Tao Yan took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"Xiao Lin, I really regret sacrificing my life for you, but in the end, you want me to die."
Xiao Lin interrupted him indifferently: "Stop talking nonsense, you are not Pei Zhiqian at all. You can fool Zhixing, but you can't fool me."
Tao Yan was also wise. He immediately looked at Pei Zhixing and said, "Brother, see, our former lord didn't care about the lives of his subordinates at all."
"No." Pei Zhixing grabbed Xiao Lin's sleeve and said, "My lord, will you let my brother go?"
"He's not your brother."
"He is."
"Pei Zhixing, be rational!" Xiao Lin took off the mask, revealing Pei Zhixing's disfigured face. "Even if he looks like Zhiqian, there's a chance he's being disguised."
"My lord, I told you, he is my brother." Pei Zhixing's eyes were firm.
"Zhixing, Pei Zhiqian is your biological brother, but you can't even tell your biological brother apart."
Xiao Lin clenched his fists and looked at Tao Yan, "Since you are so confused, I will kill him for you!"
"My Lord—"
Jing Qiaoqiao felt helpless as she watched Tao Yan put her down and fight Xiao Lin.
Just as she was hesitating about how to respond, Tao Yan was kicked two feet away by Xiao Lin and vomited blood.
"That's not right. When Tao Yan came here, he told me that he would help me if I encountered danger. Why am I going to meet Xiao Lin and kill him now?"
[Is he planning something else?]
[Forget it, let's go first. Saving his life is the most important thing.]
But before Jing Qiaoqiao could reach her side, Pei Zhixing got there first.
He stood in front of Tao Yan and looked at Xiao Lin.
His eyes were sad and full of resentment.
"My Lord, do you absolutely have to kill Zhiqian?"
"He is not." Xiao Lin repeated these three words.
"How could I not recognize my own brother?" Pei Zhixing suddenly drew his dagger. "My lord, I beg you, please let him go."
"Okay, I'll let him go."
When Xiao Lin withdrew his hand, Jing Qiaoqiao saw the emotion in Pei Zhixing's eyes.
"Zhi Qian, you go first."
"good."
Tao Yan looked up at Pei Zhixing, then stood up by supporting himself on the ground.
As a result, Xiao Lin's word "archer" broke the silence of the bamboo forest.
The people lying in ambush all around stood up from the bushes, holding their bows and crossbows, ready to fire.
Xiao Lin: I’m very smart
"Brother, look, this is what you said... Good Lord, even if it happened again, he still wouldn't let me go."
[Oh my god, could it be that Tao Yan is asking for a meeting because he's resentful of Xiao Lin for bribing Qianmian Sanniang?]
So he's courting death now?
Pei Zhixing pulled out a dagger and put it on his neck.
He threatened, "Lord, release Zhiqian!"
"impossible--"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger was already covered in blood.
Xiao Lin seemed unmoved.
But when he found Pei Zhixing with a cut on his neck, lying on the grass covered in blood.
His expression was one of shock and his eyes were bloodshot.
The last words Pei Zhixing said were, "I knew it earlier, I knew it earlier..."
[If I had known earlier... what, what is Pei Zhixing doing? ]
