When Shi Qingxue heard Wei Ziye's thoughts, she shook her head without thinking.
"no."
Wei Ziye was a little anxious and spoke in a strong tone. "Liu Niang, now is not the time to be kind. If you can't save your life, how can you be a good person?"
"You think I..." Shi Qingxue was stunned for a moment before realizing that Wei Ziye had misunderstood her.
Although she had many reasons to persuade Wei Ziye, now was really not the time to argue.
She paused and said, "Then give it a try as you said!"
Wei Ziye was overjoyed and was about to pack Ye Zhixin and send it out to people outside, but he didn't expect that Ye Zhixin had already expressed his intention to seek peace. The arrows outside did not stop at all, and even became more violent.
It was clear that he wanted to kill them all.
Wei Ziye finally saw this reality clearly, and when he looked back and thought about Shi Qingxue's performance just now, he suddenly understood everything.
Shi Qingxue vetoed his proposal just to save Ye Zhixin. She had clearly seen how ruthless the people outside were, and understood that even if they handed Ye Zhixin over now, it would be useless.
The other party is now going to kill people and silence them!
Wei Ziye secretly cursed himself as 'stupid', and apologized to Shi Qingxue with great shame, "Liu Niang, this subordinate..."
Shi Qingxue interrupted him first and said gently: "There is no need to talk about this matter. Let's think about how to get out of trouble, right?"
She understood Wei Ziye's thoughts. Even though she clearly saw the sinister intentions of the people outside, she didn't stop Wei Ziye from negotiating with the other party just now. Didn't she still have a little bit of 'fantasy' towards those people
This is no wonder Wei Ziye has such thoughts.
She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Mo Junyang.
Since just now, Mo Junyang has been silent.
Even though this man has never been very talkative, this behavior is a bit abnormal for a man.
Mo Junyang felt her gaze, smiled at her, and said softly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
This was said so firmly, as if they didn't even realize that they were almost cornered.
Shi Qingxue: "..."
She simply didn't know what else to say to express her helpless mood at this time.
Wei Ziye also looked at Mo Junyang anxiously and asked: "Master, what should we do now, please tell me."
Although their door had been consciously reinforced by Wei Ziye before and would not be easily damaged, but with such a dense attack of sharp arrows, no matter how strong the door was, it would not last long!
After the sharp arrows penetrated the door, it was their turn to become a hornet's nest.
Mo Junyang just looked at the door and said calmly: "No hurry, just wait."
Shi Qingxue & Wei Ziye: "..."
Mo Junyang's calm and breezy look seemed as if what was outside was not a rain of swords, but just a shower.
And he was the one listening to the rain through the door.
There are so many flaws here that Shi Qingxue doesn’t even know how to complain.
At this time, the solid wooden door finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a sharp arrow suddenly pierced the wooden door and shot in.
However, the door panel removed most of the impact of the arrow, and it fell to the ground before it could fly in front of Shi Qingxue.
A critical moment, a near miss.
Shi Qingxue felt her little heart pounding, and she didn't feel lucky at all.
If this arrow has not been shot, there is no guarantee that the next arrow will not...
Qingxue secretly gritted her teeth and was about to emphasize the seriousness of the problem to Mo Junyang again, when something magical happened.
The 'pah pah pah' sound outside all of a sudden disappeared, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
However, Shi Qingxue did not relax because of this, but became more and more nervous.
The arrow rain has stopped, does that mean there is a more terrifying attack waiting for them
"Don't be afraid." Mo Junyang noticed Qingxue's uneasiness and gently pulled her into his arms, indicating that she could relax.
Only then did Shi Qingxue realize that Mo Junyang was more relaxed than before, and didn't look like he was trapped at all.
Even if Mo Junyang has always been calm and unhurried, isn't it a bit too arrogant to be so completely indifferent
The next second, the door was pushed open violently.
Shi Qingxue shrank instinctively when she heard a familiar shout.
"Sister Xue, I'm here to save you!"
Qingxue suddenly turned her head to look, and saw Mo Junzhan running in from outside happily and running up to her with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness Ninth Prince?" Shi Qingxue shouted loudly, with a little surprise and doubt in his expression.
In fact, she was confused inside.
Why is Mo Junzhan here
Following Mo Junzhan were Wei Zichao and his party who had separated from them. When they saw Mo Junyang, they knelt on the ground and said, "I am late, please forgive me, master."
Mo Junyang waved his hand to signal him to get up and asked, "Where are the people outside?"
"They have been captured and tied up outside by His Highness Ninth Prince and his subordinates. Please give me instructions, Master." Wei Zichao pointed to the door.
Mo Junyang went out to take a look and saw more than a dozen people in official uniforms tied up and thrown in the middle of the yard. Beside them were captured bows and arrows and some unused gunpowder.
It seems that these people have a lot of 'back tricks'!
Mo Junyang sneered, casually pulled out a long sword from a guard's waist and picked up one of the officials, "Who asked you to come?"
The bright blade of the sword was close to the officer's neck. He was so frightened that he swallowed hard and did not dare to hide it at all. He stammered: "Yes, it was the prefect who asked me to..."
Shi Qingxue knew that the officials in Jiangzhou City would not allow them to spend their days in Jiangzhou peacefully, but she did not expect that they would be so low-key as this, but they would be raped just a few days after entering the city. Killer.
She almost wanted to praise the Jiangzhou magistrate, saying "what a courage"!
However, before they could ask any more questions, another loud shout came from outside the courtyard: "The prefect is here!"
Then, soldiers with swords in their belts filed in one by one and surrounded them all along the courtyard wall.
A small fifth-grade prefect, his appearance is comparable to that of the current emperor.
Before I saw him, I heard a superior voice saying: "Who is so bold as to stop the government from running an errand? Don't you want to live?"
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man wearing an official hat and official uniform with a white pheasant pattern walked in surrounded by others.
This man was short in stature and slightly overweight, and his loose official uniform could not hide his slightly bulging belly, making his originally majestic image look bloated.
He may have been used to being domineering for a long time, and his expression and posture all gave the signal of "I am a beast in disguise"!
It was the first time that Shi Qingxue saw an official who almost didn't have the word 'bad guy' carved on his face, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This high official—it was Yan Xu, the famous Jiangzhou magistrate—immediately felt offended, glared at Shi Qingxue fiercely, and shouted loudly: "You are so impatient, you dare to laugh at me, come on, Get it for me!"
He gave the order, but before the soldiers could take action, Wei Zi all showed his swords towards the guards they had brought.
Mo Junzhan put his sword on the neck of the Jiangzhou magistrate and snorted coldly: "You dare to attack Sister Xue, I think you are desperate for your life!"
Yan Xu has been the prefect of Jiangzhou for so many years, and he is like a local tyrant. Others have always been afraid of him to death. This is the first time he has been threatened like this, but his life is controlled by Mo Junzhan.
His aura was weakened by more than one level. He just stared and stammered at Mo Junzhan: "How dare you, Ben? I am an official of the imperial court. If you dare to offend, aren't you afraid of being killed?"
"I want to see whose head falls faster!" Mo Junzhan snorted and turned to look at Wei Zichao, "Take out the imperial edict!"
Mo Junyang's trip was naturally accompanied by Mo Junyu's imperial edict, but in order to disguise it more thoroughly, Mo Junyang handed the edict to Wei Zichao from the beginning.
Wei Zichao had never taken out the imperial edict along the way, and he didn't know how the Ninth Prince knew that the edict was in his hands.
He was stunned for a moment and glanced at Mo Junyang secretly, but the other party made no comment.
Mo Junzhan on the other end also stared over, and Wei Zichao had no choice but to take out the imperial edict from his arms.
As soon as Yan Xu saw Huang Liangliang's imperial edict, he knew that he had hit a brick wall this time. Without waiting for Wei Zichao to read out the imperial edict, he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "I don't know that the imperial envoy has come all the way, and I hope you won't be welcomed at a distance." Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Ah?" Mo Junzhan was stunned for a moment, and Yan Xu thought he was Mo Junyang.
Just as he was about to explain, a big hand was placed on his shoulder, and a cold voice came from behind.
"Isn't Master Yan here? Today's 'greeting' is really unique and eye-opening for both the Crown Prince and us!"
It was Mo Junyang who interrupted.
Mo Junzhan was not stupid and immediately realized that the other party meant to make mistakes.
It stands to reason that Mo Junzhan would definitely not be happy to be ordered to do things by his 'love rival', but Qingxue also winked at him from the side.
The Ninth Prince thought for a while and decided to give Mo Junyang some face. He snorted without refuting.
Yan Xu was numbed by this sarcasm and Mo Junzhan's disdainful attitude, and he repeatedly apologized: "I am just anxious to catch the prisoner, but I didn't expect that I would offend the crown prince's residence. Please forgive me for your kindness." For the sake of public service, I will spare the official this time."
The words were a confession, but both inside and outside the words revealed that he was performing official duties, and there was nothing wrong at all.
Mo Junyang raised his eyebrows and sneered, "So, it is the prince who hindered your work? Your Jiangzhou government officials broke into private houses without saying a word, and after being kicked out, they attempted to kill people and silence them. Is this your official attitude? ? The imperial court has spent so much money to raise you two to be fat and fat, just to let you carelessly treat human lives and ignore the lives and property of the people?"
A louder shout made Yan Xu speechless. He was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his whole body was shaking and twitching, as if he would collapse to the ground in the next second.
A young man who was still following Yan Xu helped Yan Xu in time and said softly: "The prefect is just worried that he will escape, which will not only cause losses to the lives and property of the people, but also cause panic throughout the process, so I am eager for success, and I hope the prince will forgive me."
In one sentence, the crime of disregarding human life was turned into a good intention of serving the people.
What a talent!
