After marrying a sickly and powerful official, Jiaojiao cries every day

Qi Jiuzhu couldn't bear the fierce pressure and fell to the ground with a pale face.

Sijin was stunned for a moment, then knelt down with a plop.

Qi Jiuzhu crawled on the ground, lowered his head and said carefully: "It's someone from the Western Regions."

"The groom said that the Western Region envoys had returned and ambushed them on the road to the mountain villa. The groom was outnumbered and took advantage of the chaos to return to report the news, but the lady was abducted by them. According to their itinerary, they should have gone in the direction of the desert."

The spring sunshine is warm outside the gauze window, and the gorgeous light that leaks in is reflected on the exquisite jades in the house. Brilliant light and shadow pass by for a moment, but the atmosphere is depressing as if in deep winter.

Feng Qiwu sat there in silence, her beautiful face filled with sinisterness and her eyes deep and unfathomable.

After a long while, his cold voice swept through the room: "The people of the Western Regions are cunning. I asked you to watch them carefully. Is this how you watch them?"

Qi Jiuzhu's back was already wet with cold sweat. He bowed his head and said tremblingly, "It is my fault that I did not do my job well. Master, please punish me. However, I found the traces of the people from the Western Regions who went and came back, but I didn't expect that they would kidnap my wife."

Feng Qiwu's expression became increasingly gloomy and ugly. He tapped the table with his hands, as if thinking about how to punish the criminal.

Qi Jiuzhu knew that his master was angry and did not dare to say a word.

After a moment, Feng Qiwu seemed to have thought of something and asked in a deep voice, "Did Madam resist when she was captured?"

Qi Jiuzhu thought for a moment and immediately replied, "I heard from the coachman that the lady did not resist and was dragged out of the carriage in one go. She looked so delicate and tender that she seemed to be frightened and stunned."

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu suddenly smiled. The corners of his thin lips were no longer sinister and cold, but instead had a hint of playfulness.

"How could she be so frightened?"

She kills people without blinking, so how could she be frightened?

Those people from the Western Regions were not something she was afraid of at all. She was just afraid that if the envoy died in Beilang, the people from the Western Regions would use them as a handle to put Beilang in a passive position, so she pretended to be delicate and allowed herself to be abducted.

I am afraid that once we reach the Western Desert, she will show her fangs and take action.

The envoys from the Western Regions thought they had caught a delicate little flower, but they didn't know that this delicate flower could eat people.

Just now he was so concerned that he was confused and didn't think deeply about it.

The smile on Feng Qiwu's lips grew deeper and deeper, and her extremely blatant smile of joy made Qi Jiuzhu and Sijin's scalps tingle.

After a while, Feng Qiwu said, "Qi Jiuzhu, prepare the horses."

Qi Jiuzhu couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he could only reply, "Yes."

Feng Qiwu stood up slowly. If he were to chase her to the Western Desert now, he should be able to see her beautiful and ruthless appearance when she killed people, right?

"Master, the journey is dangerous. Those people from the Western Regions must have set up a tight net. Can't you send more people?" Qi Jiuzhu looked at his resolute back and spoke without caring about anything else, his face full of worry.

This was the first time he saw his master so angry and anxious, and even wanted to go to the Western Desert alone.

At least you have to bring some people with you, right?

Feng Qiwu glanced at him and smiled mysteriously, "When I went there, they were probably all dead."

Qi Jiuzhu didn't understand what he meant, but he knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he just shut up.

-

The moon hangs alone in the sky, and the forest is desolate.

A group of people were traveling along a path in the forest. Perhaps they were afraid of being caught up, so they did not stop along the way. In just half a day, they were about to reach the border town.

The Western Region envoy sat high on a fierce horse, while Wen Ranyan had his hands and feet tied and thrown into the carriage.

The mountain road is difficult to walk on, it is steep and bumpy all the way.

Wen Ranyan, however, was sitting comfortably in the rocking carriage. The ropes that bound her were untied at some point. She was eating the fruit on the plate leisurely, looking so relaxed that she didn't seem like someone who was tied up here, but rather someone who was here for fun.

The team soon arrived at the border town, but the Western envoys were cautious and did not stop at the post station to rest. Instead, they set up camp in the desolate mountains and forests ten miles away and found some dead branches and broken wood to make a fire.

The envoy from the Western Regions sat beside the campfire, the flickering light shining on his face, the swaying shadows of the trees cast a fierce and ferocious look on his face, which for a moment seemed hideous and terrifying.

The campfire was crackling and sending out sparks. His men had found some game and were roasting it over the fire.

"Sir, will Feng Qiwu really risk his life to save this woman?" One of his subordinates asked, "If he doesn't come to save her, wouldn't it be a waste of effort for us to capture this woman?"

The Western Region envoy stared at the carriage where Wen Ranyan was, his sinister eyes half-narrowed, and said: "In front of others, Feng Qiwu always kept this woman by his side, cherishing her like the apple of his eye. How could he not come to rescue her?"

After hearing this, the subordinates still had doubts in their hearts, but they did not dare to speak out.

The Western Region envoy glanced at them, then cast his gaze on the carriage and said in a deep voice, "Get this woman down for me."

The subordinates followed his instructions and dragged Wen Ranyan off the carriage with arrogant expressions and rude behavior.

When Wen Ranyan was dragged to the campfire, her slender white wrists had already been rubbed red, and the pearl pear blossom hairpin on her bun had disappeared.

Such a plain and dishevelled appearance not only did not make her lose her colour, but instead made her more delicate and beautiful. She was as delicate as a willow tree by the river, frail and fragile, and would break at the slightest touch.

The Western Region envoy looked at her carefully and sneered: "This woman of Feng Qiwu is really beautiful. No wonder she looks down on our Western Region dancers. It turns out that she has such a beautiful lady hidden at home."

Wen Ranyan pursed her lips, looking so helpless, like a little white rabbit caught in a pack of wolves, so pitiful.

Seeing her so pitiful and helpless, everyone laughed out loud, filled with malice.

The Western Regions envoy's eyes were glued to Wen Ranyan, and suddenly, he smiled maliciously and said, "You just had doubts, what if Feng Qiwu didn't come to save her?"

"If Feng Qiwu is too cowardly to come, don't you want to have a taste of his woman? A woman with such delicate skin and tender flesh must taste great."

As the voice rose and fell, the gazes falling on Wen Ranyan gradually became more explicit.

Wen Ranyan took a step back symbolically: "You, what exactly do you want to do?"

The Western Regions envoy said: "I will use you as bait to lure Feng Qiwu to the Western Regions desert and then cut him into pieces."

Hearing this, Wen Ranyan was so frightened that her face turned pale, but her eyes hidden under the campfire were mixed with light and darkness, and it was unknown how deep they were.

"How long will it take to reach the desert?"

A gust of night wind blew, and the Western Region envoy felt a chill penetrate his bones. He shivered suddenly and felt as if he was being stared at by some cold poisonous substance. He looked around but found nothing.

He murmured in confusion, then looked at Wen Ranyan and said impatiently, "You can arrive early tomorrow morning. By then, it depends on whether Feng Qiwu is interested in you or not."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Ranyan was sent away by the Western Region envoys and imprisoned in a tent nearby.

In the dead of night.

The curtain of the tent where Wen Ranyan was was suddenly gently lifted by someone.
