Chapter 162 What bad things is this guy holding back?

Ruan Xiaoyue stretched out her hand with satisfaction. Although Pei Chong felt disgusted, he still reached out to pull her.

Perhaps he was thinking only of money at the moment, so he did not notice that although she was smiling, there was a look of despair in her eyes.

The initial fear has disappeared. Since he cannot be captured and brought back to the capital, let's die together under this cliff. It is the end that an evil person deserves for his life to end here.

Just when Ruan Xiaoyue was about to grab him, suddenly a cold light rushed towards him and knocked Pei Chong several meters away and stopped.

"Young lady, if you really have 10 million taels, why don't we make a deal?" The owner of the evil voice turned around and looked at her with a frivolous and ambiguous look: "I kill him, and you give me the silver, how about that?"

"This has nothing to do with you, just leave." Ruan Xiaoyue didn't want anyone else to get hurt for her: "He is my husband, and my money is only for him. When the time comes, we will leave and never return to the capital, and live a carefree life."

Ruan Xiaoyue tried her best to comfort Pei Chong: "Husband, what do you think?"

Pei Chong brought nearly a thousand people this time, and he had already found out that the number of people escorted this time was no more than 500, so he was confident of victory.

Pei Chong glanced at Ruan Xiaoyue coldly: "Could this be the man you spent the night with in the government office?"

Ruan Xiaoyue: “…”

How did he know this?

It is not difficult to guess if you think about it carefully. If He Hongzhi is also King Chen's man, then Pei Chong must have known the news that she fell into his hands a long time ago.

There are only two reasons why he knows this.

One is that He Hongzhi did evil things without hiding it, because he knew that Pei Chong had no feelings for her.

Second, all of this might have been planned by Pei Chong just to destroy her.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Pei Chong sneered, and without further ado, he started fighting with the man.

Both of them were skilled in martial arts. After all, Pei Chong had been a commander of the city defense army, so his martial arts were not just for show. Ruan Xiaoyue couldn't help but worry about Jiang Er.

Seeing that the fight between the two men was getting more and more intense, Pei Chong used more ruthless moves and forced the man to the edge of the cliff.

At this moment, the moonlight broke through the clouds. With the help of the moonlight, Ruan Xiaoyue watched the long sword in Pei Chong's hand falling down. The strength of a thousand pounds was condensed, which made people tremble with fear.

Jiang Er was on the edge of a cliff. If he lost his balance, he would fall into the abyss.

Without time to think, Ruan Xiaoyue rushed forward and grabbed Pei Chong's belt from the side, but Pei Chong was determined to kill him, so he subconsciously waved his hand to block Ruan Xiaoyue.

Ruan Xiaoyue flew up and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the attack just now bought the man some time, and he turned around and kicked Pei Chong in the stomach, dodging the sword.

Although the situation was extremely dangerous, he uttered indecent words. He quickly pulled Ruan Xiao up and said, "See, one night of love is worth a hundred days of love. I know you can't bear to see me die."

Ruan Xiaoyue was furious: "You can't beat him, leave now."

"How do you know I can't beat you?"

Just as Ruan Xiaoyue was about to persuade him, the man suddenly stepped forward and pecked her on the lips: "If I win, you must thank me well, and...promise yourself to me."

Ruan Xiaoyue was stunned, and so were the people around her.

At this critical moment of life and death, this person... still has the mind to flirt?

They were fighting again, and Ruan Xiaoyue was nervous. It was obvious that Pei Chong's moves were even more ruthless than before. While maneuvering, he did not forget to scold her: "How dare you, a woman of such a frivolous nature, flirt with me in front of me? Ruan Xiaoyue, which of your words just now were true and which were false?"

Ruan Xiaoyue: “…”

Things have come to this point, and everyone knows that the other party is acting, so there is no point in saying more.

But she knew that Pei Chong must care about money. When Prince Chen was rising, he needed money the most: "Pei Chong, I'm only trying to protect myself. This money is for the two of us to leave safely."

"You can live, but he can't." As the two men confronted each other, Pei Chong sized up his opponent. This man was evil and fighting him was like a madman.

At first Pei Chong did not take him seriously, but after fighting for a while, he found that not only did he not show any signs of fatigue, but he became more and more energetic.

Looking behind him, he saw that his soldiers were not following him, and he had a bad feeling.

"He Hongzhi is also useless. He let you lurk around him for many years without realizing it."

"You're not much better. In my eyes, killing you is easy."

Ruan Xiaoyue sighed.

Everyone is good at bragging, but Pei Chong brought a large number of troops with him on this trip. If the fighting continues, I'm afraid he won't have any chance to escape.

Pei Chong didn't dare to waste any more time and fought with all his strength, but when the fight was fierce, he suddenly turned to Ruan Xiaoyue.

As soon as this happened, the man's eyes narrowed and he quickly blocked it.

But after all, I was half a second too slow, so I had to block it with my body...

Before Ruan Xiaoyue could react, she saw him rushing in front of her, then she turned around and slapped Pei Chong away with her palm.

It was at this side that Ruan Xiaoyue saw the long sword inserted into his shoulder blade: "Jiang Jiang... Jiang Er, you..."

After a while, there was a noise behind him, and Ruan Xiaoyue asked anxiously, "What should I do? What should I do?"

"We are one family, don't be afraid."

Ruan Xiaoyue: “…”

She was so panicked that she turned around and saw that they were indeed guards in armor. The one leading them was Jiang Qi, a close confidant of the Prime Minister.

Ruan Xiaoyue didn't care about anything else and shouted, "Master Jiang..."

Jiang Qi's eyes fell on the sword. Fortunately, it didn't penetrate deep. "Miss Ruan, don't worry. He..."

"Cough, cough, cough..." A series of coughs interrupted his words: "Brother Jiang, I'm afraid this time, I'm more likely to be in danger than safe."

Jiang Qi was silent

Ruan Xiaoyue was anxious: "It's okay, you can ride in the carriage with me, and when we get to the next town, we can find a doctor to see him."

Jiang Qi swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and looked at Jiang Chen with frowned eyebrows. What bad things was this guy planning again?

After Jiang Qi and Ruan Xiaoyue helped him onto the carriage, they asked about the situation in the forest: "Master Jiang, are the casualties serious this time?"

"It was okay this time. Fortunately, the adults made a backup plan, so we didn't suffer many casualties."

He glanced into the car and asked, "The adults' backup plan, are you talking about him?"

Jiang Qi nodded.

No wonder, no wonder he helped me when I was in the prefectural yamen.

Pei Chong was taken into a prison van. He struggled hard to break free, his eyes full of dissatisfaction. He had clearly made sufficient preparations and brought a thousand people with him, but he still lost.

Seeing Ruan Xiaoyue, he sneered: "Don't be too proud, your lover will soon be buried with me."

Seeing each other again at this time, Ruan Xiaoyue's heart was no longer disturbed, and she said calmly, "Pei Chong, I don't have that one thousand taels of silver at all."

Pei Chong bit her: "You lied to me again?"

Seeing him being pushed into the prison van by the guards, she felt extremely relieved: "Yes, I also want you to have a taste of being deceived. Besides, there is one more thing I haven't told you. There is a big surprise waiting for you when you return to Beijing this time."

Ruan Xiaoyue came closer and said, "Did you know that my eldest uncle is still alive? I heard that he has already met the emperor."

Pei Chong's ferocious expression like a trapped beast finally changed after hearing Ruan Xiaoyue's words. He kept shaking his head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
