The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Ye Beimo was still unwilling to give up, and he pressed the sword in his hand towards the necks of the people again, threatening again: "Don't force me, I will really kill them."

Lu Xiuyuan turned around and ignored him.

He knew that the more indifferent he appeared at this moment, the safer the people and the imperial seal would be.

He was betting that Ye Beimo would not kill the civilians, because as long as the chips were gone, they would not be able to escape.

"Don't you claim to be righteous? Don't you care about the people?" Ye Baijiang looked at Xia Younan and others and asked madly.

However, Xia Younan and the others also understood the priorities of the matter. They suppressed their inner tension, ignored him, and pretended to be relaxed and indifferent.

Seeing them like this, Ye Beimo and Ye Baijiang felt uneasy. They really didn't dare to move the common people because they were their bargaining chip to escape.

Just now, so many of them were slaughtered by Lu Xiuyuan and his men. Once they have no bargaining chips, the remaining twenty or so people can only wait for death.

The two of them discussed it with each other, and finally decided to follow the saying: "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."

"Okay!" Ye Beimo backed off and put forward a condition, "I don't want the jade seal anymore. You prepare a few fast horses for us to leave, and we will let them go. How about that?"

Lu Xiuyuan was secretly delighted. He pretended to think for a moment and agreed, "Deal!"

Ye Beimo and others held the civilians hostage. Lu Xiuyuan and others followed them, and the group went down the mountain in a mighty manner.

After going down the mountain, Lu Xiuyuan asked Zhu Lixiong Fei to lead ten people to the city to purchase horses, while they waited at the foot of the mountain.

"Dad!" As soon as everyone got down the mountain, they saw a masked woman pushing a wheelchair coming out of the hidden woods.

The woman was dressed in coarse cloth and her hair was tied with a piece of rag. She looked very shabby.

The person in the wheelchair in front of her was even more miserable, with no limbs and only two black holes for his eyes. His mouth was also empty, without the tongue that could spit out human speech, and he looked like the legendary "human pig".

Seeing these two people, Xia Younan knew who they were without thinking. He greeted them with a sneer, "Isn't this Ye Yuqing and the Prime Minister's wife? It's been a long time since we last met. Are you two doing well?"

As soon as he saw her, Ye Yuqing's eyes almost spit fire. He glared at her with hatred and scolded her, "Bitch, don't be too proud. Sooner or later, I will settle all the old scores with you!"

Xia Younan rolled her eyes with disdain. She didn't think that her behavior could cause any trouble.

After Ye Yuqing asked Ye Baijiang, she realized that not only did they fail to get the jade seal, but most of the few men they had were also killed. She couldn't help but feel angry and hateful, and she wished she could eat Xia Younan alive.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Li and others brought more than twenty horses.

Lu Xiuyuan and Ye Beimo discussed the matter and decided that for every person Ye Beimo released, Lu Xiuyuan would send them a horse until the transaction was completed.

The transaction was carried out on very cautious ground. When there were only two horses left, Ye Yuqing suddenly cried out in surprise, her eyes full of fear.

"Dad! What should I do with my mother?"

Ye Baijiang was stunned and looked at Mu Zhengrong who was unable to walk in a wheelchair. His face changed drastically.

In her condition, it was impossible for her to walk, let alone ride a horse.

Ye Beimo had already ridden a horse. After a moment's thought, he advised, "Prime Minister, you can't take your wife with you in this state. It's better to give her up. She's a burden anyway. In her situation, her death would be a relief."

"But..." Ye Baijiang frowned and looked at Mu Zhengrong with an expression of reluctance.

Mu Zhengrong's only ears were not deaf. When he heard what they said, he opened his mouth and made a "wuwu" sound, and twisted his bald body desperately, as if in protest.

Even ants try to survive. Even though she looks like this, she really wants to live.

Ye Yuqing also had tears in her eyes, and asked reluctantly: "Is there no other way? She is my mother!"

Ye Beimo cruelly refused, "There is no other way. Give up on her, or none of us will be able to leave."

Ye Baijiang turned his head away reluctantly, pondered for a moment, nodded heavily, turned around and got on the horse.

Tears flowed down Ye Yuqing's eyes, and she choked up and said, "Mom, don't blame us. We can't let you drag us down anymore. You're suffering in this world, so you'd better go earlier."

After saying that, she also came to the horse and jumped onto it.

Mu Zhengrong collapsed, her mouth opened wide, tears flowed from her eye sockets, and her face was full of despair.

At this time, it was the turn of the last two civilians. A man in black pointed a sword at the civilian's back and then climbed onto the horse nimbly.

Ye Beimo clenched the reins in his hand and said to Lu Xiuyuan angrily: "Lu Xiuyuan, just wait for me. This prince will not give up. We will meet again!"

After saying that, Ye Beimo shouted "Retreat", squeezed his legs hard on the horse's belly, and drove the horse in the opposite direction of Liuyue City. Ye Baijiang, his daughter, and the other men in black followed closely.

The horses were running very fast, raising a cloud of dust. Lu Xiuyuan and the others had no mounts, so they could only watch them gallop away.

"Damn it, we just let them run away like that!" Xia Younan cursed unwillingly.

"Fortunately, the people are all fine." Lu Xiuyuan sighed, his heart full of helplessness and sadness.

The people were all rescued, and surprisingly, they did not resent Lu Xiuyuan for giving up on them earlier.

They all expressed their understanding and kowtowed to Lu Xiuyuan and the others to express their gratitude for saving their lives.

Lu Xiuyuan felt very relieved. He helped them up one by one and let them return to the city.

"What should we do with this thing?" Zhu Li pointed at Mu Zhengrong, who was in despair in the wheelchair, with a look of disgust.

Lu Xiuyuan snorted coldly, walked to the wheelchair, bent down to admire her horrifying appearance, "Madam, when you asked me to kneel on the ground and lick your feet on the day of your return, did you ever think that you would end up like this?"

Mu Zhengrong shuddered all over, her teeth chattered with fear, and she kept making whimpering sounds.

"Kill her?" Xia Younan asked.

Being easily abandoned by the two people closest to her, Xia Younan didn't dare to imagine how desperate Mu Zhengrong was feeling at this moment.

But she didn't feel sorry for her, she had not forgotten how arrogant and bad she had been.

Isn’t the current situation a naked retribution?

Lu Xiuyuan straightened up, glanced at Mu Zhengrong coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Ye Yuqing is right. In her current state, living is much more painful than dying. This king does not want to let her be free yet."

"What do you mean?"

"Just throw her here, deep in the mountains, beside the old forest. She will experience the ultimate fear and despair in the last journey of her life!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xia Younan nodded and sighed, "This matter has finally come to an end."

"Not yet!" Qu Xiaoyou suddenly replied, walking up the mountain and saying, "Qu Zhengyan hasn't been found yet. I won't be at peace until he's dead."

"Well, let's go look for him quickly. Maybe he hasn't run far." Lu Xiuyuan and his group went up the mountain again.
