Chapter 73: A life-or-death struggle
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder, and a spring rain came suddenly.
The cold raindrops fell on the gentle eyelashes and slid down the cheeks along the curled eyelashes.
Although she is a blind girl, she is like a sighted person, with fearlessness in her eyes.
It's not that Wei Changjia hasn't seen beauties before. With his status, he has played with many of the stunningly beautiful women in the capital.
But for no reason, he suddenly felt itchy in his heart.
"groove!"
He licked the tip of his tongue, suppressed the urge to finish the man right then and there, and said patiently:
"Just tell me the truth about Envoy Chen. I'm here to keep you out of this. And your little brother seems quite clever. I can even help him find a future."
Wen Wan was so smart that she frowned immediately.
Does this mean that he already considers her as his possession?
Wen Wan stepped back and said, "I think even if I tell you the truth, you are not going to let me go."
Wei Changjia's eyes lit up, "Oh, not only is her personality to my liking, but she's also very good at reading people's expressions."
He placed the knife on the stone table and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm attracted to you. Now there are only two options. One, betray Chen Yuanshi and I'll take the people to the rescue. Then you can follow me and be my woman."
"Second, I regard you as Chen Yuanshi's accomplices and will kill you all together. Your heads and bodies will be separated and your corpses will be mutilated."
These people are so arrogant in broad daylight.
Officials have two mouths above their heads, and they seem to be used to doing such dirty things. Ordinary people have no room to resist them.
Wenwan is silent.
Chen Zhou was the first to get anxious. "You, you are not soldiers, you are bandits! This is a border town, the border town garrison will protect us, I, Ah Chai..."
"Sunk ship!"
Wen Wan interrupted Chen Zhou's words with a sharp shout.
How can we bring Achai in at this time?
They dare to act like this, they must be from a powerful background. How can Achai, a mere captain, compete with them?
Wen Wan's pupils narrowed, and when she looked up again, there was a hint of a smile on her face.
"I have nothing to hide. The Chen Yuanshi you mentioned, I think, must be the doctor who treated me, right?"
Wen Wan's tone was very calm. "Doctor Chen did say he was from the Imperial Capital. He said he was looking for his fellow disciples. He passed by here and felt sorry for me, so he prescribed a prescription for me. I am grateful to Doctor Chen. Seeing that he had no place to stay in the border town, I invited him to stay with me."
"As for asking me to hand him over now, I'm afraid I can't do it."
Without waiting for Wei Changjia to ask, Wen Wan sighed and said:
"Doctor Chen is dead. He fell into the water and drowned. This is no secret in the border town. Many people saw it by the moat a few days ago. If you don't believe me, just send someone to inquire and you'll find out."
Lies must be a mixture of truth and falsehood to be convincing.
She spoke with conviction, and anyone who asked anyone else could prove what she said.
Wei Changjia pondered for a moment and was already half-believing it.
He winked at his men, and some of them turned and walked out.
"Okay, I'll look into Envoy Chen's matter. Now that the business is done, I can also deal with your business right now."
As he spoke, he carried Wen Wan on his shoulders, kicked open the bedroom door and walked in.
"The commander is mighty!"
A group of scoundrels were making a fuss in the yard.
Chen Zhou tried to rush into the room several times, but was held down each time.
"How can you be so ignorant, your sister is enjoying herself!"
Chen Zhou spat, "Thanks to your mother, my sister has a lover!"
"It doesn't matter if you have a lover. Our commander wants your sister's body. When your sister is pregnant with our child, we will kill her lover. Then your sister will have to follow him wholeheartedly."
"You, you...you beasts!"
Chen Zhou struggled with red eyes, yelling and crying.
In the house.
Wen Wan was thrown on the bed. She didn't know where her elbow hit, and she gasped in pain.
Wei Changjia began to unbuckle his belt, his beard trembling, and he looked impatient.
Wen Wan was panicked, but very calm.
She pretended to be afraid and moved back little by little.
Wei Changjia pounced on the bed, grabbed Wen Wan's ankle with one hand and dragged her over, and pulled her collar down with the other hand.
Wen Wan only felt a chill on her shoulder, and then something sticky and wet, which should be his tongue, licked it.
Her whole body stiffened, and a chill made her almost nauseous.
"Don't worry, little girl. I'm a well-known person and I won't treat you unfairly..."
Before he could finish his words, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and the next moment, a dagger pierced his throat.
Wei Changjia moved very quickly and barely avoided it.
He raised his hand and touched his neck. There was a spot of bright red blood on his fingertips, probably because his skin was broken.
Wen Wan's voice was trembling. "It's a matter of life and death. Even if I die, I won't let someone like you touch me!"
"Just you? You want to fight to the death with me? Are you worthy?"
"If you want to kill me, I'll let you go out lying down today..."
Wei Changjia picked up the belt on the ground and prepared to tie Wen Wan's hands and feet first, but his eyes fell on the dagger in her hand.
A terrified woman huddled at the foot of the bed, clutching a jewel-encrusted dagger in both hands.
"groove!"
Wei Changjia narrowed his eyes. This dagger...
He hesitated for a moment, then with a cold face, he tied the belt around his waist, put on his robe without saying a word, turned around and left.

The rain is getting heavier.
The yard was full of footprints left by that group of people.
When Shen Yu arrived on horseback, the door of the courtyard was open.
He dismounted and rushed into the yard. When he saw the scene in the yard, his face sank to the bottom.
Agui followed him and saw a familiar piece of clothing behind the stone table. He walked over quickly and found Chen Zhou who was knocked unconscious.
Shen Yu glanced at him and said, "Take good care of him."
Agui agreed.
Shen Yu strode towards the bedroom, each step was extremely heavy.
The rain was pouring down on his head, already soaking his clothes. He didn't care at all, and his mind was filled with guesses about all the possibilities that might have happened.
No matter which possibility it was, it seemed that he could not accept it.
Just a few steps exhausted his strength.
When he stood at the door and finally saw the woman huddled in the corner of the bed, her face pale and a dagger in her hand, his throat rolled and his fists clenched unconsciously.
Wen Wan heard the footsteps and raised her dagger vigilantly, waving it, "Get out of here!"
Shen Yu's eyes fell on her exposed shoulders, and his voice was very hoarse, "It's me."
Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Wan's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed.
She trembled and couldn't hold the dagger, so she let it fall on the bed, then opened her arms in his direction.
"Achai..."
She cried with a choked voice, tears falling one by one.
"A Chai, you are finally here..."
