They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 166 Guaranteeing that you won't go hungry or freeze and will live

Anyway, he'll be going back to his sister soon, damn it!

Chu Yu still couldn't get over that hurdle in her mind, believing that this man was there to seduce Wu Ziyan.

Thinking that they were actually doing those kinds of underhanded things behind my back, I figured the horse couldn't run fast on the street anyway.

He held the reins with one hand and twisted Qi Zexuan's waist hard with the other, making him groan in pain.

[What kind of person is this woman? This doesn't seem like she's just trying to take advantage of me; it's more like she has some deep-seated grudge against me!]

A group of people arrived at the entrance of the foreign inn, where the people at the gate immediately recognized them and greeted them with smiles.

"Your Highnesses, generals, and lieutenants, what brings you here? Are you perhaps looking for His Highness Qi Zeyun, who has just moved in?"

"That's right, I told her and brought her a gift."

Qi Zeyun heard the noise outside and came out, still wearing that deadpan expression.

However, upon seeing Qi Zexuan, who was tied up and placed on Chu Yu's horse, she smiled again.

It seems that her ally is indeed more reliable than her brother's ally.

She placed her hand on her chest, the way the young soldiers bowed.

This formal greeting was quite polite: "Greetings, Your Highness."

Wu Ziyan thought to herself, "They probably think of her as their older sister's follower."

However, he didn't care about the formalities, but when Chu Yu lifted him off the horse, it felt like he was strangling a chick.

"I heard this is your younger brother. You'd better keep a close eye on him, lest he go around having affairs outside. Don't you know that other people have families?"

His words carried a sarcastic, biting tone.

It seems that Chu Yu has indeed misunderstood quite a bit, but no one would care about such trivial matters.

Qi Zeyun ordered his men to take Qi Zexuan away and bind him tightly.

They didn't intend to let go of him, or even remove the handkerchief from his mouth.

He just kept making "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" noises, but nobody paid any attention to him.

They were all taken directly back to Qi Zeyun's room and locked up by the same guard.

But she didn't have the key, and he dared not underestimate their prince.

If you're not careful, you'll fall into his trap and lose your life.

"If you don't watch him this time, you're dead." What were Qi Zeyun's instructions to the guard?

Even without her orders, she would keep a close eye on him, because his life was more important.

As soon as they entered, they immediately dismissed their attendants, and the other foreign guests dared not approach them when they saw this display of power.

The room was surrounded by layers of people, with only a few key figures inside talking.

This display of power was intended to intimidate Qi Zeyun and let him know that this was the Martial Dynasty.

Killing her would be as easy as crushing an ant.

But she remained completely calm, befitting her status as the Crown Prince of Xiao Rong, having experienced many grand occasions.

"Since only Prince Chengji has come to visit, aren't you going to introduce the people around you?"

She recognized the short woman in the chest, but she was in a hurry and didn't have time to find out her identity.

It seems she does have some ability; otherwise, how could someone with such a frail appearance have caught Wu Chengji's eye?

"This is my deputy, Cheng Yi. This is General Chu Yu. This is General Chu Yu's younger brother, Chu Qiu. And that is my fourth sister."

Qi Zeyun: ?

What the hell? That's his fourth sister, so it's the Fourth Prince who came to pick them up!

So even though their four-horse race is so weak, it was she who made the contract with them.

I hadn't looked at it carefully back then, but after hearing this introduction, I had no choice but to examine it closely from head to toe!

"Oh, don't look at me like that, it's so embarrassing." Wu Ziyan's smile was as fake as could be.

However, our current identities are no longer important; we should discuss how to proceed next.

Even though she has captured her brother, behind Wu Chengye and the others is their mother, the Empress!

Wu Ziyan had practically worn his lips out from talking so much that he had explained Huang Ziliang's scheme at least three times.

Halfway through her speech, she grew tired and glanced at Wu Chengji, saying, "Eldest sister, you speak."

Wu Chengji nodded and continued what Wu Ziyan had said.

After listening, Qi Zexuan stroked his chin thoughtfully: "What benefits would this bring you? This sounds extremely risky. Cooperating with you is indeed very risky!"

"In our Wu Dynasty, there's a saying: 'Fortune and honor are found in danger.' It all depends on Your Highness Zeyun. Are you willing to seek this fortune and honor?"

"If you're not willing, it's not too late to back out now."

“We will proceed with the pilgrimage ceremony as scheduled, and those deals will be void.”

"Is this what you call forcing someone into a corner? When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it."

"Yes, yes, that's right, you could say that."

Wu Ziyan nodded. As long as they can communicate, that's fine. They don't want to end up in a mess.

"You wouldn't really poison me, would you?" He looked at Wu Ziyan, somewhat disbelieving of this woman.

Her eyes held too much cunning. What if he turned the tables on her and actually killed her?

"You said it yourself, this is a dangerous scheme that will do us no good."

"Then why would I go along with your plan and kill you?"

Wu Ziyan seemed to hear her thoughts and answered with these words.

"Just to be on the safe side, you still have to give me the antidote."

"Fine, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of dying."

Wu Ziyan simply threw the antidote at him, and said to her with a half-smile.

"Don't let your good brother get away again. We can't always be so lucky to catch him."

"know."

"Moreover, we need to see him at the banquet. Don't kill him on Wu Dynasty territory, or we can't take the blame."

“I don’t really have any feelings for my younger brother. Why don’t you take him back and supervise him?”

"Okay, leave it to me."

Before anyone else could speak, Chu Yu patted his chest and stepped forward to take on the responsibility.

Wu Chengji and the others expressed their doubts; she had indeed not gotten married.

I've never heard of him taking a fancy to any young man.

I've never heard of her frequenting brothels, so is it appropriate for a daughter like him to oversee houses in a neighboring country?

[Hmph! I'm so clever, now my brother's position is secure, isn't it?]

[If no one supervises, it will definitely fall on the Fourth Prince. With looks like that, wouldn't the Fourth Prince be tempted?]

"Third sister?"

"Little brother, is your older sister alright?"

Chu Qiu:?

Wu Ziyan understood Chu Yu's intentions, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

He even had to stand on tiptoe to pat Chu Yu's shoulder: "Sister Chu Yu, you'll really have to go through that."

"You must ensure that she shows no outward signs of injury and is able to speak and walk, at least until the day she arrives at the Chrysanthemum Garden."

"Oh, don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't go hungry, get cold, or die."

what?

At that moment, Qi Zexuan, who was in the room, felt a chill run down his spine.

It seemed like something bad was about to happen to him.

Sure enough, a short while later, we heard the sound of the door opening outside.
