Chapter 207 We must make it in time!
At the Spring Banquet, he deliberately walked past Liang.
But she didn't turn to look at him at that time.
Is he pretending?
You recognized him at that time, so you sold him to Su Rui?
No!
impossible!
Miaomiao would never treat him like this!
Even though he denied it over and over again in his heart, Lin Chuan's eyes still revealed panic.
Imagination is sometimes more convincing than facts.
Su Rui waited for him to think for a while before slowly asking, "What did you do twenty years ago? Tell me, and I can let you go."
Twenty years ago.
The past is still vivid in my mind.
Lin Chuan actually regretted that he shouldn't have helped Liang do that thing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have married into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and the two of them wouldn't have to be separated for so long.
But the past cannot be reversed, and Lin Chuan will not tell Su Rui.
"Kill me if you want!"
With his neck stiff, Lin Chuan looked completely fearless.
Yes, how could someone who has been on the edge of a knife for many years be afraid of death?
"Killing you won't work, but not everyone is as tough as you. Liang is the Marquis' wife, so I can't touch her, but Zhou Yao..."
"Don't touch her!" Before Su Rui could finish her words, Lin Chuan was about to pounce on her excitedly.
However, as soon as he moved, Zhuiyue stepped on him and he fell to the ground. He could only stare at Su Rui with a ferocious face, his eyes warning her fiercely.
"Whether you touch her or not, your decision doesn't count." Su Rui looked down at the immobilized Lin Chuan. "You don't know what happened after the Spring Banquet, do you? Zhou Yao brought it upon herself, committing adultery in front of the guests. What do you think will happen to her when she returns to Prince Long's mansion?"
Naturally, the torture is doubled!
Lin Chuan gasped and roared, but Su Rui remained indifferent and continued, "If I want to touch her, no one will protect her, including Liang. She can't take care of herself. If you want to save her life, you have to give her something in exchange."
"Bitch, you are so vicious!" Lin Chuan gritted his teeth, but he couldn't even bite Su Rui.
"Vicious?" Su Rui laughed. "You guys can't say that to me. I'm far worse than you. Of course, if you don't cooperate, I can learn some of your moves and use them on your daughter."
Their moves.
Lin Chuan couldn't accept those being used on Zhou Yao just by thinking about it.
"Why should I trust you?"
"You have no choice, and I have no patience. Next sentence, if you can't give me what I want, then I will..."
She didn't finish her words, but Su Rui's eyes said it all.
Lin Chuan really had no choice, unless he ignored Zhou Yao.
But he couldn't do it.
"I can tell you what the Second Prince did to the girl from the Tang family. Don't even think about the rest!"
Su Rui never thought that she could pry open Lin Chuan's mouth with just that half of the jade pendant. Compared with Zhou Yao and Liang Shi, Lin Chuan was still more infatuated, and he also understood better that Zhou Yao would not be better off without Liang Shi.
Besides, Su Rui didn't have time to pry his mouth.
Therefore, Su Rui was not asking about what happened twenty years ago, but about Tang Yuli.
After all, this is the only way Lin Chuan can negotiate with her now.
Since she was planning to find General Tang, she naturally had to find out how the Second Prince had driven Tang Yuli crazy. This might help her persuade General Tang to help.
"Okay, but only if your words are true and useful."
"I saw it with my own eyes!" Recalling what he saw and heard that day, Lin Chuan smiled maliciously and obscenely. "You nobles, who are disguised as nobles and talk about morality, spend more money than bandits like me when it comes to playing. Tsk tsk."
Su Rui felt uncomfortable and kicked him, saying coldly, "I don't have time to listen to your fantasies. Tell the truth."
Lin Chuan licked the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although he was not convinced, he told Zhou Yao everything he had seen for her sake.
After hearing everything, not to mention Su Rui, even Zhuiyue and the others couldn't help but clench their fists. They couldn't imagine how Tang Yuli had endured for so long.
Not to mention a noble lady like Tang Yuli who had been raised in seclusion since childhood, even grown men like them would have gone crazy long ago. It was simply a double humiliation both physically and mentally!
"She is just like you, really amazing. She was able to resist in that situation. Unfortunately, she was too weak and was played to pieces. If she didn't go crazy, she would not be able to survive." Lin Chuan sighed. After all, these hypocritical people knew better how to torture people.
Su Rui didn't want to listen anymore, so she waved her hand and asked Zhui Yue to knock the man unconscious.
"Concubine, where are we going now?" Zhuiyue didn't know the situation outside Changdu Pass, so she could only ask Su Rui about the next step.
Su Rui took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zhuiyue, saying, "Take Lin Chuan away and hide him under guard. There are twenty fragrant pills in here. Give Lin Chuan one pill a day. If I don't return after twenty days, throw him to the Marquis of Yong'an."
Twenty days are enough. If she cannot come back alive, she can only rely on the suspicion of Yong'an Marquis to bite Liang.
"I stay? Where is the concubine going?" Zhuiyue realized something was wrong.
"I'm going to Mobei, so this matter can only be handed over to you, Brother Zhuiyue, please." Now the only person Su Rui can entrust and who has the ability to do it is Zhuiyue.
When Zhuiyue heard that Su Rui was going to Mobei, he understood something and opened his eyes wide in surprise.
She wanted to say something, but when she saw Su Rui, who had already stood up, with a big belly, a slender figure but a determined look in her eyes, she swallowed her words and nodded heavily.
Su Rui did not stop and got back on the carriage. Led by three other secret guards, she rushed all the way to Mobei, tightly holding the blood jade bracelet given by Yun Ji on her wrist.
Definitely! We must make it in time!
…
Weicheng.
After half a month, the soldiers had to eat food mixed with wild vegetables, fruits and tree bark. Although they persevered, they had been besieged for a long time and had not had enough to eat. Even though they did not mention the fact that the food supply was cut off in order to stabilize the morale of the army, after such a long time, they had already started to guess something was wrong.
There was also a gloomy atmosphere in the general's mansion.
None of the people sent out for help came back, and the garrisons in the three rear areas seemed to be dead, and they didn't notice anything unusual here at all.
Now the food and grass are exhausted, and there are not many wild vegetables and tree barks left in the city. If things go on like this, there will be chaos.
But looking at the sand table, the Dongyue Kingdom must have a map, blocking all the roads and gradually tightening the defenses, and they are already at the gates of the city.
"Your Highness, Dongyue probably can't wait any longer." Wang Wuwei broke the silence.
Everyone knew it tacitly. Half a month had passed and Dongyue's patience should have run out. Not knowing the situation in the city, they would definitely go to the palace to find out the truth in the next few days.
"Everyone should check their preparations. Once Dongyue attacks the city, there must not be any loopholes that would let them know the situation in the city." Yun Ji gave the order. The only way to have hope was to use the empty city plan and buy time.
That night, there was a raging fire outside Weicheng City.
The Dongyue Kingdom attacked the city.
