In front of the two armies, the north wind was howling like a ferocious beast, mercilessly hitting people's faces and bringing bursts of stinging pain.
Jin Nianchu and Jiang Jingxing were tied up and hung on the chariot. Their bodies were shivering in the cold wind. The dozen or so archers around them were like hungry wolves, aiming their arrows at them.
Jin Linlin stood not far away, filled with regret. How could she have been so careless? She had actually allowed the enemy to kidnap Jin Nianchu and Jiang Jingxing right under her nose.
She stared at the two tied figures, her heart filled with worry and self-blame.
Jiang Zhixu stood beside Jin Linlin, his eyes also fixed on his tied daughter, his face full of worry.
The masked men across from her were so hidden that it was difficult to discern their true identities. The more Jin Linlin observed these people, the more she felt that this was a case of acquaintances committing the crime.
These people obviously knew their situation very well, otherwise they would not have been able to succeed so easily.
At this moment, a soldier on the opposite side picked up the iron trumpet and shouted loudly to Jin Linlin and others:
"Listen up, people of Shangjin. If you want your princess to live, withdraw your troops immediately and cede the city, and we will not pursue this matter further. Otherwise, we will have to use her as a sacrifice!"
Jin Linlin's anger instantly ignited upon hearing this. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she remained remarkably calm. She turned to Jiang Zhixu, motioning for him to respond.
Jiang Zhixu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then responded loudly:
"The battle has been going on for so long, and countless lives have been lost on both sides. Your Majesty will never ignore the sacrifices of so many soldiers for the sake of one princess. You should change your request!"
Taking advantage of the gap in the negotiations between the two parties, Jin Linlin quickly opened the interface of the space electronic pharmacy and bought a large amount of Ecstasy Powder and Explosive Eggs without hesitation.
These items flashed quickly at her fingertips, and then she carefully put them into her backpack.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and handed the Ecstasy Powder and Explosive Egg from her backpack to Mo Yi and Mo Jiu respectively. She lowered her voice and solemnly instructed them:
"Wait for my signal, act according to circumstances, and don't act rashly."
Mo Yi to Mo Jiu exchanged glances and nodded in understanding. They held the items tightly in their hands, their hearts filled with nervousness and anticipation.
Jin Linlin checked everyone's equipment and after confirming that there was no problem, she waved her hand decisively and led Mo Yi to Mo Jiu towards the enemy's battle zone.
When they were still ten meters away from Jin Nianchu and Dabao, the masked man suddenly shouted angrily:
"Stop! Or I'll kill her!"
The roar exploded in the air like thunder, shocking everyone.
In a flash, the masked man quickly placed the knife in his hand on Jin Nianchu's neck. The blade was close to her skin, even cutting through it faintly, and a trace of blood slowly seeped out.
When Jin Linlin saw this, her heart suddenly tightened. She quickly stopped and didn't dare to take another step forward.
"Cao Jiao, Jingxing is your son. How could you treat him like this? How could you use him as a bargaining chip to threaten me?"
Jin Linlin was furious. She widened her eyes and stared at the masked man in front of her, her voice trembling with anger.
She could never have imagined that the heroine of this world would be so shameless and despicable!
However, when she got closer and saw the figure clearly, the anger in her heart burned even more fiercely.
"So what? He only has you in his heart and eyes. I'll just pretend I never gave birth to this son!"
Cao Jiao's eyes widened and she roared with anger on her face.
Jin Linlin was so angry that she was shaking all over. She really wanted to rush up and slap Cao Jiao twice, but looking at her former good sister in front of her, she resisted the urge.
"The child is here. Can you please consider his feelings when you speak? Isn't it you and your wife who caused him to become like this? Why are you blaming the child for your own problems?" Jin Linlin's voice trembled with anger.
Cao Jiao didn't want to listen to Jin Linlin's nonsense at all, so she interrupted impatiently:
"Stop talking nonsense and make your choice! You're determined to conquer the world by stepping on the lives of two children, aren't you?"
Jin Linlin took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She advised earnestly:
"Don't be impulsive. When we were at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, we really hoped to keep our child. Have you forgotten?"
Her words were full of nostalgia for the good old days, hoping to awaken a trace of conscience in Cao Jiao.
However, Cao Jiao remained unmoved. She sneered and said:
"Don't I want to? But you forced me to do all this! It was you who insisted on annexing the State of Yan and couldn't even accommodate a small piece of land like mine. Of course I had to resist! If your Shangjin Kingdom is gone, I wonder how you can annex it!"
Seeing that the two men seemed to know each other, both sides of the battle did not act rashly, and the atmosphere on the field was a little weird for a while.
However, Jiang Zhixu was astonished. He couldn't understand what his third brother's wife was doing. She actually brought children hostage to this cruel battlefield, and one of the children was her own son!
Seeing that Cao Jiao was indifferent to her threats, Jin Linlin's heart sank. It seemed that soft tactics were not enough, so she had to resort to hard tactics. She stared at Cao Jiao coldly:
"Cao Jiao, do you still remember my golden finger?"
When Cao Jiao heard this, her expression changed slightly. She certainly remembered that Jin Linlin had a mysterious space.
Seeing this, Jin Linlin sneered:
