Chapter 282: In Exchange for Life
Chu Jinyan gave Lu Xiang a reassuring look: "Don't be afraid."
Lu Xiang was stunned, and his eyes suddenly felt sore.
These people were not sent by Liu Anyao to kill her, they were coming for Chu Jinyan.
Why?
Knowing that this is a trap, why did you come here?
"What do I need to let her go?" Chu Jinyan looked at the masked man with his dark eyes, his voice extremely cold.
"Let her go, okay?" The masked man wiped the sword in his hand carelessly and said, "If you kill yourself in front of me, I will let her go."
As he said that, he threw the sword in his hand at Chu Jinyan's feet.
Chu Jinyan frowned slightly and looked at the masked man: "Are you serious?"
"really."
"Okay." Chu Jinyan said, and without hesitation, he bent down to pick up the sword on the ground, his eyes lingering on Lu Xiang's face for a moment...
Seeing this, Lu Xiang shouted anxiously: "Idiot, he lied to you, he won't let me go even if you die..."
"Shut up!" The masked man turned around angrily and slapped Lu Xiang hard.
Chu Jinyan was furious and pointed the tip of his sword at the masked man: "Stop."
"Eighth Prince, be careful of swords and knives." The man holding Lu Xiang hostage said compassionately.
Chu Jinyan gritted his teeth in hatred and retracted the sword in his hand.
The man showed no mercy when he attacked her, causing half of Lu Xiang's face to swell up.
Her black eyes were burning with anger, and her face was as bright as crystal. Although she looked disheveled, she had a kind of enchanting beauty.
The masked man's eyes darkened, and he kicked back, knocking the sword out of Chu Jinyan's hand.
The Eighth Prince is very skilled. With the sword in his hand, who knows if it will be him or this group of people who will be killed in the end.
"Heh, I suddenly found a more interesting way to play." The masked man chuckled and ordered the people behind him: "Search the Eighth Prince to see if he has any other weapons hidden on him."
The man responded and walked towards Chu Jinyan.
"Boss, there's nothing."
The masked man smiled with satisfaction, then walked to the side and took out a bow and arrow.
Nock the arrow, draw the bow...
"Eighth Prince, let's play a game. If you can survive being shot by my fifty arrows, I will let you go together. How about that?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiang looked horrified: "..."
Fifty arrows?
If you don't shoot, you will become a hedgehog.
He has the final say on life or death. If he wants Chu Jinyan to die, he can just shoot an arrow through the heart.
You can also shoot the first forty-nine arrows elsewhere and the last arrow hits the heart.
This person clearly wanted to torture him.
call out--
As the sound of breaking through the air was heard, a sharp arrow shot towards Chu Jinyan.
Puff!!!
The arrow hit his leg. Chu Jinyan groaned, steadied himself and did not move.
The masked man looked at Chu Jinyan who was trying hard to endure the pain, with a strange excitement in his eyes.
It turned out to be boring to end his life with a single blow. Look how exciting it is now.
"Chu Jinyan..." Lu Xiang looked at Chu Jinyan who did not dodge and yelled anxiously.
Chu Jinyan looked at her, with a hint of soft light in his cold eyes: "Be good, close your eyes."
There were few places to hide outside the City God Temple, so the people brought by Chu Jinyan could only hide far away. Without receiving the signal from their master, they dared not act rashly.
Ah Man simply treated his wound and then reunited with Sheng Xian and Yuan Feng.
Yuanfeng looked tense and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know what was going on inside.
Ah Man couldn't wait any longer, so he found a tree closest to the City God Temple and climbed up.
Sitting at the top of the tree, you can have almost the entire view of the temple.
"I'll go take a look, you wait here." Sheng Xian said hurriedly to Yuan Feng, then chased after A Man.
Yuanfeng cannot leave, otherwise the group here will be leaderless and unable to provide timely response.
Sheng Xian had just taken two steps when he saw Ah Man running back in a hurry. Without saying a word, he snatched the bow and arrow from one of the men and turned back.
…
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two more arrows were fired in quick succession, hitting both sides of his shoulders.
Lu Xiang stared wide-eyed, the blood drained from her face, her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, and her chest felt as if someone had smashed it hard, and a silent pain flowed through her blood.
"Chu Jinyan..."
She roared in grief and anger, tears rolling down her cheeks and she fell heavily to the ground.
This idiot, this fool!
What was so special about her that was worth his life?
In her previous life, she gave her all, but what she got was betrayal and torture from Xiao Muheng, so after her rebirth, she controlled her heart.
But now, this high and mighty man is willing to sacrifice his own life to save her.
Lu Xiang's heart was deeply shaken!
So this is what it feels like to be loved and cherished.
Lu Xiang's face was covered with traces of tears, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
When the masked man shot the tenth arrow, she suddenly raised her hand and stabbed her chest with the hairpin in her hand.
The speed is so fast that people are caught off guard, and it is fierce and decisive.
How could she watch Chu Jinyan suffer such humiliation for her?
It is better to die alone than to die with others.
She had already gained something by living a second life, so how could she ask this man to die for her?
As long as she died, Chu Jinyan would no longer be held hostage by anyone. With his ability, it would be easy for him to leave here.
The man holding Lu Xiang hostage with a sword was startled, and saw Lu Xiang's body slowly falling to the ground.
“Lu Xiang…” Chu Jinyan’s eyes suddenly became bloodshot and he let out a shrill roar.
However, the next moment, a sharp arrow shot from a distance, with a fierce murderous aura, and hit the man who was holding Lu Xiang hostage, right in the heart.
This sudden change caused everyone in the temple to panic.
Chu Jinyan pulled the arrow out of his leg and stabbed it into the masked man's neck in a flash...
With a "puff", blood gushed out!
The masked man opened his eyes wide and died with his eyes open.
At the same time, Sheng Xian and A Man rushed in and started fighting with the remaining people.
Chu Jinyan carefully helped Lu Xiang up, his eyes filled with panic and fear, and it felt like something was blocking his throat, making it stuffy and painful.
"Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang..."
His voice was trembling badly, but it made Lu Xiang feel at ease.
Lu Xiang was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He pulled the corner of his mouth towards Chu Jinyan and closed his eyes weakly.
Chu Jinyan held his breath, pulled out the arrow from his body, ignored his bleeding wound, picked up Lu Xiang horizontally as if he were a rare treasure, and strode out.
With Sheng Xian and A Man leading the charge, Yuan Feng followed closely after receiving the signal and quickly subdued all the masked men in the temple.
Chu Jinyan gently placed Lu Xiang on the horse, then climbed onto the horse, gently held her in his arms, and galloped away...
"Your Highness is so seriously injured. Will riding a horse aggravate the injury..." Someone said worriedly as he looked at Chu Jinyan's disappearing back.
Sheng Xian said: "I can't care about so much. If you don't ride a horse, you can only wait for death. Take these people back and interrogate them strictly."
Having said that, he led a few people to chase after him.
Chu Jinyan did not go back home directly, but went straight to Doctor Miao's house.
