Qin Zhen, who was originally held hostage by Xiao Jue obediently, couldn't help but look at Hongxue after hearing Hongxue's words.
After a while, she said with a faint smile: "Hongxue, Hongxue, you are really..."
I wish she would die soon.
When she said that, she was not just reminding Xiao Jue not to let her go easily, at least until she met Xiao Yao's people outside the city.
At that time, will she still have a chance to leave?
She shook her head and said, "You really love Xiao Yao."
Hongxue's eyes were very red and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at Qin Zhen. She only whispered: "I'm sorry."
Qin Zhen looked away and didn't look at Hongxue again.
The boat quickly docked, and Qin Zhen docked under the hostage of Xiao Jue.
Lou Yan stood a few meters away. Seeing this, he took a step forward uncontrollably.
"Stop!" Xiao Jue reflexively raised his hand to press the dagger on Qin Zhen's neck, and said coldly, "Back off, or don't blame my shaking hands for letting her see some blood."
"I'm retreating!" Lou Yan immediately took several steps back and said in a deep voice, "If you have anything to discuss, please don't hurt her."
Xiao Jue sneered, treating Lou Yan like a dog, and ordered: "This place is very close to the East City Gate. Have someone open the city gate and let us go."
Lou Yan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Father has a destiny. As long as you are willing to go back, for the sake of the relationship between father and son, he will not care about you. Don't be stubborn and go back."
Xiao Jue sneered: "Go back? After I go back, will my father still let me be the crown prince? His so-called father-son relationship is probably to imprison me and see the light of my life, right?"
Lou Yan gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Xiao Jue said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense and do as I say."
Lou Yan's eyes fell on Qin Zhen's face for a few seconds, then he turned and walked towards the east city gate: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
He led the way, Xiao Jue held Qin Zhen hostage and followed behind, followed by Hongxue.
This time she has been exposed and can no longer stay in the capital. She has to go to Shu with the prince. Hongxue has some expectations in her heart. She will be able to see Xiao Yao again soon.
Although she was exposed and didn't handle things well, she would definitely be punished, but it was already good to be able to stay by Xiao Yao's side.
Qin Zhen stared at Lou Yan's back in front of her without blinking.
Xiao Jue leaned next to her, looked at Lou Yan in front of him, and said with a half-smile, "Look at him, does he look like a dog?"
Qin Zhen's eyes suddenly turned cold and she said nothing.
Lou Yan in front of him seemed not to have heard anything, and his steps were undisturbed.
Xiao Jue continued: "You don't know, he used to be more obedient than this. He would do whatever I asked him to do."
Qin Zhen closed her eyes, wanting to slap Xiao Jue's mouth so that he could never speak again.
It's a pity that Xiao Jue's bitchy mouth just won't shut up.
"Is he always serious and kind in front of you?" Xiao Jue suddenly sneered and said, "I'm afraid you don't know how much innocent people's blood he has on his hands."
Lou Yan in front finally paused for a moment, and then quickly continued walking forward, but his back was stiffer than before.
Xiao Jue looked at it interestingly, staring at the back, and continued: "When he kills people, he kills people, and he doesn't even let the infants go. I once saw him press a baby down.
He drowned in a basin of water, and this prince didn't even frown."
"By the way, do you remember my uncle? Liu Changsong, the former Minister of War?"
"He, he was imprisoned in Dali Temple for months without confessing, and even your eldest brother was forced to do nothing. But guess what? He, Lou Yan, went to visit, and in just half an hour, Liu Changsong's bamboo tube collapsed
I recognized them all like beans."
"I was still thinking about what methods he used to prevent even my cunning uncle from being defeated. After many inquiries, I finally found out."
"He ordered people to burn a big fire, and threw Liu Changsong on the rack like a pig or sheep and roasted it. The jailer on duty that day said that the whole cell was filled with the smell of meat, which scared my uncle so much that he peed.
Pants, even rolling and crawling, I confessed."
After Xiao Jue finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Qin Zhen's expression and said in a low voice: "If you follow him, aren't you afraid that the next person to be roasted on the fire will be you?"
Qin Zhen's face turned pale and she looked like she was frightened.
Xiao Jue was very satisfied with her expression. This was the effect he wanted.
As everyone knows, Qin Zhen just thought of the scene of Liu Changsong being grilled, and she was simply disgusted.
Not long after the words fell, they had arrived at the east city gate.
Lou Yan always turned his back to them and ordered in a deep voice: "Open the city gate."
The east city gate that had been closed slowly opened in front of a few people.
Xiao Jue's eyes were bright, staring at the door that was opening, and the hand holding Qin Zhen was shaking with excitement.
Lou Yan finally turned around, looked back at Xiao Jue, and said, "I did everything as you said, can you return her to me?"
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Jue said coolly, "I haven't even left the house yet. Should I return her to you and ask you to seal me in the city immediately?"
Lou Yan was a little anxious: "What do you want?"
Xiao Jue: "Prepare two fast horses to take us out of the city."
Lou Yan took a deep breath and stood still.
Xiao Jue's expression darkened, and he raised his hand to press his wrist. Qin Zhen groaned, and saw a line of blood running down her neck.
Lou Yan's eyes turned red instantly.
"Xiao Jue!" Lou Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I told you not to hurt her. If you continue, I will never let you go."
Xiao Jue said coldly: "Isn't it you who made her hurt?"
"Lou Yan, don't you love her? Why, aren't you willing to do even this little thing for her? If you continue to hesitate, I may not have the patience to play with you. Anyway, I have nothing now, and I can still do it before I die.
If you drag Zhenzhen to accompany me, I won't lose anything."
Lou Yan closed his eyes, turned around and said sternly: "Go and prepare two fast horses."
A victorious smile appeared on Xiao Jue's face.
The horse was quickly prepared, and Lou Yan personally took the horse outside the city.
Hongxue climbed onto one horse first, while Xiao Jue hugged Qin Zhen and climbed onto the other horse.
Lou Yan was a few meters away from them and said in a cold voice: "Now that you have the horse and the people are out of the city, can you return her to me?"
Xiao Jue stared at Lou Yan for a while and suddenly said: "What should I do? I don't want to give it back to you now."
Lou Yan's face suddenly darkened: "Xiao Jue, don't go too far!"
Xiao Jue's eyes flashed with cruelty: "That's not what you called me before."
Lou Yan: "...Your Highness, can you return her to me?"
Xiao Jue suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, you kneel down and beg me!"
