Qin Zhi smiled innocently: "I don't want to do anything. I just want to play a little game with Marquis Xuanping and you, the prince. Why are you so nervous, Prince Xie?"

Looking at his two daughters hanging from the tree, Zhao Yao shouted in shock and anger: "Qin Zhi, how dare you!"

Hearing this, the smile on Qin Zhi's face did not change, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Ouyang Yong stood under the tree and pulled the two hemp ropes in his hands with force. As long as he loosened his hands slightly, the person hanging on the tree would fall into the abyss.

Qin Zhi came to Ouyang Yong's side, looked at the two delicate girls on the tree, shook his head, and said, "No matter which of these two little beauties is hurt, I feel bad."

Zhao Yao looked at his hypocritical appearance, pointed at him and shouted angrily: "Mad man! You mad man!"

Qin Zhi was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Ouyang Yong and asked: "General Ouyang, am I crazy?"

Ouyang Yong looked at him seriously and said word by word: "No, you are not."

Xie Jin said in a deep voice: "Second Prince, do you think this will work? Swap one of the two girls with me, and let me hang on the tree instead?"

Qin Zhi thought about his words seriously, and then suddenly realized: "Xie Shizi, do you think I am a fool?"

Xie Jin stared at him steadily. Qin Zhi looked at him and laughed: "Since I don't look like a fool, why do you think I would do something that only a fool would do!"

Xie Jin was only a boy of about fifteen years old. He had been accompanying Qin Zhi for so long that his patience had already run out. He looked at Zhao who was hanging on the tree.
Shu said irritably: "Then what do you want?!"

"What exactly do you want?" Xie Jin's tone became heavier.

Xie Jin's temper seemed to please him: "One is a little girl who has been following you since childhood, and the other is a jewel in the palm of the hand of Marquis Xuanping. How about this, you and Marquis Xuanping, discuss which one to save."

"Is it this?" Qin Zhi poked Zhao Shu, who was covered in blood, and then poked Zhao Xueying, who was full of fear: "Or this?"

After he finished speaking, Ouyang Yong's hands suddenly loosened, and Zhao Shu and Zhao Xueying immediately fell off the cliff. At the critical moment, Ouyang Yong pulled the two ropes hard.

Zhao Yao gasped. Qin Zhi looked at them and smiled, "You have to choose quickly. General Ouyang and I have been exhausted from all the journey. If you don't hurry up, the two beauties will fall down, and it won't be our fault."

Time seemed to stand still. Zhao Yao first looked at Zhao Shu, who was covered in blood, and then looked at Zhao Xueying, who was looking at him with tears in her eyes. There was a trace of struggle in his eyes, and finally he closed his eyes tightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Xueying, I choose Xueying."

Xie Jin said in a cold tone: "Uncle!"

Qin Zhi pointed his finger at Zhao Xueying and said, "My Lord, are you sure this is it? Do you regret it?"

Zhao Yao shook his head with red eyes: "No regrets"

With a "swish" sound, a dagger with a cold glow flew through the air. Before anyone could see clearly, Xie Jin quickly chased after the dagger. When the dagger was about to pierce Qin Zhi's eyes, he grabbed the dagger and pressed it against Qin Zhi's neck.

Xie Jin lost his initial forbearance and shouted angrily: "Fuck him! Release both of them!"

Ouyang Yong was shocked and loosened his hand, and was about to come towards Qin Zhi.

Xie Jin stabbed Qin Zhi's neck with the dagger in his hand. Soon his neck turned red and blood flowed down his neck.

Xie Jin looked at Ouyang Yong and said sternly: "Just let go if you dare!"

Ouyang Yong paused, glanced at Qin Zhi, whose expression remained unchanged, and then wrapped the rope in his hand around his palm twice.

Xie Jin wanted to kill the man in front of him, but he still suppressed the thought and said patiently: "Let him go!"

Qin Zhi tilted his head slightly towards Xie Jin and said, "Master Xie, this is unfair. One person for two people, it's really not worth it for us."

Xie Jin's eyes were filled with annoyance. He didn't intend to waste any more time talking to him. He said word by word, "I'll say it again, let him go!"

After saying that, the dagger penetrated into Qin Zhi's neck another half an inch, and the blood flowed more and more. Qin Zhi wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Ouyang Yong who spoke hurriedly.

"Let's change, now!"

Xie Jin pulled the dagger out two inches, and the blood flowed even faster.

Qin Zhi hissed in pain and frowned, "Xie Shizi, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Xie Jin didn't say anything, but silently stabbed the dagger into his neck again. Qin Zhi took a breath and said, "Xie Jin, you did it on purpose!"

Ouyang Yong listened to Qin Zhi's voice and his men moved faster and faster, and soon Zhao Shu and the others were let go.

Seeing this, Zhao Yao immediately walked over and untied the rope on Zhao Xueying's wrist.

After untying her hands, Zhao Yao looked at her anxiously: "Are you okay?"

Zhao Xueying shook her head. Seeing her shaking her head, Zhao Yao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards Zhao Shu who was lying on the ground. He had only taken half a step when Zhao Xueying called him, "Father!"

When Zhao Yao heard the voice, he felt something strange in his mind, but before he could think about it, a dagger stabbed at him.

Zhao Yao instinctively wanted to snatch the dagger and stab back, but when he saw who was holding the dagger, he was full of disbelief and pulled his hand back. Because of this action, the dagger pierced his chest without a doubt.

Zhao Yao held Zhao Xueying's wrist; "Xueying, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Xueying suddenly smiled at him strangely, pulled out a dagger, and ran towards Zhao Shu.

Zhao Yao yelled, "Xueying!"

When Xie Jin saw this scene, he felt something was wrong and no longer cared about the person in his hand. He pushed him forward and ran towards Zhao Shu.

I don’t know where Zhao Xueying got the strength from, but she picked up Zhao Shu and ran straight to the edge of the cliff.

Zhao Yao covered his chest and hurriedly chased after him. At this moment, Zhao Xueying jumped off the cliff holding Zhao Shu.

Zhao Yao's eyes were bloodshot. He loosened his hand that was covering the wound and ran towards the cliff. Half of his body was hanging on the edge of the cliff, and his two hands tightly held Zhao Shu and Zhao Xueying who were falling down.

Xie Jin's heartbeat stopped for a second, and he turned to the group of soldiers and shouted angrily: "Why don't you come over and help!"

The soldier was startled by the shouting, then he immediately ran over, threw himself on Zhao Yao, and hugged him tightly. The other soldiers also hugged the soldier in front of them tightly.

Zhao Yao's wound was on his left chest, and his left hand was struggling to hold on to the unconscious Zhao Shu, with blood constantly flowing from his chest.

Xie Jin lay on the edge of the cliff, trying to reach Zhao Shu. Just when he was about to reach her, a dark shadow passed by Xie Jin's eyes. Zhao Shu in Zhao Yao's hand was instantly taken to the cliff by the shadow. The wind rushed past, and Qin Zhi's voice came from the bottom of the cliff: "It's too lonely to go to hell alone. I have to take this little beauty down to accompany me."

Xie Jin's eyes instantly turned red, and his hands, which were hanging on the edge of the cliff, were shaking uncontrollably.

Zhao Yao's blood dripped onto the cliff. He pulled Zhao Xueying up with all his strength, then slapped her in the face: "Beast!"

The hand that Zhao Yao used to hit Zhao Xueying was trembling slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice: "She, she is your sister, how could you, how could you." Zhao Yao's tone was hoarse, and he seemed to have no strength left at the end.

The soldier next to him looked at Xie Jin who was lying motionless on the edge of the cliff, and said cautiously: "Prince, we want Ouyang Yong." Before he finished speaking, Xie Jin climbed up from the edge of the cliff with stiff movements.

Looking at Xie Jin, who was shivering all over, the soldier swallowed his words involuntarily.

Xie Jin came to Zhao Xueying with an expressionless face. Zhao Yao looked at his expression and had a bad feeling. He half-blocked Zhao Xueying and said, "Jin'er, you..."

"Pa" the sharp palm wind passed by Zhao Yao's ear and landed heavily on Zhao Xueying's face. Zhao Yao looked at him in surprise, then came to his senses and said angrily: "Jin'er, this is my family affair. Don't you think of yourself as an outsider?"

But Xie Jin didn't care what he said and walked straight towards Zhao Xueying who was knocked to the ground by him.

Zhao Yao held Xie Jin's hand tightly and warned: "Jin'er, don't force your uncle!"

Xie Jin looked at him blankly: "Uncle, Zhao Shu is gone"

Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, and Xie Jin took advantage of the moment when Zhao Yao was distracted to come to Zhao Xueying.

Xie Jin put his foot on Zhao Xueying's chest and leaned towards her. He looked at her face for a moment, then reached out to the side of her face and tore off a human skin mask.

A strange face came into everyone's sight.

Xie Jin looked at "Zhao Xueying" under his feet with red eyes: "Have you colluded with Qin Zhi?"

"Zhao Xueying" looked at him without saying a word. The dagger in Xie Jin's hand scraped her face fiercely. In just a moment, several blood marks appeared on "Zhao Xueying"'s face.

Xie Jin raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it towards her throat without any reason, but when the tip of the knife was about to touch her throat, his remaining rationality made him stop his action.

Xie Jin gasped for breath, and the hand holding the dagger trembled uncontrollably. He said in a hoarse voice: "Take this man back." After a pause, he continued: "Take him back unharmed!"
