Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Jiang Yuzhu's figure was imprisoned, she closed her eyes and sighed sadly.

She was just a tiny bit away from escaping.

Once again, she fell into the hands of Lu Yunxi, who no longer trusted her.

Talking too much and making mistakes in front of crazy criticism will make people even more crazy. Jiang Yuzhu gritted her teeth and endured it, not daring to make a sound.

"Jiang Yuzhu, how many of your words are true?"

Lu Yunxi's eyes were red and filled with a biting coldness, and he cut Jiang Yuzhu's neck with one hand.

Without any pity, another cut was made on the white neck, and blood spurted out.

The huge pain and panic almost annihilated Jiang Yuzhu. Her mind was confused and she had to force herself to calm down. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's all true, but why should I believe you?"

"What's the benefit after I help you achieve your wish? You will be the first to be silenced."

As long as Jiang Yuzhu relented, Lu Yunxi would be angered. She could only bet that Lu Yunxi still expected to use her to achieve something and did not want to send her to see the King of Hell immediately.

But after being captured a second time, there was little hope of escape.

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yunxi's mouth, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He bent down and whispered in Jiang Yuzhu's ear, "There is a big difference. If you die first or die last, whether you leave a whole body, or even say you Can this beautiful face and the eyes be preserved intact..."

There was a moist and cool breath in her ears, and Jiang Yuzhu felt chills all over her body. In her heart, she wanted to scold Lu Yunxi's ancestors, but her mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about escaping the immediate disaster first.

Live in the moment, be as comfortable as possible, and worry about the future later.

"Cousin, if you say that, I will understand."

Jiang Yuzhu pointed at the sky and said, "It's rainy and cold. If I get a fever and fall ill, our plan will be delayed."

"Humph, Jiang Yuzhu, you know the current affairs."

Lu Yunxi sneered twice. He had never seen such a eloquent person who was also greedy for life and afraid of death.

Jiang Yuzhu covered the wound on her neck and said with resentment, "Then you have seen it now."

Lu Yunxi: "..."

One word from him could determine Jiang Yuzhu's life or death. At this critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu still dared to argue!

When the great task is completed, Lu Yunxi will definitely pry open Jiang Yuzhu's head to see what is inside.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and deep and shallow pits were made on the ground by the rain.

A few dozen meters outside the city wall, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded.

Countless lanterns are like a long dragon. Even if the halo is blurred on a rainy night, many people can be seen.

Lu Yunxi carried Jiang Yuzhu to the city wall and looked down. His eyes trembled slightly, without any warmth, and he said sarcastically: "Jiang Yuzhu, your lover is here to save you!"

In front of the crowd, the man coming on horseback was Xie Zhao.

After Xie Zhao found his lair, Lu Yunxi gave Jiang Yuzhu a meaningful look.

"Not a lover, but a husband."

The distance was too far, and Jiang Yuzhu couldn't see Xie Zhao's face. The pain from the wound clearly reminded her that what she was seeing was not a nightmare, but reality.

Xie Zhao brought people to rescue her, but the timing was not good.

By chance, Jiang Yuzhu was taken as a hostage by Lu Yunxi and allowed to be slaughtered.

On a rainy night, the two parties were not far apart. Xie Zhao's men held crossbows and pointed them in the direction of the city wall.

Seeing this, Lu Yunxi pushed Jiang Yuzhu forward to use as a human shield, and shamefully hid behind her.

"Master, what should we do?"

Outside the city gate, Hongjin and Hongxiu who followed were pale and panicked.

Even if their people surrounded them all, they would not dare to act rashly with the wife in the opponent's hands.

Xie Zhao lowered his eyes, raised his hand to make a stop gesture, and said in a clear and authentic voice to the sound of rain: "Lu Yunxi, you are surrounded on all sides, so let's just fight it off."

Lu Yunxi was deceived into Xinyang, firstly to buy time for Fugui and Wanwan, and secondly, to wipe out all the remaining members of Lu Yunxi's party.

All the credit belongs to his wife.

Xie Zhao's hand holding the reins turned white. He had to hold back to prevent himself from falling off the horse. He was a step too late!

In front of his subordinates, Xie Zhao did not reveal his emotions and tried his best to maintain his composure.

"I'm going to catch you without mercy. What joke did I hear?"

Lu Yunxi sneered and laughed at Xie Zhaozhen.

As long as Jiang Yuzhu is in his hand, he still has the last trump card.

Seeing Xie Zhao making a gesture of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, Lu Yunxi squinted his eyes, held Jiang Yuzhu in front of him and said, "Xie Zhao, you have to find the right position and don't miss the shot."

The two of them were betting on Jiang Yuzhu's importance.

Lu Yunxi is not a fool. He was tricked several times and saw through Xie Zhao's tricks.

It turns out that Xie Zhao had someone assassinate him on purpose, to send a message to Jiang Yuzhu!

The couple conspired and had a tacit understanding to treat him as a fool.

If he hadn't come back early due to a premonition that something was wrong, Jiang Yuzhu would have escaped!

"Xie Zhao, you are said to be a master of calculations, have you made it this far? If you succeed by killing your wife today, you will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame."

As Lu Yunxi spoke, he took out his dagger and slashed Jiang Yuzhu's neck twice more.

However, this time the action was relatively minor and it was just a skin injury.

"Tell your people to withdraw a mile away, otherwise it won't be a sword."

Half of Lu Yunxi's face was illuminated crimson by the firelight, and the other half was in the shadow where the light could not reach. He stretched out his hand and pinched Jiang Yuzhu's neck, with veins bulging on the back of his hand.

Jiang Yuzhu's vision went dark, and her body was about to fall limply when Lu Yunxi lifted up her clothes again.

This scene was so dazzling that Xie Zhaoru suffered a heavy blow and suffered severe pain in his heart.

Unable to maintain his composure any longer, Xie Zhao held back the sweetness in his throat, took a deep breath and asked, "Lu Yunxi, what are your conditions?"

"I can intercede with the emperor on your behalf. I think you are a member of the royal family..."

Xie Zhao's body had been soaked by the rain, and his body was filled with chills.

For the current plan, Lu Yunxi must be stabilized. Xie Zhao only wanted Jiang Yuzhu, but in the end he was just one move behind.

Once Jiang Yuzhu follows Lu Yunxi into the mountains, it will be even harder for him to attack.

"Pleading? Will Xiao She, a member of the royal family, be willing to give up the throne to me?"

Lu Yunxi was too lazy to expose Xiao She's hypocrisy. He showed a bloodthirsty smile and said, "I have changed my mind. Now I just want to see how far you are willing to go for Jiang Yuzhu."

With that said, Lu Yunxi ordered his men to take out a rope and tie it to Jiang Yuzhu's ankles, pretending to throw her from the city gate.

Jiang Yuzhu was afraid of heights and cursed: "Lu Yunxi, your enemy is not me, so what's your ability to take out your anger on a woman?"

In the past, Jiang Yuzhu's provoking method might have been useful, but now that he was surrounded, Lu Yunxi took the risk and said loudly: "If you want her to survive, kneel down before me!"

Xie Zhao was Xiao She's confidant and a first-class official. Lu Yunxi could not defeat Xie Zhao several times.

Now that he had the opportunity to rub Xie Zhao's dignity on the ground, he felt very comfortable.

Perhaps, Xie Zhao also knew that he would not kill Jiang Yuzhu, it just depends on whether Xie Zhao dares to take the gamble.
