Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1169: Are you the only one with the surname Liang allowed?

"By us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Shide didn't even have time to react to whether the word "we" included Pei Xingyuan who was right in front of him and Yuwen Ye who was far away, or him, Pei Xingyuan, and someone else, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind him.

Someone rushed behind him!

The warrior's instinct made Liang Shide turn around immediately and strike out with an elbow at the same time.

However, the pampered and superior life he had lived in over the years had made his reactions slow. Moreover, the gust of wind came so fast that even the guards guarding the altar on the highest level did not have time to react before a slender and agile figure had already rushed behind him.

"Do not move!"

When the low but crisp female voice sounded in his ears, a cold light suddenly appeared in front of Liang Shide's neck, and the sharp blade was against his throat. Liang Shide was about to turn his head to look, and the blade immediately left a bloody mark on his neck.

Upon hearing this voice, Liang Shide froze immediately.

At this moment, he could only barely see that the person holding him with a knife was a woman wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, so ordinary that even if she stood in front of him, he would not even look at her twice. Before he could see her face clearly, he just felt that she exuded a familiar aura.

At this moment, the woman lowered her head, exchanged glances with Pei Xingyuan in the crowd, and immediately whispered into Liang Shide's ear, "Your neck is not as hard as this knife."

Liang Shide was shocked and did not move.

Although he didn't dare to move, the guards on the altar all took action. Some of the quick-reacting ones immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the woman holding King Xia hostage, shouting, "There's an assassin!"

"Protect King Xia!"

"Quick, kill that woman!"

Some of these people ran fast, and some ran slow. The guards standing on the highest altar were naturally the fastest. But just when they were about to get close to the woman, the woman suddenly raised her other hand, and a black shadow suddenly jumped out from her narrow sleeves and pounced on the guards like a poisonous snake. Then a scream was heard, and the man running in the front fell to the ground.

"what--"

The scream startled the two people behind him and they subconsciously stopped walking, but the woman's hand did not stop. She turned her jade wrist slightly, and the black shadow slapped the two men in the face again. With two loud slaps, they were hit on the head and bled. They retreated one after another and finally fell off the altar.

Everyone was shocked and looked carefully, only then did they see that the woman was holding a long whip in her left hand.

She held a knife in one hand and a whip in the other, and she was able to move left and right without any hindrance. The sharp blade held Liang Shide hostage, and the long whip was as nimble as a snake, and she knocked down several guards in the blink of an eye.

This scene shocked countless people.

However, things were not that simple. Although she moved quickly, there were many guards surrounding the three-tier altar. She had just knocked down a few people in front, and the guards behind had surrounded her one after another. After all, she was the only one holding Liang Shide hostage, and she was a woman at that. Even if she moved quickly and had extraordinary skills, these people psychologically thought that she was not worth mentioning.

But just as they rushed forward, something unexpected happened!

Several of the guards had also drawn their swords and rushed forward with them, but at the moment when everyone rushed to the highest altar, they looked around, their eyes met as if they were certain of something, and suddenly turned against them at the same time, backhanding and hitting the people around them. For a moment, the people who rushed forward were caught off guard, and they only felt a flash of cold light in front of their eyes. In the blink of an eye, they were stabbed several times. Some fell to the ground and died without even a sound, while others fell down screaming while covering their wounds.

The people behind didn't know what was happening, they just felt the people in front suddenly started to move backwards, still shouting, "What's going on?"

The screams in front of them were already shocking: "Retreat!"

"You, what are you doing?!"

"There is a traitor!"

Seeing the chaos on the altar, the guards below the altar were also panicked, especially Wei Yu, who was terrified and pulled the guards around him in panic: "You, you guys go up and protect King Xia!"

When these people heard his words, they all drew their swords and stepped forward.

But just as they were about to charge forward, the same thing happened in their group. A group of guards suddenly appeared, drew their swords faster than them, turned around and pointed them at them. Two of them rushed directly in front of Wei Yu, and put two swords on his neck. Wei Yu was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees. But the person holding him grabbed him and said viciously, "Shut up!"

At the same time, the woman holding Liang Shide hostage also shouted: "Don't move, or I'll kill him!"

After saying this, she tightened her grip on the knife.

The sharp blade immediately cut another bloody mark on the neck. Although the wound was not deep, the slight stinging made Liang Shide terrified. He immediately raised his neck and shouted loudly: "No, don't move!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone around him stopped.

At this moment, the whole situation was forced to be temporarily settled. Liang Shide realized that Pei Xingyuan's loud and brazen behavior just now was just to attract his attention, including the attention of the guards around him. Because he was alone, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and they didn't notice that there was such a woman in the crowd who sneaked around behind the altar and suddenly attacked when his attention was also on Pei Xingyuan. Looking at the situation of these guards confronting each other, he also realized that some of his guards actually obeyed this woman, or in other words, obeyed Pei Xingyuan.

Before today, they had never revealed their true colors, but now they suddenly turned against him, catching him off guard.

They have infiltrated so deeply that they have even reached my side? !
How could Pei Xingyuan have such ability? !

I never even noticed it!
Feelings of shame, anger, frustration, helplessness, and even despair suddenly surged into his heart. He turned his head with all his might, wanting to take a look at the woman who was holding him hostage, but the other party seemed to be deliberately avoiding his gaze and pressed the knife against his neck. If Liang Shide moved, blood would immediately splatter on the spot. He could only stiffen his neck and look down at Pei Xingyuan under the altar with a cold gaze.

At this moment, seeing this scene happening on the high platform, although the officials and people below the altar were stunned by this sudden change, at the same time, they were also shocked by the heroic demeanor of this woman, and actually felt a bit of admiration in their hearts.

Especially Pei Xingyuan.

His eyes were curved, and although he was surrounded by swords and knives, he looked at the scene with joy, as if the dazzling glory was also reflected on himself, making him feel glorious.

He ran forward a few steps and walked to the altar: "Youying, good job!"

Seeing his excitement, Liang Youying curled the corners of her lips but couldn't laugh. After all, she only controlled Liang Shide, but he was here and Luoyang City was there, and the big issue had not been resolved yet. Moreover, once Liang Shide fell into despair and really wanted to fight to the death with them, she, Pei Xingyuan, and those guards who were originally from Wanggangzhai and were instigated by her to rebel would be like an egg hitting a rock.

She took a deep breath and lowered her voice, "Come up and release him!"

"Hey, hey!"

Following her words, Pei Xingyuan ran up to the altar in a few steps. The guards were all watching him eagerly, but they could not act rashly because of Liang Shide. They could only watch him run to the altar, push away the executioner, pull Guan Ao up from the ground, and loosen the ropes on him.

Guan Ao looked at him, still a little bit incredulous until this moment: "Pei, Master Pei?"

Pei Xingyuan smiled at him: "It's me, it's me."

As he spoke, he untied Guan Chiying and several other people. Guan Ao still looked at him blankly, as if he still couldn't believe what was happening in front of him: "You, why are you here?"

Pei Xingyuan said: "I was driven out of Chang'an. Liang Youying and I are here to save you."

Originally, after hearing the woman's subconsciously lowered voice several times behind him, Liang Shide seemed a little dazed. When the name "Liang Youying" came out of Pei Xingyuan's mouth again, Liang Shide, who was held against his neck by a dagger and dared not even breathe, finally seemed to remember something. This time he turned his head abruptly, and the blade against his neck almost cut his throat. Fortunately, Liang Youying was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and hurriedly moved the knife away to avoid blood splattering on the spot.

At the same time, she met Liang Shide's red eyes.

When their eyes met, there seemed to be some unspeakable emotions surging in silence.

Liang Shide opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Liang? You are——"

"..."

Liang Youying didn't say anything, but after he murmured, the murderous look between her brows gradually faded, and she even turned her eyes away, as if she didn't want to look at him.

When Pei Xingyuan heard Liang Shide's voice, he turned around and looked at him: "Yes, she is Liang Youying."

After saying that, he deliberately asked, "Only your surname Liang is allowed?"

"..."

Liang Shide did not speak, as if his throat was blocked by something - in fact, his throat was indeed blocked by the blade that was pressed against him again. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he had thousands of words to say, but after struggling for a long time, he only managed to say one sentence: "Chong'er, you, are still alive..."

"..."

Liang Youying did not answer him, but Pei Xingyuan continued: "Of course she is alive and well. If no one implicates her, she and her mother can live even better."

Liang Youying finally seemed to be unable to bear it any longer: "Xingyuan, please stop talking."

Pei Xingyuan looked at her deeply, then rolled his eyes at Liang Shide: "Humph."

This sudden change made Guanao and the others feel even more at a loss, as if too many people and things had flooded onto the altar in an instant, and even toward all of them, making them feel a little overwhelmed.

Guan Ao said: "What are you doing——"
