Xie Nanjia asked casually, and without waiting for Yun Shu to answer, she turned and went to another bedroom.
Yun Shu followed with the lamp in hand and said behind her: "My father's name is Yun Zhong. Why did you suddenly ask this?"
"Nothing." Xie Nanjia said, "I thought your family took such good care of the Second Young Master's family, maybe your father was the Seventh Princess's guard or something."
"Guard?" Yun Shu was stunned for a moment and murmured, "That shouldn't be the case. I've never heard him mention it."
"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Xie Nanjia said, stepping into Zhao Jingyu's mother's bedroom.
Between Zhao Jingyu and his mother, his mother was the one who had the secret, so Xie Nanjia believed that even if something could be found, it would probably be in his mother's room.
No one knew what Yun Shu was thinking. He was quiet for a rare moment. He followed her silently with a lamp in his hand to help her light the way.
Xie Nanjia searched everywhere in the room but found nothing.
Yun Shu suggested going back to Zhao Jingyu's room to look again, but they still couldn't find it.
Both of them were very disappointed. They sat side by side on Zhao Jingyu's bare bed, and their morale when they came here was completely lost.
"You're so smart, I thought you would find something that others couldn't find." Yun Shu said frustratedly, "How about you take another look at the wall, the floor, or under the bed, are there any secret passages or anything like that?"
"The house was built by your father. Wouldn't he tell you if there are any mechanisms?" Xie Nanjia said.
Yun Shu thought about it and became even more depressed: "Then our trip was in vain, right?"
Xie Nanjia hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we go to your house and take a look? Maybe after Zhao Jingyu left, your parents found the box he had forgotten while helping to clean up the house, and took it back to your house to keep it away. After all, no one lives here, and it's bound to be eaten by insects and rats over time."
"Yes, why didn't I think of that!" Yun Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said, "It's already dark outside. There are often poisonous snakes and scorpions in the desert at night. To be on the safe side, let's go look for it tomorrow during the day!"
Xie Nanjia didn't say anything. He followed her suggestion, took out the old bedding from the closet and spread it out on the bed. He ate some dry food, drank some water, and lay down to sleep without washing his hands and feet.
The bedding, which had not seen the sun for many years, had an unpleasant musty smell. Even when Xie Nanjia was on the farm, she had never suffered such torture. She tossed and turned until midnight before she fell asleep.
Yun Shu also couldn't sleep, so she kept her eyes open and waited in the dark. When Xie Nanjia could no longer bear it and began to breathe evenly, she quietly got up, put on her clothes, got out of bed, and tiptoed to the door.
The door opened and closed. Xie Nanjia listened to her footsteps fading away, got up and followed her out.
The moonlight was dim, covering the silent courtyard like a veil, and Yun Shu's figure disappeared outside the courtyard wall.
Xie Nanjia was not in a hurry and followed slowly behind. She knew where Yun Shu was going, so she was not afraid of losing him.
Sure enough, Yun Shu quickly walked to the door of her own home, opened the fence gate, and slipped in.
Xie Nanjia stood outside and watched her open the door to the main room and then close it again.
Xie Nanjia waited for a while, until the lights in the house came on, and confirmed that Yun Shu would not suddenly come out, then he tiptoed over.
She did not go into the house directly, but came to the window and listened to the movement inside by leaning against the wall.
To her surprise, she heard voices coming from inside the house.
The stone walls were well soundproofed, so she couldn't hear what was being said, but at that moment, she immediately got goose bumps all over her body.
This is clearly an empty house, who is Yun Shu talking to
She suppressed the creepy feeling in her heart, stood on tiptoe to push the window open a crack, and looked inside with one eye. She was shocked to find that there was not just Yun Shu inside, but three people.
In addition to Yunshu, there was a man and a girl with disheveled hair sitting on the ground.
The girl was skinny, ragged, with chains on her hands and feet, and her face hidden by her messy hair. At first glance, she looked like a ghost.
"Take the person away quickly and find a place to hide first. We have to clean up the house quickly. That Xiu'er is very smart, so don't let her find any flaws." Yun Shu ordered the man.
The man seemed reluctant and complained, "It's so late at night. It's really tiring."
Despite his complaints, he still pulled the man up from the ground, carried him on his shoulders and walked out the door.
Xie Nanjia held his breath and lay down directly on the ground, not caring whether there were any poisonous snakes, scorpions or insects on the ground.
Fortunately, the man was in a hurry to leave and didn't look around. He just carried the person away.
Yun Shu did not follow him out. He was busy cleaning the house inside and told the man to come back as soon as he could to help clean up after he hid the person.
The man walked away muttering to himself. Xie Nanjia thought for a moment, got up from the ground, and followed him silently.
The man took many detours out of the town and carried the girl into an abandoned land temple. He tied an iron chain to the back of the statue, closed the two dilapidated doors, strung a stick on the door knocker, and then quickly returned to the town.
Xie Nanjia waited quietly for a while, and when she was sure that the man would not come back, she walked out of the darkness, opened the door and entered the temple.
Fortunately, the temple is small and there is a big hole in the roof. The faint moonlight shines in, and you can vaguely see what's inside.
Xie Nanjia turned around and found the girl behind the statue.
The girl lay on the ground, unable to even breathe.
Xie Nanjia bravely sniffed her breath and confirmed that she was not dead. Only then did he feel relieved. He squatted on the ground to help her up, shaking her shoulders and calling her repeatedly: "Girl, girl..."
After calling for a long time, the girl finally woke up, moaning like a mosquito.
"Who are you?" Xie Nanjia asked her.
The girl panted quickly and said intermittently: "I, I am, Yun, Yunshu..."
Xie Nanjia's heart suddenly shook and he couldn't help but gasp.
She said she was Yunshu, then who was the previous Yunshu
Before this, she had indeed noticed that there was something wrong with Yun Shu, but she had never doubted her identity. She just thought that Yun Shu was bribed by Mu Yuan or other masters of Yuze Kingdom.
Now it seems that if the girl in front of me is the real Yun Shu, the other Yun Shu must be a fake.
Xie Nanjia felt a chill down her spine and her hair stood on end. If that Yun Shu was fake, then her disguise was too clever. Not only did she deceive everyone including herself, she even made Cheng Zhiye let Mu Yuan go for nothing for her.
If Cheng Zhiye knew that the girl he loved was a liar, I wonder how sad he would be.
Xie Nanjia had heard her father talk about the important role spies played when two countries were at war, but she had never experienced it personally and didn't know how powerful spies were. Now, for the first time in her life, she felt the horror of spies.
If she hadn't seen through Yun Shu's lies in the Yu Ze Palace and followed her to find the Red Order, she might never have known that Yun Shu was a fake.
She didn't know, and it was even less likely that Zhao Jingyu and Cheng Zhiye would know. By then, she didn't know how many times they would be fooled.
Around three o'clock in the morning, Yunshu and the man finally restored the house to its state as if it had not been lived in for a long time, and then quietly slipped back and climbed back into bed on tiptoe.
Xie Nanjia suddenly raised her head and asked her dazedly, "What have you been doing?"
Yun Shu was startled and answered hastily, "I went out to relieve myself."
"Oh." Xie Nanjia turned over and said nothing more.
Yun Shu patted his chest lightly, calmed himself down, lay down beside her, and slowly closed his eyes.
Perhaps they really couldn't hold on any longer. Although they had their own thoughts, they finally fell into a deep sleep.
When they woke up, it was already bright outside. They got up, fetched some water from the ancient well in the yard, and washed and watered the horses.
This well is quite old, with a thick layer of dead branches and leaves floating on it. The water drawn from it is also very turbid. It's fine for horses to drink, but it's impossible for humans to drink it.
Fortunately, they had prepared plenty of dry food and water. After filling their stomachs, they went to Yunshu's home.
Yun Shu found the key from the crack in the stone wall and opened the door as usual. He also carefully explained to Xie Nanjia that people here usually hide their keys in this way.
The door opened, and Xie Nanjia stepped into the house. He saw that the house was dusty everywhere, and all objects, big and small, were covered with sand and dust. It looked like no one had lived there for a long time. He couldn't help but secretly admire Yun Shu's ability to fake things.
She is really an expert at this and can fake anything.
Yun Shu looked like he was returning home from a long journey. He walked around and sighed, his eyes were red and there was no trace of disguise at all.
Xie Nanjia said a few words of comfort and searched the room with her.
Later, Xie Nanjia found the wooden box in the hidden compartment of the old wardrobe in Yunshu's mother's room.
Yun Shu was overjoyed, hugging the box and said happily: "Xiu'er, you are really amazing. Why didn't I think that such a shabby wardrobe would have a hidden layer? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble."
"It didn't take much trouble!" Xie Nanjia said, "I said I would come to look for it last night, but you insisted on waiting until today. Isn't it going pretty smoothly?"
Yun Shu's eyes flickered, and he nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, that's why I said you are amazing!"
Xie Nanjia smiled and said, "Okay, stop praising me and find a way to open the box!"
Yun Shu looked down at the delicate copper lock on the box. After pulling it a few times without success, he said impatiently, "There's no time to lose. Let's just smash it open!"
Xie Nanjia looked at her in surprise and said, "This is your little brother's dream, and you just smashed it like that?"
Yun Shu realized that he was too impatient, so he changed his tone and said, "Yes, I was too impatient. So what do you think we should do?"
"Of course we need to find a locksmith to open it!" Xie Nanjia said, "You grew up here, so you should know where to find a locksmith, right?"
"Oh, yes, I know. It's in town. I'll take you there." Yun Shu's face changed several times. She went out with Xie Nanjia. Just as she walked into the yard, she suddenly covered her stomach and said that she had a stomachache. She asked Xie Nanjia to go first and she would come later.
"I'll wait for you. I don't know where the locksmith is." Xie Nanjia said.
"The town is not that big, you can see it when you get there. The earlier you go, the earlier it opens, so you don't waste time." Yun Shu said, and ran away holding his stomach.
Xie Nanjia watched her rush into the toilet, gave her a knowing sneer, and went to town with the box.
She knew that Yun Shu didn't have a stomachache at all, but was afraid that no one in the town would recognize her, and then she would be exposed.
If she grew up here, it's impossible that people would forget about her just after she left for a few months.
After Xie Nanjia left, Yun Shu came out of the toilet and was wondering whether she should follow him when the man from last night suddenly came.
Yun Shu was startled and yelled at him, "Are you crazy? What are you doing out here in broad daylight? Go away!"
"Don't worry, I came here after I saw that woman leave." The man said, "I have something urgent to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Yun Shu's face changed, and he had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the man stammered, "Then, that girl is gone."
"What did you say?" Yun Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately raised his voice, "Why did you disappear? When did you disappear? What do you do for a living? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I helped you clean up the house last night, and when I got back to the temple, I found that she was missing. I don't know how she disappeared. I tied her up very tightly." The man seemed a little afraid of her, and he hunched over and said timidly, "I wanted to come and tell you earlier, but you were always with that woman, so I couldn't find a chance."
Yun Shu turned around a few times in a rage and said angrily, "I have never seen anyone as stupid as you. Go find it quickly. If you can't find it, you and I will be dead!"
The man hesitated, wanted to say something but didn't, then turned and hurried away.
Yun Shu stared at his back and cursed him a few more times angrily, then sat on a stone pier in the yard in a frustrated mood, thinking of a solution.
It seemed like not long after, Xie Nanjia suddenly came back.
"Is your stomach feeling better?" She asked Yun Shu with a smile, looking very happy.
Yun Shu put away his emotions, rubbed his stomach and said, "I feel better now. Why did you come back so soon?"
"Yes, I found a locksmith as soon as I arrived in town, and he opened it for me quickly." Xie Nanjia said.
In fact, she didn't go to find a locksmith at all, but found a piece of wire to open it herself. This skill was not taught to her by her father when she was a child. As for where her father learned it from, she didn't know.
"That's great. Have you checked? Is there a Red Dress Order in it?" Yun Shu completely believed her words and sat up straight with excitement.
"Yes." Xie Nanjia placed the wooden box on the stone table in front of her, opened it, took out half a piece of jade and handed it to her, "Look, is it the same as the one you gave me?"
Yun Shu didn't expect it to be so smooth, and her hands were shaking slightly with excitement.
"Xiu'er, you are really amazing." She said in a trembling voice, reaching out to take the jade ring, holding it up to the sunlight and looking at it again and again, "It's the same, the same as mine, but your grandfather is not here, how can we restore it?"
"Don't worry, I have already learned the restoration method, but there are no available materials in the town. When we return to Yuze, we can find an antique shop and I can restore it." Xie Nanjia said.
"Really?" Yun Shu was waiting for her to say this, and grabbed her hand and said excitedly, "Xiu'er, you are really capable. I said it was a good idea to bring you here!"
She was so happy that she forgot herself and didn't realize she had let the cat out of the bag.
Xie Nanjia smiled slightly, not intending to expose her: "Then let's set off and return to Yuze as soon as possible!"
Yun Shu paused, still worried about the missing girl, and didn't know if the man could find her.
But now she had no excuse to delay, so she could only obey Xie Nanjia's words, pack up and leave.
The box was difficult to carry, so Xie Nanjia put it back into Zhao Jingyu's old wardrobe.
The two returned along the same route. On the way, Yunshu suddenly thought of the marriage certificate and asked Xie Nanjia if she had seen the marriage certificate in the box.
Xie Nanjia said no, she only saw the jade ring but not the marriage certificate.
"The marriage certificate comes in two copies, and it must be exactly the same as yours. If you don't have it, then forget it. You're not going to marry Zhao Jingyu anyway, so there's no point in having it." Xie Nanjia said indifferently.
Yunshu had nothing to say, so he didn't bring it up again.
Anyway, she knew what was written on the marriage certificate, so it was just right that she couldn't find it, so that Xiu'er wouldn't have to ask someone to identify the contents.
It took the two of them five days to travel back and forth. When they entered Yuze, they realized that the situation had changed drastically.
Zhao Jingyu was not captured by the Yuze Kingdom. General Wuan's 100,000-strong army also arrived at Youyun Pass today. As they were sure that the Crown Princess had met with misfortune, they were about to declare war on Yuze, vowing to destroy Yuze and avenge the Crown Princess.
King Yuze was gathering his troops and rushing towards Youyun Pass. The people of Yuze were in danger and abandoned their homes and businesses to flee to the depths of the grassland for refuge. The city of Yudu was in chaos.
"That's great, Xiu'er. Brother Xiaoguai was not caught." Yun Shu heard the news and hugged Xie Nanjia excitedly. If they didn't know her true face, anyone would think that her happiness was from the bottom of her heart.
In comparison, Xie Nanjia was much calmer because she knew at first sight that Zhao Jingyu had not been arrested.
That night, she and Yunshu followed the patrolling guards to escape from the palace. The two guards in front of them never looked back from beginning to end. It was obvious that they were deliberately trying to take her out of the palace and deliberately spread the false news that Zhao Jingyu was arrested so that she would follow Yunshu to find the Red Order in desperation.
"Xiu'er, aren't you happy? Brother Xiaoguai hasn't been caught!" Yun Shu asked, shaking her shoulders.
"I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little surprised." Xie Nanjia said, "If we had known he hadn't been caught, we wouldn't have had to run so far."
"But we found the Red Clothes Order, which is also a good thing!" Yun Shu said, "Let's go find an antique shop and restore the Red Clothes Order, then go find Brother Xiaoguai and ask him to send someone back to the capital to get your half piece of jade, so that Brother Xiaoguai can command the Red Clothes Army, what do you say?"
"Okay." Xie Nanjia replied with a smile, "Then let's go find an antique shop quickly!"
The people in the city were busy fleeing and almost all the shops were closed. The two men searched for a long time but couldn't find an antique shop that was open. Finally, they had to use dishonorable means again and pry open the door of an antique shop.
Xie Nanjia asked Yunshu to guard outside while he went inside to find tools to repair it.
She was not as skilled as the old duke, and it took her three full hours to reveal the true appearance of the half piece of jade. Although she did not recognize the words on it, she thought it should be related to the Red Robe Order.
Yun Shu said she didn't know him either, and she didn't know if she was lying, so Xie Nanjia didn't bother to pursue the matter.
Although they were extremely tired, the two did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed to Youyun Pass with Yuhuan without stopping.
Along the way, they saw many Yu Ze people dragging their families and driving their livestock to retreat towards Yudu. After asking around, they learned that the army of the Great Zhou had already passed Youyun Pass and captured Lechuan, the closest city to Youyun Pass in Yu Ze.
Xie Nanjia knew Lechuan. When she followed Mu Yuan into the grassland, she had stopped there to rest and drink tea.
The Yu Ze Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses, and its warriors are known for their ferocity and bloodthirstiness. The army of the Great Zhou traveled a long distance, but was able to capture a city within a day. It seemed that they were forced into a corner.
Did they really think she was dead
The two countries were at war and the people were suffering. Xie Nanjia couldn't bear it, so he reminded the people not to blindly think that the capital was safe, because the people in the capital had already fled elsewhere. Instead of going to the capital, they might as well hide in more remote places.
The two were clearly heading to the most dangerous place, but they were not intercepted along the way. At sunset the next day, they arrived at Lechuan unimpeded.
The army of Yu Ze State was stationed in the north of Lechuan. After a day and night of hard fighting, they finally succeeded in stopping the advance of the army of Da Zhou. Both sides were exhausted, and as the sun was setting, they temporarily ceased fighting and each cooked in their own camp.
Xie Nanjia and Yun Shu waited far away until it was completely dark, then they abandoned their horses and crawled along the border between the two armies.
Similarly, when passing through the Yu Ze Army's defense, the two did not encounter any obstruction. The patrolling soldiers seemed to be blind and deaf, allowing them to cross the border.
As a result, when they arrived at the Great Zhou military camp, they were discovered as soon as they showed their heads. Several soldiers tied them up viciously and sent them to the military tent of General Wu'an.
Xie Zhanting and Zhao Jingyu had just finished dinner and were discussing tomorrow's attack strategy with Xie Nanfeng, Cheng Zhiye, Zhou Yuncheng and others around the sand table in the tent when they suddenly heard a report from outside that two enemy spies had been captured.
Everyone stopped and looked outside the tent, and Xie Zhanting ordered someone to be brought in.
Xie Nanjia and Yunshu were still wearing the guard uniforms of the Yuze Palace. They hadn't changed their clothes for seven days. In this hot summer, one could imagine how smelly they were.
In addition, the two of them were disheveled and dusty, so the people in the tent did not recognize them. Instead, they all covered their mouths and noses and backed away.
Only Zhao Jingyu, after being stunned for a moment, suddenly rushed over, snatched Xie Nanjia from the soldier's hands, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Everyone else was stunned. Before they could react, they heard Zhao Jingyu burst into tears.
"Wife, where have you been? You scared me to death..." He cried and hugged Xie Nanjia tightly, almost breaking Xie Nanjia's ribs.
Xie Nanjia felt a warm current spread throughout her body, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. At this moment, she felt that everything she had done was worth it.
Great value!
young married woman
The others then realized that this spy, who was three times stinkier than a beggar, was Xiu'er
Oh my god!
Everyone exclaimed and rushed over.
After all, Xie Zhanting is a general and an elder, so he cannot yell like the children. He stood there alone, turned his head quietly and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
When everyone rushed towards Xie Nanjia, only Cheng Zhiye looked at Yun Shu hesitantly, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then rushed over and grabbed her hand.
"Yun Shu, it's really you, great, you're back..." he shouted excitedly.
Yun Shu was distracted for a moment, but soon pulled his hand away, staring and said, "Why are you pulling and tugging? Don't you know that it's forbidden for men and women to have sex?"
Cheng Zhiye was so happy that he didn't care about her attitude. He just looked at her and laughed.
Yun Shu curled his lips and said, "Are you a fool?"
Over there, Zhao Jingyu was still hugging Xie Nanjia and crying, as if a child who had been lost for many days had found his mother. She looked so aggrieved and so coquettish.
Everyone had already gathered around him, but seeing how embarrassing he looked, they quietly moved away and let him cry until he was done.
He had indeed been having a very hard time these past few days. If Xiu'er didn't come back, he really wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.
It is said that men are the backbone of women, but why does it feel like it's the other way around here
Xie Nanjia shed a few tears, and later, seeing that he kept crying and she was at a loss what to do with him, she patted his back and whispered comfort in his ear.
After comforting her for a long time, Zhao Jingyu finally stopped crying, let go of Xie Nanjia, and said belatedly, "Wife, you stink."
Xie Nanjia: “…”
Everyone: “…”
You've been hugging me for a long time, and you only smell the stench now
After Xie Nanjia regained his freedom, he went to visit Xie Zhanting immediately.
"Xiu'er is unfilial and has made father worry." She knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to her father.
Xie Zhanting's throat tightened, he bent down to help her up, holding back tears and said, "It's good that you're back. Why don't you go change your clothes first and then come over to talk to everyone."
"The situation is urgent, I'd better talk first and then go wash up!" Xie Nanjia said, patting Xie Nanfeng on the head and asking him to pour him a glass of water.
Xie Nanfeng almost shed tears, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked away to pour water.
Xie Nanjia drank the water, took out the half jade ring from his arms and handed it to Zhao Jingyu: "Look what I found."
Zhao Jingyu's eyes widened immediately, he took the jade and looked at it again and again, and asked in surprise: "How did you find it?"
Xie Nanjia said, "Yunshu and I went to Xirong together and found your little box at Yunshu's house. You forgot to take it when you left, so Yunshu's mother put it away for you."
"..." Zhao Jingyu couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Xie Nanjia and then at Yun Shu. "You two, how dare you be so bold? Since you escaped from Yuze Palace, why didn't you look for me first? You actually went to Xirong without telling anyone and made me worry to death."
"Brother Xiaoguai," Yun Shu came over and said before Xie Nanjia, "We were originally going to look for you, but we heard from Yuze's guards that you were captured and imprisoned in Yuze's palace. We were all confused at the time and didn't think about whether the news was true or not. So we decided to look for the Red Clothes Order and use it to exchange you back."
"Haha, using the Red Clothes Order to exchange people, then we really have the same idea." Cheng Zhiye interrupted from the side.
It can be seen that he was in a particularly good mood because Yun Shu was back.
Yun Shu just rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.
"Brother Xiaoguai, please send someone back to the capital to get Xiu'er's half piece of jade. With the Red Clothes Order, you can command the Red Clothes Army."
"No need to go back to the capital, the half piece of jade is here with me." Zhao Jingyu said.
"Here with you? Why?" Xie Nanjia and Yun Shu asked at the same time.
"Because of me." Zhou Yuncheng hurriedly stepped forward to take credit, "When I left the capital, I went to visit the young lady and asked her to help find the half piece of jade for me..."
"Don't flatter yourself. I told you to do it." Zhao Jingyu took the credit before he could finish.
Xie Nanjia was amazed: "Did you know about the Red Dress Order and its purpose at that time?"
"Yes, I'm smart, right, my wife?" Zhao Jingyu was very proud, and his face was full of "Praise me, praise me".
"Smart, our Second Young Master is so smart." Xie Nanjia praised him generously and even applauded him a few times.
Zhao Jingyu became more and more proud, and her pair of peach blossom eyes shone so brightly that the candlelight in the tent was eclipsed.
“Brother Xiaoguai, quickly take out that half piece of jade and see if you can put it together as one piece.” Yun Shu urged impatiently.
Zhao Jingyu then took out the half piece of jade that he was carrying with him, and under everyone's fixed gaze, put it together with the half that Xie Nanjia had brought back.
The two fractures are connected tightly, without any error.
“That’s right, that’s right…” Everyone was very excited.
At this moment, Yun Shu suddenly stepped forward, snatched the jade ring and put it in his arms, and at the same time took out a dagger from his sleeve and pressed it against Xie Nanjia's neck when no one expected it.
This sudden change came so suddenly that everyone was stunned for a moment. When they came to their senses, Xie Nanjia had already been controlled by Yun Shu.
"Yunshu, what are you doing?" Cheng Zhiye was so frightened that his heart stopped beating, and he reached out to pull her.
“Stop! If anyone dares to move, don’t blame me for being rude.” Yun Shu shouted loudly, his tone was cold and his eyes were sharp. His face no longer had the innocence and naivety of the past.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, fearing that she might hurt Xie Nanjia.
"So you are really from Yuze Country." Zhao Jingyu's face turned cold, and he suddenly changed from a crybaby to a cold-faced devil, exuding a murderous aura. "Tell me, who is your master, and what do you want?"
Yun Shu's hands trembled slightly under his gaze, but she quickly calmed down and said seriously, "I am only following orders to find the Red Dress Order. As for who the master is, I cannot tell you. Second Young Master, please let me go. Once I hand over the Red Dress Order to the master, I will return Miss Xiu'er intact."
"Why should I trust you?" Zhao Jingyu said.
“Based on this!” Yun Shu gritted his teeth, and the dagger left a bloody mark on Xie Nanjia’s thin white neck. “I don’t want you to believe me, but I want you to listen to me.”
"If you dare to hurt her again, I will cut you into pieces!" Zhao Jingyu was furious, his eyes were red, like a bloodthirsty devil.
"Let me go and I won't hurt her. Otherwise, we'll die together." Yun Shu said, and pressed the dagger deeper with a hard heart.
Bright red blood suddenly flowed down, and the tent was silent.
"Let her go!" Xie Zhanting said in a deep voice.
Everyone had to make way.
Zhao Jingyu and Cheng Zhiye pretended not to hear and stood there unwilling to move aside.
Zhou Yuncheng and Xie Nanfeng stepped forward to pull the two apart, and Yun Shu took Xie Nanjia and retreated step by step out of the tent.
"Yun Shu!" Just as she was about to leave the tent, Cheng Zhiye suddenly called her and asked her with red eyes, "We all treat you as a family member, why are you doing this?"
Yun Shu paused, glanced at him, and said coldly: "No reason, each serves his own master."
Cheng Zhiye stood there in a daze, watching her disappear outside the tent.
Everyone chased after her, but they were helpless and could only watch her move closer and closer to the Yu Ze Army's territory.
When they were almost there, Yun Shu suddenly blew a whistle, and immediately a dozen black shadows appeared at the border, surrounding her and Xie Nanjia and quickly moving away.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" someone asked in the darkness.
Zhao Jingyu said nothing, turned around and strode back to the tent.
It's not that he really couldn't do anything about Yun Shu, but when Xie Nanjia was comforting him just now, she whispered to him not to stop Yun Shu no matter what he did.
He didn't know what Xie Nanjia wanted to do, and he didn't want to watch her fall into the tiger's den again, but she was such a strong-willed person, and he was afraid that he would ruin her plans, so he had to let her go with great reluctance.
Back in the tent, he sat on the chair with a sullen face and took out a folded piece of paper from his arms. This was something Xie Nanjia had secretly stuffed into his hands just now. He took the opportunity to take out the jade ring and put it in his arms.
"What is this?" asked Xie Zhanting who followed in.
"Xiu'er gave it to me." Zhao Jingyu said as he unfolded the paper.
"So, you let Yunshu go just for this?" Xie Zhanting asked again.
Zhao Jingyu's eyes fell on the paper, and then he looked up at him: "Please don't blame me, General. Xiu'er asked me to do this."
Xie Zhanting frowned and said nothing.
Just now, Xiu'er was restrained by Yunshu and didn't say a word from beginning to end. He knew that Xiu'er must have her own ideas. Now it seems that his guess was correct.
This girl, what on earth does she want to do? She is really a cause for concern.
"General." Zhao Jingyu raised his hand and handed him the paper: "General, please find someone who knows Yuze's characters to see what is written on it."
