Lu Yanzhao slowly opened his eyes, his usually cold gaze now burning crimson.
Gu Nanjiao was startled. Lu Yanzhao was acting strangely; his expression clearly indicated that he had been drugged.
That bald guy was truly despicable and disgusting; he actually gave her a potent drug. And his lewd gaze made Gu Nanjiao want to strangle him.
But what can she do now? She can't just stay here...
The door creaked open. An oil lamp was lit inside, instantly illuminating the room. The bald man, stroking his shiny bald head, leered and walked in, his gaze towards Lu Yanzhao utterly repulsive.
Gu Nanjiao stepped in front of Lu Yanzhao, her face grim as she looked at the bald man: "Don't do anything reckless, or I'll drag you to hell."
His intuition told him that the bald man wouldn't kill them for the time being; he just wanted to humiliate or, more accurately, obtain Lu Yanzhao. While it's said that a wretched life is worse than death, if Lu Yanzhao were to be… he probably wouldn't even have the will to live.
Although her motto is "better to live a miserable life than to die a good death," even she herself couldn't endure such a miserable way of living.
Gu Nanjiao's mind raced, trying to think of a chance to take this bald man down with her.
The bald man glanced at Gu Nanjiao with disdain and shouted to the doorman, "Two men, tie this woman up and let her see how I sleep with her young man."
Gu Nanjiao was gagged and tied up. Lu Yanzhao's eyes were bloodshot. He bit his tongue hard, the pain temporarily bringing him back to his senses: "Let...her...go..."
Beside him, the bald man closed the door and approached Lu Yanzhao with a lewd look on his face, his hands constantly unbuckling his belt.
"Hehe, I'm here to pamper you."
The bald man specially sought out the most potent and potent drug, which he used to deal with any handsome men who refused to obey him. No one could withstand its strong effects, and in the end, they all obediently submitted to him.
Unexpectedly, this pretty boy was quite patient. He didn't make a move on the delicate wife. The bald man, who was waiting outside, got impatient and decided to come in and deal with Lu Yanzhao himself. He wanted to see how long Lu Yanzhao could endure it.
Seeing the bald man closing in on her, Gu Nanjiao's eyes widened in fury. Without thinking, she rolled on the ground behind the bald man, got up, and smashed her head hard against his head.
Blood gushed from his nose instantly, and tears and blood mingled together, covering his face.
This bald man's head is really hard. Gu Nanjiao collapsed to the ground, dizzy and seeing stars.
The bald man was stunned by the blow. Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Yanzhao pulled out the old bamboo hairpin from his head and stabbed it hard into the man's neck. He used all his strength in the stabbing. The bald man clutched his neck and fell to the ground, convulsing a few times like a fish on the verge of death. He stopped breathing shortly afterward.
Looking at the hairpin in his hand, Lu Yanzhao sneered, stood up and kicked the body on the ground: "You really are incredibly stupid, I injured you twice with the same move."
The screams from inside didn't attract the attention of the guards outside. They exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "The bald boss is pretty tough; look how pitifully that pretty boy is screaming."
Lu Yanzhao quickly helped Gu Nanjiao up from the ground. Gu Nanjiao was dizzy and saw double images of the person in front of her.
"Are you alright?" Lu Yanzhao asked with concern, quickly untying the ropes binding Gu Nanjiao.
I shook my head and felt a bit clearer.
Gu Nanjiao said, "We have to find a way to escape!"
Lu Yanzhao nodded, and he and Gu Nanjiao hid on either side of the door. Lu Yanzhao knocked on the door and opened it.
"Baldy, are you done already?" A doorman carrying a knife poked his head in, making a teasing remark.
Lu Yanzhao grabbed his neck and snatched the knife from his hand, saying in a trembling voice, "Gu Nanjiao, close your eyes."
Gu Nanjiao wisely closed her eyes immediately. The next second, she heard the sound of bones cracking, followed by a heavy object falling to the ground and another gatekeeper's scream. Finally, she felt a round, spherical object roll past her feet.
She had a suspicion: Could it be that Lu Yanzhao had cut off someone's head?
As modern people living in a peaceful era, we've only ever seen murder in movies, so it's hard not to feel a little terrified.
However, she quickly calmed down and slowly opened her eyes. Sure enough, there were two bloody human heads at her feet, their eyes wide open like copper bells, staring in death without closing.
Gu Nanjiao was so frightened that her teeth chattered. She tried her best to calm herself down and held onto the door frame with both hands to prevent her legs from giving way.
Murder? This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it. And it was Lu Yanzhao who did it.
Gu Nanjiao knew that now was not the time to be afraid. She took a few deep breaths and felt much calmer.
She kicked the head away from her feet, went to the table, knocked over the oil lamp, and the fire quickly ignited.
"The wind is from the southwest today. Once it starts to burn, the fire will be fierce and difficult to extinguish. Let's take advantage of the chaos and escape!" Gu Nanjiao took Lu Yanzhao's arm and put it on her shoulder, helping him walk outside.
The effects of the drug in Lu Yanzhao's body grew stronger, and Gu Nanjiao's tight embrace pushed his willpower to the limit. The sight of blood before him further fueled his excitement; he longed to take Gu Nanjiao right there and then.
However, he absolutely cannot act impulsively right now.
The raging fire quickly attracted the attention of the bandits, and Gu Nanjiao led Lu Yanzhao to escape via a side path.
To avoid attracting attention, we had no choice but to walk along the mountain path full of thorns.
Lu Yanzhao felt his blood boiling, as if it were about to explode, and he could hardly bear it.
...
When Lu Xiaomei rode her horse to Nanshan Temple to fetch reinforcements, she happened to meet Chu Luoxun, Zheng Shiyi and others on the way.
Lu Xiaomei tumbled off her horse as if grasping at a straw, but Chu Luoxun reacted quickly and caught her.
"Master Chu, there are bandits ahead! Quick... quick, save my brother and sister-in-law!" Lu Xiaomei grabbed Chu Luoxun's arm, her expression agitated.
"Alright!" Chu Luoxun immediately arranged for someone to send Lu Xiaomei to Nanshan Temple and directed Zheng Shiyi to mobilize troops for rescue.
When Zheng Shiyi arrived with his men, the fire had already spread to half of the bandit's den. Scarface was captured by Chu Luoxun, who was blocking the road, as he escaped.
Chu Luoxun seized the opportunity to wipe out the bandit den that was committing crimes, leaving Zheng Shiyi to lead the search for Gu Nanjiao and Lu Yanzhao.
...
Inside the dilapidated temple, Gu Nanjiao wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. Looking at Lu Yanzhao, who was keeping his eyes closed and not saying a word, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling very unwell?"
"You should leave!" Lu Yanzhao's voice trembled with suppressed emotion. He really wanted to vent, but he could only forcefully suppress the urge to pin Gu Nanjiao down.
Gu Nanjiao "..."
How could she leave like this, abandoning Lu Yanzhao and running away?
Gu Nanjiao had seen a description of this medicine in a sketchbook. She didn't know what it tasted like, but judging from Lu Yanzhao's appearance, it must have been extremely uncomfortable.
Lu Yanzhao's patience was truly admirable. Even after all that, he still couldn't bear to touch her and wanted her to leave. Gu Nanjiao couldn't do that.
Lu Yanzhao could hardly contain himself any longer and roared at the dawdling Gu Nanjiao, "Hurry up and leave, or you'll regret it!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yanzhao felt a chill beneath him as his clothes were lifted up and his pants were pulled down by Gu Nanjiao.
Ignoring Lu Yanzhao's shocked gaze, Gu Nanjiao calmly reached inside and said, "Let me help you!"
