Chapter 935: Fraud
In a flash, Yu Jiu suddenly understood!
The "Luo Qinghan" he was holding in his hand was a fake, and the real Luo Qinghan had been hiding in the dark.
They were fooled!
Yu Jiu threw the counterfeit in his hand to the ground.
He raised his head and looked at the young emperor riding on horseback, and asked in a malicious tone.
"I thought Your Majesty was willing to risk his life for the concubine, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so afraid of death that he created a fake to fool us. Aren't you afraid that we will kill your favorite concubine?!"
Luo Qinghan looked down at him, his eyes cold as ice.
"The Concubine is not in your hands at all."
Yu Jiu sneered: "How can you be sure that the imperial concubine is not in our hands? What if she is there? Can you afford the bet?"
Luo Qinghan: "You said just now that the imperial concubine had made you unconscious for a while. I guess she must have scratched you with her nails, and then escaped when you were unable to move."
The smile on Yu Jiu's face faded: "How do you know so clearly?"
Luo Qinghan: "Because the drug on her nails was applied by me personally."
Yu Jiu: “…”
I was shown off for no reason.
His face gradually became gloomy.
"Even if I said that, it was only after I took action. Before that, I had been disguising myself very well. How did you find out about me?"
He was very confident in his disguise skills, and he had even learned how to change his voice. Apart from the fact that the body shape was too different to be changed, it was impossible to tell the real thing from the fake just by looking at the face.
Luo Qinghan said coldly: "There is no need to tell you this."
When he and Xixi were alone together, Xixi never called herself a concubine and always referred to him as "you".
He did the same to her.
Because they believe that they are equal to each other and there is no need to distinguish between high and low status in any way.
As soon as the fake Xixi opened his mouth, Luo Qinghan, who was hiding in the dark, knew that this person was not Xixi.
As for the substitute he pushed out, he had prepared it long ago.
As an emperor, he would secretly prepare three or five substitutes just in case.
Luo Qinghan is no exception.
These stand-ins are all death warriors who have been trained for a long time. Not only do they look and move like the real person, but they have also received professional training. Unless they are people who know him very well and are with him day and night, it is difficult for ordinary people to tell who is the real person and who is the stand-in.
When he received the threatening letter from the traitor, he knew it must be a trap.
Since he knew it was a trap, how could he jump into it without any preparation?
He had been careless once and would not allow himself to make the same mistake again.
The substitute was a pathfinder he threw out in order to test the kidnappers' bottom line and find out Xixi's current situation.
As a result, the rebel also used the same trick, trying to fool people by using a fake Xixi.
The stand-in versus the imposter.
In the end, Luo Qinghan's side was the better one.
Luo Qinghan: "You only have two choices now, either surrender or die."
Yu Jiu stared at him for a moment and suddenly sneered.
"Okay, we surrender!"
After saying that, he threw the dagger in his hand to the ground and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
Seeing this, his accomplices had no choice but to throw away their weapons and raise their hands in surrender.
Luo Qinghan glanced at Zhao Xian who was following beside him, and whispered a reminder.
"Be careful, there may be fraud."
Zhao Xian said he understood.
He dismounted, drew the sword from his waist, and walked forward with thirty guards, surrounding Yu Jiu and his gang.
Yu Jiu spread his hands and said with a smile: "Why are you standing so far away? We have already thrown away our weapons, come and tie us up."
The more frank he was, the more cautious Zhao Xian became.
At this time, the guards not far away had also raised their bows and arrows, aiming the arrows at Yu Jiu and others.
As soon as they showed any unusual movement, the guards would immediately shoot arrows.
Zhao Xian shouted, "Everyone kneel down and raise your hands above your head!"
Yu Jiu seemed to have no resistance to kneeling. When the other party asked him to kneel, he knelt down without hesitation and obediently raised his hands above his head.
His accomplice did so.
Yu Jiu showed a provocative smile on his face: "General Zhao, what are you waiting for? Why do you act like a young lady getting into a bridal sedan chair, and you have to urge her so many times!"
His companions laughed out loud.
The guards were very angry and shouted that no one was allowed to insult General Zhao!
Zhao Xian himself didn't react much.
He had suffered a lot when he was a child, so this little ridicule was nothing to him.
He winked at his men.
Two of them stepped forward, bent down and picked up all the weapons on the ground.
Then Zhao Xian called out the names of five more people and asked them to take ropes and tie up all the rebels.
Just as the guards put the rope around Yu Jiu, Yu Jiu suddenly raised his hand and threw out two silver needles!
One of the needles pierced into the body of the nearest guard, and the other silver needle flew straight towards Zhao Xian!
Zhao Xian was prepared and swung his sword to block the needle.
The guard who was hit paused and froze in place, unable to move.
Yu Jiu took the opportunity to draw the sword from the imperial guard's waist!
His accomplices also took action and attacked the guards closest to them.
Seeing this, the guards not far away immediately shot arrows!
There was a whooshing sound.
Arrows flew towards Yu Jiu and others like rain.
Yu Jiu grabbed the stiff and motionless guard in front of him and used him as a human shield to block himself.
All the arrows hit the guard, and the arrows pierced into his flesh, making popping sounds.
Yu Jiu, who was hiding behind, was safe and sound.
As for his accomplices, the lucky ones avoided the arrows, while the unlucky ones were shot and turned into hedgehogs.
Seeing this, Zhao Xian raised his hand.
The guards not far away stopped shooting arrows.
Yu Jiu didn't even look at his accomplices.
When he saw Zhao Xian coming towards him with a knife, he immediately pushed the human shield in front of him towards Zhao Xian.
After all, they were his subordinates, so even if they died, Zhao Xian couldn't bear to do anything cruel to them.
He hastily retracted his knife to prevent the blade from hiding in the bodies of his men, who were already riddled with arrows.
Yu Jiu seized the opportunity at this moment and used his lightness skills to retreat quickly.
The other guards immediately chased after him.
Yu Jiu threw out a dozen silver needles in succession.
The guards who were hit were fixed in place, unable to move.
Seeing that Yu Jiu was quickly going away and was about to escape, Luo Qinghan had already pulled the bowstring and aimed the arrow at Yu Jiu who was going away at a very fast speed.
Luo Qinghan loosened his fingertips, the bowstring trembled violently, and the arrow flew out!
Yu Jiu keenly heard the sound of breaking air from behind.
He swung his knife back and cut off the flying arrow with one blow!
But what he didn't expect was.
There was actually another arrow following this arrow!
Yu Jiu was shot in the chest.
He staggered back two steps due to the force of the arrow, and finally rolled down the hillside.
