He Xi's face changed, and finally turned strangely pale.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the bandit headed by him set his eyes on Xue Bolian and Xiao Zhuyu, he looked at Xue Bolian unscrupulously for a while before bowing slightly and introducing himself with a smile: "Lord Xue, it's better to see than to hear, I'm the bandit leader you are looking for, Yang Chenggui." ”

Xue Bolian squinted his eyes, said that Xiao Zhuyu pulled behind him, and said lightly: "You are more courageous than I imagined." ”

"yes, that's what I think." Yang Chenggui didn't care about the ridicule in Xue Bolian's words at all, on the contrary, he was a little proud.

Xue Bolian's expression was faint, but his other hand was about to make a gesture quietly, this subtle movement was seen through by the sharp-eyed Yang Chenggui at a glance, he squinted his eyes and his voice suddenly cooled down: "Lord Xue, if I were you, I wouldn't give random orders now, otherwise we will have to see if your people are killing us quickly, or if my people are piercing the young lady's head with an arrow." ”

When he said this, Yin Owl's eyes swept over Xiao Zhuyu's face, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a strange smile.

This smile made Xiao Zhuyu's heart chill, and he subconsciously grabbed Xue Bolian's hand.

Feeling the tension of the woman behind him, Xue Bolian stopped the movement in his hand, took the woman's hand and tightened it to signal that he didn't need to be nervous.

Feeling comforted, Xiao Zhuyu calmed down slightly, but still hid behind Xue Bolian, alerting to the surrounding situation.

She knew her abilities very well, in this situation she was just a drag bottle, and anyone here was stronger than her, so in order to minimize the impact on Xue Bolian's judgment and actions, she could only try her best to reduce her existence.

"It seems that the news is really good, Lord Xue loves your wife very much." Yang Chenggui saw that his threat had worked, and immediately laughed.

Xue Bolian pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Now cooperate now, and I want your wife to leave your people and come to me." Yang Chenggui said lightly.

Xue Bolian's eyes sank when he heard this, and his blade-like gaze stared at Yang Chenggui coldly, and he quickly and firmly rejected his request.

"Impossible."

Yang Chenggui raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and then he understood and laughed again: "Then Lord Xue, you want to come to us as a hostage in person?" ”

"What exactly do you want to do?" Xue Bolian couldn't bear it.

"Of course we want to live." Yang Chenggui said as a matter of course.

"Half a year's food for the southern army is not enough for you to live?" Xue Bolian sneered coldly.

"Of course it's enough, it's just that the imperial court obviously doesn't want me to live, otherwise Lord Xue wouldn't have appeared in Nanyue City, right?" Yang Chenggui said coldly.

"I just brought my wife to Nanyue City to participate in the Flower God Festival, you are mistaken." Xue Bolian said calmly and coldly.

Yang Chenggui was stunned, he showed a suspicious expression, obviously not believing Xue Bolian's words, he smiled silently and shrugged his shoulders and said: "Regardless of Lord Xue, whether you are bringing your wife to play or not, I already know your identity, and you already know me, then I must not let you go, please let you and your wife be my hostages." To be honest, I still wish your lady came over so that I don't have to make too much effort. ”

"Impossible." Xue Bolian still refused without hesitation, "I'll take you hostage." ”

Yang Chenggui pursed his lips, although he was not very satisfied with the result, he still nodded: "That's okay, I hope someone can go back and report to the emperor, so that he doesn't send someone to encircle and suppress us, otherwise I can't guarantee the safety of Lord Xue's life." ”

Xue Bolian finally understood what he meant.

This is a typical example of taking money and worrying about losing your life.

It's just that he thinks that this person had a murderous intention against them at the beginning, and now he is using them as a handle to threaten the emperor, this purpose is inevitably a little quick, and he doesn't understand why.

"Don't go...... Xiao Zhuyu was very worried, when he nodded and let go of his hand to step forward, she grabbed him suddenly, there was a thick worry and nervousness in her eyes, and some suppressed fear could be faintly seen.

Xue Bolian suddenly calmed down, he smiled, his eyes gently reached out and touched his head, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Yu'er, don't be afraid, believe me." ”

Xiao Zhuyu wanted to say that I didn't believe it, but when she saw Xue Bolian's gaze, she couldn't speak, and looked at him with red eyes.

Xue Bolian let go of her hand, his expression immediately turned cold, and he turned his head to Yang Chenggui and said, "I'll be a hostage for you, you let them go." ”

"Of course Mrs. Xue and Lord Xue can go, but this He Xi is my person, and you can't care if he goes or stays with Lord Xue!" Yang Chenggui is still quite easy to speak, but when he saw He Xi, he smiled cruelly.

Xiao Zhuyu chuckled in her heart, a little worried, this He Xi wanted to save her after all. If you follow Yang Chenggui back, you don't even have to think about it to know that the consequences of a betrayer will definitely not be much better.

But Xiao Zhuyu also knows very well that now she and Xue Bolian are controlled by others, and it is impossible to save people.

"Then let them go first." Xue Bolian walked in front of Yang Chenggui and said coldly.

Yang Chenggui took out a bottle from his arms and shook it: "Something that suppresses the internal force in your body, drink it, Lord Xue." ”

Xue Bolian had expected this, but when he took it, it was obvious that he saw Yang Chenggui's eyes looking behind him, revealing a warning gaze.

What could have left him with that expression?

Xue Bolian could only think of He Xi, who was originally a bandit, and listening to Yang Chenggui's previous words, this He Xi's status among the bandits was not low, so he was likely to have seen this medicine.

What was he doing just now to be warned by Yang Chenggui?

Could it be that there is something wrong with this bottle of medicine?

Xue Bolian quickly thought of this, and he looked up at Yang Chenggui, who obviously didn't mean to explain more.

He has no fear, he is not worried about Xue Bolian drinking at all, after all, Xiao Zhuyu is behind, even if he is not afraid of them, he will not worry about his wife, Xiao Zhuyu will not know anything!

"Don't drink!" At this moment, Xiao Zhuyu suddenly screamed and shouted.

This sound broke the coagulated atmosphere around him, Xue Bolian's face turned cold, and he instantly crushed the medicine bottle, and the potion flowed out of his fingertips, mixed with a little blood, and was caught off guard by him and stuck on Yang Chenggui's face.

"Ahh Yang Chenggui didn't expect things to develop like this, and subconsciously screamed in pain.

The people around were panicked for a moment, and Xue Bolian's people protected Xiao Zhuyu behind him at the first time, blocking all the open guns and hidden arrows in front.
