Chapter 365 We have no interest in torturing prisoners

"Then just wait a little longer, they're going to take someone away."

Tao Xi picked up a glass of juice and took a sip, then sat there casually waiting for someone.

She was not in a hurry, which surprised the second prince. He took a big gulp of a bowl of wine and asked:

"County Lord, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?"

"This is my territory."

Tao Xi played with the juice cup in front of her with her fingertips, "If the second prince wants to play tricks, he will just have another prisoner."

Her understated yet confident words made the second prince's hand holding the wine glass pause slightly, and he looked serious.

"The county leader seems a little overconfident."

"Yeah?"

Tao Xi smiled lightly, and Qing Zhi on the side sighed secretly, it was indeed a master's fight, the swords and swords were all shining in the light.

The corners of Tao Xi's lips slightly raised, "If it weren't for this self-confidence, the fifth prince would not have become a prisoner. Are you right? The second prince."

Her almost provocative words made the second prince almost crush the wine glass in his hand. He gritted his teeth and said:

"That's stupid!"

"I'm afraid the fifth prince will be sad when he hears this, right?"

Tao Xi raised her eyebrows and looked out along her line of sight. The second prince saw the fifth prince standing at the door with a pale face.

Jian Shiming and Gu Yan stood beside the fifth prince, obviously not giving him any chance to escape.

"It turns out that in my second brother's heart, I am a fool."

The second prince sneered mockingly. He seemed much older after not seeing him for a while.

During this period of time, he had been thinking about the fact that his father had given up on him, and instead tortured himself to the point where he looked like a human being or a ghost.

"Fifth brother!"

The second prince stood up suddenly and pretended to approach him, "Why are you so haggard? Did they torture you?"

After saying that, he glared at Tao Xi angrily, "Although my fifth brother is a prisoner, he is also the prince of Xuanyao Kingdom. Is this going too far?"

"We have no interest in torturing prisoners."

Tao Xi also put down the juice cup in his hand, stood up and walked towards Jian Shiming, who also walked towards the fifth prince.

The second prince had sorrow in his eyes, "Fifth brother, I'm sorry, we're late."

"Second brother."

The fifth prince did not look at him. He had complicated emotions in his heart, but there was also a trace of true feelings in his eyes.

Although he came a little late, at least his father and the others did not give up on him.

But in the next second, the fifth prince's eyes suddenly widened, and it turned out that the dagger in the second prince's hand was stabbing him.

Gu Yan, who had expected it, directly grabbed the second prince's wrist, and the two soon started fighting. The people Tao Xi had arranged for him also stepped forward to subdue the second prince.

The people brought by the second prince also stepped forward to help, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

Tao Xi and Jian Shiming stood in front of the fifth prince, who had a pale face.

"Do you think it would be a good thing for Xuanyaoguo if you died here?"

Tao Xi's heart-wrenching words made the fifth prince feel sad. He clenched his fists and said, "The county master invited me here just to watch such a show, right?"

"It seems you are not stupid either."

Jian Shiming sneered, making the fifth prince's face look even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth.

"Let's get to the point."

"We will send you out of Dafeng safely, and the ransom will not be small."

Tao Xi told the purpose. If the fifth prince died in Dafeng, it would undoubtedly give Xuanyao a reason to go to war.

At that time, Taoxi will really have nothing to draw water from the bamboo basket.

But... things are different when the fifth prince is alive. Now that he knows the intentions of the second prince, the two parties will definitely fight after he returns.

Tao Xi and the others not only received the ransom, but also lost the pressure of the barbarian invasion, thus achieving two goals with one stone.

"Is it that simple?"

The fifth prince didn't believe it. He always thought that Tao Xi had other purposes, because the ransom was nothing compared with his life.

Tao Xi rolled his eyes angrily, "Except for this, what else can you afford now?"

Fifth Prince:......

Tao Xi poked his painful foot again, and he was so angry that his heart ached. Could this woman be any worse?

"Okay, I promise you."

The fifth prince gritted his teeth and agreed. This was the best choice for him. If he died in Dafeng, wouldn't it make his father and second brother happy?

The two of them had just reached an agreement, and Gu Yan had already captured him. The second prince underestimated Tao Xi and Gu Yan, and now his face was ashen.

"You are really my good second brother."

The fifth prince mocked, stopped looking at him, and found a place to sit down.

The second prince smiled coquettishly, "I was just joking with my fifth brother. County Lord, please don't take it to heart."

"Of course I won't take it to heart."

Tao Xi waved his hand, and the people below opened the boxes brought by the second prince one by one. Fortunately, he did not dare to play tricks on this point.

After all, Tao Xi wouldn't let him in without the money.

"Take it away."

Qing Zhi immediately ordered people to carry away the silver. Seeing the piles of gold and silver being carried away, the second prince frowned in distress.

"No……"

"The second prince won't go back on his word, right? I've brought everyone here."

Tao Xi's half-smiling words made the second prince freeze, and he had no choice but to admit defeat, but he had no intention of taking the gold back.

My father means that if I can't take it back, I will let the fifth brother die in Dafeng. He must not be allowed to return to Xuanyao Kingdom to discredit him!

Even if he can't make a move now, he will definitely not give up.

"Nothing."

Tao Xi was very satisfied with his denial. The two of them had dinner with them. Before leaving, Jian Shiming said something.

"My wife has arranged a place for you to stay, and it will be attended by dedicated people. You can leave Yun County tomorrow."

He was separated by a dedicated person, so as not to give the second prince a chance to make a move. He was very angry, but the fifth prince was quite happy.

At least he knew there would be no danger today, but it would be hard to tell if he left Yun County.

The two of them were taken away separately. Gu Yan sneered, "Brothers are killing each other for that position. They might as well be ordinary people."

"Isn't it the same for us in Dafeng?"

Tao Xi knew that in ancient times, it was always the case for nine sons to win over the legitimate sons, so she always adhered to the principle of being wise and protecting herself.

Gu Yan was choked and twitched speechlessly, "Sister-in-law is right, tonight is destined to be unsafe, I'd better go and guard it."

"good."

Tao Xi did not object. She and Jian Shiming returned to the county chief's mansion happily. They had a good rest.

But when she saw Gu Yan the next day, Jian Shiming still couldn't help complaining, "The circles under your eyes are all black."

"It wasn't because of Dafeng that the unlucky fifth prince was assassinated again."

Gu Yan only felt a headache. If he hadn't been thinking about the stuttering of the County Lord's Mansion, he wouldn't have bothered so much.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Gu."

Jian Shiming expressed his understanding and let Qingzhi eat Gu Yan's favorite food. Qingzhi and Tao Xi learned a few tricks.

When he was not on the island, he would personally cook delicious food for them, and Gu Yan was also thinking about the food she cooked.
