A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

Yu Xiao is absolutely right.

The most miserable criminals are those imprisoned on death row.

Moreover, it's a stunningly beautiful girl like Yu Xiao.

She was likely to be violated by a lustful jailer on her very first day in prison.

Locked up for a few days means being tortured for a few days.

When it came time for execution in the autumn, it would indeed be as Yu Xiao had said.

There wasn't a single good spot on his body.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed, feeling sorry for Yu Xiao's fate.

It was clearly not her fault.

But that's how the world is, what can we do?

It seems better to let Yuxiao commit suicide.

at this time.

A single tear fell from the jade flute as she softly spoke.

"If you two gentlemen have any pity for this young woman, please burn this place down after I commit suicide, so that my body will not be desecrated again."

Her resolute words revealed her desire to die.

At this time.

A commotion broke out outside the door.

The sound of armor clashing came from the air; it was obvious that the soldiers were following the trail of blood to arrest someone.

Yu Xiao's pretty face turned deathly pale instantly!

If she were captured, she would suffer a fate worse than death!

"Let go!"

Yu Xiao hurriedly tried to snatch the sharp blade from Li Rui's hand.

But what is Li Rui's temperament?

Is it possible for Li Rui to stand by and watch an innocent person be raped?

The hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress plot is certainly a cliché.

They can sit idly by, avoid trouble, or fear the powerful and influential.

With such a mindset, how can one be worthy of unifying the world?

"Quick! The bloodstains are in that house!"

Chaotic footsteps could already be heard outside the door.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said to Li Rui in a deep voice.

"Think it through. If you want to protect her, it's as difficult as climbing to heaven."

Yu Xiao's eyes were almost pleading.

She didn't know who Li Rui was, nor did she have time to find out.

All she knew was that once she was arrested...

What awaits her is endless humiliation, a fate worse than death!

"Let go of me..."

Just as Yu Xiao was about to snatch the knife...

Clang!

Li Rui swung the blade forcefully, sending it flying into the corner.

Yu Xiao was stunned.

Zhao Kuangyin blinked and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He swore that if Li Rui had just let go, he would have stood by and watched Yu Xiao commit suicide.

He would definitely abandon the job and leave on the spot!

Then tell his father, Zhao Hongyin, that although Li Rui is very talented, he is of low character and not capable of great things!

fortunately.

Li Rui did not stand idly by.

Zhao Kuangyin licked his lips, increasingly convinced that he had chosen the right person to follow!

At this moment, one could see the determination in Li Rui's calm gaze.

The dark-skinned fellow made a quick decision, rolled up his sleeves, and said...

"I'll go to the door and block them for a moment. If you have any instructions, do them as soon as possible."

After saying that, Zhao Kuangyin blocked the doorway.

No matter how much the imperial guards who came to arrest him shouted, he blocked them all by himself.

Take this opportunity.

Li Rui looked at Yu Xiao's blank eyes and said solemnly.

"You'll be alright, I'll protect you."

but.

Yu Xiao clearly felt no gratitude whatsoever; she only found it absurd!

"Guarantee? What guarantee do you have? I'd rather be dead than go!"

After saying this, Yu Xiao was on the verge of collapse.

Two streams of clear tears flowed continuously; she seemed to have already figured it out.

What unbearable and tragic things will you encounter after entering the prison cell!

And all this.

It's all because of this boastful man in front of us!

Just as Yu Xiao was filled with despair and even harbored a trace of resentment towards Li Rui.

Li Rui, however, had already devised a way to break the deadlock.

"Remember this well, my name is Li Rui, my courtesy name is Cangfeng, and I have a nickname, Li Yulong."

After seeing you sing a song today, I fell in love with you. We secretly met and fell in love at first sight.

As a result, Feng Hao tried to sexually assault you while I was in the restroom, but I rushed over to stop him.

During the altercation, Feng Hao drew his knife intending to attack, but I disarmed him in self-defense and slit his throat!

After finishing speaking quickly, Li Rui continued.

"Remember, no matter who asks you, just say this, and I'm 100% sure you'll be fine."

Yu Xiao tilted her head back, staring blankly at Li Rui's face.

He neither nodded nor shook his head.

This made Li Rui anxious.

"Did you remember?"

The jade flute trembled, startling her awake.

"You're Li Rui!?"

"Tsk, did you remember that?"

"I've got it."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yu Xiao added urgently.

"But I can't say that. I killed him, how can I let you..."

Li Rui immediately interrupted.

"I have rendered great service; killing someone will grant me a life, but you, who have killed someone, will surely die! Listen to me!"

Yu Xiao bit her lip and had no choice but to agree.

"But it seems a bit too fake that we fell in love at first sight and had a secret rendezvous on our first meeting."

Li Rui thought about it.

Yes, there needs to be something to prove one's feelings.

With this thought in mind, Li Rui immediately went to the table.

Write furiously!

Outside the door, Zhao Kuangyin became anxious when he saw that Li Rui was still writing.

"Hurry up!"

No sooner had he finished shouting than he got into a fight with the imperial guards who came to arrest him.

This black fellow truly lives up to his reputation for exceptional martial arts skills.

Bare-handed, he fought twenty opponents single-handedly, and they fled in terror!

Li Rui quickly finished writing and handed the paper to Yu Xiao.

"These are lyrics I wrote because I admire you; they are sincere and genuine, and cannot be faked."

Yu Xiao stared blankly at it.

The words on the paper were either wildly written or chaotically written.

But after just one glance, Yu Xiao was completely mesmerized!

She was well-versed in music and loved poetry.

This poem...

Yu Xiao's delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with a layer of mist.

She grabbed Li Rui's collar, her heart pounding wildly.

"Did you write this?"

"Nonsense, the ink isn't even dry."

"No, I mean, did you make this for me?"

"Let's just say that."

Li Rui looked up and saw that Zhao Kuangyin was already wounded, knowing that he would soon be unable to stop him.

"Take the poem. If anyone suspects that we are faking it, just show it to them. It will be enough to prove that I have long admired you."

Who would have thought?

Yu Xiao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with satisfaction and said softly.

"No need, I've already memorized it perfectly."

Before Li Rui could even express his surprise.

Yu Xiao said dreamily.

"Having this poem written for me in this life, even death would be worthwhile."

After saying that, Yu Xiao grabbed Li Rui's collar.

She strained to stand on tiptoe and stretch her delicate neck.

Those soft, moist red lips were then placed on Li Rui's lips.

The girl's clumsy first kiss left Li Rui stunned for a few seconds.

Zhao Kuangyin, with dark circles under his eyes, took a moment from his busy schedule to stare blankly at this scene.

After a while.

He couldn't hold back any longer and let go.

"I don't care anymore, just go over there and arrest them!"

The imperial guards, panting heavily, glanced fearfully at Zhao Kuangyin.

He was about to pass him.

But Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of their unpreparedness.

He grabbed the leader and angrily brought down his fist, the size of a sandbag.

"I'll kiss you! I'll kiss you!..."

The Imperial Guard leader was beaten and screamed in pain, feeling completely wronged!

Damn it!

Where did this big, dark-skinned man come from?

How could it be so magnificent?

Besides, it wasn't him who was embracing and kissing the beautiful woman!

at last.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

The imperial guards swarmed forward and bound him tightly.

Li Rui and Yu Xiao did not resist and were also taken into custody.

At this time.

Li Song and Li Yin, who rushed over, were greatly shocked to see this scene!

"What happened? Feng Hao is dead, what does that have to do with Li Rui?"

Li Rui spoke first, his voice ringing out.

"Feng Hao deserved to die! Yu Xiao and I had long been in love with each other, but Feng Hao tried to rape Yu Xiao while I was away."

When I stopped him, he drew his sword again, but he was no match for me, and I disarmed him and killed him!

The voice just fell.

Before anyone could react.

Yu Xiao suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

"It has nothing to do with Li Lang. Feng Hao tried to deceive me; I killed him!"

Li Rui was startled and looked over in astonishment.

Yu Xiao turned around, her eyes filled with infatuation.

"With the poem you wrote for me, I have no regrets even in death. How could I possibly drag you down with me?"

For a moment, Li Rui was dumbfounded!

That stupid woman!

How could a lousy poem have caused such a mess?

Let's stick to the plan!

"Shut up! What business is it of yours who I killed?"

Yu Xiao still wanted to take the blame and didn't want to implicate Li Rui.

But after being glared at by Li Rui's murderous eyes, Yu Xiao had no choice but to shut up for the time being.

Seeing this situation.

Li Song was dumbfounded!

No child?

When did things start between Li Rui and Yu Xiao?

Seeing that both men were suspected of killing Feng Hao, the Imperial Guards acted impartially and took both men away.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, he was arrested simply for assaulting an officer of the Imperial Guard.

Before leaving, Li Rui gave Li Song a wink.

Li Song understood and hurriedly went inside.

On the table lay a poem, its ink still wet.

After Li Song finished reading, his eyes widened instantly!

He suddenly turned his head and stared in astonishment at Li Rui's retreating figure.

"This...this...it's both a freshly composed poem and a masterpiece that will be passed down through generations!?"
