Before Xueying died, she gave the hairpin to Shen Ruoyan and told her that if she met a man named Dong Huicheng one day, she would return the hairpin to him.

On the day when she and Dong Huicheng left the city, Shen Ruoyan deliberately put this hairpin on her head, but the man didn't notice at all.

It can be seen that he does not remember at all the vows he made to each other.

Xueying was too kind and had no intention of pursuing Dong Huicheng for harming her.

However, Shen Ruoyan didn't want to let him go at all.

This kind of scum should be punished!

In fact, she could have just had Dong Huicheng beaten up, but Shen Ruoyan really wanted a liar like him to try the feeling of being deceived.

That's why I gave him the packet of medicine on purpose.

Listening to the painful moans coming from next door, Shen Ruoyan smiled and inserted the hairpin back into her hair.

In the darkness, a big hand held Shen Ruoyan's hand and led her to sit back down again.

Tang Xiuyuan put his robe on Shen Ruoyan. Shen Ruoyan was worried that he would be cold, so she took half of the clothes back.

The two leaned together and whispered softly for a while. Shen Ruoyan felt that her eyelids were heavy and she gradually fell into a dream.

In the middle of the night, the sound of fighting came again outside. Shen Ruoyan woke up in a daze and noticed her movement. Tang Xiuyuan's big hand covered her head and rubbed it gently.

Shen Ruoyan yawned, her mind still a little dazed.

It wasn't until I heard a few screams that I woke up completely.

The location they are currently in is a valley similar to a gourd. The mouth of the gourd is thin and long, making it a perfect natural ambush. As long as an ambush is set up at a high place in advance, even if someone discovers the entrance, they will be able to escape. If you rush in, you will have to pay a heavy price.

Screams were heard all around. Shen Ruoyan clenched her hands tightly into fists and her body trembled slightly unconsciously.

She knew that Lu Yan's people would definitely come, but she didn't want anyone to get hurt.

At this time the cell door was opened.

In the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, all you could hear was the sharp sound of metal chains rubbing against each other.

Shen Ruoyan raised her head and tried her best to look in the direction of the door. It wasn't until the black figure walked up to her that she saw clearly that the person who came was the middle-aged man who took the lead.

Without saying a word, the man pulled her up without mercy.

"Come on, come out!"

Tang Xiuyuan nervously wanted to protect Shen Ruoyan, "Where are you taking my sister? Don't hurt my sister!"

The man swept away the wind from his palm and pushed Tang Xiuyuan away.

After being pressed outside, Shen Ruoyan was instantly shocked by the scene outside.

Several torches were discarded in the open space, and silver arrows shot down from high altitude one after another, like meteors falling into the world, weaving a rain curtain of death.

It turns out that the screams I just heard were caused by these bandits.

Shen Ruoyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yan's men did not force their way in from the entrance of the valley, but climbed over the mountains and ridges, bypassed the narrow passage without anyone noticing, climbed directly to the center of the gourd, and surrounded them from a high place. stand up.

These people thought that by guarding the long and narrow passage in the valley, they could lure the king into an urn, but they did not expect that their carefully designed trap would instead become a cage trapping them.

The hunter who wanted to catch his prey suddenly became someone else's prey.

The number of secret guards who came was not large, but they were all well-trained. They held strong bows and aimed at the bandits on the ground.

The bandits were more or less covered in glory and were running around trying to find a bunker to avoid the arrows.

The man pushed Shen Ruoyan hard from behind, pushed her to the open space, pulled out a long knife and put it on Shen Ruoyan's neck. He raised his head and shouted to the top: "Call Lu Yan to come out, or I will kill this person." female."

The rain of arrows around him stopped instantly.

The man's hoarse voice seemed to echo in the valley.

Shen Ruoyan was held hostage and stood in an empty valley.

The mountain forest at night seemed extremely quiet. The breeze blew from all around, gently blowing the hem of her clothes. The moon in the sky was half-hidden behind the dense branches. If there were not still broken arrows and stains of blood on the ground, it would really be possible. The artistic conception of the bright moon emerging from the sky and the dense forest spreading light.

The man pressed Shen Ruoyan and took a few steps forward. The knife edge rushed towards the girl's white neck, and he looked around with a wary expression.

Under the moonlight, a white figure flew down the cliff.

Seeing the tall figure getting closer and closer to her, Shen Ruoyan opened her mouth, but before she could make a sound, the man behind her was the first to warn her: "Don't come here!"

As he spoke, the knife placed on Shen Ruoyan's neck got a little closer.

Lu Yan stopped and greeted the man behind Shen Ruoyan: "Uncle Zhou, long time no see."

A few feet away, Lu Yan's figure was enveloped in the vast night. The expression on his face could not be seen clearly, and his voice seemed vague and insubstantial.

Sure enough, this man was General Lu's deputy general - Uncle Zhou.

"Hmph, don't call me Uncle Zhou!" The man didn't seem to have any intention of reminiscing about the past. He put the big knife against Shen Ruoyan's neck and said directly, "I heard that this is your beloved woman. I heard that the most painful woman in the world is The thing is to watch your lover die in front of you."

Shen Ruoyan's heart trembled, she didn't expect Uncle Zhou to be so crazy.

"But because of our past friendship, I still want to give you a chance to choose." Uncle Zhou continued, "Today, one of you and her must die. Whether you die or she dies depends on your own decision. ”

After hearing what he said, Shen Ruoyan ignored the knife on her neck, struggled desperately, and shouted to Lu Yan: "No! Don't listen to him!"

But his hands were firmly held by Uncle Zhou, and he couldn't break free.

Afraid that Lu Yan would make an impulsive decision, Shen Ruoyan said, "Lu Yan is just lying to you. Don't choose you because of what you believe. If you die, he will definitely not let me go. Just leave quickly and leave me alone." I'll let the secret guards keep firing arrows!"

After Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, she was about to hit the knife edge.

How could Uncle Zhou let her ruin his good deeds? He pulled the person back, moved the knife edge outward, and regained control of the person.

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense. If you keep arguing, I will kill you with one knife!" Uncle Zhou threatened.

Shen Ruoyan rolled her eyes at him, not afraid at all that Uncle Zhou would kill her.

When she hit the knife edge just now, Uncle Zhou hadn't pulled him back. Now he was just bluffing when he said he wanted to kill her.

At the critical moment, Shen Ruoyan's heartbeat was beating like a drum. She turned her head to the man behind her and advised, "Uncle, you see that your people are surrounded now. Even if you kill both of us, you and your brothers will not be able to survive." If you can’t escape, why make a fuss and endanger both sides?”
