Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Li Ziyan slowly cast his gaze toward the door, his eyes revealing a kind of determination and indifference, and said softly: "The winter snow in Liangzhou is much more beautiful than that in Pingliang. It would be a good thing for you to die here."

Xiao Yufu's pupils trembled suddenly, her face was full of astonishment and disbelief, her voice trembled: "Li Ziyan, are you crazy?"

Li Ziyan nodded slightly, with a bitter smile on his face: "Yes, maybe I am really crazy. So, Your Highness, you'd better pray and choose a grave for yourself. I think this will be a good place for you to rest."

There was despair and helplessness in his words, as if he had seen through the fickleness of fate. Xiao Yufu's heart was filled with fear and sadness.

Xiao Yufu was shaking all over and crying. Her voice was filled with fear. "Li Ziyan, don't think that your Li and Zhao families can do whatever they want just because they have been meritorious officials for generations! Even if I die, I will decide my own fate. You? What qualifications do you have?"

At this moment, Li Ziyan was breathing rapidly and furiously, his eyes burning with anger. Xiao Yufu's eyes fell on the knife on the ground, and she said in a trembling voice: "If you continue to force me, I will die in front of you immediately! By then, even if you love Zhao Junning, my maid will say that it was Zhao Junning who killed me. In this way, even if you rescue her, she will not be able to escape the fate of being buried with you."

As she spoke, Xiao Yufu picked up the knife and made a motion to cut her neck. However, her hands kept shaking, as if the knife weighed a thousand pounds. Li Ziyan remained unmoved, his eyes cold and firm.

Xiao Yufu's breathing began to become rapid, and her hands began to tremble more violently. "Princess, why can't you do it? It's quick to cut the neck." Li Ziyan's voice was calm but with a hint of sarcasm.

Xiao Yufu's tears surged, and her heart was filled with despair and helplessness. She knew that her life was now in Li Ziyan's hands, but he remained unmoved.

Her hands were shaking so badly that the knife almost slipped from her hands. She was struggling inside, on the one hand, with the fear of death, and on the other hand, with the anger and unwillingness towards Li Ziyan.

Xiao Yufu was trembling all over because she was afraid of death. She met Li Ziyan's cold eyes with horror, and the knife in her hand could not help but slip. "I... I just asked Yan Zhantian to tie Zhao Junning up. I promise not to touch a hair on her body. Yan Zhantian will listen to me."

Li Ziyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said slowly: "Come with me to Wudao Village." Xiao Yufu was so scared that she dared not move, and Li Ziyan turned around and walked out of the house without looking back. Xu Wenhe's eyes were full of disgust. He walked into the house and said to Xiao Yufu indifferently: "Princess Jiu, let's go."

Outside the house, Xu Wenhe walked up to Li Ziyan, who said seriously, "Take some brothers with extraordinary skills and guard outside the mountain village. Remember not to make this matter public. Tonight we must not only rescue Jun Ning, but also wipe out Wudao Village in one fell swoop."

Xu Wenhe nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry."

At night, in Wudao Village, "Brother, why don't you share this beautiful woman among us brothers?"

"Yes, I haven't touched a woman in many years. She's still so beautiful."

"We can't stand it."

Yan Zhantian said seriously, "Don't touch her. When our Wudao Village is not suppressed by the imperial court in the future, you brothers can have as many beauties as you want."

"But... whatever Big Brother says is what it is! Let's just be patient for a while."

Then the bandits in the house raised their jars of wine and drank happily.

Zhao Junning, who was tied to the ground, slowly opened her eyes and looked around, thinking: "This is... a bandit's den!" Then she became more sober, and when the bandits had their backs to her, she looked around the room carefully.

With his hands tied behind his back, he tried to reach the rope with his fingers, and soon he reached the rope. At this time, Yan Zhantian stood up and walked towards Zhao Junning, who quickly closed her eyes.

"She's quite a capable girl, but she offended the princess." Zhao Junning squatted down and looked at her. She thought to herself: "Princess? The only one who has a grudge against me is the Ninth Princess Xiao Yufu. Did she let these bandits arrest me? What does this person want to do?!"

Yan Zhantian sighed and loosened the rope on Zhao Junning's hand, "You're awake now, stop pretending to be asleep." Zhao Junning opened her eyes tremblingly. Yan Zhantian chuckled, "Are you curious about how I knew? The knockout drug I gave you has a time limit. It's been seven hours and the effect has long passed."

Then he stood up and said, "Brother, keep drinking."

"Brother, why did you untie her? My brothers and I will enjoy the princess without her knowing." Yan Zhantian looked at her and said, "Don't even think about it. If it was someone else, I would agree, but not today."

Zhao Junning huddled up in fear. Suddenly she thought of something, touched her waist and took out a medicine bottle: incense, great. Then she looked at the fire nearby and smiled softly, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and looked at the basin not far away. After throwing the handkerchief in, she took advantage of the fact that the others were a little drunk and didn't see her to open the medicine bottle, gently moved closer to the brazier, poured the medicine in the bottle into the brazier, and quickly moved back, picked up the handkerchief to filter out the water. Cover your nose and mouth.

Yan Zhantian looked at Zhao Junning, "Why are you covering your nose?" At this time, the incense was released due to the effect of the fire, and the other people had already been tricked. Yan Zhantian also realized: "Not good! You... you are immoral." Then everyone in the room fell down, Zhao Junning covered his nose and stood up and whispered: "I am immoral? You kidnapped me and it is moral?"
