The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Since we can't avoid it, we might as well face it head-on.

She has already fled from the State of Zhao to the State of Yan. If she were to flee again, where could she go?

Yan Chunjun likes dancing, so I wonder if he would like a dance of death?

As for what fate awaits her after this dance, the Snow Woman doesn't care.

She just wanted to tell the world that she was never someone else's plaything.

Even with overwhelming power, she can't possibly submit.

More importantly, Mr. Kuang Xiu is dead, and no one in this world will ever treat her well again. She has no reason to live in this world anymore.

……

Inside the residence of Lord Yanchun.

Gao Jianli was imprisoned in a woodshed.

He was seriously injured. Jueying's sword strike was fast and fierce, giving Gao Jianli no chance to resist, and directly knocked him unconscious.

Jiang Chuan, disguised as Jueying, arrived at the woodshed.

He was not Jueying; in fact, to some extent, he and Gao Jianli were friends who had met twice. So he came here to heal Gao Jianli's injuries.

Chapter 271 Rainy Night

Gao Jianli was severely injured by Jueying's sword. In the original story, after being escorted to Yanchunjun's residence, he was tortured. Under such circumstances, when he woke up, he was able to break free of his restraints and kill Jueying and many guards in Yanchunjun's residence. It can be seen that Gao Jianli was not as weak as imagined.

However, Jiang Chuan also knew that when people are in dire straits, they can unleash terrifying potential. It was not surprising that Gao Jianli was able to turn the tide in a desperate situation, after all, he was a person with strength.

The first time I fought Jueying was because of my carelessness.

His counterattack against Jueying was due to Jueying's carelessness after seeing him seriously injured.

Therefore, we must never be careless, no matter when or where.

Jiang Chuan thought to himself.

In the past, he had relaxed his guard, which attracted the covetousness of Donghuang Taiyi and Luo Wang. Therefore, now, Jiang Chuan is proceeding cautiously and carefully.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chuan channeled his inner energy to help Gao Jianli heal his injuries, while also giving him the best medicinal herbs.

Because his injuries had improved considerably, Gao Jianli soon woke up.

When he woke up, he was about to move when he found himself restrained.

Then, a face that left a deep impression on him came into view—it was Jueying.

"How dare you! Knowing that Xue Nu is the woman the Lord has his eye on, you still dare to contact her in private. It seems that the lesson I gave you before was not enough."

Jueying's voice reached Gao Jianli's ears.

Gao Jianli remembered what had happened, and his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Kill me if you want. I had no hope of surviving once I fell into your hands," Gao Jianli said in a deep voice, revealing his integrity and moral character.

"Kill you?" Jueying said. "Don't worry, I will kill you when the time comes, but for now, you still have some value."

Gao Jianli's expression changed slightly.

Jueying's voice rang out again, "Aren't you curious about your value?"

"Just earlier, the umbrella you were carrying, along with the Lord's gift, were delivered to the Snow Maiden. She has accepted both gifts and will come here tomorrow night."

"I didn't realize that you, a mere musician, would be valued so highly by Miss Xue Nu. It's a pity that Miss Xue Nu has already been set her sights on by Lord Yan Chun."

Jueying's words carried a hint of sighing.

Then, ignoring Gao Jianli's distress caused by his words, he left the woodshed where Gao Jianli was temporarily imprisoned.

After Jueying left, Gao Jianli, worried about Xue Nu, wanted to break free of his restraints and escape. He suddenly realized that he had become Xue Nu's weakness and a burden.

Because of her own reasons, the Snow Maiden made up her mind to enter the Yan Chun Jun's mansion.

This touched Gao Jianli, but also made him feel somewhat sad.

The snow woman's kindness moved him.

At the same time, he also felt guilty.

Because of Kuang Xiu, he really wanted to take care of Xue Nu, but in the end, he ended up dragging Xue Nu down with him.

……

Time flies, and another day has passed.

Gao Jianli's injuries have improved considerably.

He also realized that Jueying had healed his wounds, but he did not think it was Jueying's kindness. Instead, he thought that Jueying was afraid that if he died, he would not be able to blackmail Xue Nu, so he deliberately healed him.

Jueying's intentions were truly malicious.

However, Gao Jianli did not attempt to kill himself.

Although he tried to break free from his constraints during this time without success, as long as he was alive, there was always hope, and he never gave up resisting.

The thought that Xue Nu would come to Yan Chun Jun's residence tonight made Gao Jianli feel extremely uncomfortable.

Time flies, and night falls in the blink of an eye.

The door to the woodshed was opened.

Jueying's face was once again reflected in Gao Jianli's eyes.

"Come with me."

Jueying's tone was very cold.

Before Gao Jianli could refuse, two guards stepped forward, seized him, and forcibly took him away.

It's going to rain tonight, and quite heavily.

The rain poured down, and because there were no umbrellas, the rain fell on Jueying and Gao Jianli. Gao Jianli, in particular, felt the cold rain hitting his body and felt a chill run through his body.

He ultimately failed to find any hope.

Led by Jueying, he arrived at the entrance of Yanchunjun's residence.

Two maids stepped forward, holding umbrellas, to protect a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes who was extremely beautiful.

The woman was indeed the Snow Woman.

The Snow Maiden happened to see Gao Jianli being escorted there, and the scene became somewhat awkward.

The real reason was that Gao Jianli was in such a sorry state at that moment.

Jiang Chuan, disguised as Jueying, stepped forward and said to Xue Nu, "Don't worry, Miss Xue Nu, now that you've come here, he will be released soon."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman paused for a moment, then nodded.

She had originally wanted to bring up the matter of the musician Xiao Gao, but since he had given her a way out, Xue Nu didn't hesitate.

At the same time, this also prevented her from speaking up first. If she were to plead for Xiao Gao, it would inevitably cause Xiao Gao and these other people to have doubts.

She simply didn't want innocent people to be implicated because of her.

Then, escorted by two maids holding umbrellas, the Snow Woman headed towards the hall where Lord Yanchun was.

As for Gao Jianli, he was escorted by Jueying and his guards to another part of the mansion.

At first, Gao Jianli really thought the other party would release him, after all, it was said in front of Xue Nu (Hao Nuo).

But as time went on, Gao Jianli gradually realized that something was wrong.

The other party never intended to let me go.

They were escorted all the way to an open space behind Lord Yanchun's residence.

Gao Jianli was still trying to struggle against the restraints on his body; he did not want to die like this.

However, the knots tied by Jueying around his body were dead knots, and the ropes were made of cowhide, so he had no way to struggle.

"Am I really going to die like this?"

Gao Jianli thought to himself, unwilling to accept it.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of a sword being drawn. It was Jueying's sword being drawn. He thought Jueying's sword would be aimed directly at him, but instead, a scream rang in his ears.

Gao Jianli was taken aback. He turned his head and saw Jueying's sword had killed all of his subordinates.

Blood mingled with the rainwater, and the body lay sprawled on the ground.

Chapter 272 Unbridled Rampage

"What do you want to do?"

Gao Jianli was utterly shocked by what he saw. "If I remember correctly, they should be your subordinates, right?"

Even when trapped in a desperate situation, Gao Jianli still tried his best to talk to Jueying.

As he spoke, he continued to try to break free of his restraints, hoping to buy himself time through words.

Jueying, sword in hand, glanced at Gao Jianli and said, "What if I told you that I killed them to save you?"
