Chapter 48: Deception (Seeking follow-up reading)
The road is long and strides forward.
Zhao Zheng saw that the other party was holding a gun and was less than fifty steps away from him.
He immediately picked up the long knife on the ground, grabbed it, and held it on Xia Qingyu's neck, saying sternly:
"Lu Yuan!! If you come any closer, I will kill her!!"
Zhao Zheng didn't know if Lu Yuan was the kind of person who could remain indifferent even if he saw a beautiful woman's blood splattered just five steps away.
But he couldn't help it.
He can only gamble!
Bet the other party is not a cold-blooded person!
I couldn't bear to see such a stunning beauty die in front of me and let him go!
Even though he knew, the possibility was very slim.
But he doesn't want to die!
This is the only bargaining chip he has!
He wants to change his life!
Lu Yuan snorted disdainfully and continued to approach quickly.
Today, no one can let Zhao Zheng live!
"Lu Yuan!! You really don't care about her life or death! I'm going to be ruthless!!"
In his eyes, this road was as long as that of a peerless ferocious beast. Now, he had stepped into the danger zone. If the other party came a few steps closer, he would be killed.
The fear in his heart made Zhao Zheng hysterical. He roared loudly, and the knife in his hand cut a bloody mark on Xia Qingyu's snow-white neck.
Xia Qingyu felt the pain in her neck, but she also knew that it was useless to do anything at this moment. If she cried out in pain, people would only look down on her, so she gritted her teeth stubbornly and said nothing.
And Zhao Zheng was even more nervous than Xia Qingyue who was cut.
His hands were shaking, afraid that he would accidentally cut the woman's neck.
If this woman died, his only bargaining chip would be gone.
At that time, there will be only one way out, which is death!
He hid behind the woman and stared at Lu Yuan.
When a tiny trace of blood appeared from the white neck.
The road was long, so he actually stopped.
Zhao Zheng's frightened pale face instantly turned into joy, and he was so excited that blood rushed from his neck to his face. His whole face quickly turned from white to red, and he laughed loudly:
"Brother Lu!! You are indeed a man who cherishes women!!
Don't worry, as long as you let me live, I will definitely give this stunning beauty to you, and I will never break my promise!!
This is a rare beauty! Lord Lu, you are so blessed! ! "
Zhao Zheng felt that he had a chance to survive, and he kept on sending out promises and flattery without asking for anything in return.
At this point, even he himself didn't know what he was promising, or what to do after making the promise.
He had a narrow escape from death and had no time to think about it.
He only knew that his life and death depended on the other party's thoughts.
I must make the other party give up the idea of killing me!!
The road was long at this time, so I stood there and did not move forward.
His gaze finally shifted to Xia Qingyu, who was biting her lip and looking at him without saying a word.
Lu Yuan looked at Xia Qingyu.
Xia Qingyu also looked at him.
She wanted to know why the other party did this.
Doesn’t the other party hate this bandit leader to the core?
Don’t you dream about killing each other?
Why give up so easily?
Could it be?
Is it really because of me?
But I don't know him.
Could it be because of her appearance? Even at this critical moment, Xia Qingyu's face was slightly flushed.
Of course she knew that she was not bad looking.
As long as the young men, princes and nobles in Qianzhou had seen his face, they would come to his house almost every day to greet his father, or even propose marriage to him or for their sons.
But at that time, she was only less than fifteen years old and was quite resistant to this matter.
Besides, my father never forced me, saying that he wanted his daughter to stay at home and spend more time with his family, so I declined one by one.
After she came to Lianhua County with her father, she hardly ever left the house.
I'm afraid I'll meet that man again, and if he comes home again, it will cause more trouble.
She is naturally confident about her appearance.
However, if the other party really wanted to agree to the bandit leader's request, he should have agreed to it long ago when the bandit leader begged for mercy.
Why wait until now?
She looked at Lu Yuan and saw him smiling warmly at her. He then pointed to the bodies of his father and the three guard uncles lying on the ground not far away and said:
"Who are this old man and these three people to you? Are they your relatives?
Is it the father? Or the uncle? ".
At this moment, Xia Qingyu saw the wounded bodies of her father and three uncles, bit her lip, and was about to answer.
But Lu Yuan had already said:
“They died so tragically!
Look, his body is covered with wounds! Gunshot wounds, knife wounds, his face was chopped up.
And that old man, is he your father? He died next to Zhao Zheng's horse. Could it be that your old father was hacked to death by Zhao Zheng? ?
There’s a huge scar on his neck! He must have been in a lot of pain at that time!”
Xia Qingyu thought of her father, who, in order to save her, disregarded his own safety and hugged the horse's legs, was trampled by the horse, and then was brutally killed by the bandit leader. Thinking of her father's always kind smile, and thinking that she would no longer have a father in the future, she couldn't help but feel sad, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Do you want to avenge your father? If so, I can help you."
Lu Yuan spoke to Xia Qingyu with a warm face, his tone as if he was coaxing a little girl to eat a lollipop.
Zhao Zheng, who was standing next to him, heard this and his face changed. He shouted:
"Brother Lu, what exactly do you want to say?"
He felt that what the other party said was increasingly wrong, so he put the blade closer to Xia Qingyu's snow-white neck and said:
"Brother Lu, are you really not afraid that I will destroy you?"
Lu Yuan ignored Zhao Zheng's shouting and continued to keep a warm face. At the same time, he raised the fine iron spear in his hand, pointed it at Zhao Zheng who was hiding behind Xia Qingyu, made a throwing gesture, and said softly:
"Beauty, if you want revenge, just bite Zhao Zheng's hand hard.
Or I could use both hands to tightly grasp the opponent's arms. If I could stop him for a short while, I would be able to pierce him with my spear and kill him.
In this way, you can also avenge your father. "
When Zhao Zheng heard this, he felt cold all over.
The road is long and the heart is so cold that not only does he disregard the woman's life, he even wants to use this woman to restrain him and kill him!
He was a little flustered for a moment and brought the knife closer to Xia Qingyu's neck, cutting another bloody mark on the snow-white neck.
At the same time, he completely blocked Xia Qingyu in front of him and said sternly:
"Lu Yuan, you actually want to play these tricks! Do you really think I'm stupid? You want to save this woman, so you use this method to deceive me? Do you think I will be fooled?
If you are really so cruel, do it now and I will tell you!
Even if I die, this woman must not live!"
At this time, Zhao Zheng shrank his whole body and completely disappeared behind Xia Qingyu.
If the other party really shot out that spear, the first person to die would definitely be this woman! !
