Xuan Mingzhu had been married into the Lu family for three years, serving her uncle and aunt and managing the household chores. Everyone in the Lu family and even in Jiankang City admired her virtue and propriety.
Only her husband.
Lu Yanting, the respected Dali Temple Minister who came from a wealthy family, won the top three places in the imperial examinations, and always treated her indifferently.
Tonight, Lu Yanting once again rested alone in the study without saying a word.
The delicious food that was served to celebrate their third wedding anniversary was already cold.
Xuan Mingzhu's face was as gloomy as water, and she broke a piece of the corner of the table.
She had suffered so much injustice, but she couldn't even touch his body.
Others thought she lived a life of luxury, but they didn't know that she could only eat porridge and small dishes every night.
Xuan Mingzhu sneered and kicked open the study door.
If you sleep with me again, I’ll divorce this bastard!
·
Lu Yanting was shocked to find that his wife, who had always been quiet and gentle, was so strong.
After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, he closed his eyes and calmed himself down.
But then Xuan Mingzhu said coldly, "Husband, let's get a divorce."
A flash of thunder passed by, and Xuan Mingzhu watched Lu Yanting's mouth opening and closing.
What did he say?
A white light flashed before Xuan Mingzhu's eyes, and when she woke up, she was seventeen years old again.
Yunying is unmarried and has nothing to do with Lu Yanting.
·
Lu Yanting felt an indescribable emotion about this bizarre encounter.
Thinking of the crazy bliss of last night, a faint blush appeared on the young man's face.
He was going to find his young wife.
Unexpectedly, he ran into her holding a martial arts competition to win a husband.
The onlookers exclaimed.
Oh, Yu Lang, who was loved by thousands of girls in Jiankang City, was kicked off the stage by Xuan Shisan Niang!
Xuan Mingzhu looked down at his embarrassed and stunned face as he fell to the ground, and smiled.
Cool!
