"Royal brother, you actually bumped into me!" Qin Zhi's tone was full of disbelief.

Qin Zhi walked towards Qin Su step by step, bent down and put his face in front of him: "Brother, you pushed me!"

Qin Zhi put his hands on Qin Su's shoulders and shook him vigorously: "Why, my brother, why did you push me?"

Xie Jin looked at the dying girl on the platform with an uncertain expression and said in a hoarse voice, "Shu'er!"

"Shu'er!" The voice suddenly became louder.

There was deathly silence. After a long moment, Zhao Shu's eyelashes trembled slightly. Although they were far away, Xie Jin still saw it clearly. He instantly lost all his strength, and his hands hanging at his sides trembled slightly.

Qin Su looked at the person in front of him without saying a word. Qin Zhi shook him, but after shaking him for a while, he lost interest. He then picked up the wooden stick on the ground and came to Zhao Shu's side again.

The wooden stick was poked on Zhao Shu's head. Qin Zhi looked at Xie Jin with a smile, "Master Xie, are you sure you don't want to order the arrows to be shot? This little beauty won't be able to hold out for much longer."

Seeing that Xie Jin didn't say anything, Qin Zhi sighed helplessly and swung the wooden stick in his hand towards Zhao Shu's other intact leg: "Shoot or not! Shoot or not!"

He hit Zhao Shu with one stick after another, and also forced Xie Jin with one stick after another.

Xie Jin's hands hanging at his sides were shaking slightly. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after looking at Qin Su beside him, he became speechless.

Zhao Shu opened her eyes dazedly and looked at the person who had been following her since she was a child.

Zhao Shu couldn't see Xie Jin's expression clearly, she only knew that he was standing motionless in the distance, like a Buddha statue.

Sweat dripped down her forehead, blurring Zhao Shu's eyes. She was so sleepy.
Lin Shuo couldn't help but look at Zhao Yao on the side, marveling in his heart. If the girl on the platform was his daughter, he would have lost his mind by now. He would protect her safety even if it cost him his life. Unfortunately, the girl on the platform was not his daughter.

I don't know whether to say that Zhao Yao can endure it or something else. But it's fine this way. To him, the life of His Majesty is much more important than the life of Zhao Yao's daughter.

Xie Jin clenched his right fist, turned around quickly and walked towards the archer, snatched the bow and arrow from the archer's hand, drew the arrow, pulled the bow, and all in one go, the arrow flew out into the air. Qin Zhi heard the noise, excitedly stopped what he was doing, and looked expectantly at the arrow shot towards him.

Lin Shuo shouted: "Xie Jin, what are you doing!"

Seeing this, Ouyang Yong swiftly placed Qin Su in front of Qin Zhi. Arrows came pouring in and finally hit the pillar next to Qin Zhi as everyone held their breath.

Qin Zhi pushed Qin Su in front of him away, and leaned towards the arrow stuck in the pillar. He looked at it and said with regret: "Almost, almost."

After Qin Zhi finished expressing his regret, he came to Qin Su and said, "Brother Emperor, it seems that those people under you really care about you. They can even abandon their own daughter and the girl they have brought up with them since childhood for you."

Qin Zhi looked at Qin Su in confusion: "Should we say they are loyal or cold-blooded?"

Qin Zhi didn't wait for his answer and squatted down next to Zhao Shu again: "My little beauty, I gave them a chance, but they didn't want it. You can't blame me."

After saying that, Qin Zhi suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Zhao Shu's wrist fiercely. Zhao Shu, whose consciousness was already blurred, screamed loudly.

Qin Zhi listened to the cries of pain and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

The louder the person under him screamed, the greater the strength Qin Zhi used.

The veins on the back of Xie Jin's hands were bulging. He looked at the man next to Qin Zhi with patience, and the man nodded at him imperceptibly.

Xie Jin held the bow and arrow and quickly shot the second arrow of the day.

Everyone was caught off guard by his arrow. Looking at the arrow getting closer and closer, Ouyang Yong had no time to react and could only throw himself on Qin Zhi to help him avoid the fatal blow.

The arrow shot onto the ground, and with a "clang" sound, a crack appeared on the ground!
Qin Zhi looked at the arrow at his feet in shock, but before he could react, Xie Jingrong gave an order: "Shoot!" More arrows flew towards him.

The people on Qin Zhi's side fell one after another. Ouyang Yong helped Qin Zhi to go behind the pillar. In the chaos, three soldiers rushed up from the stage, helped Zhao Shu and Qin Su up and were about to walk down the stage.

Qin Zhi suddenly pulled out the sharp arrow from the pillar, ignoring the rain of arrows rushing towards him, ran towards Zhao Shu, and stabbed the soldiers beside her with force.

The soldier was startled, and then fell headfirst down the stairs.

Qin Zhi grabbed the half-conscious Zhao Shu and tried to pull her behind a pillar.

"clang" Ouyang Yong knocked down the arrow that was shot at Qin Zhi's back, and helped him drag Zhao Shu behind the pillar.

Qin Su was escorted by two soldiers to the bottom of the platform. When he was rushing towards the safe area, two fast figures flashed past him.

Qin Su quickly grabbed one of the figures and asked hurriedly, "Jin'er, what are you doing!"

Xie Jin was pulled, his eyes turned cold, and when he saw who was pulling him, his eyes recovered, but his face was still ugly: "Your Majesty, I'm going to catch the traitor!"

Qin Su's hands were unyielding, and he said persistently: "You don't have to go, just stay here and wait!"

Xie Jin subconsciously looked in the direction of the platform, and saw Zhao Shu being dragged towards the Golden Throne Hall by Ouyang Yong and others. His eyes became stern, and he no longer cared about hierarchy. He shook Qin Su's hand away and ran to the platform.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Lin Shuo, who was rushing over here, happened to see this scene. He looked at the figure of the young man and angrily shouted, "This Xie Jin is too outrageous!"

Qin Su glanced at him calmly and said, "Let's go."

Lin Shuo was a sensible man. He stopped talking immediately, bent down and led Qin Su to a safe area.

Xie Jin chased into the hall and saw Zhao Yao looking at the direction of the dragon throne with an unpleasant face. He raised his eyes and followed Zhao Yao's line of sight, and was slightly stunned. Why is Zhao Xueying here? Isn't she with Li Yanrong and the others?

Zhao Yao said angrily, "Traitor, release my daughter, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Qin Zhi looked at Zhao Yao and laughed: "Which daughter are you talking about, Lord?"

"Is it this?" Qin Zhi grabbed Zhao Xueying's hair and put the dagger against Zhao Shu's neck: "Or this?"

Zhao Yao looked at him with a sullen expression. Xie Jin walked over and said, "I want both!"

Qin Zhi laughed out loud: "Xie Shengzi, your appetite is a bit too big."

Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu who was unconscious, then looked at Zhao Xueying who was looking at them with tears in her eyes, and said coldly: "What requests do you have? You can make them?"

Qin Zhi seemed to think about it seriously, and finally his eyes lit up. He looked at Xie Jin and the others happily and said, "I do have a request. How about this? You prepare a carriage for me and let me leave the city. After leaving the city, I will naturally return these two little beauties."

Zhao Yao looked at him with an unpleasant expression and said nothing. At this time, a cold voice came from outside the hall: "Go prepare a car for him."

"Your Majesty!" Lin Shuo exclaimed, "Your Majesty, if we let this traitor out of the city, I'm afraid it will cause disaster!"

Qin Su said sternly: "Go quickly!"
Looking at the obviously angry emperor, Lin Shuo glanced at Qin Zhi sitting on the dragon throne, and finally reluctantly asked the soldiers to prepare the carriage.

Soon the soldier who was preparing the carriage came to Qin Su and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready."

Qin Su looked at Qin Zhi and said, "The carriage is ready."

Qin Zhi smiled and said, "It's pretty fast."

Qin Zhi handed Zhao Xueying to Ouyang Yong, and then held Zhao Shu at arm's length with a dagger as he walked out, saying, "My hand has been acting out of control lately. Don't scare me, or it will become more likely to become out of control. It would be bad if I accidentally kill this little beauty."

Qin Su glanced at Xie Jin, who looked unhappy, and said to the soldiers outside the hall: "Get out of the way!"

The soldiers blocking outside the hall heard the emperor's order and subconsciously looked at Lin Shuo standing aside. Lin Shuo nodded slightly to them, and then the soldiers stood to both sides in unison.

Qin Zhi faced Xie Jin and the others, got on the carriage with his back to it, then put his hands under Zhao Shu's arms and dragged her into the carriage.

Ouyang Yong followed closely behind with Zhao Xueying in his arms.

Qin Zhi, Zhao Shu and others were sitting in the car while Ouyang Yong drove towards the palace gate. Upon seeing this, the army moved aside.

Zhao Shu lay down on the carriage like a dead person. Qin Zhi looked at Zhao Xueying who was sitting next to him and smiled: "Miss Zhao, are you afraid?"

Zhao Xueying's eyes flashed, and she nodded with tears in her eyes: "Afraid!"

Hearing this answer, Qin Zhi withdrew his gaze with satisfaction: "It's right to be afraid."

Most of the army stayed in the imperial city with Xie Jingjingrong to protect Qin Su, while another part of the army followed Xie Jin and Zhao Yao to chase Qin Zhi and the others.

Xie Jin rode on his horse and followed the carriage in front of him closely. Looking at the carriage that was heading deeper into the woods, he frowned.

The carriage in front gradually slowed down and finally stopped at the edge of the cliff.

Xie Jin looked at the carriage in front with a bad expression. After a long time, the carriage, which had been motionless, moved slightly. The curtain was opened from the inside, and Ouyang Yong pulled Zhao Xueying out of the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhi also dragged Zhao Shu out of the carriage.

When Xie Jin saw the hemp rope in Qin Zhi's hand, her eyes turned cold and she stared at the hemp rope in his hand.

Qin Zhi noticed his gaze, smiled and raised the hemp rope in his hand: "Prince Xie, are you wondering what this is used for? Don't worry, you will know soon."

Just as Qin Zhi said, Xie Jin indeed quickly found out what the hemp rope was used for.

Ouyang Yong hung a hemp rope on a branch on the edge of the cliff. Zhao Xueying's hands were tied up and hung on the hemp rope, with her whole body suspended above the cliff.

After Ouyang Yong hung up Zhao Xueying, he took Zhao Shu from Qin Zhi.

Xie Jin looked at this scene and said in a deep voice: "The carriage has been given to you, what else do you want?"
