Chapter 96 I Can't Let You Die Too Easily

On the way back home, Xie Zhuoning felt a little uneasy.

It was definitely not her intention to have a quarrel with Xiao Jinxuan and Ye Wuque.

These two were extremely smart, almost like demons. If she became an enemy of any one of them, she would suffer no good.

What's more, this time, she seemed to have offended both of them.

Frowning, she sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Xie Zhuoning was wondering, it shouldn't be that fast to get from the restaurant to the Zhenyang Marquis Mansion?

What's more, it's raining heavily, and the speed will only be slower.

Before she could even open her mouth to ask, Xia Ju opened the curtain and pulled her out of the carriage, "Let's go!"

Xie Zhuoning looked back, not knowing what was going on, and immediately took a breath of cold air.

Dozens of dark shadows were leaping on the rooftops and streets like ghosts, chasing after them.

Her heart instantly rose to her throat.

Someone wants to kill her!

Could it be that Xiao Jinxuan and Ye Wuque were so angry and humiliated that they wanted to kill her?

Xia Ju was very good at Qinggong, and even when he was carrying her, he did not slow down. He turned and moved around all the way, and finally got rid of those killers.

The two of them landed in a hidden alley. Just as Xie Zhuoning breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Xia Ju spit out a mouthful of black blood.

She had been hit by several hidden weapons without knowing when. The hidden weapons were glowing blue and were all poisoned!

Xie Zhuoning's voice was trembling, "Xia Ju...Xia Ju, are you okay?"

Did she actually force herself to escape?

"I'm fine."

Xia Ju rolled up her sleeves, wiped the rain and blood off her face, then pulled Xie Zhuoning and let her hide in the corner of an alley filled with junk.

"Miss, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

She always had a cold face, but when she said this, her tone was exceptionally gentle.

It was like saying final farewell to Xie Zhuoning.

Xie Zhuoning grabbed her hand and shook his head desperately, "No, no..."

She knew what Xia Ju was going to do. This girl wanted to use herself as bait to lure away those killers!

"Miss, you must live." Xia Ju raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at her.

The poison in her body spread, and she was obviously running out of strength. She could no longer run away with her young lady.

People who can be killers are very good at tracking. Even on a rainy night, those people will catch up quickly.

So she had to act decisively.

Xie Zhuoning's face was wet, and she didn't know whether it was rain or tears. She grabbed Xia Ju's hand tightly, "You are not allowed to go. I order you not to go. Do you hear me?"

She would never let Xia Ju die in front of her again, she would never allow it!

But Xia Ju didn't listen to her this time, "I'm sorry."

Xia Ju pulled his hand away ruthlessly and directly covered his young lady with the bamboo cage next to him, and then moved a few pillars to press down on the cage.

"Xia Ju, stop! You are not allowed to go!" Xie Zhuoning wanted to get out, but he couldn't push the door at all. He could only watch Xia Ju's figure disappear at the end of the alley.

I don't know how long it took, but a dark shadow dragged a bloody corpse into the alley.

The rain washed over, and the ground was almost covered with blood.

Xie Zhuoning covered his mouth, trying hard to suppress his voice, but his eyes were full of tears.

She saw a yellow corner protruding from the chest of the corpse. That was the amulet she gave to Xia Ju!

The man in black's voice was hoarse, like a demon echoing in the alley, "Miss Xie, don't hide, I can see you. If you don't come out, I will cut off your flesh piece by piece and feed it to the dogs. I forgot to mention that she is still alive."

Xie Zhuoning felt a little better when he heard that Xia Ju was still alive.

But when she heard the man's next words, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

That guy was planning to kill Xia Ju alive!

She didn't care about anything else and slapped the bamboo cage "bang bang bang", "let me out!"

The man in black heard the noise and kicked away the pillar that was pressing down on him.

Xie Zhuoning opened the bamboo cage and stood up, and a long knife was placed on her neck.

The other party smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to care about this girl."

At this moment, Xie Zhuoning clenched his five fingers into a fist, and was unexpectedly calm, "Let her go, I'll go with you."

The man in black laughed and said, "Miss Xie, are you mistaken? I am here to kill you, not to arrest you."

Glancing at him, Xie Zhuoning said calmly, "You are the Prince of Yong's man, right?"

She was in such a panic when escaping that she was trapped in the bamboo cage. This gave her a chance to sort out the whole thing.

Although Ye Wuque was moody, he was counting on his father's help when he was fighting against Northern Qi, and he would never joke about such a big thing.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, it was even more impossible. She almost stripped him naked but he didn't do anything to her. Could it be that he wanted to kill her today just because of a few words from her?

Apart from these two people, who else has a grudge against her?

Xiao Bicheng hated her and annoyed her, but he still relied on her and there was no way he could touch her.

Xie Wanyin and the others are currently busy trying to coax Xie Minglang to hand over his property, so they probably don't have time to target her.

Bai Yingxue? Song Yuyao? Or the Liang family that had already been driven away?

No, no, no, they don't have that ability.

The killers chasing her are all well-trained, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.

Then only Prince Yong is left.

Killing her would destroy the marriage between Xiao Bicheng and Zhenyang Marquis's Mansion.

Xiao Bicheng had already been stripped of his title of crown prince because of a serious mistake he made. If he now loses the military power of the Zhenyang Marquis' Mansion, he would be like a grasshopper in autumn, unable to jump for many days.

The man in black sneered, "Since you already know everything, I can't let you stay here."

"I can get my father to support Prince Yong!" Xie Zhuoning shouted hurriedly, fearing that if he spoke too slowly, his head would move.

Even so, a bloody cut was left on her fair neck.

She swallowed and continued, "Xiao Bicheng likes Bai Yingxue, and he lost his position as crown prince because of that woman. I don't want to be with him anymore. If His Royal Highness Prince Yong is willing, I am willing to persuade my father to help Prince Yong ascend the throne!"

This is a great thing for King Yong.

Not only did he easily destroy a major helper of Xiao Bicheng, but he also made himself even more powerful.

She didn't believe that the other party wasn't moved.

Unexpectedly, the man in black suddenly became angry and said, "A woman as frivolous as you are, are you worthy of marrying Prince Yong?"

Xie Zhuoning: “???”

No, she only said that she was unwilling to support the prince anymore, and she didn't say that she was willing to marry Prince Yong!

Prince Yong is already so old. Is she crazy to marry him?

"Listen to me..."

“Puff——”

The blade sank into the flesh, instantly leaving a bloody hole on the shoulder.

Xie Zhuoning had never expected that he would be so unethical and suddenly attack her, causing her to almost pass out from the pain.

The man in black pulled out his knife and looked at the blood on the blade, his eyes flashing with excitement. "A woman like you can't be allowed to die so easily."

You have to slowly cut the tendons in your hands and feet, cut off your tongue, dig out your eyes, pierce your eardrums, penetrate your scapula, and cut into a human pig...

It made her suffer so much that she couldn't even die!
